Zeng Ruixiang and Shen's wife saw Chunyu enter, furrowed their brows, and the old man quickly said: "These few are here to apologize, this good day is meant for many people to be lively, if we really drive them out, it won't be good for my eldest grandson's reputation either."

  "Yes, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, last time it was my fault, I talked nonsense. You are magnanimous, so let's not see things the same way again. Congratulations to you both, my big nephew is really talented, from now on you can also live a life of luxury." Chunyu said as she stepped forward.

  Zeng Ruixiang and Shen listened without saying a word, turned around to greet others, Chunyu was somewhat embarrassed, Zifeng saw that it was not possible to rush out, so he locked the study, fortunately in these few days knowing that there were guests coming to the house, very busy, so beforehand put away valuable things, only leaving the Western clock to tell time.

  The three wives' five sons were already helping out in the yard early on, borrowing tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks and washing them afterwards. Zeng Ruiyu saw Shen Shi was busy alone in the kitchen, so he quickly called his wife to help out. Lunch was set up with four tables, barely making do. Shen Shi kept complaining of back pain. Luckily, some villagers came over to help with cooking in the evening and made dinner together, staying behind to eat. Only then did Shen Shi feel much more at ease.

  After dinner, Chunyu and her family wanted to stay here because there was Qiuyin on the old house side, and the other two rooms were locked up by Zhou Shi.

  Zeng Ruixiang listened and said with a straight face, "There are many things at home that can't be taken care of. In the old house, there were even more people than now, you've lived here before, what's the big deal now."

  Zi Qing saw Yan Ren Da's face change several times in an instant, as if pondering something, and suddenly returned to normal, hastily saying that they had not considered thoroughly, and left with their family.

  The next day, Shen Jianshan and Shen Jianshui brought over twenty people from the two families. Later, Shen Jianren's family also arrived. At around 10 o'clock, San Bao's family came over as well. Her five sons, five daughters-in-law, and a bunch of grandchildren all came. Shen was busy entertaining with her son Qing. Since it was in the countryside, everyone didn't stand on ceremony, so there weren't many formalities. Although men and women sat separately, they were all within the same courtyard. Twenty tables were set up in total. The older folks had to be served tea first. At around 11 o'clock, Old Man Tian and his family arrived. Da Mao enthusiastically came over to offer to help Qing, but Qing felt suspicious and thought it was unusual. Qing remembered how her father had rejected them the night before, so she thought that Da Mao didn't have good intentions today.

  The guests have almost arrived, Zeng Ruixiang ordered the opening of the banquet, and for a time, the cups and dishes were crossed. The noise was repeated, and there were few people helping to serve the dishes, all of whom were familiar with or relatives of the same village. Shen's family had no choice but to send Zi Qing back and forth to serve the dishes, Da Mao deliberately rubbed against Zi Qing's side and said loudly: "Qing Er, you come over, I have something to say to you."

  Ziying ignored her, thinking to herself: "Qing'er is also someone you can call." At this time, she noticed a scorching gaze beside her. Ziying looked over and saw a 14 or 15-year-old boy. She felt that she had never seen him before. Unexpectedly, when he saw Ziying looking at him, he walked over, first greeting Damao, then asking Ziying: "You don't remember me? That time in school, picking peaches, falling down, peach forest."

  That person was about to continue hinting when Zi Qing finally remembered the embarrassing incident and hastily interrupted him, saying: "So it was you, I remember now."

  Dà Máo listened from the side and asked: "How did you two meet?"

  "That day, I took Grandma to the school to pick peaches. Since we couldn't reach them, we stepped on a stool. Who knew it would collapse? And unexpectedly, someone was hiding in the peach grove stealing and peeking." Zi Qing frankly told the story, but instead made that young man blush.

  "Actually, we met before, but you just don't remember me. That time, your dog chased us and made us run all over the place, causing me to fall and skin my knee pretty badly. Do you still have any impression of that?" The young man reminded him.

