As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence outside the door. Even Zhang Caiyun admired her for asking such a question.

Jiang Zaohua lowered her eyes and drooped her eyelashes. She also wanted to know what his answer would be. It was a common problem for many people who made a fortune to be able to share the joys and sorrows but not the wealth.

The victims are often women and their children. Jiang Muxia doesn't want Li Jiru to be that kind of person, and she can't bear to see Jiang Zaohua suffer.

"Yes." Li Jiru agreed without thinking.

"Good job." There was a sound of applause outside the door.

Jiang Muxia looked at Jiang Zaohua and saw tears in her eyes. He nodded and smiled at her, then his eyes swept over Zhang Caiyun and finally fell on Aunt Chun.

"Silly child, what are you standing there for? Open the door!" Aunt Chun said with a smile.

Aunt Chun was genuinely happy for the two children. They loved each other so much that it was worth her efforts to bring them together.

The door opened with a "whoosh". At this time, the sun was high in the sky, shining on the west wing. Li Jiru, with his back to the sun, was wearing a bright red groom's suit. His tall figure was like a big tree waving in the light. He stared at Jiang Zaohua who was sitting on the bed with burning eyes.

His loving gaze passed through everyone and fell on the girl who was sitting in front of the bed, covering her face with a round fan.

The girl had a thin figure and slender hands, and was exactly the girl of his dreams that he had been thinking about day and night.

The corners of his lips curved wider and he walked into the house.

Li Jiru walked slowly to the bed. Seeing this, Aunt Chun walked forward with a smile on her face, took the other end of the red silk from his hand, and gently put it in Jiang Zaohua's hand.

Aunt Chun said with a smile, "Zaohua, your husband is here to pick you up, go with him!"

Yin Haitang hurried forward to help her up, and followed Li Jiyi into the yard.

Someone outside the house shouted loudly: "The bride and groom are out."

Jiang Zaohua lowered her head slightly and could only see the legs and feet of the man in front of her as she walked into the yard.

Aunt Chun shouted loudly: "Please kneel down and say goodbye to your parents."

Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang sat on the bench in the main courtyard. Aunt Jiang's eyes were red and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Jiang Zaohua and Li Jiru knelt on the mat and kowtowed three times. Jiang Zaohua burst into tears and said loudly: "I am an unfilial daughter who is getting married today. I will not be able to serve you in the future. Please forgive me, parents."

Aunt Jiang went forward to help her up, and the mother and daughter cried together.

Seeing the two crying, Jiang Xinghua was at a loss and pulled Jiang Zaohua, crying together, "Sister, where are you going? Don't leave me, okay? Sister, don't go..."

Aunt Chun and Aunt Jun smiled and stepped forward to pull the three people apart, persuading them: "Today is a big day. The two villages are so close, it's okay to meet every day. Mother Hetian, you've wasted a lot of time, let the child go!"

Aunt Jiang wiped her tears and forced a smile, "Look at me, I'm crying with joy. It's getting late, let's go!"

She turned around and pulled Jiang Xinghua back into the house, then waved her hand with her back to them, telling them to leave quickly.

"The bride is getting into the sedan!" Aunt Chun shouted.

Jiang Zaohua's brother Jiang Hetian carried his sister on his back and walked towards the sedan chair. This honest man remained silent and looked at his little sister quietly, his eyes red. She had finally grown up and was no longer the little girl who followed him and clamored for food.

The cousin who was guarding the door watched her go out. He was about to bend down and pick up the basin beside him to splash water on the road, but was stopped by Jiang Muxia.

"Brother, don't throw it! Even if she gets married, she's still the sister of this family."

The man was stunned, "But, this is the rule..."

"Rules are made by people. You have girls in your family, too. Don't you feel sorry for them? Once they get married, they really become like water spilled on the ground? Do you not care about their life or death?"

The man thought about it, stood up straight, looked at her with an inquiring look, and nodded.

He followed the others to greet his closest friends and relatives, and then got on the ox cart to the Li family in Donggang Village.

People watching the fun on the street praised Jiang Zaohua for marrying into a good family. This grand wedding reception was unique in Xigang Village.

The people got on the bridal sedan, Li Jiru got on the red-draped horse, and Aunt Chun shouted again, "Lift the sedan."

