As Cui Dashan spoke, he stood up and reached both hands under the table!

But before he could even exert any force with his arms, a piercing pain suddenly shot through him!

"Ouch!"

Cui Dashan exclaimed in surprise!

Sweat was beading on his forehead.

Liu Jia sneered, and with a slight increase in force, Cui Dashan bared his teeth and yelled again!

I knew all along you had no good intentions!

Now, in front of everyone, you think you can flip our table over? No way!

Everyone was taken aback at first, then they understood what was going on.

Cui Dashan wanted to cause trouble at the wedding, but Liu Jia stopped him!

Seeing this, many people tried to smooth things over.

"Hey Jianye, look! Your father-in-law is so happy, he's already tipsy after just one drink. Is he going to dance?"

"Yes, yes, thank goodness Sanzi reacted quickly, otherwise your father-in-law would have fallen!"

"Are you alright? If you feel like you haven't had enough, then have some more?"

The group asked questions one after another.

Cui Dashan blushed and was speechless.

At this moment, Cui Xiaojiu turned her head and asked, "Dad, do you still want to... drink?"

"Drink my ass! You idiot, all you do is eat, eat, eat. You'll choke to death one day!"

Not daring to provoke Liu Jia, Cui Dashan was seething with anger.

When his son asked him that question, Cui Dashan naturally vented his resentment on him.

Cui Xiaojiu pouted, looking aggrieved.

But thinking about how harsh her father's words had been, and with so many people watching, Cui Xiaojiu simply shut her mouth and didn't even glance at Cui Dashan.

With Liu Jia gripping his arm, Cui Dashan lost his confidence and instantly fell silent.

Seeing that Old Cui had backed down, Liu Jia withdrew his hand.

"Alright, everyone, keep eating. If you need anything, just call Qiu Zi and the others. We'll go check out the other tables."

Liu Jia was all smiles, and his demeanor when speaking to everyone was completely different from before.

Everyone responded with smiles.

Then, the three brothers went to other tables to offer toasts.

After the round, Liu Jianye had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and he was even a little unsteady on his feet.

"Second brother, drink less. You're different from us. Today is your big day with your wife."

Liu Jia whispered a reminder from the side.

Liu Jianye nodded repeatedly, his mouth never closing in a smile.

As the sun was about to set, people began to leave one after another.

The courtyard, which had been noisy just moments before, gradually quieted down.

Liu Jianye went to sleep in the north room.

Liu Jia and Liu Xinguo were busy working outside.

Zhao Xiaochao and Li Zhanjun's group were also busy until very late before they went home.

Liu Jia specially arranged for a banquet to be prepared for them and delivered it to the factory before it got dark.

Liu Jia finally felt relieved after Liu Jianye married Cui Hongmei.

As for the three-day homecoming visit mentioned by Cui Dashan, Liu Jia hasn't yet figured out how to respond.

However, Liu Jia was certain of one thing: Cui Dashan was no match for him.

With his petty mind, you can tell what he's thinking just by watching him roll his eyes.

"Sanzi, go to the window and call your brother. Dinner is ready. See if he's awake yet."

Zhang Guilan set out the chopsticks and looked at Liu Jia with a smile.

Liu Jia nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

As Liu Jia left, a smile returned to Zhang Guilan's face.

Fortunately, the third brother came back. If he were still at school, calling his son and daughter-in-law for dinner would have fallen on my shoulders.

It's not that I'm unwilling to walk those extra steps, it's just that they just got married today, and it would be awkward for me, as their mother-in-law, to go inside and have dinner with them. Not only would the young couple feel embarrassed, but I would feel awkward myself.

Liu Jia didn't think much of it and called out as soon as he arrived at the door.

"Brother, are you awake? Mom has prepared dinner and wants you to eat with your sister-in-law. Shall I bring the food to your room?"

Upon hearing Liu Jia's voice, Cui Hongmei's face flushed red to the roots of her neck.

I've only been here for a day, and you expect them to bring my food inside?

Even though I have difficulty walking, this won't do.

