When Cui Cancan heard the voice, she looked and saw Su Chen's mother Zhou Huiyun waving at her.
Cui Cancan walked towards Zhou Huiyun.
"Cancan, this is the seat I reserved for you. You are not familiar with the other ladies, so you can sit next to me and talk to me." Zhou Huiyun said as she pulled Cui Cancan to sit next to her.
Cui Cancan nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."
"Mrs. Su, this is..."
A noble lady sitting on the other side of Zhou Huiyun asked.
Zhou Huiyun smiled and said, "Cancan, let me introduce you. This is the wife of the Left Inspector Censor. Her surname is Xiao."
Cui Cancan knelt gracefully and bowed, saying, "Cancan greets Madam Xiao."
"Mrs. Xiao, this is my niece, Cui Cancan. Her mother and I were good friends when we were young, but my sister passed away early, so as her aunt, I want to take better care of this child." Zhou Huiyun explained briefly.
"Ah? You mean Cui Cancan? General Cui's daughter?" Mrs. Xiao looked at Cui Cancan in disbelief.
"Yes, she is General Cui's daughter. In a sense, she should be considered as my brother-in-law, right?" Zhou Huiyun said with a smile.
Madam Xiao's tone was a little hesitant, and she said: "I have seen this Miss Cui before, but she didn't look like this now! This..."
Zhou Huiyun explained with a smile: "Hey! That was all in the past. This child has suffered a lot to become what he is now."
Madam Xiao said, "This is unbelievable. I saw Miss Cui as soon as I walked in. I was still trying to guess who Miss Cui was. I didn't expect you to have changed so much. You're completely different. You're much more beautiful now."
Cui Cancan smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Madam Xiao, for the compliment."
"Eh...that's not right, Madam Su. Didn't they say that the engagement between Miss Cui and Young Master Su was cancelled? There are still rumors outside that your two families are related because of this matter..." Madam Xiao stopped talking here.
Zhou Huiyun smiled and said, "Although Cancan has no chance of becoming my daughter-in-law, I already treat her as my own daughter, so the relationship between the Su and Cui families remains the same."
Madam Xiao suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." But then she looked at Cui Cancan with interest and said, "Miss Cui is also of marriageable age. How about I find a suitable man for her?"
Cui Cancan smiled a little unnaturally, and suddenly didn't know how to refuse politely.
Zhou Huiyun noticed it and immediately came to her rescue, saying, "Mrs. Xiao, Cancan just broke off her engagement with Chenyu. At this critical juncture, it's better to wait for things to calm down. It's not too late to talk later."
Madam Xiao thought about it and felt that what Zhou Huiyun said made sense. She said, "That's right! But with Miss Cui's current situation, she is beautiful and has a good family background. She will definitely find a suitable husband."
Zhou Huiyun nodded and said, "Then I'll borrow Madam Xiao's good words."
The ladies sitting at the same table heard the conversation between the two, and in an instant Cui Cancan became the focus of the table.
Everyone's face was filled with shock. They couldn't believe that this was Cui Cancan, the fat lady from the general's mansion who had been pestering Young Master Su all day long.
The woman in front of them at this moment had graceful manners, a graceful figure, beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and was very smart and beautiful. It was impossible to tell that she was the same person as before.
This news can be said to be a new topic of conversation for these noble ladies who usually stay at home.
The capital was bustling with activity and celebration, and Xujia Village, far to the south, was also bustling with activity.
Most of the tourists who used to live in Xujia Village have now left, after all, it is getting closer to the Chinese New Year.
This year is definitely the most prosperous year in the history of Xujia Village.
This year, the old man gave the villagers a holiday half a month in advance so that they could prepare some New Year's goods.
Nowadays, every household has bought an ox cart for the convenience of travel.
The villagers were also willing to spend money, and they brought back cartloads of New Year's goods from the town, including candies, snacks, various meats, and some cotton cloth.
There was no sign of distress on anyone's face; everyone was smiling.
Everyone in the surrounding villages envies Xujia Village. Some of them even want to move to Xujia Village so that they can get rich together with the people in Xujia Village.
Unfortunately, I don't know the people in Xujia Village well. The most important thing is that everyone in the village is surnamed Xu. As an outsider, I don't know if I can move in. I'm worried about being ostracized. If they make money, I'll just have to watch them. Isn't that asking for trouble?
The school also closed early, so the whole Xujia Village became lively. The younger children ran to the playground to play on the entertainment facilities. Because when there were tourists, the children in the village were sensible and did not make any noise even if they wanted to play.
Just when all the tourists had left, they finally seized the opportunity and had a great time.
Wang was sitting on a couch in the main hall, with a small stove in front of her, which was quite warm. She said, "I wonder if Shusheng and Zhiyong can come back this year."
"Mom, he will definitely be back, and Wenwu should be back soon too." Zhang said.
Wang smiled and said, "Well, it's good that you can come back. This year our family will have a lively reunion, and I'm afraid everyone in the village will have a good New Year."
Hearing this, Wang smiled and said, "Mother, it's more than just a good year. You haven't seen the scene of all those carts of goods being pulled into the village. Which village can be like our Xu Village? Other villages are drooling with envy."
Zhang continued, "That's right. When I went back to my mother's village before, many people asked me if they could come with us and just open a snack stand in our village. How could I agree to that? I just made up an excuse to get away with it."
Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Yes, I've also encountered what my sister-in-law said. Although the wages in the vermicelli workshop are good, not every family has someone working in the workshop. Seeing others get their wages every month and go home happily, it's normal for them to be jealous."
Wang nodded and said, "Their vermicelli business is getting better and better. I heard from my mother-in-law that the current workshop is a bit small. They plan to hire someone to rebuild it into a larger workshop next year and hire more people. This will be good. If others have a profitable business, they won't set their sights on our village."
The four of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were chatting and roasting by the fire, creating a very happy scene.
White Wolf and the others also lay down beside them, occasionally tilting their heads to look at Wang and the others carefully as they spoke, shaking their ears, as if they understood what they heard.