  As soon as he said that, Zi Qing remembered that it was probably the year when Zi Yu was born and gave birth to a gift for the villagers. He only remembered that there was a runny nose, chasing himself all day calling his wife, and seven or eight children making fun of him. Among them, one was particularly enthusiastic, could it be the person in front of him?

  Ziying looked up and glanced at the young man in front of her, who was indeed dignified and handsome, but couldn't find any familiar signs, so she asked: "Could it be that you are that snot-nosed kid? Or is it that child king?"

  The young man was about to speak when he saw Big Hair reach out to take the plate from Zi Qing's hand, intentionally flicking it towards Zi Qing, splashing soup and vegetables all over her chest. Big Hair immediately pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and pretended to help Zi Qing wipe off the stains, while actually pulling on her collar with force. Zi Qing instinctively pushed him away, revealing a small patch of neck, but before she could react further, Big Hair quickly undid her skirt tie with his left hand, causing it to fall to the ground. Zi Qing was stunned, but fortunately, the young man beside her reacted quickly and pulled her away, shouting: "What do you think you're doing?"

  At this time, everyone's eyes turned to this side. Zi Qing suddenly understood and was both angry and ashamed. One hand covered her neckline, the other quickly picked up her skirt and ran into the house. Yan Ren Da stood up and said: "Nothing, it's just that my son accidentally knocked over a plate, spilling things onto his cousin's clothes. My son and his cousin have been close since childhood, so he helped her clean up, but accidentally touched her, causing her skirt to scatter, and also saw her cousin's underwear. My son is willing to take all responsibility and marry her."

  "Your son is shameless, he deliberately tore the collar of someone's clothes, and your son intentionally threw a plate at the girl, also intentionally untied someone's belt." The young man quickly refuted.

  Yan Renda heard this and became somewhat anxious, saying: "Children don't know what's important or unimportant, don't talk nonsense."

  "I'm not talking nonsense, this concerns the girl's reputation. I think it's not just your son who is shameless, you are also shameless." The young man emphasized.

  "What's shameless is you, what makes you drag my cousin around laughing and chatting? What are you trying to get close to her for? Don't think I don't know what's on your mind." Da Mao angrily asked the young man.

  At this time, Zeng Rui Xiang and Shen Shi, Zi Fu all came over. Zi Fu rushed up and kicked Da Mao several times. Da Mao didn't expect Zi Fu to use force, so he reacted quickly and started fighting with Zi Fu. Er Mao and San Mao saw this and wanted to come forward to help. The several cousins from the Shen family had already lost their patience, got down from the table, and also the several 10-year-old grandsons from San Po Po's house, who were studying at Zeng Rui Xiang's school, took this opportunity to repay kindness, seeing Zi Fu fighting with someone, how could they stand by and do nothing? They all clenched their fists and rushed down from the table. A big fight was about to break out. Zeng Rui Xiang hurriedly protected his son, stopped everyone, and said: "Da Mao, take your parents home. From now on, don't come to my house unless it's necessary. I don't have such a nephew, nor do I have such a sister."

  Yan Renda wanted to say something, but the old man stopped him and hurriedly sat down. He then said to Zeng Ruixiang: "Child, listen to your father's words. First, let's settle this matter for now, and talk about it later. If they leave like this, it won't be suitable. It will also affect Zi Qing's reputation."

  Shen listened and pulled down Zeng Rui-xiang's collar, Zeng Rui-xiang understood her meaning and said to Yan Ren-da: "Either sit down honestly and eat, or take your family away and never set foot in my house again."

  Yan Renda had never seen Zeng Ruixiang so tough before, and he obediently sat down. At this time, Zeng Ruixiang explained to the guests: "Sorry about that. Just now something unexpected happened, my nephew accidentally knocked over a dish, and my daughter was splashed with soup when she walked by. She got a bit startled, but it's okay, everyone please continue enjoying yourselves."

