Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife
Chapter 254 Replacement
Chapter 254 Replacement
"Uncle, Aunt, Xiaoshan might be playing around or something might have happened, so she's staying overnight at a friend's house. Don't worry too much. But don't let the villagers know about this yet, lest gossip spread and affect Xiaoshan's marriage."
Wei Qing's words served as a reminder to Liu Sufeng.
Many people in the village were envious of their marriage to the Zhao family.
Tomorrow the Zhao family will be visiting to exchange gifts. Who knows if some jealous person will go and spread rumors to the Zhao family and ruin their good deed!
Therefore, the Wei family did not make a fuss about Wei Shan not returning home, but quietly searched the village.
Of course, they couldn't find the person.
As night deepened, the Wei family members would usually be in bed by now, but today they were all huddled around the kerosene lamp, exhausted and overwhelmed.
"I wonder where that bastard Xiaoshan has gone. When she comes back, I'm going to give her a good beating!"
Liu Sufeng was furious, but her scolding couldn't hide her worry for her daughter.
She and Wei Shuan only had this one daughter, who was the youngest in their family, and she was their precious darling.
Wei Shuan wasn't too worried about his daughter's safety, thinking she was just being playful and would probably come back tomorrow.
His only worry was the Zhao family coming to pay their respects tomorrow.
What if the Zhao family arrives and their daughter is still not home? How should they explain this to the Zhao family?
“Auntie, Uncle, I know you’re worried about the betrothal ceremony tomorrow. How about this, if Xiaoshan doesn’t make it back tomorrow, I’ll wear her clothes and present the gifts to the Zhao family on her behalf.”
Upon hearing Wei Qing's words, the Wei family members couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.
Wei Shuan hesitated and said, "Will this work? What if the Zhao family recognizes you?"
The eldest brother, Wei Guojun, said, "Jingyang and Xiaoshan haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Xiaoqing's hair is similar to Xiaoshan's, so he probably won't recognize her for a while."
the next day.
The Wei family waited and waited, but Wei Shan did not return home. Seeing that the Zhao family was about to arrive, the Wei family had no choice but to have Wei Qing wear Wei Shan's clothes and impersonate Wei Shan to deal with the Zhao family.
At 9:30, the Zhao family arrived with their gifts.
Six bright red carrying poles were filled with pork, roosters, cloth, shoes and socks, cigarettes, alcohol, candy, eggs, and so on.
The villagers followed along to watch the spectacle.
In winter, there's no work to be done in the fields, and everyone's bored. They're not going to miss out on something exciting to watch.
As the Zhao family entered, Wei Qing quickly recognized Zhao Jingyang in the crowd.
Despite being mentally prepared, she was still disappointed when she met Zhao Jingyang in person.
Zhao Jingyang wasn't ugly, but he was too short, only 1.6 meters tall.
Compared to the tall and handsome Zhang Jiaming, she is far inferior.
The Zhao family was invited to the main room for tea. As for the things the Zhao family brought, they were all displayed in the courtyard for the villagers to see, which was also a custom of Lianhua Village.
The more elaborate the groom's betrothal gifts are before marriage, the more it shows that he values the bride.
In the hall.
Wei Qing stood behind Bai Chunyan with her head down and eyes lowered, her short hair covering half of her face.
The Zhao family thought their prospective daughter-in-law was just shy, little did they know that she was a complete "fake".
Seeing her son keep glancing at his future daughter-in-law, Zhao's mother said knowingly, "With so many of us here, the young people are feeling a bit awkward. Jingyang, why don't you and Xiaoshan go out for a walk and have a chat?"
Under normal circumstances, the Wei family would prefer their daughter and son-in-law to spend some time alone together to nurture their relationship.
But this daughter is a fake; wouldn't she be exposed if she made a sound?
Before Liu Sufeng could refuse, Wei Qing walked shyly up to Zhao Jingyang.
