Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Gu Dahua's family arrived quickly, and Zhou Banxia didn't need to deliberately dawdle up the stone steps. Before long, she walked out from the front hall.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Just as Zhou Banxia stepped onto the last stone step, the maid in front lifted the curtain to let her enter the hall, and Gu Dahua's figure also appeared in the courtyard.

Seeing Gu Dahua's family hurrying through the courtyard, Mai Dong immediately whispered a reminder to Zhou Banxia to wait quietly for their arrival.

"It's not Second Master, Second Master is safe and sound. It's First Master who has returned at this time for some reason." Gu Dahua's wife knew why Mai Dong had stayed behind to wait for her.

As she spoke, she left Mai Dong behind and chased after Zhou Banxia. On her way, she shook her head slightly at Zhou Banxia, ​​who was looking back, and then said as she went up the steps that she had something to report to her wife.

In the hall, Liu invited her in upon hearing this. When she learned that her eldest son was almost home, she asked her if her eldest grandson had also returned with his father.

If it were just her second son alone, he would go with everyone to escort the bride, unable to refuse their hospitality. But if they were to bring the children, then it was not necessarily a must for him to go.

With the child in tow, the father and son would be a pair, and whether they went or not, their absence wouldn't affect whether the wedding procession would have an odd or even number of people.

It seems that Erlang Yi, seeing that there were quite a few people accompanying the bride, thought it didn't matter whether he went or not, so he carried the child and accompanied the wedding procession to the village entrance and then returned to the old courtyard.

Otherwise, how could they get back at this hour? The wedding procession would have to follow behind the welcoming procession, and the welcoming procession would have to take a different route and go around in circles on their way back.

This explains why Huiming also returned with her husband and son. If it was a wedding procession, it wouldn't be appropriate for Huiming not to go along, let alone return together.

It's highly likely that her second son went back to the old courtyard and then to Doctor Dong's place. It just so happened that Huiming was at Doctor Dong's place, and then the three of them came back together.

Thinking of this, Liu nodded slowly to show that she understood, and told Gu Dahua's family to inform the gatekeeper that when Gu Erlang arrived, they should tell him that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were here.

Ma Shan waited and waited, and finally, when Gu Dahua's family withdrew and her mother-in-law was all alone, she immediately went to her mother-in-law's side and asked, "Mom, why did I hear her mention the eldest son?"

Liu chuckled. "That's right, you heard me correctly, that old man is Erlang. Erlang is back with the child, do you want to go and greet him?"

"Okay."

Liu knew that her eldest daughter-in-law was eager for her to go, so she pulled her daughter-in-law, who was in a hurry to turn around, and told her to slow down. When she turned around, she saw her mother-in-law's fiery eyes.

You two are truly mother and daughter!

It's fine if both mother and daughter are listening intently to what others are saying, but can't you be different from your daughter and at least pretend that you're not listening in?
"What do you say?"

Look how anxious you are!

Madam Liu couldn't help but chuckle, "It's alright, it's not a big deal. There are plenty of people going to escort the bride, it's not like it has to be Erlang who goes."

"That's exactly the case. It's not that I'm on my son-in-law's side, but the number of tables the groom's family has is what it is. It would be inappropriate for too many of their cousins ​​to attend."

It's not like we're going to grab weapons and fight. Why send so many cousins? The wedding procession only needs the bride's uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and one or two people from the maternal uncle's family.

"Exactly, they not only want your son-in-law and my son-in-law to go, but they also want our Tiger Girl and Sanya to go. They don't even know what they're thinking. Aren't they just making things more complicated?"

Let's not even talk about how young our grandson is. Tiger Girl and Sanya can't possibly leave. They're just playing house when people are having a banquet. Everyone only prepares one or two tables at most—”

"That's hard to say. It would be such a great honor to invite Sanya. If Sanya goes, even if the Yang family doesn't prepare an extra table, they'll push Sanya to sit down first, no matter who can't sit at the table."

Didn't hear that!
I really didn't hear that!

Zhou Banxia, ​​who was called out, didn't even dare to lift her head, pretending that she hadn't heard the conversation on the other side of the hall, especially Aunt Ma's extremely exaggerated statement.

"Hahaha, how could it be like that? You make it sound like everyone gives my Sanya face outside. Only you are praising my Sanya too much—" "Stop talking like your husband!" Aunt Ma teased Li Shi and asked with a smile, "Give her face? Don't you two feel guilty saying such things?"

Let's not talk about anything far away, just something close at hand. Everyone knows that our county magistrate is not only your son-in-law's senior brother, but also your third daughter's cousin.

"Well, how should I put it—" Li was momentarily stumped by her lack of eloquence, but she remembered what her husband had said: when you don't know what to say, just nod, shake your head, and smile.

"Speechless now?" Aunt Ma shook her head and smiled, mimicking her expression. "You're going to have a very lucky future; Dajiang has found another good match."

Upon hearing this, Liu glanced at her mother-in-law, who had spoken, and seeing that the mother-in-law was speechless after being teased, she laughed and said, "I'll take that as a compliment."

"What do you mean 'I'm praising you'? You're good as you are. Everyone outside says Sanya is filial. Sanya is filial, but it's also because you two are good at being parents-in-law."

As Aunt Ma sighed, she pointed towards the direction of the Gu family's old house, "If you and your husband were replaced by your in-laws, would Sanya be able to be filial?"

No!

Without giving it much thought, Li shook her head heavily.

"can."

As soon as Liu finished speaking, she saw Li shake her head rapidly, and not just once, but as if she was about to continue shaking her head.

She was so amused that she almost forgot what she was going to say next.

"Go on."

“Say it, I can do my duty as a daughter-in-law based on what my parents-in-law have done. Sanya will only do better than me.”

She wasn't an impulsive child, and she didn't like to argue with others. Unless she was driven to a dead end, she wouldn't be unfilial.

Believe it or not, if my child's father favored Erlang like his father favored Dalang, Sanya wouldn't even consider it a big deal.

She has that kind of attitude that everyone is biased towards, doesn't force things, believes that if you have the ability, you should make your own way, and if you don't, you can't blame anyone else.

Unlike some daughters-in-law who fixate on their in-laws' money, as if afraid some brother-in-law or sister-in-law might take advantage of them.

Aunt Ma originally wanted to wait for her daughter-in-law's mother to finish speaking before teasing Zhou Banxia about whether, as her daughter-in-law's mother said, a father-in-law's favoritism towards his eldest son wouldn't be taken seriously.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but suspect that her mother-in-law was annoyed by her mentioning the old couple from the Gu family and was deliberately trying to point out that her daughters-in-law were no good.

See it.

You can't even manage your own daughter-in-law, yet you're worrying about whether my old daughter-in-law is truly filial.

Is that what you mean?

"Unlike my two silly children, other women's sisters-in-law are afraid of being taken advantage of, but my two silly children are the opposite."

It's not that Tiger Girl is afraid that Sanya will suffer, but rather that Sanya is afraid that Tiger Girl will suffer. Even sisters aren't this close.

The funny thing is, my grandma always says that no daughter-in-law and son-in-law ever quarrel while living under the same roof. Being a mother-in-law like this is so easy for me!

Ok?
It sounds like you're overthinking it.

He was praising her daughter, but how could he praise her daughter when he was upset?
