Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

The Yuan family was busy in the new yard.

Several women who had returned from the fields gathered under a big tree at the entrance of the village with small stools. Their expressions were extremely exaggerated, with their brows squinting and their lips pouting.

"I heard that the new family that arrived yesterday moved into our Lihua Village and bought that haunted house!"

"Ah! Is this true? Don't they know the house is haunted? The village chief can't be so ruthless, selling the haunted house to someone else. How evil is he!"

"I heard he spent two hundred taels and fifteen acres of land! As expected of someone who came here with Master Lu, he's so generous!"

After hearing this, several women sighed, feeling both envious and jealous. That was a big yard. Back then, the Lin family was one of the most wealthy families in Lihua Village.

"When the Lin family built this courtyard, it must have cost more than two hundred taels, right? They also built on fifteen acres of land. The Lin family's farmland is really prime land!"

"Hey, even if I give you the best land, would you dare to take it? Be careful, someone from the Lin family might come looking for you at night!"

The sky was clear and the sun was still hanging high in the sky. The sunlight was burning hot on people's skin. The shadows of the branches were reflected on the ground, as if something was about to come out at any time.

The women felt a chill on their backs, as if someone was staring at them gloomily in the dark, and they shivered together.

It's so scary!

They dispersed with their own small stools.

scare someone to death.

The Yuan family was completely unaware that they had caused a sensation in Lihua Village by buying a haunted house, and they were still busy as ever.

The bluestone floor was washed with water, and the whole yard became bright.

Yuan Lao Er drove all the chickens, ducks, rabbits and cows on the cart to the backyard. Yuan Lao San reinforced the chicken coop and fenced off a piece of land inside the chicken coop to raise rabbits. The cows were tied to a tree.

Yaoyao was very well-behaved, never crying or making a fuss, which made the whole family love her very much. They took turns hugging the little fat boy and kissing him, which made Yaoyao so angry that she opened her mouth and bit people. Of course, as a toothless person, for the Yuan family, that was the love of their precious baby.

The boys were very sensible. Knowing that there was no firewood at home, they went up the mountain with the other half-grown children in the village to collect firewood.

Children are the easiest to integrate into a group. In less than half a day, they become as close as if they were born from the same pair of pants.

After collecting firewood, a dozen or twenty children went to the village river to catch fish, arm in arm.

The Yuan family was relieved to see this. It seemed that the villagers of Lihua Village were easier to get along with than they had imagined, otherwise they would not let their own children come and play with their children.

Old Lady Liu and Old Man Yuan decided that since the villagers were so enthusiastic, they might as well hold a banquet in three days. They could use this opportunity to build good relationships with the villagers so that they would have someone to help them when they had difficulties in the future.

There was no time to lose, so Old Lady Liu went to the village chief's house and told him about the matter. The village chief said that he would take care of it.

The village chief thought that since the Yuan family had many male members and all of them were capable, he should build up good relationships with the villagers so that if any household had difficulties in the future, they could ask for help.

A family living at the end of the village came with a basket of vegetables and sweet potatoes and gave them to the Yuan family to eat.

"Since you just arrived, I thought you must not have any fresh vegetables to eat. These are all grown by ourselves. Please feel free to come and borrow them from me if you need anything at home."

Mrs. Lin didn't care about the reaction of the Yuan family. She put down the basket and ran out of the yard, as if there was a ghost in the yard.

It was Old Lady Liu who reacted and took a piece of bacon from home and chased after them. Of course, the bacon was definitely not given away. Mrs. Lin said that it was natural for neighbors to help each other, and besides, the piece of pork given yesterday had not been eaten yet.

The Yuan family probably didn't expect that they would receive so much goodwill after sending meat to the villagers to share in the joy.

Afterwards, several more families came carrying things from their homes: sweet potatoes, dried vegetables, and potatoes grown at home. They put down their things and ran away. They were very brave to dare to come with such things.

Everyone in the Yuan family looked at each other, and saw the word "depressed" in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that this yard would have such a big impact on the villagers, and they didn't even dare to step into the yard.

The children in the village are not afraid. At their age, they don’t believe in ghosts and gods.

"Grandpa and grandma, we caught a lot of fish!"

Guoxing happily ran into the yard carrying a basket full of fish, followed by Xiaohei, who looked very imposing. When the dog heard Guoxing say that they had caught the fish, his eyes rolled up so much that his pupils were almost invisible. Those were the fish he had caught with so much difficulty!

“You guys are amazing.”

Old Mrs. Liu touched her grandson's head and looked at the bucket full of fish. Most of the fish were as big as a thumb, and the shrimps were as big as a little finger. It looked like they were consuming too much oil.

Guoping walked into the yard with his two younger brothers carrying a bucket of fish and said with a smile, "The fish was caught by Xiaohei."

When Xiao Hei heard this, he raised his head proudly, as if saying, "Praise me, praise me!"

"Xiao Hei is so amazing. He can catch prey and fish." Guoxing quickly hugged Xiao Hei's neck and praised him.

Xiao Hei wagged his tail, broke free from Guoxing's hand and went into the house to find Yaoyao.

You want to take advantage of me? No way!

Guoan said in a baby voice, "Grandma, the fried fish smells so good!" As he spoke, crystal clear saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth, which made Old Lady Liu laugh and cry. She reached out and pinched Guoan's chubby face.

"Okay, grandma will fry fish for you tonight."

Guoxing jumped up and down, "Yeah, yeah, we're having fried fish tonight. Delicious fried fish."

"I'll give my sister some fried fish when the time comes. She's sure to like it." Guowang said happily.

Guoping patted his silly brother's head and said, "Sister is still young and can't eat fish."

Guowang covered his head with his hands, tears welling up in his eyes, "Oh."

The children who went fishing in the river today all had a good catch. Most of them took home a bucket of fish. When the children thought of the delicious fried fish, they rushed home with their mouths watering.

Of course, I was beaten up by the adults when I got home with the fish.

The adults' scolding could be heard in the village.

"Why bring all this back? It wastes so much fuel!"

Meeting the child's eager eyes, he fell silent, took the fish from the child's hand and went to deal with it.

It's worth getting beaten up when you eat the delicious fried fish.

The Yuan family had a relatively sumptuous dinner. They had leftover braised pork and stewed duck from yesterday, as well as roast chicken bought in town and fried fish. They ate it with porridge and enjoyed it with relish.

At the dinner table, Old Lady Liu told them that she would prepare a banquet in three days and invite the villagers to come and eat.

Since we are going to prepare a feast, we need to prepare a lot of firewood. Shen Chulan said that every household has children, so we need to make some red bowl cakes and fried dough twists for the children to eat.

Old Lady Liu nodded. "You and your sister-in-law can take care of these. We still have half a wild boar at home, so there's no need to buy wild sheep. We don't have enough rice, so we need to go to town to buy more tomorrow."
