The news that Xiao Zhong was sentenced to death and Zhang Er was crippled quickly spread in the village.

Many people scolded them and said they deserved it, and were too lazy to pay attention to the crying of the two families.

Wang Chunxue has no father or mother. Xiao Zhong was sentenced to death because of her. Xiao Erzhu's family hated her so much that they didn't even give her a funeral. Their body was just thrown in the county government office and buried hastily by the yamen runners.

Old Mrs. Ding pestered Wang Chenggong, believing that it was Wang Dahu who harmed Zhang Er, and demanded that the Wang family pay compensation.

Wang Dahu broke into Zhang Er's house, grabbed Zhang Er's neck and threatened Old Ding: "Your son is already useless anyway. Instead of lying in bed with a fate worse than death and having you serve him, why don't I help you kill him?"

Old Mrs. Ding was so scared that she cried and begged for mercy, promising that she would never cause trouble for the Wang family again. Only then did Wang Dahu give up.

Ye Tang didn't care much about these things. She and Xiao Jingxuan drove a carriage to Wenggang Village. Her close friend Zhao Sanxi was getting married today.

When Zhao Sanxi got married, families in the village came to help. Ye Peng, Ye Ping'an and Lin Chengye did not go to the county town, but were busy at Zhao's house.

The man Zhao Sanxi married was named Jin Liangcai. He lived in Lancao Village, which was a two-hour walk from Wenggang Village. It was a little far, but fortunately Jin Liangcai's family was well off. He had five acres of fertile land, three acres of dry land, and an orange orchard. He could earn a lot of money every year just by selling oranges.

Jin Liangcai's parents are still alive, and he has an older brother and sister. He is the youngest and the most favored. Like Zhao Dongsheng, he studied in the town academy. He was not gifted in studying and did not pass the examination to become a student even after he was over 18 years old.

"The groom is here!"

Ye Tang was speaking sweet words to Zhao Sanxi when he heard loud shouts coming from outside.

Ye Tang took a peek through the gap and said, "Sanxi, your husband is here!"

She took the veil and covered Zhao Sanxi with it.

Jin Liangcai came on a donkey cart, and there were more than twenty people coming to welcome the bride.

Zhao Sanxi was carried onto the donkey cart by Zhao Dongsheng.

Ye Tang walked out and saw Jin Liangcai's appearance clearly.

She frowned slightly and actually felt that Jin Liangcai looked at Zhao Sanxi with some disgust.

While Jin Liangcai was interacting with the people present, he would glance around. When he saw beautiful girls and women, his gaze would linger for a while.

Soon, he noticed Ye Tang standing in the crowd.

"That little lady is so beautiful. Who is she?" Jin Liangcai asked the young man beside him in a low voice.

The young man frowned and looked at Ye Tang, then shook his head: "No, I didn't see him the last time I came to Wenggang Village. I'll ask my mother to ask."

"Go quickly."

After picking up the bride, the wedding party left quickly, and Zhao Huaifu's family looked reluctant to see them go.

"Don't be reluctant. Your son-in-law is a handsome man and a scholar. Sanxi will definitely be happy if she marries him."

The villagers comforted Zhao Huaifu's family.

Ye Tang on the side frowned.

When she came out of Zhao's house, she asked Ye Ping'an, "Have you ever heard of Jin Liangcai before?"

Ye Ping'an used to be a very idle person. He would often hang out in other villages and was quite familiar with the surrounding villages.

Ye Pingan nodded: "I know him, sister, what's wrong?"

He had been to Lancao Village and of course knew Jin Liangcai. The Jin family was considered a wealthy family in Lancao Village, and it was said that they were related to the landlord Chen in the town.

Ye Peng and Xiao Jingxuan also looked at Ye Tang in confusion, not understanding why she asked this.

"What kind of person is Jin Liangcai?" Ye Tang asked again.

Ye Pingan thought for a moment and said, "People in his village say that he is filial and polite, and is very willing to help others. He helps everyone he sees and has a good relationship with others."

