Following this, Li Shi once again appeared at the street stalls near the sunflower field, working diligently to earn money.
Grandma Lu, upon learning this, praised Da Niu, saying, "It's like one devil subduing another. If she causes trouble again in the future, let Da Niu handle her."
Amidst Li Shi's transformation, Shu Yu's wedding day finally arrived.
Shu Yu had attended Shu You and Lanhua's weddings, one in the county and one in the village, each with its own festivity.
At the time, she had observed with great enthusiasm and found it interesting.
Now that it was her turn, there was just one word to describe it—exhausting.
Especially on the previous night, whether it was due to nervousness or some other reason, she had suffered an unusual bout of insomnia.
Then, before dawn, Ruan shi dragged her out of bed, seemingly half-asleep, and sent her to the bathroom for a bath and dressing. When she emerged, she was guided to the dressing table and seated. She felt like she was floating on a cloud the entire time.
Shu Yu knew the marriage customs well; once her makeup was done, she couldn't move freely. However, she felt extremely hot.
Ying Xi went to the cellar to fetch a lot of ice and placed it around the room. She used a fan to create a cooler atmosphere, which finally made Shu Yu feel more comfortable.
The number of people outside gradually increased. Hou Shi and Kang Shi had also arrived, making the room quite crowded.
Fortunately, the time for the groom's arrival was quickly approaching. Someone outside shouted, "The groom is here!"
Hou Shi and Kang Shi immediately went outside to watch the commotion, leaving only two or three people in the room.
Seeing that Ying Xi was eager, Shu Yu shooed her out, saying, "Go take a look. It's so hot; just don't get too carried away."
"Okay, Miss."
As soon as Ying Xi rushed to the front door, she saw Zhao Xi standing on a ladder, perched on the wall, shouting, "Marrying our sister isn't that easy! Come on, distribute red envelopes first."
Meng Yunzheng, who was outside the door, smiled but didn't respond. Beside him, Meng Qi and Gan Rui started calling out, "Brother Zhao Xi, aren't you good friends with our brother? It's not right for you to make things difficult for us like this. Our brother even helped you to get through some obstacles when you married."
"Yeah, I heard that when you got married, it was really challenging. At least half of the questions were answered by our eldest brother," Meng Qi added.
Zhao Xi replied, "You're right, I got married back then, but now I'm part of the Lu family. Of course, I have to help my own family."
The group of young people led by Shu You immediately shouted, "That's right, don't change the subject. If you want to marry our sister, you have to pass through the challenges."
"Alright, then tell us how to proceed," Meng Qi asked.
Throughout the challenges, there were usually competitions involving either literary or martial arts skills. However, given that Meng Yunzheng was a top scholar and none of the locals could match him in martial arts, they were unsure what challenges to propose.
Taking advantage of their confusion, Zhao Xi suggested, "The challenges won't be difficult. We've prepared a variety of questions. If you can answer them satisfactorily, we'll open the door. Of course, for each question, you'll have to give ten red envelopes in advance."
