Chapter 543: Chapter 547: Erhu Gets Married_1
"If they wanted to cause trouble, wouldn’t they find a reason anyway? It’s always this place or that place that’s not right. You’ve been very kind to your sister-in-law, but she doesn’t appreciate it."
Qiao Duo’er offered words of comfort.
It would be a relief to divorce a daughter-in-law like that from Bao’s as soon as possible, so it wouldn’t be a constant headache.
She just hoped Huang Zhong was serious and, once this matter was settled, would go and propose to Hu’s Clan.
Then, with the family lovingly united, Aunt Huang’s health would naturally improve.
Mentioning this, Aunt Huang’s nose felt sour, so she quickly said, "Children and grandchildren have their own luck; I’m old and can’t manage so much. Today is Erhu’s big happy day; let’s not talk about these upsetting things."
Here people were celebrating, and yet she was sighing and lamenting. Wouldn’t that be annoying to others?
"Right, Aunt Huang, can you help me find some people to go up the mountain to dig for herbs? Just wash them clean; no extra processing is needed. Five Wen Money per pound," Qiao Duo’er decisively changed the topic.
Aunt Huang said with difficulty, "There aren’t many literate people in our village, and even fewer know about herbs."
Asking them to help gather herbs was indeed asking too much.
"They’re all common medicinal herbs, easy to recognize. I’ll bring you a sample later, and you can show it to everyone."
Herbs like Bai Zhi and Bai Ji were very recognizable and abundant; hiring people to gather them was the most cost-effective approach.
Once musk is produced next year, Duo Meifang will definitely open officially. She had to take the opportunity now to stock up on more herbs.
Aunt Huang then readily agreed, "Alright, that’s settled."
The Tan Family was now prospering, leading the villagers to wealth was a good thing, preventing a crowd of jealous folks from fabricating stories behind their backs.
"But you have to remind everyone not to dig everything up at once; otherwise, there’ll be no money to be made next year," Qiao Duo’er specifically instructed.
Even though the ecological environment was good now, one still couldn’t be too carefree. Many families in the village relied on those mountains for their livelihood.
Aunt Huang took this matter to heart and thought that it would be best to seek help from some younger daughter-in-laws.
It was almost the Afternoon Hour, and Sun Erhu was getting restless.
But the feng shui master had said that he could only leave the house at Three Quarter of Afternoon Hour, and the wedding ceremony should be at Rooster hour. Today felt incredibly long!
Had today’s sun gone wrong?
"Erhu, is there a nail on your stool or something?" Er Ya timidly asked.
Otherwise why would Uncle Erhu keep shifting about?
Sun Erhu’s face turned red: "I... I’ve been bitten by a bug on my behind."
"Er Ya, don’t listen to his nonsense. He’s just anxious to bring his bride home. Let’s go take a look at today’s bride and later tell him how beautiful she is."
After saying that, the elder girl dragged Er Ya to the next house. It happened that she could stir up some trouble when they went to receive the bride.
Sun Erhu wanted to stop the elder girl, but in his haste, he knocked a water cup off the table.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly and didn’t wet his wedding outfit.
"A man to be married should behave with dignity," Tan Zhenghong kindly reminded.
Sun Erhu pursed his lips. "That’s rich coming from you, who was so excited you even buttoned up wrong." n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
Qiao Duo’er raised an eyebrow; it seemed there were quite a few things that happened during her wedding that she didn’t know about.
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, Brother Hong was so embarrassed that day..."
Tan Zhenghong cleared his throat, "There’s still the wedding chamber mischief tonight."
Sun Erhu immediately shut his mouth. As the saying goes, a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; he couldn’t waste gold, right?
Before they could talk much, the elder girl ran back in a hurry.
"It’s terrible, Lin Xiaobao has burned Chao Lian’s clothes and hidden her jewelry. You guys better go take a look."