"Brother Jianye, wake up! Sanzi is calling us to go eat!"

Cui Hongmei put her hand on Liu Jianye's shoulder and patted him gently.

Liu Jianye groggily opened his eyes and quickly said, "Okay, I'll carry you to eat."

"No way, just support me, what will you look like carrying me on your back?"

Cui Hongmei had already planned it out: she could have Liu Jianye hold her arm and hop on her other foot to reach the south room.

Upon hearing this, Liu Jianye immediately objected.

"How can that be? Don't be silly. You need to take good care of this leg injury, or it will cause problems later."

Cui Hongmei lowered her head, and two more blushes appeared on her small face.

Liu Jianye cares about me so much, I've finally found the right person.

"Why isn't he moving, bro? Are you up yet?"

Liu Jia didn't leave. Since there was no sound from inside the house, Liu Jia probably called out again.

Before Liu Jianye could even get a word in edgewise with Cui Hongmei, Liu Jia burst into laughter.

Liu Jianye stuck his head out and said, "Sanzi, aren't you tired after a long day? You still have the energy to joke with your brother!"

"To be honest, I'm starving! Hurry up, I'm going to the south room first!"

After saying that, Liu Jia quickly ran towards the south room.

I wasn't exaggerating when I said that; I really was hungry.

Cui Hongmei glanced at the washstand. "Brother Jianye, why don't you wash your face first?"

"No need, I'll wash in the yard and come back in a bit."

Liu Jianye spoke very softly, as if coaxing a child.

Cui Hongmei's face turned red again.

Today, the Liu family is reunited.

The table was already packed with Liu Xinguo and his wife, Liu Jianye and his wife, and Liu Yutian and his wife. Now that Liu Jia has joined them, it looks even more crowded.

However, everyone stepped back a bit, which saved a lot of space.

"It's so lively when the whole family eats together, and the food always tastes better than anywhere else."

As Liu Xinguo spoke, he handed a steamed bun to Liu Jia.

"Brother, take care of my sister-in-law first, she's pregnant!"

Although she was busy these past two days, Liu Jia did not forget about Qin Chunyan's pregnancy.

Qin Chunyan felt embarrassed when she saw everyone looking in her direction.

"Sanzi, you don't get to eat home-cooked meals when you're away from home, so you should eat more today."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

The table in front of me was laden with dishes, both vegetarian and meat-based, including chicken, fish, and braised pork hock—all three main dishes were served.

"Mother, is this... such a lavish meal?"

Liu Jianye looked at the dishes on the table with a surprised expression.

"These were specially reserved; no one else has touched them, so please eat with peace of mind."

Although she was answering Liu Jianye's question, Zhang Guilan smiled and looked at Cui Hongmei.

There's a custom in the village that if there's any food left over from a meal, the neighbors can take it home.

These days, everyone's life is pretty much the same, and no one is particularly wealthy.

Therefore, some older women are especially happy whenever there are weddings or funerals, particularly weddings.

After everyone finishes eating, they will clear away the leftover food.

The dishes are so clean; it goes without saying that they're fresh.

"Eat quickly, you must be starving after a long day."

“Hongmei, don’t be shy, you can treat yourself as an outsider.”

Cui Hongmei had already stayed at Lao Liu's house for a while, so she wasn't particularly reserved.

Hearing Zhang Guilan say this, Cui Hongmei nodded repeatedly.

Everyone picked up their chopsticks.

Zhang Guilan was so busy she couldn't stop working.

Holding a new pair of chopsticks, he served food to his eldest daughter-in-law, then to his second daughter-in-law, and finally gave Liu Jia several pieces of meat.

"We need to eat quickly, Qiu Zi and the others will be here soon. Second Brother, you have to take good care of them."

Upon hearing Wang Liqiu say that she would come over early that evening, Liu Jia quickly made a mental note of it.

During the day, everyone helps prepare to welcome guests.

But when the wedding night came and they started making a ruckus, Liu Jia and Liu Xinguo couldn't stop them.

By this time, Liu Jianye had sobered up.

