The courtyard house, without the script of Sha Zhu.

At that moment, Yi Zhonghai felt as if his mind had gone blank.

No?

Knowing that his apprentice was getting married, he took special care of him.

Not only was the other party his elderly relative, but he also got to drink Huai Ru's first soup.

And because Jia Dongxu was without a father, he could sit there with Jia Zhangshi.

He accepted their bows as if he were a father.

This was the feeling he had always dreamed of.

He bought the meat himself, but there wasn't a single piece of meat on the entire feast.

Just as Yi Zhonghai was about to get angry, his gaze never fell upon Jia Zhangshi.

As if he understood everything, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in anger.

"Dongxu, your mother must have kept this."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu's face instantly darkened.

But today was his big day. After taking a deep breath, he walked into the house and was surprised to see his mother lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), with the meat he had bought next to her.

"Mom, today is my wedding day! I never complain about how frugal you are usually, but why are you making me lose face today?"

Jia Dongxu was now truly hoarse and exhausted.

However, Madam Jia only glanced at him before immediately crying and wailing as she summoned Old Jia.

"Hey, Lao Jia, come up and take a look. This guy really forgets his mother after marrying a wife. The wife isn't even married into the family yet, and why should those guys get to eat? Giving them some bone broth is already doing them a favor. Wouldn't it be better if we ate the meat ourselves?"

Faced with Jia Zhangshi's attitude, Jia Dongxu felt helpless. It was his wedding day, and he couldn't afford to make things too ugly. So he could only leave with a bitter face, look at Qin Huairu, and whisper.

"Huai Ru, what Mom is thinking is that we should keep that meat for ourselves."

At the same time, Yi Zhonghai also looked at Qin's father and mother with a smirk.

"Well, there might have been a slight mishap."

Qin's parents, though their expressions weren't pleasant either, were somewhat disappointed, as the feast was rather meager; in their rural village, a proper feast always included at least some shredded meat.

However, considering that they received a dowry of 100,000 yuan, it was quite high, unparalleled in Qin Family Village.

In addition, there were a pitiful two or three pieces of pork ribs floating in the bone broth, which at least had some meat in them.

Besides, today is the child's big day, so I didn't say anything.

The subsequent process went relatively smoothly, albeit barely.

There was nothing left to cause trouble. After serving tea to Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu smiled and looked at Yi Zhonghai, and then served tea to him as well.

Looking at Qin Huairu, who was now dressed up and looking as beautiful as a flower, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but glance at his apprentice, feeling a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He felt somewhat guilty for having drunk his apprentice's wife's first soup before. But for some reason, he now felt that Qin Huairu was his own. Now that his apprentice Jia Dongxu was going to have his way with her, he felt like the one being cuckolded.

But this thought only lasted for a moment before he quickly suppressed it.

They cooperated fully and completed the process.

Most of the people in the courtyard came, except for Cao Wei, of course.

After all, he wouldn't waste his time on these beasts.

When he got home, he was shocked to find Xu Damao standing at the door with a sour face.

Only after asking did I learn that the Jia family's wedding was rather shabby.

This immediately made Cao Wei stroke his chin, unable to help but recall the events.

In the original timeline, with Sha Zhu's free help in cooking, and even with his own efforts, the Jia family's banquet was still quite successful. However, after losing the free labor and supplies...

The wedding banquet they held was even less impressive than those in the countryside.

After a brief moment of reflection, Xu Damao hesitated briefly before letting out a mischievous grin and extending an invitation to Cao Wei.

"Brother Wei, didn't you see Jia Dongxu's wife wearing her wedding dress today? Oh my, she looked so beautiful! I wish I were the one going to the bridal chamber today. By the way, should we go squat against the wall later?"

Cao Wei showed no outward expression, but inwardly he sneered.

"So I got to drink the first soup, didn't I?"

Jia Dongxu can be considered one of my kindred spirits; he's just a junior to me.

Why would a senior join in the fun of a junior?

Therefore, Cao Wei naturally rejected Xu Damao.

However, Xu Damao was not discouraged. He invited Yan Jiecheng and the three Liu brothers.

As night deepened, Jia Zhangshi counted all the money she had given as a gift with a satisfied expression.

He naturally pocketed the money, but seeing that his son's eyes were practically glued to Qin Huairu, he cursed her under his breath as a vixen, and then wisely went outside, leaving the couple some space.

Jia Dongxu's breathing was incredibly rapid as he held Qin Huairu in his arms, saying in a somewhat excited tone, "Huairu, I...I'm a little nervous."

As Qin Huairu lowered her head, she spoke in a voice barely audible.

"Me...me too..."

"Then...you should lie down first."

"good…"

"Huai Ru, I'm coming..."

Just as Jia Dongxu was about to unleash his weapon, a voice suddenly rang out.

"But Dongxu, I'm a little nervous..."

This completely baffled Jia Dongxu. After realizing that this wasn't what Qin Huairu had said, he quickly opened the window and started cursing at Xu Damao and the others who had already run out.

"Don't you dare run away! Fuck you!"

However, Qin Huairu quickly spoke up softly.

"Dongxu, ignore them, let's do it."

"good…"

Soon, the sounds of battle could be heard from inside the room.

Outside the house, Jia Zhangshi couldn't help but blush and curse inwardly.

"That damn vixen!"

But the sound also made her recall the years she fought alongside Lao Jia.

However, it only lasted a mere two and a half minutes.

Jia Dongxu then turned off the engine, which completely baffled her.

Just then, Jia Dongxu scratched his head and couldn't help but speak up somewhat awkwardly.

"Huai Ru, this might be the first time I've been so nervous."

Hearing this, Qin Huairu regained her confidence.

Two and a half minutes passed in their second battle. Jia Dongxu lay there like a dead dog, even with a hint of smugness in his tone.

"How's it going, Huai Ru? You must be exhausted!"

Qin Huairu leaned against Jia Dongxu's chest, her face slightly embarrassed, and nodded, but in her heart she had already cursed Jia Dongxu countless times.

"You're such a pain in the neck, even your father is no match for Yi Zhonghai."

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu couldn't help but look in the direction of the Cao family again.

"I could have endured the darkness, but I saw that brief moment of light."

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu felt a darkness descend upon her future.

This was practically the same as being a widow, and the lecherous glances Yi Zhonghai gave her during the day were also unbearable for her.

However, Qin Huairu seemed to have just remembered something and almost forgot one point.

"Oh, right, and Cao Wei too."
