Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 342 - 341: Eldest Sister’s Blessing

That night, the money was handed over to Han Qi and Jianguo, and both of them issued a receipt. The next day, Jianhui went with Jianguo and Han Qi to the notary office and notarized a share transfer agreement.

From this day on, Jianhui officially took over the Li Family’s Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot business, becoming the helmsman of the Li Family after Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang.

Jianguo and Jianhui formally split the family.

Everyone was very silent; the atmosphere was really not very good.

Han Qi directly took Jianguo and Hu Zi back to their hometown.

They didn’t even attend Gu Xiaoying’s wedding, clearly aiming to sever all ties.

Gu Xiaoqing shook her head. If a person is unclear about the situation, no one can help them.

One’s pride and dignity should be built on the foundation of one’s perspective, not on feeling superior and expecting others to fawn over you.

If you have no abilities, and you insist on maintaining face and dignity when facing someone stronger, that’s not your ability or pride; it’s your lack of self-awareness.

Your lack of clear positioning determines your future position, just like Han Qi and Li Jianguo.

However, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t bother with others; her own family was already very busy.

Gu Xiaoying was getting married.

There were only about ten days left.

Gu Xiaoqing went with her sister to see the new house. Liu Ming was an only child, but his parents were very open-minded. With Liu Ming’s qualifications, he got allocated public housing in the family building of the police compound, on the fifth floor. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms, which was already spacious enough for Liu Ming and Gu Xiaoying as a couple.

The house was already renovated, with wooden floors, white walls, a ceiling, a wardrobe on the main wall, and the kitchen and bathroom were all very modern.

The household appliances were part of the dowry from Gu Ruhai and his wife: a 29-inch big color TV, refrigerator, washing machine, rice cooker, and sound system—all complete with almost everything one could ask for.

When Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying went, it was to complete all the soft furnishings in the house, like curtains, sofa covers, and bedding, etc.

Looking at Gu Xiaoying’s new house, Gu Xiaoqing was also very excited.

Her sister had found her place in life, which was a major life event.

Gu Xiaoqing gave Gu Xiaoying a wedding dress.

A white wedding dress was quite a prominent thing in their area.

Gu Xiaoqing was very familiar with Gu Xiaoying’s measurements, so she took it upon herself to have this wedding dress custom-made for her sister. It was produced by the most famous bridal shop in Shanghai, costing eight thousand yuan.

The family had been almost overwhelmed with busyness during this period.

Gu Xiaoying had already prepared her own things a long time ago; what remained was the dowry to be taken on the wedding day.

Gu Ruhai, fearing he might shortchange his daughter, had everything—the best, the newest—wanting to move the whole family to her.

The wedding banquet and such were prepared by the groom’s side, so Gu Ruhai didn’t need to worry about those.

On the day before the wedding, the house was already full of relatives, and many even had to stay at nearby hotels.

There was almost no one from the Gu Family, except for Mrs. Gu, who had been brought up from the village; there were no other people from the Gu Family.

Gu Rushan was still in prison. Even if he wasn’t, there could no longer be any relationship between the two families.

Likewise, Gu Ruhe was not contacted by Gu Ruhai. Since the ties were severed, why should he bother?

So there were almost no people from the Gu Family.

The Li Family had long arrived.

However, the others who came were actually some neighbors from Gu Family Village; Aunt Zhang and Uncle Zhang from the Zhang Family had come, and the two sons from the Zhang Family, who were now married, also came with their wives to help Gu Ruhai.

Quite a few people from the village came, all having some connection with the Gu Family. In recent years, many village youths had found jobs with the Gu Family because of the booming business of Gu Family Spicy Hot Pot and Gu Family BBQ.

So there were many families in the village with intricate ties to the Gu Family, and many came to offer their congratulations for Gu Xiaoying’s wedding.

Even though Gu Ruhai had told Aunt Zhang to convey to the villages not to go through the hassle of coming to the city for the wedding—since it was a full day’s journey from the village to the provincial city, taking two days for a round trip, which was very labor-intensive—many still rented a vehicle in groups, and almost everyone with ties to the Gu Family came.

Therefore, Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai could not avoid making arrangements, taking the villagers’ good intentions into account, resulting in the guest house being completely full.

Even on the wedding day, four or five extra tables were arranged for the banquet.

A day ahead, the house was as lively as ever, with a wedding tent set up in the front yard. Li Xuemei, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang’s two daughters-in-law, and the wives of Li Weimin and Li Weiqiang were all helping to make dumplings and cook dishes.

The family hired a chef for the dishes, so the women didn’t need to cook, but main dishes still had to be personally prepared—deep-fried cakes, dumplings, and such all had to be made by hand.

So the house was also bustling with activity.

Gu Xiaoqing and Gu Xiaoying went for a bath and beauty treatments.

The wedding was tomorrow.

Today, Gu Xiaoqing dragged her sister to do some sisterly activities.

Gu Xiaoying looked at her sister with emotion, lying on the beauty bed, the two sisters quietly chatting under the beautician’s massage.

The makeup artist for tomorrow’s bridal makeup was also a staff member there, already booked.

"Xiaoqing, you’re about to graduate from university, come back. I heard you started your own business, but I’m getting married, and mom and dad, and our brother need someone by their side. I think if you’re back, they’ll have a backbone."

Gu Xiaoying spoke with her eyes closed, not wanting her sister to be alone outside, still feeling that it’s better if her sister stays by their parents’ side.

Gu Xiaoqing let the beautician glide her fingers over her face, "Big sister, you’re getting married, have a good life. The family business is in your hands, and mom and dad are still young. I want to do something I want to do. Maybe I won’t do well, but at least I fought for it while I’m young."

Gu Xiaoying couldn’t say more; Gu Xiaoqing was different from herself—not someone who easily changes.

She clamped her mouth shut and sighed.

"Take care of yourself when you’re out there alone. Remember, whatever difficulties you encounter, mom and dad, me as your sister, and the family are behind you. Don’t always shoulder things alone; when you can’t carry it any longer, we’re here to support you," Gu Xiaoying said, which was all she could offer.

She found her own happiness, but her sister had been giving to the family for years and never complained, even when every family trouble required her intervention. Even when her own greed and desires clouded her judgment, her sister still did everything in her power to protect everyone.

Sister, I wish you happiness.
