"Squeak-"

The Cai family's courtyard door slowly opened again, and the two sides looked at each other, both stunned.

Old Mrs. Cai felt that the woman in front of her looked very familiar. Gradually, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes faded away, and the white hair on her temples turned black, and she looked like the round-faced and kind bride in her memory.

"Are you Qiuyue?" Old Mrs. Cai finally recognized the other person.

"Aunt? Are you the eldest aunt?" Zhao also recognized Cai Guihua.

When Zhao married into the Cai family, Mrs. Cai was not too old, and the two families occasionally visited each other during the holidays.

Zhao quickly and happily invited the person in, "My child's father, come out quickly, look who's here? Go and invite my father-in-law out. Just now when I was closing the door, I heard a magpie calling from the old locust tree. This is in line with the occasion."

The villagers who had not yet dispersed from the door gathered around again.

"It's really lively at the Cai family today," said a woman.

The other woman nodded: "These people look like they are visiting relatives. Didn't someone just say that the Cai family has no relatives? Look, they are slapped in the face in the blink of an eye."

"Look how nicely they are dressed. The clothes are shining in the sun and are so slippery. They must be satin."

"When did the Cai family have such a wealthy relative?" The woman pointed at Old Lady Cai's head with envy, "The old lady is wearing a golden hairpin."

The sharp-eyed woman said, "Didn't you see that when she raised her hand to hit the child just now, she had a pair of thick gold bracelets on her hand."

As she spoke, the woman gestured exaggeratedly.

"Good fellow, he is willing to sacrifice a few acres of good farmland for himself. Incredible! Incredible!"

A man stared at the load that Old Man Li was carrying and said, "Guess what that old man is carrying? The pole is bent."

The man with good eyesight said, "Does the exposed part look like meat?"

"It's incredible. How much money did such a big piece of meat cost? It's really generous."

No matter how the villagers murmured, the door of the Cai family was closed and all speculations became curiosity.

Closing the door and living your own life is nothing but an extremely beautiful fantasy.

Humans are social animals and can never avoid collisions with each other.

Cai Chengping supported Mr. Cai and stood not far from Mrs. Cai. Mr. Cai was so excited that he felt like he was dreaming. He could hardly believe his eyes.

"Sister!"

The word "sister" seemed to bring him back to his childhood, when his parents were still alive and all household affairs were supported by the elders.

He always follows behind his sister, and no matter what happens, his sister will protect him.

When he woke up hungry in the middle of the night, his sister would light an oil lamp and cook him noodles, always with a chicken secretly inside.

He wet the bed and was afraid that his parents would beat him, so his sister washed it for him in the dark of the night. When everyone in the family went to work in the fields, she would secretly dry it by the stove while they were cooking.

If he was bullied by kids from the same village, his sister would fight back like crazy. No matter whether she won or lost, she would beat the kids until they dared not bully him anymore.

……

Memory is alive. Seeing things reminds us of people, and seeing old friends will bring back memories.

"Brother! You really are my brother!"

The blood-related relationship is the most wonderful thing in the world. Old Mrs. Cai looked at the white hair on A-di's temples with heartache and stroked his wrinkled hands.

"How have you been these years?"

Old Mrs. Cai had already seen the bright big tiled house and the blue brick floor, and guessed that he was living a good life. His father and mother were both strong-willed people, and his brother was capable, so his life would not be bad. But she still couldn't help asking with concern.

"Good! Everything is good! How is your sister doing? Is your brother-in-law taking care of you?"

Old Lady Cai pulled Old Man Li over and said, "This is your brother-in-law. You have met him. He doesn't have any special abilities, but he is very good to me."

Old man Li waved his hands nervously and said, "If your sister marries me, she will be my family member. If I don't treat her well, who else can I treat well?"

Mr. Cai bowed to Mr. Li and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you for taking care of my sister. I didn't have time to drink at your wedding and didn't pay my respects to you that year, so I made up for it today."

Mr. Cai moved slowly and stiffly. Old Man Li saw that he was unwell and hurried to support him.

Old Mrs. Cai also noticed something was wrong and asked anxiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Cai sighed and said, "Come on, sister, brother-in-law, let's go inside and talk."

After entering the main room, Zhao hurried to boil water.

Mr. Cai recounted the recent events of his family in a circumstantial manner.

Even though he deliberately downplayed it, Old Mrs. Cai could still guess from his words: The Sun family is bullying the Cai family because they have no one, and they are trying to shit on the Cai family's heads.

Li Laosan, who was sitting at the bottom, clenched his fists angrily and whispered, "The Sun family is a bunch of ungrateful wolves. I'll find a chance to teach them a lesson."

Li Meir advised, "Don't make trouble. If you really confront the Sun family, you will definitely suffer. Didn't you hear what my aunt said? His family has seven or eight strong laborers. My father and second uncle are not here. With only the few of us, we can't beat them at all."

Li Yuer agreed and said, "Sister Mei'er is right. Impulsiveness is a powerful evil. Some things can only be solved with wisdom, not with force. Fighting with force is the worst option."

"What new ideas do you have?" Li Laosan stared at Li Yuer and asked.

Li Yuer spread his hands and said, "Not now, but knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle. Let's first find out about the Sun family's situation, and then prescribe the right medicine to ensure that the medicine will kill the insects."

After saying this, Li Yuer deliberately showed a sinister smile on his face.

"You are the one with so many clever ideas. I think you are just a sesame-filled glutinous rice dumpling." Li Meir scratched Li Yuer's nose.

Li Laosan asked: "Why are they sesame-filled dumplings?"

Li Yuer said with disdain: "Stupid, sesame-filled dumplings, you are so evil!"

Li Laosan was not willing to admit that he was stupid, and retorted: "Who said that glutinous rice balls must be filled with sesame?"

This successfully earned him the cold stares from Li Meir and Li Yuer.

Zhao placed the hot water on the table in front of them, paused, and said, "Have we met somewhere before?"

Li Yuer called out openly, "Hello, auntie. Isn't our friend the one who rented your yard?"

"Ah! It's you two. Look at how discerning your aunt is. She recognized you from a few days ago right away... Oh! The flood really washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other anymore."

A few days ago, shortly after the Cai family encountered trouble, Zhao was preoccupied with things and was in a daze.

In addition, Li Laosan and Li Yuer deliberately dressed up that day in order to attract Young Master Jing. Today, they changed into a set of bright clothes, so they naturally looked very different.

Li Laosan also followed suit and said, "Hello, cousin."

While the adults were reminiscing about the past, Li Laosan sneaked into the east wing under the pretext of going to the toilet.

The main room of the east wing was littered with wicker boxes. Li Laosan somehow found a place to step and squeezed into the bedroom.

When Datou and Jiaqueer saw Li Laosan, they quickly stopped what they were doing.

"Third brother, it's really you. We thought it was you when we looked at you from the window just now, but we didn't dare to recognize you. You look really good in this suit, just like, like a young master of a wealthy family in this town." Jia Que'er was as sweet-mouthed as ever.

Big Head nodded and said, "Our third brother is much more handsome than those fat guys."

Li Laosan did not feel embarrassed by the praise from the two people. Instead, he walked around the room.

"That's right, what do you call this, Master? I was born this way."

Big Head corrected: "It's natural beauty."

"Yes, yes, it's what they say in the opera." The sparrow imitated the opera singer and sang in a strained voice: "Born beautiful, it's hard to give up, it's hard to - give up -"
