Chapter 675 I am your biological father

Cheng Wanwan never expected that her family's guards would suddenly become so sought-after.

The maids who serve at home are now being stared at by the women and old women in town every day, and they hardly ever go out anymore.

Cheng Wanwan was happy to see this happen.

Since the only option for women in this era was to get married, she hoped that the maids would have more choices.

Of course, if the maids were unwilling to get married, she would arrange their future path for them. In short, she would not let the maids suffer any loss.

Soon, the wedding date for Cheng Jia and Daya arrived.

The wedding banquet was held in Cheng Yuanyuan's yard, and some familiar people in the village were invited to be guests, as well as all the servants in Cheng Yuanyuan's yard.

The wedding ceremony is also held in this courtyard. After the banquet, the bride and groom go to the bridal chamber together.

Cheng Jia was wearing a bright red groom's suit, and Daya, who was also wearing a wedding dress, was beside him. The two of them walked into the hall hand in hand, holding red silk.

The old woman with perfect fortune announced loudly: "Red candles illuminate the hall with joy, and relatives and friends line both sides."

"The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth and offer red candles!"

The dragon and phoenix wedding candles were immediately lit in the hall.

"I bow to the spirit of heaven and earth; our destiny is sealed on the Three Lives Stone. I kowtow once..."

The lobby was filled with jubilation, and everyone was immersed in joy.

Just then, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "Oh, a happy occasion? My own daughter is getting married, and I, as her father, am not even given a seat of honor? Do you not respect the Liu family?"

Everyone turned around and saw Liu Kui standing in the courtyard, dressed in silk clothes with a green jade pendant hanging from his waist, looking like a country gentleman.

He put his hands behind his back and sneered, "If the couple has broken up, so be it, but Daya has the blood of the Liu family flowing in her veins. When she gets married, I must take the seat of honor."

The villagers were shocked to see him like this.

"Isn't this Da Ya Niang's ex-husband? Didn't Da Ya Niang divorce him and even put him in jail? How come he's been released?"

"Looks like he's doing pretty well. Maybe he's just got lucky."

"But seriously, he's Daya's biological father after all. It's normal for a biological father to come and have a drink at his daughter's wedding."

"We've already severed ties, so why are you still here? It's disgusting just to see you."

As the villagers discussed it, Cheng Yuanyuan's face gradually turned pale.

She thought Liu Kui would stay in prison for at least ten years. How come he was released in such a short time?

As soon as she saw Liu Kui, she thought of the days when she was beaten and powerless to resist. She really didn't want to recall them.

Today is the auspicious day for her daughter's wedding, and she will never allow Liu Kui to destroy their peaceful life that has finally been settled.

She took a deep breath and was about to walk out.

Then, Daya, dressed in her wedding gown, suddenly ripped off her red veil, rushed out of the hall, and ran to Liu Kui.

Then, without warning, he kicked her hard.

"You think you're qualified to be my father?" she shouted angrily, hands on her hips. "Let me tell you, my surname is Cheng, my name is Cheng Daya, and my father died a long time ago. If you insist on being my father, I won't hesitate to beat you half to death!"

She kicked him again in anger.

Liu Kui was shocked and furious: "How dare you lay hands on your own father? This is extremely unfilial. I will go to the government to sue you and have you arrested!"

When he beat up that woman Cheng Yuanyuan before, Daya had fought with him before, but he could just swing his arm to knock the girl away. But now this girl is so strong that he, a grown man, is no match for her at all.

Daya had long harbored resentment towards this father, and now that he had come to her, she had to vent her anger.

Just as she was about to continue, she was stopped by Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia said calmly: "Daya is your biological daughter, so it is indeed inappropriate for her to take action. However, you and I have nothing to do with each other——"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch.

As a martial arts practitioner, his strength was many times greater than that of Da Ya. This punch caused two streams of blood to flow from Liu Kui's nose.

That wasn't enough. He lifted Liu Kui up, punched him in the chin, then punched him in the left, then in the right...

Liu Kui was beaten so hard that he saw stars and begged for mercy: "Stop it, I'll leave, isn't it okay for me to leave..."

Cheng Jia sneered, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and threw him out of the courtyard.

With a loud thud, the sound of Liu Kui falling to the ground came from outside the courtyard, along with his shrill scream.

Cheng Jia then took the red veil from the side and put it back on the girl. His voice became softer: "From now on, just give an order. It's better to let men do this kind of thing."

Under the red veil, Daya's face turned red and she hummed softly.

The worship ceremony continues.

Cheng Wanwan's expression was somewhat cold.

Liu Kui hasn't been to Dahe Town for such a long time, but he came here today in a careless manner. I always feel that there is something fishy going on.

She felt uneasy and once again instructed people to keep a close eye on Liu Kui, and that no matter what happened, Liu Kui was not allowed to enter the village.

Without Liu Kui causing trouble, the wedding ended perfectly.

After getting married, Cheng Jia no longer lived in Cheng Wanwan's courtyard. However, he was still the head of the guards in the courtyard, and Cheng Wanwan would also assign him any tasks, just like before.

It's now late May, and with the weather warming up, things are getting busy again.

The crayfish in May and June have grown up. Although they are not that big, they can still be served on the table. Merchants from Yangzhou and Qingzhou began to come to buy crayfish.

The docks of Dahe Town were filled with all kinds of luxurious merchant ships, their flags waving in the distance, creating a lively and grand scene.

This year's crayfish farming is several times more than last year, and the total output can reach about 300,000 to 400,000 kilograms.

Mr. He from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce was delighted. "Last year, when lobsters hit the market, they became an overnight sensation in Yangzhou, attracting many merchants to join the Chamber of Commerce. Everyone is anticipating this year's blockbuster success. The lobsters of early summer are so tender and delicious, they're sure to be a hit again. I'm planning to buy 10,000 kilograms at once. I wonder if Lady Sui can arrange for them to come over?"

Shopkeeper She from Qingzhou also said, "Although the steamed shrimp with garlic sauce isn't as popular as the heavy-flavored braised shrimp, it has also caused quite a stir in Qingzhou. However, there aren't as many wealthy people in Qingzhou as in Yangzhou. For the first time, I'll order 2,000 kilograms. Please ask Lady Sui to arrange it."

Cheng Wanwan smiled and said, "These crayfish are all freshly caught, so the survival rate will be higher. I'll make sure they're ready for you two by sunrise tomorrow, how about that?"

The two naturally agreed, and it was a good opportunity to see if there were any other business opportunities in Dahe Town.

Cheng Wanwan wrote a shipping order and asked Wu Xiaochui to arrange people to catch lobsters.

The villagers in Lijiagou had been preparing for half a year but had not made a penny. Naturally, Cheng Wanwan would give priority to purchasing the shrimp they raised.

Just like last year, the purchase price of crayfish is 800 wen, and she takes a layer of profit. That is to say, for every kilogram of crayfish sold by the people in Lijiagou, they can get more than 700 wen, and the net profit is more than 500 wen. This amount of money is a huge sum for people who have been digging for food in the soil all their lives.

The people of Lijiagou were immersed in deep joy.

Around June, when it gets hot, the tomatoes gradually turn red, and villages that grow tomatoes also receive a significant extra income.

As for potatoes, they mature a little later and will have to wait a little longer, but the villagers know that as long as they are crops that Sui Gongren asks them to grow, they will definitely be sold at a high price.
