Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

Mr. Chen looked up at the sky. The brilliant fireworks made him so stunned that he couldn't close his mouth. He swallowed subconsciously.

He glanced sideways, furtively glancing at Xiuying standing beside him, a mixture of fear and relief welling up in his heart. He was afraid that if he had been her enemy before, he would never have known how many amazing tricks this woman had hidden. He was relieved that not only had he not become her enemy, but his children had become in-laws.

The daughters of Xiuying's family were already so attracted by the beautiful fireworks that they couldn't take their eyes off them. They clapped their hands excitedly, and the clear sounds echoed one after another:

"Mom, you're so beautiful!" Taohua's eyes sparkled with surprise and admiration.

"Mom is so awesome!" Pomegranate also cheered.

The fourth, sixth and seventh children understood this clearly, as their mother had specifically instructed them to look for the uses of white frost a few days ago.

The third child also understood that her mother had arranged for her to extract the purpose of the white crystals precipitated from the soil next to the toilet.

In the back mountain, Wang Dali and Wang Daya looked up at the brilliant fireworks in the sky, their eyes full of amazement and admiration.

In their hearts, in addition to deep admiration for Xiuying, there was also an indescribable shock.

Looking back, they had previously considered those useless black stones worthless. But who could have imagined that their master possessed such extraordinary abilities, relying on his extraordinary wisdom to magically transform these seemingly useless objects into dazzling fireworks that bloomed in the sky? This scene truly opened their eyes.

Xiuying cleared her throat gently, "Serve the food."

Everyone finally recovered from the shock of the fireworks. Dongmei and a group of servants approached the banquet hall. They steadily carried wooden trays, each carefully arranged with a variety of dishes.

On the Zhao side, Cuihua led the group to sit at the end of the table. Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan exchanged a secret glance, a sly glint in their eyes. Then, Zhao Cunliang quietly pulled a sack from his bosom, while Tian Guilan picked up a bowl of roast chicken and was about to pour it into the bag.

At this critical moment, Cuihua shouted, "What are you doing? Stop it! Don't embarrass yourself here! Eat as much as you can, don't do such useless things!"

Tian Guilan was so frightened that she quickly put the roast chicken back into the bowl, her face turning red and white. Zhao Cunliang also hurriedly put away the sack, his lips trembling as if he wanted to say something in defense, but when he met Cuihua's stern gaze, he dared not say a word and could only lower his head in shame.

Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the roast chicken and began to eat it eagerly. They were thinking that they would make Xiuying eat her fill in the meal and let her taste the consequences of offending them.

At the Zhao family's table, the two of them wolfed down the food like a whirlwind, and their eating habits were really ugly.

Dongmei stood on a slightly elevated spot in the courtyard, scanning the tables. When she saw the Zhao family's table at the back, she frowned slightly, then raised her voice and ordered methodically, "The last table's food is almost finished. Hurry and fill up. Madam specifically instructed that everyone must eat well and happily."

When the servants heard the order, they immediately took action, carrying steaming hot dishes and hurried to the Zhao family's table.

Zhao Cunliang, Tian Guilan, and their "big kids" looked at the almost empty table and touched their round bellies with satisfaction.

Zhao Cunliang burped, a hint of pride on his face, and said slowly, "Humph, Xiuying will definitely be heartbroken when she sees the way we eat."

Tian Guilan curled her lips and said, "Who told her to act so arrogant and pretentious? Today I'll teach her a lesson."

Dafu snorted disdainfully: "Humph, Second Aunt is usually so stingy, but today she prepared such delicious food and wine, who knows, she might be secretly wiping away tears behind her back."

Guangzong said in frustration, "It's a pity we can't take it away. Otherwise, we could take all the dishes on the table back home."

Yaozu looked at the remaining pork with preserved vegetables on the table, his throat moved unconsciously, and he swallowed his saliva. He was really too full, and if he took another bite, he would probably throw it up, but the tempting color of the pork made him linger.

"The food is served. Don't be polite, fellow villagers, and eat as much as you want!" The clear voices of the maids rang out in the yard.

With brisk, steady steps, they brought out plates of delicious dishes. First came the glistening, fragrant roast chicken, followed by the crispy, tender roast duck, and then the rich, yet not greasy, braised pork—the mere sight of it was enough to make one's mouth water. In addition, several exquisite side dishes were also laid out.

The Zhao family members stared at the table, which was once again full, with their eyes wide open. Their throats moved up and down involuntarily, and they swallowed hard.

But my stomach was already so full that I couldn’t eat anything else. I could only stare at these delicious dishes.

Zhao Cunliang looked at the table full of delicious food, his brows twisted into a knot, his face full of confusion, "What does this mean?"

Tian Guilan's face darkened as she shouted angrily, "Humph, this is clearly a sign of contempt for us!"

When Dafu heard this, he immediately became excited, waving his arms and saying indignantly: "Mom and Dad, no matter what you say today, you can't just accept it like this. You can't let this person down!"

Yaozu also echoed, his face flushed and he shouted, "Yes, we can't be looked down upon. Keep eating!"

Cuihua, who was standing aside, clasped her hands over her chest and looked at these people coldly. She took a deep breath, and her chest heaved violently, as if she was trying hard to suppress something.

Zhao Cunliang, without a word, reached out and picked up a shiny hoof, biting into it fiercely. Tian Guilan, not to be outdone, grabbed a roast chicken and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing this, the older children also stuffed their mouths with meat.

However, after just a moment, the faces of several people turned pale in an instant, their stomachs churned, and a strong feeling of nausea came over them.

"Ugh... ugh..."

Several people could no longer hold back and vomited out everything they had just eaten.

This scene instantly caused a burst of laughter from the people around, and made the Zhao family members blush instantly, wishing they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Hey, brother Cunliang, how many days have you been hungry? Look at the way you eat, it's like you haven't eaten in several lifetimes." A man with a shrill voice said sarcastically.
