After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies-Chapter 90: Just Bury It
Chapter 90
Early in the morning, Zhi Xia was already up.
She wore borrowed military uniform, with not so long hair coiled at the back of her head. After putting on the cap and pinning a big red flower on her chest, her gentle eyebrows and eyes showed a dashing spirit.
Although borrowed, in this era being able to wear a military uniform for the wedding was a great honor.
An Zhiren carried Zhi Xia out of the door. Because the two families were quite close, Pei Jing led Zhi Xia to take a detour on two more streets nearby before going back, with two groomsmen following behind. They were Pei Jing's buddies. Along the way, they occasionally threw candies, arousing scramble of nearby children.
Gao Dalin and Gao Second Sister hid among the crowd watching the scene. Especially Gao Dalin, his eyes were burning with anger.
"This cheap slut is really lucky to marry into riches and honor from now on. We'll live a good life. How can we let her go so easily?" Gao Dalin cursed and said, "That An MeiYun is also a useless thing. I was still hoping to get her to arrange jobs for us by pestering her. Now, she died herself in such a miserable way."
Being detained and stung to death by poisonous insects in broad daylight, it would be a joke to say it out.
Gao Dalin even suspected someone had done it on purpose. Otherwise how could the poisonous insects sting her alone and ignore others?
What kind of poisonous insects could kill her with one sting? He heard that she died instantly without time for rescue.
The An family was even more excessive. A living person was gone, they just notified him to collect the corpse and only gave 20 yuan for funeral expenses.
Bah!
They were a dignified family, yet so stingy.
20 yuan and they still wanted her properly buried. An JingZhi and Zhou Nan definitely didn't expect that after Gao MeiYun's corpse was taken back by them, she was not even buried in their family cemetery. She was directly buried in a hole dug in the wild hills, without even a tombstone, just covered evenly as if she was trash.
Gao Second Sister was also jealous, but she had completely inherited Gao Dazhuang's deep and sinister heart. She knew that just the two siblings were absolutely unable to cause any harm to the current Zhi Xia.
People should know their limits. When powerless, they had to be honest, otherwise they would end up like Gao MeiYun.
She didn't want to die yet, so she forcibly persuaded the furious Gao Dalin to go back first and talk later.
When they went to collect MeiYun's corpse from the An family yesterday, she took the opportunity to visit her room and found something nice.
With this stuff, she didn't have to worry about hard days in the future.
What she needed to do now was wait, wait patiently.
With the sound of firecrackers crackling, Zhi Xia was welcomed through the door of the Pei house.
The wedding banquet held by the Pei family was not sumptuous at all, with only three tables in total. One table was occupied by the bride's family, one table was for the bride, and there was only one table left for their close relatives and friends.
However, many neighbors came to join the fun. Afraid someone might make troubles, Old Pei had made preparations early and asked Wen Qing to come along too. Zhi Xia held him in her arms all the time.
Zhi Xia didn't have many girl friends either. Old Pei had asked the Zhou family to bring Zhou Zhi Zhi and Zhou Yuanyuan along. Plus Pei Xiang who took up the task, the three girls surrounded Zhi Xia all the time and protected her well.
At the toast, her cup was also filled with tea.
Although not grand, the wedding proceeded very smoothly.
It was over in half a day. Other people also left.
Zhou Zhi Zhi and Zhou Yuanyuan worked together to add two pillowcases for Zhi Xia, which was the most expensive gift they could offer.
When the Zhou family people left, the two girls reluctantly followed to leave.
Zhi Xia thought perhaps she should be grateful that Gao MeiYun's unpleasantness in the past left no one in the family missing her after she returned, except her biological parents who couldn't bear to part with Gao MeiYun.
While Zhi Xia was gentle and likeable, she obtained the love of all family members except her parents.
Although her second and third brother were a little indifferent, they were also very generous to her and never opposed her.
Zhi Xia could avoid drinking, but Pei Jing really couldn't escape and was tricked by the groomsmen to drink quite some.
Fortunately everyone was appropriate and didn't really let him get drunk, just a slightly flushed face.
Seeing everyone leaving, Pei Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Pei went up to him and said, "Today's wedding was a bit shabby. I discussed it with Grandpa An beforehand that with the raging chaos recently caused by the special agents, it would be inappropriate for us to celebrate extravagantly. So we could only do it this way. Go back and explain more to Zhi Xia. Although it is understandable, she was still wronged. And you, getting married makes you an adult. Zhi Xia is still young. As a man, you should take on more responsibility for the family. Be nicer to her in daily life instead of frowning all the time. Even an old man like me feels upset seeing that, let alone a young lady. Understand?"
Pei Jing looked at the old man and nodded.
But he sighed helplessly in his heart.
He had long known marriage would be troublesome and never thought about it. Even urged by superiors in the army and elders at home, he remained unaffected.
But in the end, he still couldn't escape this hurdle.
He was also confused about the future.
As a man, he would naturally not neglect his due responsibilities. But due to his profession, he also deeply understood his own flaws.
Zhi Xia was still young. He could indulge and dote on her when with her, but he would also have times away from her, having to face household trifles and childcare alone.
Also, he didn't know if he could satisfy her. Facing the harsh environment over there after going to the army, could she still stick to her place?
The future had not happened yet but he had to consider it in advance.
Inside the new room, many melon seed shells were thrown around and children ran around making the table very messy.
Pei Xiang came over with a broom to sweep the floor. Zhi Xia tidied up the table. The two chatted and laughed harmoniously.
Pei Xiang had just finished sweeping and put away the broom. Pei Shuangshuang came in frowning, "We are so busy outside and you get to relax here?"
The bowls, chopsticks and tables borrowed from neighbors for the wedding had to be washed clean and returned, without extra help hired for the simple wedding. So currently no one in the Pei family was free.
"How am I relaxing, I was about to go out after sweeping the floor." Pei Xiang said and then told Zhi Xia: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to go out. I'll go help."
She wasn't lazy. Grandpa had asked her to stay with sister-in-law today.
As for Pei Shuangshuang, Old Pei knew her reckless personality was simply unsuitable for this task.
Pei Shuangshuang was still dissatisfied and wanted to provoke her more, but Pei Jing came in so she didn't dare say anything else, only turning around to leave.
She was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhi Xia. Just shortly before, she had heard her mother urging her elder brother to please Zhi Xia, saying a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse, who knew how many good stuff the An family hid in secret, plus the guilt of An's elder couple towards Zhi Xia. Marrying this daughter-in-law back would definitely be worthwhile.
But then, she heard Zhi Xia didn't become her sister-in-law, but instead became her auntie. f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m
Pei Shuangshuang had originally planned that if Zhi Xia really married her elder brother, she would certainly try to get on Zhi Xia's good side if there were any treasures in her hands. But now all plans fell through.
