Chapter 627 Breaking News
On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Ruinian and Wu Na got married.
The old house of the Gu family was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and the door and fence were covered with wedding characters.
It had just snowed in Qinghe Bay, and the word "happiness" looked particularly festive against the white snow.
This is the first happy event after Grandpa Gu Youtian and others returned to Qinghe Bay.
Grandpa Gu was relieved for a rare time when his grandson, who had been placed with high hopes but had fallen to the bottom of the mountain, got married. He was so happy that he notified the whole village to come to the banquet, even Xu Xinghua's parents' family were notified.
As for whether to come or not, it was not something that Mr. Gu considered. His main purpose was to disgust the Xu family.
This happy event was a grand occasion.
In order to save face in front of the villagers, Gu Youtian made his son's wedding a grand and sumptuous one, thinking that he had the 500 taels of silver his daughter-in-law would bring as a subsidy.
I made an appointment early to have the chef from Fenglelou come to my house to cook.
Meat and vegetables were carried to the yard of the old house like a stream of water. Tables, chairs and benches were borrowed from all over the village and spread out in the yard in rows. Even tables were placed on the road at the door of the corridor inside the house.
In addition to the villagers of Qinghewan, relatives from both Jia's family and Old Lady Gu's family came.
When Tong Huaqiong, Gu Taohua and others arrived, they saw many unfamiliar relatives chattering.
As the aunt, Tong Huaqiong was naturally invited to attend the wedding of the two.
At this wedding, she gave the newlyweds a quilt cover made in her own weaving workshop and one or two taels of silver as a gift.
Maner, Xiaolong, Yaozu and other children followed them to the old house for the banquet. Looking at the sumptuous banquet, they were determined to eat back the 1 or 2 taels of silver.
The old house was bustling with activity, and everyone was in high spirits. Grandpa Gu and others were wearing new clothes and looked very happy.
The happiest person was Jia. She put on makeup, made her hair shiny and sleek, and was so busy that she never had time to rest. She smiled at everyone she met.
Maybe it was because his son had found a good marriage partner. Seeing Tong Huaqiong enthusiastically calling her sister-in-law, he asked why Gu Jingzhe didn't come along.
Tong Huaqiong said that Gu Jingzhe was studying hard at Wanliu Academy to prepare for next year's imperial examination, and Jia's face froze.
Tong Huaqiong thought, if she doesn't come, you ask her, and she will be unhappy if I ask.
It's so hard to please!
"Auntie, you're here."
Wei and Gu Xiaoxue changed into new clothes and went out to attract customers.
Tong Huaqiong was warmly invited into the house by Wei. Gu Xiaoxue stuffed a hand warmer into Tong Huaqiong's pocket and said with a smile, "Only Auntie has it."
Old Mrs. Gu opened her arms and waved them around, excitedly telling her relatives from her natal family about Gu Ruinian's good marriage.
When he saw Tong Huaqiong coming in, he stopped with a click.
Mrs. Gu's sister, Mrs. Yang, looked Tong Huaqiong up and down. She looked younger and prettier than Mrs. Jia for her nephew's wedding. She was not happy and sneered, "My nephew's wife is here. I can't recognize her with all her elegance. Your mother-in-law is living a hard life here. She doesn't even have a decent piece of jewelry for her grandson's wedding. But you have the jewelry on your head and wrists that are neatly decorated."
Tong Huaqiong narrowed her eyes and couldn't help asking, "Who are you? Old woman, you live by the sea, why are you meddling in other people's affairs?"
Old Madam Yang choked and wanted to say something, but the old lady with silver hair beside her interrupted, "I think my nephew's wife looks good like this. She is the boss and should dress like this. How can she dress so shabby that people under her will complain that the boss is not making enough money? What's the point of working for her?"
The old lady with silver hair was the elder sister-in-law of old lady Gu, old lady Ding. Tong Huaqiong smiled at old lady Ding in a friendly way and said, "Hello, aunt."