Hearing Liu Jia say this, he then laughed again.

“Qiu Zi and the others are easy to talk to. They’re all on our side now, so we can do whatever we want with them.”

As soon as he said it, Liu Jianye suddenly realized that he might have said something wrong.

Beside her, Cui Hongmei seemed to have already figured something out.

"Brother Jianye, did something happen today?"

Because of her health condition, Cui Hongmei stayed inside the Liu family's house after entering.

Although she couldn't go outside, Cui Hongmei was constantly worried about what was happening outside.

The night before, my father and mother gave me a long lecture and said a lot of unpleasant things.

Now that Li Jianye said that, Cui Hongmei's heart jumped into her throat.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. My brother was just saying that. Sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. Everything is fine!"

Before Liu Jianye could speak, Liu Jia quickly took over the conversation.

Today is a joyous day, so even if there are some minor disagreements, we mustn't let them escalate into anything unpleasant.

As soon as Liu Jia finished speaking, the others echoed his sentiments.

They quickly changed the subject again.

Cui Hongmei didn't think much of it then.

Just as they were finishing their meal, Liu Jia suddenly remembered something.

Everyone was talking inside Liu Jianye's house, but Liu Jia was wandering around in the yard.

Zhao Xiaochao and Li Zhanjun had already arrived, but Liu Jiaqiu did not see Wang Liqiu.

"That kid is so unreliable. He said he'd come early when he left, but now he's off wandering off somewhere!"

As he spoke, Liu Jia glanced specifically at the doorway.

Just as I was about to look away, Wang Liqiu's voice suddenly came over.

"Third Brother, why aren't you inside? Isn't everyone looking at the bride?"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Liu Jia quickly took two steps forward.

Before Wang Liqiu could react, Liu Jia had already signaled him to be quiet.

"What's wrong? What happened to Third Brother?"

Everyone saw clearly what happened during the day.

Cui Dashan's arrival was ill-intentioned, and many people were on tenterhooks.

Now that Liu Jia is so mysterious, Wang Liqiu instinctively thought of Cui Dashan.

"Don't make a sound, let's go out for a walk."

Seeing this, Wang Liqiu's ears perked up.

He quietly followed behind Liu Jia, not daring to utter a single word.

But in his heart he was thinking that he must be going to Old Cui's house.

But with just the two of them, isn't it a bit too few people?

Liu Jia tiptoed to the base of the south wall, quietly took a shovel, and led Wang Liqiu out, turning east as soon as they left.

"Third Brother, the Cui family's house is to the west. Are you sure you're not going the wrong way?"

"Just tell me you're going to Old Cui's house, and follow me."

"Ah, where are we going? Aren't we going to cause trouble for the Cui family?"

Although his feet didn't stop, Wang Liqiu's eyes were already wide open.

Liu Jia rolled his eyes.

"Is that all you've got?"

"Didn't they say to wait for three days? Why are you so impatient?"

“This has nothing to do with Cui Dashan. Just come with me.”

Liu Jia's words left Wang Liqiu completely bewildered.

Wang Liqiu doesn't understand the concept of vision or anything like that.

However, there was one thing Wang Liqiu knew very well that none of them could do it.

That means if someone treats you well, you should treat them well in return. If someone is deliberately looking for trouble, you shouldn't let them have an easy time!

Cui Dashan is clearly trying to make things difficult for the Liu family; we can't let him get away with it!

Liu Jia wouldn't let Wang Liqiu speak, so Wang Liqiu could only mutter to himself.

Not long after, Liu Jia suddenly stopped, and Wang Liqiu realized that they had reached the edge of the village.

After taking a clear look at the situation in front of him, Wang Liqiu immediately started scratching his head.

"Third Brother, how did we get here? This is a graveyard!"

Looking at the protrusions in front of him, Wang Liqiu's voice trembled slightly.

Liu Jia knew that Wang Liqiu wasn't very bold, but he was very tight-lipped.

That's why I asked him to come over.

Unexpectedly, Wang Liqiu's legs began to tremble as soon as he finished speaking.
