Accountant Wu also felt this deeply, "After all, I used to study in a private school with the landlord's daughter and I learned to read. I'm different from those illiterate women in the village."
There are no secrets in this village, and the news of the Huo family splitting up spread very quickly.
Ye Weiwei's uncle's family was just about to talk to Ye Weiwei about going back when they heard that they had separated their family. They didn't know what to say.
Especially after hearing Ye Weiwei recount the process of dividing the family property, her aunt couldn't help but say, "Your parents-in-law are both good people. You must take good care of them in the future. A single tree cannot make a forest. In the future, if anything good happens, don't forget to take care of your family."
Ye Weiwei: "Yes, I understand."
Hearing that her in-laws were leaving, Liu Guilan insisted on inviting them to a farewell meal, so the two families sat down together for a proper meal.
I didn't prepare anything special, just a big plate of braised pork, a stewed chicken, braised rabbit with potatoes, and two stir-fried green vegetables.
The pork was from the big wild boar that Huo Xiao and his uncle had hunted that day. There was still a large piece left over after the wedding banquet.
The chicken is an old hen that doesn't lay eggs at home, and the rabbit meat is wild rabbit that was hunted in the mountains these past few days.
Huo Jiang went to the river and brought back a small bucket of fish. Liu Guilan and Su Xuemei cleaned them, coated them with egg wash and flour, and then fried them in oil. They were golden and crispy, so delicious that people ate them even with the bones.
Bai Wenshan thought the fried small fish was especially delicious. She wondered how Liu Guilan made it, because the river fish had no muddy smell at all, only freshness and fragrance.
This method uses the most oil, and if you want it to taste good, you can't skimp on eggs and flour, but even she can't bear to eat it like this.
She knew that Liu Guilan had specially prepared this meal to entertain her family, and she was touched by this thoughtfulness. She pulled Liu Guilan aside and talked intimately with her for a while.
Before leaving, Liu Guilan packed two large bags of dried mushrooms and wood ear fungus from her home and wild chestnuts she had picked up from the mountain. She also gave Bai Wenshan two wild rabbits that had been rubbed with salt and hung to dry.
“Young lady, we don’t have anything good in our rural area, just these mountain products. They’re not worth much. Take them back and enjoy them fresh.”
Bai Wenshan was unwilling to accept it and quickly declined. However, she was no match for Liu Guilan with her strength and had no choice but to thank her and accept the dried mushrooms and fungus. She refused to accept the two wild rabbits no matter what.
"Big sister, I appreciate your kindness. We have quite a few wild rabbits at home, and I don't even have enough room to put them all."
Knowing that Bai Wenshan wasn't just being polite, Liu Guilan didn't press the matter further.
We still have a long time to spend together.
Ye Weiwei has been working hard these past two days to make a batch of pills, prioritizing the life-saving pills so that her uncle can take them with him this time.
The uncle even specifically asked Ye Weiwei if she still had the tea she sent him last time. That tea was so good that when he brewed it, that old man surnamed Bai smelled it and has been chasing after him every day asking for more. When he heard that he was coming to attend his niece's wedding, he repeatedly told him to bring back more tea and even gave him a big red envelope for it.
Despite their life-or-death friendship, Zhang Changnian refused the red envelope, but he was determined to take more of the tea back with him.
He had originally planned to ask Ye Weiwei where she picked the tea leaves from the mountain so he could go up the mountain and see if he could get some, but Ye Weiwei said that there were no more on the mountain, which left him extremely disappointed.
Ye Weiwei took some time to urge another batch to be produced in her space, and then cooked it for him using a machine.
Looking at the two large bags full of tea leaves, the uncle was so happy he was practically bubbling with joy.
Ye Weiwei packed up all the dried chicken, dried rabbit, and cured meat in the yard and gave them to her uncle's family to take away.
Aunt and her husband were reluctant to accept so much, but Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao insisted. Considering Ye Weiwei and Huo Xiao's abilities, Uncle didn't refuse anymore and accepted it all.
The train ticket is for tomorrow. In the evening, my uncle specially brought two bottles of good wine, two bags of snacks and milk powder, and a pack of cigarettes to visit the village chief, Lu Mingfa, to thank him for helping to repair the house and for taking care of Ye Weiwei these days.
Lu Mingfa declined a few times, but then happily accepted it.
“Ye Zhiqing is a good person. Now that she has married into our Daqingshan Village, she is one of us. I will definitely protect her.”
He was very pleased with Lu Mingfa's words, and after exchanging a few more polite words, he went back.
After the village chief's wife and the others left, they looked at the good stuff on the table and grinned from ear to ear.
"This relative of Ye, the educated youth, is indeed from the big city. He speaks politely and acts with generosity. Huo Laosan is truly blessed to have married a golden girl from the city."
Lu Mingfa frowned as he looked at his wife, who was speaking in a sour tone. “There are many people from big cities in our village, but how many of them are related to Ye Zhiqing’s family? It depends on the person! You should pay more attention to Ye Zhiqing and the Huo family in the future. I think Ye Zhiqing won’t stay in the countryside for many years. He will definitely return to the city in the future. The Huo family will have a good life ahead of them once they get this connection.”
Aunt Li rolled her eyes at her husband, "How could I not know all this! How could I not let people say a few sarcastic things at home!"
After finishing talking about the Huo family, Aunt Li thought of her sister-in-law's niece and said with a headache, "I think you should find some time to talk to your brother's family. That Zhao Zhiqing doesn't seem like someone who can settle down and live an honest life. He's full of tricks. If Da Hua really gets together with him, I think there will be a lot of trouble in the future."
Lu Mingfa gets a headache whenever his niece, Lu Xiaolan, is mentioned.
This niece is just like Ye Zhiqing when she first went to the countryside. She's bewitched by Zhao Mingzhe, that pretty boy, and wants to marry him so she can go back to the city and live the life of a city dweller.
It wasn't that he looked down on his niece or wanted to boost others' morale while diminishing his own; it was simply that Lu Xiaolan lacked looks, education, and skills, and couldn't compare to Ye Zhiqing.
That pretty boy doesn't even look at someone as well-off as Ye Zhiqing, how could he possibly look at her?
It was only because her father was the brigade leader that people treated her well out of respect for him. But she was stupid and thought that people were interested in her. Not only did she send them all sorts of good things, but she was also shameless and wanted to stick to them all the time.
He couldn't even bear to look!
If Zhao Mingzhe were a good person, that would be fine, but that pretty boy is really bad. Not only does he live off women, but he's also an ungrateful wretch. Even if Lu Xiaolan really marries him, she won't have a good life.
"Are you telling me nothing? Even if I do say something, it has to be heard by the other person!"
Lu Mingfa let out an angry snort.
He had given all the necessary reminders and said all the necessary things, but the family was still determined to jump into the pit. What could he do?
Good advice is useless against a damn fool!
