Divorced woman with child travels through time

Because of the tight schedule, everyone in the village except those who were working regularly went to Aunt Liu's house to help with the preparations. Chen Wenfang was not idle either; she led the children to direct traffic. It was convenient to buy things, but there were many people coming to buy and deliver goods, which often caused traffic jams on the road.

For several days in a row, Chen Wenfang instructed the maid and Da Xiong to practice their skills and read their books with their masters each day, and then arrange for the two of them, one big and one small, to direct traffic. Chen Wenfang even had Chahua sew two red ribbons for them. The children really liked this job and were eager to go. They went with high spirits and great attitudes, showing a lot of leadership qualities. Under Da Xiong's guidance, they made the arrangements in their childish voices, and they actually did a pretty good job. The peddlers were also happy to cooperate. After all, if you didn't follow the arrangements, the aunties in the village wouldn't let you get away with it.

The wedding day arrived quickly. Chen Wenfang had given notice and distributed red envelopes a few days in advance. On this day, the whole village would take a break from work to facilitate Dazhuang's wedding procession and avoid blocking the road. The village was filled with joy. Following Chen Wenfang's suggestion, Aunt Liu began decorating from the intersection of the main road and Wangjiazhuang. There was a huge stone tablet at the intersection, and several pots of pomegranates were placed next to it. The fiery red flowers looked particularly vibrant. Red silk flowers were tied to the new green leaves of the small trees along the road, making it even more festive. The road stretched straight to Aunt Liu's yard.

Ye Peining, inside the carriage, kept secretly looking outside. Seeing the elaborate decorations along the roadside, she felt even more certain that she hadn't made the wrong choice in selecting him.

Da Zhuang rode a tall horse at the front, dressed in red and wearing a jade crown, looking very spirited. The wedding procession went very smoothly. The Ye Family Escort Agency didn't make things difficult at all, as if they couldn't wait for their daughter to get married. From the head of the Ye family escort agency to the Ye family relatives, everyone welcomed his arrival.

As soon as the convoy entered the courtyard, the Ye family members carefully examined the new house. Fortunately, they had Brother Nie's construction team. Aunt Liu's house had also been renovated last year, and everything was neatly and grandly arranged. Nothing was missing. Although it couldn't compare to a wealthy family, it would certainly be comfortable to live in. The house was also quite large. The Liu family had a small population and excellent family traditions. Compared to the Ye family, the Liu family was slightly above their station, but with the Wang family behind them and Dazhuang joining the army, their future was limitless. The Ye family was very satisfied with this.

Wang Erniu also valued Dazhuang highly, and brought all his brothers back with him. Dazhuang was the first of his sons to get married, so he couldn't let anyone find fault with him. Chen Wenfang only gave twenty taels of silver on the surface, but it was rumored that she was planning to add more dowry for the Ye family's daughter. He couldn't inquire about this, as his wife could decide for him. After all, Lü Xiong had been dragging his feet on the marriage, and he still needed his wife to come up with a solution.

"Come, come, in-law, let me toast you." Uncle Liu Hai's face was flushed, his joy overflowing and impossible to hide.

"Hey, hey, alright, come on, let's celebrate together! We won't leave until we're drunk!" Chief Escort Ye was even happier than him. After drinking a bit, he became quite talkative. He put his arm around his neck and walked and talked until the two of them plopped down under the eaves. "Let me tell you, brother, my daughter is really good. Although she's a bit fierce, she knows how to care for people. I raised her, and I can't bear to part with her... sob sob..."

"Don't worry, brother. She'll definitely have a good life after marrying into the family. I guarantee it..." Uncle Liu Hai was still somewhat rational and immediately expressed his determination. He knew his son well.

Mrs. Ye was extremely embarrassed. "Oh dear, all men are like this. My husband is the same. He talks nonsense when he drinks." Aunt Liu quickly took her hand and led her into the house.

Wang Erniu sat with Chen Wenfang in the main room entertaining guests. Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh. Brother Nie and his brothers were drinking at each table. There weren't too many people, only about twenty tables. The food and drinks were all fresh and prepared by themselves, and it always involved chicken, duck, fish, and meat. The taste was familiar, and the portions were large and filling. That's how it is in the countryside.

The happiest were the children. They didn't have to go to class or practice martial arts today, and they didn't have any homework either. It was the first time the three old men had come to a celebration in the village, and they discovered that there weren't so many rules and regulations in the countryside. Except for the main table, everyone could sit anywhere, and the dishes were suitable for all ages. They especially loved one of the dishes: braised pork belly with dried green beans. The pork belly was tender and juicy, trembling and full of elasticity, yet it didn't get stuck in their teeth. The three old men each ate three pieces, and they enjoyed it especially with rice wine.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the young man spoiled the children and ordered an extra basket of firecrackers. Unexpectedly, Liu Xuetian, who also loves children, gave him an extra small box of his self-developed fireworks. It is said that this young man's firecracker business is getting better and better, and the variety of products is also increasing.

Chen Xuanyu was always at the forefront. In the evening, after the guests had all left and the adults went to make merry in the bridal chamber, he would lead a bunch of kids to set off fireworks and firecrackers on the estate.

The sounds of "Bang! Bang! Bang!..." kept coming.

In Wangjiazhuang, on Dayao Mountain, the assassins sent by Zhao Qi were hiding in the woods.

Ah Xing munched on some jerky and complained, "Boss, when are we going to make our move? The mosquitoes in this godforsaken place are venomous; they bite my face the most."

"You can just stop eating, why do you talk so much? It's so noisy." A-Yue glared at him.

"I love to eat, so what?" Ah Xing said dismissively.

"Is it really that delicious?" A-Yue asked doubtfully, her face veiled.

"Really, you should try it!" Ah Xing reluctantly handed him one.

"You're so stingy!" Ah Yue snatched it away, quickly lifted the veil, put it in her mouth, and then quickly tied it back up. "Mmm, tastes good. Give me some more."

"That's all, I'll eat the rest myself." Ah Xing turned her head away and ignored her.

"You!" Ah Yue grabbed a knife and stabbed him.

"Stop!" Zhao Yang glanced coldly at the two of them. "It's almost night. If you keep causing trouble, I won't be polite."

"Hmph!" A-Yue angrily sheathed her knife and squatted down. The remaining group of assassins who were squatting around her didn't dare to breathe loudly, except for the unrestrained A-Xing, who was munching on jerky. An awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Zhao Yang slowly stretched out his hand. Ah Xing sighed, grabbed a few stalks of grass for him, and Zhao Yang slowly began to eat. His subordinates looked at each other, not daring to speak, making the situation even more awkward. Ah Yue was even angrier, taking the knife she usually used to kill people and relentlessly chopping at the grass on the ground to vent her anger.

Ah Xing broke the silence, saying, "This comes from Chen Ji. They definitely have it in the village down there. It's really expensive, three taels of silver for half a catty. You can go down and rob it yourself later."

"Fine, I'll take it! Humph!" A-Yue retorted indignantly. Wasn't A-Yang only the leader because the main family bestowed upon him the surname? Otherwise, what right did he have?

If Chen Wenfang were here, she would definitely cry foul. She was originally selling it for two taels of silver per catty, but over there it was three taels of silver for half a catty. It's not her fault, there's already a shortage of beef, and now she even wants to raise her own cattle, who would be willing to eat it...
