Xujiatun

The Xu family is busy preparing for a wedding.

Early in the morning, a large group of old women came to help, gossiping about other people while they were working.

Although Lin Xiaomeng had no time to rest during these days, she was not idle either. She spent money to find someone to enclose the two rooms belonging to her family and replanned a small courtyard.

Since it is frozen now and there is no work to do, we will first build a fence around the area and rebuild the wall next spring.

She didn't want to wait any longer and wanted to draw a clear line between herself and the Xu family.

As the kitchen and toilet were inconvenient, she found someone to temporarily build two thatched sheds, set up a stove inside and use them as a makeshift shelter, and then tidy them up again next year.

He fenced off the yard, sealed the inner door on this side, reopened the two doors, and lived his life down to earth.

The family shame was not exposed, and Xu Huaizhi was no longer dissatisfied, so he came back today to support his brother.

As for how much sincerity he has, only he himself knows.

Lin Xiaomeng used the confinement period as an excuse to stay at home and not come out, and she also locked Dacheng at home and did not let him go out. She did not want to get involved in Xu Huaiyu's affairs, for fear of being implicated by this unlucky guy.

The old ladies in the village were all guessing openly and secretly what was going on with the Xu family. How could Liu Guifang, such a powerful old woman, be willing to agree to marry someone else? And how come Lin Xiaomeng finally got pregnant, but had a miscarriage?

In short, everyone used their imagination to come up with a big drama, saying all kinds of things.

On the wedding day, Xu Huaiyu should have been in high spirits and dressed up to pick up the bride, but now he was lying on the bed, looking listless.

There was rust on the surface of the clip, and the barefoot doctor simply cleaned it without thoroughly sterilizing it. The dirt inside caused his wound to become inflamed and swollen, and his ankle became like a big bun.

The continuous high fever made him exhausted, and he hadn't had a good rest for two months.

Yesterday Xu Mingshan went to the commune to find a doctor who gave him two bottles of anti-inflammatory drip. Today he is obviously feeling better.

Liu Guifang came in with new clothes to help him change.

"Mom, who did you arrange to pick up Lijun? My brother?" He was so busy these two days that he had no time to take care of these trivial matters at home.

Liu Guifang looked up and said, "She's so old now, does she still need to be picked up? I asked you to tell the Yan family to find a way to come here by themselves."

Xu Huaiyu sat up with a start: "What? Mom, what are you doing! If you are like this, will your family marry your daughter to me? Isn't this a waste of her?"

Although Xu Huaiyu was a carefree person, he still knew that it was inappropriate to let the bride find a way to get married on her own on the wedding day.

"What are you yelling about! Isn't it because you hurt your leg and can't go? Who told you to take the responsibility? Do you think you are the second one?

Xu Huaiyu, let me tell you, if you don’t show some respect to your new bride when she enters the family, you won’t be able to control her in the future.”

"What if she doesn't come?" Xu Huaiyu felt that his mother's words made some sense, and said weakly.

"How dare she! She accepted the betrothal gift from our Xu family and got the marriage certificate. Who else could she marry if she doesn't come?" Liu Guifang said firmly.

"Okay then! Mom, thank you for your hard work today." Xu Huaiyu knew how to judge the situation best and would not argue with his mother at this time.

"Got it, don't worry, I'll make sure your wedding is a grand one.

You stay here for a while, and when the bride comes, I will let your elder brother carry you out."

-

The scene where Yan Lijun was placed in Xu Huaitun.

The village was not like a main road, the snow was very thick, and the bicycle could only be pushed in, so he dropped her off here and left first. If he was also afraid of being beaten by the Xu family, he knew that the Yan family had replaced the original with the fake one.

Poor Yan Lijun was walking alone in the snow with her suitcase.

On the one hand, I feel that this road is too long and very tiring to walk.

On the other hand, she hoped that this road would never end and she wouldn't have to face the Xu family's questioning and scolding.

No matter how long the road is, it will eventually come to an end, and she finally arrived in Xujiatun.

After walking for such a long time in the cold wind, her face, which she had carefully prepared, was blown into a mess and her hair was out of shape.

When she was walking in the village, people passing by would point and talk at her, but she would just keep her head down and walk, turning a deaf ear to them, for fear of hearing those harsh words.

"Why haven't you seen this girl before?"

"She's wearing such bright colors and carrying a suitcase. Could she be the city-dwelling wife of the third son of the Xu family?"

"No way. Liu Guifang said they gave a betrothal gift of three turns and one ring. This girl came here alone, and there was not even a wedding gift. That can't be the case."

…

It was not until everyone saw her walking towards the big tiled house of the old Xu family that they were sure that this was Xu Huaiyu's new daughter-in-law. Ma Xiao followed behind to see the excitement.

What's going on? Isn't the woman said to be in good condition? Why does she look so rude?

It was almost one o'clock. Liu Guifang stood at the door, looking anxiously, but she never saw the wedding procession. She was very worried, wondering if what her son said was true and the Yan family was angry and couldn't come.

When she was extremely anxious, she finally saw a red shadow coming towards her from a distance. When she looked closely, she realized it was none other than Yan Lijun.

Liu Guifang thought to herself that Amitabha Buddha had finally come, otherwise how could she come to Taiwan today?

Because she was in a hurry, she ignored every detail of Yan Lijun's arrival, thinking that the bride's escort was still behind and Yan Lijun had arrived first.

Hurry up and ask Xu Huaizhi to prepare to set off firecrackers, because the bride is coming.

Amid the sound of explosions, Yan Lijun came into everyone's sight.

She actually looks good, but because of these bad things, her eyes are red and swollen from crying recently, and she has used a lot of makeup, so she looks very shabby.

Those who wanted to see the city brides in the yard were a little disappointed. Is this a city girl? Nothing more than this.

The sharp-eyed girl saw that she was carrying a scarlet suitcase and said enviously, "This suitcase is really beautiful."

"Yeah, there must be several wives in our village who have accompanied suitcases before. It's just different in the city."

…

Everyone's discussion greatly satisfied Liu Guifang's vanity. She tilted her neck and said, "That's right. My third son is getting married. Isn't that bad? There will be something good coming later! Three turns and one sound. You haven't seen it before, right?"

"Oh, three turns and one ring? This is the first of its kind in our village. Generally, a marriage with one or two things is considered a big deal, but you actually arranged all of them. You are worthy of being the branch secretary's family, and you did it in an open and aboveboard manner." Yang Fengmei, who had previously been at odds with Gu Qinghuan, flattered him.

"That's right, open and bright."

Most people praised Liu Guifang for organizing the wedding well and in an authentic way.

Only the captain's wife, Chen Fengqin, sneered, but said nothing.

Her father-in-law is a respected elder in the village. He had participated in the Xu family's testimony before, and after returning, he told them the details of the Xu family.

The Xu family is really dishonest, especially the daughter Liu Guifang. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. The second son went through life and death to earn money, but when she didn't make any money, she threw it away as soon as she saw her father was crazy. I spent a hundred yuan to give it to my father.

The third brother is lazy and likes to eat, but he is given a house and money, and his wedding is so grand. Liu Guifang must be tempted.

Chen Fengqin also has two sons, one older and one younger. To be honest, it is impossible to treat them equally, but she will definitely not be like Liu Guifang, treating one as a weed and the other as a treasure.
