Xia Dabao thought to herself that if that was the case, she simply couldn't eat. But she was shocked, "Today is their wedding day? But how come we live so close and didn't hear any firecracker sounds? And no drum sounds either? There weren't any."
Mrs. Zhao shook her head involuntarily, "To be able to marry her in was good enough, where could they afford those fanciful things? They just prepared a big table of dishes. Originally, the eldest sister-in-law did not even want to prepare it, but it was Widow Chen who insisted on doing it, saying that if they didn't have a decent meal, she would make a fuss and let everyone in the village know how stingy the Zhao Family was when marrying a bride."
