Chapter 229 The Melancholy of Marrying Off My Sister

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Lu Yuanhuan will be married into another family. From then on, all her time and energy will be devoted to the Gu family.

To be honest, the dowry prepared for Lu Yuanhuan had clearly exceeded Lu Yuanqing's budget and plan.

He had no idea that there were so many rules and regulations involved in preparing a dowry for someone.

He felt that if someone had the ability, they certainly wouldn't want to mistreat Lu Yuanhuan.

But after seeing the dowries and betrothal gifts in the village, he used to think they were very meager.

Therefore, the first person in the family to get married, and whose husband is also well-off, naturally wants to prepare a proper wedding.

Either don't prepare anything, or if you do, follow all the usual customs and traditions.

The 688 yuan dowry brought by the Gu family naturally needs to be given to Lu Yuanhuan.

The bicycle and sewing machine also need to be taken back by Lu Yuanhuan.

Lu Yuanqing prepared a house for Lu Yuanhuan, along with new cabinets, a new washstand, three thick and three thin quilts, six quilt covers, two sets of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and other miscellaneous items.

Driven by this sense of pride, Lu Yuanqing spent almost all of his family's savings.

Once Lu Mingxi and Lu Yuanhuan start working, they will send two-thirds of their monthly salary home.

Lu Yuanqing had been saving it all along, originally planning to add a little more when they bought a house in the future.

But, as the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes!

The two of them hadn't been working long, and they didn't send much money home.

Actually, the majority of the money comes from Lu Yuanqing's savings and the village's annual dividends.

However, Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi have already signed their identification documents and other documents at their workplaces, so in principle, they shouldn't be entitled to the village's dividends.

Currently, the village's dividends are distributed on a family basis, not on an individual basis.

Lu Yuanqing was willing to give them a share, so they got one.

Lu Yuanhuan was in a hurry to get married, so finding a place to live was urgent. Coincidentally, she came across two adjacent houses, so she had to buy them immediately, otherwise it would be a pity to miss out!

But the thought that Lu Yuanhuan and Lu Mingxi had their houses sorted out, and Lu Yuanbo in the village also had his own house, made Lu Yuanqing's head spin with worry as he thought about all the children he had to raise.

This is the downside of having too many children; when you're setting up a household, you have to prepare so many things.

Having only one or two children would be so great; now all these problems are solved, and I feel so much lighter.

But the Lu family still has so many children.

Getting married and buying a house almost emptied the family's pockets.

Lu Yuanqing finally understood what it meant to be under immense pressure!

On her wedding day, Lu Yuanhuan wore a red woolen coat and small leather shoes.

The closer it gets to the last few days, the more I feel the sorrow of parting.

Lu Yuanhuan and the others cried their hearts out, tears streaming down their faces.

At the beginning of this November, Lu Yuanhuan will be given someone else's surname and will appear in someone else's household registration.

In the future, if Lu Yuanhuan wants to go home, that home can only be her husband's family home, or the house that Lu Yuanqing bought for her.

Returning to the Lu family home in Shihua Village, it can only be referred to as returning to one's maternal home.

She said she was fine and that her family would always keep a room for her, but there was a different feeling.

"Stop crying. When the Gu family comes to pick up the bride, they'll see you crying so badly and think you're unhappy with the marriage!" Lu Yuanqing said helplessly.

It's said that a girl's family cries uncontrollably because they can't bear to see her get married, but no one has ever said that someone cried for days because they couldn't bear to see their younger sister get married.

What kind of behavior is it for a grown man to cry and whine endlessly!

Lu Yuanbo touched his eyes; they were a little swollen from crying so much in the past few days.

"I can't bear to leave! I already had less time to go home during my university years, and now that I'm married, I'll have even fewer opportunities to go home!" Even when I do go back to my parents' home, I can't stay for more than a few days!

We grew up together, and I always heard her call me "Fourth Brother." She was so obedient and sensible, and now she's going to someone else's house.

What if someone bullies her? It's so far away; even if we need to settle scores or get someone's support, it will take most of the day to travel there.

Lu Yuanqing was speechless: "Can't you hope for something good? What fighting! I think Gu Yushan is a good person, he wouldn't do something like beating his wife!"

He's a public official, after all. Is it really necessary for him to do something like this?

"That's what I'm worried about!" Lu Yuanbo said. "The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. I can't get there in ten minutes to support my little sister. Even if she marries far away, I'm worried!"

Lu Yuanqing sighed, "The matter is already settled, there's no use worrying about it. Don't think the worst of people. Besides, Xiao west is still in the city. Do you think she'd let anyone bully Xiao Huan, given her abilities?"

"Instead of worrying about the past and the future, you should go and check your dowry to see if it's all covered with red paper. Find something to do instead of crying in front of me!"

Lu Yuanbo was rejected and left by Lu Yuanqing. Lu Mingdong, who had been quiet all along, sighed, "My aunt got married just like that. I still find it a little unbelievable!"

Lu Yuanqing: "You'll get used to it. This is how it is when you grow up. Your aunt will get married, then your sister will get married, and then your fourth uncle will get married and move to his new home. One by one, everyone will gradually have their own little family. Our big family will become smaller and smaller, but that doesn't mean anything. You'll get used to it!"

These past few days, Lu Yuanqing has felt increasingly melancholy.

It feels like she's my own daughter. We eat together, go to work together, chat and laugh together, and it seems like it will always be like this.

But suddenly, she got married, and even moved to the city. After that, we saw each other less and less throughout the year. It was a really unpleasant feeling.

But no matter how unpleasant it felt, it couldn't stop anything.

"I don't want to leave home!" Lu Mingdong seemed to understand the feeling Lu Yuanqing was expressing.

Lu Yuanqing smiled and ruffled his hair, saying, "When you grow up, you'll get married too. You can't keep living with your third uncle forever!"

Lu Mingdong is still young, and he can wait until the day he sees Qing. Lu Yuanqing cannot predict what kind of life he will have then.

However, leaving home is a necessary journey for a grown man.

"You're still young, don't think about so much now!" Lu Yuanqing said with a smile, rubbing his arm.

Lu Mingdong lowered his head and remained silent.

Actually, the whole family was a little reluctant to part with them.

This feeling of sadness, stemming from having relied on each other for survival, is palpable in the hearts of all members of the Lu family. The sudden thought that their loved ones must leave home and become someone else's family evokes a profound sense of melancholy.

The second day of the eleventh lunar month is sunny and auspicious for weddings.

Early in the morning, just as dawn broke, the groom's wedding procession arrived at the Lu family home.

"Third Brother, you can rest assured to leave Xiao Huan in my care! I promise I'll treat her well. Otherwise, you can come to my workplace and cause trouble anytime!"

Gu Yushan actually has a good speaking ability.

However, in this environment, he prefers to express his true feelings with his sincerity, even foolishly using his secure job as collateral.

“I believe you!” Lu Yuanqing said.

You can still trust the police these days.

Moreover, Lu Yuanqing wasn't afraid that he had other intentions. At that time, not to mention the other members of the Lu family, he alone could kill him!

"Come, come, everyone, have some tea, some wedding candy, some melon seeds, and sit down for a rest!" Lu Yuanqing warmly invited the guests.

Following custom, Gu Yushan generously gave red envelopes to the three younger members, Lu Mingdong, Lu Mingxi, and Cheng Xia. He then solemnly swore an oath to Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo. Amidst the cheers and jeers of the wedding party, they gathered in front of Lu Yuanhuan's room.
