Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

She was helping to receive guests at the door just now. When she saw Lu Huaijin coming, she remembered that her husband had secretly helped her elder sister-in-law. She became very angry and mistakenly thought that he came here with nothing in his hands and wanted to eat for free. That’s why she felt unhappy and wanted to drive him away.

She also didn't expect that Liu Qing, his nephew and his wife would bring such expensive gifts. If she had known this, she would not have been so sarcastic and embarrassed herself. But fortunately, she got the things.

After getting the things, they also gave her a tael of silver, which really surprised her. She completely let down her guard, forgot about what happened just now, and greeted them carefully.

The yard of Liu Qinghe's house is quite large, with a total of six or seven rooms. The new house is on the right side of the main hall. There are six tables in the yard, and it is quite lively with guests sitting together. The guests sit on both sides of the yard, and a path is left in the middle with a red carpet leading directly to the main hall. The whole yard is decorated with joy, which gives the bride enough face.

After a while, someone shouted loudly: "The bride has arrived at the village entrance and is ready to come in!"

Sitting in the yard, you can hear the joyful sounds of music coming from the village.

Liu Qinghe and Song Xiaoqin hurriedly tidied their clothes and walked out. Seeing this, the guests also stood up and went out to watch the ceremony.

Not long after they went out, they saw a man in wedding clothes riding a horse. That man was today's groom, Liu Yang. Behind him was a sedan chair, and behind the sedan chair was an ox cart. On the ox cart was the bride's dowry. Everyone counted them, and my God, there were a total of sixteen ox carts. The matchmaker followed by the side, and the band played music until the sedan chair landed and arrived in front of the Liu family's door. Only then did the band stop.

"Oh my, Liu Yang is so handsome today!"

"Of course not. If you don't know him, you might think he's some young master! He's even riding a horse."

"When I got married, we didn't even have an ox cart. I just covered my wife with a red veil and brought her home as a bride." A man said happily.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing out loud.

But in the village, it is indeed rare to have horses.

This was because Song Xiaoqin was considerate of her reputation and took out some money to let her son rent a horse in the city, which she had to return after the wedding.

"That's nothing. Look at the girl's dowry, it's sixteen loads! Liu Yang is such a lucky guy!"

"As expected of a city girl, her conditions are probably extraordinary."

"Who among ordinary families can afford a dowry of sixteen loads?"

Seeing so much dowry, many people in the village became jealous. They looked at the dowry with envy and hatred. When ordinary people in the surrounding area married their daughters, it was common to have one or two loads of dowry. Some even had none or half a load, and the most was four loads of dowry.

The girls in the city usually had four to eight loads of dowry, but the Liu family's bride had sixteen loads of dowry, which made her considered a lady from a wealthy family.

"Get down from the sedan chair! The groom is kicking the door!" the matchmaker shouted loudly.

Liu Yang's face was full of joy. He kicked the door of the sedan chair at everyone's shouting. After looking at each other, several friends around him blocked the door to prevent Liu Yang from opening it. They also tied up his hands and feet and sprinkled flour on him. As if that was not enough, they found some rotten vegetable leaves and threw them on Liu Yang. This really opened Yao Qingnian's eyes. He thought that this kind of vulgar wedding prank only existed in modern times, but he didn't expect that it also existed in ancient times. It was really speechless. These people were making trouble for others in the name of making trouble for the wedding, which made people who saw it full of anger. Liu Yang was made to look miserable. His originally clean wedding clothes were now dirty, and his handsome face was covered with vegetable leaves. He looked very unhappy.

Finally, Song Xiaoqin and the others couldn't stand it anymore. They felt sorry for their son, so they spoke out to stop him: "Alright, that's enough. If you keep making trouble, you'll delay the auspicious time for entering the house."

"We are also doing this to make Liu Yang live a prosperous life. The more noise he makes, the better his life will be in the future." The men who had just made the noise shouted loudly. This was the tradition in the village, so Liu Qing and his family couldn't refute it and could only let them do as they pleased.

After a long commotion, Liu Qinghe and his wife persuaded and gave him copper coins before they let the man go. They allowed him to lift the sedan chair, carry the bride down, then step over the fire basin, enter the yard, take the bride to the main hall, and get married in the presence of their elders. The ceremony was finally completed.

After the ceremony, the groom Liu Yang was dragged by several friends to drink, and each of them poured him a glass of wine.

Yao Qingnian was speechless. It was too difficult to get married and have to go through so much trouble. If anyone dared to treat her husband like this, she would definitely give them a good lesson.

Lu Huaijin, who was standing by, noticed Yao Qingnian's expression and asked, "What's wrong, Qingnian?"

"No, I just felt that those people were inhuman after seeing Liu Yang being tortured like this."

"It seems that everyone in Liujia Village gets married like this."

"If it were me, if anyone dared to do this on my wedding day, I would make them leave on their backs. What do you mean by making a fuss? I think they did it on purpose."

"Wife, there is no such custom in our village. Even if there is, I will not let you get hurt. However, you have no chance. You have already married me."

“We can do it again!”

"Hmm? What do you mean by that, wife?" Lu Huaijin stared at his wife without paying attention to other people's looks.

"I'm just kidding!" The one who was marrying him was not him, but the original owner. Yao Qingnian smiled awkwardly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After the ceremony, the banquet officially began. The Liu family's banquet was also quite good. There were nine large bowls, including steamed crispy pork, braised pork with sauce, chicken, duck, meatballs, pork elbow, sauerkraut, green vegetables, and Yao Qingnian's favorite fish jerky. It was considered quite rich, as it was almost entirely meat dishes.

It seems that the Liu family spent a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, and they were not stingy. However, Yao Qingnian felt that the fish jerky was not as delicious as the one made by Madam Le. It might be because there were no plums added, so it tasted a bit greasy.

When Yao Qingnian was eating happily, the groom Liu Yang ran over.

"Cousin Huai Jin, why are you sitting here with this woman? Come on, come on, come with me over there and have a drink. We two brothers can have a good talk." Liu Yang's face was slightly red, and there were still traces of the wedding prank on his wedding clothes, but he was very happy and was not affected by what happened just now.

"I'm here with my wife, so I won't go over." Lu Huaijin declined politely.
