"Congratulations, Yiming. Your new house is a welcome move. The design of your new house is really beautiful." A woman praised.
"That's right. Yiming, you are so handsome today. You are so spirited." When Big Sis Su said this, many ladies blushed and looked towards Xiao Yiming. Isn't he just handsome?
His brown clothes accentuated his muscular body, his skin was the color of wheat, and his facial features were clearly outlined.
If it wasn't for the simple smile on his face that attracted his attention and if he was wearing brocade clothes, he would definitely be a handsome young master.
"Everyone, you're too kind. This way please." was not bored by what he had said today, the smile on his face could not stop, and he called for everyone to take a seat. Just then, curses came from outside.
The one who forced his way into the crowd was none other than the Qiu Family that the Xiao Family purposely ignored. Auntie Qiu held onto the hand of the cuckoo and desperately squeezed in.
"Get out of my way, don't block my old woman's way. If I want to find Xiao Yiming, why would I ignore our Qiu Family? Isn't our Qiu Family a villager?"
Auntie Qiu pulled Qiu Ju inside like a crab. That dead old man at home had extremely thin skin.
They said that the Xiao family wasn't going to treat us, yet we stuck our heads on them. Isn't this just slapping ourselves in the face?
She didn't care about all that. The village's customs had already persisted for hundreds of years. Why was there a need to make an exception when she came to the Xiao family?
When the surrounding villagers saw this mother and daughter duo, ridicule could be seen in their eyes, "So the Xiao family did not invite the Qiu family over for wine?"
"That's right, I only found out now, no wonder I didn't see the shadow of the Auntie Qiu. I told you, if that flea of hers had come, it would have jumped a long time ago." Some villagers could not stand to be interrupted.
"Say it again if you dare. Who are you calling a flea?" Auntie Qiu raised her eyebrows and shouted.
The village chief was talking to Xiao Yiming right now, and upon seeing this scene, his eyebrows couldn't help but constrict.
"Auntie Qiu, why are you here? I don't remember our Xiao family inviting you here." Xiao Yiming walked over, and said sarcastically while looking at her wrinkled face.
"Um, hehe, isn't your house hosting a banquet today? You're so busy, it's impossible for you to call everyone over, so here I am." Auntie Qiu didn't smile on the outside, her face was as thick as a city wall.
"Auntie Qiu, do you have a bad memory? Do you need me to remind you that our Xiao family has long since had nothing to do with your Qiu Family …" Xiao Yiming sneered.
"Um, Mom, let's go back." Qiu Ju who was at the side pulled at the corner of Auntie Qiu's clothes and said in an embarrassed voice.
"You shut up." After berating her, Auntie Qiu's old face turned ashen, "So I'm here. No matter what, we're all from the same village, is there a need for you to be so ruthless?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, this damned woman really knows how to invert right and wrong."
"That's right, he's too shameless."
Seeing Auntie Qiu present, she could also guess the cause and effect of the commotion. She pulled at Xiao Yiming who was currently at the edge of fury:
"Forget it, today is a good day. Don't bother with her. Even if a beggar came to our house, we should still give him a few mouthfuls of food, let alone one from the village."
When Luo Manman said this, she smiled: "Everyone, do you agree?"
"Yes." The villagers roared with laughter, this move of Xiao Family Wife's was truly amazing.
If it was anyone else who heard this, they would definitely leave in anger, but the Auntie Qiu just didn't have that kind of realization. She pulled Qiu Ju's hand and swaggered to a seat.
The villagers all threw in looks of disgust. Other than Liu Yao, who took the initiative to fight with her, there were really no villagers willing to sit at the same table as her.
Luo Manman could not be bothered with her, and returned to the kitchen to continue her work, but she did not expect that Auntie Qiu would also come sneaking in, and when she arrived at the kitchen and saw everyone busy, her eyes lit up.
Sanniang, Liu Yao, Auntie Qiu, used to be the village's three mouths, they could be considered to be in cahoots with each other. But now that Sanniang had jumped out and hugged Luo Manman's leg, she obtained some benefits, causing Auntie Qiu's heart to itch.
"Ya, Sanniang, you're so busy. Let me help you." In front of Luo Manman, the Auntie Qiu was intimately holding onto Sanniang's arm, trying to curry favor with him.
"How can I do anything if you hold my arm like this?" Sanniang's face was cold. She had already cleansed to the point that she did not want to get involved with her anymore.
"Sanniang, don't be like this, I'm here to help out with good intentions."
Sanniang glanced at her, wearing flowery clothes. Although she rarely saw Xiao Niang wearing this, it looked rather new, probably because she took out her new clothes to show off. She dressed like this, not like she was working.
