Gongzhu was relieved and focused on peeling shrimp for her granddaughter, ignoring her good-for-nothing son. Suddenly, she remembered something and added, "You can't do that either. We still need to give Niu Niu a younger brother or sister!"

Niu Niu nodded solemnly, held out one hand, then another, and said seriously, "So many, a whole string of them."

That way, she can lead a bunch of younger siblings to conquer the world.

Gongzhu was amused and laughed heartily. She placed the peeled shrimp in the small bowl in front of Niu Niu. Her granddaughter was so smart; there was no child in the whole world smarter than her granddaughter.

Miao Tianxiong blushed, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his daughter's mouth. "That brat, I don't know what she's thinking all day. It must be her unreliable father who taught her that. I'll beat him to death tonight."

A chill ran down Ding Ba's spine, and sweat beaded on his forehead. He stealthily glanced at Miao Tianxiong, only to meet her cold gaze. Startled, he shuddered again and quickly sat up straight, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead. He dared not utter a single joke, but in his mind, he was thinking about where he could seek refuge that night. Going home was absolutely out of the question, or his life would surely be in danger.

He Weishao was gloating, and he deserved it!

The banquet lasted until evening. Many out-of-town guests rushed back home that day. Lu Mo had arranged their round-trip airfare perfectly. Some guests stayed at the hotel, usually those who were close to the guests, as well as some relatives from Lin Shufang's family and some relatives from the Lu family.

The banquet that evening was reduced by more than half, with only about twenty tables remaining, mostly for relatives and close friends. Ye Qingqing also changed out of her elaborate wedding dress and into a bright red gown, making her look even more radiant.

She and Lu Mo still toasted at every table. At the table of Lu's relatives, Lu Jiangang and Yue Hongxia were also there. Compared to their high spirits five years ago, the couple looked much older now, especially Yue Hongxia, who had grown a lot of white hair.

Lu Qingquan is still serving his sentence in prison. Ye Lan was accidentally killed by him. If he had turned himself in at the time, he could have received a shorter sentence. However, he was misled by Ye Susu and ran away. He was then sold to a rubber plantation to do hard labor. Not only did he lose a leg, but he also came back with a host of diseases. The son that Yue Hongxia was once proud of is now her disgrace. She is ashamed to mention him and rarely visits him in prison, for fear of losing face.

Lu Jiangang would visit once or twice a year, but not often. His daughter, Lu Qinghua, had never visited him. She hated her brother and never even mentioned him in public.

Grandpa Lu often visits, bringing daily necessities and giving Lu Qingquan some ideological education. The old man no longer expects his grandson to bring honor to the family; he only hopes that after he gets out, he can be an upright person and not go astray again.

In fact, the old man still didn't understand the inherent badness of his grandson Lu Qingquan. He was a born bad guy, just like Long Xiaoyun in "Little Li Flying Dagger". He was born with bad intentions and could never change. All the old man's efforts were in vain and a complete waste of time.

Looking at the handsome couple Lu Mo and Ye Qingqing, Lu Jiangang and his wife felt a pang of bitterness. Thinking of their son still serving time in prison, they felt even worse. The wine they drank tasted bitter, and they forced a smile. Yue Hongxia couldn't even manage a smile. She felt jealous and resentful, but mostly she felt regret.

If she had known that brat Ye Qingqing had so many secret recipes, she would have just endured it and tried to please her. Now, she would be the one enjoying the good life, instead of Lin Shufang, that widow who brings bad luck to her husband.
