Chapter 150: Bridal Chamber
Fortunately, Tang Jianguo, who was helping Cao Te, realized that something was not right and discovered that more and more people were coming to give gifts and drink. At first, I really thought that Ma Youcai was popular because so many people came to drink with him. Later, I found out the problem and asked Liu Bing to investigate secretly, only to find out that it was the meat that caused the problem.
That’s right. Nowadays, which family has meat for a wedding banquet? It’s good enough to have multi-grain steamed buns, at most just one multi-grain steamed bun. But their family not only has two pure corn steamed buns, but also meat. Who wouldn’t want to have a taste? This is something you can’t eat even during Chinese New Year.
After Tang Jianguo figured it out, he felt a little regretful. At the beginning, Ma Youcai's uncles and aunts had also advised him not to cook meat. It was Ma Youcai who wanted to give the bride a decent banquet. He himself did not expect this situation, which led to the current situation.
Tang Jianguo had no other choice but to ask people to continue making bone soup. Fortunately, there were enough bones. He also asked Liu Bing to go to the city to get back some meat stored in the ice cellar. Only Qinglai was left, so he asked people to steam more corn buns.
Later, when people came to the banquet, there were less vegetables, but they had no objection and were very happy instead. Because the two vegetables, stir-fried garlic green beans and stir-fried bok choy, were out of stock, the host fried an extra dish of fragrant, sweet and glutinous stir-fried sweet potato cubes. Although they are also sweet potatoes, they are fried to be more fragrant; the stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots also has more slices of meat, so each person can have at least four slices, which made the people who came to the banquet later very happy. So some people who finished the banquet first would sneak back to have another meal. Of course, there are only a few such people, and they are all from the same village, so those in charge turn a blind eye.
The banquet lasted from noon to evening, which was something Ma Youcai had not expected. The last group of people who were having the feast left, and those who stayed behind were the groom's friends and some young men from the village. Those young men were extremely jealous of him. An orphan was able to marry a wife, and a wife with such a large dowry. The fire of their jealousy was burning fiercely. How could they sleep tonight if they didn't go to the bridal chamber to vent their jealousy?
As a result, Ma Youcai's wedding night was made noisy by these young men until half the night, with all kinds of performances coming one after another. For example, eating dates mouth to mouth, lighting firecrackers together, kittens fishing, picking ashes, etc. Not only the young men came to make trouble, they also instigated the little half-grown children to make trouble, making it impossible for Tang Jianguo, Liu Bing, Wang Feng and other brothers to make trouble in the bridal chamber. They were still amazed at the many creative ideas these village boys had, all of which revolved around having skin-to-skin contact between the bride and groom.
Poor Ma Youcai still didn't know why these people made such a big fuss in the bridal chamber. It was all because of jealousy. He was still wondering when the young men in the village became so close to him.
In the middle of the night, Tang Jianguo, Wang Feng and a few other brothers saw that the quarrel had lasted too long and they did not want to delay their brothers' wedding night, so they helped persuade the group of jealous young men to leave the bridal chamber.
In the bridal chamber, the groom was exhausted after a whole day and was kept awake all night by the young men who made a fuss in the bridal chamber. The groom fell into a deep sleep as he lay on the bed. It was not until dawn that he remembered that he had not spent his wedding night. He got up from the bed with a shout of annoyance and went out of the bridal chamber to look for his bride.
The bride was cooking breakfast in the kitchen when she was startled by Ma Youcai's loud shout...
How did the groom Ma Youcai and the bride Han Guihua spend their wedding night? But there was no way of knowing, as she was currently being lectured by Zhong Tongxin holding her hand.
The reason was that she went running after getting up in the morning, and the breakfast at home was bought by Ziyi from outside: white flour meat buns and meat porridge. Zhong Tongxin scolded her for not knowing how to be frugal, as it would cost a lot of money to buy so much breakfast outside.
Zhong Tongxin: "Yike, you are married now. The first thing you need to do after marriage is to take care of the household and be frugal. You just bought a dowry for your sister, which is a huge sum of money. Your man let you buy it without saying a word. Which man is so generous to help his mother's family? He is willing to pay for it, which means he is good to you. But you can't be spoiled and arrogant. You should save money where you should. So many people are eating breakfast today, you should cook it yourself instead of buying it. How much does it cost? Do you think Ziyi will have any objections? If it were any other man, he would have just spent a large sum of money to buy a dowry for his sister from his mother's family, and now he spends so much money on breakfast. Wouldn't he be angry? What if he settles accounts with you when we, the mother's family, leave?"
"Aunt Zhong, don't worry! Brother Ziyi is not that kind of person." Yike hurriedly explained.
"Not that kind of person? Why do I remember that when we first met, he was reluctant to buy you even a bag of candy?" Liu Baoer added fuel to the fire.
"Is this true?" Zhong Tongxin asked.
"Of course, I even scolded him." Liu Baoer said proudly.
Yike cried out in his heart "Fuck!", he said that intentionally because he saw that Liu Baoer was not attracted by male beauty, he never expected that there would be such a consequence today, he really was "digging a hole for himself".
If Yike had known that Liu Baoer would be her cousin, she would never have said that even if she was beaten to death. Isn't this just discrediting her man in front of her own family?
Yi Ke denied it hastily, hoping to save the man's image in front of his family. However, her future aunt Zhong Tongxin only believed what Liu Baoer said, and didn't believe Yi Ke's words that it was a joke at the time.
Just when Yi Ke was worrying about not being able to explain himself clearly, the real owner arrived.
Ziyi walked in from outside, looked at Zhong Tongxin and Liu Baoer in his room, put his arm around Yike's shoulder, and said to Zhong Tongxin solemnly: "Aunt Zhong, I treat Yike sincerely, not the kind of person who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs. My family members are the same. As long as Yike wants to do something, I will help her do it; as long as Yike wants to eat something, I will do everything I can to get it back for her. Don't say a mere bag of milk candy, even if it's ten or a hundred bags, as long as she asks for it, I will buy it back for her. So please rest assured, I won't treat her badly."
Yi Ke looked at Ziyi with emotion. She knew that Ziyi was not the kind of person who liked to explain. Ziyi always did more than he said.
Zhong Tongxin said awkwardly, "I'm very happy that you can treat Yike sincerely. But this time you helped Sister Yike buy a dowry worth hundreds of yuan, and I'm worried that you won't be able to explain it to your parents when you go home."
"Why should she explain? That's Yi Ke's own money. She can give her sister as much as she wants. Our family has no right to ask. But I want her to use my money, but she won't..."
Zhong Tongxin didn't hear a word Ziyi said afterwards. Her aunt, who was standing at the door and ready to come in to ask questions, also heard the first sentence: "It's her own money. She can buy as much as she wants for her sister." Zhong Tongxin, her aunt, and Liu Baoer who was standing next to them were all stunned.
