Chapter 284 Fu Huaiyi Comes to Pick Up the Bride
"Alright, a man has to keep his word, otherwise I'll come and settle the score with you even if my legs swell up from sitting too long."
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely do it."
Well, now that things have come to this point, he's not going to say anything more.
Ye Lian, standing nearby, chuckled and tried to smooth things over, "Lin Gang, you're here for a wedding banquet, what nonsense are you talking about? You and Xiaoxia are both tired, go and rest first."
"Okay, where should we go to rest?"
"Dawei, take them to the room on the right downstairs."
Lin Dawei took the keys. "Let's go."
They bought hard-seat tickets, so they couldn't sleep at all on the train, and now they are exhausted and sleepy.
After eating something quick, the two went to catch up on their sleep.
Fu Huaiyi said, "Father, Mother, let my eldest brother and sister-in-law sleep in my room tonight. I'm going back to my uncle's house, and I'll come to pick you up tomorrow to see Lin Ping."
Fu Huaiyi helped arrange a time for Lin Gang and his wife to arrive before they went to see Lin Ping together.
When Lin Ping saw that all her family members had arrived, she was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears, and she greeted them one by one.
This was the first time Ye Lian had seen Lin Ping dressed so formally, and it was the first time she realized that the youngest little rascal in the family had truly grown up.
"You've finally put your clothes on properly. It seems sending you to military school was the right decision. Otherwise, if we kept you at home, you'd be climbing on the roof every two days and tearing down the tiles every three."
The感动 (feeling of being moved) lasted only three seconds.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm very well-behaved at home, okay?"
"You're still being well-behaved? Fine, whatever, I won't say anything if you're at your school. Are you used to the school food?"
"I'm used to eating here, and it's better than what I eat at home. It's a good mix of meat and vegetables, and it's healthier."
Ye Lian's smile froze. "So you've been neglected at home?"
"It's not that I'm losing out, but it's true that my family only gets to eat meat once a month. But here, I can eat some meat every day."
Ye Lian's smile vanished completely. She snorted coldly and remained silent, pushing Lin Dawei forward.
"You tell me." It's easy to get angry when I talk to him, but I can't get angry here.
Lin Dawei laughed and said, "That's good. We were worried you wouldn't eat well. Your sister's wedding is the day after tomorrow, are you ready?"
"Yes, I remember. I've already asked for leave."
"That's good."
Then Lin Gang stepped forward again, looking at his younger brother's current appearance with great satisfaction.
“Your older brother isn’t as smart as you, and that’s about it for me. Lin Ping, the task of bringing honor to our family falls on your shoulders.”
“Brother, all working people are equally glorious. Without your hard work, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Of the three of us, you’ve worked the hardest, and your contribution is the greatest.”
Ye Lian looked pleased.
I thought to myself that he knew his older brother had worked the hardest, and that he was a good kid.
Of the three kids, the eldest one is the one who has suffered the most.
There was no other way back then. The eldest child was born in an era of famine, and there was nothing to eat from the moment he was born.
She couldn't get enough to eat, and her milk couldn't come in; her eldest child almost starved to death.
Her mother-in-law was truly wicked. She pressured her son to get married, and after the marriage, she pressured her daughter-in-law to have a baby quickly. After the baby was born, she scolded her for giving birth to useless troublemakers who only knew how to eat.
She was not even twenty years old when she gave birth to her eldest child, how could she possibly cope with her wicked mother-in-law?
She even felt guilty after being scolded by her, and cried while hugging her eldest son every day.
Later, when he was a few years older, he started helping with household chores.
He knew that if he didn't finish his chores, his mother would get scolded by his grandmother, so he started helping with chores at home at a young age.
Later, when she had two more children, she helped take care of her younger siblings. By the time they could walk, the older one was already in school, which was too late.
At that time, my mother-in-law was in charge of the household. She complained that studying cost money and interfered with her work, and she was always cursing and complaining. In the end, my eldest son didn't want to come up to work, so he came to work at home.
It wasn't until their grandmother passed away and the family divided their property that they finally started to live a decent life.
The two younger children were luckier than the older one; by the time they were old enough to go to school, the family's financial situation had improved.
The time for meeting with the family was limited, and soon it was time to leave.
After Fu Huaiyi escorted them back to Chenshan Town, he prepared to go back to his uncle's house for the night.
As he was leaving, Ye Lian stopped him and said, "You're getting married the day after tomorrow, so don't come over tomorrow. Just come and pick them up the day after tomorrow."
Fu Huaiyi looked puzzled.
Ye Lian said, "According to our tradition, you two shouldn't see each other for three days before the wedding, but you still came because of something. However, I asked the neighbors downstairs, and they said that you can't see each other the day before the wedding here. We should still follow the rules."
Fu Huaiyi glanced at Lin Yuyao behind Ye Lian and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then I won't come tomorrow."
"Yaoyao, I'll come pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yuyao smiled and agreed.
They temporarily made this place their bride's home, and the bride was sent away from here.
Use your uncle's house to get married, and become the husband's family.
Actually, the house belonging to my uncle's family was left over from the family of Fu Huaiyi's grandmother.
Because Grandpa Fu chose to return to his hometown after retirement and live with his second son, he had told his two sons early on that the house here would go to the eldest son, while the family property in their hometown would be inherited by the second son's family.
The old man's proposed distribution method is only a verbal agreement for now; the property will be transferred after his death.
So neither house has been transferred to the other's name, and this can be considered Fu Huaiyi's hometown.
He lived here when he was a child.
The house that Lin Yuyao is currently renting has been decorated by Ye Lian and her eldest daughter-in-law into a room for a new bride.
The door was decorated with a large red "double happiness" character, and the bedding had also been changed to red.
Of course, the enormous peony on the bedding is also indispensable.
This is a sign of the times.
On the Fu family's side, Fu Huaiyi's room was also converted into a wedding room.
Luo Feng bought the wedding quilt early and changed it, and the red carpet stretched from the villa entrance all the way to the bridal chamber.
This day was set in advance and is auspicious for marriage.
Just as dawn broke, a person in charge of makeup and styling arrived at Lin Yuyao's residence with a wedding dress.
The four young women spent more than an hour going on and on before it was finally over.
It was only a little past seven o'clock.
At roughly the same time, the wedding procession arrived.
A car with a big red flower hanging on its hood was parked in a row downstairs, attracting a lot of onlookers.
The weather is nice today, the sun is shining brightly, and the morning light shines on our faces, making the contours of everyone's faces look like they are plated with a layer of golden light.
"Brother Yi, congratulations! Your efforts over the past year have finally paid off, and you've won the heart of your beauty."
His smile today is brighter than the sunshine.
He was quite pleased with those words, but his smile froze slightly when he saw Lu Jiangting and his family of three in the crowd.
He lowered his head and whispered to Yi Yunshuo, "Brother, I have an important task for you today. Keep an eye on Lu Jiangting's family. I don't want to have any regrets on this joyous occasion. I don't trust anyone else with this task. We'll discuss it afterward..."
Yi Yunshuo interrupted, "You don't need to treat me to a meal. I'll do this for you for free."
"Okay, good brother, I'm going up now."
Originally, I was supposed to accompany him up to pick up the bride, but keeping an eye on Lu Jiangting's family was obviously more important.
