When the two returned, the meal was already on the table. Liu Shan approached his sister with a playful smile and said flatteringly, "Sister, look how happy our parents are that you're back. They prepared all this food!"
Wang patted her son and said, "Stop joking. Wash your hands and eat."
Old Man Liu asked everyone to sit down and chat while eating.
After finishing their meal and washing the dishes, Wang's mother and daughter sat in the room and talked privately: "How could you spread rumors about my younger sister? Your mother-in-law was very kind by not giving you a hard time!"
The eldest aunt said aggrievedly, "I told Erzhu's wife about it, but I didn't know that woman would spread rumors outside! However, because of this incident, my younger sister moved to my second brother's place, which is also a good thing!"
Wang poked her daughter's head and said, "That's the only bad thing about you. You're so petty! Your mother-in-law has dozens of taels of silver. If she secretly gave it to my younger sister, would you know?"
The eldest aunt said with a sad heart: "That is the money allocated to our eldest wife!"
Wang shook her head and said, "You are the best married girl in our village, and you are living the most comfortable life. Don't mess around with Erzhu's wife. She is jealous that Lin married Li Erlang, and she is using you as a trick! Don't be complacent after being schemed against by others."
The conversation between the mother and daughter was heard clearly by Liu Shan, who came to visit Wang.
The Li family actually has so much money?
After Li Dalang helped Old Man Liu repair the farmhouse, he took his wife and daughter home.
Li Yan and Wu chatted for a while, and then they were about to go back. Wu reminded them, "Don't forget to pay respect to the moon tonight!"
"Respect the moon? What do you mean by respect the moon? What do you use to respect it?" Li Yan asked.
Mrs. Wu: "Hasn't our family done this before? Have you prepared everything?"
Li Yan asked doubtfully, "What are you preparing for?"
"Put up cakes, fruits, peanuts and the like, and set up an offering table in the yard at night!" said Mrs. Wu.
Li Yan: "Grandma, I only bought mooncakes!"
Wu turned back to her room, took out a bag of peanuts and handed it to Li Yan: "Prepare two or three for the occasion! Don't forget!"
Li Yan took the peanuts back home and said, "Mom, grandma said we should worship the moon at night, so she gave me peanuts!"
Lin: "I remember. Second Mistress sent a bag of pears to our house today. I put it in the room. You can take it out and wash it later. Use it to worship the moon in the evening!"
Li Xiaomei said, "Sister-in-law, let Yan'er rest for a while. I'll go get ready." Then she got up and went to work.
At night, Li Yan placed the prepared food on the small table, and Li Erlang moved the small table to the yard. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the spacious yard. Li Yan brought small stools and asked everyone to sit down in the yard.
Li Yan looked up at the round moon in the sky, surrounded by stars. The starry sky, which had never suffered from air pollution, was really beautiful.
Li Erlang: "Although our family divided up this year, we have bought a lot of land and built a house. I think our life will only get better and better in the future!"
Li Yan smiled and replied, "It will definitely get better and better. Once we sell all the forsythia trees, we can buy a house in town!"
Mrs. Lin teased her daughter, "Look at this girl, she's so ambitious now! She hasn't even sold the forsythia yet, and she's already starting to think about it."
Everyone chatted and laughed while enjoying the beautiful night view. When Lin felt sleepy, Li Erlang stood up and said, "It's late, let's go back and rest!"
Li Xiaomei and Li Yan packed up the things in the yard and then went back to the house to rest.
