After understanding the whole process, Chen Fan finally understood why the Lin family was so angry.

This kind of thing happens everywhere. It can be said that the Lin family was unlucky this time, as it happened to coincide with the Song family's memorial service.

Later, Chen Fan still admired Su Ruchu's uncle for being able to make a decisive choice.

In the face of an irresistible force, the most important thing is to decisively choose to compromise and deal with the current affairs well.

As it got darker, the relatives and friends of the Lin family gradually rushed to the Lin family's old house.

The Lin family is a prominent family in the local area, and most of the people who can come are relatives. Unless they are very close friends, most of them will come during the memorial service tomorrow.

In the large courtyard of the Lin family's old house, the Lin family invited a chef to cook several tables of food, and everyone sat down to eat dinner together.

Although it is located in the southern region, the temperature is still very low just after the Chinese New Year.

It's comfortable to eat in the yard.

Because of Chen Fan's special status, Su Xuecheng asked Chen Fan to eat at the main table, but Chen Fan refused.

In the end, accompanied by Su Ruchu, the two of them ate alone in a relatively quiet corner of the yard.

Chen Fan is from the north, and the local dishes are not to his liking. It seems that the dishes eaten by the locals are a bit bland.

Su Ruchu saw that Chen Fan had no appetite, so she asked considerately if the food was to his liking and if he could cook her a bowl of instant noodles.

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"It's okay. I ate a lot during the day and I'm very hungry now."

"I found that the funeral customs here are actually very different from ours."

Su Ruochu was in a very good mood and whispered, "I'm afraid this memorial service went too smoothly."

"What's up?"

"I heard the adults talking just now. They said that they originally prepared more than 20 tables, but only 13 tables showed up that night, and several tables were empty. Many guests didn't show up."

Su Ruochu explained softly, "Originally my uncles and aunts advocated keeping it simple, but it was my mother who said that we should let grandma pass away in a dignified manner and have a grand ceremony."

Chen Fan asked curiously, "Does your grandma have many relatives?"

Su Ruchu raised his head and glanced at the yard.

"There are quite a lot of relatives from my grandma's and grandpa's side, and almost all of them who could come have come."

Chen Fan was curious: "Normally, for something like this to happen in the village, the villagers should come over to help and have a feast, right?"

At this point, Su Ruchu's expression became even sadder.

"Except for the villagers who came to help, most of the villagers went to the town."

Seeing Chen Fan's confusion, Su Ruochu explained softly, "I just heard from my uncles that there was a big banquet in the big square in Songjia Town, and a troupe of actors were invited to perform. All the villagers who went to watch the banquet could eat for free, watch the performance for free, and get a bag of rice when they left."

"The Lin family is very powerful in the town, and they are used to showing off their power and influence. No one in the town dares to provoke them."

"And the Lin family has opened a labor market. If villagers from several villages in the town want to find a job, they have to go to the labor market. They dare not offend the Lin family..."

After hearing this, Chen Fan basically understood.

It seems that most of the villagers have gone to the town to join in the fun.

As the two were talking, Su Ruchu's uncle suddenly walked in from the courtyard gate with an ugly look on his face.

When they came to the table where Su Ruochu's uncle and his friends were sitting in the yard, they whispered something. Suddenly, Su Ruochu's uncle slapped the table and stood up.

"That's too much."

"This gang is simply going too far."

"Let's go! Let's go find them. I want to see what these guys want to do."

The sudden scene made all the guests who were having dinner in the yard look up in surprise.

Seeing this, Su Xuecheng quickly winked and grabbed his wife.

"Don't worry, go inside first and talk later."

Lin Wanxiu said with an unpleasant expression: "Why are you still going into the house? I want to see what you can do to me."

At this time, Su Ruchu's uncle shouted loudly.

"Third sister, come in."

As soon as the eldest uncle opened his mouth, the brothers and sisters, even if they were full of anger, could hold it in for the time being and followed him into the hall with a happy look on their faces.

Chen Fan looked up and noticed that the young man in the yard also followed the adults into the house, so he looked at Su Ruchu.

"Would you like to go in and take a look?"

Seeing Su Ruchu's hesitant expression, Chen Fan spoke.

"Come on. I'll go with you."

Su Ruochu then stood up and walked over accompanied by Chen Fan.

As he approached the door, Chen Fan heard angry curses and roars coming from inside.

The young men who were blocking the door turned around and saw Chen Fan and Su Ruchu. After hesitating for a moment, they made way for them to go in.

In the hall, almost all the Lin family members were here.

Su Xuecheng and his uncle sat on the sofa with grim expressions and were speechless.

The female members of the family were cursing loudly.

Chen Fan stood at the door and listened for a while before he basically understood what had happened.

It turned out that the Lin family had specially invited a gong and drum troupe in order to make the funeral more lively.

As a result, as soon as the evening gong and drum team arrived in the town, they were forcibly kidnapped by the Song family.

No wonder the Lin family is so angry at this moment.

Hit someone in the face.

As the saying goes, the dead are greatest.

At this time, the gong and drum band that was invited was forcibly kidnapped.

This is a sheer humiliation.

Chen Fan shook his head speechlessly.

This person from the Song family really went too far.

It's fine if you robbed someone's farewell hall during the day.

As a result, they directly snatched away the gong and drum team that they had hired. This was just targeting them. If this was handled properly, the two families might develop into a feud.

However, given the local power of the Song family, it seems that they really don't take the Lin family seriously.

In the living room, Lin Wanxiu was in a rare state of silence. After cursing for a while, she suddenly stood there and cried.

When she cried, several other women around her also started wiping their tears.

The young people of the Lin family were clamoring to settle accounts with the Song family.

We are all young and full of vigor. Compared with adults, we young people don't have so many concerns.

Someone's already riding on my face, there's no reason to fight back.

If the Lin family does something, the locals will probably not be able to hold their heads up high in the future.

"Fuck, follow us!"

Even my uncle, who usually had a good temper, couldn't hold back his anger at this moment. He turned around and took a sickle from the wall, and wanted to settle the score with the other party.

"Old Five. Stop!"

"Stop right there!"

Seeing that a group of people were about to rush over, Su Ruchu's uncle suddenly slammed the table and yelled.

"Brother, they are riding on our heads, are we going to pretend to be deaf and dumb?"

My uncle's face turned red and he roared angrily.

"Why are you so impulsive!"

My uncle scolded me, "Can impulsiveness solve problems?"

"Let me ask you, even if you bring someone with you, what will happen?"

"How powerful is the Lin family in the town? How many people are there? Don't you know?"

"If you lead this group of young people to charge over now, can you win?"

The group fell silent, and a young man next to them, who was my uncle's son, spoke with his neck stiffened.

"Dad, we have to fight even if we win. Otherwise, how will our Lin family survive in the village in the future?"

"Yes! Even if we lose, we have to let them know that there are no cowards in our Lin family and we are not that easy to mess with..."

Several young people murmured quietly, obviously feeling a little relieved.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Fortunately, in this family, Su Ruchu's uncle has enough prestige. A scolding temporarily frightened these young people who were full of vigor.
