Chapter 427: Stealing the Bride

g hid his money, hoping to redeem himself. 。That five million is out of reach, Li Dongsheng felt a bit regretful, but it's also good. With this money, Li Dongsheng's charges of bribery and corruption...Following the child, they arrived at a house at the foot of the mountain. 。It's an old red brick house, looking quite aged. The exposed brick walls are dark and mottled, possibly due to weathering. There are also several wooden poles leaning against the side walls at an angle, perhaps to prevent them from collapsing. 。This is Xiuxiux's house. 。At this time, a big red couplet was pasted on the gate of her house, and red characters were posted on the windows. A table set for four was placed at the entrance, with twenty or thirty people seated around it, men, women, young and old, all with smiles on their faces. 。In a corner of the yard, there's still a chopping board and stove, with a chef stirring something in a large pot. The savory smell of cooking can be smelled even from afar. 。The child hopped over and said something to a young man, then pointed back at him and the rock. 。His eyesight was excellent, and he could clearly see the young man's features from a distance. 。He bore a resemblance to Xiuxiu, about five or six points. He looked around twenty-five or six years old, wearing a black leather jacket, with a short side part, and fair, clean skin. He didn't look like a farmer at all. 。Then the young man looked up at the sky and the stones, then strode over. 。Dao glanced carefully at Xiang Tian and asked, "Are you Xiu Xiu's classmates How come I've never seen you before" "Hehehe, you must be Xiu Xiu's older brother," 。My name is Xiang Tian, I am her friend, and I have been handling things here recently. 。Xiu Xiu called me the other day and asked me to pick her up and take her back to the city today. I was wondering if she's at home。"Hsiu-hsiu's elder brother smiled and said, "You came at an unfortunate time, Hsiu-hsiu is not at home. She left yesterday." 。“Why don’t you come sit at my place”

He said he wanted them to sit at his place, but he didn't budge an inch in front of Tian Mian.

He glanced towards the entrance and smiled, "Is there a wedding taking place at home" "Oh, it's someone else's wedding. We're just lending them some space." 。"Xiu Xiu's big brother said casually, his feet rooted to the ground, giving off an air of aloofness." 。Towards Tianxin's heart felt strange. Since Xiuxiu was getting married, why was her older brother still being secretive, not even letting friends in when they came to visit 。This is very strange. 。He grinned and took the cigarettes and liquor from Stone's hand, saying, "That's right. Since we're here, it would be good to see your parents, even though Xiuxiu isn't home." 。“It’s really unfortunate, my family lent our house to someone else today for an event, and my parents aren’t home either. I’m the only one left at home to look after it.” 。” That's obviously not letting them into the house. 。Shi Tou had a hot temper. Seeing this guy prattle on and on, he was already getting impatient. 。He sneered, “Lending your own house to someone else for their wedding When did people from Nanguang Village become so generous”

Shitou was speaking in the local dialect. Xiu Xiu's older brother understood immediately—this person was a local and couldn't be easily fooled.

Just like what Stone said, weddings, funerals and other major events are very particular affairs here. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would hold such events at someone else's place, nor would they lend their own house to others for these occasions. 。He thought the man was from out of town because he was speaking Mandarin, so he made up an excuse to get rid of him. But it turned out that Shi Tou was a local, and his lie was immediately exposed. 。Although his lie was exposed, he remained calm and quickly composed himself. He said in a nonchalant tone, "I apologize, but there's something going on at home today. I don't welcome you here. Please go back." 。After he finished speaking, he turned and went back to the front of the house, calling an eighteen- or nineteen-year-old boy over to him. He pointed towards the sky and said a few words to him. 。The boy glanced at the sky and the stone, nodded, then called to several young men who took positions on the path leading to Xiuxiang's house. It seemed like they were trying to block Tian Gen and Shi Tou from passing. 。 "Brother Tian, I think the kid at the beginning was telling the truth. There's a 90% chance that the person getting married today is Yu Xiu, and this marriage doesn't seem right." 。The stone said 。"Well, something's not right." 。"Tian pondered for a moment, then said: 'No need to rush. Since it's a wedding, the bride's family will definitely come to escort her. Xiu Xiu will surely show up. Let's wait first.'" 。After about half an hour, several cars did come and stopped beside them. 。At the front is a black Audi A6, with flowers tied to its hood, looking very festive. 。A group of people got out of the car, first setting off a burst of fireworks, and then they laughed and walked towards Xiuxiu's house. 。Leading the way was a man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a sharp black suit, holding a bouquet of flowers. However, he seemed to have a problem with his leg and walked with a limp. 。Xiang Tian frowned, could it be that Xiuxiu was going to marry such a cripple This was too strange. 。Hearing the sound of firecrackers, everyone at Xiuxi's house rushed out to greet the occasion. At the same time, some onlookers also ran over from all directions, pointing and discussing the event. 。He didn't need to consult the heavens. The moment Stone tossed his cigarette butt aside, he walked into the crowd of onlookers and inquired about things for a while before returning. 。"Brother Tian, those people are saying that the cripple just now was the son of the deputy head of Nanwang Township. After Yu Xiu marries him, her older brother will be able to work in the township." 。" He stared at the sky for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, “I never thought this kind of thing would still happen. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.” 。"Well, actually, if I'm being honest, Yu Xiu marrying that lame man wouldn't be so bad if she hadn't met Brother Tian. " 。s speaking from the heart. 。 He snorted coldly at the sky and turned away, ignoring him. However, he secretly nodded in approval. Despite his fiery temper, this fellow was a man of integrity. 。Then,...
