Since Tang Yi was in the wrong, after making a scene, he said "Withdraw" to the officials behind him and left.
Jiang Liu's disappearance left him somewhat bewildered.
If the person cannot be found in time, or if something happens, he cannot bear the blame from his father-in-law.
That night, the officials searched for Jiang Liu so diligently that they didn't sleep a wink until the next morning.
Even so, Tang Yi did not allow them to rest and ordered them to continue searching.
Meanwhile, the person in question was busy running around in the Qiu family's courtyard, completely unlike his usual self.
Jiang Liu couldn't cook, so she just helped Ye Shi wash the vegetables.
The vegetables and other produce were all grown by the villagers themselves, and Qiu Yan bought some of each.
The Li family has plenty of meat.
After worshipping ancestors and distributing candies and peanuts, it was already past noon.
Finally, the village chief said some auspicious words, and as firecrackers went off, the main beam was slowly fixed in place, bringing the raising of the main beam to a close.
As for the other house, since Gu Qian was not present, Ye Shi did not acknowledge that it was their house. Li Zheng did not care about the formalities and instructed Zhao Shan to raise the roof beam together.
At noon, before the banquet, Qiu Yan formally introduced Zhao Yuanyuan to Jiang Liu.
Upon learning that Jiang Liu was her employer, Zhao Yuanyuan quickly bowed. Jiang Liu helped her up, saying that since Jiang Liu was Qiu Yan's friend, she should naturally take care of her.
The village chief and his wife exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Liu.
"Qiu Yan, why didn't you call out to your third uncle when you drank the feast for the first sir?"
A voice rang in her ears, and Qiu Yan turned her head to see Qiu Dayong and his family entering their yard.
Not only Qiu Dayong's family, but even... the Yang family came.
Suddenly, all the villagers' eyes turned to them.
When Qiu Yan saw Yang Shi, she was genuinely surprised; she had been released.
She really admired these people for daring to come.
At this moment, Yang was so thin that she looked like a ghost. Qiu Ling'er felt instinctive fear the moment she saw her.
Qiu Yumei's eyes were filled with anger.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Qiu Dafu stood up abruptly... Qiu Dayong shrank back and stopped in his tracks.
Madam Qian quickly took several steps back. "Second brother, we know we were wrong. We came here this time with the intention of making peace."
When Yang met Qiu Dafu's cold eyes, she also took a step back.
"Dafu, Mother was wrong..." At this moment, she was no longer as arrogant as before, and she didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
She had only been out of prison for two days when her third daughter-in-law gave her the cold shoulder.
Without even asking her opinion, they forcibly dragged her here, their purpose being to completely reconcile with Qiu Yan and the others.
Qiu Yan is now a celebrity in the village. Her house is the best built in the village, and she also has a field of medicinal herbs. She will definitely hire people to work on it in the future.
The three families wanted to climb back onto Qiu Yan's coattails, forget their past grievances, and live a harmonious family life.
However, they forgot that the two families had long since severed ties.
Madam Qian tried her best to keep a smile on her face. "Xiaoyan, you can introduce Yuanyuan to work at the clothing store. Could you put in a good word for her and let Hui'er go with her too? After all, we're family."
Her daughter, Hui'er, is of marriageable age, and perhaps she can find a good husband in Baiyang.
Qiu Hui kept trying to curry favor with Qiu Yan, but Zhao Yuanyuan looked at her unkindly; she didn't want to work with Qiu Hui.
Qiu Yan scoffed, "Want to owe me a favor? Dream on!"
Qiu Xu was about to get up when Qiu Dafu stopped him.
Qiu Yan remained seated and did not move.
Qiu Dafu walked towards Yang and the others, and without saying a word, grabbed Qiu Dayong's wrist.
Because of Qiu Dafu's action, Qiu Dayong was in so much pain he almost cried. "Second brother, let go... let go..."
"Are you going to leave on your own, or..."
As Qiu Dafu spoke, he glanced at Yang and Qian.
Yang's body trembled slightly. She hunched over and turned to run away.
She hadn't forgotten that when Qiu Dafu got ruthless, he was completely heartless. Just thinking about how Qiu Dafu had thrown her into the latrine made her weak all over.
"Mother...why did you leave?" Madam Qian glared resentfully at Madam Yang. She had been told to humble herself and apologize to Qiu Dafu and Qiu Yan, so why had she run off on her own?
In the end, she ran away too.
Finally, only Qiu Dayong remained. Qiu Dafu released his wrist, and Qiu Dayong weakly said, "You guys continue... continue eating," before leaving as well.
Qiu Yan knew that with her second uncle around, no matter how bad someone was, it wouldn't be a problem.
Jiang Liu was a little stunned. Was Qiu Dafu really that fierce? How could he have scared the other party away before even finishing a sentence?
Jiang Liu had already heard about Qiu Yan's awful relatives back when Qiu Yan last sought her help to save Qiu Dafu. Now it seems that their shamelessness is extraordinary.
Outside the courtyard gate, Qiu Dayong said indignantly, "That kid Dayu is lucky. He turned into one of the top figures in Baiyang Restaurant, while we are still farming at home."
"Whose fault is this? It's all your fault for having such a bad idea back then, wanting Qiu Yan to be a concubine. Who knew that girl would be so capable?"
The couple dared not enter the Qiu family's old courtyard again, let alone cause trouble. They could only watch as Qiu Yan and the others feasted on fish and meat, while they could barely afford their daily coarse cornbread.
After the ceremony of raising the roof beam, Qiu Yan did not linger and prepared to head to Baiyang.
This time, my second uncle went along, along with Zhao Yuanyuan.
After arriving in Baiyang, Qiu Yan and the others first went to Jiang Liu's clothing shop. This was a good opportunity for Zhao Yuanyuan to familiarize herself with the environment before starting work tomorrow.
At this moment, two government officials were guarding Jiang Liu's clothing shop.
Qiu Dafu got off the carriage and lifted the curtain. When the two officials saw Jiang Liu suddenly appear, they were quite excited.
"Madam, you have finally appeared. Do you know that the lord thought you were missing? He turned Baiyang City upside down in his search for you."
Qiu Dafu's expression was rather unpleasant, and Jiang Liu's face immediately darkened. Knowing that Tang Yi was anxiously searching for her, she thought how wonderful it would be if they never saw each other again.
But is it even possible?
Suddenly, she felt an urge to get away from Baiyang. But if she left Baiyang, where else could she go?
"You're standing here, you're interfering with my business."
The two constables quickly left, preparing to go to the county office to report to their magistrate.
Jiang Liu showed Zhao Yuanyuan around the area, instructed her to work the next day, and then the group left.
As soon as they returned to the entrance of the courtyard, they found Tang Yi leading two officials, walking back and forth in front of their courtyard.
As soon as Tang Yi turned his head, he saw Qiu Dafu driving his carriage slowly towards him. Thinking of the day Qiu Dafu coveted his wife, Tang Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
He glared at Qiu Dafu, who ignored him indifferently.
Qiu Yan, her three children, and Zhao Yuanyuan got off the carriage one after another.
Looking at the disheveled Tang Yi in front of her, she teased, "Lord Tang, do you not think Baiyang is safe and sound, so you've come to guard the gate for me yourself?"
Tang Yi asked urgently, "Where is my wife?"
"You lost your wife yourself, so why are you asking me for her?" Qiu Yan said that she didn't know anything about it.
