Chapter 1140: Preparing to Go Home
The next morning, Chief Chang gathered a few elders and told them about this matter.
No one objected. In fact, they all agreed very much.
Hence, when Gu Xiaoxi and the others arrived, Chief Chang took the marriage contract and got the two of them to sign it to officially become husband and wife.
The moment Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya pressed their hand-prints, they inexplicably felt that they were related to each other. It was very subtle and… very joyous.
Even if there was no banquet, there had to be a dowry.
Chang Yaya only had three taels of silver in total. However, her family had a cage that her mother had brought when she married over. It was quite beautiful, including this.
Some of the clothes and blankets were really old and useless.
In the end, Chief Chang discussed with a few elders. Although they had decided to take back her original house after she got married, in order to compensate her for the grievances and injustice she had suffered previously, the clan still bought it for two taels of silver.
They even added two pieces of red cloth and a quilt. In this way, Chang Yaya’s dowry was actually much better than some girls in the village.
As for the betrothal gifts, they were just a formality. They would definitely not be handed over to the clansmen. In the end, they were all given to Chang Yaya.
As such, Chang Yaya’s own money was considered quite a lot.
Even the chief’s wife was envious. When she got married, her family did not give her so much money.
Once the marriage contract was signed, they would officially be husband and wife.
Chang Yaya’s hair was also tied up, and she looked different.
When the few of them returned to the Gu residence, Gu Yundong specially made room for the newlyweds. She pulled Shao Qingyuan and ran away. They still had to look for the village chief to settle the household registration first.
On the other hand, Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya sat alone in the room with uncomfortable expressions.
They clearly had a lot to say two days ago, but suddenly, it seemed like they could not say anything.
Seeing that they couldn’t stay silent any longer, Gu Xiaoxi swallowed his saliva and spoke first. “By the way, why don’t you agree to hold the banquet? If you’re worried that the Zhou family will cause trouble, we can set up two tables and only entertain close friends.”
“No, I just… don’t like it here.” Chang Yaya said, “I’ve lived in Great Rock Village since I was young. I don’t have any friends or relatives. Even if I’m supposed to invite someone, I don’t know who I should invite. If I set up a wine banquet, it feels like it’s just for fun. I don’t want to…”
Gu Xiaoxi understood. Although Chang Yaya had clansmen, she did not feel the warmth of her clansmen.
Not long ago, she was almost pulled out of the pond by these clansmen.
No one pleaded for her. No one believed that she was innocent. Everyone could not wait for her to die.
She was bitterly disappointed.
If she held a wedding, she believed that no one would sincerely wish her well.
If that was the case, there was no point in hosting a banquet.
Gu Xiaoxi fell silent. He couldn’t help but reach out to cover her hand and say, “In the future, I’ll dote on you and treat you well.”
Chang Yaya’s eyes were sour. Yes, now, she had a husband.
Moreover, this husband looked very good.
She looked up at Gu Xiaoxi and smiled again. The tears in her eyes fell without warning.
Gu Xiaoxi’s heart ached terribly and he reached out to wipe them away…
After Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan settled the matter, they began to consider whether they should return to the Gu residence.
If they went back like this, would they interrupt something?
“Why don’t we stay in the county for the night and come back tomorrow?”
“Alright, after we sell Uncle’s house tomorrow, we can set off home.”
