Seeing that the crowd had not come yet, they quickly fetched some water and washed their hands and faces. They carefully checked their outer clothes to make sure there were no blood stains. Only then did they feel relieved.

Just after we finished, we saw Da Niu and Er Niu approaching us from a distance. Brother He and the people who were doing the work arrived one after another.

Su Chen and I tacitly agreed not to mention the seventh day of the New Year. We both took the tribute fruits, firecrackers and the three animals for sacrifice off the carriage.

Da Niu and Er Niu had already come to the side. They took the tribute fruit and firecrackers and placed them on the table, and helped to place the three animals, the bowls and chopsticks, and the wine. After doing all this, they stepped aside and stood still.

Brother He chanted something again, just like last time. He was so solemn and serious that even I felt the atmosphere was a little more solemn. No one spoke, and everyone waited for the ceremony to be completed.

After the sacrifice, the gate was quickly erected with the help of several masters. It was fixed with long wooden strips on the front, back, left and right sides. Four masters, two on each side, started laying bricks from the door and window positions. Both sides were about one meter high and two meters long. After the masters said a lot of good things, the ceremony was completed.

Amid everyone's smiling congratulations, I took out all the wedding candies and fruits and invited everyone to come and eat.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, I thought that once the house was repaired, I would go to the mountains to find treasures. It would be great to put them in my yard, and I wouldn't have to be sneaky like before. If I found something good in the mountains, it would be unsafe to hide it anywhere, for fear that it would be stolen.

Everyone was eating and laughing, and suddenly a scream was heard amid the bustle and noise: "Ah, damn it, you have no conscience. You live in a big house but you are unwilling to help your parents repair it. Such a heartless person should be struck by lightning. Everyone is here to see such a heartless person. You are still helping her with things. Be careful that no one will take care of you when you are old."

The sharp voice made all the people who were happily talking and laughing and eating stop at once.

I turned around and saw a person whom I hated to the extreme, Hu.

He was sitting on the ground in front of the gate, slapping his legs, with his hair disheveled, and cursing incessantly.

Thinking back to the last time I fell into the water, I hadn't found the time or opportunity to deal with it, and I've been holding it in until now, and I haven't gotten over it yet, and now it's causing trouble again. A surge of anger rose from my heart to my forehead.

I strode forward, wanting to kick her a few times without caring about anything. Xiu'er and the village head's aunt, who came to congratulate me, saw me and quickly grabbed me on either side.

Xiuer leaned over to my ear and whispered, "Don't make a fuss. He has a long name after all. Even if you are right, he will just say you are wrong. Just bear with it."

But I really can't bear it. The memories of Yun Yiyi being tortured by her still remain in the memory of this body. The despair, the anger, the helplessness. Did they come out from the bottom of my heart again at this moment?

The village chief and Xiu'er pressed me down tightly. The village chief whispered, "Don't go. I'll go and talk to him for you. He and I are of the same generation. No one dares to say anything about me."

I let out a deep breath, nodded, and stopped.

The village head let go of my hand and walked over to Hu Dai. "Sister Hu, what are you trying to do? Can't you just be quiet? Everyone is having a good time here, why are you making trouble? You broke off your engagement, and everyone in the village knows about it."

Mrs. Hu: "So what if we're no longer related? Everyone in the village still knows that I'm their dearest grandmother. Can we sever the relationship or the blood relationship? If you ignore me today, I'll die here. Let's see who will blame whom then. Also, whoever dares to work for her today will be the one I'll blame when I die."

This sentence is too destructive.

Many people who were working stopped when they heard this. Several people started to say, "We are all blood relatives. We can build such a big house. We don't need to worry about trivial matters. It's our duty to be filial to the elders."

Xiu'er was very angry: "What do you know? Do you know how Dalang's wife lived at that time? You know, if Dalang's wife had not severed the engagement, her child would have been sold, and the one who was going to sell the child was this so-called biological nurse."

Mrs. Hu quickly got up from the ground and scolded Xiu'er: "You took advantage of her and made money, so you speak for this little whore. Whose daughter-in-law didn't come from this background? Didn't the child sell himself? He is still studying well. If he doesn't recognize his own grandmother, I'll see if he can still have a good reputation in his studies."

Some of the people who were doing the work had already begun to advise me: "Daughter-in-law Dalang, don't be so fussy. We are all family, so you should just bring the child's grandparents over."

Mrs. Hu: "Yes, repair the house, let us move in and change the title deed to mine. We are the elders, and I will definitely be the head of the family, so I won't make a fuss. Otherwise, whoever starts the work today, I will kill myself in front of him. Let's see who dares to do it."

Xiu'er was shaking with anger: "Don't be so unreasonable. God is watching what people do. We all know who the person with a black conscience is."

The headwoman reached out to grab Hu, but Hu fell to the ground, crying and cursing.

The village head pointed at Mrs. Hu angrily and said, "Do you still have any shame? You are old and you are still throwing tantrums. I have known you for decades and I have never seen you do anything decent. You know you are related to them by blood, so why are you still making such a fuss? Can't I see what you are up to? You just want to occupy someone else's house for free, don't you think I can't see it?"

Mrs. Hu: "Don't meddle in my family's affairs. You all just took advantage of him, so you are speaking for him."

……

The scene was becoming more and more chaotic. Several people who were working had already started to put their things down and take a rest.

The village head and clan leader also came, but this time Hu was determined. She said that if anyone dared to expel her from the clan, she would go to Xiuwen's school and make trouble, so that Xiuwen would not be able to study.

The clan leader and the village chief looked at me, at a loss as to what to do.

A smug smile appeared in Hu's eyes, and he rushed towards me again with his fangs and claws bared.

I felt a headache, thinking about how to solve the problem. Just when I hadn't figured out what to do to solve the problem, Hu suddenly stood there motionless in a very strange posture.

He still had that smug and weird smile on his face, his hands stretched forward, trying to grab me. His body leaned forward. Except for his eyes, the rest of his body seemed frozen.

I was a little surprised and puzzled as I watched Hu strike this strange posture. What was he trying to do?

I looked around and saw Chuqi, who had woken up at some point, standing not far away, leaning against a log and turning two small stones in his hands. He looked at me, lowered his eyes, and ignored me.

I looked back at Hu, and she was still in the same position for a while. The head of the village looked at her and said, "Hu, what's wrong with you? What are you doing in this position?"

Mrs. Hu still didn't say anything, but her eyes rolled around, from the initial arrogance to a hint of pleading and fear now.

Someone in the crowd said, "It looks like he's been possessed by evil spirits."

This is going too far, and God can't stand it anymore?

The discussion became louder and louder, and the fear in Hu's eyes grew deeper and deeper.

The clan leader saw that Hu had been silent and unmoving, and thought that this was not a solution, so he stepped forward and asked, "Do you know that you are wrong now? If you do, just blink your eyes."

Mrs. Hu blinked rapidly.

The clan leader called a few people and asked them to carry Hu back. This farce was over.

When everyone saw Hu leave, they started doing what they had been doing before.

It seems that things have returned to normal, but I don’t plan to call back those people who started to leave to do any work.

I called Dazhu and He Dage over and told them clearly that those who had left during the Hu family's riot should be paid their wages and not come back.

They may not have done anything wrong, but they inadvertently became accomplices in helping others to persecute me. I cannot blame others, but I have the right to choose to stay away.
