Chapter 354 The Second Daughter in the Historical Fiction 49
Next, Stone and the bride toasted the people in the courtyard.
The bride, her eyes red and swollen, followed behind the stone in silence.
"Stone, you're a lucky guy, marrying such a beautiful wife." The man looked the bride up and down, smiling in a somewhat lewd way.
Shi Tou was also quite pleased with himself. He laughed and said, "It's alright, it's alright. She's not as pretty as my sister-in-law. She only looks good today. She's usually quite ugly."
"This is ugly? Stone, your standards are too high. Even the emperor's fairy wouldn't be too bad if she looked like this!"
Hearing this, Shi Tou felt even more pleased, but he still humbly said, "Hey, hey, all of that is superficial. What I really see is that she's a person who lives a good life and isn't vain."
The other men shook their heads as well: "You're really lucky. It's so hard to find a woman who's good for a life these days."
Stone wholeheartedly agreed.
Soon they reached Song Xianyin's table.
Stone had already drunk a lot and his steps were unsteady.
"Hey, Uncle Fu, let me toast you. Besides my parents, you've been the best to me. I consider you my second father."
"When my parents went out to work, only your family was willing to take me in and give me food to eat!"
Stone pounded his chest, his voice rising: "Nobody else in the village pays any attention to me!"
The others sitting there ignored what he was saying and just ate the food on the table.
How disappointing, having to bring up old grievances on the wedding day.
Old Fu, putting on a parental air, said, "Hey, we're all from the same village, so we should definitely look out for each other."
The two drank several glasses of wine, and Lao Fu also felt a bit emotional.
“You were such a tiny little thing when you came to my house, and now you’re all married. I’m so happy to see you doing so well.” Old Fu wiped away his tears.
Stone's eyes also turned red.
Song Xianyin's lips twitched. What's she pretending for?
Back then, her father really disliked Shi Tou and wanted to get rid of him. He even said that her mother was meddling in other people's business. It was her mother who cooked the meals, but now the favor has fallen on her father.
Old Fu looked at the bride beside him and smiled: "Shi Tou is an honest man. You will definitely have a good life with him."
"But you must never disrespect Stone's parents, nor should you squander Stone's money. We are all farmers, and money is hard to earn."
Old Fu explained the rules to the bride: "Women, the most important thing in your life is to support your men. Only when you manage the household affairs well can your men work outside with peace of mind."
“You argue with Shitou at home and with Shitou’s mother. How can he feel at ease outside? Don’t you think Uncle is right?”
The bride kept her head down and didn't say a word.
Stone also looked at the bride, awaiting her reply.
But the bride remained silent, and the atmosphere began to become awkward.
Shi Tou's face grew increasingly grim, and just as he was about to speak, Lao Fu intervened to smooth things over.
"Don't fight, don't fight. It's such a wonderful day, she's probably just embarrassed."
Stone knew she wasn't embarrassed; she just looked down on him.
Why should she look down on him? He paid for it, he provided the money, so she's his woman for life.
As the newlyweds left, a flicker of disgust crossed the bride's eyes.
That night, the men in the village started making a ruckus in the bridal chamber again. Shi Tou felt a little embarrassed, but he was also too embarrassed to refuse.
The room was decorated with the character "囍" (double happiness) and several red candles, creating a festive atmosphere.
Stone and the bride sat on the bed, while the other men jeered, "Let's eat meat together! Hurry up and eat!"
Stone's mother blushed with joy and placed a piece of meat between the two of them.
Under the soft light, the bride across from him looked even more beautiful. When Shi Tou looked at her face, his heart was pounding.
"Eat up, Stone!" Stone's mom grinned from ear to ear.
Stone slowly bit into one side of the meat, looking at her expectantly.
Cheers erupted nearby, and several children peered out the window, watching the scene with a mixture of curiosity and shyness.
Old Fu joined in the fun, offering some bad advice: "Stone, why bite so little? Bite more!"
The man next to Lao Fu looked at him with some surprise: "Lao Fu, you usually seem quite decent, how come you become so improper after drinking a little alcohol?"
Old Fu raised his chin, pleased with himself for attracting the attention of others.
He shouted, "This is nothing! I experienced far more when I was young!"
Stone looked at Stone Mother, his ears turning bright red.
Stone Mother chuckled, "Silly boy, why are you looking at your mother like that? Take a bite!"
The bride didn't seem like a person, and no one cared about her thoughts; everyone just wanted to see the exciting scenes.
Everyone looked at the bride expectantly, but the bride bit her lip, showing no intention of moving closer.
The lights in the room swayed in the wind, and the candles slowly shrunk, creating a somewhat frozen atmosphere.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.
The smile on Stone's face froze, and he stared silently at the bride.
Seeing that something was wrong, Stone's mother went straight to push the bride.
"Come on, don't be shy, there's more to come later."
The bride struggled desperately, and in her panic, she pushed Stone's mother to the ground.
"Ouch!" Stone's mother accidentally bumped her waist on the table, wincing in pain.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more awkward.
With a cold face, Shi Tou ate the meat in his mouth. Before anyone else could react, he grabbed the bride by the neck and pressed her firmly onto the bed.
"You jerk, you're asking for it, aren't you?!"
Shi Tou was so angry that his face turned pale. He had been humiliated in front of so many people. What had he done to offend her?
We spent so much money to buy her, and so much money to throw the banquet, what else could she possibly be dissatisfied with!
Stone's mother was so frightened that she quickly stopped him, lowering her voice: "Stone, we've spent a lot of money on this woman!"
They've invested all their life savings. If he beats this woman to death, how will they ever have the money to buy a wife?
The bride gripped his hand tightly, her face contorted in agony. Seeing that Shi Tou still wouldn't let go, Shi Tou's mother yelled, "Let go! Who cares if she submits or not? Tonight, once she's naked, and a few months later when she's pregnant, let's see if she's still so arrogant!"
She urged the villagers who were there to watch the spectacle to go home, saying, "Everyone, please go home first. The couple is embarrassed to have you all here."
"Girls are easily embarrassed, please be understanding."
A chorus of boos followed, and they were driven away at the most exciting part? They'd really come all this way for nothing, seeing absolutely nothing.
"Look, everyone's been through this, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
"I'm not watching anymore," Stone's mother said with a forced smile.
Then the daughter-in-law was gone.