Old Mrs. Gu didn't dare to act rashly in front of her sister-in-law and continued to talk about the marriage between Gu Ruinian and Wu Na.
"...When you meet the daughter of the Zheng family in Heilongtan, you will know that she can give birth to a son. If you get married in winter, you will have a baby boy in the family next year."
"The girl of the head of the village was spoiled since she was a child, so she has a little temper. But she is sincere to Ruinian and did not ask for a penny of betrothal gift. Her family gave her ten acres of good land and five hundred taels of silver as a dowry. I don't know what luck Ruinian had, but the girl of the head of the village is willing to marry into our Gu family."
......
Old Mrs. Gu has repeated these words to the villagers countless times.
While her own family and Jia's family were around, she chewed it over again.
The tone was full of boasting.
When Mrs. Ding heard that the bride was the daughter of the head of Heilongtan Village and did not ask for a dowry, she couldn't help but think too much and asked, "A girl who doesn't want a dowry, I'm afraid she has some hidden illness that can't make her marry?"
She just met Gu Ruinian. He is good-looking, but he has a lame leg. Which girl would be willing to pay for him?
Unless you are blind.
Old Mrs. Gu clapped her hands and said, "Sister-in-law, don't overthink it. There is no hidden disease. If there is any deficiency, it is just a dark spot on the skin, which is not a serious problem."
Jia was very dissatisfied when she heard what Old Lady Ding said. Her son Ruinian was a student, so why couldn't he marry the daughter of the head of the village?
If it weren't for his lame leg, someone like Gu Jingzhe's fiancée Lu Zhaozhao would be a more suitable match.
"Aunt, you will know when you see me later. There is nothing wrong with my wife." Jia said with an unhappy tone, "My Ruinian is so capable that he can attract the girl from the head of the village to come to him."
Old Mrs. Ding still didn't understand.
She had always disliked Gu Youtian and his wife, and preferred Old Man Gu and Tong Da Jiao. She had repeatedly advised Old Lady Gu to be nicer to the eldest wife's family, but Old Lady Gu refused to listen. People said that her eldest nephew's wife was now prosperous, but she didn't believe it. This time when she came to the village, she saw that she was indeed prosperous.
The boss’s weaving workshop is already dazzling, and I heard that pastry shops and department stores have opened in the capital.
Looking at Gu Youtian and his wife again, they found that their son didn't even have a new house to live in when he got married. It was inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.
Therefore, she did not like what Jia said, and replied in a gloomy tone: "I just saw Ruinian, but I didn't see how capable he was. Don't be afraid that I will think too much. You haven't repaired the house for the wedding, and the furniture in the house hasn't been made. How can I believe that the girl from the head of the village will be willing to marry into your family? Don't you lie to the girl?"
Jia was so angry that she almost died.
This cheap aunt, relying on her age and seniority, can speak in a way that touches people's hearts since she was young.
What's the matter? You look down on her Ruinian, right? Even if you look down on him, he is still the son-in-law of the village head.
Jia was provoked by Mrs. Ding and said, "My Ruinian was able to seduce the girl from the head of the village and made her pregnant before she even married. Aunt, wouldn't you be jealous that my Ruinian not only got a daughter-in-law for free without spending a penny, but also got ten acres of good land and five hundred taels of silver? Wouldn't your grandson also want to find such a good marriage? Don't you think your grandson has this blessing?"
Before Jia finished her words, the room fell silent.
Such explosive news was spoken out so bluntly.
Old Mrs. Ding's eyes widened with surprise. Oh my God, she said that Gu Ruinian had cheated on the girl, and it turned out to be true.
The villagers winked at each other.
Old Mrs. Gu boasted around the village that her daughter was paying homage to Gu Ruinian. Everyone guessed that there must be something fishy going on, and many people suspected that Gu Ruinian had made Wu Na pregnant.
But there is no stone hammer.
This time, Jia had completely proven that her daughter-in-law, who had not yet married into the family, was pregnant.