The Wei family members were all on tenterhooks, fearing that Wei Qing would be recognized by the Zhao family.
Fortunately, Zhao's mother didn't notice anything amiss and was quite happy to let her son and Wei Qing go out.
Watching Wei Qing and Zhao Jingyang leave one after the other, the Wei family members were all filled with anxiety.
But now that things had come to this point, they were at their wits' end and could only secretly pray that Wei Qing could get away with it.
At this moment, quite a few villagers were still standing outside the Zhao family's gate watching the commotion. The moment Wei Qing stepped out of the Wei family's gate and met the eyes of the villagers, she tensed up so much that her back straightened.
Although she knew there was a risk of being exposed, she had no other choice.
As long as she can get past the villagers, she can completely replace Wei Shan!
Most of the villagers' eyes were on Zhao Jingyang, after all, he was the first son-in-law from the city to come to the village.
A few people were also watching Wei Qing.
Wei Qing looked quite pretty today, wearing a red jacket, with drawn eyebrows and lipstick on, looking as festive as a doll in a New Year's painting.
It wasn't until Wei Qing and Zhao Jingyang had walked far away that the group of village women came to their senses.
"Hmm, why do I feel like that's not Wei Shan, but Wei Qing?"
"What kind of eyes do you have? How could it be Wei Qing? Would Liu Sufeng let Wei Qing go out alone with her son-in-law?"
"Yeah, maybe I'm seeing things wrong. Oh dear, I can't even tell these two sisters apart now."
Wei Qing and Wei Shan already had similar facial features, and they also had the same hairstyle, so they were always showing up in front of the villagers.
Like two oranges that look very similar.
At first, the villagers could tell who was who.
However, over time, people can easily experience visual fatigue, to the point that they can no longer distinguish one person from another.
When she reached the edge of the ditch and saw that no villagers recognized her, Wei Qing finally felt relieved.
"Xiaoshan."
Wei Qing turned her head and looked directly into Zhao Jingyang's eyes.
Even the villagers didn't recognize her, and she wasn't worried at all about being exposed in front of Zhao Jingyang.
Compared to her generosity, Zhao Jingyang appeared shy and timid.
"You look so beautiful today."
Wei Qing smiled slightly, "I'm glad you like it."
Zhao Jingyang was a little surprised, "Why does your voice sound different than before?"
Wei Qing remained completely calm. "My voice has always been like this."
Her composure made Zhao Jingyang uncertain.
He scratched his head and laughed, "Maybe I remembered it wrong."
The two stood by the ditch and chatted for half an hour until Liu Sufeng came out and called Wei Qing back to cook lunch.
Wei Qing prepared two meat dishes, three vegetable dishes, and a soup, filling the table with six dishes.
Seeing how capable and hardworking her future daughter-in-law was, Zhao's mother couldn't stop smiling.
After lunch, the Zhao family took their leave.
After seeing the Zhao family off, Liu Sufeng closed the door and slapped Wei Qing across the face.
Wei Qing's face was turned to one side after being hit, but she didn't make a fuss or cry. She just calmly covered her face and asked:
"Auntie, what did I do wrong?"
Liu Sufeng glared at her like a knife: "Did I ask you to keep the Zhao family in check for Xiaoshan, and to seduce Jingyang? Jingyang is your cousin-in-law. If I hadn't called you back, would you have pounced on him? Shameless thing!"
As a woman herself, Liu Sufeng sensed something was amiss when Wei Qing went out with Zhao Jingyang.
Not long after Wei Qing and Zhao Jingyang left, she also made an excuse to go out. Hiding in the shadows, she saw Wei Qing and Zhao Jingyang chatting and laughing, and she was furious.
"Auntie, I was interacting with Jingyang as Xiaoshan. How could I be seducing my cousin's husband?"
Wei Shuan spoke up to smooth things over, "Alright, the important thing is to find Xiao Shan as soon as possible."
