Li smiled awkwardly when she heard this, "I didn't expect everyone to come. However, we didn't hold a wedding again. After all, my father-in-law has only been gone for less than two years."

"Dazhi family, we understand what you said, but Zeger's mother helped our village a lot when she was alive. We all remember this kindness. Since Zeger is getting married, we thought we should come to congratulate her even if we can't hold the wedding." Village chief Liu Zheng laughed.

"Yes, in the blink of an eye, Ze Ge'er has grown up so much." The woman next to him agreed, and then stepped aside. Liu Yong pushed a strong man in front of Li.

The man was none other than the other protagonist of the marriage, Ling Chuan.

Ling Chuan is tall and strong, more than 1.9 meters tall. His cold eyes and taciturnity make him look imposing and a little fierce.

To be honest, someone like him would stand out no matter where he stands in the crowd.

"I'm here to pick up Ze Ge'er." Ling Chuan said expressionlessly.

He was so straightforward that others thought he was anxious to betray his husband, so they started teasing him again.

At this time, Liu Dazhi, Liu Baolian, and an old woman also came out.

The old woman had triangular eyes and protruding cheekbones, and at first glance she looked like a mean-spirited person. She was Liu Dazhi's mother, Yu.

Except for Li and Yu who took the money, no one else in the Liu family liked Lingchuan, especially Liu Dazhi.

But he couldn't show his displeasure in front of so many people. He said, "Ze'er accidentally bumped into something the day before yesterday. Come with me to his room and carry him."

As soon as Liu Dazhi finished speaking, the scene fell silent, and some people's expressions were even weird, because everyone in the village knew that when Lingchuan's biological mother was alive, she had arranged a marriage for him, but unfortunately the other party was in poor health and died before he even got married.

This...can't it really be a bad omen?

Thinking of this, someone really quietly moved away, putting some distance between himself and Lingchuan.

Ling Chuan ignored it and said in a deep and magnetic voice: "I'll go pick him up."

After hearing this, Liu Dazhi walked inside, and Ling Chuan followed him.

"Brother Ze is inside." Liu Dazhi said with a stern face standing at the door.

Ling Chuan nodded to show that he understood, but he never called Liu Dazhi "father-in-law" from beginning to end.

This made Liu Dazhi feel very uncomfortable, and he looked down on him even more. He snorted coldly, "You go in by yourself."

Just leaving after saying that shows that you are very unwelcome.

Ling Chuan glanced at his back calmly and walked in without saying anything.

Xia Mo had heard the noise outside the door a long time ago and knew that the other party was about to come in. He would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous.

He stared toward the door.

The next moment, a tall and stern man appeared in front of him.

Xia Mo blinked. Is this his new bride?

The man was tall, mighty and imposing, with facial features that looked like they were carved by an axe. He looked a little fierce, but very manly.

While Xia Mo was looking at Ling Chuan, Ling Chuan was also looking at him.

Their eyes met for a few moments, and Xia Mo immediately lowered his eyebrows.

He has always liked men, especially the type in front of him. He had always worked hard to live his life and had no intention of talking about love. Now that he has a new life and can marry this man to escape from the Liu family, he thought it was not impossible.

Ling Chuan walked up to Xia Mo and said calmly, "I'll pick you up."

Xia Mo looked up at the man, hummed softly, thought for a moment and then said, "Can you help me with something?"

His voice was hoarse and dry, but there was light in his eyes on his thin and pale face. Ling Chuan looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then was silent for a long while before saying, "What's the matter?"

"Can you put me down when we get outside? I, I want to take care of something." Xia Mo swallowed, his eyes fixed on Ling Chuan's face.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant to answer, he quickly added, "Don't worry, I don't mean to break off the engagement."

Ling Chuan frowned. A newlywed cannot go out before the wedding, but this guy looks really anxious...

"Is it important?" he asked.

Xia Mo nodded, "Yes! It's very important, please."

Ling Chuan stared at Xia Mo for a long while before agreeing, "Okay, I'll carry you."

After saying that, he squatted down in front of the bed and motioned Xia Mo to come up.

Xia Mo looked at the man's back with a slightly shifted gaze. This man looked quite fierce, but unexpectedly he was quite easy to get along with. He moved his body and raised his hand to lean towards him.

Ling Chuan picked the man up, shook him a little and then walked out.

Xia Mo heard other people's gossip before he even went outside.

"Hey sister-in-law, I see why Liu Dazhi doesn't seem to like Ling Chuan."

"I think so too. I think this thing can be successful, maybe because Lingchuan gave a large betrothal gift."

"It's possible..." After all, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family love money so much.

"Out! Newcomers are out!"

Someone shouted loudly when he saw the two figures.

In the crowd, a young woman frowned when she saw Xia Mo on Ling Chuan's back. On the wedding day, he didn't even have a decent piece of clothing. The Liu family was going too far.

At this time, a boy next to her also kept shaking his head.

"Sister Yingying, has Ze Ge'er been bullied again? Look at the hairpin Liu Baolian is wearing. I've seen that hairpin at Ze Ge's place. It looks simple, but it's actually not cheap."

Liu Yu's father worked as a clerk in a shop in the town. The shop sold jewelry, so he learned a little from his father.

"Yu'er, you said that hairpin belonged to Ze'er?" Liu Yingying frowned slightly and turned to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu nodded, "Ze Ge'er said that it was a relic left to him by his mother."

Liu Yingying gritted her teeth and glared at Liu Dazhi's family, "How shameless."

"There's nothing we can do. It's the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. Besides, Lingchuan is a decent person. It's better for Ze'er to marry him than to stay in this family." An older grandmother listened to their conversation.

"That's right..." Liu Yu agreed.

As the distance got closer, Xia Mo took a look and was surprised to see so many people gathered at the door. He looked around and finally his eyes fell on the Liu family.

Among the four, only his stepmother, Mrs. Li, had a smile on her face, while the others either had stern faces or looked arrogant.

Xia Mo sneered in his heart, wait, I will give you a big gift today.

"Put me down after you go out." Xia Mo whispered in Lingchuan's ear.

Because they were too close, all his hot and moist breath sprayed on Lingchuan's ears, instantly burning the tip of Lingchuan's ear.

Ling Chuan shuddered all over and stamped his feet, feeling a sudden rush of heat to his face. Fortunately, he had dark skin and a serious face, so no one noticed his subtle changes.

Xia Mo stared at the back of the man's head, and seeing that he didn't say anything and even increased the strength of his hands, he thought he had changed his mind.

He pursed his lips, wondering whether he should jump down directly later, when Ling Chuan's voice came from below, "Okay."

Xia Mo was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "Thank you."

"There's no need to be polite between you and me." The voice was still deep and profound.
