Chapter 226 - 226: Wedding
Most of the villagers in Little Lin Village were generally simple and kind-hearted. Their attitude towards Lin Miao had turned cold because they felt she had been ungrateful.
Keen observers could easily discern the resentment held by the Gu family towards the Lin family.
The Gu family had likely believed that Lin Miao had suffered a lot in the Lin family and the village. It was evident that she had never spoken a fair word about the Lin family that had raised her.
Ironically, Lin Miao had been living a pampered life in the village in recent years. She didn’t have to do laundry or household chores. Apart from studying, her life mainly revolved around leisure, making the surrounding young girls envy her.
Her family conditions were slightly better than some other families who adhered to the traditional preference for boys over girls. Some girls in other families were even treated like beasts of burden, while Lin Miao was akin to the young mistress of the Lin family.
Everyone in Little Lin Village had witnessed how the Lin family treated Lin Miao.
They had also witnessed Gu Zhi’s culinary skills and knew that this city girl could prepare many delicious dishes. Without the experience of cooking every day in the Gu family, it would have been impossible for her to develop such excellent culinary skills.
Everyone then understood that judging a person based solely on their outward appearance was too one-sided – enjoying a comfortable life in the city, suffering in the village. It was far too simplistic.
In the ancestral hall, on the red carpet, the flower boy and girl had walked ahead, holding flower baskets. They scattered petals while waving to the guests on either side.
The most important ceremony of the wedding would be completed at this time, and the time was short. In addition, since there weren’t enough seats arranged due to limited space, everyone had to stand.
When it was luncheon time, everyone would move to the courtyard behind to eat.
Shi Tou was especially obedient today. He did whatever Sister Jiang Nuan did, and his chubby face looked especially cute and adorable.
Needless to say, Jiang Nuan’s smile was as bright as a blooming sunflower. When the guests saw her smile, they instantly forgot all their worries and wholeheartedly gave the newlyweds their best wishes.
Of course, the most dazzling thing at this moment was the golden jewelry hanging on Gu Zi’s body. It was simply exuding opulence and prosperity!
Su Shen was incredibly wealthy! It was a level of wealth they hadn’t considered. Absolutely at the level of a big boss! In the future, they would have to show respect to the Su family. When the Su family is well-off, everyone benefits.
Aunt Yang supported Gu Zi and walked to the ancestral tablets. She whispered some etiquette in Gu Zits ear and then stepped to the side. During the wedding ceremony, she could not stand beside the bride.
Gong Xin took on the role of the impromptu host, pushing the proceedings forward. Jin Long and the chubby shopkeeper led the cheering, setting the festive atmosphere.
After seeing Su Shen and Gu Zi exchange rings and complete the ceremony, Gong Xin became even more excited. The atmosphere in the hall was filled with joy and harmony, drowning out the sound of firecrackers outside the door.
Two hundred firecrackers were set off outside the ancestral hall, signaling the arrival of guests. However, who could be arriving so late? The wedding ceremony was already completed.
Outside the ancestral hall, the Gu family’s small car hesitated for a moment before coming to a stop.
The Gu family had followed Mama Lin’s instructions and drove all the way here. A classical and exquisite ancestral hall appeared in front of the family, and they were a little stunned.
Lin Miao knew this place. It was the Su Family Ancestral Hall. As far as she could remember from her memories of her past life, it had always been locked.
In her past life, she had asked Su Shen to hold the wedding here. He had mentioned the need to communicate with the elders of the clan, which was quite troublesome. Consequently, they didn’t use this place. But now, he opened it for Gu Zi’s wedding. Wasn’t it supposed to be troublesome?
When she saw the car parked outside the ancestral hall, she felt that it was dazzling. She hadn’t expected Su Shen to specially borrow a car as the wedding car and even hired a motorcycle team!
As the Su family didn’t have many relatives and friends, in her past life, when she married Su Shen, they just set up a few tables at the village office entrance.
Compared to the scene before her eyes, it seemed quite rudimentary.
Because Su Shen had given a generous betrothal gift, she hadn’t minded. After all, this was how weddings were conducted in the village, and they were already considered grand. However, in her past life, she had no idea what kind of wedding was considered grand.
Now she realized she hadn’t been greedy enough. In her past life, she should have asked Su Shen for more!
Lin Miao’s hands gripped the edge of her seat, leaving fingerprints on the car seat. She had only just broken the ice with Gong Zhan, and there was still MO Li wanting a share of the pie.
She had no idea when she would marry Gong Zhan. It was infuriating!
Gu Shan and his wife’s expressions turned especially bad when they saw the scene in front of them. Zhang Mei complained, “What a hypocrite! They must not have a decent house, that’s why they’re having the wedding in the ancestral hall..”
