After returning from this trip, I inexplicably attended my own "wedding".

Wenwen thought: It’s okay, just treat it as a reality show.

Looking at the people busy and chaotic over there, she whispered to her boss: "Anyway, this isn't my first wedding, it's my second. You're the one who's at a disadvantage..."

Shen Tulong looked indifferent.

Wen Wen: "I'm actually worried about you. What if they ask about me when you come back next year? ... Then you can just say we had a falling out and have separated and divorced. Actually, I can see they won't do anything to you."

Shen Tulong didn't care and said he would talk about it later.

"The red envelopes they give you count as your personal bonus."

Wen Wen: "Thank you, boss..."

Wenwen had actually figured it out: Shen Tulong didn't come back to his hometown often, so he could hold the wedding today. After all, no one would know each other after leaving the village. He was out here just to fulfill his boss's mission, and he could just go back to his normal life after returning. There was no need to worry too much.

The elders in the family came out and the aunts and uncles found a Xiuhe dress for Wenwen that she wore when she got married. The style was quite generous.

After Wenwen put it on, they put on some simple makeup for her.

"Not bad, not bad. You look prettier with makeup on."

"That's right, girls need to take care of themselves."

It's rare for the elders to praise her.

After all, Wenwen had been married once, so she remained calm throughout the whole process.

Everyone told her to be virtuous, take good care of Shen Tulong, and be more careful to guard against mistresses outside. Wen Wen felt embarrassed when she heard this.

Third Aunt and Sixth Aunt chat privately:

"You said this girl, it's her first wedding. Most people get very excited, some even cry. How come she's so calm? She looks like she doesn't care."

"Of course, they're a fake couple. However, after this wedding, it's set in stone! After this marriage is confirmed, Wenwen will be a live-in wife in our village. We have to lock them up."

I don’t know why, but before people admitted that Wen Wen was Shen Tulong’s wife, everyone was still polite to her.

Once he admitted it, he started finding fault with her as a wife.

The third aunt and the sixth aunt taught her as elders:

"You're a little fat now. You need to lose weight and dress up. As a rich man's wife, I can't embarrass him when I take you out for social events, okay?"

Another person continued, "Also, you must be more diligent in the future. Men like hardworking women when they are looking for wives. If you don't work, they will dislike you."

Wenwen nodded. In fact, she did not agree with the ideas of the older generation, but she did not want to argue with them, so she did not say much.

Another person emphasized: "The most important thing is to have a son as soon as possible! Without a son, you can't tie your man down, and it's easy for things to go wrong later, so your belly must be strong!"

Wenwen really wants to tell them that in today's society, the gender of a child is determined by the man's genes.

But she knew that if she talked too much, they wouldn't listen, so she could only smile and say:

"Okay, I know."

Shen Tulong was very annoyed as he listened to the elders "educating" Wenwen one after another.

While everyone was busy, he walked over to Wenwen.

"I'm sorry you've been wronged. They're too nagging."

Wen Wen waved her hands. "I'm fine. What's going on? They just exchanged a few words. You don't even know how I used to get along with my ex-mother-in-law. Her family was much more powerful than this. This is child's play."

Yes, Wenwen is an experienced person after all. She was bullied badly before, but now she is much calmer than before.

"I used to be constantly criticized by Zheng Hongjie's mother, and I've long since developed an 'indestructible body'."

It's rare that she is much funnier than before.

The marriage customs in my hometown are different from those outside, and there are a lot of customs passed down from the older generations.

For example, one of the steps is jumping over a fire basin.

The brazier was huge, and Wenwen was short with short legs, so she couldn't step over it at all.

Shen Tulong couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and was afraid that she would step into the basin, so he just carried her over.

Seeing this, everyone cheered: "Oh, that's great! You must stay together as a couple, love each other, and support each other!"

Although this practice was not in line with the rules, it was resolved after everyone had a fuss about it.

But the next step was not so easy - Wen Wen needed to boil water on the spot to wash Shen Tulong's feet.

Shen Tulong directly refused, as he felt it was a meaningless formality.

In fact, the original intention of this rule is to remind women to serve their husbands well at home.

Shen Tulong: "My wife doesn't need to do this."

The aunts and elders in the village advised him:

"No, you'd better agree! You have to know that after this, she will slowly climb over the men in the future!"

Shen Tulong smiled and said, "No one has dared to climb over my head yet. You are worrying too much. Forget about this!"

The third aunt and the sixth aunt were still unwilling to give up. As they were talking, someone brought a large basin of ice water from somewhere:

"You can skip washing her feet, but the most important thing is, she must wash the quilt in this basin!"

Wen Wen and Shen Tulong were both shocked:

It's so cold, and there are obviously ice floating in the water. What kind of rule is this?

Shen Tulong frowned. He grew up in the village. Weddings had been held in the village before, but he had never heard of this one.

The three aunts and six aunts smiled and said, "Tu Long, you are young and don't understand. If a woman from another village marries into our village, this item is added in the middle of the marriage. It is to teach the woman to endure hardships and serve her husband! In the past, women washed clothes like this in winter."

Shen Tulong felt that each of these demands was more excessive than the last: "Cancel this part too! Marriage is supposed to be a joyous occasion, and you've made all of this so unpleasant!"

At this time, other elders in the village spoke up:

"Hey, that's the rule in the village! Marriage means women have found support, so of course we have to set rules for them in advance."

The third aunt held Wenwen's hand and said earnestly:

"Do you understand the deep meaning of this? From now on, no matter what happens, whether it's right or wrong, you must listen to your husband."

Wen Wen nodded confusedly. She didn't have much of her own opinion and thought that she just had to agree to what they said.

Shen Tulong interrupted directly: "Don't do these messy things, your good mood has been ruined!"

But the aunts and uncles wouldn't give in: "Everyone went through this, she can't be treated specially! Besides, Tu Long, your mother also went through the same process when she got married. She also came from another village to marry into our village."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, it was like igniting explosives, causing Shen Tulong's suppressed anger to instantly surge up.

His voice was cold. "Don't you think there's something wrong with these rules? My mother used to wash clothes in cold water in the middle of winter because of these broken rules. She suffered all her life!"

He didn't understand why people had to be tortured in this way?

Do women deserve to suffer this?

Why do I have to be suppressed like this even after getting married?

"My mother suffered all her life and never had a good life until her death. Is this the effect you want?"

The other people in the village were stunned at the same time, realizing that Shen Tulong was really angry.

Shen Tulong: "What era is this? Do you still think women have to endure this kind of hardship? Third Aunt, Sixth Aunt, you were also young girls once. You must know how tiring it is to do housework and take care of children at home. Why pass all this pressure on to the next generation?"

"And you, why don't you go out and see the world? Men and women are equal nowadays, so why torture them?"

These words silenced everyone present.

In the end, due to his tough attitude, the quilt washing process was cancelled.

Wen Wen really didn't expect Shen Tulong to be so angry.

I never expected that he would protect me so much.

In fact, she can do all the requests made by the elders just now. She really doesn't care - after all, she is paid to help, so it doesn't matter if she does a little more.

At this time, the third uncle came out to smooth things over:

"I think Tu Long is right. I've figured it out over the years. After all, we live our lives for ourselves. We can't always stick to the old rules... Let's forget about all this mess and don't let the bride suffer so much."
