Fang Yan smiled and said, "We can't say what the circumstances are for other parents to say such things, but if the Xue family elders said such things after my mother-in-law confessed to them, then it at least shows that the man's status is higher than that of people from the countryside, and that his family is probably quite well-off, etc."
Aunt De slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! How come I didn't think of that!"
"I'll go ask them about it after the holiday."
Aunt De's family home is close to Xue Wanxue's family home village. She has several sisters who have married into Xue Wanxue's family home village.
If you want to find out about this, you can only contact them.
"Aunt De, there's no rush," Fang Yan said, her attitude unchanged.
Anyway, it's all old news, so there's no rush.
To be honest, she's been so busy lately that she almost forgot about Xue Wanxue.
hiss……
Speaking of which, has she forgotten something?
Fang Yan vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.
I thought and thought, but I still couldn't remember.
"Never mind, maybe it will remember again someday if I don't think about it," she muttered to herself.
And so, the letter locked in the drawer was once again forgotten by Fang Yan, who kept saying she "couldn't remember."
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th of August, is one of the few festivals in the year where ancestors are worshipped in the afternoon.
In the Gouzi Village area, there are only two festivals a year: one is the Lantern Festival, which is held in the afternoon to worship ancestors; the other is the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is held in the eighth lunar month.
All other major and minor festivals require getting up very early in the morning to prepare meals and offer sacrifices to ancestors.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival ancestor worship takes place in the afternoon, the market in the morning is still very lively.
Especially for those who didn't have time to prepare for the shopping spree, or who suddenly realized they didn't have enough stock, they can make up for it quickly this morning.
Fang Yan will definitely be setting up her stall on this day.
After all, so many fans ordered braised meat from her.
For this reason, she specially rented Grandpa Niu's oxcart and asked him to take her there alone two hours in advance.
There's just too much stuff today. The kitchen has enough space, but with so many people around, it won't be easy to find a way to get it out of the kitchen.
Just to be on the safe side, Fang Yan took out all the buckets in the house and used them to store braised meat, chicken, and duck.
Four whole buckets, weighing over a hundred pounds.
"Grandpa, please take this. It's a holiday today, so you and your wife can have some more dishes."
When they arrived at the market, Grandpa Niu helped Fang Yan carry the meat, just like when they first set off.
One by one, the buckets were all carried down and arranged. Fang Yan then handed half a braised duck, which she had prepared separately, to Grandpa Niu.
She had already given her wages for this trip to Grandpa Niu when she set off.
"No way, this can be sold for money. Today is the Ghost Festival, this can fetch a few extra cents. I can't bear to eat it myself."
Grandpa Niu tried to put the braised duck back, but Fang Yan pushed it back and pointed to the four large buckets of braised meat, saying, "Grandpa, you can take it home and eat it without worry. Everyone ordered this meat beforehand, so there's no way we can sell it for a few extra cents today."
Those fans who support her have basically pre-ordered the items they wanted.
The rest of the meat probably won't be bought today, so Fang Yan will just focus on selling the meat that was pre-ordered.
Every time, Grandpa Niu couldn't win an argument with Fang Yan, and in the end, he could only take the braised duck back to the village and then go to fetch people into the city.
"You two sit here obediently and guard our meat, so no one can steal it."
Fang Yan started working, dividing up the meat ordered by each person in advance according to the information on the order she had registered. This way, when the people arrived, they could just grab the meat and leave without her being in a flurry of activity.
"Mom, I'll keep watch!" Little Fish clenched his fist, indicating that he was a capable little helper.
Qibei also said, "Woof woof woof."
Translation: With me here, who dares to steal?
"Great job! They're all capable little helpers."
Fang Yan patted their heads and then started working.
It was only seven o'clock, and most of the people living in the county town had just gotten up. But far away in Gouzi Village, at the foot of Lion's Roar Ridge, Fang Yaojin and Zhang Laowu got together again before dawn.
"There won't be any more surprises this time, right?" That was Zhang Laowu's voice.
Because of their unpleasant parting last time, Fang Yaojin now dislikes Zhang Laowu and his tone is naturally not very friendly: "Everything is arranged. Your share of the money won't disappear, so don't ask so many questions anymore."
Old Zhang was furious and looked like a demon. "Why can't I ask? We paid real money and dowry to marry this person into our family."
"So, I won't shortchange you on the money from selling her. We've already agreed on two hundred yuan. After I hand her over to them, I won't shortchange you that hundred yuan."
Fang Yaojin was very impatient, but he still briefly told Zhang Laowu the price he was going to negotiate with the seller, so as to save Zhang Laowu from nagging on and on.
That little bitch has been married and had children, yet she still managed to sell herself for such a good price?
Zhang Laowu was quite surprised.
He didn't say it aloud, but Fang Yaojin understood.
To show off his abilities, he laughed smugly, "How about that? As soon as I made my move, you knew that cooperating with me this time was a good deal, right?"
Old Zhang glanced at him sideways, "He does have some skill."
He had thought Fang Yaojin was just a petty thug who only knew how to fight, but he never expected that Fang Yaojin had such skills.
Fang Yaojin tossed his hair triumphantly again, "That family has three brothers, and they're so poor they can't afford to marry three wives."
Even if I married them, I couldn't afford to support them.
"So they agreed that they would marry one person and raise any child, regardless of whose it was, as their own."
Zhang Laowu was taken aback at first, then gave Fang Yaojin a long-lost smile and praised, "Not bad, ruthless enough."
He likes it!
Fang Yaojin whistled merrily, "That bitch got my sister in jail, does she think she'll have a good life from now on? Dream on!"
He spoke the last two words as if he wanted to chew them up, uttering them fiercely.
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered that old bastard Zhang Laowu, who had treated him rudely the last time.
Resentment rekindled, he added a warning, "Anyone who has offended me or my sister will not get away with it!"
Old Zhang was a seasoned veteran; he immediately realized that the man's words were directed at him.
Are you unhappy?
Are you angry?
Of course, I was unhappy and angry.
But he was a very patient person, especially before he achieved his goal.
Just like...
