Chapter 479 Wedding Venue
Gong Tianhao planned to hold a western-style wedding in Taoyuan Village.
Taoyuan Village was a remote place, but Gong Tianhao didn’t want to mistreat Xiao Lingyu. He had ordered the best of everything in the world and transported them over by helicopter. The wedding venue was managed by a professional. The professional chose an empty spot near the drying field as the venue. The empty spot was part of the drying field, but the village didn’t need such a large space, so it was left empty.
The space was covered in weeds and needed to be tidied up.
This was an easy problem to solve. Gong Tianhao hired the villagers, and they followed the professional’s instructions. Since this was going to be a natural wedding, some of the wildflowers could be left behind. However, the messy weeds had to be cleared. With hundreds of villagers helping, the empty field was instantly cleared out.
Furthermore, when the villagers heard that the space was going to be used for a western wedding, they were excited. They had never attended a western wedding before.
Dazzling and beautiful flowers were flown in by Gong Tianhao from the famous manors in country L. The planner added balloons and streamers too. Soon, the venue was ready.
The villagers exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful!”
Someone beside them echoed, “Yeah, it’s really too beautiful. We’ve only seen western weddings on television. Now that I’m seeing it with my own eyes, it’s really an eye-opener for me. They are more beautiful in real life.”
The faces of those unmarried girls were even more envious.
Who wouldn’t want a wedding that was unforgettable?
They also hoped that one day, they could get married like this.
To be honest, they had seen the cultural and traditional weddings at Taoyuan Village many times. They had grown tired of it. Of course, they also hoped that one day, their wedding would be different.
At the same time, these girls were even more envious of Xiao Lingyu.
In fact, Xiao Lingyu had always been the object of envy for these daughters since they were young Xiao Lingyu was doted on by her parents. Her parents had never favored her younger brother because she was a girl. On the contrary, Xiao Lingyu’s parents loved her a lot. Even her younger brother loved his sister very much.
The other girls were forced by their families to work after they finished junior high. They needed to work for the family. They were asked to save money for their brothers’ dowry. Some of the girls were forced by their parents to marry before they were eighteen for the sake of the betrothal gifts. Of course, the betrothal gifts would be used as their brothers’ dowry.
Some of the village girls went out to work, but they still had to send their wages back every month. In fact, some of the parents didn’t want their daughters to get married so that they would get her monthly salary.
In the countryside, if a girl wasn’t married after they were 20, they would be criticized. They would affect the reputation of their maiden family.
However, Xiao Lingyu didn’t have that problem. Xiao Lingyu wanted to go to university, so her parents did everything they could to support her.
Xiao Lingyu started dating when she was fifteen, and she had no intention of getting married even when she was in her twenties. Her parents never urged her, giving her the greatest freedom.
Even when Xiao Lingyu came back from the big city and was pregnant with an unknown child, her parents didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, they protected her even more carefully.
The love that Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying had for Xiao Lingyu made all the girls in the village envious and jealous. But in the end, they could only sigh.
Why did their parents value sons so much more over daughters but the Xiao Family didn’t have that mindset?
The Xiao family had two daughters now. Xiao Lingyu and Xiao Lingyun had grown up with the love and care of their families.
When Xiao Lingyun got married outside of Taoyuan Village, her parents and grandparents were so worried about her that they moved to accompany her.
Xiao Lingyun had given birth to two daughters. The whole Xiao Family doted on them like they were treasures.
The daughters of Taoyuan Village lamented why weren’t they born into the Xiao Family.
Now that Xiao Lingyu had married so well, the girls were even more envious.
How could someone’s life be so good? She was born into a loving family and now was going to marry into a wealthy family.
“How nice it’ll be if this is my wedding when I get married?” A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl looked at such a beautiful wedding venue with envy in her eyes.
“I want a wedding like this too,” another girl next to her said with starry eyes, “Flowers, balloons, and streamers are floating in the air. It’s even more beautiful than what we saw on TV.”
“Yeah, this wedding venue is really beautiful. The groom is so rich and handsome. I really envy Sister Lingyu!” Another girl exclaimed with envy. “How can sister Lingyu be so capable? She’s beautiful, well-educated, and now she’s going to marry a rich man.” The last point was the thing that made them envious the most. They grew up in Taoyuan Village, which was once the poorest village in the entire county.
They had lived a hard life since they were young. They ate plain rice and salted vegetables. All year round, apart from holidays, they didn’t see any meat.
Even when there was meat, they had to give them to their brothers.
Therefore, ever since they were young, they had a wish. They wanted to find a good husband and a rich man.
However, marrying a rich man was easier said than done.