"Let's go, let's not get in the way here." Sanniang directly pulled her out by the arm. After cooking, he did not even wash his hands and only saw that there were grease stains on Auntie Qiu's sleeves.
Auntie Qiu frowned, she had a huge opinion, "The new clothes that you compensate me with, there are stains on them."
"Hey, didn't you say you cheated again?"
Luo Manman didn't say anything, but picked up a bowl of water that had just shed its feathers and headed towards the kitchen's entrance. With a "hualala" sound, if not for Auntie Qiu's quick dodging, her shoes would have probably been drenched all over.
"You bastard, where are you going to throw it? Luo Manman, you did this on purpose, right? " Auntie Qiu was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"You're wrong. I did it intentionally. If you continue to cause trouble, do you believe that I will kick you out of here immediately?" Luo Manman raised her eyebrows.
"You dare?"
"Do you think I dare?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to fight with you." Auntie Qiu smacked her lips a few times, then quickly left. She was just here to see what kind of dishes would be served today.
Just now, she saw fish, meat, and chickens … Today's dishes were truly rich. It had been a long time since she had eaten a big meal, and today she was definitely going to open her stomach and eat to her heart's content. She would even drool if she kept thinking like this.
Luo Manman was busy thinking things while she was busy in the kitchen, she did not even notice when Xiao Yiming came in, "My wife, what are you thinking about?"
"I just saw Du Dazhuang's wife, he's pretty beautiful."
"Oh, his wife is a beauty from the neighboring village. Naturally, her looks aren't bad. In my eyes, his wife is still the most beautiful."
"Just look at how haughty that woman is. She was just thirsty and couldn't even move when she was asked to bring a cup of tea. It was Wang Ergou's daughter-in-law who saw it and immediately passed the teapot over."
Luo Manman recalled how, a few days ago, Hei Ya had also come to the Xiao Family to build a house. She was obviously trying to give Wang Ergou face and give refreshments to the workers.
"Village Head Home has such a great face. Naturally, daughter-in-law would look for a suitable match. It seems that Wang Ergou got lucky and got him to pick up such a good daughter-in-law." Xiao Yiming could see the change in the Wang Ergou, and he was very happy in his heart.
"I didn't expect that Hei Ya had some skills, she managed to completely subdue Wang Ergou …"
"That's right. It looks like Ergou-zi is very happy. He's like he's having fun every day. Aunt Wang is really looking forward to it …"
"In any case, I feel that woman is not as simple as she looks on the surface. Wang Ergou will definitely suffer a loss sooner or later, hehe."
A hint of gossip flashed past Luo Manman's eyes, could it be that only she could see it? This Hei Ya is very ambitious …
"Alright, my wife, let's not worry about other people's matters."
Xiao Yiming smiled and said as he came over to help them, to help with the dishes they cooked.
The kitchen was bustling with activity, Luo Manman was so busy that she wanted to grow an extra pair of hands. At this moment, she saw a pair of white hands helping her set up the plate, and when she looked up, she saw that it was actually cuckoo smiling at him:
"Um, Luo Manman, I just looked around the kitchen and saw that you don't have enough manpower, so I came over to help."
"Not tired, besides, which woman in the village has worked so hard like you? You're right, a woman needs to rely on herself. She doesn't have to rely on men to survive. "
"It would be best if you could think it through. The cuckoo dish has been stir-fried. Help me carry it out." If the cuckoo's heart isn't bad, it's willful,
When cuckoo came out of the kitchen, she saw Du Niang in the crowd, "My daughter, why are you carrying the plate?"
These words made her feel a little awkward. She could only whisper, "Mother, the Xiao family has done us a favor. It is only right that they come to help."
"Help me? Help me out? Your brother will do the same. You are also doing the same now. The Xiao family's reputation has almost overshadowed ours. I feel really uncomfortable."
After the incident with the cuckoo, Du Niang was often scolded by the village chief at home. She always claimed that if it wasn't for the fact that she was a woman who was always on his side, she wouldn't have spent so much money just to send her daughter to the fire pit.
"Alright, Mother. I'm not doing very well either. I can stay by your side everyday." The cuckoo held her arm in a coquettish embrace.
"Little girl, this is all for your own good. "Oh right, in the past few days, a matchmaker came to our house and told us that the Elementary Scholar is getting married. Do you think we should consider marrying her?" Even though the Elementary Scholar was only a second marriage, facing such a generous gift, she could not help but waver.
"Mother, didn't the Elementary Scholar just have a wife who died? This is like a matchmaker, you can see that it's an ungrateful thing, I don't want it. "
"Oh, cuckoo, you're not young anymore. If it wasn't for your pretty face, do you think it would have been so easy to remarry?"
