She was going to call her mother tomorrow, and she was filled with joy.
Zhao Xiaoyu took a carriage to pick up Xiao Lei. She felt very strange. Would Xiao Lei be wearing a red veil and would she have to lead him into the sedan chair?
When they arrived at the gate of their yard, there was a burst of firecrackers. Except for her who was riding in a carriage, everyone else was walking. There were dozens of people in the group, which was quite spectacular.
There were crowds of onlookers on both sides of the road. Everyone was extremely surprised. It had been many years since they had seen such a grand wedding ceremony, especially one where the bride was to marry into the family.
It is outrageous that a scholar marries into another scholar's family. It has never been heard of in several generations.
Zhao Xiaoyu lifted the curtain and found that the onlookers were actually following them. She frowned. They were really idle.
The noise of gongs, drums, and music along the way gave her a headache. Finally, she entered Old Sow Village and found the entire village, young and old, men and women, standing on both sides of the road, having been waiting for her for a long time.
Well, their wedding procession is quite popular.
Yang was also standing in the crowd, looking at the luxurious carriage with hatred.
Xiao Lei was unmoved by any persuasion. This time when he came back, the head of the household looked for him many times, but he either ignored them or had someone chase him away.
The wedding was held on the 2nd of the month, and almost the entire village was invited to the wedding, but their family was not invited. Her son, as Xiao Lei's younger brother, did not get any benefit from it, and was even implicated.
No matter who in the village has contact with their family, not only the villagers but also people from other villages have heard about their family. Every time they propose marriage to their son, the people immediately refuse as soon as they hear about their family, saying that they will not marry into the family of such a wicked person. What is so wicked about them?
The two sons have not yet settled down their marriages. Whenever Xiao Lei makes some achievements or the Zhao family has some happy events, their family becomes the laughing stock of the whole village.
She had had enough, really had had enough. They were all bastards. If the head of the family hadn't refused to leave, she would have wanted to move out of the village and live somewhere else.
The day before yesterday, the Zhao family brought back the dowry, and she saw it. She couldn't believe that they would give so many things to the bride-to-be. Xiao Lei and the Zhao family were so wealthy, but they were so heartless to their own people.
Zhao Dashu treats his own brothers like this, and Xiao Lei treats his own father and brothers like this.
She hated herself for breaking off the relationship with him in a fit of rage. As long as they hadn't broken off the relationship, he wouldn't dare to say anything to them, and he wouldn't dare to refuse them no matter what they wanted.
Yang really wanted to slap herself and Xiao Yi a few times. Her son was right. Their lives were ruined by them. They regretted it so much.
If they could attend the banquet tomorrow, people might think Xiao Lei had forgiven them, and their lives would definitely be much better in the future, but...
Yesterday, the head of the family went to the village chief and clan leader to plead for mercy, but was completely rejected. No one was willing to offend Xiao Lei and Zhao Dashu for them.
The villagers followed Zhao Xiaoyu to the end of the village, except for Xiao Yi and Yang Shi. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with disappointment and loneliness.
The two sons at home don't want to go out at all. Why do they go out when they don't even have the wedding wine to drink? It's embarrassing.
"Boss, I feel bad. We are his family after all. Has he lost his conscience?"
"I'm not feeling well either. I can't do anything about him right now, not even a little bit."
Xiao Yu spoke helplessly, one wrong step led to another. He regretted being too cruel to Xiao Lei in the past, regretted breaking off the relationship, and even more regretted why he didn't just strangle him to death.
Now that they were fully grown, there was nothing they could do to them. No one in the village was willing to speak up for them, and they allowed them to be bullied and even tried to step on them.
"Come home, your son is still home."
"What do you think? If we go to the county government and sue him for being unfilial, is that okay?"
Xiao Yu sighed deeply, "I went to the county town to inquire about it. Once the severance certificate is signed, he and I are no longer father and son."
Yang didn't even have the strength to walk back home. Her son hated her and often said that it was all her fault that the family was in this situation. He blamed her for being harsh towards Xiao Lei and for instigating Xiao Lei to break off the engagement.
Is it wrong for her not wanting her eldest son to compete with her own son for the family property?
The only mistake was that he forgot that Xiao Lei could turn things around.
Yang was extremely discouraged. She didn't know how she could continue to hold on.
