A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Chapter 444 People Come to Congratulate

Xia Tian had just let Bai Wan and the others in when he ran into Mrs. Guo who had come uninvited.

"Mrs. Shen, congratulations. This small gift is my humble opinion. I hope you won't despise it!"

Mrs. Guo came forward shamelessly.

There were many people at the door at this time. Although Xia Tian didn't like Mrs. Guo, he couldn't just drive her out in public. The smile on her originally bright face suddenly became faint.

"A guest is a guest. Why are you disrespecting me? Please come in, Madam Guo!"

Xia Tian had Mrs. Guo brought in.

My fifth aunt, who was there to greet the guests, noticed something was wrong and asked quietly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this Mrs. Guo?"

Xia Tian shook his head and whispered, "We didn't invite her. The main reason is that I don't like this person."

Fifth aunt laughed. This girl was really honest. She said such words directly.

"If you don't like her, just ignore her. Just save face."

She is already the wife of the governor, so why should she be afraid of offending others?

"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded and said nothing more.

Shen Nian had never sent any invitation to the Guo family, but he didn't expect that someone would be so shameless as to contact him.

She remembered what Madam Cao and the others had said, that Miss Guo committed suicide on their wedding night because her stepmother did not tolerate her and married her to Lord Chen as a concubine. She felt unhappy about it.

A good legitimate daughter lost her life just because of her stepmother's intolerance.

So she felt annoyed when she saw Mrs. Guo.

I didn't expect that he was so shameless and came uninvited.

If it weren't for the fact that their Guo family donated money and supplies during the earthquake in Sangluo City, she would really have refused to give him face on the spot.

Soon most of the guests had arrived, and my aunt was getting ready to start the banquet when there was a commotion outside the house.

Xia Tian and Shen Nian hurried out to see.

Cui's uncle, aunt and others were worried and followed him out.

When I got outside the mansion, I saw many people gathered outside the gate.

Shen Nian thought something had happened, so he quickly squeezed to the front and asked loudly, "Fellow villagers, has anything happened?"

I hope these large groups of people are not here to cause trouble.

Lord Cao and the others also hurried out and stood behind Shen Nian, fearing that these people were here to cause trouble. They couldn't let them hurt the governor.

Lord Cao was preparing to give a lecture with a stern face when an old lady standing in the front, holding a basket in her hand, fell to her knees with a thud.

Shen Nian was stunned and was about to go forward to help the man up, but then "thump thump..." all the people knelt down.

Shen Nian's heart tightened. Could this really be a big deal? Otherwise, why would so many people gather at his doorstep and kneel before him?

"Fellow villagers, if you have anything to say, please speak politely. No need to kneel. You can tell me anything and I will definitely make the decision for you."

Shen Nian quickly reached out to help the old lady up, "Old lady, you guys get up first. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely make the decision for you."

The old lady looked at him, raised the basket with both hands and handed it to him, "Sir Shen, we are not here to seek justice today, we are here to congratulate you.

The villagers heard that Lord Shen had a baby boy and was holding a full-moon banquet today, so they all came over to congratulate Lord Shen in person.

After he finished speaking, the kneeling villagers shouted in unison, "Congratulations, Master Shen, on the birth of your son!"

The resounding voice stunned everyone present. They had never seen such a scene in their entire lives.

The old man of the Cui family and the eldest uncle of the Cui family were also shocked by this scene. They did not expect that Shen Nian would be so popular.

This shows that his grandson truly cares about the people, which is why there is such a spectacular scene.

Xia Tian was also deeply moved watching this. This was their motivation for doing things. When she had time, she would definitely draw this scene.

Lord Cao, Lord Li, and Lord Wang were standing behind Shen Nian at this time, looking at the common people kneeling on the ground. Now they seemed to have finally found some meaning of being an official.

The three men were all smiling at this time. Although they were not the ones the people were kneeling to, they felt that they had worked with the governor and should receive his thanks.

When Shen Nian heard that they were here to congratulate him, he felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face. "Thank you, fellow villagers. I accept your kindness. Everyone, get up quickly!"

As he spoke, he helped the old lady up.

Upon seeing this, Lord Cao and his men hurried forward and helped the fellow villager in front up.

The villagers were all up. While everyone was still talking, Xia Tian quickly asked Ningxiang and the others to go to the kitchen to boil eggs. The prepared banquet was definitely not enough for the villagers.

Now that everyone has come to congratulate us, we can’t let them go back empty-handed.

Boil all the eggs you have first. If there are not enough, ask Mu Feng and the others to run errands and buy some.

My aunt also noticed it, and quickly asked for a few large pots to be made available to boil the eggs first.

This will definitely let the folks who come to congratulate share in the joy!

Xia Tian and her aunt were busy cooking eggs for the villagers. There were at least a few hundred people outside at that time.

The old lady was carrying a basket half-full of eggs, and she insisted that Shen Nian accept it. "Sir Shen, this is a small gift from me, you must accept it. If it weren't for you, my grandson would definitely be gone now. You are my family's savior."

These villagers were all original residents of Sangluo City. The old lady leading the group was the one Shen Nian helped rescue her grandson first on the night of the earthquake.

Shen Nian refused to accept it. "Old man, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't accept the gift. It's not easy for the villagers. Take the gift back to your family! I am flattered that you can come and congratulate me today."

"Sir, just accept it. It's not a good thing, but it's a token of our fellow villagers' kindness."

"Yes, sir, this is nothing compared to the help you have given us. Please accept it."

"Please accept it, my lord!"

……

For a moment, the villagers insisted that Shen Nian accept the things.

Shen Nian was in a dilemma and turned to look at Cui's uncle.

Cui's uncle came over and said with a smile, "Since it's a kind gift from the villagers, then accept it. But since the villagers are here, why don't you go in and have a drink before leaving?"

Seeing that he had to take it in, Cui's uncle came over to help.

Fortunately, the gifts from the villagers were just some vegetables, eggs, etc., which were not expensive and it was okay to accept them.

When the old lady heard that Shen Nian was willing to accept their gifts, she was also happy and said, "Sir Shen, since we have already expressed our congratulations, we will not disturb you. There are too many of us, so we will not go in."

The villagers delivered their gifts and knew that the governor was hosting a banquet today and certainly did not prepare food for so many people, so they did not stay for long, put down the things in their hands and prepared to leave.

Mu Feng, Muchen and others quickly asked someone to bring out the basket of eggs and whispered it to Shen Nian, who understood.

"Fellow villagers, since you are here, although there is no wine or water to entertain you, please take a few red eggs back home to share in the good luck."

After Shen Nian bowed and said this, he asked Muchen and the others to take everyone to distribute red eggs to the villagers who came to congratulate them.
