Gou Sheng thanked her profusely, then kicked his stupid wife, saying, "Speak up, are you mute?"

"Thank you for sparing my life, Madam Mo!" Gou Sheng's wife quickly kowtowed.

Liu Cuihua spat and said, "Shameless! You're shameless enough, but don't you even care about your husband and son's reputation?"

"That's right, Gousheng must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to marry you!"

"Gousheng, is there any point in keeping a wife like this for the New Year? Divorce her immediately, our Nanping Town can't afford to lose face like this."

"That's right, Gousheng, you should divorce this woman. She doesn't look like a good person at all. Your sister-in-law will find you a smart and clever one..."

The villagers, young and old, couldn't stand it anymore. Gou Sheng's wife was asking for it; if she wasn't disciplined for a day, she'd be tearing the tiles off the roof three days in a row!

Gousheng's wife was pale and stole glances at Gousheng, wondering if her husband would kick her out.

"Aren't you going back yet?" Gou Sheng was furious and kicked his wife again, then grabbed her collar and hurriedly went down the mountain.

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, and Li Changgeng waved his hand, signaling them to disperse.

Liu Cuihua's face turned somewhat grim: "Honey, let's quit being the village chief. I'm not afraid of bad things happening, I'm afraid of a lack of good people."

"Let's go home first..." Li Changgeng sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness.

Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated: "Village Chief, don't overthink it. All the men and women who helped, please come to my house for dinner tomorrow night. I thank you very much!"

Everyone: "..."

Is this for real?

Li Changgeng opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Liu Cuihua tugged at Mo Qingcheng's sleeve: "Sister Mo, let's just forget about this little thing?"

"Sister-in-law, we can't let good people down. It's just a meal. Money can be earned back. Don't you think that makes sense?" Mo Qingcheng thought to herself. Treating everyone to a meal would have many benefits. Next time something like this happened, she wouldn't even need to lift a finger; someone would be watching...

Liu Cuihua nodded slowly: "But isn't your sister-in-law just worried about you? You have to be careful with your money when you live, let me tell you..."

Seeing Liu Cuihua and Mo Qingcheng chatting and laughing with their heads tilted, it was impossible for the other young wives not to feel jealous. They felt a pang of envy. They were all wives of other men, so why was there such a big difference between them?

Mo Qingcheng chuckled at Liu Cuihua's incessant chatter across from her; her sister-in-law was only looking out for her, how thoughtful...

Back home, Mo Qingcheng locked herself in her room and started fiddling with things, not allowing anyone to enter. Mu Wanqing pouted, feeling utterly dejected; her mother no longer loved her.

When Bai Yueniang had nothing to do, she cooked with Liu Cuihua and Third Grandma. She was amazed to find that Third Grandma's cooking skills were so good.

Grandma San smiled without saying a word, knowing that if they wanted to earn more money, they would have to use their best skills.

Liu Cuihua couldn't help but gasp. They say old ginger is spicier, and it's absolutely true. If she hadn't been lucky, she might have really been outshone by Third Grandma...

Mo Qingcheng smiled broadly when she saw the dinner on the table. She praised Third Grandmother, Liu Cuihua, and finally Bai Yueniang.

"Pfft..." Bai Yueniang burst out laughing: "Sister Mo, keep praising me, or I'll lose my bearings..."

"It doesn't matter if you can't find north, as long as you can find your brother-in-law..." Mo Qingcheng joked.

"Pfft...cough cough..." Bai Yueniang almost choked to death, her old face turned red, and she lowered her head.

Liu Cuihua slapped her thigh: "That's right, look at your memory, Yue Niang, which young master have you taken a fancy to? I'll run errands for you after I've eaten..."

"Moon Lady, Third Grandmother and your sister-in-law Cuihua will act as matchmakers for you," Third Grandmother said with a smile.

"Cough cough..." Bai Yueniang choked and coughed incessantly.

A large hand waved in front of her eyes: "Moon, have a glass of water..."
