"No one has arrived yet." Song Yuehua said.
Zhou Dafu said to Bai Shu, "Go wash your face quickly."
After Bai Shu handed the pastries to Song Yuehua, he quickly ran to the backyard to fetch water to wash his face.
Dao Xiaoyi stuck his head out from outside and said, "Boss, do you want me to help you with anything?"
Song Yuehua and Liu Xue smiled and said, "No need, just go and take care of the pig farm and the chicken farm."
The two of them arranged the cakes and pastries bought by Bai Shu on a plate. Wu Xinlian and Zuo Chunniang made tea and sweet soup respectively. They kept craning their necks to look outside the door.
Fortunately, after a while, Matchmaker Tang and her people arrived in a lively manner. Matchmaker Tang walked in front, saying happy words and leading the way, followed by Huo Minggui holding a wooden goose.
Huo Minggui looked around for a long time but didn't see Liu Xue.
Wang, the head of Hongye Village, and several other men from the village came into the village smiling and carrying an eight-weight betrothal box.
Following behind were many local villagers who came to watch the fun.
After Zhou Dafu bowed and said some polite words to Wang Lizheng at the door, he welcomed him in with a smile. Only then did Matchmaker Tang hand the betrothal gift list to Song Yuehua.
Everything was there and it was not rude. After reading it, Song Yuehua nodded and handed the list to Bai Shu.
After receiving the betrothal gifts, the two parties exchanged marriage certificates and the marriage was settled.
Zhou Dafu and Wang Lizheng were sitting opposite each other in the lobby, talking lively and cheerfully, while matchmaker Tang was also saying some festive words.
Wu Xinlian and Zuo Chunniang kept serving tea and sweet soup to entertain the guests, and the whole compound was bustling with activity.
However, Huo Minggui remained silent, which was strange.
It was not until after the people left that Song Yuehua asked Matchmaker Tang and understood what was going on. It turned out that Mrs. Liu had issued a gag order on him at home.
"This is a great idea." Song Yuehua said with a smile.
Back in the house, Song Yuehua and Liu Xue looked at the marriage certificate together, "Are you happy?"
"Happy."
"That's good."
After Song Yuehua left, Liu Xue still wanted to talk to Bai Shu. After looking around, she finally found the boy squatting beside the well wiping his tears.
"Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you?" Liu Xue asked.
Bai Shu scooped up some water and splashed it on his face, then laughed dryly and said, "I'm happy."
Liu Xue, "..."
She hasn't even gotten married yet, isn't it a bit too early for her to cry?
Just when Liu Xue was about to say something nice to comfort him, there was a commotion outside.
As soon as Liu Xue came out, she saw Liu Meiniang being stopped outside the door. She waved her hands and shouted, "Xiaoxue!"
"Mother..."
Liu Xue hurried over and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Whatever you ask me to do!"
Liu Meiniang no longer has any of her former charm, and her face has become increasingly sour and mean.
She pointed at Liu Xue and cursed, "I raised you to this age, but you didn't tell me about something as important as your engagement. What do you think of me?"
"Why should I tell you? My master will decide my marriage for me." Liu Xue said calmly, "Or, you should prepare a dowry for me."
"Take out the betrothal gifts. I have raised you to this age, and the betrothal gifts are what I deserve..."
Liu Meiniang rushed over, and Dao Xiaoyi grabbed her from behind, "Auntie, if you continue to be so rude, I will hit you."
"Mother..."
Bai Shu came out from behind and asked the onlookers to leave.
Then he came to Liu Mei Niang's side and whispered, "Mother, don't come again. This matter has nothing to do with you. Or do you really want to fight to the death?"
"you……"
Liu Mei Niang was much more sober now. She bit her lips and clenched her clothes tightly on her chest with one hand, "Xiao Shu, are you going to join Song Daya in bullying my mother?"
Bai Shu said in a calm tone, "During the drought, you came to ask me for help once, but after that time, our mother-son relationship was long gone."
"My sister is my only relative in this life. If you insist on making my sister unhappy, then I will have to make you unhappy."
After saying that, Bai Shu turned to Liu Xue and said, "Sister, go and do your work. Don't delay the work."
Liu Xue nodded and turned to leave.
Outside, Liu Meiniang was still crying, "Mother, I have no other choice. If there is any other way, Mother..."
"You should go!"
Bai Shu's expression was indifferent and cold, and the gate of the courtyard slammed shut.
"Little book!"
Liu Meiniang collapsed on the ground, wondering why she had planned every step, but still ended up with her children and husband not loving her.
