Chapter 14 – Getting Married
Bonus chapter, courtersy of ko-fi. We’ll be uploading one chapter per day this week.
Wei Cheng went to the Zhou family and asked Wei Yuan to share the candy he brought out as the children surrounded him.
Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi stopped him at the gate of the courtyard, “You have to give red envelopes in order to enter.”
Wei Cheng took out the red envelope on the spot, including Zhou Yuan’s other cousins, as long as there was one who stretched out their hand in the courtyard to ask for the red envelope, he would give it.
Wei Cheng prepared thirty red envelopes, each containing ten wens, and there was still some left.
Wei Cheng gave the red envelopes generously, and when he got the red envelope for their children, the parents who looked at it showed a satisfied smile.
“I am Yuan-ger’s cousin Zhou Shaoyu.”
Zhou Lanlan’s eldest brother Zhou Shaoyu also returned from the academy, and he looked like a humble gentleman.
“Hello cousin, I am Wei Cheng, Yuan Yuan’s future husband.” They are not yet married, so he can’t be said to be a husband!
“Treat Yuan-ger well.”
“Definitely.”
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou came out, and looking at the dignified son-in-law made them happy.
Wei Cheng saluted respectfully and shouted, “Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will pick up Yuan Yuan.”
Father Zhou, as a father, nagged him with two sentences: “Cheng-zi, you and Yuan Yuan live a good life, in the future, if Yuan Yuan does not do well and provokes you to be angry, you bring him back, I will teach him a good lesson for you, you can’t bully him in private.”
“Father-in-law, rest assured, I will only spoil Yuan Yuan and will not bully Yuan Yuan.” Yuan Yuan is his wife, how can he bully him and it is never too late to be spoiled.
Mother Zhou pretended to be disgusted on the side, “He is now the one who is in charge, you don’t need to say something stupid, he will not bully Yuan Yuan. Isn’t that right, Cheng-zi?”
“Mother-in-law is right!” This answer was full of conviction.

“Yuan Yuan, I’ll take you out.” His wife and children, even the eldest brother-in-law are not allowed to carry them when he is here.
“Hmm.” Zhou Yuan nodded.
Wei Cheng took the person off Zhou Yong’s back, and as he looked at the person, Wei Cheng steadily carried Zhou Yuan out of the courtyard.
Everyone who saw it smiled.
Wei Cheng carried the man to the ox cart and sat him down on a cushion before letting go of his hand.
The onlookers saw that there was red cloth on the ox cart and soft cushions, and they were all curious about what was going on, and now they all knew that the cushions were for Zhou Yuan to sit on so that the way back would be comfortable for him. Wei Cheng was thoughtful and worthy of praise.
The three brothers, Father Zhou, and Mother Zhou’s heart were even happier when they saw this.
Everyone also noticed that Zhou Yuan was wearing a gold bracelet on his hand, and there were three of them, and they gasped.
Zhou Yuan’s three sisters-in-law suspected that Mother Zhou had privately bought it for Zhou Yuan, and their hearts were both coveting and resentful.
Three gold bracelets, how many silver taels could they have, and how many silver taels were spent, they are jealous of Zhou Yuan, and they are thinking about how much they can buy with the current family situation of the Zhou family.
“Second sister-in-law, Yuan Yuan wears a gold bracelet on his hand, it looks really expensive!” Zhou Yuan’s aunt was also envious.
Zhou Yuan’s aunt wished that the gold bracelet in Zhou Yuan’s hand was hers, and she was sour, “Sister-in-law, Yuan-ger’s gold bracelet wasn’t secretly bought by you in private.”
Mother Zhou couldn’t ignore her as she didn’t want others to guess randomly so she explained directly, “This is Wei Cheng’s sincerity, he gave it to my family’s Yuan Yuan, in addition to the gold bracelet, the jade hairpin on Yuan Yuan’s head is also given by him. My Yuan Yuan was still reluctant to wear it so I persuaded him, only then was he willing to wear it. The other two are my brothers’ and parents’ hearts for Yuan Yuan.”
