Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua finished fixing his hair and returned to the villa side, finding it already decorated almost completely.

Wang Erhai and Wang Dashan were discussing tomorrow's bridal escort arrangements.

"Big Brother, you're going to the bridal escort by yourself tomorrow? What about the best man group and the relatives group?"

Wang Erhai looked utterly incredulous.

He knew Wang Dashan was low-key, but he never expected him to be low-key to this extent.

"No need, I'll go by myself."

Wang Dashan said so.

Wang Erhai, however, said:

"That won't do. At least six or seven people should go together. If you can't find anyone, I'll have the wedding company help find a few just to make up the numbers. Also, the motorcade needs at least eight vehicles or more; that's more auspicious."

Wang Dashan smiled:

"Really no need. This is Xiao Juan's request."

Wang Erhai didn't understand:

"Big Sister-in-law tells you to do something and you just do it? How face-losing is that. Aren't you the one who cares most about face? Besides, if Big Sister-in-law's family sees you being so perfunctory and has opinions about you, what will you do then?"

Wang Dashan didn't know how to explain for a moment.

He was speechless.

Wang Erhai then said:

"How about this: let Third Brother and your cousin accompany you."

Wang Yaohua had also returned, and Wang Erhai specifically called him over to be a member of the best man group.

Wang Yaohua gave him some face and agreed.

Wang Dashan thought it over. He actually felt that going alone for the bridal escort was a bit too perfunctory.

So he finally said:

"Fine then. Let Third Brother go with me. Yaohua can stay on the County Town side."

Wang Xiaohua asked at this time:

"Big Brother, when you were in the army, didn't you meet quite a few comrades-in-arms? Didn't you invite them to be your best men?"

Wang Dashan smiled: "I invited several over for a meal, but didn't ask them to be best men. Actually, I wanted to do it properly, but Xiao Juan said to keep it low-key."

Wang Xiaohua asked again:

"Then when do we set off?"

Wang Dashan said:

"Set off at four in the morning, and arrive at Xiao Juan's hometown around eight."

Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan learned that Wang Dashan was going alone for the bridal escort, and they also hurried over to persuade him.

"Dashan, how can you go alone for the bridal escort?" Li Xiulan asked with concern.

"This is simply nonsense. Marriage is such a big thing; how can you be so perfunctory? How will the girl's family look at you?" Even Wang Zhanggen felt Wang Dashan was too casual.

Wang Dashan smiled wryly:

"Mom and Dad, I have my own plans. I'm not going alone; I'm letting Xiaohua go with me."

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"I don't mind if you want to save money. But if the girl's family has opinions about you later and trouble arises, don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Wang Dashan smiled wryly. This conflict wasn't something for later; it already existed now.

Wang Erhai asked at this time:

"How many people are coming from Big Sister-in-law's side?"

Wang Dashan answered honestly:

"As I said before, not many. Just Xiao Juan, Xiao Juan's parents, and her younger brother."

Wang Erhai said:

"One car can't fit them all. We need to send another car. Also, the groom driving himself doesn't seem to follow the rules."

Wang Dashan hadn't thought that much. He just wanted to go pick up Du Xiaojuan and her parents and younger brother.

Wang Erhai said:

"How about this: I'll have the wedding company provide two cars and two drivers. Then Big Brother and Third Brother go together. How about that?"

Wang Dashan was somewhat unwilling in his heart, but he couldn't refuse anymore.

After all, Wang Erhai was acting out of goodwill.

So when four in the morning of the next day arrived, Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaohua set off together in the wedding company's car.

From this small county town to Du Xiaojuan's hometown, according to the navigation prediction, it would take over four hours.

"Big Brother, why do I feel that this time your and Big Sister-in-law's wedding is somewhat unusual."

On the road, Wang Xiaohua suddenly asked this.

He had already sensed something was off.

"Unusual how?"

Wang Dashan narrowed his eyes, wanting to sleep for a while. He had been busy here and there yesterday and was quite tired.

"This isn't your style."

Wang Xiaohua said.

Wang Dashan laughed:

"It was your Eldest Sister-in-law who had me do this."

Wang Xiaohua asked:

"Why would your Eldest Sister-in-law want you to do this? Logically, she should want to make the wedding ceremony better."

Wang Dashan sighed:

"It's a long story; it doesn't matter if I don't say it. In short, your Eldest Sister-in-law did this for my own good. I'll sleep for a while; let's not talk about it anymore."

Two wedding cars drove along the pitch-black road.

They traveled from night into day, the sun gradually rising from the east.

The cold weather, under the sunlight, began to feel somewhat warm.

The wedding cars arrived at Du Xiaojuan's hometown.

They found that at Du Xiaojuan's door, some festive red paper had simply been put up; besides that, there were no excessive decorations.

Wang Dashan sent Du Xiaojuan a message, telling her he had come for the bridal escort.

Du Xiaojuan quickly replied with a message, telling him to come in.

Wang Dashan and Wang Xiaohua got out of the car and went in together for the bridal escort.

The room where Du Xiaojuan was to be married was on the first floor, a bedroom inside the living room.

Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi, the two elders, accompanied her inside the room.

Du Jiabao came alone to welcome them.

This bridal escort was surprisingly smooth.

There were no bad habits like blocking the door.

Du Jiabao didn't even ask Wang Dashan for a red envelope.

Because he had long heard his parents say that this brother-in-law of theirs, for this marriage, had borrowed the bride price money through online loans and was already dirt poor.

Although Du Jiabao was quite carefree, he still wasn't so lacking in virtue as to continue making things difficult for Wang Dashan.

Surprisingly smooth, and surprisingly cold, they just went to get Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan wore a wrinkled red dress with a boutonniere pinned on, which counted as her wedding dress formal wear.

Seeing his Eldest Sister-in-law in such plain attire, Wang Xiaohua was also surprised.

Because he still remembered that his Eldest Sister-in-law was the founder of Xiao Du Technology; she had at least tens of millions in savings, or probably several million.

As a result, her own wedding was made so shabby, and according to what Eldest Brother said, it was even her own requirement to do it this way.

Even someone as clever as Wang Xiaohua couldn't figure it out.

But he couldn't ask too much.

He only felt that his Eldest Sister-in-law arranging it this way probably had her own reasons.

Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi accompanied Du Xiaojuan out the door; seeing only two wedding cars had come, they weren't surprised either, and even felt Wang Dashan was thoughtful.

Owing a mountain of debt, yet still willing to cut flesh to rent wedding cars for the bridal escort, could be considered very sincere.

Wang Dashan arranged for Du Guoqing, Lin Xiudi, and Du Jiabao to sit in the car behind, while he, Du Xiaojuan, and Wang Xiaohua sat in the front car.

After everyone got in the car, the wedding cars started back.

This bridal escort ceremony could be called extremely plain.

Not even firecrackers were set off, making it seem secretive.

And in fact, Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi just wanted to secretly send their daughter off in marriage.

They were afraid of making too big a scene and losing face for their own family.

After all, their own daughter had married a man who had to borrow even the bride price; such an incapable man becoming Du Family's son-in-law, if word got out, they would probably be laughed at by the whole village.

So for this matter, they didn't even notify relatives and friends, nor did they tell the villagers.

It just proceeded secretly like this.
