The reason we were certain they were heading towards Gu Hanping's house was because of Gu Hongmei's behavior just now.

They seem to be relatives.

Otherwise, Gu Hongmei really wouldn't have needed to go up and say hello.

Gu Hongmei is not the type of person who likes to take the initiative to greet others.

She had a kind of social anxiety that comes with later generations.

Gu Yunyang originally didn't intend to interfere, but after thinking about it, he still greeted them and came down the mountain.

"Uncle, you guys keep digging. I'll go check on the field."

As the brigade secretary, I can't just ignore everything.

At least go and take a look at the cowshed and pigsty.

The piglet is growing every day, and it's already quite big now.

Before Gu Yunyang could come down, someone called out to Gu Hanping in the field, and to Gu Yunyang's surprise, someone also called out to Cao Ying.

"Cao Ying, your parents and brothers have arrived."

It turned out that those menacing people who came over were Cao Ying's maternal relatives.

Cao Ying immediately smiled, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

Gu Yunyang felt that it wasn't hard to guess.

No one else has his ability to control animals, so Cao Ying probably still thinks that her family members coming over will bring her some benefits.

Gu Hanping cursed inwardly, "These in-laws are no good people. They don't come here unless they need something. They've never come before, and the whole family is here to beg for money, aren't they?"

He didn't know why Cao Ying's family had come.

But with such a large family coming, and Cao Ying's family members obviously not bringing their own food rations.

The whole family, all of them able-bodied adults, each eats at least three bowls of rice.

Does the eldest son's family have enough food to eat?

Although Gu Hanping thought this to himself, since his in-laws had come, he got up and decided to go back and see them.

Cao Ying, beaming with joy, washed her hands and prepared to go back to check on things.

Others may not know, but she does.

"My parents came with my older and younger brothers. Did they come to bring me something?"

A few days ago, she did something really big.

Hao Pingping frowned behind her. In fact, she had been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law from the very beginning.

If it weren't for her son's insistence, she would never have let Cao Ying into the house.

The eldest son was obedient since childhood, but during this matter of getting a wife, he began to harbor rebellious thoughts.

How could these parents possibly argue with their son?

After making a fuss for a while, they still had to exhaust all their money to pay the bride price, buy furniture, and even install twenty-four legs to finally marry her.

But Cao Ying was always causing trouble at home, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

So when the opportunity arose, I simply separated my eldest son's family from the family.

The elderly couple raised their second and third children.

The second and third sons are still not married, which is considered quite late in the countryside.

"Please don't let anything happen, otherwise it won't be easy for the second son to find a partner."

In rural areas, it's not uncommon for men to get married at eighteen; in fact, it's the norm.

Twenty-year-olds can run around everywhere.

During this time, Hao Pingping has been discussing with matchmakers about finding a partner for Gu Changsong.

She had a feeling that Cao Ying hadn't been doing anything good lately, so after thinking about it, she asked the squad leader for leave and planned to go back and check on her.

Cao Ying rushed back in high spirits, walking along the road with a cheerful expression.

She even wondered if her parents had brought anything or money with them.

"At least five pounds of pork belly, right? If not five pounds, three pounds will do. Don't think half a pound of pork fat is so great, look at what my parents brought... Parents? You..."
