You are unlucky and I am tough

The banquet had already started in the yard, and the villagers who were watching outside gradually dispersed.

But none of the villagers who came to join in the fun left empty-handed. There was a constant supply of melon seeds on the table at the door, and two wedding cakes were given to each person.

On the way back, the villagers gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter. Most of them were envious and said only good things, but there were also some who were sarcastic, saying that Wei Lao San had not even had a wedding banquet when he got married, but had made a grand move to his new home and did not pay any attention to the woman he brought home.

Wei Changgui still asked Wei Xiaokui to go back and get a jar of wine. He originally planned to distribute it to the two tables of workers, but when others saw that it was white wine, they were worried about getting drunk and refused to take it.

However, Boss Cheng ordered a bowl and ate it happily with the pig intestines. He put all the pig intestines and pig stomachs on his table into a separate bowl to go with the wine.

The Cheng family had not seen meat since the last birthday banquet for Mr. Cheng. A dozen people in the family were sitting at two tables and were eating voraciously.

"Mom, this meat is delicious. I can take some back later." Cheng Caizhi praised the braised meat.

Cheng Caipeng scooped up all the musk deer meat broth in front of him and mixed it with the rice. "Musk deer meat is not bad either. There must be some left. I want some too."

"Chicken is delicious too, I want some too." Cheng Caizhi's son said, grabbing the chicken leg.

"Bring some of everything," Hu Chunhua continued, "We've been busy in the kitchen all afternoon, so it's only natural that we bring some meat and vegetables home."

By the time the banquet was nearing its end, Wei Changgui was already drunk and kept talking nonsense. Seeing this, Cheng Lizheng told Wei Xiaokui to send them back first.

The workers who had eaten their fill also said goodbye and left one after another. Old Scholar Cheng and several clan elders did not stay long either.

Only Cheng Lizheng did not leave because Cheng Lao Da, Hu Chunhua and others had not left yet, and he was afraid that something might happen again.

Chen and her men were cleaning up the mess, while Cheng Shuang and Cheng Pan were also helping out in the kitchen.

Seeing that there were still some meat and vegetables left, Cheng Shuang said to Chen, "Aunt Chen, please divide these up among the others and take them home. We are so grateful to you all for helping us today."

Chen felt a little embarrassed: "Why give it to us? Keep the rest for your family."

"We can't eat so much. We have braised meat at home, and there's still one chicken and duck left."

After saying that, Cheng Shuang took Cheng Pan out and let the people in the kitchen divide it themselves.

"Then let's split up." Chen said.

When several people were looking for their own bowls and plates to share, Hu Chunhua rushed in with three large bowls of noodles and without saying a word, she stuffed the meat and vegetables into the bowls.

Facing the looks from others, she said confidently, "What are you looking at? My two daughters-in-law have been busy in the kitchen all afternoon. What's wrong with them taking some things back?"

Chen was speechless. The two men only washed a few vegetables in the afternoon and stood by and watched the rest of the time. How could that be considered help?

But she didn't want to argue with Hu Chunhua, the shrew, so she put down the bowl in her hand and went to do other things.

In the end, only two people got some meat and vegetables, and the rest were all taken away by Hu Chunhua.

Hu Chunhua called her two daughters-in-law in and asked each of them to take a bowl. She also took a bowl in her hand. When she came out, she saw Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang looking at her.

She immediately ran to the head of the village and said shamelessly, "Uncle Lizheng, everyone else gets paid for their work, but my two daughters-in-law have been busy in the kitchen all afternoon. We're all family, so forget about the money. Isn't it reasonable for us to take some of the leftover meat and vegetables back home?"

Cheng Lizheng knew Hu Chunhua's character very well and waved his hand: "Take your things and go back quickly. Cheng Shuang is already married. You are just uncles and aunts, not parents. You should know the limits when doing things."

"Yes, yes, the village head is right."

Hu Chunhua has learned her lesson now. Wei Qinglang and Cheng Shuang are rich now, and she cannot offend them. Not only that, she also has to find ways to ease the relationship.

Even if the betrothal gift is too little, I can't go back on my word, but at least I have a niece-in-law who can make money, and I can get rid of Cheng Pan and the two kids without having to raise them.

.

The sun was slowly setting. After a large group of people from the Cheng family left, Cheng Lizheng also went back.

The yard, which had been bustling with noise all day, finally quieted down, and the younger brothers and sisters were able to begin to carefully tour their new home.

