Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

The next day was the Cold Food Festival, and the event was held in front of the village ancestral hall. Yao Qingnian prepared the braised food in advance so that he could bring it over the next day.

Due to Lu Mingchuan's inconvenient legs and feet, he could not go and had to stay at home. Liu Shuyue took Yinuo to participate in the Cold Food Festival, but Yao Qingnian had already gone there in advance.

Early in the morning, the entrance of the village ancestral hall was bustling with activity, and almost all the villagers had come.

Yao Qingnian was busy teaching everyone how to make Qingtuan. This was the first time everyone had seen such a fresh way of making it. In previous years, they had just made it into wild vegetable pancakes.

After the sacrificial ceremony, all of Yao Qingnian's qingtuan were ready. Since fire could not be lit on the day of the Cold Food Festival, the qingtuan were distributed to everyone to take home and steamed. After she explained the precautions for steaming to everyone, her task was completed.

The villagers gathered together, tasting the cold food prepared in advance, talking and laughing, feeling this most relaxing moment.

Next comes the most exciting moment of the Cold Food Festival - dividing the pork.

The village chief began to distribute the food according to the list of villagers, giving each person half a pound. All the villagers present could receive one, and Yao Qingnian's family received one and a half pounds.

After the meat was divided, the remaining pig head was enshrined in the ancestral hall, and the pig's feet were distributed to the oldest elderly person in the village and the person who picked the most wild vegetables yesterday.

There is no doubt that the ones who picked the most wild vegetables yesterday were Luo Erya, Lu Shuangshuang and Yao Qingnian, but they both agreed that if Yao Qingnian hadn't taken them there, they wouldn't have been able to pick so many wild vegetables and eat such delicious green rice dumplings.

After Yao Qingnian made the green rice dumplings yesterday, he sent a portion to the two of them in advance, so the two of them privately found the village chief's wife and asked her to save the pig's feet for Yao Qingnian.

"I declare that the last remaining pig's trotter shall be awarded to Yao Qingnian! She picked the most wild vegetables this year. The green dumplings in your hands were all picked and made by Yao Qingnian. You can see that compared with the wild vegetable pancakes of previous years, this green dumpling is more beautiful and delicious. Do you have any objection to giving this pig's trotter to her?"

They saw clearly the wild vegetables in Yao Qingnian’s backpack yesterday. They were the wild vegetables for making green rice dumplings today.

The basket was full, but they couldn't pick that much, so they gave the pig's trotter to Yao Qingnian, and no one had any objections.

"no!"

"Okay then, Yao Qingnian, come up and take the pig's feet back!"

Her highlight moment had arrived. Yao Qingnian stepped forward, holding up the pig's trotter, and smiled widely. She felt happier at this moment than when she received the bonus in her previous life.

"Thank you, village chief!"

"Congratulations, you won a pig's trotter!"

The Cold Food Festival ended successfully, and Luo Erya and Lu Shuangshuang also contributed to the braised pork trotters. Yao Qingnian decided to make braised pork trotters and invite them to her home for a meal. When she was about to take the big pig's trotters home, Ge heard from somewhere that her Shuangshuang had also picked a basket of wild vegetables yesterday, more than Yao Qingnian, and she became unhappy instantly.

"Village chief, I don't accept it."

When the village chief saw that it was Ge again, his face darkened. There was no peace and quiet these days.

"What are you dissatisfied with?!"

"My Shuangshuang also picked a basket of wild vegetables yesterday. It is said that she picked more than Yao Qingnian. Why should the pig's trotter be given to her alone?"

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How can I pick as many as my sister-in-law?"

Lu Shuangshuang's face turned red. She didn't know where her mother heard it from. She had already discussed it with Erya, but she didn't expect her mother to jump out at this time.

"You traitor, shut up!"

Ge didn't care about Lu Shuangshuang's face at all and scolded her in front of everyone.

"Ge! Don't make a fuss here! Everyone has seen the qingtuan that Qingnian made today."

There were villagers in the crowd who couldn't stand Ge's behavior. Yao Qingnian still called her "auntie", and it was amazing that even her own people were so fussy about it.

"The competition is about who picks the most wild vegetables, not who cooks better. I don't care. My family must have a share of the pig's trotters anyway!"

Mrs. Ge refused to give in, so Liu Jinhua stood up and said, "Mrs. Ge, who said Qingnian didn't have the most wild vegetables? Your daughter and Luo Erya both had no objection to the number I ordered. What are you making a fuss about?"

"Everyone knows that Liu Shuyue is your old sister. You might be using your power for personal gain!"

"I have always been fair and just. Whoever told you that your family picked the most wild vegetables, let her come out and we can confront each other face to face."

Liu Jinhua assisted the village chief in managing all the affairs of the village, and no one had ever said that she was unfair. Now that Ge said this, wasn't this a slap in her face?

"Lin Meili said so. If you don't believe me, ask her!"

It took Ge less than two minutes to confess to Lin Meili, who secretly cursed Ge for being stupid. She still held a grudge against Yao Qingnian for Zhang Xiaohu and selling her private parts, and she had thought of using this opportunity to instigate Ge to make a scene, but she didn't expect that she would end up getting herself in trouble.

"Ge, when did I ever tell you not to wrongly accuse anyone?"

Lin Meili didn't want to be implicated by Ge and denied that she had said such words.

"Just now you were the one who told me that you saw with your own eyes yesterday that Shuangshuang from my family carried more wild vegetables in her basket than Yao Qingnian did. You also said that the village chief was partial and gave all the pig's feet to her alone. You were speaking up for me."

"I didn't say that. Don't accuse me. You want the pig's feet yourself, why are you biting me?"

Mrs. Ge underestimated how shameless Lin Meili was. She refused to admit it and there was no evidence, so Mrs. Ge could only swallow her loss.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She had clearly said that! Otherwise, how could she have caused such a scene in public? Ge was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and have a good argument with the other party. However, Lin Meili ignored her. Ge was furious and grabbed her hair and then punched her hard.

Lin Meili's flesh was not for nothing. She pinned Ge to the ground and beat her violently.

The village chief quickly asked Lu Minghai and the villagers to pull them apart.

Ge wanted to go forward but was stopped by Lu Minghai.

Lu Minghai also had a headache. If this Ge didn't make trouble for a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over. He had already lost all his face.

"Have you had enough of fighting? You fought in the village ancestral hall with so many villagers watching. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Village Chief! She was the first to do it!"

In the end, Lin Meili gained the upper hand and Ge was beaten black and blue.

"Just shut up. You're always stirring up trouble! Don't think I don't know you were the one who instigated this!"

The village chief had already seen through it, but he just didn't expose it.

"It's unfair, I didn't..."

Lin Meili felt guilty and her words were obviously lacking in confidence.

"You two, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to reflect on your sins for three full hours!"

Three hours... This is the second time that Ge has knelt in the ancestral hall this month. Her knees are still painful from the last time.

The Cold Food Festival ended with a farce between the two.
