Chapter 103 You Provoked Me
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hot.

As in previous years, when the weather got hot, the villagers stopped going to the fields at noon.

They gathered in groups of three or four in the shade, chatting about gossip in and out of the village.

The marriage of the two girls from the Liu family was undoubtedly the event that the villagers paid the most attention to.

The Gao family paid the betrothal gift and sent the wedding dress, and also sent people to discuss when to get on the bridal sedan, how many firecrackers to set off, how to cross the fire basin after entering the house, and how to worship and drink. All the details were agreed upon by both families, and they were just waiting for May 22nd.

But what about the Qin family?

Apart from repairing the courtyard wall, replacing the low and dilapidated wooden fence with a tall bamboo fence, whitewashing the walls and painting the old furniture, no further action was taken.

The betrothal gifts were not delivered and the wedding dresses were said to be not ready yet.

A few pieces of jewelry were delivered, but no one came to discuss the arrangements for the bride and groom that day, which made the eldest wife of the Liu family very unhappy.

For a while, the villagers repeatedly compared and joked about the marriages of the two Liu sisters.

The villagers were all waiting to see Liu Yingyue make a fool of herself.

Widow Luo spared no effort in spreading rumors, saying that even if Liu Yingyue really married into the Qin family, she would not be able to bear the hardship and would run away with another man.

For example, she would run away with a handsome and educated man and leave behind the lame Qin Dalang.

The villagers don't like the fierce Madam Liu because she is unreasonable and likes to win in everything. But Madam Liu doesn't like to take advantage of others. But the widow Luo would steal even a vegetable or a clove of garlic to take advantage of others, which makes the villagers despise her.

They deliberately laughed at Widow Luo, "Running away to follow your son, huh? You're very calculating."

Widow Luo looked embarrassed and said, "I was just making an analogy."

"To give an example, it's not your son's turn. If you want a girl to marry you, you have to let your son pass the imperial examination first." The villagers laughed.

This is really a pot that cannot be opened.

His son Luo Si'an was punished by the county magistrate and was never allowed to take the imperial examination again. He had to wait for the next life to achieve the title of scholar.

Widow Luo, who didn't gain any advantage by speaking, ran away in shame and anger.
-
The wedding date was approaching, and Madam Liu did not allow Liu Yingyue to go out again. Instead, she ordered Liu Jiangshi to follow her closely.

Liu Yingyue had to make casual clothes for the Qin family and really didn't have time to go to the market or other places, so she simply stayed at home.

Liu Xingyue did not go out again. Madam Liu Er was teaching her how to get money from the Gao family and bring it back to her parents' home after she got married.

"Mom, is this possible?" Liu Xingyue was timid and didn't dare to do it.

"You are stupid. You are married to the Gao family. You are the young lady of the Gao family. Why can't you bring back some money? Take it openly!"

Liu Xingyue also liked to have money on hand, and was bewitched by her mother, ready to make some moves.

Gao Yucheng had never come to the Liu family before. Things like delivering betrothal gifts and wedding clothes were all done by the family's farmhands. But when he heard that the Qin family hadn't even prepared a bridal chamber, he started going to the Liu family more frequently.

After sitting in the second room of the Liu family for a while, he would persuade Liu Xingyue to take him to the first room of the Liu family.

Liu Xingyue wanted to show off, so of course she went there happily.

Because of the long-term relationship between the two families, the eldest wife of the Liu family had no choice but to let him in.

Gao Yucheng deliberately showed off how well his bridal chamber was decorated, and said sarcastically that the Qin family had neglected Liu Yingyue.

Madam Liu was so angry that her face turned red, Liu Lizheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and Liu Dalang wanted to rush to the Qin family and beat them up.

Gao Yucheng and Liu Xingyue saw their expressions and felt happy in their hearts.

Gao Yucheng was happy because the eldest wife of the Liu family regretted her decision. Liu Xingyue was happy because the eldest wife had always looked down on the second wife for being poor, and this time the situation had changed.

While Gao Yucheng was speaking, he looked around, wondering which room Liu Yingyue lived in, whether she was at home, and whether she heard what he said.

At this moment, a door was suddenly pushed open, and Liu Yingyue, dressed in a light green summer dress, walked out gracefully from the room.

She frowned and waved her hands, "Mom, why are there so many flies all of a sudden? Did something dirty get in?"

Out of consideration for Gao Yucheng's face, Madam Liu just looked at him, frowned and said nothing.

Liu Yingyue's gaze swept over Gao Yucheng and Liu Xingyue.

She smiled and said, "Hey, it turns out that it's Mr. Gao and Sister Xingyue here. Did you not bring any flies in?"

These two people have irritated her. Do they want a fight?
When Gao Yucheng saw Liu Yingyue, his eyes were locked on her and he couldn't move away.

Liu Xingyue's face was powdered, smeared with rouge and eyebrows drawn, but it was not as beautiful as Liu Yingyue's face which was bare.

Gao Yucheng's back teeth were about to break when he thought about how such a beautiful girl was lucky enough to be with that Qin Cuzi.

Liu Xingyue noticed that Gao Yucheng had been staring at Liu Yingyue, and her face suddenly turned gloomy. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand again and again, wishing she could twist it into pieces and throw it at Gao Yucheng's face.

"Yucheng, I... my stomach hurts. Maybe I have heatstroke?" Liu Xingyue whimpered coquettishly.

"If you don't feel well, go home first. I have something to say to Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu." Gao Yucheng waved his hand without even looking at him.

Liu Xingyue, "..."

Liu Yingyue glanced at the two of them, snorted in her heart, and looked at her family, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, you are going to Grandpa's house to give gifts, right? It's getting late, why haven't you left yet?"

The gift was a wedding gift for Liu Yingyue's wedding. According to the rules, she had to go to her grandparents' house to send the wedding invitation and announce the wedding date.
But Madam Liu hadn't decided whether to send the letter, so she was hesitant. But Gao Yucheng was still here, making things difficult for her. She immediately followed Liu Yingyue's words and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot. Young Master Gao, I'm sorry. We have something else to do today, so I won't keep you for tea."

After some false polite words, Gao Yucheng and Liu Xingyue were sent away.
-
Gao Yucheng left the Liu family's main house, lied that he had something to do at home, left Liu Xingyue behind, and rode his donkey alone to the Qin family.

Liu Xingyue stood at the door of the Liu family's main room, her eyes filled with tears, and she stamped her feet in anger, "Gao Yucheng, you are such a mean person who only cares about what he has!"

The more Gao Yucheng thought about it, the more he regretted that he shouldn't have listened to his father and agreed to marry Liu Xingyue.

He didn't like Liu Xingyue's temper, and he disliked her appearance even more.

He likes people like Liu Yingyue.

But Liu Yingyue was going to marry a poor cripple. When Gao Yucheng thought of Liu Yingyue's charming figure curled up in the arms of a poor cripple, he was furious.

With his blood boiling, he patted the donkey's back and came to the Qin family.

"Qin Dalang, come out!" Gao Yucheng shouted loudly outside the gate of Qin's courtyard.

Madam Qin Er, who was nearby, heard his shout and walked over with a smile, saying, "Da Lang's family is not at home. Isn't this Gao Xiao Lang? Is there something wrong? Tell me and I'll pass on the message to him."

"Where is he?"

"I'm not sure. There is usually no one at his house at noon." Madam Qin Er said with a smile.

No one is always there...

Gao Yucheng listened to these words, rolled his eyes, and walked away without saying a word, patting the donkey's back.
