Chapter 72 The grand celebration of the birthday party made the Shi family stand tall with pride.

Shi Liu was all smiles.

At this moment, I was overjoyed.

Even though she was already so beautiful she was almost losing her bearings, Shi Liushi insisted on maintaining a haughty demeanor.

She tried to wipe the joy from her old face, then sat back down, deliberately humming as if bestowing a favor, "Hmm! It's good that Shi Yu is such a sensible girl!"

"If she can win me over, it's not impossible for her and her daughter to come back."

The messenger's lips twitched twice.

She gave an awkward laugh, utterly bewildered.

Shi Yu is doing so well now, isn't it good that she and her mother are living a happy and prosperous life?

They insisted on fawning over Shi Liu.

Isn't that crazy?

Shi Jiaojiao, who was standing next to her, pouted, feeling jealous.

At the same time, she also felt that it wasn't that simple. Shi Yu was now showing no respect to the Shi family and wanted to stay far away from them. Why would she send such a generous gift to Shi Liu Shi?

How could that be?

Thinking of this, Shi Jiaojiao kindly reminded Shi Liushi, "Grandma, after the family division, Shi Yu has always been at odds with us. Would she really be so kind?"

"Be careful not to fall for her tricks again!"

Shi Liu was in a state of smug satisfaction and had no intention of listening to any objections.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.

"Well, you little slut, you can't stand to see the Shi family doing well, can you? What are you thinking saying such things at a time like this? We've wasted our time raising you!"

Shi Liu's face darkened. She cursed as she raised her hand and pinched Shi Jiaojiao hard.

"ah!"

Shi Jiaojiao winced in pain and shrugged to the side, her eyes reddening with the pain.

She felt extremely wronged.

However, although she harbored resentment, she dared not speak out against Shi Liu.

...

When Shi Yu returned home, Huang Ying was completely stunned when she saw him.

"Fish...fish, did you buy these pigs and chickens?" After a long while, she finally found her voice.

“Yes!” Shi Yu nodded with a smile, “Raising more poultry at home would make it more lively.”

"And in the future, we will not only be able to drink goat milk, but also have eggs, pork and other things."

"oh oh!"

Huang Ying nodded subconsciously.

Even after she and Shi Yu had settled the pigs and chickens, she still felt like she was walking on clouds, dizzy and unreal.

Life went smoothly, and their prosperity grew ever stronger.

Was this the kind of happy life she could have imagined before?

But the most exciting thing is yet to come.

Around 10 p.m., the old sow that Shi Yu bought gave birth to piglets.

Huff, huff!

There were thirteen piglets at once.

The fluffy creatures all huddled around the sow, nudging and shoving as they looked on with delight.

Huang Ying excitedly grabbed Shi Yu's hand and couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! Yu Yu, look! Fourteen pigs! We have fourteen pigs in total now!!!"

At this moment, it feels more like a dream.

No.

To be precise, I wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

Not to mention Chang'an Village, even the wealthy families in the county don't have such abundant livestock.

“Yes, Mother.” Shi Yu smiled at her.

Actually, she didn't expect that this sow would be so productive.

Fearing that the sow wouldn't produce enough milk, Shi Yu specially brought over a basin of milk to supplement its nutrition.

After everything was settled, the mother and daughter went back to their room to sleep.

...

The next day, Shi Yu and Huang Ying got up early.

Because today is a very "important" day, the mother and daughter made a special effort to tidy themselves up.

After being specially nourished by the fish during this period, Huang Ying's originally dry and split hair became shiny and glossy, subtly radiating a faint luster as she moved.

Her face was fair and delicate, and she was even more beautiful than a girl in her early twenties.

She specially changed into the suit that Shi Yu had bought for her when he went to town last time.

The delicate pleated waist perfectly accentuates the curves of a woman's figure.

Standing there, she shone brightly, making Huang Ying look exceptionally beautiful.

After looking her over, Shi Yu smiled with satisfaction.

Then, she deliberately took out an exquisite tin box from the cabinet and put the divorce certificate that belonged to Shi Daqiang inside.

"Mother, let's go."

"Why!"

The mother and daughter exchanged a smile and glance, then linked arms and walked out of the house, looking quite spirited.

...

On the other side, the Shi family home was bustling with activity.

Some islanders who had previously refused to pay attention to them and whom Shi Liu had not invited unexpectedly came to their door today.

Yesterday, Shi Yu made a high-profile return to the island, causing quite a stir.

Everyone knows that the Shi family is not what it used to be, and their conditions are about to improve.

Naturally, the urge to curry favor with him arose.

Today, as the birthday girl, Shi Liushi took out her most beloved red and blue dress from her most treasured possession.

Her hair was combed very neatly.

Looking at everyone's support and enthusiasm, her old face was full of excitement.

"Good, good, good! You've all come today, you're really giving this old woman face!"

"Of course, sister-in-law. Sixty-six is ​​a very auspicious age. We can share in the good fortune by coming here."

"That's right!"

"As your family, Old Shi, prospers in the future, don't forget about us, your fellow villagers!"

The crowd surrounded Shi Liushi, and regardless of their motives, they all spoke words of flattery and praise.

Shi Liu felt very comfortable after hearing this, and even her confidence was boosted.

"Don't worry, I know who treats this old woman well!" she said smugly.

The other members of the Shi family, such as Shi Daqiang and Shi Dashan, also felt that they had straightened their backs, raised their eyebrows in triumph, and puffed out their chests.

Just then, Shi Yu and his mother Huang Ying arrived.

"Look! Isn't that Shi Yu and Huang Ying, mother and daughter?"

After someone with sharp eyes shouted, everyone looked over.

"Um?"

Shi Liu stretched her neck and peered behind Shi Yu several times, but did not see the pig or the hen. Disappointed, her face darkened.

"Shiyu, what's wrong with you? Where's the congratulatory gift I prepared? Why didn't you bring it?"

"A congratulatory gift? What congratulatory gift?" Shi Yu pretended to be confused.

"The sow and two hens you bought from town yesterday!"

"Ha!" Upon hearing this, Shi Yu laughed, and then she deliberately raised her voice, saying loudly and deliberately, "Who told you that was a congratulatory gift for you? It was clearly something we bought to keep as a pet."

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Liu and the others were stunned.

The expressions of the others present were quite subtle.

Look at me, and I'll look at you.

Finally, all the conflicting gazes fell on Shi Liu's old face.

Could it be that Lady Liu was simply being presumptuous at this point?

Some people even couldn't wait to reveal their gloating expressions.

Shi Liu was so embarrassed that she almost bit her teeth to pieces.

"Shiyu, you shameless brat, you came empty-handed? Is this how your mother taught you?"
