Chapter 243: 243 and Big Boss Get Certified (Part 1)

Ye Cheng wanted to say, "Set it for tomorrow night." But with so many elders around, it was difficult to voice that: "I was thinking, the sooner the better, especially since Xiaofeng’s belly is starting to show now, and delaying would be bad for Xiaofeng."

Su Lao Guaizi understood the meaning in Ye Cheng’s words and knew that he would leave here in a few days. Xiaofeng had just gotten married and her husband was about to leave, which left him, as her father, feeling inexplicably conflicted.

But Xiaofeng had a point, her belly was growing bigger, and a child born out of wedlock would be undocumented. Marrying Ye Cheng and getting the certificate would at least mean the child wasn’t undocumented.

"I mean, let’s forget about a full-on banquet, just a simple meal with just our families would suffice. I’m pregnant, and having a big wedding wouldn’t look good. Dad, don’t you agree?" Xiaofeng, knowing the elders intended to arrange a large feast.

Forget about having a grand banquet; there is no need for that.

Both families should just have a simple meal; it’s not like it’s a real marriage, why make it so grand?

Ye Cheng’s lips twitched, somewhat helplessly.

"Ye Cheng, what’s your view?" Su Lao Guaizi obviously knew there was no need for a grand wedding. Even if they had one, once Ye Cheng left, everyone would still gossip about Xiaofeng regardless.

"I’ll follow Xiaofeng’s wishes. If Xiaofeng wants to do it big, we’ll do it big. If she wants it low key, we’ll keep it low key."

Uncle San and his wife, listening to Ye Cheng, were quite relieved. They had previously thought that Lord Liu and Doctor Ye were reticent and hard to communicate with, but now, they seemed approachable.

"That would work too." As long as both the man and woman agree: "Set a date, and we’ll come on time to celebrate the wedding."

"Xiaofeng and I are thinking of hosting a few tables at my home tomorrow noon, we’ll go and get the certificate first thing in the morning, and come back for lunch," Ye Cheng thought, as rural folks seemed to have reservations about dining in the evening, so he had decided to shift the mealtime to noon, albeit a bit rushed.

"That’s fine too." With not many people, just a few tables, they could definitely prepare by tomorrow.

"Ye Cheng." Now becoming Xiaofeng’s man, naturally, he wasn’t just Doctor Ye anymore: "Your grandfather agrees, right?"

Although he was from out of town, everyone had gotten a clear sense of the character of Doctor Ye and his grandfather over the years; outsiders were quite okay too.

"Grandfather particularly agrees." Ye Cheng wanted to say that his grandfather particularly admired Xiaofeng and had had this intention for a long time.

"I felt that the dowry was a bit much," Uncle San, as an elder, felt there was still something to be said: "It’s much more than our local standard."

"I also think it’s too much, it’s burning a hole in my pocket," Su Lao Guaizi placed the banknotes on the table.

Ye Cheng laughed, hearing for the first time someone complaining about too much dowry; this family was just too honest: "No worries, Grandfather made some money in his early years, and this dowry was prepared well in advance."

He Ximei served the dishes and, hearing their discussion about the dowry, glared at Su Lao Guaizi: "You’re too stubborn, why can’t you think flexibly? Just prepare a generous dowry for Xiaofeng in return."

They’re giving you so much for the dowry, but you just have to keep it for yourself. Doesn’t a daughter deserves a proper dowry when getting married?

Guaizi smiled sheepishly, "Right, I still need to arrange for the dowry."

Su Peng, listening to everyone’s conversation, was somewhat baffled: "Is Xiaofeng going to be a bride?"

"Yes, your sister’s going to be a bride, aren’t you happy?" He Ximei looked at her elder son, feeling a wave of helplessness.

If Pengzi’s mind hadn’t been damaged, he would probably be a father of several children by now. How could he still be unmarried like now?

Getting a wife would be the best, but if not, it’s fate, alas.

Su Peng clapped his hands joyfully, "My sister’s going to be a bride, my sister’s going to be a bride."

Xiaofeng watched her brother’s happy expression, a slight smile curling her lips. In three more months, a plant that could repair neurological damage would grow in the space. Once it emerged, she could treat her brother’s condition.

After his recovery, who knew what he would be like; whether he would meet a woman he liked.

After dinner, Ye Cheng went straight home, and Uncle San’s family did as well.

Upon reaching home, Uncle San saw that his second brother was already at his house waiting for him.

Seeing them enter, Uncle Er snorted coldly, "Their family is certainly in the spotlight now, and you guys are fawning over them. What did he ask of you?"

