Not until the man walked out of the bathroom after his shower did he soberly realize that tonight was their wedding night, spent with the man before him. 。However, she didn't know how to get along with her new husband, especially since she was a replacement bride. 。As a bastard child of a wealthy family, I married this penniless man for my elder sister. It was to fulfill the marriage agreement made between our families' previous generations and to receive the hefty dowry. 。With money, Mom's illness can be cured, my brother can continue his studies, and our family can live a good life. 。,Jiang Chanqi quickly slipped into the bathroom. Just as he was about to lock the door, he discovered that this old wooden door didn't even have a latch.,He was stunned. Although life hadn't been easy before, it hadn't been this destitute. 。The eyes were slightly red, and she hesitated in the restroom for a long time, unable to decide. 。The man outside the door seemed to understand what she was thinking, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I'll go out for a cigarette, you take your time washing..." 。Jian Can's heart pounded. He pressed his ear against the door, listening. The footsteps gradually faded away. With a creak, the door closed, and silence filled the air. 。On the mottled wall, the large red Chinese character for "happiness" seemed a little pale. 。The day before the wedding, a typhoon swept through the city, leaving torn-down advertising signs and snapped trees scattered along the streets. 。Ginger married amidst the chaos. 。There was no fancy wedding car to pick her up. She had to walk a long way before getting into that unassuming van. After what felt like ages, they finally reached the village. The muddy path left her shoes and wedding dress covered in dirt. 。The elderly say that getting married in this weather will not bring happiness. 。However, Ginger Chan had long since stopped placing her own happiness at heart. 。。
