Lu Zhendong didn't do what he was thinking. When he heard someone greeting him, he turned his head politely to look at that person.

He replied, “Coming.”

"Here I come, hehe..." The man looked at Lu Zhendong and laughed strangely.

The other people around them also looked at Lu Zhendong and his wife with strange expressions.

This made both of them feel a little uncomfortable.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?" Hou Xiaoyun responded coldly, looking at the abnormal looks of the people around her.

hehe...

No one paid any attention to Hou Xiaoyun, only a few people were still smiling.

Ever since the couple forced the eldest son away, the villagers regarded the Lu family as a negative example, and very few people interacted with them anymore.

Even some of the families that were familiar to the Lu family in the past basically no longer have any contact with them.

Today was unusual, someone actually spoke to them.

Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun walked into the yard.

Chen Jinshan was busy entertaining guests. Today was his family's business and there was a buffet. Chen Jinshan looked very proud and the smile on his face was genuine.

"Oh, Brother Lu is here. Please come in...please come in." Seeing Lu Zhendong, Chen Jinshan changed his usual cold attitude and suddenly became enthusiastic, inviting Lu Zhendong and his wife to come in.

"Come and smoke...and eat candy."

Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun had come here to enjoy the feast like everyone else in the village.

However, they did not expect that Chen Jinshan would be so enthusiastic towards them.

"Congratulations." Lu Zhendong bowed and congratulated Chen Jinshan.

"Thank you... Come, Brother Lao Lu, please take a seat at this table."

Chen Jinshan led Lu Zhendong to the main table.

According to the customs of the village, when the host family holds a banquet, the people who can sit at the main table are either some respected elders in the village, or noble people of status, or at the very least, relatives living there.

Therefore, even the guests who came to the banquet would tacitly not sit at the main table.

Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun never thought that Chen Jinshan would let them sit at the main table.

This made Lu Zhendong feel a little flattered, and he waved his hands hurriedly: "No... No, it's not okay. How can we sit at the head table when your family is having a party? We don't deserve it... We don't deserve it."

In fact, Chen Jinshan’s idea is very simple.

Since their family received such a valuable gift from Lu Ye, they must give corresponding respect. After all, Lu Zhendong is Lu Ye's biological father. Now that he has come to give a gift, he cannot neglect Lu Zhendong. He must always give him enough face.

"You deserve it, Brother Lu. Our Chen Hao and your Lu Ye are like brothers. Just based on this relationship, you deserve it. Come and sit down..." Chen Jinshan said with a smile on his face.

It’s just that Chen Jinshan has good intentions.

But when these words reached Hou Xiaoyun's ears, they sounded particularly harsh.

The relationship between her and Lu Ye has now reached the point where she is a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and she cannot bear to hear any good words from Lu Ye.

Hou Xiaoyun's expression immediately darkened, and she said unhappily, "I won't take advantage of that little bastard. I'll just follow our gift and sit at an ordinary table. Don't spend money and then feel like I'm taking advantage of others."

Hou Xiaoyun's words were so sour and smelly that Chen Jinshan was stunned.

It feels like my kindness has met a fool.

However, it was precisely because of Hou Xiaoyun's words that Chen Jinshan finally understood that Lu Ye had really severed ties with the old Lu family.

Otherwise, how could Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun not know at all that Lu Ye had made a fortune and still say such harsh words.

"In that case, you guys just sit back and watch. Okay, there's someone else coming over there. I'll go greet them first."

Since the other party didn't appreciate his kindness, Chen Jinshan stopped trying to please him. After saying a few words, he left to greet someone else.

Lu Zhendong and Hou Xiaoyun were left standing next to the main table, not knowing whether to sit or not.

"They kindly invited us to sit at the main table, but look what you said, it was so rude." Lu Zhendong said to Hou Xiaoyun in a low voice with some annoyance.

"That's right! Everyone in the village knows that little bastard smashed the house and ran away, but he treated his Chen Hao and Lu Ye like brothers and let us sit at the head table. What's the point? Who is he trying to disgust?"

Hou Xiaoyun looked unfriendly and spoke in a sarcastic tone with a pout.

"You think too much!"

The logic didn't make sense, so Lu Zhendong ignored Hou Xiaoyun and walked towards a table with an empty seat.

At the gate of the courtyard, Du Dawei led his family to Old Chen's house.

When writing the gift account, Du Dawei simply gave a gift of one dollar.

It is one of the few items in the gift account book that is measured in yuan.

When Chen Jinshan saw Du Dawei and his family coming, his face looked a little unnatural.

The Du family had competed with their family for a daughter-in-law, and many people knew about it. Now Chen Hao got married to Huang Xing as he wished, but the Du family was left empty-handed.

Chen Jinshan was really worried that the Du family would not accept this and would do something bad at the wedding.

"The secretary is here."

"Secretary Du..."

Seeing Du Dawei enter the yard, some villagers greeted him.

Since the land reform, the Du family has become more and more domineering in the village. Not only did they get the most and best land, but even some controversial lands were directly occupied by Du Dawei on the grounds of trusteeship.

The villagers were angry but dared not speak out against Du Dawei's behavior. When they saw Du Dawei, many of them were respectful on the surface but cursed him in their hearts.

“Congratulations…Congratulations…”

Du Dawei walked straight into the courtyard.

Chen Jinshan went to greet him, but before he could figure out how to start, Du Dawei spoke first and congratulated Chen Jinshan.

"Secretary Du is here, please come in quickly."

Chen Jinshan instinctively didn't want to offend Du Dawei. At this moment, Du Dawei was smiling and saying congratulations, as if he really came to congratulate him.

"Chen Hao is promising. I heard he's doing well out there and has made a lot of money."

"Old Chen, you two are so lucky."

Du Dawei followed Chen Jinshan and went straight to the main table.

"Not bad... not bad." Chen Jinshan responded modestly, "Secretary Du, please take a seat."

Du Dawei was not polite and sat down on the chair at the main table.

"Old Chen, I heard that Chen Hao went to Binjiang. What exactly is he doing in Binjiang? There are so many young people in our village. If Chen Hao really has a good way to make money, let him guide these young people in the village."

"Don't organizations also advocate for shared prosperity?"

Everyone in the village only knows that Chen Hao made a lot of money outside, but no one knows what he does specifically.

Du Dawei said this in a loud voice, which immediately attracted the attention of other villagers around.

Everyone looked at Chen Jinshan, wanting to know what Chen Hao had done to make his fortune.

"This..."