Mother Zhou’s voice was not loud, but several aunts close to Mother Zhou heard it clearly, and soon, the words spread.
Some villagers spoke, “Didn’t they say that Wei Cheng was divided out of the family and became poor?”
Another villager, “I don’t know if this is true or false, but as it seems now, most likely someone spread it indiscriminately.”
Then another villager said, “If you can buy a gold bracelet, how can you be really poor!”
………
Wei Cheng’s focused gaze had always been on Zhou Yuan, and he didn’t pay attention to what was happening around him.
Wei Cheng would finally be stunned.
His wife is so good-looking.
Red clothes, black hair lightly tied behind, a little powder, beautiful eyebrows, bright eyes clean and thorough, a beautiful face.
Well, it just seems like he lost some weight, he’ll work hard to make up for it.
Zhou Yuan was stared at by Wei Cheng’s undisguised hot gaze, his face was red, his hands were clenched nervously, and his palms were sweaty.
Wei Cheng came back to his senses, he still remembered he had to take his wife home first.
Wei Yuan and Wei Lei looked at him playfully: He looks dumbfounded.
Wei Cheng calmly returned his eyes to his friends: He is dumbfounded!
Wei Yuan and Wei Lei:……. When did this guy become so cheeky?
Wei Cheng said goodbye to his Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, “Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will take good care of Yuan Yuan.”
Father Zhou waved his hand reluctantly, and Mother Zhou’s eyes were red, and they were reluctant to send their ger away.
The Zhou family sent the marriage cart away with eldest brother Zhou Yong, he was a bit worried about his younger brother, he wanted to go to Wei Cheng’s house to see, and he also recognized the way.
Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi, Zhou Yuan’s friends, also accompanied Zhou Yuan.
Along the way, the ox cart swayed and drove towards Wei Cheng’s house.

Wei Cheng’s family
Wei Cheng’s eldest sister, Wei He, came.
Mother Wei and her eldest daughter Wei He chatted about anything under the sky, Father Wei was supervising outside, and Wei Cheng’s eldest brother, Wei Liang was looking at the shop and would be coming over to eat a banquet when he arrived later.
Wei He married in her early years when the Wei family had not yet moved to the outskirts of the county and was still living in the countryside. Wei He only married someone who was also born in the same village, after Wei He married, the Wei family did not take long to make a fortune, and the two elders of the Wei family have always been sorry in their hearts for the poor marriage of their eldest daughter, and often make up for Wei He.
Wei He looks like Mother Wei, and she will always please Mother Wei when she speaks, and Mother Wei also likes her eldest daughter.
With Mother Wei making it up to her from time to time, Wei He also stood up in her husband’s house to be the head of the household, and her mother-in-law at home was good to her, and her concubines also listen to her, and her life was also prosperous.
“He-er, after the banquet, you can take some of the dishes from the banquet.”
“Mom, will second brother have an opinion if I take some?”
“How could that be, the money for the banquet is all from your mother, and the gifts received are all your mother’s property.”
“Then I’ll take some home, thank you!”
Wei He was happy, she saw in the kitchen that the villagers who came to eat the banquet sent a lot of things, including meat, eggs, and all kinds of vegetables… She canake some back and you can eat it for days.
She came to the banquet and originally gave one or two silver as a gift cause it was after all her brother, it was not good to give too little, but she didn’t expect that she didn’t have to give any and she could still take some back.
Her family knew that her second brother was married, but her son had to go to the town to become learn how to become a scholar, and her daughter was unwilling to come, saying that she was willing to go to her grandmother’s house, but she was not willing to go to her second uncle’s house, causing her to come alone.
Wei He had a son and a daughter, and her home was in the countryside not far from the next town.
Wei Wushi sat next to her bored, she had a general relationship with her sister-in-law, she couldn’t look at this sister-in-law, but she wouldn’t show dissatisfaction, this sister-in-law’s family was not good, but she still had a certain status in front of Mother Wei.
“Mom, my sister-in-law is here.”
Those people are asking for trouble =.=
