Chapter 642 - 640 Preparing for the Wedding
"Tomorrow is the betrothal ceremony—Yongzhu, you, you marry Chongjin! Don’t, don’t recruit a son-in-law—later on, whatever, that beast Laoer won’t be able, won’t be able to cause trouble anymore!" Wang Laozhu strenuously explained.
This was the only thing he could do for his little girl Wang Yongzhu, as he was not long for this world. If she did not marry Song Chongjin, she would have to observe a period of mourning for at least a year.
In that year, too many things could happen!
But if she married before his death, not only could he fulfill his last wish and see his youngest daughter married off,
furthermore, he had selfish reasons initially—he wanted to tie Yongzhu to the Wang Family forever by having her recruit a son-in-law to join them.
However, due to the special circumstances, first, he could let go of Yongzhu and secondly, by marrying her to Song Chongjin, she would become a member of the Song Family. As the old saying goes, a married daughter is like spilled water.
No matter how far Wang Laoer’s hands could reach, he wouldn’t have any right over this married sister in the future.
So, no matter what, the marriage had to happen before his eyes closed for the last time.
Old Granny Zhang quickly grasped Wang Laozhu’s intentions, giving him an extra glance, appreciating that the old man had managed to accomplish one last human kindness before dying.
She immediately concurred, "Your father’s right! There’s many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip, you should get married tomorrow! It’s just that my girl is wronged here, she should have been wedded in glory, but now, we can only make haste." Saying this, she couldn’t help wiping away her tears.
Why was her daughter’s wedding affair so plagued with misfortune?
