Reborn 73 years later, he takes his mother-in-law hunting in the mountains.

Chapter 655 My Girlfriend Got Married, and the Groom Wasn't Me

Song Zhe is now completely subdued by Zhao Balai and his gang.

If he misbehaves, I'll take him to a gang fight.

He was terrified.

When Lu Yao got married, Zhao Balai took him along and insisted that he give ten yuan as a wedding gift.

He was so frustrated that he didn't sleep for half the night.

However, he has now come to see Lu Yao's power and connections.

The county head is here, along with several bureau chiefs.

With this kind of power, let alone in Jiapigou, even in Shuiling Town, or even in the entire Jiangzhou, which ordinary person has such a lot of influence!

He was angry to see Yu Lu and Lu Yao getting close, but Yu Lu didn't even recognize him.

Lu Yao pulled Ding Mei inside.

He sensed a strange gaze from the crowd ahead.

This man was more than half a head taller than the average person, with a tall and robust figure and sharp eyes.

When he wasn't smiling, his gaze was chilling, radiating a murderous aura that only those who had been on the battlefield and killed people could sense.

Lu Yao looked over.

As expected, Yuan Tianchu has arrived.

Beside him was a somewhat dejected Yuan Hai.

At this time, Fan Suzhen also returned to Yuan Hai's side.

Wearing a thick coat, Yuan Tianchu stood out like a tiger among sheep when he stood with his hands behind his back in the crowd.

Seeing Lu Yao looking over, he smiled slightly.

Raise your left hand slightly as a greeting.

Lu Yao smiled back at him.

A slight sense of unease arose within me.

This unease seems to be the first time I've felt it since my rebirth.

Even when facing the ruthless bandit Zhang Mazi and the formidable opponent Lin Dong, he never failed.

However, the atmosphere around them quickly overshadowed it.

The bride stepped over the fire pit.

Then, led by Matchmaker Zhao, they went to the courtyard to begin the wedding ceremony.

Although Lu Yao and Ding Mei were not arranged by Zhao the matchmaker, she was quite knowledgeable about wedding ceremonies, so Jiang Guizhi spent two yuan to hire her to help with the arrangements.

"Time to step over the fire pit!"

Matchmaker Zhao shouted at the top of her lungs.

There was an iron basin by the door, with charcoal burning inside, the flames glowing red.

Lu Yao led Ding Mei forward, and Ding Mei carefully stepped over.

Lu Yao asked with concern:

"Is your leg completely healed? Does it still hurt?"

"It's alright, I can even get through the Flaming Mountains!"

This made Lu Yao laugh.

It was also touching.

Ding Mei's words made it clear that she was not afraid of any obstacles if she married him.

"Alright, alright, let's move on and have a prosperous and successful life!"

Matchmaker Zhao called out with a smile.

The crowd cheered in unison.

Only one person shed tears.

It's Zheng Wenli.

Standing in a corner where no one was paying attention, his eyes were always fixed on Ding Mei.

Even without seeing her face, one can sense Ding Mei's appearance.

His mind was filled with every little detail from the past.

Every smile and frown of Ding Mei was right before my eyes.

At their first encounter, Ding Mei's charming glance stole his heart.

Later at the Ding family home, Ding Mei drove Lu Yao away, wanting to do what a man should do. That moment was a beautiful sight he would never forget!

Now, the woman he loves is about to marry someone else.

Tonight, I'm going to fall into another man's arms and enjoy some tenderness!

Zheng Wenli became increasingly heartbroken and cried.

Zheng Wenli's father, Zheng Baoli, pulled his son aside:

"Don't be so pathetic. I brought you here so you could mature a bit!"

Zheng Baoli came to give a gift at the request of his wife, Li Yinping.

Lu Yao left her with some face, so she wasn't exactly grateful to him, but she was also afraid of offending him.

I'll give a gift and get closer to Lu Yao; at least he can help the Zheng family keep their secret in the future.

Firstly, I was afraid of losing face if word got out, and secondly, I was afraid that Lu Yao and Zheng Wenli would talk about it.

