Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

Cao Meili watched Ling Jiuyue's retreating figure, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Zhigao, what did she mean by that?"

He Zhigao, fearing that Cao Meili would be influenced by Ling Jiuyue, said, "What do you care about her? She's just petty and can't take a joke. Even if the engagement is called off, she can't stand to see me doing well. Does she think I have such a good partner as you?"

Cao Meili laughed and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying! I'm not as good as you say!"

He Zhigao grasped her hand: "Meili, in my heart, you are just like your name—beautiful, wonderful, and kind-hearted. You are the wife I've always dreamed of marrying!"

Cao Meili was overjoyed by his flattery: "You...you're the same in my heart—handsome, refined, cultured, and caring!"

She was uneducated and longed to find someone cultured and good-looking. He Zhigao seemed tailor-made for her, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

Seeing that she was overjoyed and showed no signs of distress, He Zhigao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At his age, and after Ling Jiuyue's outburst, his family is heavily in debt, and his sister-in-law and mother are constantly arguing about it.

Several relatives also frequently came to cause trouble, especially his third uncle and cousin's families.

Thanks to Ling Jiuyue, matchmakers from near and far would shake their heads rapidly or demand exorbitant prices as soon as they heard that a girl was being introduced to their family or village.

It was fate that allowed him to meet Cao Meili.

That day, while out on the street, I happened to see a thief rummaging through Cao Meili's pockets.

A young man nearby seemed hesitant to speak up, which gave Cao Meili an opportunity. She rushed over, grabbed the thief, slapped him, took the wallet from the thief, and returned it to Cao Meili, winning her heart.

Cao Meili is from the next town. Although she is not as beautiful as Ling Jiuyue, she is still pretty and charming.

The key point is that Cao Meili's family is very well-off. Her father is a pig butcher, her mother works at the town's grain station, and her three older brothers are all married. The whole family dotes on this little girl.

Unlike Ling Jiuyue's family, which is full of maids, there's no one to help her when something happens.

He Zhigao's mother was also very satisfied with this: "I said from the beginning that Ling Jiuyue wouldn't do. Her mother's belly is full of girls, and her sister also gave birth to a girl. Just you wait and see, she'll definitely give birth to a girl too!"

The man was in love, and the woman was interested in him. Their relationship progressed rapidly, the wedding date was set, and they were preparing to buy wedding supplies.

Reaching the center of the street, Qin Shixiao asked Ling Jiuyue, "Were those words of blessing you just said to them sincere?"

Having spent so much time together, he could tell whether Ling Jiuyue was being sarcastic or not.

"Of course!" Ling Jiuyue affirmed, "What I said is true. The two of them... well, they are truly the most well-matched couple I have ever met."

Hey, that guy's selling sweet potato starch. I'll go buy some; my mom likes to use it to make jelly!

The young man selling sweet potato noodles noticed that there wasn't much left in the bag, so he asked Ling Jiuyue if he could buy it all.

"It's not much, probably around five pounds. I'll charge you four pounds, how about that?"

Ling Jiuyue didn't try to bargain with him: "Fine, weigh it for me!"

The young man never expected that after enduring the scorching sun for so long, he would encounter such a cheerful customer who not only gave Ling Jiuyue a whole bag of sweet potato starch but also gave her a tender pumpkin as a gift.

"You're a straightforward girl. This wasn't all sold out, so take it home and eat it!"

Ling Jiuyue smiled brightly: "Big brother, you have a kind heart; you'll be blessed in the future!"

The young man scratched his head sheepishly: "I...I'm just a country bumpkin with no real skills, what good fortune could I possibly have!"

"It will happen!"

This young woman would never know that because of the problems in her marriage with He Zhigao, which made it difficult for He Zhigao to find a partner, she stole the ill-fated relationship that originally belonged to this young woman at the market and met Cao Meili first.

As for Cao Meili, she was He Zhigao's retribution, but for this kind and honest young man, she was an endless nightmare.

In this life, he stayed away from Cao Meili, and he and his wife were loving and his children were filial.

And He Zhigao...

When Sun Yulan returned home, she spoke to Ling Guosheng about the Qin family, her words revealing her satisfaction.

"We really didn't know how to judge people before. We actually thought He Zhigao was a good guy. Compared to Xiao Qin, tsk tsk, they're worlds apart. He Zhigao isn't even worthy of carrying Xiao Qin's shoes!"

Ling Guosheng, arranging the herbs, chuckled and said, "You always seem like a nice person to everyone!"

Sun Yulan disagreed: "You're talking nonsense. I've figured out how to judge people now. This family has good family values, the parents aren't biased, that's why the brothers, sisters, and sisters-in-law get along so well!"

After dinner, Sun Yulan went into her daughter's room and asked in a secretive whisper:

"I heard from your brother-in-law that there's something wrong with that courtyard in the city. Did you break into it?"

"Hmm!" Ling Jiuyue knew that this kind of thing couldn't be kept secret, and she didn't intend to keep it a secret forever.

Sun Yulan's eyes held a hint of inquiry: "When did you learn these things? I had no idea!"

Ling Jiuyue sighed: "On the day I married He Zhigao, I had a bad dream that night. In the dream, an old lady seemed kind and gentle, but I couldn't see her face clearly. She kept telling me that I shouldn't marry He Zhigao."

I told you about it the next morning, and you even scolded me!

Sun Yulan remembers this incident: her daughter went to bed late the night before her wedding and got up before dawn the next day, feeling listless and unwell.

When Ling Jiuyue told her about the dream, she spat a few times, saying that she was too nervous.

"When I entered the He family's house, they made me kneel in the yard under the scorching sun. I felt unwell at that time and was feeling dizzy. Then I saw the old lady again. She said that I was disobedient and that I was afraid I would suffer a great calamity!"

When the He family was making a scene at the wedding, someone covered my mouth and took advantage of me. At that time, I had already fainted and felt my soul leave my body. I floated along with that old lady to a strange place.

She said that I was destined to be with her, and that my father and grandfather had done many good deeds, so they shouldn't have ended up like this. Therefore, she taught me some skills.

"This is such a strange thing, I didn't dare tell you. If my brother-in-law hadn't almost been murdered, I wouldn't want anyone to know about this!"

Sun Yulan stared blankly for a long time after hearing this: "So, the money you gave me when you came back last time, and your brother-in-law's business, were all arranged by you?"

"Um!"

Sun Yulan's eyes suddenly reddened, and she slapped her daughter's arm.

"You brat, how dare you! During those years of the 'Destroy the Four Olds' movement, you dared to make this kind of money. What if..."

"Aunt Sun, Dr. Ling, you must hurry... hurry to the Yang family's place! Your son-in-law... something's happened!"
