Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

In the blink of an eye, it was July 31st.

Because they were paternal relatives, Wang Yaohua called Wang Dashan, Wang Erhai, and Wang Xiaohua — the three brothers — as well as Zhang Yueran and Li Xiulan, asking them all to go to his place in the county town to help out.

Du Xiaojuan didn't come; she said she would bring the child over tomorrow to eat at the banquet and give the gift money.

Wang Dashan had some complaints about this, but since Wang Yaohua had spoken up, it was still better to come back and help a bit.

Du Xiaojuan, however, felt that Wang Dashan and Wang Yaohua weren't that close — merely paternal cousins — and that Wang Yaohua had previously swindled Wang Dashan, so even refusing to attend this wedding would be perfectly reasonable.

Being able to go at all was already not bad; why help with anything?

Wang Yaohua had set the time for tomorrow morning at six o'clock to depart and fetch the bride, so one day in advance, the bridal chamber and the wedding cars and such all had to be decorated.

Wang Yaohua didn't have enough money to hire a wedding company to handle these things, so he could only ask relatives to come help; additionally, he had Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai drive their cars over to serve as wedding cars, and together with a few other cars from relatives and friends, they barely managed to scrape together enough for a wedding car fleet.

Wang Xiaohua brought Gu Wenqing along to Wang Yaohua's house; after all, leaving her alone in the unfamiliar environment of Shangou Village was clearly inappropriate.

She appeared at Wang Yaohua's house following Wang Xiaohua, and all those relatives and friends of Wang Yaohua's family took her for Wang Xiaohua's wife.

She neither denied it nor explained, only kept smiling and fielded others' questions.

Although Wang Yaohua's house was in the county town, it was a small property rights house in the old city district.

The environment wasn't good, and the house wasn't large — only about eighty square meters.

Fortunately, Li Yuncui's family didn't look down on any of this.

The house Li Zhenxing had bought in the county town before was also a small property rights house in the old city district; later, to pay off debts, he even sold that house.

Coupled with Li Yuncui's past history and the factor of being unable to bear children, Li Zhenxing and Luo Jiaxin, the couple, felt that Li Yuncui being able to marry Wang Yaohua was already marrying above her station.

Naturally, they wouldn't go looking down on anything.

At this moment, Gu Wenqing was in the bridal chamber with Wang Xiaohua and Zhang Yueran, blowing up balloons and pasting double happiness characters.

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan, meanwhile, were in the living room keeping some guests company drinking alcohol.

Both of them were treated as successful people; the guests who came today didn't skimp on flattery, proactively inviting them to drink a few cups.

As for Wang Xiaohua, because he had just graduated and was short in stature, his image seemed somewhat youthful, so he was treated as a student, and no one forced him to drink — he luckily escaped a disaster.

Outside, Wang Yaohua's seven aunts and eight aunts sat at one table, while the drinking men sat at a table with Wang Dashan and Wang Erhai.

At that table of seven aunts and eight aunts, someone suddenly brought up Wang Xiaohua.

"Isn't Xiaohua already married? How come he brought another one back?"

"Maybe he got divorced."

"Don't spread nonsense; he didn't."

"Then what's the story?"

"She's gone."

"Gone? What do you mean?"

"She's just gone!"

That person's voice suddenly dropped very low: "She jumped to her death; you mustn't speak of this in front of Xiaohua, it would make him sad, and it's inauspicious!"

"The current one is so pretty!"

"If you ask me, the original one was prettier!"

"I actually think this one is prettier than the original!"

"Different strokes for different folks, but the one thing that's certain is that Xiaohua is really something — the partners he finds are all top students; I just asked, and this one is a Tsinghua alumna too!"

"With education that high, would she do housework?"

"I doubt it."

"Then who'll do the housework later?"

"Look at you lot, making a fuss over nothing; they'll hire a nanny! Didn't Dashan's family hire a nanny? Dashan, you say, isn't that right?"

Wang Dashan, who was drinking, smiled embarrassedly:

"Yeah, with the kid we really couldn't manage, so we hired one."

"I say you're just being fussy; it's just one kid, how can you not manage? Your mother raised you three brothers all by herself back then!"

"That's not right; if I had as much money as Dashan, I'd hire a nanny too — who doesn't want to take it easy? Dashan, you say, am I right?"

"Hehe, right, right..." Wang Dashan politely echoed.

Meanwhile, Gu Wenqing inside the room, hearing others gossip about her and Wang Xiaohua, couldn't help but blush with shyness.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said:

"Teacher Gu, really sorry, they're just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Gu Wenqing smiled:

"It's fine, let them say whatever they want; I feel this kind of thing probably causes you a lot more trouble than it does me."

Zhang Yueran said with a smile:

"Teacher Gu, you're really broad-minded; if it were me being talked about like this, I'd have to go out and set the record straight."

But Gu Wenqing said:

"Just ignore them; let's hurry up and blow balloons — this wall still needs a heart-shaped balloon wall pasted on it, and we also have to make a balloon arch!"

Zhang Yueran sighed:

"Why is getting married such a hassle?"

Gu Wenqing said in surprise:

"Sister Yueran, you and Brother Erhai got married, didn't you do any of these?"

Zhang Yueran said:

"Didn't do any, just got the certificate, and it was done!"

"So simple!" Gu Wenqing said in surprise.

Zhang Yueran smiled:

"Originally thought, after getting married we'd go on a honeymoon trip and not hold a wedding ceremony, but who would have thought so many accidents happened, so we didn't go on the honeymoon trip either."

Gu Wenqing said:

"Then make it up later, it's the same!"

Zhang Yueran said instead:

"Don't know when that will be later, I'm pregnant, movement is inconvenient, after giving birth we definitely can't think about going out anymore."

Gu Wenqing couldn't help but sympathize:

"That's quite a pity."

Zhang Yueran said instead:

"Nothing to pity about, travel has the happiness of travel, giving birth has the happiness of giving birth, be content and happy!"

Zhang Yueran's mindset was very good, her days were very simple, usually besides going to class to teach, after getting off work and returning home she almost had no flashy consumption or entertainment items at all.

She was like this that it often made Wang Erhai feel he owed her many things.

After helping Wang Yaohua set up the marriage room, it was already past four in the afternoon, Wang Yaohua's home was too narrow, cooking was not convenient either.

So Wang Yaohua spent money to treat the relatives and friends who came to help today, to go outside to eat a meal.

Arriving at a shabby Da Paidang, Wang Yaohua ordered several dishes, everyone finished the rice and dishes.

Then again busy arranging relatives and friends to stay at a nearby hotel.

Wang Xiaohua and Gu Wenqing, as well as Wang Dashan and Li Xiulan, didn't need to arrange accommodation, just go to Zhang Yueran and Wang Erhai's house to stay one night.

At the time of parting, Wang Yaohua suddenly pulled Wang Dashan:

"Cousin, come here, I have something to say to you."

"Cousin, what is it?" Wang Dashan said puzzled.

Wang Yaohua said:

"For tomorrow's wedding banquet, I booked 20 tables, but I don't have enough money on hand, only paid the deposit, I just thought, can you lend me some money, so that after tomorrow's wedding, I can settle the banquet money."

When Wang Yaohua said these words, his face was full of embarrassment.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for real difficulties, who would be willing to open their mouth to borrow money from others at this time.
