C74 Yearning

"Congratulations, Yiming. The design of your new house is really nice." A woman praised.

"Yes, Yiming, you are very handsome today, very energetic." When Sister Su said that, many girls blushed and looked over at Xiao Yiming. Wasn't he 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." Xiao Yiming wasn't tired of listening to all these. He couldn't stop smiling as he called everyone to take a seat. Then, he heard curses coming from outside.

The one who was forcing his way in was none other than Qiu Family who had been deliberately ignored by the Xiao Family. Auntie Qiu was now desperately squeezing in with the hand of the cuckoo.

"Get out of the way, don't block my old woman. If I want to find Xiao Yiming, why would I ignore our Qiu Family? Don't tell me our Qiu Family is not from the village?"

Auntie Qiu pulled Qiu Ju inside like a crab. The old man at her house was extremely thin-skinned.

He said that Xiao Family people aren't treating us, and we just kept sticking to him, isn't that just slapping ourselves in the face?

She did not care about all this. This village's customs had already persisted for hundreds of years, why would they make an exception when they reached the Xiao Family?

When the surrounding villagers saw the pair of mother and daughter, their eyes revealed ridicule, "So Xiao Family did not invite Qiu Family to eat wine?"

"Yeah, I only found out about it now, no wonder I didn't see Auntie Qiu's shadow. 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's eyebrows were raised as she shouted at the top of her lungs.

The Village Chief was talking to Xiao Yiming at the moment, and upon seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frown. This Auntie Qiu was really a troublesome shrew.

"Auntie Qiu, why are you here? I don't remember our Xiao Family inviting you here." Xiao Yiming walked over and mocked her 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's smile was not a smile, and 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 pulled on the corner of Auntie Qiu's clothes and said in an embarrassed voice.

"You shut up." After reprimanding her daughter, Auntie Qiu's old face turned ashen. "So I'm here. So 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."

Luo Mannmann naturally came out after the commotion outside. Seeing Auntie Qiu present, she could guess the cause of the commotion and pulled Xiao Yiming, who was on the verge of erupting, along.

"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 Mannmann said this, she smiled. "Everyone, do you agree?"

"Yes." The villagers laughed. Mrs. Xiao's scolding was really powerful.

If it was anyone else who heard this, they would definitely leave in anger, but it was Auntie Qiu who didn't realize this. She pulled Qiu Ju's hand and found a seat with a swagger.

These nasty words are nothing, eating and drinking are more important. Today, I have to eat my fill so that you guys can show off.

All the villagers threw disgusted looks at her. Other than Granny Liu, who took the initiative to fight with her over a table, there really wasn't anyone from the village who was willing to sit at the same table as Auntie Qiu.

Auntie Qiule's satisfaction was best if she ate one table at a time.

Luo Mannmann was too lazy to bother with her and returned to the kitchen to continue her work. However, she didn't expect Auntie Qiu to quietly follow them over to the kitchen to watch everyone get busy. Her eyes lit up when she saw third aunt.

third aunt, Granny Liu, and Auntie Qiu. Previously, they had all been good friends in the village, but now that third aunt had jumped out and hugged Luo Mannmann's thigh, she had gotten some benefits out of it, causing Auntie Qiu's heart to itch.

"Ya, third aunt, you're so busy. Let me be your assistant." In front of Luo Mannmann, Auntie Qiu intimately held onto third aunt's arm as she tried to curry favor with her.

"How can I do anything if you hold my arm like this?" third aunt's face was cold. She had already washed her face clean, so she didn't want to get involved with her anymore.

"third aunt, don't be like this. I'm here to help out with good intentions."

third aunt shot a glance at her. She was wearing flowery clothes, which she rarely saw Aunt Xiao wearing, but it looked rather new. She probably took out the new clothes at the bottom of the chest to show off, just like that.

"Let's go, let's not get in the way here." third aunt directly pulled her out by her arm. She had just finished cooking, so she didn't even wash her hands. At this moment, she saw that Auntie Qiu's sleeves were covered in grease.

Auntie Qiu frowned. "You'll have to compensate me with my new clothes. Look, there are stains on them."

"Hey, didn't you say you cheated again?"

Luo Mannmann didn't say anything. She picked up a bowl of water that had just shed its feathers and headed towards the kitchen entrance. With a "hualala" sound, Auntie Qiu's shoes would have probably been drenched if she didn't dodge quickly.

"You bastard, where are you going to throw it? "Luo Mannmann, you did it 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 Mannmann 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 and quickly left. She was just here to see what the dishes would be for 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 Mannmann was busy in the kitchen, thinking about something. She was completely unaware of when Xiao Yiming had come in. "Wifey, what are you thinking about?"

"I just saw Du Dazhuang's wife, she's pretty pretty."

"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."

"But that woman's arrogant look makes you think she's the kind that's always coming and going. Just now, Du Dazhuang was thirsty so he couldn't even move when he asked her to bring a cup of tea. It was Wang Ergou's wife who saw it and quickly passed the teapot over …"

Luo Mannmann thought back to a few days ago. Hei Ya had also come to the Xiao Family to build a house a few times, but she clearly came here to give Wang Ergou face and to deliver refreshments to the workers. What was she planning?

"Village Head's Home has such a great face. Naturally, daughter-in-law looks for a suitable match. It was Wang Ergou who got lucky and let him pick up such a good wife." Xiao Yiming could see the change in Wang Ergou's expression, and he was also happy in his heart.

"I didn't expect Hei Ya to be so capable, to have completely submissive to Wang Ergou …"

"That's right, it seems like Ergouzi is blessed. Every day, he's always been like honey to me. Aunt Wang is looking forward to it …"

"Anyway, I feel like that woman isn't as simple as she looks on the surface. Wang Ergou will suffer a loss sooner or later, hehe."

There was a flash of gossip in Luo Mannmann's eyes. Did she see it? Hei Ya's ambition was not small …

"Alright, my wife, let's not worry about other people's matters."

Xiao Yiming smiled and came over to help with the prepared dishes.

"Brother Liu Shan, sister-in-law is here. Please come in." Xiao Yiming busied himself with greeting people in the courtyard. Luckily, the courtyard was very spacious after the reconstruction. There were around a dozen tables and a hundred people should not be a problem.

The kitchen was bustling with activity. Luo Mannmann was so busy that she wanted to grow a pair of hands. At this moment, she saw a pair of bare hands helping her set up the plate.

"Um, Luo Mannmann, I just went to take a look around the kitchen and saw that you don't have enough manpower, so I came to help."

The cautious words of the cuckoo made Luo Mannmann's heart churn. "If you come to help me, I'll naturally be happy. I'm afraid I'll be tired."

"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. "

The cuckoo had already died once. It was as if she had been reborn. Perhaps such an experience wasn't a bad thing for her, but it was accompanied by rumors and painful changes.

"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 the cuckoo came out of the kitchen, she saw Aunt Du in the crowd. "My daughter, why are you carrying the plate?"

These words made her feel a little awkward. She could only quietly say: "Mother, we owe the Xiao Family a favor, so it is only right that we come to help."

"Help? What help? Your brother is the same, and so are you. The limelight on Xiao Family has almost overshadowed our family. I feel uncomfortable inside."

After the incident with the cuckoo, Aunt Du was often scolded at home by the village head. She had always said that if it wasn't for her being a snobbish woman who blew the wind around his pillow every day, the village head wouldn't have spent such a large amount of money to send her daughter into 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?"
