Although the banquet was not held until noon, many people had already rushed over when they heard the news. The women were already sitting at the table eating sunflower seeds and chatting about their daily lives. The men were all gathered around smoking cigarettes and chatting about the harvest of the crops.
Chen Li and Yun Shan saw this bustling scene as soon as they came back. Normally, the couple would also think that it was very good, but now they did not think so.
“Third brother, third sister-in-law, why are you here?”
Liu Fang was still very surprised when she saw the figures of these two people, afraid that these two people would come back to snatch the gift money. After all, she still understood that one had to pay the price in order to achieve something.
They had painstakingly spent a lot of effort organizing this banquet. They had also spent a lot of money to rent these tables and chairs and hire a chef. If this couple suddenly came back and took away all the gift money, then… That would mean that they had once again failed, right?!
“You are holding a banquet at home, but why did neither of us know about it?” Yun Shan questioned.
“What are you talking about, third brother?”. “Something good has happened in our family, so we definitely have to prepare well. It’s just that I thought that you live far away from the city. The third sister-in-law has not been three months into her pregnancy yet so it is still unstable. I was just concerned about third sister-in-law. I was afraid that something would happen to her, so I didn’t ask them to go to the county town to bring you back.”
Every word of Liu Fang’s was her consideration for Chen Li. In front of so many relatives and friends, if Yun Shan did not give Liu Fang a way out, he would seem as if he did not know what was good for him.
“Yes, yes. You see, eldest sister-in-law is also thinking for the younger sister-in-law. We can all understand that,” a man at the middle table said.
At this moment, this person was Liu Fang’s cousin. It was Liu Fang who had especially found him to help her suppress the situation.
Yun Shan and Chen Li were at a loss for words. They did not know how to refute it.
“Third sister-in-law is pregnant now. The two of you should stop standing here and take a seat in the house! Thinking that there would be a lot of guests today, I have also tidied up the room that you stayed in before. You can go back to the house to rest now. There is no dust at all.”
In order to shut the couple up, Liu Fang drove them into the room.
Some of Liu Fang’s female friends also crowded over and pushed and supported the two people into the old house of room three.
Liu Fang looked at the soft couple and was very satisfied. As long as there was not that wretched girl, Yun Xi, there would not be any trouble today.
However, Liu Fang had made a mistake. After Yun Qiao returned to the county, she did not come back with them. Instead, she went to school.
After Yun Qiao went to school, she told Yun Xi about what happened at home today. Yun Xi cursed in her heart. She started to fear that her parents’ personalities were still too soft. In the end, they would be taken advantage of by the shameless people of Yung Gang’s family. Therefore, she immediately used the excuse that she was not feeling well to ask for leave from the teacher and went home to resolve this matter.
After all, Yun Xi was a good student. She did not have any other bad records such as skipping class. Therefore, the teacher did not have any doubts about why she was not feeling well at all. She immediately signed a leave of absence and told Yun Xi to go home to recuperate.
“You should take care of the school’s matters more. I have urgent matters to attend to and I need to make a trip home quickly…”
Yun Xi packed up her things and left the school after giving Jing Yu a few simple instructions.
As the saying goes, money makes the mare go. Yun Xi relied on her money to find a reliable car rental shop. The people from the car rental shop discussed for a while and booked the fastest carriage for her to rush back to her hometown. When she was discussing with this shop, Yun Xi was only concerned with speed and did not mention anything about the price.
“Alright, don’t worry, this is definitely the fastest carriage here.”
Yun Xi boarded the carriage and set off on the road back to her hometown.
