Chapter 41

Wu Guohua felt that his request was perfectly reasonable.

The car was from the military, a collective asset!

It wasn’t just Lu Guanshan’s personal property. It was already generous of him to be able to use it to bring him back. It would be unreasonable for him to have it exclusively for his wedding.

Xiao Zhou wasn’t very familiar with Lu Guanshan, just an acquaintance, and now he cracked a simple, honest smile.

“Well, Captain Wu, I do want to help you, but that day I might not be available. When I came here, Captain Zhao specifically asked me to bring a camera to take pictures of Captain Lu’s wedding ceremony.

Here’s the thing, if you can find someone else who can drive, I’ll let Captain Lu use the car first, and then you can use it for your wedding, okay?”

Wu Guohua couldn’t help but clench his fist!

“Captain Zhao? He asked you to take pictures of Captain Lu? With a camera?!”

Xiao Zhou honestly replied, “Yes, Captain Zhao owes his life to Captain Lu. He entrusted me with his private camera to take pictures as a keepsake. Captain Wu, if you also want pictures, I can go to your place after taking them here! Captain Zhao should be okay with that.”

Wu Guohua felt a pang in his heart!

What was it about Lu Guanshan that was better than him?

Yu Li treated Lu Guanshan so well, always smiling brightly in front of him!

The organization arranged a car for Lu Guanshan, and Captain Zhao even sent a camera for him to take photos…

Was he being looked down upon like this?

Wu Guohua forced a smile, “Alright, on the wedding day, I’ll drive. After Captain Lu is done with the photos, you can come to us and take ours.”

Xiao Zhou nodded with a smile.

He then went to tell Lu Guanshan about the arrangement.

Lu Guanshan didn’t say much.

The wedding car would only be used for a short while. Since the car belonged to the military, logically, it wasn’t a problem for Wu Guohua to use it.

As for the photos, he had no objections either, since it was Xiao Zhou’s decision.

They were all comrades, and it wouldn’t be good to make things too awkward.

As long as Wu Guohua didn’t come over to annoy him and his wife, Lu Guanshan didn’t want to bother with him.

However, Yu Li thought of something: “Wu Guohua can use the car, but his house has no way for the car to get through, right? His mother deliberately made the road very narrow so that no one could pull a cart through their front door. Normally, anyone who passes by gets scolded, and cars can’t get through.”

Xiao Zhou was stunned and quickly went to check at Wu’s house. Sure enough, the road had been deliberately narrowed, and a car couldn’t fit through!

In rural areas, the road in front of a house often reflects significant issues.

Xiao Zhou honestly reported the problem to Wu Guohua.

Wu Guohua was taken aback and then realized that indeed, the road in front of his house was too narrow for a car!

He was embarrassed, and in the end, he had to give up.

Xiao Zhou comforted him, “Captain Wu, don’t worry. Once Captain Lu finishes his wedding ceremony, I’ll come to take some commemorative photos for you!”

Wu Guohua had no choice but to agree with a solemn face.

Soon, the wedding day arrived.

Yu Li and Lu Guanshan both changed into new clothes.

She wore a red bow tie dress with a doll collar shirt and a wavy skirt, which made her black hair and fair skin stand out, looking delicate and beautiful!

She looked like the most beautiful butterfly of the day, landing at the Yu family’s house!

Lu Guanshan wore his military uniform, looking handsome and elegant. The two of them together looked like a perfect couple, with everyone admiring their good looks!

Early in the morning, the Yu family’s firecrackers were going off, the suona was playing enthusiastically, and wedding candy was being scattered!

Big pots were frying fish, boiling meat, and stewing bones, the delicious smells filling the air, making the neighbors, who usually had simple meals, stop in awe!

At first, some people went to Wu’s house, thinking that the Yu family would be too crowded and they wouldn’t be able to get any candy.

But when they got to Wu’s house, they were surprised to find that it was so miserly!

Wu’s house was cold and quiet, with less than three tables of guests.

