Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Banquet Turmoil
With the help of Zhang Yan's family and Li Qingming's family, the banquet was held as scheduled, and many people in the village came to Kapok's fruit orchard for the first time, and the outer courtyard was bare in the past.
Li Qingming and his son were writing gifts at the door, Zhang Yan and Li Xiuniang were all helping to serve food and add firewood, a rare and lively scene, and Kapok and Li Xiufeng were busy greeting guests.
When the second table was about to eat, Ansheng's family arrived, Ansheng's mother Fang Yuting and Anxin still came to Kapok's house for the first time, I had only heard that Kapok was very capable, but I didn't expect Kapok to be so capable, the fruit garden at home became a landscape in Lijia Village, and suddenly felt that my son was a little unworthy of Kapok, the two families were still too far apart, otherwise they could often visit the door, so Ansheng's mother was not afraid that her daughter-in-law would be looked at by others, Ansheng's mother was not interested in the property of the Kapok family but it was rare to meet such a good woman.
An Sheng's family originally wanted to help, Kapok strongly asked them to sit and eat, An Sheng was an exception, and then he was busy, Kapok would not let go of such a good and free strong labor.
When the second table was about to be eaten, Mrs. Liu came with the whole family, accompanied by seven or eight servants, and the people in the village had never seen such a big card, so they all looked over.
"Grandma Liu, you can be counted, if you don't come, the second table is finished, I think you sit at a table alone, most of you know each other, our village is also these home-cooked dishes, don't dislike it" Kapok enthusiastically pulled Mrs. Liu's arm, Liu Yuan blew his beard and glared at him vigorously, Liu Ye and Zhang Yuan both whispered Liu Yuan, after all, they were guests at someone else's house.
"I just like this cooking, big fish and meat eat the body is not cool, kapok, I am still here for the first time, your fruit garden is really good, the scenery is good" Mrs. Liu just came in to see the panorama, now in the spring a lot of fruit trees are blooming, and some of them have produced small fruits, such a scenery is rare.
"Grandma often comes to play if she likes it, and my godmother and Uncle Huang and Uncle Niu are at home, and they are bored all day long" Kapok said, and Li Xiufeng also came over.
"This is Mrs. Liu, right? Who are the next few of these? Li Xiufeng only heard Kapok call Mrs. Liu, so he guessed some.
"Oh, this is my son Liu Ye, my daughter-in-law Zhang Yuan, and my grandson Liu Yuan," Mrs. Liu introduced them one by one, and by the way, she also observed Li Xiufeng, who didn't look like a businessman at all, and seemed to be just a very virtuous housekeeper, so she had a lot of guesses about the truth of Liu Yuan's words.
"You are Liu Yuan?" Li Xiufeng pointed at Liu Yuan and said.
"Hello auntie, I'm Liu Yuan, what's wrong?" Liu Yuan looked at Li Xiufeng with a puzzled expression, but he still saluted respectfully, and the An family also heard the movement here and ran over to take a look, and Anxin and her mother recognized Liu Yuan at a glance.
"Little boy, why do you dare to come? It's that he talked nonsense in my house two days ago, slandering the innocence of the cotton girl," Fang Yuting recognized Liu Yuan at a glance.
"Why am I talking nonsense? It's that stinky girl who wants to step on two boats! I helped you, and you blame me for coming? Liu Yuan really couldn't figure out why he had become an enemy even though he had done a good deed, and Mrs. Liu, Liu Ye and Zhang Yuan were all watching what was going on.
"You, you little boy, did your father raise you ignorant or what? You damage a woman's reputation so much, isn't this the life of a cotton girl? Fang Yuting said angrily, although Kapok thought that it was a bit serious, but in the eyes of the ancients, it was indeed the case.
"I'm just telling you that Kapok's stepmother and her father have been informed of these things, so why does it have to do with reputation?" Liu Yuan still lacks some judgment on the sophistication of human feelings, only blame that he has been protected too well since he was a child, and Mrs. Liu didn't expect things to be so serious, after all, they only learned about the surface from Liu Yuan's mouth, but not the inside.
"Kapok? What the hell is going on? Why am I so confused? "Mrs. Liu urgently needs to know the sincerity of the matter.
"Let's all go over there and sit down and talk! This matter must be clarified after all, otherwise how can I Kapok still live in the village" Kapok was also a little angry, so the tone was inevitably not good.
After listening to Kapok's words, he and the people close to Kapok went over together to see how the matter was resolved, and the people who came to eat and drink in the village also gathered around to hear the excitement.
The most comprehensive things are Li Xiufeng, Zhang Yan and others.
"It's my daughter whose reputation is damaged, so let's talk about it......" Li Xiufeng explained how to hear the gossip in the village and how to know Liu Yuan's nonsense, and then said the specific relationship between Kapok and Mu Qing's family, "It's because of you that my daughter was talked about by the whole village, she has been miserable since she was a child, her mother died early, and the remaining father was also indifferent to her, and let her stepmother bully, if it weren't for Mian'er's own self-reliance and her own ideas, maybe she would still be suffering in the old house of the Mu family, Do you know how important a woman's reputation is? How did your mom and dad teach you? Li Xiufeng wiped away his tears as he spoke, and Kapok comforted him softly on the side.
"Little boy, last time you asked me where the Kapok family is and where there are brothers and sisters, I didn't tell you these things in detail, Kapok I grew up watching, these things are known to the whole village, you tell her stepmother like that, her stepmother must have spread the matter wildly! Kapok, blame me, I didn't make it clear to him at the time, I thought he was your friend, you told him yourself" Zhang Dali listened to Li Xiufeng's speech, and said with some guilt.
"Uncle Zhang, how can I blame you! You're not wrong," Kapok reassured.
"Yuan'er, don't apologize soon" Liu Ye finally figured out what was going on after hearing this, and scolded sharply, Liu Yuan has been hurt by his family since he was a child, plus his mother has taken him, and every time he does something wrong, he is protected by his mother, and Liu Ye roared so fiercely for the first time.
"I ...... I just don't want Kapok to marry into our family, I don't want to ruin his reputation! Liu Yuan's tone at this time was not as loud as just now, he probably knew that he was wrong, but he still didn't want to admit it.
"Liu Gongzi, you really think too much, Mian'er and I are in love, how can Mian'er like you? If you remove the Liu family, you are nothing, Mian'er will not like the high-ranking son" An Sheng hugged Kapok's shoulder and said sarcastically, he had long wanted to say this.
"Yes! It's so stinky and beautiful, narcissist, Sister Kapok is my brother's daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door, and my mother and I think Sister Kapok is "Anxin also childishly helped his brother and said.
"Kapok, it's my fault, I'm here to apologize to you, I'm sorry" Mrs. Liu listened so much and knew the cause and effect of the matter, and was about to kneel down as she spoke, Kapok and Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help, Liu Yuan stared at his grandmother and did something in a low voice because of him.
"Grandma Liu, how can I blame you! This matter has nothing to do with you" Kapok couldn't bear to look at the old man like this, not to mention that it wasn't her fault at all.
"Yes! Mother. Don't defend Yuan'er, it's all my fault that I have nothing to do with Xianggong's godson" Zhang Yuan also said angrily, Liu Yuan was still in place, everything he thought was wrong. He was a little difficult to accept for a while, and the boy who had never touched a nail touched a nail.
