Chapter 616 Bringing a Good Son-in-Law
Two days later, it was Gu Xiaocao's wedding day.
As the host, Tong Huaqiong arrived at Gu Guangkui's house early in the morning.
Sisters from the tribe, including Gu Taohua and Gu Xiaoxue, also came to help.
Gu Guangkui raised his head high, waiting for someone to say that he would have no descendants. His daughter brought him a good son-in-law.
What made him even more satisfied was that Hong Xiaoxi was not after the family property or anything. If that were the case, the Hong family was richer than Gu Guangkui's family. Hong Xiaoxi simply liked his daughter and was willing to marry into the family.
His daughter was able to get this marriage thanks to Tong Huaqiong.
As a widow, Tong Huaqiong was not allowed to touch the bride's things according to custom, but Gu Guangkui and his wife still decided to let Tong Huaqiong help cover Gu Xiaocao's veil.
"Why let Tong Da Jiao cover her head with a veil? Aren't you afraid that your daughter will look like her?" Gu Xiaocao's grandmother, Mrs. Huang, glanced into the room. She was very dissatisfied with Tong Huaqiong holding a red veil in her hand. She came out and started shouting like a loudspeaker.
Gu Guangkui frowned and retorted to my mother: "What are you talking about on such a happy day? I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you just don't want your granddaughter to be well. Sister Tong has a big business and her children are promising. If Gu Xiaocao can live a life like her in the future, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams."
Mrs. Huang raised her voice and said, "Her husband is dead."
As soon as Mrs. Huang finished speaking, Mrs. Gu slid over and knocked her down, cursing, "You are trying to hurt my heart and scold my eldest brother. Aren't you afraid that he will come after you at night to claim your life?"
If Huang Pozi scolded Tong Huaqiong, other old ladies in Gu would applaud. But she could not tolerate others scolding Tong Huaqiong's identity label, because that would also include scolding her short-lived son, which would be an indirect slap in her face.
Can she bear it?
Mrs. Huang got up and started wrestling with Mrs. Gu.
Under the leadership of the village chief, everyone tried to persuade the two men to stop fighting.
In the end, it was Old Lady Gu who won. She tore the new hairstyle that Old Lady Huang had specially arranged for her granddaughter's wedding into a mess, and scratched several cuts on her neck.
Mrs. Huang was unwilling to give up, so she jumped three feet high and rushed towards Old Lady Gu, but was held down by the village chief.
"Stop fighting on such a happy day. When the groom comes, if he sees you like this, it won't just be the Gu family that will be embarrassed, but the entire Qinghe Bay." The village chief scolded harshly.
The two wanted to fight, so Aunt Gu ordered the strong daughters-in-law in the clan to carry the two old ladies away.
There were sounds of firecrackers outside.
The sound of music and drums announced the arrival of the bridegroom.
Everyone was curious. Who would be willing to marry into the family? It would probably be an ugly guy. After seeing Hong Xiaoxi's appearance, they all covered their chests.
How desperate is this kid? He wants to marry into the family.
Tong Huaqiong walked out of the upper room and saw Hong Xiaoxi wearing new clothes with a big red silk flower tied on the chest and baring her teeth.
The Hong family felt it was embarrassing and were unwilling to arrange for Hong Xiaoxi to go out, so Hong Xiaoxi "got married" at Taohua Dessert, and the people who sent her off were the waiters from Taohua Dessert and Fengle Building.
Because Boss Qian saw that Hong Xiaoxi was alone, he adopted Hong Xiaoxi as his godson.
Hong Xiaoxi's godfather, Boss Qian, came to "send her off" in a dark red dress. If you didn't know, you would think he was getting married.
Ma Huateng and his men stood behind him, wearing brand new clothes and looking very imposing. They were there to support Hong Xiaoxi.
Seeing Tong Huaqiong calling out "boss" in unison.
Tong Huaqiong's mouth twitched when she saw a group of energetic young men.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Guangkui is so lucky to have such a good son-in-law."
"I heard he bought a big house in town."
"Xiao Cao doesn't have to serve her mother-in-law anymore. I want to find a husband for my daughter."
Everyone was talking about it and everyone was envious.
Gu Guangkui and his wife's mouths were grinning from ear to ear, while Gu Xiaocao's cousins all had sullen faces.
Those cousins had been brainwashed since childhood, telling themselves that since their uncle had no son, the family property would belong to them in the future. But what happened was that Gu Xiaocao actually found a son-in-law.
