Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 305: 305 Maternal Family

Zhao Yanping was very skillful, and in no time, she made two big red flowers and sewed them directly onto their clothes.

This added even more to the feeling of a new marriage.

Tan Shaoting held Su Yuanyuan’s hand with excitement, happiness, and a touch of guilt in his eyes.

What’s this guilt about?

At this moment, the three families of the Zhao Family arrived. The road was not easy to travel, and there were three pregnant women and a small child, so taking a cart over was the safest option.

Xiao Ling had grown up. After getting off the cart, she was arranged to sit on the kang, looking at her little sisters beside her.

Ma Changshun and his wife came. They also came by donkey cart.

Zhao Qingxiang quickly went out to welcome them, considering himself as part of the bride’s family.

Tan Shaoting also came out. Ma Changshun’s wife looked at this spirited young man, dressed in new clothes with a big red flower on his chest, feeling a twinge of envy.

The eldest daughter had often mentioned wanting to marry Xiao Tan, but this young man got lucky and left the farm. Now he had a very good job.

The most important thing was that he looked good, spirited, and presentable.

Nowadays, there’s no superstition about brides not seeing pregnant women.

So Sun Yun welcomed Ma Changshun’s wife.

Inside, they saw the bride in a new outfit, also adorned with a big red flower.

Ma Changshun’s wife sighed internally, wondering how her daughter could compare with others. Xiao Su was pretty, tall, and most importantly, capable.

A girl who could do the work of a full-grown strong laborer was not something other girls could compare to.

It’s no wonder Xiao Tan chose Su Yuanyuan.

”Auntie, come up on the kang; it’s too cold outside,” Su Yuanyuan said with a smile.

Now Zhao Xiaojing and Qi Xue Mei were already sitting on the kang.

They both smiled and chatted with Ma Changshun’s wife, inviting her to sit on the kang.

Now they were just waiting for Feng Baoshan. It wasn’t that they deliberately took their time, but this marked the official proof of their marriage, which was good for Su Yuanyuan.

The food outside was almost ready, with two tables set up.

The women sat on the kang eating dried fruits and chatting happily.

These were southern fruits, so of course, they tasted especially good here.

The men were in another room chatting, and when Feng Baoshan and his wife arrived, all the guests were there.

Ma Changshun walked beside Feng Baoshan, quietly asking how much to give as a gift.

”Just two yuan. That way, it’ll be easier to reciprocate in the future.”

Knowing that the couple didn’t care much about money, Feng Baoshan understood the gesture was recognizing the marriage, which was good.

Many families on the farm paid attention to Su Yuanyuan, but they all knew since she arrived, she had been living with Tan Shaoting, so everyone had been watching.

Now that they were married, there was less gossip.

The two tables were in one room, the women on the kang, the men below it. There weren’t many stools, so everyone stood to eat; they were all considerate people who wouldn’t argue over seating.

Though there was no alcohol, the food was substantial.

The young couple stood on the ground, bowing to everyone, thanking them.

They also received everyone’s blessings, marking the completion of the wedding.

Actually, their wedding was quite grand by farm standards, as usually, a family meal suffices because the past few years were tough.

Plus, there were no locals here, as everyone came from elsewhere, so there weren’t many relatives around.

The braised pork was refilled twice, and everyone was satisfied with the food.

”Who made this pork stew? It tastes great,” Feng Baoshan’s wife asked with a smile, genuinely curious.

”Auntie, I made this stew; just added all the seasonings.”

”The pork is well-cooked and delicious. Who knew Xiao Su had such skills? Xiao Tan has indeed married a treasure.”

Everyone laughed, but Zhao Yanli hadn’t said a word.

As the meal was ending, Zhao Yanli put down her chopsticks, ”Tan Shaoting, I’m Yuanyuan’s sister, her family. If you’re not good to her in the future, I won’t let you off.”

The room fell silent.

Zhao Qingxiang also put down his chopsticks, ”Yes, Xiao Li is right. We are indeed Yuanyuan’s family. Tan Shaoting, no matter how capable you become, if you let Yuanyuan down, we will seek justice.”

What Zhao Yanli said was different from Zhao Qingxiang.

After all, in this context, the Zhao Family’s authority was Zhao Qingxiang.

Zhao Qingjie, Zhao Xiaojing, and Zhao Yanping also nodded.

Tan Shaoting stood up, ”Don’t worry, I will never wrong Su Yuanyuan in my life. I swear I will prioritize her above myself, putting her first.”

Su Yuanyuan stood up too. When Tan Shaoting made his vow, she felt a mystical sensation.

”I, Su Yuanyuan, will also be good to Tan Shaoting for a lifetime.”

Tan Shaoting once said they were Cultivators and subject to the Heavenly Dao’s rules, so their vows would be recognized and overseen.

Feng Baoshan stood with a smile, ”I can’t say I watched them grow up, but when they came, they were young. Over the years, I’ve seen what they are like, and I know they’ll be happy. I also wish them a lifetime together.”

Everyone offered another round of blessings.

After the meal, Su Yuanyuan divided the remaining dried fruits, cornbread, and braised pork with Feng Baoshan and Ma Changshun.

Both gave Tan Shaoting two yuan each, which he, of course, didn’t want to accept.

”Xiao Tan, you should accept this money; it’s a wedding gift, different from others.”

”Yes, Xiao Tan, this one is different.”

After thinking for a moment, Tan Shaoting accepted it. Yes, this money had a special meaning.

After seeing off the two families, Su Yuanyuan took out half a bag of dried fruits, claiming it was brought back by Tan Shaoting and shared it with five other families.

The Zhao sisters helped Su Yuanyuan clean up everything.

They knew Su Yuanyuan liked things clean, so they cleaned very meticulously.

It wasn’t until after two o’clock that they all left.

Now the house was left with just the newlyweds.

Tan Shaoting sat holding Su Yuanyuan on the kang, smiling as he pulled out four yuan. ”This is from Feng Baoshan and Ma Changshun.”

Su Yuanyuan also smiled, taking out what the Zhao Family had given, which was a bit more, ten yuan each family. The Li Family gave even more, twenty yuan.

”I have to keep a gift ledger, so we can give back when others have events.”

”They are all married.”

”There will be other joyful occasions.”

The house was quite warm today, mainly because there was a lot of firewood burning.

”Yuanyuan, let’s rest,” this way of holding her was quite a temptation for Tan Shaoting.
