After the elders' tea ceremony was complete, I mingled with the younger generation one by one, listening to everyone speak auspicious words. In the end, my head buzzed—there were too many people in the Zhou family, weren't there?
Only after being busy for a while, I began to eat breakfast.
I originally thought that the ordeal would end there, but after breakfast, plenty more people came to see the bride—that is, the residents of this courtyard.
That includes the large family I had encountered when Chuxia's father was looking for the bathroom.
That old lady grabbed Chuxia's hand and wouldn't let go, looking her over with eyes so delighted they were almost squinted shut. To those unaware, they may have thought she was appraising her own granddaughter-in-law.
It caused Old Madam Zhou to break out in goosebumps all over.
In the end, unable to watch anymore, Old Madam Zhou took the initiative to pull her into her room to speak privately.
