Upon hearing this, Chi Yu raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"Uncle Chief, this year is bad, and everyone is short of food and water."

"Aren't we being a bit too high-profile by doing this?"

Chi Dongyi, however, disagreed: "What's with all the fuss? This is what we should do."

Normally, we would hold a three-day banquet.

Now you don't need to provide the food; we'll collect it from each household.

"What's wrong with us people from Chijia'ao having a meal together then?"

After Chi Yu finished speaking, the clansmen who had gathered around him at some point looked on with anticipation in their eyes.

Not wanting to spoil the fun, and since it was only a day or two later, she immediately agreed.

"Okay, but I want it to be as soon as possible. The rain is too heavy. I'll go down the mountain as soon as the rain stops."

"Then let's arrange it for tonight! It's raining now and it's not hot outside, I'll go and borrow some tarpaulins from everyone."

"We'll arrange it for you at the ancestral hall."

Speaking of the tarpaulin, when Chi Yu came down the mountain, he had already taken the tarpaulin that had been taken to the water source back with him.

But since everyone is here, she can't say anything.

So, she had no choice but to go home first.

Before they even got home, they saw Liu Lingling standing at the entrance of the grocery store.

Upon seeing her, he called out, "Are you my aunt?"

"Yes, is there something you need, Ah Ye's wife?"

“Aunt, Xiaofeng’s mother, her sister-in-law’s family, and her maternal grandparents’ family have all come over.”

"Okay, I understand!"

Even if they don't want to use it, the innocent bystanders know why they came.

I had planned to wait until I got home before letting my sister, my two sisters-in-law, and Zhuangzhuang come out.

Now we can only turn around, find a secluded spot, and ask them to come out.

Liu Lingling watched helplessly as her aunt responded with a sound of agreement and then turned to leave.

Just as she was dumbfounded, wondering how to explain to the people waiting inside, her aunt returned.

However, there were several people following behind her.

Because of the heavy rain and fog, she couldn't see who it was, or whether it was a man or a woman.

When the others got closer, she realized that it was her mother, her second and third aunts, and her younger cousin.

Seeing this, she quickly took two dry cloths from the shop.

Chi Qiao and the others, who had just left the space, were soaked from the knees down.

They didn't go into the grocery store; they went straight into their house.

Wang Yunjuan, along with her family, her maternal relatives, and her in-laws, sat in the main room.

Seeing the fish taking off their raincoats, they all stood up and knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.

"This humble woman/Xiao Feng greets Princess Le'an/Auntie!"

Even though Chi Yu is unpretentious, she is now a princess personally appointed by the emperor, so everyone must bow to her when they see her.

Even Wang Yunjuan, who usually calls Chi Yu her sister, is the same.

Chi Yu hung the raincoat and straw hat under the eaves, signaling to her sister and sister-in-law to take Zhuangzhuang back to their room to change clothes.

He then looked at the crowd and said, "No need for formalities, everyone. The ground is cold, please get up."

After saying this, he looked at Zhong Yufeng, who was mixed in with them, and said:

"Xiaofeng, it's raining heavily outside. Your aunt and I are all soaked."

"We'll go change our clothes now. You and your mother, please help your aunt greet the others."

Zhong Yufeng replied respectfully, "Yes!"

Once the fish in the pond had left, everyone stood up.