The key point is that this son-in-law doesn't look like someone who is easy to bully. He is the owner of Taohua Desserts and has the support of Widow Tong. No one would dare to offend him.
"Hey, auntie, have you seen Gu Xiaocao's belly?"
Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Taohua to keep a close eye on Xu Xinghua, for fear that she would sabotage the wedding of Gu Xiaocao and Hong Xiaoxi.
Originally, one thought was that the slap she gave would make Xu Xinghua afraid to show up at Gu Xiaocao's wedding, but Xu Xinghua just stood in the crowd.
"What, what's the stomach? Hey, Xinghua, why did you run away in the middle of your sentence?"
The woman who was called aunt by Xu Xinghua turned around and found that Xu Xinghua was missing, but she didn't care, because Xu Xinghua's unpredictable temper was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
"The feast has begun."
As the feast began, the villagers who came to contribute rushed to grab seats like hungry wolves.
When Gu Guangkui was looking for a son-in-law, he invited the chef from Fengle Tower to cook the dishes. Tong Huaqiong was the only one in the village who had invited such a chef, and the taste was unforgettable.
After the banquet, the villagers walked home in groups of three or five, holding candies in their pockets, while discussing Gu Xiaocao's marriage.
"Oh, who is lying here without any eyes?"
Aunt Qin and Zhao suddenly stumbled and looked down to see a girl lying on the ground with her hands tied behind her back.
Everyone gathered around.
This dress looks more and more familiar.
Aunt Qin turned the person over and shouted, "Isn't this Xinghua? Why are you lying here?"
Xu Xinghua had her hands tied and a pair of smelly socks stuffed in her mouth. She was sleeping soundly next to a haystack and was unaware of all the discussions around her.
Soon, someone from the Xu family came, and Xu Yong asked for a long time which evil person kidnapped Xu Xinghua.
The villagers shook their heads. Xu Xinghua had a mean and mean mouth. Who knows who she had offended and who was taking revenge on her.
The Xu family couldn't find out the truth, so they took Xu Xinghua away.
After Gu Taohua and the others left, they pulled Gu Xiaoxue to hide behind a haystack and laughed wildly.
At the wedding of Gu Xiaocao and Hong Xiaoxi, the two of them kept staring at Xu Xinghua as instructed by Tong Huaqiong. When they saw her mouth open, they covered Xu Xinghua's mouth and knocked her unconscious, then tied her up and threw her behind the haystack.
Neither of them felt that they had done anything wrong. It was because Xu Xinghua almost scratched Gu Taohua's face when they were young. Now she was leading Gu Xiaoxue into trouble and even tried to spread obscene rumors at Gu Xiaocao's wedding.
Gu Taohua and Gu Xiaoxue returned to the weaving workshop and met Tong Huaqiong. They asked Tong Huaqiong for credit, and Tong Huaqiong gave each of them a hairpin.
"Xiaoxue, did you see Aunt Tang who came that day? She is the concubine who heads the Lian family. She will not let you marry the second son of the Lian family." Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Xiaoxue.
Gu Xiaoxue was now completely relieved.
......
Two days later, Matchmaker Wang came to Qinghe Bay quietly again.
Originally, she didn't want to interfere in Gu Xiaoxue's marriage, for she was afraid that Tong Huaqiong would stop her.
But the amount Mrs. Lian gave was too high.
First I went to Xu's house, and then to Gu's house.
The Xu family still refused to give in to Gu Ruinian's conditions for marrying into the family.
The Gu family immediately agreed to Gu Xiaoxue's marriage to the third son of Lian.
Matchmaker Wang happily stood up and went to the Lian family in Pingchuan County to report.
If the Lian family doesn't object, they can just match the horoscopes and decide on the betrothal gift.
"You must be careful about your first wife, and it's best not to tell even your maids first." Matchmaker Wang warned Gu Youtian, Jia Shi and others before leaving, "Your first wife is vicious. Her daughter can't get married, which will hinder the good marriages of other girls in your family. If she knew that your Xiaoxue married into the Lian family as a young lady and no one came to propose marriage to her daughter, she would definitely do something bad."
Even if Matchmaker Wang didn't mention it, the Gu family's old house would have kept it a secret from Tong Huaqiong.
Especially Jia and Old Lady Gu, they always thought that since Gu Taohua could not get married, Tong Huaqiong would do something bad to Gu Xiaoxue's marriage.
