Divorced woman with child travels through time

Wang Erniu gracefully dismounted and arrived at the entrance of Chen's Teahouse with a beaming smile. Finally, she was going to be his wife! Wang Erniu was a little excited. He handed the horse to Wang Hanyang beside him and was about to go inside.

Just then, Uncle Liu Hai, who happened to be coming out, glanced at him, and Wang Erniu realized what was happening and went back inside.

Uncle Liu Hai was dressed in brand new clothes, and as Aunt Liu said, he looked just like the neighborhood chief Wang Fugui. This made Uncle Liu Hai so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Uncle Liu, head held high and chest puffed out, with an imposing air, shouted loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived!"

The three little ones quickly lit the firecrackers next to them and hid at the door. Immediately, the crisp crackling sound of the firecrackers filled the air. The surrounding crowd, trying to avoid being hit by the firecrackers, scrambled to avoid them. Their laughter and shouts of encouragement for the bride to leave the house mingled together, causing a burst of laughter throughout the room.

"Oh dear, another one flew by!" exclaimed the woman beside her.

"Get out of the way!"

"Go away!" Her man grabbed a palm-leaf fan and slapped her away.

The woman said sweetly, "Thank you, my husband..."

The man smiled smugly, "My husband is still the best; he can protect you."

"Yes, yes, yes, our young master is the best!" the woman chimed in, continuing to watch the spectacle...

After the firecrackers were finished, Chunlan and Chahua stood on the second floor, carrying a large basket filled with candies and coins wrapped in colorful paper. Chahua called out, "Thank you all for coming to support us today, neighbors, friends and guests. Please have some wedding candy. This is a new candy from Chen's Kitchen. Get ready to receive it!"

With that, she tossed her hand, and colorful candies rained down from the second floor, mixed with copper coins, a truly beautiful sight.

Spread the orchids and camellias as far apart as possible. Madam Chen instructed that they should not be thrown together, and it would be best not to hit anyone, otherwise it would be unsightly if too many people crowded and trampled them.

The crowd below cheered, "Wow, throw it here! Throw it here!"

"Haha, I got it!"

The camellias were scattered here and there, like a shower of flowers. The adults grabbed some, but after seeing that they were small candies, they stopped picking them up. Only the children were left searching for candies on the ground and rummaging through the firecracker pile for unexploded firecrackers.

While Chu Yi was busy maintaining order, the three little ones watched as the simply dressed children were turning over the firecracker pile with sticks. Chen Xuanyu then said to the other two, "Why don't we give them some?"

Xiao Hao and Shiwu nodded, and the three of them each carried a large pile of clothes outside. When the other children saw that the three of them were dressed in brand-new, bright clothes, they were too timid to come over.

Chen Xuanyu walked over, grabbed a few with his small hand, and handed them to a child, saying, "Do you want some? Here you go, but be careful not to get blown up when you put them down!"

The child, whose face was a little dirty, looked at him with disbelief. "For me?"

Chen Xuanyu nodded, and the child happily took it and ran off to play. Once one came, another followed, and all the remaining children gathered around. Chen Xuanyu and the others distributed the items one by one.

Watching from the sidelines, I felt as if those children were my younger self.

Just then, a surprised exclamation rang out, "The bride is here!"

Then came the cheers of the crowd: "Time to pick up the bride!!"

When Chu Yi turned around, he saw his godmother wearing a jade crown and a green embroidered dress, which made her look even more graceful and charming. Chen Wenfang covered her face with a round fan and was supported by Aunt Liu. Under everyone's gaze, she walked gracefully and slowly towards Wang Erniu.

Both of them were remarried and neither of them were cultured, so they decided not to use the door-blocking poem.

Wang Erniu was so excited he was almost at a loss for words. He tried hard to suppress the increasingly upturned corners of his mouth, and from afar he reached out to greet her. He grabbed Chen Wenfang's hand and happily helped her towards the carriage. He secretly tilted his head back to steal a glance at Chen Wenfang, and was immediately captivated. He whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "My lady, you look so beautiful today..."

Chen Wenfang was a little shy. In her two lifetimes, she had never been treated with such respect. The green dress she wore was heavily embroidered with intricate and gorgeous dark patterns. It took almost three months to make and more than a dozen embroiderers had worked on it. Aunt Liu had taken her to see it, saying that since she was already the wife of the master, she should still maintain a certain level of decorum for her wedding.

The beautiful clothes stunned the women when they were brought back. Yanxia touched them very carefully, afraid of snagging the threads. In her previous life, only celebrities could afford to wear such clothes, not to mention the jade crown and jewelry. The whole outfit cost almost a hundred taels of silver. In her previous life, she was a country girl and only bought a cheap red woolen coat for her wedding. It cost about a hundred yuan. She had calculated it carefully and lived on her salary for a long time. The two of them earned about six thousand yuan a month and saved 150,000 yuan in three years. In the end, she was the one who was abandoned.

Although Chen Wenfang had long since bid farewell to her past life, wearing this expensive dress still filled her with countless emotions. She was still herself, just grown up a bit and had a bit more luck. With a smile, she responded softly to Wang Erniu. Chen Wenfang still steadily covered her face with her fan. Aunt Liu said that she could only take it off after drinking the nuptial wine in the bridal chamber, according to the groom's request, otherwise it would be unlucky.

Wang Erniu and his group arrived in two carriages. Chen Wenfang, Chahua, and the others boarded one, while Uncle Liu Hai and several children boarded the other. The wedding party was a long procession with about ten horses. Chen Wenfang observed that it was all in an orderly fashion despite the apparent chaos. Apart from a few unfamiliar faces, the others were likely Wang Erniu's brothers, whom Chen Wenfang had met before.

After the people on horseback passed, came several elders from Wangjiazhuang, led by the village head Wang Fugui, along with Uncle Tian, ​​Uncle Di, and their brothers, riding in Chen Wenfang's oxcart.

There was also a rented oxcart from the same village carrying several older women. Normally, according to etiquette, the women wouldn't need to come, but Chen Wenfang and Aunt Liu felt that giving red envelopes was a small matter, and it was a good thing to make the women of Wangjiazhuang proud. So they specially asked Uncle Liu Hai to invite them. It was the first time for the women to pick up the bride as the groom's parents, and this was a great honor. With red envelopes also being given, not one of them disagreed. Aunt Chuntao even said that she would come even without red envelopes, of course, she was joking. Chen Wenfang and the others couldn't possibly refuse to give them.

The aunties all dressed in their best clothes, putting on a slightly more formal look. They wore hairpins and silk flowers that they usually wouldn't wear, along with silver bracelets and earrings. They even applied the cosmetics and face powder that Chen Wenfang had given to Chahua, appearing very polite. This caused several usually reserved elders to frequently turn around and look at their wives, who looked much better than their usual unkempt old women. The aunties were extremely proud and pleased, and they liked Chen's wife even more—she was so good at socializing.