Many daughters had been married off already. How many of them found a rich husband? They still had to worry about their daily necessities. Having children made them even more frugal.
“After Sister Lingyu marries Young Master Gong, she’ll be the mistress of the Gong Family.” A young girl with two small braids and a red cloth said enviously, “The Gong family has many servants.”
By now, the villagers knew that the only masters of the Gong Family were Old Master Gong and Gong Tianhao. The others were maids and servants. This showed how rich the Gong Family was.
“Yeah, that’s true. I heard that the car driven by Mr. Yue, who serves Young Master Gong, is worth millions.” Actually, the car was worth tens of millions. They didn’t want to scare the villagers, so they told them a much lower price.
“They’re so rich.”
“That’s right. Once Sister Lingyu marries into this family, she’ll enjoy a good life!”
“Sister Lingyu is really lucky! She also has many friends who are rich!”
“Sister Lingyu is beautiful and educated. Her friends are naturally different.”
Four to five young girls were chattering enviously at the side. Besides them, many people were busy.
Gong Tianhao did not help out. He just watched from the side for a moment and then frowned.
Why?
Because he was not satisfied. He felt like something was missing.
Then, when he saw the rumbling plane above his head, his eyes lit up.
Then, he took out his phone and made a call. After giving a few instructions on the phone, he hung up.
When he hung up the phone, he slightly lowered his head and met Xiao Xiaohui and his little friends’ sparkling eyes. The corners of his mouth twitched.
Then, Gong Tian reached out his hand and stroked Xiao Xiaohui’s fluffy little head. He asked with a smile, “Little Loach, what’s up?”
Xiao Xiaohui said with some dissatisfaction, “Big brother-in-law, today is your wedding day. You can’t call me by my nickname. You should call me by my name. Little Loach doesn’t sound nice on this happy day.”
At this time, Xiao Baozi immediately said, “Little Loach, just now you called me Little Bun. Why can’t big brother-in-law call you Little Loach?”
What could Little Loach do when his friends sabotage him?
Xiao Xiaohui glared at Xiao Baozi with his small eyes and said somewhat angrily, “I’m your good friend. I call you by your nickname so that we can be closer. But big brother-in-law is different.”
Before Xiao Xiaohui could finish, Xiao Baozi curled his lips and said, “Your big brother-in-law will be closer to you by calling you by your nickname too.”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
Xiao Xiaohui, “…”
Little Loach was tired and didn’t want to deal with him.
He looked at Gong Tianhao with his bright eyes and said with a smile, “Big brother-in-law, you and big sister are getting married today. Will we get angpao?”
When there was a wedding banquet, the children would get angpaos. So naturally, these brats were most concerned about that.
The corners of Gong Tianhao’s mouth twitched. ‘So this is the real purpose.’
Gong Tianhao stroked his furry little head and asked with a smile, “Little Loach, what do you think?”
Old Master Gong had already asked about some of the rules in Taoyuan Village.
The Gong family naturally didn’t want to look down on the villagers of the Peach Blossom Village. There were some rules that they would definitely abide by.
For example, all the children attending the banquet would receive an angpao. Xiao Xiaohui patted Gong Tianhao’s hand and said unhappily, “Big brother-in-law, stop rubbing my hair. You’re messing it up. I woke up early in the morning to comb my hair to appear handsome at Big Sister’s wedding. I even used some of my mom’s hair gel.”
Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Xiaohui, and the corner of his mouth twitched again. Then, he said in amusement, “You’ve used hair gel. No wonder it’s so hard to mess it up.” He tussled Xiao Xiaohui’s head again.
Xiao Xiaohui, “…”
His friends, “…”
Xiao Xiaohui was so pitiful. His beautiful hairstyle was messed up so badly.
Xiao Xiaohui rolled his eyes and said helplessly, “Big brother-in-law, you’re so childish!”
Gong Tianhao, “…” Damn Brat, who is the childish one?
When Gong Tianhao saw a group of people coming to look for him, he smiled and said, “Someone is here for me. I’m busy now. You all can go and play.” Xiao Xiaohui couldn’t give up since his goal hadn’t been achieved.
He asked again, “Big brother-in-law, you haven’t told us yet. Will we get any angpaos today?”
In any case, to the children, getting angpaos was the happiest thing.
Gong Tianhao laughed and asked, “What do you think?”
Gong Tianhao left, leaving behind a group of slightly depressed but still very curious children.
“Little Loach, so, do you think we’ll get any angpaos today?” Xiao Yueya asked in puzzlement.
Xiao Xiaohui blushed slightly and said with certainty, “Humph, we will definitely get angpaos.”
