So what if you flee from famine? Start all over again and live a good life every day

Today's banquet was not asked for help from the aunts in the village. Sui He booked it all at Tongren Restaurant. When he heard that Sui He's family was going to hold a housewarming party, Manager Li refused to take the money and just said that it was up to him and he would definitely arrange it for him.

When the feast started, almost all the villagers came. Everyone had something in their hands. But looking at the table full of fish and meat, the villagers felt a little embarrassed to take out the few eggs and copper coins in their hands.

"Why are you all standing here? Come in and sit down. The meal is about to start. Why are you still standing at the door?" As the host, grandma greeted the guests at the door.

"Aunt Li, your feast is too good. We..." Aunt Wang walked to grandma with a basket, looking embarrassed.

"What's the big deal? Just eat it without worry. These are sent by the restaurant that cooperates with our family. It doesn't cost any money. Just eat it without worry." Grandma knew what Aunt Wang was worried about. It was nothing more than a few eggs to eat such a good meal. They felt a little sorry.

"Really? These tables are free?" Aunt Wang exclaimed, and the other aunts who were watching looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Really? Just eat as much as you want. Don't be polite. Go and sit down."

"Then let's go." After hearing what grandma said, the aunts put aside their worries. After giving the things in their hands as gifts, they sat beside the table and looked at the table full of fish and meat in front of them: "Don't even mention this house, even the meal is the same." The aunts murmured below.

There was more to the men's feast. There was also a pot of wine on the table. Two fast horses came running from the village in the distance.

"We are not late, are we?" The two horses stopped at the door of Suihe's house, and one of them stood at the door waving a fan.

"Young Master?" Shopkeeper Li, who was sitting at the main table, came out to greet the newcomers. When he saw the grandfather of the two people at the door, Village Chief Zhao and several others also ran out in a hurry.

"I, a commoner, greet General Cui." Grandpa was about to kneel down, but Cui Yian grabbed his hand and lifted him up. After Grandpa stood firm, he spoke.

"Old man, there is no need to be so polite. We are just ordinary people visiting today. I hope we did not disturb you."

"Don't disturb us, don't disturb us, Mr. Cui, what are you talking about? You are the benefactor who saved our family. Come on, please come in." The grandfather understood Cui Yian's meaning and was no longer restrained. He respectfully invited Cui Yian and Qi Xiuyuan to the main seat.

"Young Master, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Li came forward and quietly asked his young master.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled but didn't really smile. He raised his folding fan to cover half of his face and leaned close to Shopkeeper Li's ear: "How dare you say that? You didn't even invite me to such a fun thing and just ran away by yourself."

“I didn’t think you were interested.”

"......Don't you know I'm going to get moldy staying here?"

"When will the young master return?"

“,,,,,,,,”

Go back? What are you going back for? Qi Xiuyuan put away his folding fan, looked at Li the shopkeeper expressionlessly, and sat down next to Cui Yian.

Shopkeeper Li realized belatedly that he was disliked by his young master, so he also went forward and sat down next to Qi Xiuyuan.

Because there were two great gods on the table, the others did not know their identities. Village Chief Zhao and Old Man Lin, who had gone to the government office that day, had seen them before. For a moment, the atmosphere at the table was filled with tension.

If the person at the main seat doesn't move his chopsticks, others won't dare to move either.

Cui Yian smiled and said to everyone: "Don't be shy. We are just ordinary guests today. There is no need to worry too much." After saying that, he took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and put a piece of food into his mouth.

Seeing this, the others also picked up their chopsticks and started eating. The last time they had such a good meal was at Chen's opening dinner.

Some people were talking about their recent income, some were discussing some trivial matters in the village. Those who liked to drink took advantage of this opportunity to have a few more sips of wine.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the atmosphere became more and more heated and everyone's emotions became more and more high.

The children were chasing and playing in the yard, laughing and talking happily. The whole yard was full of life and vitality.

After the meal, Manager Li stood up and said goodbye to everyone. As the restaurant's business was very good recently, he could not leave for a long time and had to go back to the restaurant to look after it.

After watching Manager Li leave, Grandpa turned around and called Sui He over, saying, "Sui Sui, come and see the guest off." Sui He replied, "Coming!"

Then he walked quickly to the door, keeping a certain distance from Cui Yian, and said softly: "Thank you Mr. Cui for saving me in the government office." Cui Yian smiled slightly, "You're welcome. The government office has already made a judgment on your false accusation."

Liu, the shopkeeper of HSBC Restaurant, was beaten with ten boards and fined a sum of money because he falsely accused Sui He. After such a big incident, the reputation of HSBC Restaurant became bad. Few people would go to HSBC Restaurant for dinner, and the dishes of HSBC Restaurant were not as many as those of Tongren Restaurant. Over time, the business became much weaker.

After the owner of HSBC Building learned about these things, he fired Manager Liu and Wang Quan and others.

Mr. Qian was not affected much, he was just fined some money. As for other punishments, he used money to offset them. The money was a drop in the bucket for Mr. Qian. As for compensation to Suihe, he didn't even have to think about it.

The world in this era is not like the modern world. It is good enough if the government can prove your innocence. How can they compensate you? Even if they fine you silver, the money will only be added to the national treasury.

Cui Yian seemed to remember something, and spoke to Sui He in a light tone with a hint of guilt: "I'm sorry, the treasury is tight now, so I agreed to Mr. Qian's request and used money to atone for the crime."

"It doesn't matter. I'm already satisfied as long as you can prove my innocence." Sui He nodded in understanding. As long as they can give him justice and prove his innocence, that's enough.

Cui Yi looked at the thirteen-year-old girl in front of him calmly. Because she had been recuperating at home recently, her originally pointed chin was now much rounder, and her cheeks were also a little plump.

Especially those bright big eyes, which were always curved with a smile, as if they could speak. At this moment, a girl in men's clothes was standing there looking at him. Cui Yian's mind moved and he spoke out his true feelings.

"You are too thin. Eat more and gain some weight."

???

Weren’t they just discussing Mr. Qian and the others’ affairs?

Why did the topic suddenly turn to him?