Yes, Guaizi’s family is now in the spotlight, while Guisheng’s family has fallen on hard times. Even if Guisheng’s family were down, it still wasn’t Guaizi’s family’s place to look down on Guisheng.

In a nutshell, no matter how much money Xiaofeng could make, she would still belong to her in-laws’ family in the future and couldn’t outshine Guaizi here. So there was really nothing for Guaizi’s family to be proud of.

Uncle Three sat down, rolled a cigarette, and held it in his hand, "Second Brother, why think like this? Our three families are essentially one big family. Guaizi said Xiaofeng is going to register her marriage with Ye Cheng and has invited us to visit."

"That Dr. Ye Cheng?"

"Yes, him." He was quite surprised too.

"Xiaofeng does have some skills, even hooking up with him. That Dr. Ye doesn’t look stupid either; how could he fall for Xiaofeng?" Second Uncle spoke a bit harshly.

Listening to this, Uncle Three’s expression darkened, "Second Brother, you’re Xiaofeng’s uncle; talking about her like that doesn’t befit an elder."

"Old Three." Second Uncle didn’t think he was saying anything wrong, "Guisheng and Donghua said that Xiaofeng isn’t really Guaizi’s child."

"Whether she is or not, as long as Guaizi hasn’t said anything, we, being the elders, shouldn’t say anything either." Xiaofeng was raised by Guaizi’s own hands, as long as Guaizi acknowledged her, no one else could say anything.

"You just want to flatter her, it’s embarrassing," Second Uncle said disdainfully.

"Second Brother, Xiaofeng and Ye Cheng are going to register their marriage tomorrow. They’re hosting a few tables for lunch at Ye Cheng’s place. Guaizi will surely come to inform your family too. You better know what should and shouldn’t be said. Don’t make it awkward for everyone."

"Enough, all of you just see that my family isn’t wealthy right now. You’ve all grown wings and even dare to lecture me." Second Uncle stood up, "I and Guisheng won’t shamelessly flatter them."

Guisheng now suspected that the bracelet was switched by Xiaofeng herself; if not, their family money wouldn’t have been stolen.

Watching Second Brother leave, Aunt Three sighed helplessly, "I used to think that even though Second Brother favored Guisheng, he still understood some things. Look at him now; he doesn’t reason at all."

If the elders don’t reason, it looks very bad in the eyes of the younger generation.

...

Early in the morning, Xiaofeng was about to leave the house with her household registration book and ID card when Ye Cheng arrived at the door. Seeing Xiaofeng come out, they exchanged smiles.

"Ye Cheng." He Ximei looked at Ye Cheng, thinking how exceptionally handsome he looked today, dressed in a white shirt and burgundy vest, his hair neatly combed like a wealthy young master from the TV dramas.

Ye Cheng frowned upon seeing Xiaofeng in her unchanged clothes, "You didn’t change your clothes."

"I’ll change when I get to the city." Xiaofeng actually didn’t want to change; yesterday’s bridal outfit was a bit too ostentatious for her, "The photo for the registration requires very formal attire; they might not let me take it if I wear that."

He Ximei dragged Xiaofeng back home, "Xiaofeng, look, Ye Cheng has changed clothes; you should change too. If they won’t let you take photos, you can change back, okay?"

Xiaofeng: "..."

Soon, Xiaofeng came out in the red qipao-styled dress from yesterday, embroidered with gold thread, in brilliant red. The waist was specifically tailored for her comfort, not tight and not showing her stomach, making her look extremely elegant and noble, like a young lady from a prominent family, absolutely eye-catching.

Xiaofeng looked at her clothes and styled her hair up.

"Wow, this bridal outfit is so beautiful." He Ximei’s eyes sparkled, "Ye Cheng has great taste. This is the first time I’ve seen such a gorgeous bridal outfit."

Unlike when she and Old Guaizi got married; she just wore a simple liver-red top for her bridal outfit.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Xiaofeng, though without makeup, seemed not to look bad at all, which she owed to her good bone structure and skin from the original owner.

Lately, with the fruits from her space, her skin seemed even better.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, where are you going looking like this?" just then, Su Wu’s mom, passing by Guaizi’s house, was startled by the stunning image of Xiaofeng and blurted out.

Her style and attire even surpassed some new brides.

He Ximei stood at the door, smiling, "Today Ye Cheng and my Xiaofeng are going into town to register their marriage. Since they are going as the bride and groom, naturally they should dress up a bit. Of course, it’s also because Ye Cheng wants to pamper my Xiaofeng, saying he wants her to register in style and marry him in style."

Xiaofeng glanced at He Ximei and smirked; her aunt’s ability to spin tales was indeed remarkable.

In fact, Ye Cheng did have that intention.
