On the evening of March 24, 1980, He Da Cheng from Xiaoling Village knocked on his neighbor's door at the Jiang household. "Uncle, Auntie, I've set my sights on your Erya, and she feels the same about me. If you agree, I'll make a grand celebration to marry her properly. But if you don't, we'll elope together and only return after giving you grandchildren to honor you."
Beside him, Jiang Erya rested her chin in her hand, grinning dreamily, "Yes, yes, I'll do as Da Cheng says."
The very next morning, it was Jiang Erya who knocked on their neighbors' door. "Uncle, Auntie, I've set my sights on your He Da Cheng, and he feels the same about me. If you agree, prepare the traditional 'three rounds and one sound' wedding gifts promptly along with additional betrothal presents. However, if you disagree, I'll convince him to live in at our place instead, leaving you two old folks out of consideration."
Beside her, He Da Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Erya, I'll follow your lead."
A month later, amidst lively celebrations, the couple joyously tied the knot and embarked on their shamelessly affectionate life together, becoming the most envious and indolent pair in Xiaoling Village.
The numerous members of Xiaoling Village were left speechless, thinking to themselves, "How can you two be so unabashed!"
He Da Cheng or Jiang Erya would respond, "Who needs face? We're busy farming, raising kids, and making big money."
From high school sweethearts to newlyweds, but achieving that wedding wasn't easy. After graduation, they struggled tirelessly for years in a bustling city, unable to afford a house or start a family. Exhausted, they contemplated returning to their hometown when, unexpectedly, they woke up transmigrated into a rural themed era novel. In this book, they were the ultimate villains, serving solely as stepping stones for the protagonists.
