Chapter 47: The Unfaithful Husband Comes Knocking on the Door

  The next day was the day when Madam Jia's confinement ended and also the day of Su Xiao Xuan's full moon celebration. When the sky was still gray, Su Xiao Fan got up to prepare for a banquet using the silver given by Wang Ye yesterday, and at the same time, he had asked his grandmother to inform everyone in the village yesterday to come to their home for lunch today.

  "Xiao Fan, get up, haven't you?"

  They had just gone to bed and hadn't even opened the door when they heard Yu Xiaoxi's shouting voice coming from the courtyard.

  "How come you're so early?" Su Xiaofan opened the door with surprise, originally she was still thinking about whether to go to her house to find her for help.

  "Heh heh, it's not just me." Yu Xiaoxi smiled slyly and pointed to the three people standing at the gate.

  Su Xiaofan looked at Su Bing and the two people standing beside him were Meng Ping and Meng Jie, the twin brothers from Mingyuelou.

  "How can you all be so early." Su Xiaofan rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out.

  "I heard that today is your brother's full moon banquet, and it just so happens that the three of them are on holiday, so I came over to help. " Yu Xiaoxi walked up and patted Su Xiaofan's shoulder: "What's wrong, didn't you sleep well last night?"

  "Hmm, I've been thinking about some things." Su Xiaofan looked at the three of them suspiciously. Was it really just a coincidence that they all had today off?

  If Lao is always troubled by Su Heng's family matters and has to ask for leave, it will affect his work.

  "What happened at that banquet yesterday?" Yu Xiaoxi hid a hint of worry, her intuition told her that something bad must have happened.

  "Nothing happened, just met Zhang Yun Song." Su Xiao Fan silently sighed, thinking about how to deal with it if he came looking for trouble all night, but after a whole night of thinking, there was no clue.

  It is said: The common people do not contend with officials; the poor do not contend with the rich.

  The current situation in this household really can't afford to have any more trouble, otherwise the days that had just barely started to get a little better might relapse back to how they were when I first arrived, or maybe even become worse than before.

  Xiao Yi Mo's foot, which was about to step out of the door, froze in mid-air after hearing her words. No wonder she had been acting strangely since last night, even when asked several times, she didn't say a word. Back then, she had jumped off a cliff for that person, did she really like him that much?

  "What? That scoundrel is back?" Yu Xiaoxi's eyes widened instantly. Xiao Fang had liked Zhang Yuncong so much, others didn't know, but she was the most aware of it. In their past interactions, no matter what Xiao Fang was doing, she would always talk about things related to Zhang Yuncong the most. Although recently she hadn't mentioned him much.

  He had always thought that Xiaofang was heartbroken and completely gave up on him.

  But Xiao Fan was troubled all night because of that person's return. Was he still holding onto expectations for that person?

  "Never mind, I'll go prepare breakfast. Xiao Xi, you help them tidy up the yard." Su Xiaofan shook her head a few times, waving away the overly chaotic thoughts.

  "Good." Yu Xiaoxi nodded slightly and led Su Bing and the two brothers to start busy in the yard. Earlier, she had heard Xiao Fang say that she wanted to fill some uneven places in the yard with mud first, so as not to place tables and chairs unevenly when setting up the banquet.

  "Thanks, I'll trouble you." Su Xiao Fan smiled and walked into the kitchen.

  Xiao Yimeng leaned against the door, her ink-colored eyes always following the figure of Su Bing in the courtyard. She had clearly liked Zhang Yuncong before, so why did she suddenly change and like Su Bing instead?

  People can change, but they won't change this fast, will they?

  As it approached noon, some invited villagers came to Su Xiaofan's home one after another, sitting in the courtyard in twos and threes. Jia also changed into a new dress today, holding the newly full-month-old Su Xiaoxuan to greet everyone.

  "This child's facial features are really well-formed." San Po carefully took Su Xiao Xuan from Jia's arms and cradled her in her own.

  "Yes, just like a good husband." Su Shunyou smiled warmly beside Sanpo.

  Jia's gentle and elegant lady sat on one side, smiling as she looked at the people in the courtyard.

  It's been a long time since we had a decent dinner party at home, ever since I got married.

  "Mom, have you called second brother and third brother and their families?"

  Almost everyone in the village had arrived, but without seeing anyone from their two families, Jia asked aloud.

  Ye Shi lowered his voice and replied: "As Fan'er has said, don't invite those two families."

  Jia's lips pursed without responding. Even if they had gone too far, after all, they were still family. Wasn't Fang'er being too resentful?

  "How did you get here?" Yu Xiaoxi blocked the two people standing at the gate with a hand on her hip, not allowing them to enter.

