Shen Yulan was so tired that she almost fell asleep while walking, so she didn't think much of it, went into the side room, lay down and fell asleep.

On the other side, after the full moon banquet, the villagers, having eaten and drunk their fill, left the Shen family in twos and threes.
The once bustling courtyard gradually quieted down.
Shen Jingyan accompanied Gu Zhiyun to Lao Xu's place to ask for leave, and also packed some personal clothing and daily necessities.
Having decided to return to the city to visit, the two did not want to waste a moment and prepared to set off early the next morning.
Old Xu knew that something had happened to Gu Zhiyun's family, so he didn't express his dissatisfaction with Gu Zhiyun taking a week off. He even gave him a lot of review materials and told him not to forget to review when he got home.
Shen Jingyan was busy for a while and finally finished making arrangements, but Shen Yulan still hadn't returned.
She was somewhat surprised. Shen Yulan and Chen Feng didn't get along, and it was impossible for her to stay at the Shen family's house for a long time without something special.
A vague sense of unease arose in her heart, so she put down the book she was reading and headed towards the Shen family's house.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Shen family, Shen Yuqin, along with Granny Zhao and Granny Zhao's mentally challenged son, were sneakily peeking into the yard.
Seeing that all the guests had left, Shen Yuqin quickly knocked on the door.

Chen Feng opened the door, and she was overjoyed to see that Shen Yuqin had successfully summoned Granny Zhao and Zhao Dashan.
"Mom, is Dad not here?"
"No, no, I've seen the guest off."
Chen Feng hurriedly invited Granny Zhao and Zhao Dashan into the house.
Shen Yuqin asked again, still worried, "Anzi isn't here either, is he? That simpleton is always causing trouble!"
Chen Feng was already impatient: "No, no! He's eaten and gone to play, how would he know any of this!"
As soon as Granny Zhao entered the house, she hurriedly lifted the curtain: "Where is he? Let me see!"
Chen Feng pulled her aside and spread her hands, saying, "Sister Zhao, we had an agreement. The bride price is three hundred yuan. My daughter is sleeping in the side room. I drugged her. She won't wake up for three to five hours. Once your son goes in, we can get it done. You have to give me half the money as agreed beforehand, and the other half after it's done!"
Granny Zhao was a shrewd woman; she wouldn't just hand over the money because of a few words from Chen Feng.
"Let me see if it's as beautiful as you and your daughter described!"

Some time ago, Chen Feng suddenly visited Granny Zhao's house and said bluntly that her eldest daughter, who had lost her husband, was getting married and the Zhao family was the first family she thought of.
Although Granny Zhao's son was mentally challenged, Granny Zhao, relying on her wealth, refused to settle for a less desirable wife.
She wanted to find a beautiful, smart, and capable daughter-in-law who could not only give her a grandson but also take care of her mentally challenged son and support her in her old age.
Ever since Shen Jingyan drove away her entire family of relatives, Granny Zhao has been unable to find a daughter-in-law she likes, and a heavy weight has been weighing on her mind.
Chen Feng praised Shen Yulan to the skies, which made Granny Zhao very tempted. Although she had been married and her husband had died, Shen Yulan was not old, only 22 years old, a little older than her son. Perhaps she would be more sensible and better at taking care of people.
Seeing that Granny Zhao was interested, Chen Feng promised to bring Shen Yulan to the Zhao family to meet her one day. Granny Zhao waited for two months, but no one came.
Just when she was about to forget about it, Shen Yuqin suddenly came to her house today, asking her to take Zhao Dashan to the Shen family to get married.
Shen Yuqin explained that Shen Yulan was stubborn and unwilling to get married. Chen Feng felt sorry for her living alone and thought she was helpless, so she planned to "help her get married" at today's full moon banquet and let Zhao Dashan and Shen Yulan "enter the bridal chamber" on the spot. When Shen Yulan woke up, it was too late, and she had to go home with Granny Zhao even if she didn't want to.
Granny Zhao disapproved of Chen Feng's malicious plan, but she was happy that her son could bring a beautiful wife home. In addition, Shen Yuqin patted her chest and guaranteed that everything would go smoothly, so Granny Zhao did not hesitate any longer and came with Zhao Dashan.
Chen Feng lifted a corner of the curtain and pointed to the beautiful figure lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Look, that's my eldest daughter!"

Granny Zhao craned her neck to peek inside, her heart leaping with joy.
Lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) was a slender girl with an oval face, fair skin, and a delicate nose and mouth. Her long eyelashes trembled gently with her breath, and one could only imagine the captivating eyes beneath them.
Although she wasn't quite as pretty as the fierce Jingya, she was still a rare beauty in the surrounding villages.
"Tsk tsk, beautiful, beautiful! How come your eldest daughter is so beautiful? She doesn't look like you at all!"
Granny Zhao praised her for a while, then looked at Shen Yuqin with disdain, "The two sisters don't even look alike, they're like heaven and earth."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng and Shen Yuqin both turned pale, but in order to get the money, Chen Feng held back her anger.
"Wife, my wife!" Zhao Dashan laughed wildly, barging into the house. "My wife is so beautiful! I want to kiss her!"
When Granny Zhao saw that her son had grasped the concept without being taught, she was overjoyed. She pushed her son inside and closed the door.
Chen Feng panicked and grabbed Zhao Dashan by the back of his shirt to keep him from getting closer.
"The money! It's half the money you promised! Until I see the money, your son can't touch my daughter!"
