Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 602 - 233: The Four Brothers Who Walked Into the Trap! _3

He kept trying to stand up, wanting to leave his seat, but the makeup artists always stopped him. Feeling helpless, he could only turn to Qin Mu and say, "Xiao Qin, go outside and see if the guests have arrived yet. Should I start preparing to greet them?"

Behind him, Qin Mu, who had been by his side the whole time, couldn’t help but roll his eyes. "It’s only nine o’clock. The banquet doesn’t start until twelve."

Today was Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua’s wedding day. Qin Mu’s job was simple: to take care of the two elderly people throughout the event and prevent any accidents. After all, they were both over seventy-five and not as vigorous as younger folks.

As for the wedding ceremony, Zhang Qingyuan and Feng Cuihua had a clear understanding of it: everything would be kept simple. All the traditional customs like fetching the bride, welcoming the bride, and teasing in the bridal chamber had been omitted. The main event would be the wedding ceremony at the banquet, followed by a feast for relatives and friends. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Qin... Brother Qin, the volunteers from other organizations have arrived. Vice Dean Wan asked you to help arrange things."

Right at that moment, a staff member from the home hurried over to Qin Mu. Qin Mu was momentarily stunned before he recalled. Wan Zhongyuan had mentioned this to him a couple of days ago, saying that some volunteers from other organizations in the community were scheduled to arrive today.

Perfect timing, with how busy it is today; free labor has arrived! His eyes lit up. After giving a few instructions, he followed the staff member to welcome the volunteers.

In the courtyard of the nursing home, Jiang Daping, Jiang Erping, Jiang Sanping, and Jiang Siping were staring at each other, completely baffled. It had been three days since they last parted ways in court, and now they were meeting again. Even though they all lived in Jin City, they were assigned to different community correction centers. They didn’t have much of a relationship with each other and had not been in contact. Yet, they never expected to encounter one another so coincidentally today.

Apparently, their respective community correction centers had also organized volunteer activities, assigning them to this particular nursing home. Over thirty other people had come with them.

"Do you guys feel like... we’ve heard of this nursing home somewhere?" Jiang Daping couldn’t help but ask, pointing to the ground as he looked at his brothers. Ever since he’d entered the nursing home, his right eyelid hadn’t stopped twitching incessantly. The name of this nursing home was very familiar, but he couldn’t quite recall it.

"I also feel like it looks familiar," Jiang Erping agreed, pointing around. "This nursing home seems to be having some kind of celebration; there are red ’happiness’ characters posted everywhere."

An atmosphere of joy filled the air, which was quite out of place with them, a group of men on probation.

Jiang Sanping, however, wasn’t concerned about these things. He started looking around impatiently and commented in annoyance, "Why haven’t the nursing home staff come out yet?"

Today, he had reported to the community office first thing in the morning. Then, he was assigned to this nursing home. Now, all he wanted was to finish the volunteer work as soon as possible so he could head to the construction site to earn money.

"Are you all blind?" Behind the three of them, Jiang Siping couldn’t hold back any longer. He angrily chastised, "Didn’t you see the poster at the entrance when we came in?"

As soon as he spoke, the other three finally began to understand.

"It seems someone’s getting married, two old men? The photo was nicely done, though," Jiang Daping muttered, recalling the poster.

"I was in a rush when I came in, so I didn’t look closely. But those two did look a bit familiar," Jiang Erping added.

"Just spit it out, Siping. Stop beating around the bush," Jiang Sanping urged.

"That’s not right," Jiang Daping suddenly exclaimed, a thought striking him. "Mom... wasn’t she also getting married today? I think she said something about being at a nursing home in Jin City..."

After some discussion, they suddenly came to a startling realization. One of the people on the poster at the entrance was clearly Feng Cuihua! As for this nursing home, they had never paid any attention to it before, let alone known its name.

Jiang Siping looked at his brothers with irritation. "If I’m not mistaken, she’s probably getting married today, in this nursing home. What rotten luck!"

He was in an extremely bad mood. Recently, he had been suspended from school. It seemed the school was processing his dismissal, preparing a school-wide reprimand, and reporting him to the Education Bureau, among other steps. In short, this time, he wasn’t just going to lose his job; his reputation would be ruined. He wouldn’t be able to continue in the teaching profession.

Furthermore, the hassles of probation had been more than he bargained for. He not only had to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet but also had to report his whereabouts daily, attend regular study sessions, and perform regular community service. And today, of all days, he was assigned to this nursing home, stuck with his wretched brothers.

Hearing Jiang Siping’s words, the faces of Jiang Daping, Jiang Erping, and Jiang Sanping also turned sour. Doesn’t this mean... we might actually run into Mom here at the nursing home? Each of them grew anxious, unsure of what to do.

Just then, Qin Mu arrived in the courtyard and quickly conferred with the staff member from the community correction center who was coordinating the volunteers.

"These individuals are on probation and are here to volunteer at the home today. You can assign them any tasks you have," the staff member told Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was slightly taken aback. He looked at the thirty-plus people, all wearing matching couple’s watches. They were of various ages; some appeared to be in their fifties, while the youngest seemed barely out of their teens.

He had never expected that the "social organization" cooperating with the nursing home this time would turn out to be the community correction center!