They curiously touched every piece of furniture, looked carefully at every corner, and even the chicken and duck sheds outside.

After a day of seeing all sorts of strange things, Cheng Shuang was so exhausted that she collapsed on a bamboo chair in the yard, doubting her life. Wei Qinglang, on the other hand, took his younger brothers and sisters to visit the bathroom.

The bathroom is not small, with a large water tank and two bathtubs.

Wei Qinglang pointed to the bathtub inside and earnestly instructed Wei Nanxing, "The smaller bathtub is for your sister-in-law, Pan'er, and Xinyi. The big one outside is ours."

"Chen'er and Xiao Si, you also have to remember not to use it incorrectly, understand?"

The three of them nodded in unison, and Wei Qinglang continued, "There's a piston under the tub. Unplug it and drain the water after you're done. Of course, if you don't want to use a tub, you can just bring in hot water and rinse directly. Just bring an empty bucket with you to add cold water."

After visiting the bathhouse, the group returned to the courtyard. The sun had already completely set behind the mountain, and a gorgeous sunset glow appeared in the sky, casting a layer of brilliant golden light over the entire courtyard.

Cheng Shuang was quietly looking at the sunset in the distance, her eyes looking a little dazed.

Wei Qinglang asked his brothers and sisters to return to their rooms, and then he sat opposite Cheng Shuang.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so depressed?"

Cheng Shuang finally came back to her senses and sighed, "It's nothing, I'm just a little upset. The thought of these weird relatives haunting me in the future is really annoying."

"You used to be quite open-minded towards those people, why are you so upset today?"

Wei Qinglang observed her expression carefully. "If it's because of that bastard Wei Da Kui, I'll secretly put a sack on him and beat him up to vent your anger."

Cheng Shuang propped up her chin and said helplessly, "No need. He didn't even touch me. I'm not that fragile."

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Shuang tutted and said unhappily, "You're so long-winded. I'm in a bad mood just because my relatives are here. Is that not okay?"

When she woke up this morning, she found that her relatives had come. She was already feeling a little unwell, and with so many worries, her mood was a little affected.

Wei Qinglang nodded in realization, "Shall I pour you a cup of hot water?"

Cheng Shuang glanced at him and said, "You guys think hot water can cure all diseases, don't you?"

"I don't know if hot water can cure all diseases, but for most girls, it really can." Wei Qinglang couldn't help laughing as he said this, "Why don't you buy a bag?"

Cheng Shuang rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and threatened, "If you bother me again, I'll beat you up to vent my anger, believe it or not."

Wei Qinglang quickly raised his hands in surrender and walked away.

The water in the kitchen was almost used up, so he called Wei Nanxing to fetch water together, and then came back to boil water for a bath. The new house was close to the well, so it would be much more convenient to use water in the future.

After they finished taking a bath, Wei Qinglang took his younger siblings to class in the main room, while Cheng Shuang made two beds in the room.

There is an aisle between the two bamboo beds of the same size, just like a twin room in a hotel.

It was already late when it was time to rest at night, and Cheng Shuang was lying on the bed making pancakes.

Wei Qinglang was also very tired today. He was almost asleep when he heard the person on the bed opposite him tossing and turning. He asked in a daze, "You know your bed, why don't you go to sleep?"

"This bed is too hard. I can't sleep." said Cheng Shuang.

Wei Qinglang turned over and said, "The earthen kang was harder before, but I never heard you say you couldn't sleep."

"I'm here with my relatives, and my back hurts."

Wei Qinglang opened his eyes in the darkness, and after a while he got up and lit the oil lamp.

Cheng Shuang thought he was going to the bathroom, so Wei Qinglang went over and pulled her arm.

"Come, get up and sit over there with me for a while."

Cheng Shuang got up puzzled and sat on the bed opposite. She saw Wei Qinglang put away everything on her bed, then took out a silver-gray quilt from the space and spread it on her bed. Then he spread a bamboo mat on it, put the pillow and sheets back, and pressed it with his hands.

After he finished, he turned around and said, "Try this goose down quilt worth over ten thousand yuan. Is it soft enough?"

Cheng Shuang smiled, quickly climbed onto the bed and lay down to try it out.

"Comfortable."

Wei Qinglang hugged his arms helplessly, "Go to sleep if you feel comfortable, don't make pancakes anymore."
