I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 223: Chapter 222: Money in the Bankbook

The big day arrived quickly.

Though it’s trendy to pick up the bride in a car nowadays, since Beisitian doesn’t have a family home, she simply skipped this step and went straight to the banquet.

The banquet began the evening before and continued until noon the next day. The ones in charge, which refers to the Luo family, had to have two meals.

Luo Anguo is an outsider, and only his brother, Luo Aiguo, was present, so it didn’t matter how many meals they had.

The banquet the evening before was purely a drinking party, so Beisitian didn’t need to wear formal attire. Normally, Beisitian would spend this evening at her family home, but special circumstances called for special arrangements.

The banquet on the second day was the real wedding feast. As the bride, Beisitian didn’t need to entertain guests, but Luo Anguo and his wife, as well as Luo Xudong, had to attend to guests from start to finish.

Drinking was inevitable, and Beisitian had solemnly instructed Luo Anguo not to touch a drop of alcohol. He agreed with a bitter smile; not drinking on such a day would certainly invite criticism, but since she insisted, she must have her reasons.

Beisitian also told Luo Xudong about Luo Anguo’s situation, emphasizing that drinking even on a special day would be harmful to his health.

Therefore, when faced with persistent guests, Luo Xudong had to step in for him.

Today, Luo Xudong wore a suit, which is quite uncommon in Kao Village or Qingzhou Town. His sharp features and deep-set eyes, paired with his handsome appearance in a crisp suit, made him shine radiantly.

Today, Beisitian wore a bright red qipao, with a high collar and gold silk buttons, the straight hem perfectly accentuating her figure.

Beisitian inherently possessed a certain elegance, a quality emanating from her core, and wearing this red qipao made her look divine.

The villagers gazed at this talented and beautiful couple with envy; they truly were the perfect pair!

Previously, because Luo Xudong single-handedly knocked down the Zhang family’s eight brothers, many people wanted to try getting him drunk at his wedding!

Everyone watched as Luo Xudong drank glass after glass, yet without a single change in his expression. Though he was a man of few words, he spoke confidently and walked steadily, showing no signs of intoxication.

Later, some doubted whether he was drinking watered-down alcohol or merely water, but upon verification, many were surprised to find out that Luo Xudong was indeed drinking genuine spirits!

This guy not only could fight but also could drink!

The feast lasted until two in the afternoon, and even when it ended, no one saw Luo Xudong drunk and staggering, he remained as composed as he was at the start, casually chatting with people.

What a drinker!

At this point, those who doubted him nodded their approval; based on his drinking ability alone, Luo Xudong was a true man!

From the previous night until now, Luo Er’s family hosted as many as eighty-eight tables for the banquet, unheard of in Kao Village!

Without comparison, there’s no harm. Besides Luo Xudong and Beisitian, Zhang Lianqiao also had a wedding in the same month, though a week earlier. Huo Laosan’s family only hosted a dozen tables, clearly indicating Zhang Lianqiao didn’t hold much weight in Huo Laosan’s heart.

Many compared the two, claiming Doctor Bei’s kind heart was why she found such a good man.

As the feast ended and the guests dispersed.

That night, a warm atmosphere filled the east wing room.

The two newlyweds sat silently on the bed.

Despite being married, facing each other like this brought a sense of embarrassment and awkwardness.

”Let’s sleep,” Luo Xudong suggested.

They couldn’t possibly sit there until morning, though saying it on their wedding night carried other implications, which was indeed Luo Xudong’s intention.

As he looked at Beisitian’s lovely face, he felt a surge of heat in his abdomen and a restless feeling in his heart, making it difficult for him to calm down and sleep.

Beisitian naturally knew what should happen on their wedding night, but she felt immensely tired, unsure of what to do?

Although at the banquet Luo Xudong was the one socializing, she hadn’t felt at ease all day, so when night came and the tension eased, sleepiness overwhelmed her.

Feeling Luo Xudong’s intense gaze, Beisitian didn’t even have time to feel shy before she collapsed into his arms, quickly falling asleep.

She really couldn’t endure any longer.

Luo Xudong caught her soft and warm body, his deep eyes showing a hint of helplessness. It took immense willpower to endure!

The feeling of seeing but not being able to have was truly a torment!

Helping Beisitian out of her clothes truly tested him; Luo Xudong’s strong willpower nearly shattered at this moment.

But seeing Beisitian’s sweet sleeping face, he had to hold back, tucking her in with a light blanket, then gently embraced her from behind, a faint smile gracing his lips, filled with a soft sense of satisfaction, as the two of them snuggled to sleep.

The next morning, Beisitian glanced at her side, and sure enough, Luo Xudong was already up, despite yesterday’s fatigue, amazingly, he had gotten up today.

When Beisitian reached the north room, Mrs. Qin had already prepared breakfast, and Luo Xudong returned soon after, Mrs. Qin waving them over to eat.

Having this family sitting together for breakfast was something Mrs. Qin had once imagined, thinking it would only exist in her dreams, but now it had become a reality.

After breakfast, Beisitian took out a savings book and handed it to Mrs. Qin, saying, ”Mom, this money is for you, including Ping’an’s tuition. There’s no need to save it for us.”

She worried Mrs. Qin might hesitate to spend it.

Mrs. Qin accepted it with a smile, but upon opening it and finding the amount, her expression changed and her hand trembled, causing the savings book to slip onto the kang bed.

”What’s wrong?” Luo Anguo asked, seeing her reaction, reaching out to pick up the savings book, flipping it open and glancing at it, then froze.

”Did I read it wrong...” Luo Anguo blinked rapidly and started counting the zeros on the page.

Mrs. Qin watched him eagerly, wanting to know if she too had read it wrong.

”What do you think, dear?” Mrs. Qin asked.

Luo Anguo glanced at her and then at Beisitian, shocked and speaking quietly, ”How could there be so much money!”

Seeing this, Luo Xudong took the book and, upon seeing the amount, his expression changed slightly — the balance was forty-five thousand!

He quickly figured it out; she must have sold the Double-sided Three-different Embroidery screen!

”Wasn’t it a shame to sell it?” Luo Xudong asked.

Beisitian smiled slightly, ”What’s there to regret? I was only waiting for a higher price. The piece is unique, and it may be worth more in the future, but there’s no need to wait.”

Luo Xudong knew she was concerned about leaving them without security when they leave, wanting to ensure his parents wouldn’t struggle.
