Tang Xiaoling was so angry that she didn't know what to do. She sat on the ground, covered her face, and started to cry. She knew that she would never have a good reputation in this town again.
The problem is that I blame Duoduo. If this kid hadn't brought Southwest here for dinner, would I have misunderstood? It seems this kid is really my nemesis, here to bring me bad luck.
Tang Xiaoling's eyes flashed with malice, and the restaurant owner unconsciously took a step back. This woman was too frightening. Why hadn't he seen through her true colors before?
The restaurant finally quieted down. The restaurant owner handed Tang Xiaoling fifty yuan. Although it hadn't been a month yet, he was willing to lose a little money to hire someone to walk the walk.
Tang Xiaoling took the money and left the restaurant without looking back. She went back to her room, lay down on the bed without changing her clothes, and decided to think carefully about what to do next.
Yan Xiaonan learned the whole story and was surprised that Xu Lili could slap Tang Xiaoling. It was too strange that she would stand up for Duoduo.
Ye Chenming shook his head: "She wasn't standing up for Duoduo. That dish was meant for her, but Duoduo just walked over there for some reason."
"Did Duoduo specially run over to shield Xu Lili from the dishes?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
"No, it was just a coincidence, which is why Xu Lili rushed over and slapped Tang Xiaoling," Ye Chenming replied, holding Enming.
“Sigh, the hardest thing for them right now is probably my parents. They’ve known Uncle Tang for so many years, and now, in the end, they still have to worry about the next generation.” Yan Xiaonan shook her head.
Duoduo cleverly returned to Tang Jianjun's house, grabbed Tang's mother's hand and pulled her outside: "Grandma, don't make dinner yet, let's go to my grandma's house. Auntie caught a roe deer today, and Grandpa asked me to come and call them for dinner."
When Tang's mother heard about roe deer, her eyes lit up. It had been so long since she had eaten such a delicacy. She called into the house, "Old man, come quick! Nan Nan caught a roe deer and wants us to come eat."
Tang Jianjun packed his pipe and followed the two men happily. After locking the door, they headed towards the Yan family's house. Meanwhile, Ma Mingchun, along with his parents and his wife's family, also rushed to the Yan family's house. Roe deer meat! They were going to have a feast tonight.
The Yan family home was bustling tonight. The old bachelor, Xu Xiangrong from the lumberyard, and some of Yan Xiaoqiang's childhood friends came uninvited. Some helped borrow tables and chairs, while others helped carry basins and bowls.
They even brought out the family's strong liquor, which made Yan Xiaoqiang very happy. He hadn't drunk such homemade strong liquor in many years.
At the dinner table, Ma Mingchun was almost drunk, slurring his words about his plan to build Mushroom Village, so that every household in Mushroom Village, young and old, would be rolling in money.
As he walked through the magical void, he pointed north and south and said, "If we leave this guy here, our Mushroom Village will have hope."
Everyone stared intently at Bei Nan, who felt embarrassed by their attention and could only voice his thoughts. The old bachelor was the first to agree.
Bei Nan explained his idea: "We can raise cattle, sheep, and rabbits here. These are all herbivores, so the cost is low and the profit is high."
“Bei Nan, raising these things isn’t difficult, but I don’t have enough money to buy these little ones. Rabbits, on the other hand, are a good option.”
"Bei Nan, who will you sell them to after they're grown up? You can't bear to eat them yourself, what will you do if you can't sell them?"
"Bei Nan, just say the word, and we'll follow you."
Hearing everyone's questions all at once, the old village chief stood up, tapped his pipe, and said, "Don't talk, just listen to Bei Nan."
The main room fell silent. Bei Nan stood up, took out a notebook, looked it over, and said, "Uncles and elders, don't worry. We can do it even without money. Just pay us back later when the boy is older and we sell him."
"I need to discuss this matter thoroughly with Ma Mingchun and also seek everyone's opinions. In any case, if we want to get rich and prosper, we must leave Mushroom Village and go out into the world."
Yan Xiaonan was the first to applaud. When Bei Nan discussed it with her, she had wholeheartedly agreed. Unfortunately, Bei Nan had too many things to do in the future, so she agreed to only invest and not manage.
Bei Nan smiled smugly. "You've invested, so you'll know how to manage it. It's just that the time for management hasn't come yet."
Ye Chenming smiled, pursing his lips. Even someone as clever as Yan Xiaonan could be fooled one day. Yan Xiaonan found it amusing. Did Yan Xiaonan really think he was a block of wood? Who wouldn't want to build up their hometown?
Let Bei and Nan do this good deed. Heaven has eyes, and hopefully Bei and Nan's goodwill can wash away their past sins. Everything in the world has its cause and effect.
Time ticked by, and the two roe deer were completely devoured by these people, leaving not even their internal organs. Yan Xiaoqiang was also drunk and was helped into the room by Cuihua and Xinan, where he fell asleep immediately.
Duoduo is close to Southwest, and her intention to follow Southwest is very obvious. Tang Jianjun also knows what happened in the town today. Tang Jianjun has no hope for this girl anymore.
But this Xu Lili, you really can't tell she's such a feisty person. Tang Jianjun glanced at her, and Xu Lili smiled and nodded, showing no fear or embarrassment whatsoever.
There's no other way. You have to defend your own marriage. Your daughter has already betrayed Southwest, yet she still wants to come back and steal her man. No woman would back down.
"Old woman, we're going home. Help me, I think I've had a bit too much to drink." Tang Jianjun took his mother's hand, greeted Yan Xiaonan, and quickly headed home.
The old bachelor and Xu Xiangrong were busy cleaning up the mess, while the old village chief led the drowsy Ma Mingchun home. This kid hadn't been this happy in years.
Before long, the lively Yan family fell silent. Duoduo slept with Beinan. Tonight, your father will apologize to your stepmother. Although it wasn't your father's fault, he was the source of the problem.
Ye Chenming fell asleep holding Enming. Chenming must have been exhausted these past few days. Yan Xiaonan closed the door to her room and came to the courtyard.
Looking up at the bright starry sky, I took a deep breath. The air was so fresh that it made me feel completely refreshed. In two more days, I'll be going back to Beijing. My little one at home must be missing me terribly.
Yan Xiaonan closed the courtyard gate and then the door to the main room. He carefully checked the candles and returned to his room. He took off his cotton-padded coat and trousers and lay down on the warm kang (heated brick bed).
Apart from Duoduo, everyone in the Yan family entered their own dream world. Duoduo stubbornly held on, hoping that her father would come and sleep with her. She waited and waited, and finally fell asleep.
