"Then let's join in the fun!"
Qin Yanche said happily on the side!
"Since we can't leave for the time being, let's go!"
Ye Qiansui had never seen a scene where all the people in a village went to a banquet!
By noon, Qin Shaoqing and his friends arrived for the banquet as scheduled. As soon as they arrived, they occupied three tables!
But the villagers were not angry because of this. Instead, they were still very enthusiastic towards them!
Seeing the villagers' attitude, even Ye Qiansui became confused!
They seem a little over-enthusiastic!
Ye Qiansui and Qin Shaoqing looked at each other!
With a vigilant look in his eyes, Qin Shaoqing secretly held Ye Qiansui's hand under the table and comforted her!
Ye Qiansui smiled at him and showed that he was fine!
Even though there were so many people with them, the food on the table was still very rich!
"Their hospitality is a bit too enthusiastic!"
Qin Yanche looked at the sumptuous meal on the table and said with emotion!
Ye Qiansui saw a plate of braised fish on the table. It looked very good, so he picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece and tasted it!
"Don't eat yet. There's something fishy about this banquet! Be careful that the food might be poisoned!"
Just when Ye Qiansui was about to put the fish into her mouth, Qin Shaoqing stopped her.
"It's okay, you can eat without worry, there is no poison in this food!"
Ye Qiansui said with certainty!
"Then I won't be polite!"
Qin Yanche picked up a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, eating it happily!
There was no doubt about the truthfulness of Ye Qiansui's words!
Perhaps he had already figured out whether the food was poisonous or not!
Qin Shaoqing originally thought that they were greedy and wanted to keep him just in case, but Ye Qiansui picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth!
"Try it now. It's cold now and it won't taste good later!"
Ye Qiansui looked at Qin Shaoqing with a gentle smile!
And gave him a reassuring look!
Qin Shaoqing did not spit out the fish in his mouth, but tasted it carefully!
Since she specifically told me that nothing was wrong, she must have her reasons!
Just when they were enjoying their meal!
There was a noise and women crying not far away!
Ye Qiansui and the others put down their chopsticks and looked towards the noisy place in confusion!
"How could you do this? If this happens, how are we, an orphan and a widow, going to live in the future?"
A woman's sad questioning voice came from the other side!
"Xu, you don't need to make a fuss here. This is the rule of our village, and it has been like this since ancient times!
If you continue to cause trouble, we will drive you and your child out of the village!"
An old man who looked quite prestigious and was sitting next to Yang Biao spoke to the crying woman in a half-comforting and half-threatening way!
"Village Chief, I have always respected you as the leader of our village. But you have always been wise and intelligent. Why are you now teaming up with them to bully us?"
When the woman heard the speech just now from the village chief whom she had always admired, she could not accept the reality even more!
"How is this bullying you? Daniu and the others saw that your family was alone, so they came here specially to take care of your family!
Besides, this is the custom here. Don't be too stubborn. Just sit down with your child!"
The village chief looked at her as if to say, "Why are you so ignorant?"
Chunhua couldn't help feeling distressed when she saw these banquets that were prepared with her family's savings!
He held his daughter's hand tightly and looked at his fellow villagers and relatives present with hatred in his eyes!
"What the hell is going on? What are you arguing about?!"
Yang Biao drank two glasses of wine and heard the quarrel here. He couldn't help but want to put on his official airs and get involved!
When the village chief heard his words, he couldn't help but regret that he should have arranged him to be farther away!
When Chunhua heard what Yang Biao said and saw the decorations around him, it was not difficult to tell that he was an official!
Immediately, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he walked over, grabbed his daughter, knelt in front of Yang Biao, and cried about what had happened to him!
Yang Biao was so frightened by what happened suddenly that he was half sober, but given the current situation, he could only sit here and listen to the woman's explanation!
It turned out that today's banquet was hosted by Chunhua's family members, who invited people to come and pay their respects on the pretext that Chunhua's husband had died!
The difference is that this time the banquet not only invited people from the same village, but also lasted for three consecutive days!
But since her husband died, there has been no one in charge of the family. She has little influence and they don’t listen to her at all!
Even my current home no longer belongs to me and my daughter!
All the things in the house have now been looted by relatives and clansmen like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey!
They took away all the pots, pans, and utensils, just like bandits invading the village!
Although it is a place of mourning, it does not look like a funeral at all. The whole atmosphere is full of joy!
After the family savings were used up, he even threatened to drive them out of their current house and seize their land deeds!
After listening to the woman's crying, Yang Biao was completely sober!
I didn’t expect that the banquet I had today would have such a background!
But now that I have asked the question and the woman has answered it, I have no choice but to solve this problem myself!
"Okay, I already understand the whole story. Get up first, and I'll help you make the decision!"
Yang Biao could only comfort the woman kneeling in front of him!
After Ye Qiansui and the others heard the whole story, they looked at the food in front of them and suddenly found it difficult to swallow!
But when he heard that Yang Biao was about to intervene in this matter, he held back!
"Sir, please don't just listen to her! There are many local customs and practices behind this matter!
After this woman's husband died, there was no one in the family to inherit the property. According to the customs here, the inheritance is divided among the descendants of the same clan!
Someone will help arrange the subsequent condolences! This ignorant woman is not here to talk nonsense! "
When the village chief saw that Yang Biao was about to intervene in this matter, he couldn't help but explain!
After saying that, he even wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
"What kind of rule is this? Isn't the girl this woman is holding their child? Can't she inherit her father's property?"
After listening to what the village chief said, Yang Biao looked at the little girl the woman was holding and asked in confusion!
When the village chief heard his question, he couldn't help but sneered!
"Your Excellency, you are joking. How can this poor little girl be considered an heir?
To put it bluntly, Chunhua didn't give birth to a child to carry on the family line for Da Niu, so after Da Niu's death, their family became extinct!"
After hearing the village chief's shameless words, Chunhua sneered!
"So, you are now eating the whole family!"
