Widow Wu wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth and held back, saying nothing.

Well, I'll just be this ugly person! It depends on whether Liao and Gu Dong know how to cherish this daughter-in-law.

If she encounters such a thing again in the future, she will not help, so as to avoid being disliked and ending up in a bad situation.

It seemed that it was almost time. The village chief waved his hand to everyone and said, "It's all right, it's all right, can everyone go home?"

Then he said to Liao with a serious face: "You, you are old, but your temper has become worse. I tell you, you have a good wife here, don't lose her again."

Then the village chief turned to Gu Dong and said, "And you, such a good wife, you must cherish her well!"

"Hmm~"

Gu Dong nodded seriously.

"Mom, your clothes are dirty. Go back and change them. I'll wash them for you." Gao said to Liao.

Seeing Gao's concerned face, Liao nodded awkwardly and went back to her room.

Maybe the village chief was right. He usually only cared about finding fault with his daughter-in-law, but forgot her good points. In fact, this daughter-in-law was not bad.

If you want to say what's wrong with her, I really can't find any faults, except that she can't make herself happy with her mouth. But she has a good relationship with her son.

I only have this one son, so of course I want him to live a good life. But I keep doing this all day, leaving my son in a dilemma, as if it's really my fault.

No one knew what Liao was thinking at this moment. All they knew was that it was really hard to get used to her keeping silent.

Gu Dong clasped his hands together and looked at the villagers, his face full of gratitude and said: "Thank you all so much today. I am sorry for causing you all trouble. Gu Dong thanks you all, thank you!"

Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, everyone dispersed on their own.

The village chief looked at He Guang and Gao and said earnestly, "You two really need to live a good life and stop messing around!"

"Gudong, you should be content with having such a good wife!" Widow Wu glanced at the shareholder and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

"Uh-huh……"

Gu Dong nodded silently.

Before leaving, Shen Ping also gave them a few words of advice. That was all that needed to be said. How they lived their lives depended on themselves.

Looking at Liao's strange expression just now, Shen Ping believed that she was still touched in her heart. Of course, it is difficult to change one's nature, and it is impossible to change it all at once.

But Shen Ping believed that, at least at this moment, Liao had realized some of the problems, and the rest would be left to time.

In the next few days, everyone is busy preparing to buy New Year's goods, clean the house, and get rid of the old and welcome the new.

Now the villagers have some cash in hand and food at home, and each of them has a smile on their face.

Time quickly arrived and it was New Year's Eve. Every household was busy chopping pork and making dumplings, and gathered together to have a reunion dinner.

Shen Ping asked the servants to have the reunion dinner with her and set the table in the yard. Everyone started to get busy in the afternoon.

Shen Ping asked Xu Hao and Wuchun to write couplets and then asked the servants to post them.

After all, being well-educated makes one different. Xu Hao pondered for a while, then took a big stroke and began to write in a flamboyant style.

Upper couplet: Welcome the spring, welcome happiness, welcome wealth, lower couplet: Receive blessings, receive wealth, receive peace, horizontal banner: Good luck in the new year

"Good!" Everyone applauded immediately.

Wuchun was not to be outdone. Although he had not studied as long as Xu Hao, he was very intelligent and soon wrote down a couplet.

The first line: People and wealth are prosperous and the house is safe; the second line: Fortune and longevity are both good and prosperous.

"Great!" Everyone was even more excited and unanimously suggested that this couplet be posted at the gate outside the courtyard to affirm Wuchun's knowledge.

Then, the two of them wrote a few pieces respectively and posted them on the houses. The servants also asked them to help write couplets and post them on the doorsteps. The two of them were busy and happy.

The maids were busy in the kitchen killing chickens to worship the gods and preparing food, and soon the New Year's Eve dinner was ready. Shen Ping asked Hong Gu to go to the old house to invite Zhang Tiezhu and the first and third wives to come for the New Year's Eve dinner.

The second house invited them to dinner, which had never happened before. Shen Ping's action made Zhang Tiezhu and others feel flattered.

"Madam, grandpa, I'm going to go back first. The New Year's Eve dinner is almost ready. Madam asked you to go over quickly." After saying that, Hong Gu bowed and left first.

Li looked at Zhang Tiezhu who was still standing there and glared at him: "Old man, why are you still standing there? Change your clothes quickly and let's go eat."

"Why do you need to change clothes?" Zhang Tiezhu frowned, not understanding.

"Oh, Dad, you don't know, but I heard that the prefect's wife is living in my eldest sister-in-law's house!" Jiang looked mysterious.

She and Wen had just heard what Hong Gu said, and had already sent their husbands back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Zhang Tiezhu's eyes widened: "Why change clothes? We are all farmers, she knows that. Look at you, you are so useless!"

Seeing how stubborn he was, Li couldn't persuade him so she just let him do what he wanted. But thinking back, he was right.

By the time everyone had put up the couplets, the New Year's Eve dinner was almost ready and everyone in the old house had arrived.

The New Year’s Eve dinner includes dumplings, white rice, and big steamed buns. As for the main dishes, there are braised pork with brown sauce, sweet and sour spare ribs, Dongpo pork, braised carp, braised pork elbow, spicy and sour shredded potato, braised lion head, marinated duck, soy sauce chicken, husband and wife lung slices, and pork rib carrot soup, a total of more than ten dishes.

Dozens of people sat at eight tables. Of course, servants and masters sat separately, and men and women sat at separate tables. Everyone was having a lively reunion dinner together.

These servants had never experienced this before. They were lucky to have a full meal. How could they find such good food?

Now, not only do they eat with their masters, but the meals are the same as well. It is like a dream to them, and everyone cherishes it especially.

Shen Ping, Dong, the first and second wives, and their own daughters-in-law sat together, and they also arranged for their mother-in-law, Li, to come along.

Da Hu and Er Hu looked at the large number of dishes and stretched out their hands to grab some food, but Jiang clapped her hands and said, "Look how impatient you are. Wait, your second aunt hasn't told you to eat yet!"

Shen Ping saw this and nodded secretly, approving of Jiang's educational method.

Knowing that everyone was hungry, he quickly greeted them: "Everyone, please feel free to eat."

After hearing Shen Ping's words, everyone started eating.

Mrs. Dong looked at the table full of dishes and said to Mrs. Li beside her with a smile, "Madam, come, let's eat. You are very old today and you look very healthy!"

Li smiled heartily: "I am seventy-three years old. I am old. My old bones are not like you young people. When it rains, my old bones hurt here and there."

Mrs. Dong raised her glass and said, "Madam, this is a good day. You are beginning to enjoy your life. Your son and daughter-in-law have done you a great service. I offer this glass of wine to you. I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains."

The director's words made Li so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
