Around eleven o'clock, the few guests from the Ling and Yang families had basically all arrived.
Mr. Qiu was recording the gifts in an orderly manner in the room. There were few gifts of money these days. Most of them were meat, cloth, etc., and it was a bit tedious to record them.
The courtyard was bustling with activity, and the guests were looking at the Ling family.
There are definitely people who gossip about her, after all, one is a widow who has been widowed for many years, and the other is an old bachelor.
When these two people are together, one can't help but wonder, could it be that Yang Shihua hasn't married for all these years just to wait for Wang Jinhua?
After all, with Yang Shihua's craftsmanship and the house in the town, no one would believe that he couldn't find a wife.
Of course, no one dared to say these words in public; at most they just gathered together and whispered them.
After all, the Ling family is no longer the orphans and widows who were bullied by others. Even the two cars at the door and the magnificent house are intimidating.
At exactly twelve o'clock, everyone sat down. Although there weren't many people, there were at least six full tables. After all, many of them had families with them. After Yi Bo's auspicious words, the banquet officially began.
“Woof woof woof.”
Dogs were barking outside the yard, and the guests in the yard looked at each other in confusion. Some people couldn't help but stand up.
Meng Qidi and Ling Xiao looked at each other and hurried out.
Yi Bo was still smiling, "It's okay, it's probably the dog making a fuss, everyone sit down, the banquet is about to start, everyone eat your fill."
As Yi Bo finished speaking, the first dish, a large bowl of braised pork, was served.
The crowd that originally wanted to watch the fun was instantly drawn back by the aroma of meat.
On this side, Meng Qidi and the other person walked out, and sure enough, they saw a figure frightened by a dog at the door.
It seemed a little unwilling to give up and tried to get closer to pull at the wire mesh, but the dog jumped and almost bit it.
There was a hint of displeasure in Meng Qidi's eyes. She picked up a stick on the side of the road and ran over. Ling Xiao had no choice but to jog after her.
Before Meng Qidi could hit the person, the person noticed the two people coming over and seemed to recognize Meng Qidi. He pointed at her and cursed her angrily.
"How can you be so shameless, woman! Why did you appear in my house?"
When Ling Xiao saw who was coming, the corners of his mouth twitched and he stopped.
"Your house, you're haunting it, right? The county said my house is yours, and this place is yours too. So if other people's houses are pretty, they all belong to you? If you're so brave, why don't you go to the police station and say that it's your house!"
Meng Qidi recognized the woman as she got closer. She was Xiao Chengzi's mother who had run away and Wu Jingxue who had robbed her house in the county town last time.
So the mother-in-law’s worries are correct. How dare this woman play on the swing?
"You! This is my home!" Wu Jingxue couldn't argue with Meng Qidi, so she quickly looked behind her. When she saw Ling Xiao, she felt that he looked familiar, so she hesitantly called out, "Uncle?"
Ling Xiao said calmly, "I'm sorry, this lady must have recognized the wrong person."
He didn't have a good impression of this ex-sister-in-law, especially because she had robbed his wife's house and abused Chujiu last time. Not to mention that she ran away a few months after his eldest brother died and took away all the money in the family. It was simply...
Wu Jingxue was anxious.
"No, you are Ling Xiao! Who is this woman? Tell her to get out of here right away. She stole my house in the county last time, and now... she... she is a liar!"
Originally, she was really afraid of being hooked up with the poor Ling family, but a few days ago, she heard from others that her blind mother-in-law was actually planning to get married!
Then she ran over and saw such a magnificent house, that was hers! As for that old woman, why did she get married? She was so old, but she didn't even bother to be ashamed.
This house is hers!
Meng Qidi looked at her sarcastically, "What? This old lady wants to take it for herself again? Excuse me, this is my man, this is my home, who are you?"
This shameless woman is Ling Xiao's wife? Wu Jingxue was shocked, "I... I'm your sister-in-law! Ling Cheng's biological mother!"
Meng Qidi clicked her tongue, "Is it the former sister-in-law who despises the poor and loves the rich? Tsk tsk, that's all... I thought you could make a decent living after leaving the Ling family, but I didn't expect you to rely on fraud and deception!"
"Who are you calling a liar?"
Meng Qidi sneered, "This lady is really a forgetful person. Have you forgotten about the incident in the county town where my house was robbed? Yes, back then, she was able to abandon her daughter and steal the life-saving money from home. How good is her character..."
Wu Jingxue couldn't win the argument with Meng Qidi. She was so angry that her teeth itched and she started to make a fuss. "You are just the daughter-in-law of the Ling family, but that is also my family! I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ling family!"
Meng Qidi looked at Ling Xiao, "This woman, was Big Brother blind to marry her?"
Ling Xiao looked at Wu Jingxue coldly, "Ms. Wu, are you sure you want to cause trouble in my house? Please return the money you took from my house that year, otherwise I will send you to the police station and sue you for theft!"
Wu Jingxue pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, "I want to see my daughter Ling Cheng!"
"Okay, I'll blind you first, then I'll negotiate terms with you."
Ling Xiao didn't say much, but the coldness in his words still made Wu Jingxue shudder. She stepped back instinctively, "You...your mother's eyes are healed..."
"But she was blind for so many years."
"Brother Xiao, why are you wasting time talking to her?" Meng Qidi swung the wooden stick in her hand and looked at Wu Jingxue with ill intent.
"Just beat her up first, we have to take revenge, otherwise Mom's life would have been wasted for so many years. Besides, no one will see her today, and no one will know if she is beaten to death..."
Before Meng Qidi finished her words, Wu Jingxue's face changed and she turned around and ran out.
Ling Xiao frowned, "With her personality, she will probably come again."
If I saw that my family was as poor as before, I would probably never have anything to do with them. But now I am afraid...
He was a little worried about Xiao Chengzi and Chujiu who would go to school in the future...
Meng Qidi threw the stick and said, "How about we go and get rid of her now? Once and for all."
Ling Xiao reached out and held her, "Don't make a fuss, it's not a one-time thing, there's no rush, I want to find a way to make her afraid to come to our house, go back first, today is a different day."
Meng Qidi nodded and told the silly dogs to keep watch on the door.
When the two men came back, no one else noticed, but Yi Bo still found something wrong with them and asked them to go into the house.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law enter the room, Wang Jinhua lifted her skirt and asked anxiously.
"Wu Jingxue is here." Ling Xiao glanced at Ling Cheng, who was eating with Chujiu Ling Tian at one side of the main room, and his eyes deepened a little.
"Why is she here? Is she still there?" Wang Jinhua was a little anxious, afraid that someone would come in and make a noise.
Meng Qidi comforted him, "I scared you away. It's okay. Let's toast first. Your wedding is important. This is clear."
Although Yi Bo didn't understand what they were saying, he nodded and said, "That's right, let's go out and toast first."
Meng Qidi and the other person came back in a hurry. Meng Yuzhen, who was at the banquet, noticed something was wrong, whispered something in Qiu Cheng's ear, and left quietly.
Wen Qiang snorted in dissatisfaction, "Brother Cheng, what is she doing? Getting so close to you..."
Qiu Cheng said calmly, "She said that since she's back, she'll go back to the village to take a look."
