Xie Qingyu's dowry was displayed in the courtyard, prompting many people to reminisce.
Some even thought that the village secretary and Wang Guifang were fools, why not save such good things for their three sons, especially since one of their sons wasn't even married yet, why give them all to their daughter?
However, no one dared to say these things to Xie Zhishu.
He had been doting on Xie Qingyu for so many years that the villagers had long been used to it.
This time, the only reason there are so many negative comments is because the dowry is too large and doesn't end up in their own family's hands.
However, when He Shen arrived in a car on his wedding day, no one mentioned Xie Qingyu's dowry anymore.
That's a car.
They are rarely seen even in towns.
Many people in the village have lived most of their lives without ever seeing a car, let alone touching one.
The Xie family hadn't expected He Shen to come pick up Xie Qingyu by car.
When He Shen parked his car in front of the Xie family's house, even the cousins who had been blocking the door wanted to put down their barricades and go outside to touch the impressive car like everyone else.
Even Xie Xixing had such an impulse.
Fortunately, they knew that their job was to block the door.
These busy days have also made Xie Xixing accept the idea that He Shen wants to become his brother-in-law.
But deep down, he still felt like his home had been raided.
Now that he has the opportunity, he certainly won't let He Shen pass by easily.
Xie Qingyu has many cousins.
Everyone had to pose a question to He Shen.
Some of them are mental exercises, like brain teasers, which are easy for He Shen.
Some tasks involve physical exertion, such as carrying a cousin while doing squats. These are often the most popular.
However, He Shen's effortless actions greatly disappointed them.
As He Shen's problem-solving speed increased, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
The act of blocking the door before the wedding is not only about showing off oneself, but also about creating a lively atmosphere and making people feel uncomfortable so that they will let him in smoothly.
Therefore, He Shen later showed signs of physical exhaustion.
Sure enough, as soon as he showed his weakness, someone immediately joked that they should save some energy for the groom to get married, and that the rest of the questions would be passed by casually.
Even when he reached the final hurdle, Xie Xixing, and tried to cause trouble, his brothers stopped him and told him not to do anything wrong.
Seeing Xie Xixing's somewhat aggrieved expression, He Shen pretended not to know and simply acted as if he had done his best.
Finally, Xie Xixing had no choice but to let him in.
The chatter outside had taken up too much time, so when it was time to step into Xie Qingyu's boudoir, He Shen's heart was pounding, though he himself didn't realize it.
Xie Qingyu is wearing a red long-sleeved dress today, the fabric of which was specially sent by Wang Guimei.
The fitted waist design that Wang Guifang made for her perfectly showcased her shapely figure.
Her hair was half tied up and half hanging down beside her ears, giving her a unique charm.
Perhaps because she had applied lip rouge, Xie Qingyu's lips were red, and when He Shen stared at them, he had only one thought: he wanted to kiss her.
"The bride is here!"
"The bride is so beautiful, the groom was completely mesmerized!"
Someone in the crowd was making a joke.
He Shen was completely deaf to what anyone was saying; his eyes were only on Xie Qingyu sitting by the bed.
"I've come to pick you up," He Shen said.
Xie Qingyu was carried out by He Shen and placed in the car with her feet barely touching the ground.
Even though she heard the car while inside the house, Xie Qingyu still didn't expect He Shenzhen to have borrowed a car without saying a word.
The drive from the Xie family home to the new house takes even less time, so He Shen didn't drive straight back, but instead chose to drive around the village.
The village children all ran and played behind the car, as if they had seen something new and exciting.
When Xie Qingyu arrived at the new house, everything was already prepared.
The wedding began the moment Xie Qingyu got out of the car.
At this stage of the wedding, after bowing three times, it's time to wait for relatives to present their gifts.
Uncle Huang, representing the groom's side, gave the largest amount.
The others who were present were all from Xie Qingyu's side.
Aunt and maternal aunt gave the most gifts.
This should have been given directly to Wang Guifang, but He Shen only came here to make an appearance because he has no relatives on his side.
No wonder some people say this is similar to a son-in-law living with his wife's family, as it's mostly the woman's relatives present.
He Shen himself doesn't care about this.
The money received as a gift was brought directly to Xie Qingyu's room and given to her immediately after the ceremony.
When the banquet began, Xie Qingyu followed He Shen and went around to each table to offer a toast.
Xie Qingyu held the wine bottle and poured a little into He Shen's glass whenever she met someone.
He Shen was delighted when he took his first sip, as Xie Qingyu had always poured him plain water.
The old drunkard could probably tell, but since the newlyweds weren't very familiar with He Shen, no one pointed it out.
He Shenjing remained sober after drinking around the room.
In the afternoon, He Shen saw Uncle Huang and his group off, and with Wang Guifang's help, returned the rented tables, bowls, and chopsticks.
After everyone had left that evening, He Shen closed the door and went back inside.
Xie Qingyu was counting money inside the house.
There were quite a few people giving gifts today. The majority of the gifts came from Uncle Huang and his aunt and uncle. Villagers could come to the feast by giving 2 mao (0.2 yuan) each, which added up to quite a lot. People from the educated youth settlement also came, each giving 3 mao (0.3 yuan), which was more than the villagers.
Xie Qingyu counted and put away the odds and ends one by one, then checked the gift list to see which ones she would need to return later.
When He Shen returned, he saw Xie Qingyu sitting on the bed counting money.
"How many?" He Shen casually closed the door and inserted the wooden sheath.
"I don't know, I haven't finished counting yet." Xie Qingyu put the counted ones back into the box.
He Shen reached out to help her count the uncounted stacks. After the two of them added up the numbers, Xie Qingyu calculated it and then looked at the gift list again. "Something seems off."
"Is it too much or too little?" He Shen's gaze wasn't on the gift list, but on Xie Qingyu.
"It seems like there's a bit too much." Xie Qingyu looked back at the money again and saw that there were a few extra dollars. She didn't know if there was a mistake in counting or if there was just too much.
Seeing Xie Qingyu looking at the money in the box and preparing to count it again, He Shen said, "Count it tomorrow."
"It's too much trouble to go through the gift list again tomorrow. Let's just check it now," Xie Qingyu said without looking up.
She doesn't like leaving things for the next day.
"Stop counting." He Shen reached out and took the box away. When Xie Qingyu's gaze fell on him, he said in a pitiful voice, "I can't wait any longer."