Zheng Baoli brought Zheng Wenli along so that he could witness Ding Mei's marriage and give up on her, thus finding relief.

Zheng Wenli was heartbroken, but he did not give up hope.

I came here to see Ding Mei more often.

Each of them had their own worries.

Seeing Ding Mei clinging to Lu Yao like a little bird, he felt so sad that he couldn't bear to look anymore.

He walked out, looking lost and dejected.

Zheng Baoli quickly followed and stopped him.

Just then, they ran into Shi Mengyi, the female leader who was standing outside.

Although Shi Mengyi was new, she remembered that Zheng Baoli was the head of a subordinate unit.

"Hey, Director Zheng, where are you going?"

Zheng Baoli quickly smiled apologetically:

"I'm just... taking a casual stroll."

Shi Mengyi nodded: "I heard there's a banquet going on, and it's made with wine brewed in Jiapigou. Let's go to the winery and take a look."

"Okay, sure!"

This female leader was very domineering, and Zheng Baoli dared not disobey her. He pulled Zheng Wenli along and followed Shi Mengyi toward the brigade headquarters.

Shi Mengyi had been here before and remembered the way.

As they walked, Zheng Baoli glanced at Zheng Wenli beside him:

"Who is this?"

"My son, Wenli, greet him. This is Team Leader Shi."

Zheng Wenli was absent-minded and didn't hear what his father said at all. What did "shit team leader" and "piss team leader" mean to him? They were not important.

Zheng Baoli was so angry that she kept glaring at him.

Shi Mengyi also turned her face away and stopped paying attention to Zheng Baoli.

In the Lu family courtyard.

The passageway was covered with red paper, leading all the way to the main house entrance.

At that time, if you couldn't afford a carpet, you would use red paper instead, and that felt like a luxury.

Lu Yao led Ding Mei through the red paper as they walked inside. The area was packed with people, some familiar and some not, all craning their necks to look.

Lu Yao led Ding Mei through the red paper as they walked inside. The area was packed with people, some familiar and some not, all craning their necks to look.

A saddle was placed at the entrance of the main house, covered with a red cloth.

Ding Mei stepped forward, and Zhao the matchmaker called out from behind:

"May you walk on the saddle and live a peaceful and safe life!"

A square table was placed under the window in the courtyard, with a pair of red candles lit on it.

Jiang Guizhi sat on the left chair, smiling, but her eyes were a little red.

The chair on the right was empty; it was reserved for Lu Yao's father. The man was gone, but the seat had to remain.

Lu Yao pulled Ding Mei to the table and stood there.

Matchmaker Zhao followed in, cleared her throat, and shouted loudly:

"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Lu Yao and Ding Mei turned around and bowed towards the main entrance.

The onlookers outside cheered.

"Bowing to the parents a second time!"

The two turned back and bowed to Jiang Guizhi.

Jiang Guizhi stood up, reaching out to help, then pulled back, muttering to herself:

"well."

Tears welled up uncontrollably.

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Lu Yao turned around and faced Ding Mei.

Ding Mei, her head covered by a red veil, was also facing him.

The two bent down at the same time, their heads almost touching.

There was another burst of laughter outside.

"Send them to the bridal chamber!"

After Zhao the matchmaker finished calling out, Lu Yao led Ding Mei into the house.

Red double happiness symbols are pasted on the door of the new house, and red paper is pasted on the windows.

Lu Yao pushed open the door, led Ding Mei inside, and had her sit down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

"You stay here, I'll go out and greet the guests," Lu Yao said softly.

Ding Mei nodded, her face burning hot beneath the red veil.

When Lu Yao came out, the courtyard was already bustling with activity.

Jiang Guizhi was talking to several women when she saw him come out and quickly waved:

"Hey kid, your Uncle Xu is looking for you."

Accountant Xu Zhaotian squeezed through, grabbed Lu Yao, and deliberately raised his voice:

"Company Commander Lu, there's something I need to discuss with you."

"What's up?"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Zhaotian, who was about to speak.
