The male supporting character was actually myself.

We can only hope that he suffers a great misfortune and that we can find some way to change things.

If we cannot stop this calamity from wreaking havoc on humanity, the entire world and its destiny, which will be ravaged and influenced by it, will be ruined. At that time, the polluted world will probably be uninhabitable for long…

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Wedding

The script has not been updated.

There's been no news from the white cat either, so it seems He Yongqiang's condition is relatively stable.

Huang Mao and his gang called back all of Grandma Zhang's children who worked and lived elsewhere. Her sons, daughters-in-law, daughters, and sons-in-law crowded the room with a lively chatter. After listening to the silly girl's intermittent account, the village secretary patted his chest and promised in front of everyone that he would definitely resolve the matter properly and prevent He Yongqiang from causing any more trouble for the neighbors.

Before figuring out the situation, Jiang Chen decided not to act rashly and could only wait quietly for further developments.

That night, the entire village of Qilizhuang was in a great commotion and didn't go to sleep until very late.

Liao Yuzhou, who was staying at Zhang Tieniu's house in Walnut Gully, only took a short nap. At first, she whispered to Li Tiantian, who had specially stayed up with her to sleep at night, for half the night.

After the other person fell asleep, she felt uneasy, excited, anxious, and restless, with all sorts of complex emotions intertwined, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

I didn't get a good night's sleep until it was just getting light.

"Tiantian, it's almost time!" Liao Yuzhou felt like he hadn't fallen asleep yet when he heard Li Tiantian's mother-in-law gently knocking on the door.

She responded with a shout and got up with renewed energy, while Li Tiantian, who had gone to bed too late the night before, lingered in bed for a while, feeling sleepy.

Weddings used to have all sorts of customs and traditions, but after reforms a few years ago, everything became simpler and the traditions disappeared. Liao Yuzhou got up, washed up, ate a bite of food, and began to groom himself.

She put on an exquisitely made long cheongsam and red high heels; applied some powder and rouge and lipstick; Li Tiantian helped her braid her hair and put on a red velvet hair accessory with sequined plastic beads that she bought yesterday while shopping.

After everything was prepared, Li Tiantian's mother-in-law personally covered her head with a red veil and sat quietly on the kang (heated brick bed) in the side room, waiting.

Jiang Chen, the groom, also got up early. The four hooligans jumped into the river early in the morning to take a bath and changed into clothes they only wore for the holiday, and then busied themselves with preparations.

The matchmaker, dressed in a festive red jacket and carrying a red handkerchief, sat on the front mule cart, carrying the wedding red wooden box, and set off joyfully towards Walnut Valley.

Following closely behind was a "band," with several old men from the neighboring village sitting on a cart, beating gongs and drums in a festive and lively manner;

At the very front, there were several men specifically tasked with firing guns. They would stuff gunpowder into the iron barrels, press it down firmly, and then light it with a deafening "boom."

The sound of gunfire is different from that of firecrackers. When people in the villages along the way hear just one bang, they know that a wedding procession is passing by. They run in groups to the main road, grab long benches, and block the road to wish them good luck.

The four hooligans carried bags of wedding candy and melon seeds. Their job was to exchange a few pieces of candy for blessings when the band played their instruments energetically after they were stopped, so that the people who were trying to curry favor would be satisfied and congratulate them on letting them pass.

Jiang Chen changed into a new outfit, wearing a red tie and a big red flower tied around his body, and rode his bicycle in the middle. His cool new bicycle naturally attracted a lot of envy and praise along the way.

Behind him were several large trucks loaded with wedding banquet food boxes.

According to local custom, the food and drinks in the food box on the first car are for the bride's family. When they arrive, there are people waiting to unload them and set up the feast. This is also an important part of showing off the groom's family's wealth.

The villagers, eager to join in the fun and celebration, would judge the groom's family's wealth and how much they cared for the bride by observing the wedding food boxes.

Therefore, regardless of whether a family is rich or poor, the first truck on the day of the banquet will definitely carry the best food and wine.

The remaining food was taken out after picking up the bride and returning to the groom's house to serve at the banquet for relatives and friends. Onlookers along the way judged the size of the banquet by the number of food boxes on the carts, thus inferring the scale of the wedding.

These days, when people are not well-off, most families bring two large cars to get married, and put a few plates of vegetarian dishes and some steamed buns or cornbread in a big red food box to save face.

However, Jiang Chen's wedding procession quickly drew gasps of amazement and admiration from the onlookers.

"My goodness, this is the fifth truckload! How many tables will we need to set up with all this food and drink?"

"Are you just putting on a show? Who has that much money to spend on this? Maybe there are more cars than vegetables."

“The banquet food boxes can’t be empty. Even if you put a cornbread in them, that’s something. I counted how many cars are behind us. Even if we have to put on a show, we’ll still get a lot of things.”

