"Why does she want to drive me away? Am I right? No matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman. Without her family and relatives to take care of her, she will be bullied. If we live here, with you and my father-in-law and brother to help her, those people will dare to bully her. But my sister-in-law doesn't know what's good for her and says we are taking advantage. Don't we have to pay anything? We are just getting what we need. We live here and live a rich life, which can protect her from being bullied. What's wrong with that? Look at my sister-in-law, she wants to drive me away, but she doesn't even see who she is. She is just like us and wants to be here alone."
Kong Meixue kept saying bad things about Gao Zhishan and made herself sound so great, as if she was giving Gao Zhijun enough face by living here.
Kong Meixue's words made Gao Zhishan so angry that her face turned black. She glared at her, clenched her fists tightly, and dug them deep into her fists.
Luo Minghu felt that his wife was right. His sister-in-law's cousin was just a girl with a one-year-old nephew. There would definitely be many people who wanted to bully her. If his family lived here, they could suppress those who were ready to make trouble.
"What a sharp-tongued person! She's trying to take advantage of you by using the title of Emperor Tang. It's truly eye-opening. No matter how well she talks, it's not yours, it's mine. I tell you, just because she's my cousin, she has the right to drive you away, understand?"
Gao Zhijun, who happened to come out to greet them, sneered in her heart after hearing what Kong Meixue said.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.
When I saw the beautiful yard, I wanted to move in, but I never asked her opinion.
"Who are you?"
Kong Meixue, who was about to get angry, saw Gao Zhijun's outfit and was afraid she might be her sister-in-law's cousin. She restrained herself from getting angry and instead asked her a question.
"Zhijun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"
Gao Zhishan said embarrassedly when she saw Gao Zhijun.
"It's okay, it's not your fault, it's just that some people take themselves too seriously."
Gao Zhijun said meaningfully.
"Hello, sister. I'm Kong Meixue, your sister's sister-in-law. You are my sister."
Knowing that the woman in front of her was her eldest sister-in-law's cousin, Kong Meixue immediately flattered Gao Zhijun.
"Sister, my mother only gave birth to me as a daughter. I don't have any older sisters. Please don't try to make connections."
Gao Zhijun said with disdain.
"I'm sorry, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that my sister-in-law is your cousin, and you can treat me as your cousin."
Kong Meixue hurriedly explained in a flattering manner.
"No, I have three cousins, which is enough. I don't need so many cousins, lest some people confuse their identities and ruin the reputation of our Gao family."
"If you don't understand your identity, please leave. I asked you to come here because of my cousin. If you don't behave, I don't mind teaching you how to behave."
Gao Zhijun scolded Kong Meixue and looked at her with a sneer in her eyes.
"Let me be frank. I asked everyone to come over for the New Year's Eve dinner today to give my cousin face. I hope you can put your status in perspective. If it's not yours, don't dream of it. Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
Gao Zhijun's words made the Luo family feel embarrassed and felt that she was slapping them in the face.
Only Kong Meixue didn't think so. She always used whatever means to achieve her goal, and she didn't care about some open or hidden sarcasm. She just wanted to curry favor with Gao Zhijun and bring her family to live with her.
Gao Zhijun took Gao Zhishan, picked up Luo Ziqi, and walked towards the yard.
The Luo family followed behind.
Gao Zhidan and her family came over from the other side.
Gao Zhijun arranged Gao Zhishan and Gao Zhidan in her courtyard, and arranged Luo Mingkuan's parents and brother's family in the servants' room, and Gao Zhidan's parents-in-law were also arranged in the servants' room.
Tao Yuanzheng and the Taifu arranged the courtyard where the prince had lived before.
When Kong Meixue found out she was staying in the servants' quarters, she immediately started to make a scene with Luo Mingkuan's parents. Gao Zhijun's maids didn't go along with her and went to talk to her. Gao Zhijun came over and told her that she could either stay there or leave Huojia Village. Kong Meixue had no choice but to stay.
After the Gao sisters arrived, Xiaoli and the others prepared offerings and prepared to worship the Gao family's ancestors.
Gao Zhiyi led the way, kneeling in front with her two children, followed by Gao Zhishan, her husband, and their two children. Then Gao Zhidan knelt with her husband and twins. Gao Zhijun knelt at the back with her nephew.
After everyone paid their respects to their ancestors, Qinglong started lighting firecrackers.
The sound of "crackling" continued.
Huojia Village is very lively today, and every household is butchering chickens for a big meal.
Originally, Gao Zhijun wanted the whole village to prepare a reunion dinner together. However, some villagers felt that they had too much pork at home and it would be a waste if they didn’t eat it, so everyone thought it would be better for them to prepare their own reunion dinner.
The Sun family, the Huo family, and the Gao family had a reunion dinner together.
At noon, everyone started making dumplings to eat.
Gao Zhijun disinfected and cleaned the copper coins with boiling water, then put them into the dumplings.
There are twenty copper coins in total, which can only be put into twenty dumplings.
This tests everyone's luck. Whoever eats more will have better luck.
Since there were many people making the dumplings, they were finished very quickly. Xiaoli and Xiaocui helped to light the fire.
Dumplings can be boiled, fried or steamed, and you can eat them according to your preferences.
