I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Erhua and A Ping are getting married!

Li Yujiao felt that since every household would be eating at home on the day of the Little New Year's Eve, the store would not have much business, so she gave everyone two days off and went to Aping's house to attend the wedding banquet.

Several generations of Aping's family have been carpenters and are considered wealthy in the village. Wang Erhua has been working as a farmhand for Li Yujiao these days and has some savings, so their wedding ceremony was very elaborate and they invited twenty tables for the wedding banquet.

A Ping even borrowed Li Yujiao's ox cart to pick up the bride.

"The bride has arrived!"

At the sound of a gong, adults and children all rushed outside to see the bride.

Li Yujiao also ran out.

Jing Qishan, who was standing by, saw her go out and hurriedly followed her.

Today he has been following Li Yujiao wherever she goes.

The person driving the carriage was Jing Qizhi, and a newlywed couple was sitting in the back.

The groom wore a red hat and a big red flower ball tied around his waist. The bride wore red and a red veil on her head.

The village's ceremonial guard followed alongside, some beating gongs and some playing suona.

When they arrived in front of the house, the groom squatted down and carried the bride on his back.

The children clapped their hands and sang the village ballad: "Come and welcome the bride, welcome the bride, the firecrackers are ringing, men, women, old and young are all here to see, talking and laughing, full of joy..."

The sound of firecrackers also rang out at this time.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, Aping carried Wang Erhua into the front hall used for worship.

Next comes the worship ceremony.

Li Yujiao was smiling from beginning to end, and her mouth never closed.

Although she and Wang Erhua had a conflict in the beginning and almost became enemies, Wang Erhua later protected her everywhere and treated the noodle shop's affairs as her own. They also spent every day together and became good partners.

Seeing that Wang Erhua finally found a good home, she was naturally happy for Wang Erhua.

Jing Qishan, who was standing by, couldn't help but think deeply when he saw Li Yujiao so happy.

During the banquet, Jing Qishan kept looking at Li Yujiao.

During this period of time, he liked to stare at her in any occasion, with a passionate and bold gaze.

As if he was going to eat her at any time.

She felt very uncomfortable at first, but after being stared at so many times, she got used to it.

So Li Yujiao just ate her meal by herself.

The village’s wedding banquets also have many special dishes, such as sweet and sour rice noodles that symbolize longevity.

Li Yujiao was eating rice noodles when she heard Jing Qishan say, "How about we have a new wedding?"

Li Yujiao almost choked on the rice noodles.

"Uh..." She quickly bit off the rice noodles.

He also quickly patted her back.

The movements were as skillful as those of an old couple.

It took Li Yujiao a while to recover. She patted her chest and said, "Is this not necessary?"

Re-holding the wedding would be so embarrassing and the process would be so cumbersome, she had no intention of doing so at all.

When Jing Qishan saw her reaction, he looked a little disappointed again.

He knew this was the result.

She wasn't in love with him at all, so why would she care about these etiquettes?

But Jing Qishan said again after a while: "I just saw that you envied other people's weddings, but when you married me, I was still paralyzed. But I promise you, one day, I will give you a wedding that will make a sensation in the whole city and everyone will know about it."

Li Yujiao: “…”

If other men said this, she would think he was just empty talk.

But since these words came from Jing Qishan's mouth, she had to believe it.

If there really came a day when he became a treacherous minister that everyone hated, then wouldn't she be the wife of a treacherous minister that everyone hated?

She quickly said, "No, no, I don't care about these things. I just hope that everyone can live a peaceful and simple life until old age!"

After hearing her words, Jing Qishan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Live a peaceful and simple life until old age... This is what he failed to achieve in his previous life.

Maybe I can change the way I live my life?

……

Halfway through the banquet, the young men from the village began to toast the groom.

I heard that this is a tradition in the village, to tease the groom at the banquet.

As for why they didn’t tease the bride, it might be because the bride had been sent to the bridal chamber.

"A Ping, you must drink this bowl of wine. Only after drinking this bowl of wine can you be as fierce as a wolf or a tiger on your wedding night."

"If you want your guests to drink well, you have to drink well first!"

"..."

Although this wine is homemade rice wine in the village and the alcohol content is not high, it is not a good idea to drink it like this all the time.

Those who have a good relationship with Aping will go and help block the drinking.

Wang Erhua had also mentioned this to them in the noodle shop before the wedding, asking Jing Qishan and Jing Qizhi to protect A Ping so that he would not get drunk unconscious on the wedding night.

Now Jing Qizhi has gone to help block the wine, but Jing Qishan has not moved yet.

Li Yujiao did not urge him either. Jing Qishan had just recovered from a serious illness, so it would be better for him not to drink.

However, when Jing Qishan had almost finished eating, he also picked up the wine bowl to help block the wine.

It was not known whether he was a good drinker or not. Li Yujiao saw that he drank very heartily, usually finishing one bowl of wine.

Seeing that he was drinking happily, Li Yujiao went to the bride's room.

There were two aunties guarding the door of the bridal chamber. They would not let the groom in until the auspicious time, nor would they allow other men to enter.

But Li Yujiao can do it, after all, Li Yujiao is Wang Erhua's boss.

"Oh, the boss is here, come in and talk to Erhua." said the aunt.

Li Yujiao walked in and saw Wang Erhua sitting on the bed with a veil on her head, but she was moving her hands. When she heard someone coming, she sat up straight.

"Sister Jiao, is that you?" Wang Erhua seemed to have something in her mouth.

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "It's me, are you eating secretly?"

Wang Erhua breathed a sigh of relief, then said aggrievedly, "I haven't eaten much since this morning. The matchmaker and the aunts said that eating would ruin my makeup, so they forbade me to eat. I told Ah Ping that he would bring me something to eat when he came in, but I don't know when he will come in."

Li Yujiao smiled and said, "He can't leave for a while. Wait, I'll go out and bring you something."

Wang Erhua finally ate the fried buns that Li Yujiao secretly brought in.

When eating, the veil was not taken off, and Li Yujiao could only see the lower half of Wang Erhua's face chewing the steamed bun. It was very funny, and Li Yujiao couldn't help laughing.

Then she thought again that she didn't want such a wedding as it was too tiring and stressful.

After Wang Erhua had filled her stomach, she felt much better and pulled Li Yujiao aside to talk: "Alas, when I couldn't get married before, I always wanted to get married earlier. Now that I can finally get married, I am worried that I won't be able to get along well with my husband's mother-in-law and sisters-in-law in the future. Tell me, what if I can't give birth to a son?

Do you know Liu Zhen from our village? She gave birth to ten daughters in a row. If I can’t give birth to a son, I don’t know how many more I will have…”

Li Yujiao listened to Wang Erhua's various concerns and thought to herself: Erhua, do you know that what you said will make me afraid of marriage and having children?
