Chapter 18: You want to enter my Gao family's gate now? It's not that easy!

On the way back to the siheyuan, Lu Yuan rode a horse, holding Su Liyan in his arms, and said:

「We won't hold the banquet in the city; you know my older brother I also have no relatives in this Huangcheng, the people inside this siheyuan aren't anything fun, and I don't want to invite them. 」

「We'll wait a while, settle down, then go back to the village and properly hold a banquet; it will definitely let you be splendid. 」

Su Liyan not being splendid is actually okay; mainly Lu Yuan needs to be splendid.

No matter what, this is also my first time taking a wife; I must ride a tall horse and wear a big red flower to show off a bit.

Su Liyan, leaning in Lu Yuan's embrace, kept nodding obediently and said:

「I'll listen to older brother~」

As previously said, Su Liyan is certainly not a generous person.

Su Liyan knows that her family's man spends money lavishly; when holding a banquet, the dishes on the table will definitely include good wine and good food.

Doing it this way, how much would one table cost?

Just collecting gift money, can we get it back?

Letting others eat and drink our stuff for no reason—what right do they have?

Su Liyan wouldn't be happy about that.

To be honest, if it weren't for her parents and relatives keeping an eye on things, Su Liyan wouldn't even want to hold a banquet in the village.

Wouldn't it be better to save some money to buy wine and food for her man?

Soon, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan saw the gate of the siheyuan.

Both dismounted, held hands, and walked toward the siheyuan.

At that moment, they happened to see Sun Erniang coming out holding her grandson; originally Sun Erniang didn't dare recognize Lu Yuan, but after looking several times, confirming it was Lu Yuan, she gave a bewildered look and said:

「When did you buy a horse? 」

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

「Just bought it, Auntie, what's up? 」

Sun Erniang gave a bewildered look and said:

「Where did you little brat get the money??? 」

Regarding Sun Erniang's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said:

「I only have thirty-six bucks a month for myself; I don't even have savings to buy a horse?? 」

Sun Erniang's meaning is, you're spending all your money on a horse—how will you get by from now on?

Sun Erniang, who was just about to say something, suddenly saw Su Liyan beside Lu Yuan.

Sun Erniang had indeed seen Su Liyan before.

This??

In a moment, Sun Erniang understood what was going on.

The next second, Pang Kaige turned and ran back to the main compound, calling everyone inside to quickly put down their work and get ready to watch the show!

Tonight there's a show to watch!!

Moreover, it's a big show!!

……

At this moment, in the siheyuan, the Gao family—Gao Tingyu's eyes were red.

These past two days, Gao Tingyu has been unable to stop crying.

Especially yesterday, after the matchmaker returned from Su Liyan's home and said the Su family disagreed, Gao Tingyu didn't sleep all night.

Gao Tingyu really has taken a liking to Su Liyan.

The people in this courtyard really have no idea how beautiful Su Liyan is.

These people only catch a distant glimpse of her outline, a rough appearance.

But Gao Tingyu had observed her up close, just across a table.

Su Liyan is truly extremely beautiful; Gao Tingyu, when he sleeps at night and closes his eyes, sees her image.

These past two days, Gao Tingyu has been both angry and heartbroken.

Gao Tingyu is angry at his own mother, who always is stingy, and chose to be stingy exactly during his matchmaking.

Not even two bucks, and there's nothing left?

Not even those two bucks, that day the two went to get their license, now they're already husband and wife!

Just thinking about having such a beautiful woman as his wife, Gao Tingyu is so happy his nose might run.

But now……

Meanwhile, Gao Xushi, seeing her son like this, exclaimed in frustration:

「Just one Su Liyan, a country bumpkin like you—is it worth it? The matchmaker said yesterday, didn't she? At that time we'll find someone from the city, with conditions a thousand times better than her Su Liyan!! 」

Gao Xushi said that's what she said.

But she also regretted it in her heart.

The day before yesterday, upon seeing Su Liyan, Gao Xushi took a liking to her; she didn't say anything else, just that figure—although it's autumn/winter now and clothes are a bit thicker.

But it doesn't hinder Gao Xushi from being able to see how good Su Liyan's figure is.

Look at Su Liyan's butt—one glance shows she's good for bearing children; in the future she'll at least give birth to ten or eight grandchildren for herself.

Of course, Gao Xushi hasn't thought about who will raise those ten or eight grandchildren.

Moreover, Su Liyan's appearance is truly lively and pretty.

Although older people and younger people have different aesthetics, Gao Xushi also really finds Su Liyan pretty.

Although she's from the countryside, who knows?

How much face would it give to take such a wife out?

And, most importantly, this is a rural person.

This rural bride is easy to handle!

This rural bride is obedient!

When she comes over to marry, won't I have her completely under my control?

I can deal with her however I want?

Unlike a city bride, if I go too far, she might just go back to her parents' house in anger, which would be bad.

So, Gao Xushi is also very satisfied with Su Liyan.

Back then I thought, Su Liyan is from the countryside, easy to fool, so I wanted to save wherever I could.

But who would have thought Su Liyan would just leave like that?

But she's already gone, what can we do?

Or should I, like my son, hide under the covers at night and cry uselessly?

And after Gao Xushi finished speaking, Gao Tingyu could no longer hold back, speaking with a sobbing tone:

"I want Su Liyan."

Gao Xushi looked at her useless son, about to scold him, but suddenly heard a commotion outside the window.

When she pulled back the curtain and looked, Gao Xushi was stunned, then a triumphant smile appeared on her face as she said:

"Don't worry, son, Su Liyan can't escape!!"

Gao Tingyu: "?? Hmm??"

At this moment, Lu Yuan was directing Su Liyan to meet people; basically everyone in the Siheyuan had to come out.

Although the people in this courtyard aren't anything good, we still need to get along on the surface.

Moreover, since these people have come out and are blocking the way, I can't pretend not to see them, so I just take Su Liyan and leave.

Most importantly, we wait for the Gao family to come out.

Lu Yuan isn't afraid at all, anyway we've already gotten married and got the certificate.

At the government office, Su Liyan is also my wife!

Just waiting for Gao Xushi to come out and cause a scene.

"This is the Second Elder of the courtyard."

Lu Yuan stood to the side holding a horse, introducing Su Liyan.

And Su Liyan hurriedly went to the astonished Second Elder's presence and said:

"Greetings, Second Elder."

The Second Elder, still not having recovered, repeatedly nodded and said:

"Eh… eh… good… good…"

Everyone was dumbfounded at this moment.

What the heck is going on???

How did Lu Yuan bring Su Liyan back together?

And according to Lu Yuan's words, these two are married??

They got the certificate??

As everyone stared in shock, the Gao family's door suddenly opened, and then Gao Xushi's somewhat sharp voice sounded:

"Yo, how did you come back on your own??"

"Yesterday I thought about it all day at home, knowing my own condition, and our family's Tingyu's condition too, right?"

"I tell you, now wanting to enter our Gao family's gate is not that easy!!"