This is just like his sister before. His sister used to like helping others and would help whoever she met. Now she is much calmer than before and will not help others casually.

Ye Tang stroked his chin and thought: "Really? He's so nice? But I just noticed that the way he looked at other women was very strange. He even stared at me for a long time. That look was like a wolf seeing a rabbit."

Ye Ping'an was not a newbie. His father taught him everything, including matters between men and women. He also taught him how to make a woman happy during lovemaking. So, Ye Ping'an understood what Ye Tang meant instantly.

"That bastard dared to stare at you. He stared at another woman on your wedding day. What did he mean?" Ye Ping'an clapped his hands and said angrily, "This Jin Liangcai has a different character. He is pretending to be a good man."

Ye Peng narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Now that you put it that way, I suddenly feel that he is very pretentious."

Ye Tang sighed: "This is just my guess. I hope my guess is wrong."

Ye Pingan was a little worried: "Sister, after listening to what you said, I started to worry about Sister Sanxi. She is so innocent, she won't be bullied, right?"

Ye Tang: "She is simple, but not stupid. If she is really bullied, she will definitely not hold it in. Your village chief's family is not someone you can easily mess with."

Ye Pingan nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Ye Peng waved his hand: "Today is a day of great joy, let's be happy, think positively, and stop guessing. Come on, my son-in-law is almost asleep, let's go back and rest."

Seeing Xiao Jingxuan yawning wildly while walking beside Ye Tang, Ye Peng smiled unhappily. Ye Ping'an walked around behind Xiao Jingxuan and yelled into his ear.

"Brother-in-law, my sister left you and went back to Qingquan Village."

Jamel Xiao's whole body was shocked, his head was buzzing: "Madam, don't leave me, Madam, wait for me!"

He turned and ran towards the village entrance.

Ye Peng carried the man back and said, "Are you blind? Atang is standing right next to you, didn't you see it?"

Jamel Xiao woke up instantly and looked down at Ye Peng: "Dad, please let me down first."

Ye Peng held his waist and lifted him up high; he could hardly hold on any longer.

Ye Tang chuckled: "Dad, don't let him go, just carry him home and wake him up."

Ye Peng held Xiao Jingxuan in his arms and rushed home, howling.

"Ahhh!" Xiao Jingxuan screamed repeatedly, his voice trembling in the wind.

The next day, Ye Tang and his companion did not rush back. Instead, the couple took a stroll on the back hill and then returned to the vegetable garden in the courtyard.

The things planted by Ye Tang are growing well, and the cucumbers have entered the fruit-bearing stage.

Jamel Xiao looked at the cucumber with disdain: “You’ve been eating cucumbers for more than a month, and you’re not tired of them yet!”

Ye Tang smiled and said, "It's different. The cucumbers we usually eat are wild cucumbers, but this is a prickly cucumber, which is green and long."

Jamel Xiao asked: "How long is it?"

"This long." Ye Tang gestured with his hand.

Jamel Xiao was surprised: "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Is there any in our little vegetable garden?"

"Have."

"Our house is almost finished, and we can start making furniture. I want to give the job to Xiao Wenjia and Xiao Yongquan. They are good at carpentry. Although they have not received professional training, but..." Ye Tang suddenly talked about furniture.

Jamel Xiao shook his head: "They are not suitable. Instead of letting them waste wood, it is better to find a few good carpenters to build the furniture early and move into the new home early."

He rubbed his shoulders and said, "The bed at home is too hard. I want to change to a big bed, the best one."

Ye Tang looked at him suspiciously and said, "Let Xiao Wenjia and Xiao Yongquan do the furniture making. It will help them improve a lot. I will find a master to lead them to do it together."

In other words, it is equivalent to finding a master for Xiao Wenjia and the other two, and giving them work to do. As long as they pay attention, they will definitely have a bright future.

"What's there to improve? They are not my sons. Don't worry about them. We just need to take care of ourselves."

Jamel Xiao waved his hand, disagreeing with Ye Tang's decision.
