Gu Shan was very angry, feeling that Gu Zi simply did not see them as her foster parents!
Zhang Mei also said coldly, “Exactly, whether we go or not is one thing. Even if we don’t go, as a person who was once our daughter, she should have a proper attitude! Forget it, if we don’t go, we don’t go. Who cares about attending that rural wedding banquet.”
Seeing that her parents were dissatisfied with Gu Zi’s actions, Lin Miao was quite pleased.
In this situation, if they were to attend Gu Zi’s wedding, they would definitely give her a good scolding.
Moreover, she believed that Su Shen had already spent three thousand yuan on the betrothal gifts previously, so he wouldn’t spend much more on the wedding. The ceremony would definitely be shabby.
She was determined to attend Gu Zi’s wedding to witness her embarrassment.
She made up her mind and said to her parents, “Mom, Dad, we have to go. We can’t let others gossip about us.”
Zhang Mei thought it made sense. Gu Zi was not sensible, and as elders, if they weren’t sensible either, wouldn’t they be the subject of mockery? It would make them look petty.
She said, “I think it’s better to go. Just buy some inexpensive gifts. They can’t afford anything expensive. No need for a red envelope. Honestly, I don’t even want to go to a rural wedding.”
Gu Shan, seeing his wife and daughter both agreeing, said, “Then let’s go. It’s also an opportunity to remind Gu Zi not to forget our nurturing grace!”
Late at night, Lin Miao called MO Li, telling her that she would go to the countryside tomorrow and asked MO Li to help her buy some pastries to send to Gong Zhan, saying that she made them.
MO Li assured him that she would definitely get it done.
After hanging up, MO Li sneered and put down the phone.
She thought Lin Miao was truly stupid, but that was good. If Lin Miao wasn’t stupid, she wouldn’t be able to manipulate her.
She was already Gong Zhan’s secretary. If things went well, she wasn’t far from taking that next step…
On the ninth day of the ninth month in the lunar calendar, it was the auspicious day for the grand wedding of Su Shen and Gu Zi.
The autumn weather was clear, and the entire route from Daqing Village to Little Lin Village was adorned with festive decorations, even the bamboo fences by the vegetable fields were adorned with red ribbons.
The villagers believed that this would undoubtedly be the most splendid wedding ceremony their village had seen since the founding of the nation.
The Su Family Ancestral Hall radiated the most dazzling brilliance on this day, with the sound of firecrackers echoing repeatedly.
People came in and out, carrying offerings for the ancestors and finalizing the decoration of the wedding hall. The catering for the banquet was handled by the kitchen team Su Shen had hired, and they were also busy. The entire ancestral hall was immersed in a bustling and joyful atmosphere.
The bride had not yet arrived, and the villagers gathered at the entrance of the ancestral hall, chatting. Some felt that the chosen date was not very auspicious, as it was the Double Ninth Festival and also Senior Citizens’ Day, which might not be very propitious.
The elderly guardian of the ancestral hall, hearing this, covered his own wine jug and retorted, “What do you know? I’ve calculated it. This date is the best for the young couple. The number nine is excellent—lasting forever, growing old together.”
“You’ve never woken up from your drunken stupor. It’s hard for us to believe you, but we believe that Su Shen and Gu Zi will be fine.”
The crowd said, “You’re always drunk; it’s hard to believe what you say. But we believe that Su Shen and Gu Zi will do well.”
Su Shen had led Daqing Village out of poverty, and Gu Zi could help take care of the family. Most of the villagers with a normal mindset hoped for their continued prosperity, believing that this would contribute to the betterment of Daqing Village.
In the ancestral hall, the flower boy and girl had already arrived. After breakfast, they would go to change into their costumes.
The three children of the Su family were also present. Su Le was brought by Gu Zi’s sister-in-law, Li Hua. She had brought Su Le to the ancestral hall in advance.
Su Le was dressed in a pink princess dress today, with a bow on her head. She looked like a little princess—adorable and charming, especially lovable.
Su Bing wore a deep gray denim jacket and jeans today, with a white shirt as a base inside. His hair was intentionally styled.
A cold and exquisite handsomeness emanated from him, especially his side profile. He was simply a handsome young man!
Su Li’s choice of clothes was much cuter. He wore a sky-blue jacket paired with bright blue jeans. His hairstyle was the same as Su Bing’s, but he exuded a lively and adorable vibe.
Jiang Nuan looked at the two of them, circling around, but in the end, her gaze fell on Su Bing. People in the class thought Su Bing was difficult to approach due to his personality, but Jiang Nuan felt he was fine, just not much of a talker.
Perhaps because she herself was talkative, she tended to enjoy hanging out with those who spoke less.
She walked over to Su Bing and handed him a steaming hot corn cob..
