Right now, Chen Mingze only agreed to go to Xie village just to give his grandparents peace of mind. Clenching his fists, he made up his mind not to have anything to do with the Chen family.
Not knowing what her sons were thinking, Wei Zhiying looked out the window and got lost in thought. She didn't know if the Chen family would agree to let them stay.
If they refused, what should she do?
No matter how worried she was, the car continued moving forward and left the capital.
At the same time, the Zhang family and the Liu family were bustling with joy in Xie Village. While the wedding banquet was scheduled for noon, the wedding ceremony and tea ceremony were held in the morning.
At this moment, Zhang Ermu, Li Chenze, and the Lu family were on their way to pick up the bride. They drove a bullock cart and rode bicycles carrying wedding gifts for the bride's family.
When the villagers saw this, one of them said, "This Zhang Ermu is really smart. He knows who to befriend, and now he gets the benefits. Look at that procession— I think in the entire brigade, besides the Li family, no one else could put on this kind of spectacle when picking up a bride, ah!"
"Isn't that so? Liu Piao's father must regret his decision to sever their father-daughter relationship now," another villager said with a sneer.
"He made his choice— now he has no one to blame but himself!"
While the villagers were gossiping, Li Chenze and the Lu brothers were busy sharing wedding candies with the villagers who followed them.
When they arrived at the Liu family's house, Liu Hua and Xiao Li had already been waiting for them at the entrance. Aunt Su waved her hand and greeted them with smiles, "Welcome, everyone!"
Aunt Lin came over and said, "In-laws, sorry for being late. We have made you wait! We are here to pick up the bride."
"It's not too late— it's just right on time!" Aunt Su replied.
The two exchanged a few words and blessings before Aunt Su led them into the house. Inside, the bride and groom performed a kowtow to the parents and served them tea.
After listening to their teachings and receiving red envelopes, the bride finally put on her red veil and followed the groom, leaving her maternal home.
Standing at the entrance, the Liu family members watched them leave with teary eyes.
After sharing some roasted nuts with the villagers and neighbors, Liu Hua and her sisters-in-law went to the Zhang family's house to help with preparations for the wedding banquet. As for her parents, they would go at noon to attend the banquet.
While the bride and groom were resting in their room, Li Lingyun, Li Chenmo, Dong Li, and the children were busy transporting ingredients from Li Chenmo's house to Zhang Ermu's house.
Since they only had one bicycle, they had to carry the ingredients using bamboo baskets and shoulder poles. Heavier items were transported using the bicycle's carts.
