Old Mrs. Cui stood in the middle, nodding her head continuously. There were still many people with discerning eyes, and she really expressed what was in her heart.

Feng was almost furious. She had so much to say but couldn't say it, and she rushed around in anger.

"You all bully me, I won't live anymore!"

His head shot up and he crashed into the crowd.

"Ouch!"

"Mom! Get out of the way!"

Cui Laoer was stunned for a moment, and it was too late when he reached out to pull the person away.

With Feng's physique, if she were to get stuck in the crowd, even two ox carts in the village wouldn't be able to make it to the hospital to take the patient home.

The area is closed.

Old Mrs. Cui stood in the middle, with nowhere to hide.

"Wang!"

"Ouch——"

Two gray shadows rushed out quickly. The big gray one bit Feng's trouser leg, and the small gray one bit her ankle without hesitation.

"Ouch! Who bit my foot?"

Mrs. Feng felt pain in her foot and suddenly lost her balance. She staggered and tried to grab onto Old Lady Cui to steady herself.

Old Mrs. Cui dodged nimbly.

Fortunately, Cui Laoer supported her from behind, so Feng did not fall to the ground.

"Where did this dead dog come from? Ouch, it bit me so badly, pay me!"

Lin was quick to act and grabbed Dahui and Xiaohui by the scruff of their necks, hiding them behind her. Silang, Wulang and other children stood silently in a row, covering themselves tightly.

A woman spat, "Why didn't the dog bite us? It deserved it if it bit you."

Feng covered her ankles and cried loudly.

"Lose meat, gain meat. This dog took some of my meat. I have to compensate you with one pound...two pounds of meat!"

Everyone looked at her with contempt. As expected, she wouldn't be herself if she didn't blackmail people.

Old Mrs. Cui rolled her eyes to the sky.

"Dream on! If you keep howling, I'll let the dog bite you."

Feng was so frightened that she shuddered and stopped howling, but she just sat on the ground and refused to get up no matter what.

Everything went smoothly from the moment the Liang sacrifice began. Hundreds of people from the entire village came to the banquet, and none of them had a single argument; everyone was in a good mood.

Every family has a plan to build a house or get married. People are happy to attend the banquet on such days, for fear of bringing bad luck to the host family.

Lin's face also looked a little grim. She took a deep breath, forced a smile and said to the villagers: "Thank you all for coming today. Please bear with me if I can't take good care of you..."

"No, no, we should thank Jingwen's mother. The dumplings are so delicious, they are so fragrant and greasy."

"Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do in the afternoon. I have to go back quickly."

"I'm still a little sleepy after eating. Mother Jingwen, you guys are busy. I'm leaving first."

"We're going home too..."

Yuri was winking frantically at the side, and the villagers were racking their brains to find an excuse to leave.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves rang out.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a carriage parked in front of the new house.

The curtain of the car was slowly lifted, and after seeing the person inside, the headman hurried forward to greet him.

"Master Pei, are you here for the feast?"

Master Pei got off the carriage with a smile and asked the driver to take the gifts down.

"I, Pei, am here to present a gift to the county magistrate. I wish Madam Lin a happy occasion and may the family prosper."

The crowd gasped. The county magistrate actually gave Jing Wenniang a gift?!

When the four gifts were unloaded from the carriage, the headman was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, even happier than if he had received the gifts himself.

"Hurry, Jingwen's mother, come here quickly."

Lin straightened her clothes, glanced down at the stunned Feng, and slowly walked to the front.

The gift sent by the county magistrate was not particularly valuable, but it was still very rare for the villagers.

A complete set of four treasures of the study, a piece of silk cloth, a box of snacks and a jar of wine.

"Congratulations, the house is finally finished. The county magistrate asked me to come over early this morning because he had some work to do at the yamen and didn't finish until noon."

Why do I feel that Master Pei has an indescribable expectation for his own house?

Lin was a little puzzled, but she still smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, County Magistrate, for taking the time to think of me and my family. When the house is finished, I will ask Jingwen to personally invite you to dinner at my home."
