When meal time arrived, everyone in the village, young and old, came together. Those in better conditions were given a few coins, and those in poor conditions were given some food. They all came empty-handed.

As meat dishes were served one after another, the aroma attracted everyone's mouths to water.

They knew that there was meat at the banquet, but they didn't expect that the Zheng family was so generous. The dishes served were all meat, and the plates were full.

They had never eaten such a rich meal, and they had never seen so much meat even during the Chinese New Year. They suddenly felt that they had too little food.

When Father Zheng saw that the dishes were all served, he hugged Jin Bao and walked out.

"Everyone knows that my old Zheng family has only given birth to boys for so many years, but there is a shortage of girls. This time, my old Zheng family has a little girl. Today is the full moon."

"To celebrate, we have today's banquet. You are here to show me respect, Lao Zheng. Everyone, eat and drink well. Don't be polite. Eat with ease. There is plenty of meat!"

"it is good!"

Everyone applauded and cheered.

Everyone looked at the Jin Bao held in Father Zheng's arms and loved it very much.

She looks like a New Year doll, not like a country girl at all. No wonder Lao Zheng’s family feels pain like eyeballs. They would also dote on her.

Father Zheng carried Jin Bao into the house, and everyone at the table began to eat happily, fearing that they would eat too slowly.

Just halfway through eating, there was a noise outside the yard.

"Li Yun, you have no conscience, come out. You didn't inform us about such a wonderful banquet. Your conscience has been eaten by dogs."

The one who yelled and scolded was the mother of Zheng Laos third daughter-in-law. Behind her was a family of young and old, who seemed to be well prepared.

Father Zheng and the others also came out. Seeing their aggressive look, Mrs. Zhou became angry.

"Wang, why are you so crazy? Our two families have stopped interacting with each other for a long time. Why do you want to have a presence here now?"

"Li Yun is my daughter. Even if she marries into your family, she must not forget her roots."

Ms. Zhou laughed angrily: "You still have the nerve to say that you sold Li Yun to my family, and we have severed ties with you long ago. Now you come to find your daughter."

Although Mrs. Wang ignored her, she still insisted on arguing: "I gave birth to her and I raised her. No matter what happens, this relationship cannot be broken. She has to call me mother at all times."

When Li Yun saw her mother coming to make trouble, her eyes were red with anger, and she, who was always honest, could not say anything to refute.

Although she and Zheng Laosan were introduced to each other, they both saw each other right. But Li Yun's family disliked the fact that the Zheng family was poor and refused to live or die.

They kept saying that unless the Zheng family came up with five taels of silver, the two of them would give up.

For country people, five taels of silver is really a big deal. Usually, the most you can get when getting married is two or three taels of silver. They are so open-minded that they ask for five taels of silver.

Li Yun opposed them and was severely beaten.

Mrs. Zhou saw that her son was attracted to him. Li Yun is also a good girl. She emptied her family fortune and borrowed a lot to get the money together.

On the wedding day, the Wang family cheated and temporarily increased the price, forcing them to take an extra tael of silver.

The Zheng family tried their best to persuade them, but Mei Hua went back to her parents' house to borrow a few taels of silver before marrying Li Yun home.

From that day on, Mrs. Zhou made it clear to them that they had sold Li Yun, and their future life would have nothing to do with them.

This was also done to prevent the family from being haunted like vampires.

They looked down on the Zheng family to begin with. Once they got the money, they didn't care about anything else, so they readily agreed.

Li Yun had been living a life that was worse than that of a slave at home, and all the dirty and hard work was hers. After this marriage, she was heartbroken. It was over, and she didn't miss it.

Now, their family heard somewhere that the Zheng family had become rich, and they started to look for trouble again.

Jin Bao was held by Wan Niang and stared curiously at the troubled family.

They stunk so much that she could smell them even from so far away. It was really killing the fish.

He turned his head and buried his face in Wan Niang's arms, unwilling to get up. Mom still smells good and fragrant.

"What do you want to do here this time?"

Father Zheng didn't want to cause trouble on the big day, so he asked.

Mrs. Wang glanced at the silver bracelet on Jin Bao's hand, and then looked at the meat on the table with greed. It seemed that the rumors were true, and the Zheng family had really become rich.

"It's nothing. My son is getting married, and I'm a little short on money. I came to borrow some money. I heard that you caught a wild boar, and I'll borrow some meat by the way."

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"It's not much, five...not ten taels, just ten taels of silver. As for the meat, let's get fifty kilograms first."

Mrs. Wang was counting with her fingers, but she didn't see the Zheng family's expressions change at all.

It's really a lion's mouth. One mouth is worth ten taels of silver, which is not much. He is really thick-skinned.

"You don't have a penny, let's go!"

Li Yun saw their unreasonable looks and refused to speak out.

"You are an unfilial daughter and a heartless person. I have raised you in vain for so many years."

As he spoke, he raised his arms to greet Li Yun in the face.

Zheng Laosan stopped him with quick eyes and hands, and was so angry that he wanted to fight back. Seeing Li Yun's sad look, he didn't have the same understanding as them.

"If you say you don't have it, then you don't have it. You have to borrow it or not today."

Li Yun's brother is a gangster. Now that his mother is defeated, he wants to be tough.

"How dare you? It's not your turn to do anything evil in our Houyan Village."

When the village chief saw it, he became angry. This was bullying at the doorstep.

As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief's sons and several young men in the village stood up and stood in front of him.

Come and be tough, let’s see who is tougher than the other.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yun's eldest brother shrank behind Wang and did not dare to speak out.

Mrs. Wang saw that things were about to get messed up, so she quickly said something nice with a smile on her face: "Hey, why are you so angry? We are all a family. The food is almost cold. Let's sit down and eat first."

"Who is your family, came here empty-handed, and still wants to eat meat? How can it be such a good thing? We don't welcome you. Go back where you came from!"

The nice banquet was interrupted by them. Boss Zheng was filled with anger and wanted to eat meat. Even eating shit would be easier for them.

Mrs. Wang was a little embarrassed and tried hard to maintain an expression on her face: "Why are you talking? We are all eating here. We are Li Yun's family, why can't we come?"

"I don't have a family like you, you go away!" Li Yun is a clear-minded person. She has given up on them a long time ago. Her only family is the Zheng family.

"You damn girl, what are you talking about? You were born in ten months of pregnancy, so you can't turn your elbows outward." Wang's expression became a little tense.

"We are having a banquet today. We don't want to make it too ugly. You can go on your own. It won't look good if you start making moves."

Father Zheng didn't want to waste words with them, so he directly ordered them to be kicked out.

Li Yun's father had already looked ugly. He was originally unwilling to come, but he couldn't bear it and insisted on coming. Now he was completely embarrassed.

"go!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, his pace a little hurried.

"Hey, old man!" Seeing him walking away, Mrs. Wang looked at the meat on the table reluctantly, then turned around and left.

Father Zheng sighed and asked everyone to sit down and eat.

Only then did the courtyard become lively again.
