"Next, are we going to perform?"

The village chief asked.

"No hurry, the show isn't over yet. It's my and my sister-in-law's turn to perform next."

Wang took Old Lady Chen and left, standing at the corner door of the corridor connecting the two houses. This place was not far from the guest room, so every word they said could be heard by them.

"Hey, sister-in-law, what's the meaning of this aunt today? Doesn't she want to leave? Is she going to stay here?"

"Don't say that. She's not feeling well and doesn't have a car, so she can't go back."

"Why can't I go back? Can't I carry my five grandchildren? I just want to stay here."

"Don't say that. Keep your voice down. It's not good if someone hears you."

"Hmph~ I'm just being loud. You haven't been back for decades, and now you're back with all these idiots. You're here to take advantage of me!"

"Stop talking, it's not good if someone hears you."

"What's good or bad? We've had such a hard time these past few years. Now that things are finally getting better this year, so many people have come to recognize us as their relatives."

Wang was afraid they couldn't hear clearly, so she took a few steps over there. "She said she was Chen Xiu'e, right? I suspected she was a fake, but my husband was afraid that others would say he was heartless, so he held this family recognition banquet."

"If you ask me, tell them to take him away immediately. Who knows where he came from? He's wasting food."

Old Lady Chen pretended to persuade him, "You can't say this outside. I also think this is strange. It suddenly appeared after decades of silence."

"That's not all. Just as we were reunited, the Qian family showed up again. I'm afraid they set this up on purpose to trick our family, right?"

Wang slapped her thigh, as if she had figured it out.

"That must be the case. They're all fake. They're just trying to trick us. Let's secretly report them to the police and have them all arrested. Not a single one of them will be able to escape."

"Sister-in-law, the Ming Mansion has sealed it for the New Year. There's no point going there now. Let's stabilize them first and talk after the fifteenth."

"Then what about that guy? He's still committing fraud at such an old age." Wang whispered.

"Ah, it looks pitiful, and it doesn't seem like it. How about we talk it over and decide whether to report it to the police?"

"She didn't even have a token to show her identity, so it must be fake. People showed up as soon as she did, so they must be in the same group. Let's go and ask her family."

The two of them turned around anxiously, and when they turned around, they couldn't help laughing, pinching each other to avoid laughing out loud.

Qian Si and his companions had been crouching down and eavesdropping since Wang and Old Lady Chen spoke their first words. When they left, they became even more nervous.

The short man who was with Qian Si said anxiously, "Qian Si, you said there was something good, so we came here together. Why did they want to report it to the police?"

"That's right. That old Chen family member simply doesn't recognize us from the bottom of her heart. Now she suspects that we are in cahoots with her."

"If I report this to the authorities and can't explain myself, I'll probably get a beating."

"Don't worry, Qian Si's marriage certificate is real. Even if we report it to the authorities, it won't have much to do with us. But we didn't gain any benefits this time. We can't let the person who reported the news off easily."

One of the big men had a fierce look on his face. He was in big trouble and might even have to go to the county government office.

"Yes, big brother is right. The person who reported the news must not be forgiven lightly."

Several people were angry.

Qian Si was silent for a long time. After a long while, he finally said, "Don't worry. Whether she is or not has nothing to do with us. We will just assume that she is, even if she is not."

Qian Si's face was full of ferocity, and he couldn't come here in vain.

Yu Shijiang told everyone what he heard, and they were ready to act like scoundrels to the end.

Chen Xiu'e was not panicked. "If that's the case, then I will go back with them."

"No, you can't go back with them. They've already revealed their true nature. If you go back with them, I'm afraid..."

Xue Jingtang didn't finish his words, but everyone understood.

"What should we do?"

Chen Lin was extremely anxious. "If that doesn't work, just give them some benefits."

"Benefits? How much benefit is appropriate? If this happens again and again, how much property do you have?"

Xue Jingtang asked back, and Chen Lin was speechless for a moment, so he could only turn his head away in annoyance.

"Your foreplay is over, and they have no other options now. It's all up to us now."

Xue Jingtang comforted them, saying that they would take care of everything.

"You'd better not show up. We'll do it. You can't show up for public or private reasons. It will damage your reputation as an official."

Old Master Yu was not going to let Xue Jingtang come forward, so he turned around and gave instructions to Yu Qi.

"Old Qi, hurry up and go to Tianshui Village to find out about the Qian family."

"Old Shi, you have to work harder to keep an eye on them these past two days. If there's anything, come back immediately."

Then he said to the crowd, "These five people seem to be quite disorganized. If the Qian family really wanted to pick someone up, they would definitely do it in a big way and would not just let these five hooligans do it."

"Right now, getting the marriage certificate back is the most important thing. Avoiding future troubles is the most important thing. Since the foreplay has already begun, the afterplay must also be realistic."

He looked at Wang and the others, "Do you ladies understand what I mean?"

"Don't worry, old man. I will make clear arrangements for them."

The adults were discussing in the front, and the children were also busy in the back.

"If you ask me, the elders are being too slow. They should just put him in a sack and give him a good beating, then take the marriage certificate and be done with it."

Qingyu was really angry. His good mood of the past few days was completely ruined by these people.

Qing Wu glanced at him and said, "Rough man"

"Then second brother, you are smart, so you should think of a way!"

Qingyu refused to accept.

"I think this is a great idea!"

Xue Shu's words of agreement attracted the attention of several children.

"Are they relying on the marriage certificate? Just rob it and destroy it. If they can cheat, then so can we? If they can't get any evidence, we can sue them for fraud."

"But what if there is a record of this among the Tianshui Village people?"

Qingbai felt there was something wrong.

"What family would include in their family tree a bride who committed suicide before even entering the family home?"

After Xue Shu's reminder, everyone suddenly realized.

"Yes, both the parents and the matchmaker are dead, and there was no thorough exchange of the six rituals. Now there is only a marriage certificate. If this marriage certificate is also gone, then the matter will be resolved, right?"

"Also, it would be complete if the government hadn't filed a record with them!"

When they were excited, Xue Shu said something again, and several people were beaten back to their original form.

"You don't have to do this. My aunt was forced to marry. According to the law, you must register with the government before getting married, and the government will also ask for the reason. In this case, it is very likely that the Qian family did not register with the government before the wedding, and for safety reasons, they may have gone there after the wedding."

"Although this approach is flawed, many people do experience this kind of situation. Instead of speculating here, why not have someone go back and investigate?"

The light in the darkness is dim and shadowy.

The order of the marriage certificate and the filing may be incorrect, so please be gentle with me. It was difficult to write /(tot)/~~, so please bear with me if there are any mistakes.