"Are you dumbfounded? Look at the cart wheels! Look how crushed they are! The food containers are probably full!"

"Tsk tsk, these wedding banquet food boxes are enough to feed an entire estate!"

"Wow, the groom is really handsome, and he even rode a new bicycle and brought so many wedding banquet food boxes. His family must be very wealthy!"

"I just snatched two pieces of wedding candy, good stuff! Little White Rabbit milk candy! It's just that those little brats who were handing out candy were hard to fool, I only managed to get two pieces."

"Hey~ You don't know him? That's He Jiangchen, the notorious coward from Qilizhuang! He's treated like an animal by his own uncle and aunt, and no girl in the surrounding area dares to marry him."

"Really? The big red flower was so eye-catching, I was so focused on the truck that I didn't even see the person in question. He's become so successful now?"

………………

The trucks loaded with wedding banquet food boxes finally passed by, and then a group of teenagers carrying brightly colored flags bounced around, swaying them back and forth without getting tired, occasionally joking and playing around.

The grand wedding procession set off at dawn, stopping frequently along the way until it finally arrived at Walnut Valley around noon.

Zhang Tieniu's house was decorated like a wedding party. Under the arrangement of Li Tiantian and her two sisters-in-law, the door-blocking, red envelope handing, wedding candy scattering, and marriage proposal were all done without missing a single step.

The villagers of Walnut Gully also gathered in Zhang's courtyard to grab the wedding candies and wait to see what kind of wedding banquet the groom's family had prepared.

When the heavy food boxes were opened and two large tables of chicken, duck, fish, meat, and exquisite dishes, along with two bottles of fine liquor, were laid out, the onlookers gasped in amazement.

Apart from older people who had seen some of the world in their younger years, most people had never seen such a lavish banquet.

The villagers, who were used to eating coarse grain cakes and wild vegetables, could hardly imagine what kind of conditions the groom's family had that could produce such high-class food and wine, since they were all from the countryside.

The same question had a clear, unspoken answer in the hearts of the villagers of Qilizhuang—He Jiangchen had inherited the property of her maternal grandmother's wealthy family.

There's nothing you can do about it, no matter how envious you are, since none of your ancestors were wealthy.

If someone has money, it's their money. Who can steal or rob it?

If someone were to do something so despicable, not only would they be arrested and executed, but according to the old man, they would also be sent to the eighteenth level of hell and boiled in oil!

So even if they were envious, most villagers turned their envy into motivation. The more than thirty tables were packed full, and everyone was stuffing their mouths with food, not even bothering to exchange pleasantries, except for congratulating the bride and groom.

"Jiang Chen is really promising! He's not stingy or arrogant, that's rare! Liao, oh no, I should call you Jiang Chen's daughter from now on, how's this marriage proposal? Are you satisfied?"

The matchmaker sat at a separate table inside the house with the bride, bridesmaids, and wedding party members. She ate roast chicken with gusto, her mouth dripping with oil, and praised He Jiangchen from head to toe with a thumbs-up.

The little white cat, who had been crashing the wedding banquet, blushed for its host, praising him so much. "Meow~ Is my host really this perfect? ​​Although he is indeed very good... there are so many good qualities I haven't discovered yet, meow? It seems I'll have to treat my host even better from now on. It's so rare to find such a wonderful host..."

Chapter Thirty-Three: Was the Original Owner Impotent?

After a lively day, Jiang Chen, whose memories were folded up, experienced a wedding that was unlike anything she had ever done before.

After the wedding night festivities were over and the banquet was cleaned up, the courtyard quieted down. Liao Yuzhou, wearing a red veil, sat nervously on the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, waiting for the groom to lift the veil.

"You must be tired after a long day?" Slightly tipsy, Jiang Chen entered the room and sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), keeping a little distance from Liao Yuzhou, who was dressed in a festive bright red outfit.

Liao Yuzhou, whose face was already flushed under the red veil, replied softly, "It's alright, I'm not very tired."

"The newly built west wing has hot water for bathing. I've prepared pajamas for you. Go take a shower and get some rest."

"You..." She peeked through the gap under the red veil and noticed that the other person was sitting quite far away from her, and a feeling of grievance welled up inside her. "Why are you so far away from me? I'm not a tiger that'll bite you..."

Jiang Chen leaned against the kang table and explained with a smile, "I drank too much and I smell strongly of alcohol. I'm afraid it might bother you. See if there's anything else you need in the room, and I'll go prepare it for you so you can rest early."

"Then you have to help me lift the veil first, right? I can't lift the veil myself, can I? The matchmaker said that would be bad luck."

"Oh, there's this part too. Sorry, it's my first time getting married and I have no experience." Jiang Chen, who had drunk too much, thought this kind of wedding was quite fun. She stepped forward and lifted the red veil to reveal her beautiful face, which was as lovely as a peach blossom.

