Gu Zi drifted off to sleep with a sense of curiosity. The next day, they arrived at the bridal shop early.

As soon as the two of them arrived, Uncle Li warmly greeted them at the entrance, seemingly waiting for their arrival.

Leading them into the shop, Li Shu took them to the photo selection room, showcasing the wedding photos taken the other day. The groom looked stable and handsome with a strong build and long legs, while the bride appeared gentle and beautiful with a graceful figure. Each photo exuded a sense of style and sophistication.

Of course, Uncle Li didn’t allow them to choose; instead, he packaged all the photos for them to take away, which the shop assistant had already arranged.

Finally, the shop assistant handed Su Shen a large, flat, purple box with a carrying handle, which was quite convenient to carry around.

As they were leaving, Uncle Li told Gu Zi that a few days ago, spotted Lin Miao meeting with another woman at a teahouse. When Lin Miao saw him, she was very flustered. He could tell but did not show it.

However, the main point he wanted to talk about was not Lin Miao, but the woman beside Lin Miao.

“That woman by Lin Miao’s side didn’t look simple. She seemed restless and not very stable. If you happen to know her, it’s best to steer clear of her in the future. She’s undoubtedly someone who prioritizes her own interests and can be quite capricious.”

He described the woman’s physical features—hooked nose, faint eyebrows. Gu Zi immediately recognized he was referring to MO Li. It seemed the two had indeed met, and it appeared they had negotiated some terms.

She didn’t know how Uncle Li discerned MO Li’s capricious nature, but it seemed he wasn’t entirely mistaken.

Based on her memory, Uncle Li always seemed interested in studying various fortune-telling and physiognomy-related things.

He had previously praised the original host several times, claiming she had a “Phoenix Fate” and her husband was of an incredibly noble status.

However, Uncle Li couldn’t have predicted that the original host was blinded by fantasies. staunchlv believing that Gong Zhan was the true knight in shining armor, completely exhausting herself trying to win him over. The present Gu Zi was no longer the same as before.

Reflecting now, Gu Zi realized that the original host excelled in many aspects. She had a noble character and relatively simplistic thoughts.

At that time, unable to see through things and unwilling to marry into the countryside, her initial decisions actually made sense.

Gu Zi and Su Shen left the bridal shop and went to a department store, where Su Shen finally answered the question of what else they needed for the wedding through action.

First, they purchased three large rolls of three-meter-wide red carpet. Each roll was thick enough; Gu Zi couldn’t even embrace it with both hands stretched out.

He paid for it and arranged for it to be held for pick-up later when someone would come by car to collect it.

Next were red flower lights, potted table flowers, colored ribbons, balloons, ceremonial cannons, red envelopes of various sizes, and so on. The extravagance almost prompted the store director of the department store to personally attend to them.

Later, they went to a furniture store and bought a considerable amount of furniture, which equally alarmed the management of the furniture store.

Gu Zi felt that if the circumstances allowed, Su Shen might even arrange for camera equipment and a filming crew by himself. She no longer doubted Su Shen’s purchasing power; it was terrifying.

Finally, they separately visited an old winery in the city and ordered a batch of top-notch “Daughter’s Red Wine” as part of the wedding liquor.

The couple had lunch in the city, and by the time they returned home, it was already dusk.

Gu Zi was astounded to find that the furniture they bought had arrived even before they had reached home. Jin Long was already unloading with his team and moving things into the house.

Su Li was busy with the neighborhood kids, coming in and out of the house, and Shitou from next door was also there.

Spotting Gu Zi, Shitou dashed towards her, “Fairy Sister, you look so pretty today!”

Seeing his adorable demeanor, Gu Zi grabbed his hand and headed toward his house.

She hadn’t seen Lele all day and missed her terribly. Indeed, caring for the children herself felt more intimate.

Lele spotted her favorite person from the Zhangs’ house in the distance. She struggled out of Aunt Zhang’s arms and ran towards Gu Zi.

The moment Gu Zi held Su Le, she felt an extraordinary surge of joy. She asked Aunt Zhang not to cook dinner tonight and to come to the courtyard to eat later.

Everyone in the village did not ask for compensation for their help, so it was only right for them to treat everyone to dinner.

Under such circumstances, Aunt Zhang had no reason to refuse. She immediately closed the house door, mentioning she would help Gu Zi later.

Entering the house, Gu Zi noticed the adults were still busy moving things around and counted fifteen children including Su Bing and Su Li. She decided to prepare some snacks for the children.

Taking a glance at the ingredients in the house, which were quite abundant, she chose to make potato chips and double-skinned milk for a quick snack.

She swiftly peeled and thinly sliced the potatoes, soaked them in water, then drained and seasoned them.

Outside, a child accidentally fell and started crying loudly, tears and snot streaming. However, upon catching a whiff of the rich aroma of potatoes coming from the house, the child suddenly forgot about crying and, like the other kids, dashed inside..
