The crowd immediately cheered, "Marry him! Marry him!"
Li Xiyue also called out, "Sister Xiulan, answer quickly!"
“Yes, Sister Xiulan, hurry up and agree to Uncle’s request,” Xu Xiangyang said.
Gao Xiulan wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I promise you."
"Bravo!" Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd.
Xu Jianmin stood up and hugged Gao Xiulan tightly, exclaiming, "Wife!"
"Yes!" Gao Xiulan responded, tears streaming down her face again. She had waited so long for this word, "daughter-in-law."
All the past hardships and bitterness were swept away by the joy of this moment. In her heart, there was only the joy of overcoming all suffering, nothing else.
Xu Jianmin and Gao Xiulan were both getting on in years, and they had already wasted many years of time. Not wanting to waste any more time, the Xu family immediately brought generous gifts to the Gao family to propose marriage. They also offered the Gao family a dowry of 88 yuan, as well as three turns and one sound.
The Gao family was overjoyed and wept bitterly for their daughter's hard-won happiness.
The village was extremely lively on the wedding day.
Xu Jianmin dressed neatly and smartly, put on new clothes and shoes, rode his bicycle with a big red flower on his chest, and led a group of people to Gaojia Village to pick up his bride in a lively and bustling manner.
When they left, Xu Jianmin personally carried Gao Xiulan into the car, making sure her feet didn't touch the ground.
The people of Gaojia Village were all envious when they saw this.
"The Gao family's youngest daughter actually got married in such a grand manner?"
"Who can argue with that? I never imagined she could marry into such a prestigious family."
"I heard that the Xu family gave a dowry of three turns and one radio and eighty-eight yuan. That must be the first in our entire Hongqi Commune, right?"
"What? Eighty-eight yuan for the bride price, plus three turns and one sound? Tsk tsk tsk, the Xu family is really generous."
"That Xiulan girl is worth so much; she took care of Xu Jianmin for four whole years."
"Yes, yes, we misjudged him before. We never thought Xu Jianmin could stand up again, and Xiulan would have such a glorious day."
Hearing the villagers' discussions, Gao Xiulan's family members stood up straight, their faces full of pride.
For the past four years, their family has been gossiped about in the village because of their daughter, and they have been unable to hold their heads high. Now, they can finally hold their heads high again.
Seeing how well their son-in-law treated their daughter, Gao Xiulan's parents were completely relieved. Their daughter had finally gotten what she wanted and found a good home; all those years of hard work hadn't been in vain.
The Gao family didn't keep the three turns and one ring (referring to a radio, a watch, and a watch), nor the eighty-eight yuan dowry. They gave it all to their daughter to take back to the Xu family as part of her dowry, along with two new quilts.
Xu Jianmin was deeply moved and secretly vowed to treat his wife and her family very well.
At the wedding banquet, Li Xiyue, who had cured Xu Jianmin, was invited to the main table and was toasted by everyone. Fortunately, she had a high alcohol tolerance, otherwise she would have been drunk.
Zhou Yutong, who was sitting at the far end of the table outside the courtyard, was so angry at how much respect Li Xiyue received.
That bitch Li Xiyue is dressed impeccably, with an expensive watch on her wrist that dazzles the eyes. And why is Li Xiyue so popular while she's relegated to some backwater, served only a few simple dishes of radishes and cabbage, without a trace of meat?
Zhou Yunze gave a gift, so why is he being treated differently?
Zhou Yutong couldn't take it anymore and slammed her hand on the table, "Why isn't there any meat at our table?"
