The lead cyclist rode down the hillside, where the other nine cyclists were already lined up waiting. Seeing them come down, one of them whistled and teased, "Brother Hunter, you finally decided to come down."

"I never expected that Brother Hunter, such a rough guy, could be so romantic. No wonder he won the heart of a beauty. He's really amazing."

"Teach us how to coax our wives later, haha."

Wen Yao blushed even more and gripped Jiang Lie's waist a little tighter.

Jiang Lie's cool gaze swept over them: "Alright, stop joking around and hurry home. Remember to set off firecrackers all the way."

"The candy is all prepared. When you're scattering the candy, be careful not to hit the children while riding your bike."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Brother Hunter."

The motorcade headed towards the wedding home, with firecrackers going off all the way. Children ran towards the motorcade, reaching out to catch the candies that were being thrown down, and jumping and skipping when they saw the White Rabbit candy.

"Haha, I got a White Rabbit candy! I love milk candy the most, hurry up and grab one!"

The basket of sugar was scattered everywhere.

Jiang Lie stopped the car, picked up his wife, and carried her into the yard. The old woman stood in front of the brazier, calling out, "Bride, hurry up and step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck."

"Groom, hurry up and put him down! This brazier is for the bride to step over, not for the groom."

Wen Yao wasn't familiar with the customs of the countryside, so she gently patted his shoulder and said, "I'll get down and walk myself. We're supposed to step over the fire pit, aren't we?"

"No need, I'll carry you across the back. I've also come back from outside, so naturally I need to get rid of the bad luck."

"Shanzi, hurry up and turn the fire down. Are you trying to burn me today? This old lady is too enthusiastic."

Shanzi hurriedly dealt with the fire, and the fire in the brazier shrunk. Jiang Lie picked up his wife and bounced her up, then lifted his long legs and stepped over her, ignoring the stiff-faced woman behind him.

The captain and his wife were entertaining guests when they saw their son bring his bride back. They couldn't stop smiling: "Good, good, eldest son, take your daughter-in-law to the bridal chamber to rest."

"Make her something to eat later, so she doesn't go hungry."

Jiang Lie hummed in agreement: "Understood, Father."

Wen Yao buried herself in his broad chest and was carried all the way to the bridal chamber, where she was placed on the bed. He bent down and leaned closer, his eyes burning as he stared at her lips.

"Honey, you look beautiful today."

"Yes, I just put on a little makeup. I don't need to go out with you to entertain guests."

"No need for now, I'll handle the hospitality. I'll have Baozhu come and keep you company. I'll come back to pick you up when it's time to go out and offer toasts. Don't drink too much alcohol, it's too strong and you'll get drunk easily."

When Jiang Lie said this, the desire in his eyes was unfathomable. He didn't want his wife to be drunk before they slept together. He wanted his wife to feel his possessiveness and entanglement little by little while she was sober.

Wen Yao was startled by his murderous gaze: "Uh, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face? You look like you're about to bite me."

"...Ahem, no, it's just that you look so beautiful today that I couldn't help but stare at you in a daze."

"Alright, it's time to go and entertain the guests. You wait in your room, I'll have Baozhu come over."

"Okay, I understand."

Before long, Jiang Baozhu brought over the food, her face beaming with a bright smile: "Sister-in-law, look what delicious food I brought you! Big chicken legs, braised pork, meatballs, eggplant—all good dishes."

"Hehe, I got it from the freshly cooked food, it's absolutely clean, not leftovers."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement, looking at the large bowl of food: "Baozhu, there's too much food. I can't finish it all by myself. Why don't you eat with me?"

"Of course! Let's eat together. I love being with you, sister-in-law. You have such a beautiful smile."

"Ha, Baozhu looks beautiful when she smiles, as radiant as a sunflower."

Jiang Baozhu tilted her head: "Sunflower? It's a flower that grows from a sunflower seed, right? Then I'll plant some in the yard when I get back, so I can see it whenever I want."

Wen Yao hummed in agreement: "Okay, I like sunflowers too. They make me feel warm just looking at them, like a little sun."

"Hehe, sister-in-law, you have such a lovely voice."

Jiang Lie was greeting the guests at the front. When he saw Liu Dongmei bringing Lai Zi over, he remained calm and said, "Go sit over there. There are still seats available."

Liu Dongmei nodded: "Okay."

Seeing her husband looking around, her face darkened, and she raised her hand to slap him on the head: "What are you looking at, you rascal? Come sit with me."

Lai Zi scratched the back of his head, daring not to speak out in anger: "Oh, I know, honey, please don't pat the back of my head next time. It's very sensitive there. What if you hurt it?"

Liu Dongmei rolled her eyes: "It doesn't matter, whether you're bad or not, you're all equally stupid, what's the difference?"

"You...you're really disrespecting me."

"This is outside, I'm a man, you need to give me some dignity."

"Shut up, you're so noisy. Don't think I didn't see it just now. Your eyes were practically popping out of your head. Were you staring at that young wife breastfeeding? You shameless thing."

The leper's lips moved slightly, then he fell silent instantly.

Liu Dongmei snorted: "You better behave yourself, or see how I deal with you."

"..."

The older woman and the young wife at the same table saw this and teased her with a smile: "Dongmei, you're really capable. You've only been married a short time, and you've already got Lai Zi completely under your control."

"He still needs to get married, doesn't he? Look how settled he is now. He's not going to town anymore. My family needs to get a wife soon too."

"Dongmei, what clever method did you use to manage this?"

Liu Dongmei said with a half-smile, "Auntie Ao, what good ideas do I have? I'm just a virgin who married into this family, I don't have much experience."

"It's nothing more than reasoning with them. If that doesn't work, then use your fists. Men are tough and hard to kill. Do it a few more times, and they'll be very obedient."

The women's smiles froze. Looking at her fierce appearance, they swallowed hard and instantly abandoned the idea of ​​finding a formidable daughter-in-law. If they married her, who would be in charge of dealing with whom?

Not long after, at 11:30, Jiang Lie came out, supporting his wife. As soon as the two of them came out, everyone's attention was drawn to them, and they couldn't help but gasp when they saw Wen Yao.

He stared intently, his eyes filled with amazement.

Jiang Lie met their gazes, subtly pulling his wife behind him, a hint of coldness in his eyes. The crowd slowly came to their senses.

Unable to resist a sour remark, "Jiang Lie is really lucky. His wife is absolutely gorgeous; you won't find anyone more beautiful for miles around."

"That's right, that girl was so ugly back then, who would have thought she was a pearl? It's a pity that only Jiang Lie could tell."

Wen Yao was led by the hand as they went from table to table toasting. When someone tried to persuade her to drink, Jiang Lie stopped them and made her drink instead. She looked at him with some concern and said, "Ah Lie."