The wedding candy was given out sparingly, and worse, it wasn’t even very sweet—it had a bitter taste when bitten into!

It was nothing like the Yu family, who not only had various flavors of fruit candy but also crispy candy and milk candy!

Every single one of them was delicious!

Soon, the word spread from person to person, and those who could leave, left.

“Let’s go to Yu Li’s house to eat wedding candy! Wu Guohua’s wedding candy tastes terrible! Pfft!”

“This Wu family is so stingy! Look how lively Yu Li’s wedding is! And her husband is so handsome! Let’s go see! They even got a car for the wedding!”

Wu Guohua went early in the morning to pick up Xia Yuying, who was riding a bicycle. By the time they reached the door, he overheard the intermittent conversations.

Xia Yuying’s eyes were red from anger!

She didn’t get to use a car for her wedding, and not even a tractor. The bicycle Wu Guohua borrowed broke down halfway, and she had been crying with frustration all the way there!

The worst part was that her parents were both dead, and she was getting married alone from a dilapidated house, with no sense of ceremony.

The whole process lacked even the joyful atmosphere of a regular date, let alone a wedding!

Just at the crossroads, they saw Lu Guanshan and Yu Li sitting in the car, driving around the village.

A group of children was running after the car, and Yu Li was smiling brightly, tossing candy.

The children were shouting, “Bride and groom, may you have long happiness! May you have children and daughters soon!”

The atmosphere was so envious!

Xia Yuying was doing her best to hold it in, desperately telling herself, “It’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine!”

Anyway, Yu Li wouldn’t be happy for long.

Soon, Yu Li’s former sister-in-law, Gao Xuelian, would come to cause trouble!

Yu Li’s wedding would definitely be unforgettable for her!

Wu Guohua’s face remained grim. He couldn’t be happy at all.

His mind was buzzing. He had originally thought that leaving Yu Li and being with Xia Yuying would be a dream come true.

But now he realized that he wasn’t happy, and his mind was full of thoughts about Yu Li!

Since Yu family was marrying off a daughter, there was no traditional wedding ceremony.

When they came to fetch the bride, Lu Guanshan gave out a lot of red envelopes. Though the amounts weren’t large, everyone eagerly grabbed them.

Afterward, Lu Guanshan drove Yu Li around the village in the car, and once they got out, they held hands and went to give tea to Yu Jiefang and Chen Ailan, calling them “Mom” and “Dad”!

Xiao Zhou took plenty of photos.

Xiao Zhou couldn’t help but sigh. This wasn’t his first time taking wedding photos, but whenever he took pictures for others, he could never find the right angle. But when he took pictures of Captain Lu and his wife, every angle looked perfect!

He couldn’t stop snapping away!

There were many people from the Yu family who came, and all ten tables were full. The first group of guests had to finish eating before the second group could start their meal.

With so many people, it felt a little chaotic.

Lu Guanshan had discussed this in advance with Yu Tuanjie.

If everything went according to plan, the wedding would go smoothly. But the only potential issue was Gao Xuelian.

She was Yu Tuanjie’s ex-wife, and if she showed up to cause trouble, it would be up to Yu Tuanjie to handle it.

So Yu Tuanjie had been extra cautious today and had asked two people from the village to keep an eye on things.

Sure enough, just as the banquet began, someone reported that Gao Xuelian had arrived and was about to reach the Yu family.

Yu Tuanjie immediately put down what he was doing and rushed out.

Gao Xuelian was storming towards them with a face full of resentment.

Today, she was determined to make trouble at the Yu family and ruin Yu Li’s wedding!

But no one expected Yu Tuanjie to appear suddenly.

Gao Xuelian immediately yelled angrily, “What are you doing? Do you think I don’t know the ugly things your Yu family has done? That Ye Fangfang has already hooked up with you, right? And you… Ah!”

Yu Tuanjie raised his hand and slapped Gao Xuelian to the ground!
