No one comes to sell food from the nearby villages anymore.

It seems that everyone has realized the seriousness of the problem.

Zhang Weiguo returned to the steel mill and looked at some listless buyers.

Before, when Zhang Weiguo asked them to collect more grain, they didn't take it seriously at all. Now that they can't collect grain, they are getting anxious.

Zhang Weiguo didn't care whether they could complete the task or not, so he let them figure it out on their own.

It was the weekend, and the cook came to the courtyard early in the morning.

The chef that the third aunt hired was a chef who specialized in preparing wedding banquets, and he charged two dollars for a meal.

Zhang Weiguo took out 100 kilograms of pork and ten hens.

There are also some other dishes.

Just let the cook do it all.

There were still ten tables of food, and the tableware was provided by each family.

In addition to tableware, you can also take some leftovers back.

With the help of the women in the courtyard, the meal can be cooked very quickly. The faster it is cooked, the sooner it can be eaten.

Many people did not eat breakfast this morning in order to eat more.

For example, the third uncle’s family has not eaten since last night, and have been waiting for today’s meal.

Shazhu was still lying in the hospital and didn't come. An old man didn't dare to come, so an old woman came.

The deaf old lady never got involved in anything and would never come out. If someone else would bring a bowl to the old lady, Zhang Weiguo would not do it.

Zhang Weiguo sent one copy to Grandma Wang.

Even though the trouble was caused by Jia Zhang, she came out to the banquet as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Weiguo arranged for her to live with the third aunt's family, and the two families had a banquet together, which was quite lively.

The three major families started preparing since last night, and Jia and Zhang were almost the same, having been waiting for today's meal since yesterday.

Today, Ran Qiuye dressed up the two little girls very beautifully. The two little girls were wearing the new clothes that Ran Qiuye bought for them.

Zhang Weiguo gave everyone a brief introduction and told them to start.

Everyone immediately prepared for battle. They were all acquaintances and it wasn't their first time having a meal together, so there was nothing to be shy about.

The big bosses all ate with their bellies opened, even the third uncle liked to drink and the second uncle did the same.

Normally, we would have to drink a glass, but now, there is no time. If you drink, the food will be eaten by others.

Especially the big pieces of fat meat, if others eat them and you don’t get to eat them, you would be at a great loss. Everyone has been eating steamed buns for many days, and it’s not easy to see the meat, so why not eat it with all your might.

That's eating one dish after another.

First, a bowl of braised pork was served, with large chunks of pork belly, which looked very tempting.

Then there are vegetables stir-fried with meat, and meat stewed with radish.

The last one is chicken stewed with mushrooms.

This is a big dish, a whole chicken stewed and placed in a large pot.

By the time we got to the last dish, most of the food had been eaten.

The main thing is that there is a lot of meat, with each table having ten kilograms of meat, and there is not much left.

On average, each person eats one pound of pork, and pork is not mutton.

I can eat several kilograms of mutton, but not pork.

How can we not have enough to eat? Let’s discuss how to divide it so that each family can take some back home.

We took the food home with us. The liquor was all Erguotou, so we hardly had time to drink it. We shared the rest.

Zhang Weiguo gave the chef two dollars, and I also gave the remaining two pounds of pork to the chef.

As expected of a wedding banquet specialist, he is no worse than Sha Zhu.

The taste is very delicious.

The chef charged two pounds of pork, and these two pounds of pork were worth two yuan.

Lou Xiao'e said, "I have picked out five houses. I can show you around. If you like any of them, I can sell them to you."

“That’s great.”

Ran Qiuye took the child home.

Zhang Weiguo took Lou Xiaoe out of the courtyard.

The first place we came to was a small Western-style building, which was a three-story building.

The two went in to check and found that no one lived there, so it had not been renovated and had always been empty.

Zhang Weiguo took a look and thought this house was pretty good.

Next, he looked at three more houses, all of which were tube-shaped buildings. Zhang Weiguo was not interested in any of them at all.

There is one last part, and this last part is quite interesting.

It’s not far from the courtyard house to which Zhang Weiguo owns the title deed.

This is also a courtyard house. The furniture and everything are complete. It is also very clean, and it seems that someone cleans it regularly.

“This is a good set.”

"Then you should buy this one."

"This apartment is one thousand dollars. We'll sign the contract later."

A set of four-story courtyard houses only costs one thousand yuan, which is really a big profit.

Zhang Weiguo even wanted to buy that small Western-style house as well.

"Everything in here is for you."

“That’s great.”

Zhang Weiguo directly gave Lou Xiaoe one thousand yuan.

The two wrote another contract.

The land deed was given to Zhang Weiguo.

"Lou Xiao'e, you really helped a lot this time. Thank you so much."

"We are all neighbors, you are welcome."

"Lou Xiao'e, there is something I am not sure whether I should tell you."

"If there is something you can't say, just say it directly."

"It's like this, I found Xu Fugui in the pigeon market."

"It's normal to go to the pigeon market now. What's the big deal?" said Lou Xiao'e.

"He went to sell small yellow croakers, and he did so more than once."

After Zhang Weiguo finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e's face changed. No one knew the situation of the Xu family better than her.

There was not even a dowry at that time, so how could the Xu family possibly give her small yellow croaker?

The Xu family doesn’t have small yellow croaker, but their family does.

The origin of the Xu family’s small yellow croaker is worth pondering.

"Who else knows about this?"

"Many people in the pigeon market have seen Xu Fugui. It is easy to find out about this matter in the pigeon market."

Lou Xiao'e sighed. Even if they found out, what would happen?

Those are her parents too.

Although they were not nice to Lou Xiao'e, as a lady from a wealthy family, Lou Xiao'e did not want to make the relationship too awkward.

"Well, there is one more thing."

"Just tell me if you have anything else to say. I don't believe there is anything worse than this."

"Xu Damao can't have children."

After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe cried so hard that she was tired.

"Is this true?"

"Real or fake, can't we find out after going to the hospital for a checkup?"

"With Mr. Lou's connections, there is still a way to get Xu Damao to check without him noticing."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly threw herself into Zhang Weiguo's arms.

I burst into tears immediately.

She was also wronged because others said she couldn't have children.

Especially Shazhu, who said she was a hen that didn't lay eggs.

Lou Xiao'e suffered a lot because of this incident. It turned out to be Xu Damao's problem, not hers at all.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e crying in his arms, he felt so pitiful. She was looked down upon for no reason.