In the crowd, Jiang Muxia caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, who was thinner than before. She opened the curtain of the sedan chair, said a few words to Jiang Zaohua, and left.

She squeezed through the crowd and found Qi. "Grandma, it's so cold. Why did you come out?"

Qi held her hand, looked her up and down, and choked up a little. "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. I heard that you went back to the village. Alas... now that the family is like this, it's not easy for me to go to Zaohua's house to look for you. Let's see if I can meet you by luck. I hope you're safe and sound. I won't delay you. They are still waiting for you. Go!"

"Grandma, please take some time to go to the county and find a man named Fuzi at the Xu's Tavern at the ferry. Tell him that I asked you to find him. He will lead you to me. The New Year is coming soon. Let's have a meal together."

"No need. By the way, where is your second uncle? Do you know? At least you have someone to take care of you as a family. But poor him, he is all alone. I don't know where he has ended up. Will I ever see him again in this life?" After saying this, Qi wiped away her tears.

"Don't worry, grandma. Uncle Er is with us now. No matter how hard it is, we will not let him live on the streets."

"Okay, I'm relieved. You can go quickly!" After saying this, Qi hurriedly left the crowd and went home.

Li Jiru led the sedan chair around Xiyan Village before driving to Donggang Village, and then drove around Donggang Village again before heading to Li's house.

Outside the Li family’s front door, there were big red wedding characters and festive couplets. There was red silk everywhere, and the red carpet on the floor led straight to the main hall.

The bridal sedan landed, firecrackers and drums blared, and in front of the Li family's door, children ran around with their ears covered and flowers scattered. The onlookers were eagerly waiting to see what the fourth son of the Li family's new daughter-in-law looked like.

Li Jiru got off the horse, kicked the door of the sedan chair three times, handed one end of the red silk to her, and Jiang Zaohua covered her face with a fan and then got off the sedan chair.

Jiang Muxia and Yin Haitang helped her up and walked to the courtyard, then stepped over the brazier and entered the main hall.

After the wedding ceremony, she was sent to the bridal chamber, where Jiang Muxia and Yin Haitang stayed with her.

There was still a long time before the guests were seen off, so the three of them stayed in the room with nothing to do.

"Are you hungry? I'll go get some food." Jiang Muxia left the two of them and went to the banquet in front.

"I'll go with you." Seeing her leave, Yin Haitang hurriedly ran after her and disappeared.

Jiang Zaohua was the only one left in the room. She laughed and scolded the two men for being seduced by her beauty and running away without caring about their sisterly love.

When she entered the compound, she saw Tang Zhongbai and Xu Da standing in the crowd. She wondered why these two people came to the Li family's wedding banquet.

The male guests feasted in the front yard, and the female guests in the back yard.

It was inconvenient for the two of them to go directly to the front yard to look for someone, so they had to run to the kitchen to get two plates of snacks and bring them to the bridal chamber.

Jiang Zaohua sat upright on the wedding bed, looking around, scanning the house where she would live in the future, feeling satisfied and happy.

She married the person of her dreams. Her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law are all nice people to get along with. She will be greeted with a stable and smooth life.

Her happy face contrasted with the depressed look of Yin Haitang opposite her. She was sitting in the room, but who knew where her mind was drifting to?

Jiang Muxia raised his hand and waved it in front of her eyes for a long time, but she didn't react at all. "Hehehe, what are you thinking about? Who did you see? You've lost your soul."

Yin Haitang replied subconsciously: "Um, can your family's head marry?"

Jiang Muxia's heart sank. Could she be attracted to Xu Da? Is this girl a masochist? She could be attracted to anyone else, but she chose that unkind guy. She would suffer a lot.

"I advise you not to hit on him. As far as I know, he has someone he likes. Although we don't know if the two of you will have any future, you'd better not hit on him. As the old saying goes, what you can't get is the best. He will always have a place for that girl in his heart. You can't get his complete heart. You will be very miserable."

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? I was just asking casually, I don't like him at all." Yin Haitang dodged her gaze and scolded with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Muxia teased her on purpose, and at the same time wanted to dissuade her from hanging on a tree. "There are many good young men in Xinruo Winery, how about..."

"no need."

Yin Haitang refused decisively. She thought about giving up, but the more she wanted to give up, the more his figure popped into her mind.

She knew that she was doomed and would fall into the hands of this man.
