Three Women in the Cage

In order to settle matters for the eldest brother before Yang Yu gave birth, so that there would be someone to help out during the birthing period.

After discussing with his eldest brother, Yang's father set the date for two days later.

Yang's mother went to the village and invited some familiar people with whom she had frequent contact, and briefly told them about the dinner.

Out of respect for the village chief Yang's father, the neighbors did not dare to make any jokes. They just said that it was a good thing and that they would enjoy a happy life once the eldest daughter-in-law came home.

Mother Yang smiled bitterly.

She knew that these people might be laughing at her in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the dinner arrived. In order to prevent others from finding out that Yang Yu came back pregnant, her mother asked Yang Yu to hide in the house early in the morning and not come out.

She also told Huanhuan and Yaya not to knock on Mom's bedroom door or go in to disturb her that day. If anyone asked about Mom, she would say she didn't know and must not let anything slip.

Otherwise, Mom wouldn't be able to take them home.

Hearing this, Huanhuan nodded in agreement very seriously.

Although there were no loud gongs and drums or firecrackers outside, it was still a lively scene.

The eldest brother and Yang's father were outside greeting guests, while the woman and Yang's mother were cooking various dishes in the kitchen.

"Village Chief Yang, you are so lucky to finally marry a wife! You and your sister-in-law can enjoy your life in the future!" An old man came up and shook hands with Yang's father and said.

Father Yang smiled and shook the old man's hand. "Brother Liu, please stop teasing me. Your grandson is running around the streets, and my disappointing son just got married!"

"As for whether or not I can enjoy happiness, I don't dare to expect too much. I just hope that my children and grandchildren can have smooth sailing and that my family can live in harmony and happiness!"

"That's right, that's right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We, as parents, can only hope that they are well!"

As a few more guests arrived, Yang's father had no choice but to go and greet them, so he could only apologize and let the old man go in and sit down first.

A few people came over from behind, laughing and joking, and teased Yang's father, "Village Chief Yang, your family has such a big happy event today, why don't you have a big banquet with loud gongs and drums and firecrackers? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Another person also agreed with a smile, "Exactly. After all, it's the eldest son's wedding, so it has to be grand, right? Remember when Sister Yu got married, it was also a grand ceremony, but why is it so simple now that it's the eldest son's turn?"

Father Yang knew that these people loved to joke and make fun of others, so he was not angry. Although they had some bad personalities, their character was not bad.

Just then, Yang Yi came over and politely greeted them, "Come in, there are some refreshments inside. Come in and sit down and talk."

"Today's groom? You're welcome, you're welcome. Congratulations!" Several people congratulated him with a smile, and then walked in tactfully.

Yang Yi followed him in, handed cigarettes to the men one by one, and then asked them to sit down and have tea.

Mother Yang came out of the kitchen at the right time and added some melon seeds and candies to the table. "Everyone, please feel free to eat some melon seeds and candies. Dinner will be served in a moment!"

"Sister-in-law of the village chief? Come out and chat with me. Isn't your eldest daughter-in-law in the kitchen? Now that you have a wife, can't you take a break?" A village woman pulled Yang's mother and forced her to sit down and chat properly.

Mother Yang said with some embarrassment, "I really can't spare the time right now. Sorry, the kitchen is busy. I can't scare my daughter-in-law away before she even walks in. Please understand!"

After saying that, he stopped arguing with them and went into the kitchen to help.

How could she not know that these people wanted to find out about her? The people in the village all liked to gossip, even though her daughter-in-law was indeed not a girl waiting to be married.

But she also didn't want to say too much and become the subject of other people's after-dinner gossip.

Although they will find out sooner or later, at least they will do it behind my back.

Returning to the kitchen, looking at the woman working hard without complaint, he realized that after today, she would officially become his eldest daughter-in-law.

Since we are going to be a family, I will naturally treat her well and no longer have any prejudice.

"Tian Yun, take a break. You look sweaty and you feel full again. Go to the inner room and rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest!" Mother Yang said, looking at her with concern.

Tian Yun was touched when she saw that Yang's mother cared about her sincerely. It had been a long time since anyone cared about her.

She has become accustomed to the hardships of life, and even more accustomed to hard work without complaint, and has long forgotten the feeling of being cared for.

Looking at the person who is about to become her mother-in-law, she was moved for a moment. Not only did she not despise her for being pregnant with someone else's child, but she was also worried about her body.

Even when her ex-mother-in-law was pregnant with their child, she never expressed any concern for her.

But the mother-in-law in front of me now can accept me and my children generously.

Once again I feel very lucky. How fortunate I am to have met this family who truly accepted me!

She was so excited that her voice trembled slightly. "Mom...thank you...thank you!"

The inexplicable words made Yang's mother smile. "What's there to thank me for? Since we are almost a family, why are we still saying those polite words?"

Tian Yun didn't really want to rest. She was really used to it and wasn't tired. Especially on such an important day as today, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on others.

"Mom, I can do it. I don't need to rest, and I like doing this."

Seeing her like this, Yang's mother didn't know what to say.

The two of them were happily busy in the kitchen, occasionally saying a few words of concern to each other, and their relationship gradually became closer.

Yang Yi looked at the harmonious appearance of the woman and his mother in the kitchen, smiled, and walked forward. "Today's dishes are so rich, thank you for your hard work!"

Yang's mother smiled and joked, "Look how happy I am for you! Get ready, dinner will be served soon!"

Yang Yi helped Tian Yun wipe the sweat off her face and said gently, "Don't be too tired, pay attention to the child!"

After that, he said to Yang's mother, "I'll go out and greet them. Mom, don't let Yun get too tired. She's still pregnant."

Mother Yang smiled and said, "I don't know yet, do I need you to remind me?"

It was already bustling outside. Although it was not as lively as a banquet, it was almost as lively.

Yang Yi briefly spoke to his father, who nodded. He walked to the center of the main hall, smiled, and said loudly, "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my eldest son's wedding. Due to some special reasons, we can't have a big celebration. We'll just treat all the neighbors to a simple meal. I hope you don't mind. It can be considered a testimony to my eldest son's wedding!"

"Dinner will be served soon. I hope everyone enjoys eating and having fun!"

After saying that, everyone said "OK" and clapped their hands, congratulating him while clapping.

For a moment, the whole place was filled with cheers and congratulations, it was so lively.

After a while, Yang's mother and Tian Yun brought the dishes to the table. While serving the dishes, they asked everyone to sit down and prepare to eat.

After seeing the dishes being served, everyone started scrambling to take seats, and soon three or five tables were full of people.

Yang's father and Yang Yi also helped to serve the dishes, add rice, pour wine, and were very busy.

The people sitting there looked at Tian Yun's slightly bigger belly with wide eyes of curiosity, but they didn't dare to ask any detailed questions.

For a moment, there was a lot of noise and activity, with some people whispering to each other, some chatting about various things, and some people couldn't wait to eat when the food was served.
