The bride was just helped up by Guest, and immediately, someone came over to move all the tables that had been placed in the center of the hall.
With Guest's assistance, the bride slowly walked into the crowd.
"Wow! How can the bride have such a big belly?"
"Has the bride already conceived?"
"Wait, didn't she just get matched with Bing Wencai? How could she already have a child?"
"Could she be a surrogate?"
...
Instantly, the earlier noise quieted down, turning into a chorus of murmurs.
One Guest who had just praised the bride's appearance pursed their lips and said, "So she's a surrogate, and she even brought the baby along."
The bride gently bit her lip, her face, which had been as red as a flower earlier, now turned somewhat pale.
"The bride is quite far along; the baby must be nearly seven months old, right?" Liu Xiuzhen squeezed through the crowd to support the bride and asked her sideways.
The bride shyly nodded.
"How about this," she said, searching the crowd for the shadow of Qing Shusheng.
Although Liu Dezhou, who sat in the center of the hall and spoke with the most authority in Liu Xiuzhen's family, was the most respected figure in Liu Family Village, Liu Xiuzhen's gaze quickly skimmed past him as she continued to look around for her man, Qing Shusheng.
In Liu Family Village, almost everyone listened to Liu Dezhou, including Qing Shusheng. Especially at home, Qing Shusheng followed Liu Dezhou's words almost without question, never defying him. Before making any decisions, Qing Shusheng would always approach Liu Dezhou to seek his opinion.
"Father, what do you think? Is it okay?"
"Mm, good!" Liu Dezhou nodded while puffing on his homemade pipe, a tobacco pouch hanging from his nose.
Since Liu Dezhou passed the head of the family position to Qing Shusheng, he also transferred his role as village chief to him.
Therefore, before making any decisions, Qing Shusheng would respectfully ask for his father-in-law's opinion.
"You can decide for yourself."
Liu Dezhou rarely offered any advice to Qing Shusheng; he always nodded in agreement with his decisions or simply said they were good.
Thus, in the eyes of the villagers in Liu Family Village, although Liu Dezhou no longer managed affairs, his prestige remained. So whenever there was something going on in the village, people still tended to consult him.
But Liu Xiuzhen was different; she admired her man, Qing Shusheng. Since the day she married Qing Shusheng, she had never consulted her father again. For any matters at home or outside, she would always seek advice from Qing Shusheng and follow him without question.
Because he was her man and the pride of the entire village.
“Qing Shusheng, Qing Shusheng, come here.” Seeing Qing Shusheng still busy outside the main hall, Liu Xiuzhen waved and called out to her.
Immediately, someone ran out and pulled Qing Shusheng, saying, “Sister-in-law is calling you!”
Qing Shusheng walked in and looked at Liu Xiuzhen.
“Look, with Cui Fen having such a big belly, it’s inconvenient for her to kneel on the ground for the ceremony, and we’re worried something might happen. How about during the ceremony, An Bingwen can do it alone while Cui Fen just bends over a little to show her respect? That should be fine, right?” Liu Xiuzhen looked at Qing Shusheng with hopeful eyes.
“Who arranged for them to have the ceremony?” Qing Shusheng asked sternly.
Because that red paper did not mention this part of the ceremony. How could a bride with a big belly participate in the ceremony when the child isn’t even An Bingwen’s? How could they proceed?
Seeing Qing Shusheng’s serious expression, Liu Xiuzhen couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered. “What’s wrong? I don’t know! Who arranged for the bride and groom to have the ceremony?” Liu Xiuzhen immediately looked up and asked the crowd.
