The Hu family then talked about how they could not occupy the yard and their land was taken back.
Hu Ajing even exaggerated Yan Funing's faults.
Yan Haitang asked again: "How is her food and clothing?"
Hu Ajing snorted, "What can we eat? We can dig wild vegetables in the mountains, but what wild vegetables are there these days? And she wears the same old clothes. She wears silk and satin all day long and flaunts herself in the village, as if no one knows she's a young lady."
After hearing this, Yan Haitang covered her lips and chuckled.
As long as Yan Funing was living in hardship, she was filled with joy.
Then she thought of Fu Ciyi, but she didn't dare to ask in front of Fu Minghe's grandfather and father.
But he was still thinking about her, so he pulled Hu Ajing's hand and said, "We get along quite well. Let's walk in the yard and chat for a while."
Hu Ajing nodded. It would be the best thing to be able to establish a sisterly relationship with the county magistrate's daughter-in-law.
Yan Haitang said something to his family and pulled Hu Ajing out of the hall.
When I went to the garden, I chose to walk along the paths where fewer people passed by.
After chatting about other things, Yan Haitang finally lowered his voice and asked, "Fu Wanniang has two sons. How is the older one now?"
Thinking of that elegant young man, Hu Ajing pursed her lips and said, "He may be good-looking, but he has a bad temper."
"Oh, tell me more specifically."
"I can kick down a fence with one foot."
"Then what is his relationship with the Yan family's adopted daughter?"
"I don't think they're close. They were quite far apart when they walked. Last time, when I was riding in a bullock cart with Meixiang from the village, the adopted daughter of the Yan family squeezed against Meixiang and didn't even try to get into the man's arms."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yan Haitang's lips.
A certain woman is proud and arrogant, and she had broken off the engagement before, so it is difficult for her to continue living with Fu Ciyi.
Now he has fallen to the point where he can only ride in an ox cart. How pitiful.
The two chatted for a while, and Yan Haitang said, "If there are any embarrassing things in their family in the future, you can tell me about it."
"Okay." Hu Ajing said bitterly, "But my family now wants to drive Fu Wanniang and her family out so that we can take their fields and yard. This is what my grandparents and parents want."
Yan Haitang asked casually: "What do you mean?"
"I want to kick out that adopted daughter of the Yan family and make Fu Wanniang's eldest son my son-in-law. That way, I can also get his family's fields and yard. But then I have to support Fu Wanniang, a blind mother-in-law, a lame sister-in-law, and a mentally retarded brother-in-law, which is really depressing. I dare not tell my grandparents and parents about this idea." Hu Ajing affectionately took Yan Haitang's arm. "The first time I met my cousin's wife, I felt that she was a good person. I only dare to tell you this idea."
Yan Haitang's face turned pale, and he immediately said to the maid, "Tell the old master, the master, and the eldest son to send the guests away!"
After saying that, he pulled his arm out from Hu Ajing's hand, flicked his sleeves and walked away.
It's really infuriating that a country girl dares to covet Fu Ciyi.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Yan Haitang went back to his room and threw a lot of things.
--
After hearing from the maid that the eldest young lady asked the guests to be sent away, and since the Hu family came empty-handed this time, the second old master also wanted to send the guests away as soon as possible.
He immediately said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. The distance between the city and the countryside is long. You should go back quickly."
It means that they will not be kept for dinner.
The Hu family looked at each other, and before they could say anything, the housekeeper had already raised his hand to invite them in.
"Everyone, please."
After they left the Fu Mansion and heard the door slam shut, the Hu family sighed.
Qian whispered, "What's going on? You were apparently being polite."
Hu Xingwang pressed his stomach, which was aching from hunger. "Why are you being so polite? We didn't even have any snacks today, and you asked us to go back so early."
Hu Dahai disagreed: "They are celebrating the Lantern Festival on their own, and that's not wrong. It's just that we came at the wrong time."
Hu Ajing stamped her feet anxiously: "I want to go to the toilet."
After she reminded them of this, the whole family became anxious.
I didn't have lunch or snacks, and I drank too much tea, so I felt suffocated.
If they went to the Fu Mansion to relieve themselves, they would definitely be looked down upon, so the family had no choice but to look for restaurants, teahouses, and other places where they could relieve themselves.
--
After picking out almost all the impurities in the sesame seeds, Yan Funing took them to the kitchen and stir-fried them in an iron pan.
Fry until the aroma comes out and serve.
Since she didn't have a mortar, she used a rolling pin and a bowl.
The ends of the rolling pin are arc-shaped, which is suitable for pounding sesame seeds.
Hearing the noise, Fu Beimo came to help.
After all, his hands were stronger, and the sesame seeds he pounded were finer.
After pounding the sesame seeds, Yan Funing added sugar and stirred well.
Fu Beimo leaned in and sniffed: "It smells so good."
Yan Funing smiled, scooped some into a small bowl and handed it to him.
"You can eat it now, try it."
Fu Beimo didn't hesitate, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, his eyes instantly brightening. Then he happily held the bowl and left the kitchen.
He went to the main room first: "Mom, my sister-in-law gave me something to eat, it was delicious."
He fed his mother as he said this with great filial piety.
Wan Niang ate with a smile and nodded.
Fu Nanyao came over and Fu Beimo ran away with the bowl in his hand.
He came to his brother and said, "Brother, what my sister-in-law gave me is so sweet."
Fu Ciyi said nothing.
Fu Beimo realized that he couldn't show off, so he took another big bite and then walked away with his head held high.
Fu Ciyi shook his head, glanced sideways and saw the plate of peanuts and sunflower seeds, then reached out and picked up a peanut, peeled it and ate it.
Yan Funing kneaded the glutinous rice dough by herself. When the dough was formed, she brought it to the main room, along with the prepared white sugar and sesame seeds.
"Mom, let's make dumplings together and have a happy reunion."
Wan Niang nodded and called out, "Ci Yi, come here quickly."
