Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 908: Chapter 908: The Last Chance

”What, she’s here?” Cuihua was startled.

She was terrified that Gu Shuangshuang would steal Tian Niu’s heart, given that they were only unofficially married in the village and hadn’t yet registered their marriage.

Legally, their marriage wasn’t recognized.

”Quick, find someone to stop her,” Cuihua had barely finished speaking.

Gu Shuangshuang stepped over the threshold into the bridal room, ”Tian Niu, come out!”

Tian Niu forced a smile, but the moment he saw Gu Shuangshuang, he stood still as if struck by lightning.

The smile on his face froze, too sudden even to fade away.

”Tian Niu! You’ve been having quite the time, haven’t you?” Gu Shuangshuang crossed her arms over her chest, a slight smile on her lips, but the rage in her eyes was unmistakable, ”I had scarcely left when you went ahead and married someone else! Nice, even planning to be a live-in son-in-law.”

”No, that’s not it!” Tian Niu denied.

His father was ill at home, needing peace and quiet.

He needed someone by his side, and his mother had to be there to look after him.

The wedding arrangements were rushed; his older sister and second sister were not in a position to help with the preparations.

Cuihua had taken the initiative to hold the event at her house to help lessen his burden.

It was merely a matter at her home.

Tian Niu was not going to be her family’s live-in son-in-law.

”Enough, stop explaining,” Gu Shuangshuang said, her heart aching.

Looking around the room, she saw the walls plastered with the character for happiness, the big red quilt on the kang bed.

The sight of the couple wearing large red flowers over their chests made Gu Shuangshuang’s eyes sting and filled her with the urge to cry.

”What are you doing here?” Cuihua stood in front of Tian Niu with her chest puffed out, glaring at Gu Shuangshuang with narrowed eyes, ”Today is mine and Tian Niu’s wedding day! If you’re here as a guest, I’ll offer you a drink to celebrate. But if you’re here to cause trouble, let me tell you, my whole family won’t let you off easily.”

”I didn’t come to make a scene,” Gu Shuangshuang sniffled, her gaze turning to Tian Niu, her heart originally brimming with joy as she had run over intending to tell Tian Niu that she had just been back home! She had already reached an agreement with her mother!

She and Tian Niu could get married, and they wouldn’t ask for a cent in bride price!

But seeing the situation before her, she suddenly didn’t feel like saying it.

When she first arrived, she was full of anticipation for the future, but now, seeing this scene, the overwhelming redness was searing Gu Shuangshuang’s eyes.

”Tian Niu. I’m giving you one last chance. Are you coming with me or not!” Gu Shuangshuang brushed past Cuihua, her gaze fixed intently on Tian Niu, ”If you say no, I swear I will never come back for you.”

Tian Niu looked into Gu Shuangshuang’s eyes, those eyes that held too much emotion, momentarily at a loss for words.

”Say something!” Gu Shuangshuang yelled.

”No response, obviously means he doesn’t want to bother with you. Is there even a question here? Tian Niu is definitely not going!” Cuihua declared.

Gu Shuangshuang remained silent, waiting for Tian Niu’s answer.

”Shuangshuang, this five thousand yuan is a huge sum for our family! My dad will no longer be able to work, and for my marriage, my older sister has to marry off to someone else, you tell me, for me, I...” Tian Niu said, his voice breaking as a man of great height felt his eyes well up with tears.

”Brother! If you love sister-in-law, then go with her! No matter how tough it gets at home, we can tighten our belts and get through it,” the second sister rushed in, still at an innocent and carefree age, sharing a kindred spirit with Gu Shuangshuang, only concerned with love and not with the practicalities of life, ”If you betray sister-in-law’s good intentions, can you live peacefully for the rest of your life?”
