For several days, Wang Daniu took time to rest and recuperate while plotting how to enhance his own strength.
However, in the small shop at the east end of the village, Liu Degui's home was bustling with activity.
Liu Sisi's arranged marriage was being carried out with much fanfare, and today she was to be wed.
Jiang Yuting and Liu Degui got up early, bringing people in to clean up the inside and outside of the house thoroughly.
Big red embroidered balls and lanterns filled the courtyard, and a few streamers were put up to create a festive atmosphere, all in anticipation of the arrival of their new son-in-law.
"These 'happiness' characters are crooked. Put some heart into it. The groom is the neighboring college's student secretary Wang Gang. Don't disgrace our Peach Blossom Village," said Liu Degui.
As the mastermind behind the marriage, Village Chief Liu Defu also came over to supervise and ensure everything was ready for the bridegroom's arrival.
