Chapter 344: Chapter 345: Taking Wedding Photos

Sun Yiliang’s face changed drastically upon hearing these words.

He quickly made an excuse, "Qingqing, you are still so young. Why are you in such a hurry to get married? You also know about my family situation.

It would just mean hardship for you if you married me. Let’s wait a little longer before getting married."

Xu Qingqing was immediately unhappy when she heard this.

"Sun Yiliang, do you not want to marry me? Are you planning to dump me after you get into university?

Don’t forget, without me, you wouldn’t even have access to these study materials.

And remember, if you dare not marry me, I’ll have my uncle refuse to stamp your documents. I’d like to see how you get back to the county then.

You won’t even qualify to take the college entrance exam."

When Sun Yiliang heard this, his expression immediately turned ugly, and a hint of resentment surfaced in his eyes. Seeing Xu Qingqing’s shameless demeanor disgusted him.

"Qingqing, are you threatening me?"

Xu Qingqing scoffed coldly. "Sun Yiliang, you were the one who used me first."

Upon hearing that, Sun Yiliang’s face became even more somber.

Xu Qingqing was nothing compared to Lu Daya. Lu Daya had always helped him and never thought about asking for anything in return.

She never even threatened him to marry her.

Yet here was Xu Qingqing, daring to blackmail him into marrying her with the threats of not returning to the county and not taking the college entrance exam.

Sun Yiliang felt not only anger but also a sense of powerlessness.

He struggled with himself for a while and finally nodded, "I agree to marry you, but I don’t have money for a wedding. We can get our marriage license first. After I get into university and find a job, we can have a proper wedding ceremony."

Xu Qingqing nodded. The formality wasn’t very important to her; having a husband who was a university student was something to boast about.

After they had discussed their plans, Xu Qingqing was eager to get the marriage license as soon as possible. She needed to get everything settled before Sun Yiliang went off to school, and then they could consummate the marriage promptly.

Inside the county photography studio—

Huo Chen and Xu Ying entered the studio, and the photographer quickly approached them. "It’s you who booked the wedding photo shoot today, right?"

Huo Chen nodded, feeling a bit nervous.

"Then come on in!" The photographer adjusted the camera and took a standard picture of them sitting together.

Then they stood together for another photo.

Huo Chen, holding Xu Ying’s hand, felt an unreal moment.

He had actually married Xu Ying.

Tears welled up in Huo Chen’s eyes.

As the photographer yelled "OK" and the camera flashed, Xu Ying quickly turned her head and kissed Huo Chen on the face.

The photographer’s face was full of shock: "This girl, how bold is she?

Quite playful!"

Huo Chen was also stunned, standing there feeling his body grow warm.

"Photographer, take a few more pictures."

Xu Ying was much more well-behaved for the following shots.

Soon, the photo session ended, and Huo Chen paid before they left the studio.

Both were in high spirits on their way back. Xu Ying felt a bit regretful. "It would be nice if my parents could be here too; we could have taken a family portrait."

The Xu family had only had one family portrait taken, and it was when she was little. In the past, life had been tough for everyone; getting enough food to eat was a struggle, let alone spending spare money on photos.

Huo Chen pursed his lips, "On our wedding day, let’s ask the photographer to take a family portrait for us."

"Are you going to hire a photographer?" Xu Ying was surprised. It wasn’t the 1980s yet.

Western-style weddings weren’t popular, and neither was hiring photographers to follow you around at weddings.

Huo Chen surprisingly wanted to hire a photographer.

"Um, I want to record the scene of our wedding so we can watch it every day."

Hearing this, Xu Ying felt moved for a moment and hugged Huo Chen’s waist tightly. "You’re so kind!"

Huo Chen’s body instantly stiffened, his mouth curved upward slightly. While feeling joyful, the softness of her body behind him made him uncontrollably warm.

"You came back so soon!" Mrs. Xu said in surprise when she saw her daughter return.

"Taking photos is quick." After getting off the car, Xu Ying’s beautiful eyes sparkled with stars.

Xu Qingqing watched with immense envy. Fallen tigers are persecuted by dogs until Yiliang graduates and finds a formal job.

Much more honorable than Huo Chen’s speculative maneuvers, who doesn’t do decent work.

Mrs. Xu pulled her daughter aside. "Qingqing is also getting married, but I heard there’s no wedding ceremony, something about being frugal."

It was just as well, yet that wretched girl dragged her daughter into this, proclaiming it’s not extravagant or wasteful.

It was clearly her own affair, lacking capability.

"Never mind her, Mom, you and Dad should also get new clothes. Huo Chen said he’d hire a photographer on our wedding day to focus specifically on recording the scene."

After Xu Ying finished speaking, Mrs. Xu exclaimed in delight, suddenly feeling proud, and turned to tell the people nearby, "Can you believe how romantic young people’s weddings are now?

Our Huo Chen will hire a photographer on the day to take photos and record the wedding scene."

Once Mrs. Xu said this, everyone in the village looked on with envy.

"Wow, Huo Chen is now making money, way better than some educated youths."

"Exactly, and to think some look down on our son-in-law, not knowing who’s really impressive."

Hearing this, Granny Qingqing’s face instantly fell, and she said irritably, "This is just wasteful extravagance. It hasn’t been long since our days improved, and you’re already being extravagant.

Unlike our Qingqing, just going through the motions, not hosting a wedding banquet."

Upon hearing Granny Qingqing’s words, the others scornfully smirked.

It sounds nice, but it’s just because her son-in-law isn’t capable.

Mrs. Xu scoffed, glancing at Granny Qingqing with undisguised mockery in her eyes. "Then your Qingqing is truly blessed to have found such a frugal man.

I hope in the future your son-in-law remains just as capable."

Granny Qingqing’s face turned shades of green and white. What did Mrs. Xu mean by that, deliberately making her family suffer, suggesting her son-in-law remain poor?

"Team leader’s niece, what are you talking about? Who are you looking down on?"

Mrs. Xu looked innocent. "Who am I looking down on? I just hope your son-in-law remains as honorable as he is now after marriage.

Granny Qingqing, why such a big reaction? I didn’t mean anything else. Could it be your words had double meanings?"

Granny Qingqing’s face turned redder than a pig’s liver, but she couldn’t express her frustration.

If she admitted her words had double meanings, wouldn’t that indicate she also looked down on her own son-in-law for being poor?

So embarrassing to admit.

She turned her face away, refusing to speak.

But Zhang Dacao, eating sunflower seeds, said, "Granny Qingqing, you can’t call her the team leader’s niece anymore, you should say village chief’s niece.

Her man is now the village chief."

Granny Qingqing felt even more disgruntled inside, sensing everyone’s gaze as mockery.

She glared at the villagers and walked away, feeling wronged.

Mrs. Xu watched her leave and pulled out wedding candies from her bag, distributing them to everyone. "Here, take some for good luck.

Don’t forget to come to my daughter’s wedding."

"Sure, village chief’s wife, don’t worry, we’ll definitely be there."
