Sakura the Dishwashing Girl

"The general manager of Konoha's One-Stop Company, Yunye, has already led a large group of drummers to their positions at the gate of the Uchiha Clan's compound."

The members of the One-Stop Company, each dressed in red wedding attire, arranged their musical instruments neatly on either side of the main entrance and began playing the Konoha Battle Song.

Yunye then set up a table at the entrance, along with a pen, and began copying and registering the amounts guests would contribute as gifts.

Inside the Uchiha Clan, Yamahuku, accompanied by a large group of servants, was setting up a wine table and decorating it with red paper, red lanterns, and so on.

A large group of the Uchiha Clan were also helping, including Sakura and her mother. Sakura, wearing gloves, was washing dishes in the kitchen, while her Sakura's Mother, wearing an apron, was chopping vegetables, assisting the head chef. They were both working diligently and happily.

Sakura said with a resentful look, "Mom, everyone else is here to eat at the banquet, and you just brought me here to do odd jobs. Isn't that too embarrassing?"

After saying that, Sakura looked embarrassed again, but her hands were still very nimble. In a flash, she washed another large bowl and gently placed it in the bamboo basket.

When Sakura's Mother heard Sakura's complaint, she laughed and said, "Sakura! We got this Uchiha Clan by pulling strings. Most people can't get it. After the wedding, everyone who helped will get a big red envelope. Your mother will have money to buy cosmetics again."

Hearing this, Sakura looked resentful and said speechlessly, "Did you get in the kitchen to wash dishes or did you pull strings? Mom, can you please stop embarrassing me? I'm here to attend the Fifth Hokage's wedding!"

Seeing Sakura complaining, Sakura's Mother smiled and said, "Sakura, after we finish all this work, we can attend the banquet for free, we don't have to give any money, and we even get a red envelope. Do you know how much you have to give as a gift outside?"

Sakura's Mother took another breath and said with a shocked expression, "Every Konoha has to contribute at least 500,000 Ryo just to barely get a meal. See those Police Force personnel outside? Don't be fooled by their firecrackers; if anyone dares to come and eat for free, Minister Zhang will be raiding their house tonight."

Upon hearing that the house was going to be searched again, Koharu quickly nodded and said with a surprised look, "Mom, why didn't you say so earlier? It's better to work in the kitchen. I wash dishes all the time at home, these dishes are nothing to me."

Upon hearing this, Sakura's Mother said helplessly, "Your deadbeat father? He Tenten the shop every day but doesn't earn much money. It's all thanks to your mother running around that we barely earn a little bit of hard-earned money. Luckily, the Fifth Hokage is kind and often sends relief funds to Konoha. Otherwise, our family wouldn't be living so comfortably."

Sakura looked at her Sakura's Mother's face and smiled brightly, then said with a look of shock, "Mom, you're dressed so young, you're not planning to do something, are you!"

Upon hearing this, Sakura's Mother said angrily, "Silly child, don't talk nonsense. Today is the Fifth Hokage's wedding day. Everyone is dressed so festively. Even though we're here to do odd jobs, it's not too shameful, is it?"

Hearing this, Sakura felt relieved, but then said awkwardly, "After we finish washing the dishes, can we go out and check on our classmates?"

Just then, a large group of women walked into the kitchen and said, "Madam Xiao, do you need any help? We can help with the dishes too."

Several other women chimed in, "We can also serve dishes and pour tea."

Sakura's Mother said with a smile, "You're all late. The job of serving dishes has already been taken by the director and staff of the orphanage."

Sakura looked at the kitchen in the backyard, where so many people had suddenly flooded in, and said with an embarrassed expression, "No wonder Mom brought me here at four o'clock. If we had come any later, there probably wouldn't have been any work to do the fire-starting."

Inside the clan head's room, Uchiha Qingcheng was already dressed in his wedding attire and had his hair polished to a gleaming shine.

Qingcheng said with an embarrassed look, "Half a bottle of hairspray is gone just like that, it's just too much. If I don't fix this hair, it'll look Visual Kei again."

Kurenai Yuhi was also dressed in her wedding attire, with a touch of makeup on her face and lipstick painted on. She looked radiant. Although she was three months pregnant and her belly was slightly protruding, she still walked with remarkable lightness.

Seeing that Kurenai Yuhi was all ready, Yugao smiled and said, "Sister Kurenai, you look so beautiful. Everyone who comes to the wedding today will compliment you on your beauty."

Kurenai Yuhi had already mentally prepared herself for the wedding, but today she still looked very nervous and asked anxiously, "Qingcheng, do I look good like this?"

Looking at Kurenai Yuhi's appearance, Qingcheng thought to himself, "This can't be described as just pretty; to me, she's absolutely still charming."

Qingcheng nodded directly and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Hong, you are the most beautiful in Konoha. From today onwards, you are my wife."

After Qingcheng finished speaking, he noticed that Yugao, Meiling, and Anko Mitarashi all looked a little embarrassed, as if they were the other women.

Qingcheng added, "Of course, all of you here are my wives, it's just that I haven't received any money from you yet."

Upon hearing this, Anko Mitarashi's stunned expression gradually faded, and she asked with a look of astonishment, "Qingcheng, are you getting married for the sake of wedding gifts?"

Upon hearing what Anko Mitarashi said, Qingcheng immediately explained, "Collecting money is only one aspect. The main reason is for Konoha and the Uchiha Clan. If we don't save up some money, what will happen if a great war breaks out? Our clan only has a little over 20 billion left, which is not enough to withstand a Ninja World War."

Qingcheng frequently donated money to the village, helping Konoha alleviate its financial crisis. He also gave Tsunade a large sum of money to console her for her emotional distress; otherwise, she would definitely have caused trouble and wouldn't have obediently become a mistress.

Hearing this, Anko Mitarashi understood perfectly and said respectfully, "Qingcheng, I have just overstepped my bounds. Why don't you punish me severely tonight?"

Qingcheng looked at Anko Mitarashi's belly. She was only two months along, yet it was already bigger than other women's four-month-old bellies. How dare she talk about punishment?

Qingcheng immediately smiled and said with a serious expression, "Your question is very correct. How could I bear to punish you?"

Just then, Tsunade and Shizune were almost at the entrance of the Uchiha Clan's compound when a group of Police Force personnel called out, "Distinguished guests, please prepare to welcome Lady Tsunade."

Immediately, a large group of Police Force personnel prepared to light their firecrackers, ready to welcome Tsunade with the highest honors.

Dozens of Police Force also began unleashing Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique into the air, treating Fire Release Ninjutsu like fireworks.

Tsunade looked at the Police Force who were about to light the firecrackers and immediately yelled, "You idiots! I'm three months pregnant. What are you doing setting off firecrackers? You're just scaring a pregnant woman!"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, all the members of the Police Force were shocked and exclaimed, "We're so sorry, Lady Tsunade, it was our oversight!"
