Hearing this, Liao's face darkened and turned ugly instantly. The people in the queue also turned their heads to look at her.

I didn't expect that someone still remembered this. Liao looked at the person who spoke with hatred.

Mrs. Luo felt very happy when she saw Mrs. Liao's angry eyes. She just couldn't stand Liao's stingy look.

He is simply a fence-sitter. He runs away the fastest when there is good news, but hides behind when it comes to spending money and effort.

"My family paid for it, so why should I be embarrassed?" Liao was not to be outdone. She had nothing else but a thick skin.

Liao's eyes rolled, and suddenly she remembered something, her mouth curled up, and she raised her voice: "It's you.

I remember that time when Dachunniang bought 20 wen of pork fat from you on credit but didn't pay for it. You blocked her at the entrance of the village and laughed at her in front of the whole village. Now you're so quick to share the money. Have you forgotten this?"

Mrs. Luo didn't expect that Mrs. Liao would actually use this matter to annoy her. She really shot herself in the foot.

"You really are laughing at each other when you are only 50 steps ahead. Don't laugh at your second brother, I don't think either of you is any better!"

Old Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and glared at the two of them, thinking to herself, "This second son's wife has too much money and nowhere to spend it. She's such a spendthrift. Instead of giving the money to these people, she might as well help Da Niu and San Niu."

Watching the two of them arguing back and forth, the villagers who were watching covered their mouths and laughed, but they did not dare to laugh too wildly. After all, this matter involved Dachun Niang.

"What are you two arguing about!" The village chief frowned. How come these two people dragged Dachunniang into their conversation?

After hearing what they said, Shen Ping's face turned ugly, and she remembered the time when Luo blocked her at the entrance of the village.

Later, when there was a drought, Luo came to me for help. Later, I contracted the pig offal from Zhang the butcher. From then on, Luo always welcomed me with a smile.

Mrs. Luo felt regretful. She really ended up losing more than she gained. She should not have offended Mrs. Liao earlier.

Now she has revealed her dark history, and now she is too embarrassed to go to Dachunniang to get money.

"Alright! The two of you should say less and don't delay everyone from getting the money. If you don't want to take the money and still want to argue, just stand aside and talk after you win the argument." Shen Ping didn't give them a good look.

Seeing Shen Ping's unhappy expression, the two of them wisely shut up and lined up tacitly.

Seeing the internal injuries suffered by Liao and the other two, Huang Jinhua's sister-in-law Li was also laughing in her heart, but although she thought so in her heart, she did not show it on her face.

If they saw me and scolded me, I would be embarrassed, after all, I was against it at that time. Now that I have an advantage, I should keep a low profile, otherwise I will not get any advantage but get into trouble.

After this farce, no one shut up and said anything else. After all, today was New Year's Eve, and everyone wanted to take the money home early and do what they had to do.

New Year’s Eve is very busy. We have to post couplets and kill chickens to worship gods.

Soon, everyone was counting the money, smiling happily, and thanking Dachun Niang one after another.

"Everyone, count the money and see if it's correct! I will not be responsible once you leave, so don't argue with me later!" Shen Ping said loudly to everyone.

When everyone heard this, they counted carefully, fearing that one was missing. They counted two or three times, confirmed that everything was correct, and then left with a smile.

This year, the villagers of Kaoshan Village are happier than any other year.

Over the past year, everyone no longer has to worry about food and clothing, and the young people work in workshops and earn wages.

In addition to growing crops at home, the elderly also grow crops purchased from other workshops to earn an income.

The several workshops in Kaoshan Village not only made Shen Ping rich, but also allowed the villagers of Kaoshan Village to live a good life.

It not only boosted the economy of the village, but also benefited villagers in the surrounding areas.

Soon, it was the second day of the Chinese New Year, and it was time to visit relatives. Going back to my parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year was an unchanging rule.

Early in the morning, Shen Ping asked Hong Gu and the others to kill chickens and worship gods quickly, because the second day of the New Year is the beginning of the new year, and they have to kill chickens and worship gods, burn incense, candles, light firecrackers, and worship their ancestors, only then can it be considered a successful start of the new year.

There is a rule in Kaoshan Village that if a married woman returns home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, her parents' home must hold a New Year celebration before she can come back.

By the same token, a woman who marries out must also kill a chicken and worship the gods at her husband’s home before she can return to her parents’ home.

So who says that the New Year is a time to rest? In fact, the mistress of the house is more tired during the New Year than at other times. Just to kill chickens and worship the gods, she has to get up early.

Fortunately, there were servants at home, so Shen Ping didn't have to do the work of killing chickens. She just had to wait for them to kill the chickens, cook the pork and chickens, and then take them to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors.

Hong Gu naturally knew this, and got up early today, killed the chicken early, steamed it, and prepared candies and other dishes. After doing all this, she asked Shen Ping and her son to come over to pay homage.

It took most of the hour just to worship the dead. After the worship, Shen Ping asked the servants to sweep the floor. Only after sweeping the floor could the new year begin.

Because the couplets were posted on New Year's Eve, we couldn't sweep the floor. We had to wait until the second day of the New Year to sweep the floor. A lot of firecrackers were burned during the New Year, and there was a lot of firecracker paper on the floor.

It was already 9:00 p.m. when she finished all this. Looking at the sun rising higher and higher, Shen Ping stood at the door of her house and looked into the distance, but she didn't see Si Ya coming over yet.

She had made up her mind that she would wait for Si Ya to come back and then go back to her parents' home.

The New Year has passed. After arranging everything, she has to go to the capital and find a way to rescue Shenyang.

Erya is already pregnant, and the child cannot be without a father. There is no other way now, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer.

Erya doesn't know about this now. She is concentrating on keeping the baby safe. If she knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous.

She had had a miscarriage before, and the doctor said at that time that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant again. Now that she was finally pregnant, she must not make any mistakes again.

Shen Ping prepared the spicy hot pot base early in the morning because she knew Si Ya loved it and wanted to have another spicy hot pot today.

The last time they came back, Shi Saner took out a lot of hot pot base and said he wanted to research and develop the hot pot business. No one knows what happened to him later.

Shen Ping wanted to ask him when they came back, because she would be away from Heyang for a while.

It will take at least a few months. If they really want to do this business, I have to prepare these materials for them in advance.

The eldest daughter-in-law Wen and the third daughter-in-law Wu were also preparing to go back to their parents' home. Shen Ping had prepared things for them to go back to their parents' home last night.

Each daughter-in-law was given twenty taels of silver, in addition to more than ten or twenty red envelopes, as well as cloth, pork and chicken, and a few pounds of candy were bought from the mall.

In addition, Hong Gu also made rice dumplings, fried dough sticks, and other miscellaneous items that filled two baskets.