  Still, some people started discussing in a low voice. After all, someone had seen Zi Qing's embarrassing appearance in her underpants. Zi Fu was anxious but couldn't do anything about it. At this time, the young man loudly explained, saying: "Really, nothing big happened. I've been classmates with Da Mao for two years, and we haven't seen each other for almost a year. I came over to say hello, but he got excited and knocked over the dish, scaring the girl who was passing by, which led to this little accident. You guys shouldn't spread rumors and ruin someone's reputation."

  It turned out that this young man was the youngest son of the Li family, and when the villagers saw him come out to explain, they returned to their seats to eat and drink. However, there were still people whispering among themselves.

  Zi Fu let out a slight sigh of relief and said, "Thank you."

  The young man walked up beside Zifeng and said in a low voice, "No need to thank me."

  After seeing off the villagers, Zeng Ruixiang left behind Old Master and Tian Shi as well as Chunyu's family. The Shen family naturally knew what was going on and if it weren't for He Shi stopping them, they would have rushed forward to beat someone up. Under He Shi's persuasion, they temporarily took their leave.

  Zeng Ruixiang let Qiu Yu take the two little ones and a few small children away first, then questioned Yan Renda: "Brother-in-law, what do you want to do today? Zi Qing has already been engaged, even before the engagement, I clearly told her that she would not marry Da Mao. As an elder, how can you harm her like this? How will she face the village's criticism and the blame of her newly engaged husband? What is your intention? Over the years, I have asked myself if I have been good enough to your family. The several sons have been raised by you for many years, and every year my mother secretly supplements you with those silver coins that are mine. Don't treat others as blind and foolish, don't think we don't know what kind of evil plan you're plotting. Today, I'm telling you clearly again, even if your actions today cause my daughter to be rejected for marriage, even if she becomes an old spinster and can't get married, I'll raise her for the rest of my life. You should give up this idea."

  "Second brother, what's the point of this? My big fur isn't intentionally doing this, is it an accident? It's good that my big fur is willing to take responsibility. After all, Zi Qing was engaged, and today she made a scene in public, how can she hold her head up in the village in the future? If her husband's family finds out, they will definitely not let her off easy, breaking off the engagement is only a matter of time. We're thinking of Zi Qing's well-being, that's why we said we would marry her. Second brother seems to think that we intentionally planned to trap Zi Qing, how is that possible? Zi Qing is still Chun Yu's niece after all, you don't treat Big Fur as an outsider, and we still treat Zi Qing as a niece." Yan Ren Da Hou said with a thick face.

  "Stop farting, this will make you a good person, go and fool the ghosts. Don't think I don't know what's on your mind, there are gods watching from above, dare you swear that you didn't plan this together? Dare you say that you aren't intentionally trying to take advantage of my daughter Ziying? Even if my daughter was dumped by her fiancé, it wouldn't be your turn, give up on that idea. Her father also said, even if we have to raise our daughter for the rest of our lives, we won't push her into that fiery pit of a household." Shen's anger had reached the point where she couldn't help but curse.

  "Second sister, it's not possible to say such things so full of yourself. Who knows, in the future you might even ask our Damao to marry your Ziying. Everyone in the courtyard has seen how unvirtuous your Ziying is, and if word gets out, who knows what others will say? My family's Damao is still afraid of being pointed at by others, and he agreed to marry Ziying only because of our familial relationship. And yet you're still here nitpicking." Chunyu said.

  "Get out, get out of my house! I don't have a sister like you. Don't come to my house again from now on. All these years, it's as if I've raised a white-eyed wolf. Get out, get out quickly!" Zeng Rui Xiang shouted loudly.

  Tian heard and wanted to say something, but the old man pulled her away. Yan Renda wanted to open his mouth to say something, but Zeng Ruixiang ordered Zi Fu to send the guest off. Zi Fu had been waiting for this sentence, took a stick, and drove people away without being polite.