The fluffy dumpling couldn't help but facepalm. "Host, you've gotten married many times in other mission worlds, but this is the first time you've drunk too much. Why do you look so silly?"

The bride is so beautiful, hurry up and give her a kiss! Let's drink the nuptial wine! Mwah! *kissing sound*

Liao Yuzhou, with her eyes sparkling like autumn water and her lips parted in a smile, glanced at him tenderly, her face flushed with spring, and then shyly lowered her head.

Jiang Chen toyed with the red veil in her hand and casually tossed it onto the chattering little white cat, startling it so much that it jumped away and hid quietly without saying a word.

He stepped back slightly and leaned against the kang table, admiring her for a moment before sincerely praising, "You are truly beautiful."

"So, do you like it?" She boldly asked, then blushed so much she wanted to hide her face in her collar.

"Liking someone just because they look good is called lust at first sight." Slightly tipsy, Jiang Chen's voice was tinged with drunkenness as he gently patted the kang table, preparing to launch into a long speech. "Let me tell you, if a man only glances at you and pursues you without trying to understand anything, you absolutely cannot be with him!"

Today he thinks you're pretty and he's pursuing you relentlessly;

What if you meet a girl prettier than you someday?

When looking for a partner, it's essential to find someone whose spirit and soul resonate with yours; looks are secondary. Those who judge solely on appearance will inevitably be drawn away by other women sooner or later. After all, who can guarantee they'll stay young and beautiful forever?

A person's knowledge and experience can increase over the years, but beauty will definitely fade gradually.

"That's why mistresses always keep a close eye on their husbands after they've taken over. They know all too well how they managed to oust the wife, and if they're even slightly lax in their supervision, the man will have an opportunity to quickly start having mistresses like the fourth or fifth one..."

Liao Yuzhou looked at the obviously drunk man talking fluently and couldn't help but feel both annoyed and amused. Others' wedding night is a time of blissful passion, but this man is just rambling on and on about some nonsense.

As the saying goes, "If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog; if you marry a carrying pole, carry it with you." I've already registered our marriage and held a wedding banquet with you, so how could I possibly go out and date someone else?

What a silly boy!

"I'll go pour you some hot tea, have some water to sober up." She got up gently and virtuously, took a new tea set, brought in a red thermos filled with boiling water, brewed a pot of tea, and placed it on the kang table.

The little white cat rolled its eyes and patted its host's face with its fluffy little paw, reminding him, "Host, it's time for you two to get down to business! The bride is waiting for you!"

"Go away, let's talk about serious matters." Jiang Chen swatted its paw away, turned to Liao Yuzhou and said seriously, "Let me tell you, the wedding is over today, and you are nominally my wife, but you are completely free!"

From now on, we'll be living under the same roof. If we're attracted to each other and have feelings for one another, we can try starting as a couple. Don't overthink it or feel pressured; feelings can't be forced.

As a young person who has read books, gone to school, and is knowledgeable and thoughtful, you should be aware of the importance of free love and free marriage.

Anyway, my idea is that I should never compromise on relationships, and I'd rather have nothing than something bad!

"Only those who truly love each other can entrust their lives to one another..."

Liao Yuzhou poured him a cup of hot tea and handed it to him. His heart skipped a beat. So, he really didn't like him?

From my grandparents' generation to my parents, marriages were always arranged by parents and matchmakers. Even in the city, talking about free love would be laughed at or even scorned.

He Jiangchen was just a young man from a remote mountain village who hadn't had a proper education for many years. How could he have come up with so many ideas?

While he's not wrong, it's definitely better if the couple has a strong emotional foundation...

Lost in thought, Liao Yuzhou didn't hear what the other person said next.

The fluffy dumpling, clutching its short paws, turned away in a huff and said, "Luckily, the bride thought you were drunk and didn't notice. I almost gave myself away just now!"

Host, you big idiot!

As expected, a kitten can't save a host who's had too much to drink. I'll laugh at you when you regret it tomorrow. Humph! You've married a beautiful new bride and you're not even in a hurry to consummate the marriage… other brides are more eager than you, meow meow meow!”

Slightly tipsy, Jiang Chen felt they had talked enough. After drinking two cups of hot tea, he took out a brand-new padlock with a key from his pocket and handed it over. "This room is yours from now on. You can lock it anytime if you feel uncomfortable. You've been busy all day and haven't eaten or rested well. Go wash up and go to bed early. I'll make you something delicious tomorrow morning."

As the little white cat sighed and rubbed his forehead, he got up and staggered out of the bridal chamber, leaving Liao Yuzhou, with a hint of resentment, looking at the silk pajamas he had prepared for her, her eyes slightly red, alone in the empty room.

"Host, the script has been updated!" The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the grumpy little white cat jumped down from the camphor wood chest on the kang (a heated brick bed) and landed on Jiang Chen's face like a fluffy bomb.
