Chapter 84: Wedding Part 2

On the other side, Su Benjun pulled Gu Cheng’an to the backyard. “Boss, just like you guessed, those two really went out today while we were gone. But are you sure those two really have a problem?” Su Benjun was very suspicious about this. “I don’t know, we’ll know in a few days. Okay, go back to the educated youth’s house and hang around for a while, then come back for dinner.” He glanced at him disdainfully and left without any hesitation.

Su Benjun, who was left behind, was about to ask a few more questions when he heard, “Shen Ping is a good person. She’s Wanqing’s cousin and now my sister-in-law, so you should think carefully about whether you want to mess with her.” They were both men, and he knew very well about his look at Shen Ping, but he had to remind him. After all, Su’s family had someone who was striving for success. Unlike his family, who didn’t care about this, Su’s family was determined to find a capable person for him, using their power to climb higher. He doubted whether they would agree to let him marry a country girl. “I…” He wanted to say something, but in the end, he opened his mouth and couldn’t find any words to refute. What could he say? That his father would agree, or that his grandmother would agree? Looking up at the birds flying overhead, Su Benjun smiled wryly.

 He couldn’t say anything. Because he wasn’t liked by his father, he naturally didn’t deserve the chance to have true love and a lover. He reached out to grab something, but then looked at the lively scene in the front yard, released his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and swayed as he left his house. Only his departing figure was a little lonely and a little lost. “Wanqing, there are no outsiders now, do you want to go out for a walk?” He said loudly as soon as he entered the door, giving the two sisters a hint. The two sisters, who were talking, stopped their conversation, looked up and said, “No, Grandma told me to stay in the room all day.” “Oh, okay.

 Then you chat with your cousin, I’ll go to the yard and help.” “Okay!” After watching him leave, the two sisters continued their conversation. Time passed slowly, and soon dinner was ready outside, and everyone who was coming to eat arrived. He Wanqing and Gu Cheng’an were pulled out and stood in front of the statue of the great man, listening to the captain repeatedly instruct them, and held the wedding ceremony of the groom’s family.

As the two of them finished the ceremony, Gu Cheng’an took out the money his mother had sent for the change of address and gave it to her, and also gave her the money that He Mother and the others had given him for the change of address to keep. “Good, Jiang Zhiqing is aware. He knows to give the money to his wife to manage.” Wang Ping, who was helping with the cooking, clapped her hands with a smile. He Wanqing, who felt a little embarrassed by her words, smiled and called out, “Second Aunt,” before pulling Gu Cheng’an to sit down at the table.

 Seeing that everyone was seated, the captain, who was standing there to witness the wedding, said a few more words of encouragement, and then dinner began. He Wanqing, who had been holding back all day, finally got to eat at the table. She happily ate the dishes and whispered to Shen Ping until she toasted the elders, and then they stopped talking. There were only three tables of people for dinner, and they ate quickly. Shen You and the others washed the bowls and chopsticks, took away their belongings, helped them take the tables back, and waved goodbye after letting them go back to their room. Standing at the door, watching their figures disappear, she turned around and said, “Let’s go home.”

“Okay!” He nodded to Su Benjun, who was standing beside him, turned around and followed her into the courtyard, and closed the door from the inside. Watching her go into the kitchen, Gu Cheng’an quickly stepped forward. “I’ll clean up the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen later. There’s hot water in the water bottle, go wash up first!” He Wanqing, who was about to go to the kitchen to boil water, stopped and looked at him. Seeing him say it again, she turned around and went back to the room to get the water bottle to wash up. Watching her leave, Gu Cheng’an, who had already reached the outer kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and began to clean up. Twenty minutes later, he had tidied up the kitchen.

 Seeing that she hadn’t finished washing yet, he took a bucket, went to the water tank to fetch a bucket of water, and went straight to the temporary shed in the backyard to wash up. He Wanqing, who had just finished washing, opened her mouth to swallow the words she hadn’t had time to say. Okay, a cold shower in this weather wouldn’t cause a cold. Looking at the wooden bucket in the bathroom behind her, and then at the dirty clothes in her hand, she instantly decided to talk about it tomorrow. For now, she would go back to the room.

 She wiped her wet hair with a towel and quickly walked back to the room. She glanced around and went straight to the big kang that attracted her. She stopped just before the kang, turned a corner, and went to the dowry box. She took out the key, opened the lock on the big box, took out the rosewood box that her mother had solemnly instructed her to keep, and placed it on the kang. She went back to close the big box, and before she could open the rosewood box, the person who had gone to the backyard to take a cold shower came back. “Wanqing, what are you doing with this?” He knew it was her dowry, but he didn’t need to open it now, did he? ??? “You’re done washing?” He looked at his dripping hair, then turned to look at the quilt spread on the kang, a little worried.

 “Yeah, I’m done.” He automatically ignored the expression in her eyes, his hands didn’t stop, and in a few moves, he wiped the water off his hair with a towel. He hung the towel on the washstand. “It’s already dry, it won’t get the quilt wet.” He said, walking to her, bending down and bringing his head to her face so she could see. She raised her eyes and looked at his crew cut. “I know, come up and rest.” She moved aside to let him get on the kang, and her own hands opened the rosewood box. Just one glance, and she closed the box again.

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?” Gu Cheng’an, who hadn’t had time to look, asked with concern, seeing that her expression was wrong. “It’s nothing, you open it and see for yourself.” She held the box to the middle of them and motioned for him to open it with her eyes. Seeing that she didn’t seem to be lying, Gu Cheng’an reached out and opened the box with a swipe. He Wanqing, who had already seen it once, was still blinded by the light. All she saw was a dazzling golden light, and the few large black stones on either side were completely ignored. “This…” Gu Cheng’an was surprised by the golden light. He thought that the dowry money was just money, but he didn’t expect it to be gold bars and silver ingots, as well as many jade and gemstone jewelry.

 These were much more valuable than what her mother had sent. He opened his eyes wide and looked at his wife, who was just as surprised as he was. Gu Cheng’an didn’t say what he was thinking in his heart, but he cautiously asked, “Why don’t we return it tomorrow?” After all, there were two brothers-in-law, they couldn’t take their wives’ dowries. She shook her head, her mood had recovered, and she remembered Shen Grandpa’s wealth and what her grandma had said that day. “You really don’t need to return it?” Gu Cheng’an asked again, still not giving up. “

Yeah, my Grandpa was a big landlord before, he came here during the war. My grandma’s family used to be officials, and my grandma’s mother’s family seems to have been officials too. She didn’t say much about it, but she and Grandma were close friends, so they should be from the same circle. Since they gave us these things, we should keep them. Just be more filial in the future.”
