After putting up the beams, everyone prepared to eat. They were worried that everyone would get wet in the rain. Although the rain was not heavy, their clothes were half wet. However, as soon as the rain stopped, the sun came out and there was a slight breeze. In just a moment, everyone's clothes were dried.

Looking at the table full of dishes and the basket full of steamed buns on the side, everyone couldn't help but swallow a few more times.

More than ten people sat around a large round table that was barely big enough for everyone. The table was borrowed from the village.

A braised fish, a fried meatball, a stir-fried meat with mushrooms, a tofu meatball soup, a stir-fried vegetable dish and a steamed egg with minced meat.

Although there weren't many varieties, there were fish, meat and eggs, and Han Yiyi's portions were generous. A steamed egg with minced meat alone used fifteen eggs, which couldn't fit in a porcelain bowl, so two bowls were filled with each type of food, and a large table was completely filled.

Everyone looked at the dishes on the table and didn't know where to start for a moment. Finally, Zhuzi picked up the bamboo spoon, scooped a spoonful of steamed egg with minced meat and put it into his mouth. The next moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The bright yellow steamed egg was soft and smooth, and melted in the mouth. It was filled with the rich aroma of egg and meat, so Zhuzi couldn't help but scoop another spoonful into his mouth.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't hold back any longer and started eating. For a moment, the only sounds in the whole yard were the sounds of chewing and admiring.

In fact, when Han Yiyi cooks, she is willing to use oil, meat, and seasoning, and she also has a cheating tool, so it is hard to imagine that the food will not taste good...

Han Yiyi did not sit at the same table with the others. Firstly, there was no room for everyone else, and secondly, she was worried that everyone would not be able to eat freely if they sat at the same table with her.

So he prepared a table for himself and the two little ones. Seeing that it was getting late, he thought that the two aunts would definitely not come, so he didn't wait any longer and started eating directly. After all, he had gotten up early to work and forgot to eat breakfast, so he was already starving.

Han Yiyi and the others were eating enthusiastically, but at the Fan family, Mrs. Huang saw Mrs. Fan deliberately urinating on the bed again, and she became so angry that she felt dizzy.

A few days ago, Fan Ting was brought back by someone arranged by the village chief. He was shocked to see that not only was Old Lady Fan unable to get out of bed, her face was bruised and swollen, and even a clump of hair was missing.

Ye Cuihua stayed at the Ye family's house, saying that her room was damaged by lightning and it was not convenient for her to stay and take care of her pregnancy. She said that she would wait until Fan Ting repaired the house before coming back. Fan Ting thought of his own house that was damaged by lightning and his mother's single room that was like a pigsty, so he had no choice but to come back.

When Mrs. Fan saw her son coming back, she immediately burst into tears and told him all about how she was beaten by Mrs. Huang's family and bullied by Han Yiyi, exaggerating everything...

When Fan Ting heard his mother talking about being beaten by the Huang family, he just listened with a blank expression. But when he heard that she was bullied by Han Yiyi later, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of anger, and he turned around and walked out the door, heading towards the foot of the mountain.

But before they reached the foot of the mountain, they met Aunt Wang who was going up the mountain to pick mushrooms. When Aunt Wang saw Fan Ting, she subconsciously asked.

"Boy from the Fan family, is your mother okay?"

When Fan Ting heard Aunt Wang asking about his mother, he was stunned for a moment, then spoke.

"He can't get out of bed yet. He said he needs to rest for a few days..."

Fan Ting's tone was not good, so Aunt Wang thought he was worried about Old Lady Fan's health, so she spoke.

"It had just rained, and it was difficult to walk on the mountain. It was inevitable to fall and slip..."

Hearing what Aunt Wang said, Fan Ting frowned again. His mother told him that she fell on the mountain and it was Han Yiyi who pushed her on purpose. Not only that, he also deliberately lost her mushrooms. Now it sounded like Aunt Wang meant that she fell by herself, and it seemed that Aunt Wang also knew what happened that day, so he asked.

"Well, auntie, do you know what happened that day? Why did my mother faint?"

After hearing Fan Ting's words, Aunt Wang suddenly felt a little guilty. After all, she did not help when the person fainted on the mountain that day.

However, when she thought about the family she helped, she heard that Old Lady Fan was unwilling to pay back the money she had spent on hiring a doctor, saying that it was their honor to hire a doctor for the scholar's family.

Thinking of this, the unnatural look on Aunt Wang's face disappeared, and she spoke.

"What else could have happened? He just slipped and fell accidentally..." After saying that, Aunt Wang suddenly realized something, looked at Fan Ting with disapproval and continued.

"Hey, boy Fan, you are a scholar now. You'd better persuade your mother to deal with some of the unreasonable and unreasonable things she does. This way, it won't affect your reputation in the future..."

Seeing that the person in front of her was still a little ambiguous, Aunt Wang spoke directly.

"Just like that day, it was clearly your mother who fell down, but you falsely accused Han girl of pushing her and also wrongly accused her of stealing her mushrooms. After all, Han girl is no longer a member of the Fan family. If this matter were to spread out, people would only say that your Fan family bullied an orphan and a widow, which would not be good for your reputation..."

After these words were spoken, Fan Ting, who was already frowning, looked so tight that he could pinch a fly to death between his brows. After pondering for a moment, he spoke to Aunt Wang.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Aunt Wang..." After saying that, he turned in another direction and walked towards Mrs. Huang's house.

In fact, Fan Ting didn't care at all whether his mother bullied Han Yiyi and the others. It should be said that in his opinion, it was normal for Han Yiyi to be bullied. A useless person like Han Yiyi should be treated with respect and obey their orders.

This is also the reason why, when he heard Mrs. Fan say that Han Yiyi bullied her, he immediately went to find Han Yiyi to settle the score.

But the reason why he didn't turn around now was not because he realized his mistake, but because he was worried that if he went there, others would spread the news that the Fan family bullied Han Yiyi and her widowed mother, which would affect his reputation.

As for Han Yiyi, she is just a peasant woman. When I pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, even if I want to crush her to death, it will be like crushing an ant.

Looking at Fan Ting who turned away with a sullen look on his face, Aunt Wang shook her head slightly and thought to herself, if such a person becomes an official in the future, will ordinary people like them still have a way to survive?

When the Huang family saw Fan Ting coming, they felt a little uneasy. After all, the person in front of them was the only scholar in the entire village. If he really became a high-ranking official in the future, it would be like a piece of cake for him to deal with ordinary people like them.

In fact, when they beat Mrs. Fan, they were just in a hurry and felt a little regretful afterwards.