  "Yu Xiao Xi's appearance has become more and more delicate." Su Dong Cui lifted her plump arm, wanting to touch Yu Xiao Xi's cheek.

  Yu Xiaoxi took a few steps back, her face sinking, and said coldly: "You are not welcome here, please leave." This little couple had just seen Zhang Yun Song yesterday, and now they were coming to their doorstep today, what did they want to do?

  Ye Shi heard Yu Xiaoxi's voice, turned around in confusion, and when he met Su Dongcai's gaze for a moment, his expression changed slightly before quickly replacing it with a faint smile. He walked over and asked, "Is there something on your mind that brought you here today?"

  Su Dong Cui swung a few chickens and ducks in her hand: "I heard that today is the full moon of your family's Xiao Xuan, we came to ask for a cup of wine to drink."

  Ye's family looked back at Jia's family with difficulty.

  Su Xiaofan, who had just walked out of the kitchen, happened to see the two people at the gate and wiped her hands with the apron around her waist. She opened her throat and said loudly: "Grandma, please ask them to come in and sit down. Today is my brother's full moon wine, one more person means one more blessing, doesn't it?"

  "Come on, let's go in." Only then did Ye invite the two of them inside.

  Su Dong Cui put down the chickens and ducks in her hands to the corner of the yard, looked at Su Xiao Fan with a puzzled expression for a few moments before walking over to Madam Ji's side. After sizing up Su Xiao Xuan for a moment, she smiled and said: "This child really does have a lucky appearance."

  Jia's smile froze on her face as soon as she saw them, and she didn't respond to their words either.

  Zhang Tiefeng pulled Su Dongcui to a vacant table on one side and sat down, feeling the complex gazes of the villagers around him. He looked displeased, his face sinking. If it weren't for Yun Song's kid calling them to come no matter what, he wouldn't have been willing to come here and suffer these people's cold shoulders. Although he felt guilty towards their family and had always wanted to find an opportunity to visit and apologize, he just hadn't found a suitable chance yet.

  And today, seeing him for the first time, this ordinary person is indeed different from before, just like the rumors said.

  "The village head has arrived, come this way please." Ye Shi saw Xiao Changfu walk into the courtyard and smiled as he went to greet him. Then he looked at the several young boys following behind him, had these children been living in the village head's home recently?

  "Ah, you don't need to be polite." Xiao Changfu stroked his beard and walked into the courtyard with a faint smile. The villagers saw him coming and stood up one after another to greet him. Xiao Changfu responded to everyone with a faint smile.

  "Sister, if you don't like it, you didn't have to come." Xiao Yushu looked at his sister speechlessly. From the moment they left the house, she had been wearing a sullen expression, and no one had forced her to come anyway.

  Xiao Yuqiong coldly snorted and proudly raised her head, ignoring his words.

  Although I really dislike coming to this place, if I don't come here, there's no chance of meeting Mo Gege at all. Moreover, the dishes made by Su Xiaofan are still quite suitable for my taste.

  Xiao Yimo crouched in the hall, staring at the little chicks that had just hatched two days ago, completely ignoring the people in the yard.

  Those eggs picked up from the mountain that day finally hatched after a period of time, and they seemed to be laid by wild chickens on the mountain. In a few days, it's estimated that they can be put in the enclosure with those chickens and ducks for rearing.

  "How do you still have the face to come here?" The Third Aunt had originally planned to ignore this couple, but after sitting silently for a while, she couldn't swallow her anger. When their family was in trouble, they were also having a hard time, yet they chose to help them selflessly. It was even they who proposed the marriage between Xiaofan and Yuncong back then. Who would have thought that as soon as Yuncong became successful, he immediately broke off the engagement with Xiaofan?

  Not just people in their own village are outraged about this matter.

  "Third Auntie, don't vent your anger on my parents anymore, it's all Yun Song's fault."

  A gentle voice came from the gate, and the people in the yard looked up one after another, surprised that he still dared to appear here. His parents came over, and everyone had already had the idea of driving them away, but unfortunately, Xiaofan himself agreed to let them in.

  Su Xiaofan, who was originally about to enter the kitchen, stopped in her tracks at the sound.

  Perhaps it was the original owner of this body who really liked Zhang Yun Song, and when she heard his voice, a strange feeling arose in her heart.

  Xiao Yimeng in the house stood up reflexively when he heard the two words "Yun Song", and walked out of the yard.

  "Hmph, you people are really strange. If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to come in and out of here like you do." Yu Xiaoxi blocked Zhang Yunsong at the gate, making up her mind that even if Xiao Fan agreed to let him in, she would resolutely disagree.

  Although Xiao Mo was a bit smaller and not obedient enough.

  But it's still better than this scoundrel in front of me.
