Chapter 203: Chapter 0203: Grand Wedding 3_1

The Wang Zhengguo siblings were incredibly busy, each handing over a bit of cash to Feng Qingxue as a wedding gift while also bringing over a chicken from their own home to be included in the wedding feast. This act of generosity had the neighbours and villagers green with envy.

No wonder Feng Qingxue managed to find such a good match and marry in such grandeur, who wouldn’t want such generous relatives?

Watching the lively scene from a distance, Zhou Guihua and Li Guohong gritted their teeth in bitterness and restrained their unwilling kids from getting near to the scene.

As friends and relatives arrived, the bride’s side soon welcomed the groom’s party. The donkey pulling the cart was decorated with a big red flower, and Lu Jiang, in his neatly tailored military uniform, descended from the cart using crutches.

His arm and leg hadn’t fully healed, but the other healthy limbs allowed him to stand with the aid of crutches.

For his once-in-a-lifetime wedding, he didn’t want to run it through a wheelchair.

Today, the sky was extraordinarily clear and bright.

Lu Jiang had military medals on his chest, and under the sunlight, they shone brilliantly, practically blinding the crowd.

Upon seeing these military medals, the crowd fell into silence as they knew every one of them was earned through bloodshed. Therefore, the group of seventeen or eighteen young men from the groom’s party, and one more in a uniform, all surrounded and helped Lu Jiang without any obstructions until they arrived at the Feng family’s thatched hut.

Wang Zhengguo stood at the entrance, smiling and scolding, "Sly!"

"Uncle!" Lu Jiang raised his eyebrows, indicating to Niu Yibao to offer cigarettes to Wang Zhengguo and other elders of the Feng family.

A stick of premium cigar was enough to make the simple men of the Feng family joyful.

With everyone thrilled, nobody stopped Lu Jiang from entering the house.

Niu Yibao and a few youths hurriedly followed him in.

Upon seeing Feng Qingxue, who was sitting on the bed and surrounded by a group of women, apart from Niu Yibao, the other men who came with Lu Jiang were stunned by her beauty, filled with envy towards Lu Jiang.

They had heard that Wang Zhengguo’s niece was pretty, a natural beauty, but they never expected her to be this beautiful!

It felt like a heavenly immortal had descended to Earth, just like in the traditional operas they used to hear when they were young.

Despite their admiration, they dared not voice it out loud. Not one of them dared to tease the bride, fearing it would leave a bad impression.

If the bride wasn’t Feng Qingxue or if she was just average-looking, they would’ve already started urging the groom to kiss her by now.

Their silence and the women in the house making way made it easier for Lu Jiang to approach Feng Qingxue.

"Qingxue, I am here to take you home." Lu Jiang announced in a loud voice, causing a round of laughter in the room.

Under the red bridal veil, Feng Qingxue’s face turned as red as ember.

Wang Fengqiao, who was standing nearby, chuckled, "Alright, alright, Lu Jiang, take Qingxue away now. You can change her shoes once you’re in the car." She gestured to Feng Qingyun to hand a pair of leather shoes to Lu Jiang.

Usually, the bride would just wear the shoes on her feet to her new home.

However, for the more particular, no trace of her maiden home’s soil should touch the bride’s shoes.

Having learned about these rituals beforehand, Lu Jiang happily accepted the shoes, "Thank you, younger sister!"

Niu Yibao, standing nearby, quickly handed a red envelope to Feng Qingyun, "Here, little sister, here’s a red envelope from your brother-in-law!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Feng Qingyun sweetly replied.

She was saddened to see her sister leaving, but her uncle and aunt had told her that she couldn’t follow today. After Feng Qingxue’s three-day ceremony, she would be brought along to live in the Wanglou Brigade, and for now, she would temporarily stay with her uncle and aunt.
