In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Shen Xiaoqing's wedding.
The Shen family started working before dawn, and Li Qiuhua was so busy that he was exhausted.
The dowry with big red "囍" characters on it filled half of the yard.
Everyone who came to watch the fun praised Li Qiuhua as a virtuous stepmother.
Treat your stepdaughter like your own daughter.
Shen Xiaoqing, who was wearing a bright red wedding dress, was furious when she heard this in the room.
If Shen Xiaoqing didn't need that peasant in the future, she really wanted to rush out and ask.
In the compound, what mother would buy a bunch of broken pots, bowls, and rotten cotton wool to make up the number of broken pots, bowls, and rotten cotton wool when marrying off her daughter? !
What if their peasants marry their daughters off?
Also asked for her opinion.
Three turns and one ring, is there any need to say more? !
Isn't this the most basic?! The result is...
Just a bicycle and a watch.
The watch was bought for her by her mother a few years ago.
Still a daughter?!
She originally thought that since the peasant didn't buy much, he should give her a big red envelope as a dowry, but in the end, what she got was...
Now that both the money and the tickets are gone, I can only let her suffer.
Thinking about giving away more than two thousand yuan to that short-lived guy for nothing, Shen Xiaoqing felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
Anyone with a brain can see what happened on the train.
The idiot was caught in a trap as soon as he put his hand in. How could he have the time to steal money?
But...
Shen Xiaoqing clenched her back teeth.
"Xiao Qing, the groom will be here soon to pick you up. Why are you just standing there in a daze instead of getting ready?"
He Wenjing, Shen Xiaoqing's only good sister in the compound, saw Shen Xiaoqing sitting in front of the dressing table in a daze and couldn't help but go up and push her.
He Wenjing is considered an outlier in this compound full of talented people.
Her father died early, and later her mother married her widowed old lover, the second son of the He family, He Jiuping, so she followed him to the He family as a burden.
Although He Jiuping's father only has three siblings, He Jiuping and his two children, he has many grandchildren.
In the compound, no one can rival the He family in terms of branching out.
But it doesn’t matter how many people there are in the compound.
Old man He, who had lived a mediocre life, was able to live in a large compound thanks to his high emotional intelligence. Therefore, he always reminded the younger generation in his family to be low-key and humble.
You can't quarrel with others, and you can't argue with others.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble outside will be beaten.
Whether right or wrong.
At first, there were one or two self-important people who were unwilling to be outdone and competed with the chosen ones in the compound.
After two meals, his skin was torn and his flesh was bruised. No matter how big his self-importance was, it would be deflated.
When He Wenjing's mother was a girl, she had been flirting with the unmarried He Jiuping. She thought that with her good looks, she could become a rich and successful woman.
Who would have thought that after a while of intimacy, He Jiuping turned around and married the rich girl of the compound.
He Wenjing's mother had no choice but to accept defeat and turned around and married a middle-aged man whose wife had died.
As a result, just a few years after she got married, the middle-aged man lost his life due to a co-worker's work mistake. Seeing that their family had many old and young people, the factory gave them a large sum of death compensation.
As a result, as soon as the compensation was received, the middle-aged man's parents kicked He Wenjing's mother and He Wenjing out of the house on the grounds that He Wenjing's mother had an immoral private life.
Not long after returning to her parents' home, He Wenjing's mother hooked up with He Jiuping, who had just lost his wife.
After the two got together, He Wenjing's mother gave birth to two sons and a daughter for He Jiuping.
In addition, there is a son and a daughter born to He Jiuping's original wife.
He Jiuping has three sons and three daughters.
In this environment, He Wenjing, the burden, is completely invisible in the He family.
The food they ate was what was left over by their older brothers and sisters, and the clothes they wore were all the ones that He Jiuping matched with the girl and that the girl didn't like or were too small for her to wear.
Until Qin Lijuan brought Shen Xiaoqing to the compound...
He Wenjing was lucky enough to wear new clothes. Although these new clothes were given to her by Shen Xiaoqing because she didn't like them, they were still a thousand times better than the patched and faded clothes left over by her nominal sister.
Later, He Wenjing became one of Shen Xiaoqing's many followers.
This situation continued until Mr. Shen returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors...
When I came back, everything had changed.
The followers of Shen Xiaoqing also dispersed overnight, leaving only He Wenjing, an excluded and invisible person.
When Shen Xiaoqing got married, only He Wenjing, a little-known person, came.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The other girlfriends who used to call her sisters have already gone to fawn over someone else.
Shen Xiaoqing turned her head to look at He Wenjing, slightly curved her lips, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Wenjing, thank you for being willing to be my friend."
"Xiao Qing, what nonsense are you talking about?! Didn't we say before that we would be good friends for life?" He Wenjing said with a smile.
He Wenjing had always envied Shen Xiaoqing. Although she was a burden like her, she was the only granddaughter of Mr. Shen.
And he has such a rich cousin.
Not only does he have no worries about food and clothing, but he is also flattered by a large group of people wherever he goes.
Even after her biological mother passed away, her stepmother still treated her like her own daughter.
Not only did she buy so much dowry, but she also got a brand new bicycle.
What about her?
In the He family, she was just a little maid, doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, and everything was her job.
As the two were talking, the sound of firecrackers was heard outside the house.
A moment later, Zeng Liangyou, with a big red flower pinned on his chest, came in surrounded by relatives and friends.
"Groom, come and see if our new bride is pretty..."
"Yes! Groom, come and see our bride."
"Groom, go and give me a kiss..."
…
Friends and family laughed and joked.
"Beautiful!" Zeng Liangyou smiled shyly.
He behaves like an honest child.
Zeng Liangyou was born with a fair complexion, giving people the illusion of being gentle and harmless.
Plus, he was deliberately pretending to be a good boy, which made him look even more harmless.
After a burst of laughter, Zeng Liangyou carried Shen Xiaoqing out of the Shen family's courtyard.
In order to entertain the big shots from the Shen family, the Zeng family spent a lot of money to book a state-owned canteen.
There is a festive red banner hanging at the entrance, with plastic flower baskets on both sides and decorations made around it with colorful balloons. There is also a big red "囍" character pasted on the transparent glass, which looks very festive.
Zeng Liangyou's father Zeng Jinzhi was wearing a Zhongshan suit and standing at the door to welcome guests, looking energetic.
Zhao Yingui stood beside him, also smiling.
In order to highlight the identity of his future daughter-in-law, Zeng Jinzhi specially invited the factory director and directors of various departments.
Upon learning that Zeng Jinzhi's future daughter-in-law was Mr. Shen's granddaughter, the factory director postponed his brother-in-law's son's full-month banquet and came early to wait.
The directors of each department dared not neglect it. They got up before dawn, changed into new clothes, combed their hair again and again, and even looked in the mirror before going out, for fear of leaving a bad impression on Mr. Shen.
