Gu Zuozuo glanced at Li Mo, who had been grinning foolishly ever since he entered the room and heard that they were going to discuss marriage, and then turned away speechlessly.
Are all men like this? They're usually as shrewd as monkeys, but the moment they hear they're getting married, they turn into complete idiots, showing their big teeth.
They didn't know much about the wedding customs here, and neither side of the family had any elders to help. After thinking about it, Gu Zuozuo directly pulled Grandma Ma and Liu Ximei over to help, reminding them of what needed to be bought and prepared.
Gu Zuozuo and Meng Tian were busy with the wedding preparations as if it were their own daughter, while the bride-to-be was all smiles and acted like a silly, innocent girl. The Qi Meng who was crying and whining about not getting married not long ago was gone forever.
Weddings in this era lacked elaborate wedding attire, ceremonial halls, and traditional wedding dresses. Instead, they featured thirty-six legs, four large bedding sets, and a crisp green military uniform, with vows recited before a portrait of a great leader.
On the day of the wedding, most of the people from Malutun came to help out, and the aunties and grandmas were all eager to show off their skills.
There was nothing they could do; apart from the bride, the groom and her two bridesmaids were all well-off and had plenty of money. Not to mention, Gu Zuozuo had also brought back two large wild boars, two wild sheep, and a wild deer from the mountains.
The villagers were even happier and more excited when they decided to hold their wedding in Malutun.
Li Zhaodi stood under the big tree at the village entrance, her face full of jealousy and resentment, gritting her teeth as she looked in the direction of the wheat field.
Everyone here is a former educated youth from the same place. Why is it that Qi Meng, this idiot, gets so much help from everyone, along with all those generous dowries and the four essential items prepared by the groom's family?
And she had nothing. Not only did she have endless work to do, but she also had to endure the sordid affairs between her husband and her sister-in-law.
Do you want her to live a life worse than yours?
A sinister, hoarse voice echoed behind her, making Li Zhaodi shudder.
"Li Yamei! Can you please stop appearing silently behind me all the time!"
Her sister-in-law was always appearing and disappearing mysteriously, exuding an eerie aura. If it weren't for the fact that she could still breathe, she would have suspected that she was a ghost.
Li Yamei's gaze was filled with bitterness as she looked at the lively wedding scene in front of her and the smiling female educated youth. She felt a mix of resentment and envy in her heart.
She had once been one of those people, and she had asked herself more than once why she was the one targeted by Granny Yang and not the other female educated youth! Why was she the only one who went to hell!
Li Zhaodi was horrified by the resentment on her face, which gave her goosebumps. Her sister-in-law had gone mad! Instead of seeking revenge on the culprit, Granny Yang, she was secretly observing the female educated youth every day.
"Don't you resent it? They are all female educated youth. They can be so carefree and happy, while we have endless work and constant beatings."
Li Zhaodi took a large step back to show that she had no complaints.
What is she complaining about?
Should she blame herself for having a brain fart and marrying a bastard who liked Wang Yuan's wife?
She envied those from the same city who could earn a salary and marry happily with a dowry.
But she was also a coward. She was afraid of Gu Zuozuo. That woman was a monster, and she was afraid that her skull wouldn't be as hard as her fist.
Having been secretly taught a lesson a few times, she had long since learned her lesson. Jealousy was one thing, resentment was another, but that was her own business. If she were to actually take action against them, she was afraid she wouldn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
"Sister-in-law, don't treat me like a fool. I wouldn't dare do anything to them. I only have one life. Gu Zuozuo could kick me to death with one kick. I wouldn't dare to be so shameless. If you want to do something, you do it yourself!"
As he spoke, he slipped on his feet and ran off as fast as he could, as if a ghost were chasing him.
Li Yamei sneered.
"waste!"
"I can also make you a useless piece of trash, are you willing?"
A smiling voice came from the treetop, causing Li Yamei to freeze in place. She tilted her head back and met a pair of smiling yet cold peach blossom eyes.
"Li Yamei, don't blame your misfortune on others, especially Qi Meng and Meng Tian. If I find out what you've done, I won't let you off the hook. The wolves on the mountaintop have eaten human flesh and seen human blood."
Li Yamei's back was soaked with cold sweat, and she couldn't utter a sound for a long time.
She knew this woman would keep her word.
Gu Zuozuo chuckled, jumped down from the tree, and headed towards the bustling wheat field.
Li Yamei's chest heaved violently a few times, then she took a deep look at Gu Zuozuo who was walking away, suppressed all her emotions, and turned to leave.
[Host, aren't you worried she might try something underhanded?]
Gu Zuozuo tapped her chin with her slender white fingertips, her smile carrying a profound meaning.
"She didn't dare, and she didn't have the chance."
Before they even reached the threshing ground, they suddenly heard the wailing of the educated youth. One of the male educated youth even took off his coat and ran while crying, making a very loud noise.
"The college entrance examination has been reinstated! The college entrance examination has been reinstated!"
Instantly, the entire village erupted in chaos. The wedding scene turned into a scene of weeping and wailing, a chaotic spectacle that left everyone bewildered.
Qi Meng, disregarding the fact that they hadn't taken their oath yet, ran out and hugged Gu Zuozuo tightly, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Zuo Zuo... Waaah... The college entrance exam... The college entrance exam has been reinstated!"
We can go home openly and honestly now!
