The experience of Yang Dali's family is no secret. Wang Dujuan has been strong for half her life, but she never expected that in the end she would end up paralyzed in bed and unable to move.

Some people say that Yang Donghu is cruel. No matter what happened to Wang Dujuan, she is still his own mother. How can he really ignore her? Others say that Wang Dujuan deserves it. It is fate that she is being punished for the evil she did in the past.

They were discussing lively matters, and some rumors reached Yang Donghu's ears.

Ever since Wang Dujuan collapsed in bed, the Zhao family has lived an extremely comfortable life, with few restless people around. Originally, after Yang Chunxiao ran away, Yang Donghu was worried that the father and son of the Yang family would come to harass him if they could not pay off their debts.

What is surprising is that they are so honest and have never come here once.

Since they didn't come to disturb him, Zhao Jiale was free and at ease. He didn't let the old lady know about these things, for fear that she would worry.

He pretended to be ignorant and didn't care what others said. He thought it was just a few words from others, so what could be the big deal?

Li Guihua and Wang Dujuan from their village are close friends, and Yang Chunxue and Chen Si are close friends in the eyes of outsiders. When talking about Wang Dujuan, they can't help but think of Li Guihua.

Li Guihua, who was timid and submissive after being taught a lesson by Chen Lin last year, is not as arrogant as before. His family has been in turmoil recently, and quarrels can be heard from time to time.

Because they had a big fight with the Zhao family in the past, they had no contact with each other after the falling out. As a result, Chen Lin also became estranged from Zhao Luochuan. When he needed help when he got married last year, he didn't ask Chen Lin, let alone ask him to come to the banquet.

The news that the Zhao family was going to get married had spread throughout the country in recent days. Chen Lin was angry that Zhao Luochuan didn't take him seriously and didn't invite him to the banquet. In a rage, he declared that he would not go even if Zhao Fangyu got married.

When Zhu Cuilan heard this from someone else, she sneered and thought that the man was mentally ill. Not to mention that he would not come, he would not even be willing to receive her even if he came to her house.

Originally, Chen Lin could have not cared about it. He had been treated so unfairly that he thought about not having any contact with them. After all, there were so many people in the village. If your family was missing, would there be no one else?

But later he gradually discovered that things were far from what he had imagined. Several men, led by Li Zihong and Lin Zhi, were the first to stop associating with him, and there was no harmony between the neighbors at all.

Although Mrs. Lin's words were unpleasant, she could still see clearly and tell which family was living a comfortable life at a glance. If she got along well with Zhao Luochuan, she could have meat to eat, but what good would it be for her to get along with Chen Lin?

The Chen family's fields are in low-lying areas. Last autumn, there was heavy rain and a large area was flooded. At the time of autumn harvest, half of the grain was lost.

The remaining grain was not enough to cover the food supply for human consumption, and there was no extra grain to sell.

Three meals a day were either steamed corn bread or mixed flour steamed buns. He finally had meat during the Chinese New Year, but the little oil he had didn't even last him through the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Chen Lin had been craving for it for a long time.

Moreover, the snow was heavy this year and the land was frozen. It was very troublesome to clean up the fields by myself. Everyone asked for help, but Chen Lin found several people but no one was willing to lend a hand.

Chen Lin has no major problems, but he has a lot of minor ones. The villagers have long been dissatisfied with the fact that he drove away his own daughter, and now they are even more wary of him.

In the end, Yun Decai, as the head of the village, could not bear to see Chen Lin's field miss the spring plowing season, so he found a few young men to help take care of it for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Chen Lin was not only not grateful, but also complained that the young men worked slowly and wasted time at home preparing to eat more white flour.

After hearing what he said, the young men were so angry that they dropped their farm tools and turned around and left. They helped but were not rewarded. Whoever wanted to do this crappy job could do it.

Yun Decai was so angry that he didn't want to say a word to him, nor did he bother to meddle in his family's affairs. It depended on him whether he could catch up with the spring plowing.

Chen Lin may have felt that he had offended someone, but he just couldn't bring himself to say soft words to the younger generation, and he still stubbornly said that he didn't need help from others.

The frozen land had to be dug up one hoe at a time so that the ox could pull the plow. His family said it was not too much, not too little, so the guys dug half of it for him, and he worked on the remaining half himself for several days and collapsed from exhaustion at noon.

Now the only strong laborer in the family was gone. Li Guihua, a woman, worked so hard that she couldn't even sweep a piece of land before the spring plowing. By the time she sowed the seeds, the spring plowing had already passed for a long time.

Farming requires careful attention to the weather. Most of the seeds sown after the spring plowing will not germinate. Looking around, among the green fields, only his family's land still has a patch of yellow soil.

Because of last year's floods, Chen Lin was hoping to harvest more grain this year. But now it seems uncertain whether he can harvest as much as last year.

A farmer like him who has no skills has no money without food, let alone food to fill his stomach. It's just the New Year and every family has a delicious meal, but his family looks like refugees in a disaster year, all of them are pale and skinny.

Perhaps because he was too greedy, Chen Lin's mind was not clear. In order to ask for help from the villagers, Zhu Cuilan prepared a banquet in advance to thank those who came to help.

When Chen Lin passed by the Zhao family's door, he was so tempted by the smell of meat that he even wanted Li Guihua to bow her head and submit to Zhu Cuilan so that he could get a good meal.

How could Li Guihua be willing to do such a shameful thing? No matter how hard Chen Lin beat and scolded her, she just refused to go. In order to avoid Chen Lin's beatings, she always wandered around during the day and tried not to stay at home.

She saw even more when she wandered around outside. In mid-February, Zhu Cuilan carried all the remaining betrothal gifts in a red box to propose to Yang Anjin. The scene made Li Guihua so jealous that she was fuming and cursed a lot without caring that she was still outside.

Not only Zhu Cuilan was unwilling to be cursed like this when there was a happy event in the family, but others could not stand such a vicious person. Without Zhu Cuilan saying anything, several women forced Li Guihua to stay outside and she was caught and beaten by Chen Lin when she returned home.

Yun Qiao worked with his family as a matchmaker, and the twenty-liang betrothal gift was known to the villagers a long time ago. The villagers did not find it strange, but when they saw the sturdy cloths, silver jewelry, and a complete set of head ornaments packed in Zhu Cuilan's box, they were still shocked and drooled.

Not to mention Zhao Luochuan and Li Zihong following behind, carrying a whole sheep and a fat hen, as well as bags of sand apples and green dates on their shoulders.

Zhu Cuilan was determined to show people how much her family valued Yang Anjin, and she wished she could fill all the boxes. At the beginning, many people said that Zhao Fangyu would have a hard time finding a wife in his life. Now that good news had come true, Zhu Cuilan could finally be proud. Her family had married such a good man, and let's see what they would say.

Everyone who walked along the way stuck their heads out to take a look. Zhu Cuilan and Zhao He had beaming faces, unable to stop smiling.
