The open-air movies would start after dark, but the Lin Family's son-in-law had brought a tape recorder with him to play a festive song. Ignoring the fact that it was already setting up a stage, he would start pulling the curtains very soon.
The Li Family's wedding, which was barely considered lively, had been completely wiped out by the Lin Family's high profile. Their momentum had been reduced to nothing.
Li Da He and his wife were gnashing their teeth in anger, but it was useless taking the Lin family away. Li Da He held his face as he greeted the guests, while He Ju Hua had to arrange the Lin family next door whenever they met.
Everyone had already lost their balance in their hearts over this matter, unconsciously leaning towards the Lin Family. Only the Li Family and the rest of the Lin Family would agree to this.
It was clear that the Lin Clan was different from the others, and they had such a grand reputation. Who would still talk about the Lin Clan at this time? Since there was no way to leave the Li Clan to join in on the fun, they could only awkwardly remain silent.
Dinner was still being held at the Lin Clan's five tables, and all of them were guests of the Lin Clan.
Initially, the Li family had also gone all out to hold the banquet with the Lin Clan. However, it was a pity that there weren't as many guests as the Lin Clan, so they placed five tables at the end of the day.
In addition, the Lin Family was going to have a movie going on, so the festive music outside started. There were only a few children who came out to watch the show, so the guests at the table were a bit absent-minded.
If you want to eat sweets, the Lin Clan has it; if you want to see a bride, the Lin Clan has it too.
Furthermore, Lin Pei Lan was even better looking than the new bride Li Wenjie. Everyone noticed that and didn't say anything, silently cursing the Li family for having lost such a beautiful daughter-in-law just because they had their eyes on the lady Fang family.
What's more, the Lin Family had movies that the Li Family didn't have, and the Li Family didn't have any distinguished guests that could speak their mind. The Lin Family did as well.
From the day Chen Jianguo and Lin Peran's marriage ceremony began, this banquet had already determined that the Li family would lose.
No matter how much the Lee family slapped their faces to make up for the fatty, their ostentatiousness could not compare to the people of the city.
Li Dahe and his wife forced themselves to greet the guests, and they also tried to comfort the bride and her brother-in-law.
When the sky turned dark, he pulled a wire from the Lin Family Courtyard and went out. Along the way, he installed three to four electric lamps, brightening up the dark night as if it were day.
The movie began to play. As soon as the title song of the most popular movie began, men, women, old and young all gathered around.
The Lin family sat in the best seats in the front row. Lin Pilan was very attentive, as there were a lot of mosquitoes this summer. She even went back to get a few old pottery pots, which she used to burn some wormwood to repel mosquitoes.
Granny Lin always went to bed early. Tonight, she sat down with Aunt Lin and a few other aunts to watch a movie.
The title song continued to play happily. There were many people watching the movie. It was really quiet as long as there was the lively music and the rustling sound of the tape.
The first one was still a color movie, "Life Is Wealth". The actors were still vividly performing. The people watching the movie were also watching it, crying and laughing. The sound of it could be heard far away, echoing in the overlapping night sky of the mountain range.
Before the Li family's courtyard had even finished its feast, everyone was already unable to sit still anymore. They ate in a hurry, and there wasn't even a single word to be said in the banquet.
Li Da He was greeting the guests to a meal. With a smile on his face, his stomach was already cursing loudly.
He believed that today's wedding was caused by the Lin Clan. Otherwise, why would they be in such a hurry?
"The groom, the bride, and toasts!"
It wasn't easy for them to get a toast, which meant that the banquet was about to end. Everyone was immediately excited.
Everyone said a few words of blessings. After the five tables of wedding wine ended, the two newbies did not go back to their rooms, and the people in the village had all left, leaving only a few helpers, women who were on good terms with He Chrysanthemum, and the Li brothers' sister-in-law had not left. They had no choice but to stay behind to clean up the mess. Even the few unknown guests from the Li Family did not know that the Lin Family and the Li Family had annulled their engagement. They only knew that they would have their wedding wine according to the time, and now that there was a movie going on next door, they could not afford to miss the liveliness and would all run out to see a movie.
The Li family members' faces were black. He Ju Hua had even started scolding. The bride felt like she had lost face for the entire day. She looked at the messy yard with all kinds of flavors before covering her face and entering the house.
Unlike the others who were burning with anger, Li Wenjie was exceptionally calm after his bride caused a ruckus in the grain drying field.
There was neither joy nor sadness on his face. It was impossible to tell that this was the person who had gotten married today. At this moment, his family was scolding the Lin Clan for not being human.
"Hehehehe …" He Zu Hua, who was laughing coldly and scolding others, could not help but stop.
"You all have the face to scold the Lin Clan …" Li Wenjie was still smiling like before, which made people's scalps tingle. He pulled the button that was buckled to the top and said with a desolate look in his eyes, "We are reaping what we sowed. Serves us right!"
"Wenjie!" Are you drunk? "Nonsense!"
Li Da He loudly berated, he had never seen anyone talk about his family like that before. Today's matter was obviously the Lin Family taking the limelight, so what if they said something?
"I'd rather be drunk!" Li Wenjie followed up, "Drunk you can't see how you've lost face, drunk you can't see …" I don't want to see it.
The girl who had belonged to him was married, and the bridegroom was not him; and his bride was not the girl.
The most ironic thing in the world was the people who had sworn that they would be married on the same day, but not to each other.
Li Wenjie felt that his heart was empty. All he had left behind was a repellent shell. In the end, he should not have …
He shouldn't be greedy and shouldn't give up so easily.
"He's so drunk!" Hurry back to your room and sleep. Stop spouting nonsense! "
A wise son should not be like a mother. When He Ju Hua heard Li Wenjie's words, he immediately understood what he meant.
Looking at his expression, it was clear that he had not let go of the Lin Clan member next door!
Afraid of something bad happening, he quickly called for Li Da He and the Li family's brothers to bring Li Wenjie back to his new room. After locking the door from the outside, they directly entered the bridal chamber.
The key was that everyone had gone to the movies, so no one could cause a ruckus.
The new room was quiet for a while, then there was a crackling and a swearing from the bride.
The bride's brother-in-law was interested in going over to take a look, but was stopped by He Ju Hua.
The new room wasn't like He chrysanthemum thought. Li Wenjie drank a lot of wine on the mat, and when he was toasting, he didn't refuse anyone. Now he was really drunk, and didn't have the ability to do anything.
Seeing that the door was locked, he stumbled forward and roughly swept away the dried fruits on the table, which had a good meaning to it. Then, he roughly swept the fruits on the table to the floor.
Crackling noises came from the plate and dried fruit on the ground. Liu Xuemei wasn't afraid of Li Wenjie, that was only the refined Li Wenjie of the Qing Dynasty, and not this man who had gone insane from alcohol.
