Chapter 267 CD Operation
After everyone finished eating, when Lu Qingqing and others were clearing the table, they found that all the bowls and plates on each table had been cleared.
At this time, people are really sticking to the "Clean Plate" campaign when they eat at a banquet.
There was no food left on the table except for the dishes and chopsticks.
Even the big bones were taken away by the children and used to chew on them for fun.
When the banquet was over, the guests took back the tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks they had brought with them.
When the children walked back with their bowls, they smelled the fragrance coming from the bowls and chopsticks and licked them again with their tongues.
When the adults saw this, they felt a little embarrassed and scolded him a few words and then said nothing more.
Since no one eats meat all year round, it is normal for children to be greedy. Scolding them is just to prevent other families from laughing at them.
A group of people walked back, squinting their eyes and sighing.
“This is such a filling meal!”
"Yes, at home we have to save even the bran-flour steamed bread, but we didn't expect these outsiders to be so generous.
There is real meat in that big bone soup. We farmers can only eat it a few times a year.
Just based on this meal, if they need me, Yang Lao San, in the future, I will definitely help them!"
Father Yang was walking in the crowd, and after hearing what Yang Lao San said, he continued:
“These days, it’s not easy for anyone.
When people use the meat they themselves are reluctant to eat to treat us, we should remember their kindness.
Don’t call me an outsider anymore, it hurts the relationship.”
Yang Lao San hurriedly said:
"Hey, look at my mouth, I'm really hurting the relationship by calling a stranger a stranger!
But Uncle Yang, what should we call them from now on?"
After a brief thought, Yang's father finally decided to call them "the North Courtyard" after the largest courtyard.
On the way back, everyone was still smacking their lips, savoring the taste of the meat they had just eaten.
When they arrived at the village, everyone saw from afar the red cloth hanging on the dilapidated house of Yang Shulin's family.
At the back of the crowd, a woman started talking to the woman next to her.
"Her Third Aunt, if you ask me, Yang Shulin's luck has really turned.
He found such a rich wife, so his family won't have to starve anymore!"
Another woman continued:
"That's right. When Yang Shulin went to pick up the bride, I saw that she had loaded half a cart with food!"
"Oh, there's really no comparison. Yang Shulin's family was so poor before, who would have thought that he could use a horse-drawn carriage when he got married!"
"That's what I meant, all those carriages belong to the North Courtyard.
Although I am not related to that girl, I think it is a good relationship that I am willing to lend you the carriage."
The woman who was listening on the side curled her lips:
"I feel so sorry for that girl. There are so many good guys in our village, but she has to go after that Yang Shulin.
I think she is not bad looking, and her dowry is generous, really..."
The other woman patted her hurriedly:
"Please speak softly. They're already married. If they hear you saying this, it will make both of you unhappy."
The woman looked around and saw that no one noticed, then she lowered her voice and said:
"Oh, I just can't hold back my words, but I don't have any bad intentions. You know, don't tell anyone about this!"
The other woman nodded:
"We've known each other for so many years, how could I not know you? Don't worry!"
As they were talking, they were almost at Yang Shulin's house.
Yang Shulin's house is just three thatched houses, and the courtyard wall is not that high, but a real fenced yard.
Walking from the street, you can see what's going on inside.
At this time, Yang Shulin's mother was grinning and showing off to several aunts in her family.
"My son Shulin has always been smarter than other children since he was young.
The other kids of his age in the village were not as clever as him.
Look, I’ve finally got my daughter-in-law back home!”
The aunties sitting nearby forced smiles on their faces. Today's meal was the worst they had had in recent years.
There are only three dishes on the table.
One dish of plain cabbage, one dish of stewed dried vegetables, and one dish of bran-skin steamed bread.
Not only was there no oil or water, but the steamed bread on the table was limited in number, with each person only getting a small one.
When they came, each family contributed two cents.
I didn’t feel full at all after this meal!
But Yang Shulin's mother, as if she couldn't see the situation clearly, dragged them around in the yard to show off.
"Let me tell you, my family is not like the other families in the village who have to borrow money from one family to another to marry a daughter-in-law.
My son Shu Lin is very capable, and my daughter-in-law likes him.
I think it would be unfair if I didn't give the betrothal gift, so I only gave 500 coins."
After saying this, Goudan's mother's face turned ugly.
Was she openly mocking his son?
Her son just got married last year and did borrow money from several families, but he didn't borrow money from her family.
Seeing Yang Shulin's mother's smug look on her face, Goudan's mother wanted to continue, so she interrupted:
"Every family that wants to marry a daughter-in-law has to pay one or two taels of silver, and some even pay up to six taels!
The offer is too little, I'm afraid I've cheated the girl!"
After hearing this, Mother Shulin's grinning mouth suddenly drooped.
"Goudan mother, what do you mean?"
Goudan's mother curled her lips:
"It's not interesting. In our village, no one has ever married a virgin girl without spending money over the years.
Oh, by the way, that’s why the widow from the Li family didn’t ask for a betrothal gift when she remarried.”
The forest lady was furious:
"You, you shrew, don't you dare say that about my Shu Lin. That...that...Bai Xing'er has never been married!"
The panic expression on her face was so obvious that it immediately attracted the attention of several women.
Goudan's mother seemed to have caught something and laughed:
"Oh, I just said it casually, and it really hit the mark!
"Mother Shulin, your Shulin is really not the virgin you married, right?"
Mother Shulin was completely panicked, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:
"Don't talk nonsense, Bai Xing'er is the daughter of a respectable family.
If you continue to talk nonsense, I will ask the village chief and the elders to make the decision!"
The women around looked at each other and began to doubt.
This forest lady's reaction is so weird!
However, if what they guessed just now is true, it would be much more reasonable.
Bai Xing'er was not bad looking, and she had both food and money.
If there are no defects, why do you have to find a poor and dingy one?
For a moment, the women looked at each other, and the suspicion in their eyes became more and more obvious.
Shulin Niang was completely furious and started to chase people away:
"You are not welcome in my house, get out of my house!"
She drove several women out of the house, and they happened to meet Yang's father and his group who had arrived here.
The woman behind Yang's team saw them being pushed out and asked in confusion:
"Goudan mother, what's going on?"
