Decision

　　Li Feng stood at the door, coldly looking at Zhang Lanhua, who was thrown to the ground by him with a frantic expression. His eyes full of anger swept around, and directly shut up the onlookers who wanted to persuade him to show mercy. 

      They didn’t quite understand why Zhang Lanhua, who was about to be divorced by his husband, came to Tang Chunming’s house to make trouble. From what he said, his husband’s divorce was related to Tang Chunming? Everyone didn’t believe it. 

      Recently Tang Chunming rarely walked around the village, and now the fierce Li Feng was guarding the door, so how could Tang Chunming have the opportunity to meet Zhang Lanhua’s husband?

　　Tang Chunming was not the kind of ger who liked to gossip, so Zhang Lanhua’s behavior of running over was a little puzzling.

　　But when they saw Li Feng grabbing Zhang Lanhua’s neck and throwing him aside as soon as he came out, some people felt that Li Feng had gone too far. He was a man after all, how could he be so rude to a ger? It was really hard for Ming’ger.

　　Zhang Xiu, who came over after hearing the noise, was also confused, Seeing that Dashan’s face looked a little strange, as if he knew something, he was not in the right mood to ask questions. No matter what, he could not let Zhang Lanhua disturb Ming’ger. 

   He spat at the crazy Zhang Lanhua and said, “How did Ming’ger provoke you again? Did he gossip about you? Or did he say bad-mouth you in front of your husband? Ming’ger has so many things to do at home and is pregnant.”

“He has never been the kind of person who would cause trouble, don’t think that just because Ming’ger is easy-going, you can just bully him, you should go and beg your husband instead!”

　　Zhang Lanhua was extremely angry, it was because Zhang Xiu had told others about his private meeting with Huang Sigou that his husband beat him up. That’s why he refused to meet with Huang Sigou, if it weren’t for Zhang Xiu, would he have fallen to this point? “It’s all your fault. It’s all you and Tang Chunming. You are so cruel…”

　　Before he finished his curse, a dark shadow loomed in front of him, it was Li Feng again. Zhang Lanhua had never felt so frightened when he had his neck choked just now, he shrank back in fear and screamed at the top of his lungs, “Ah…”

　　”If I hear you repeat something bad about Ming’ger…”

   Zhang Lanhua suddenly felt as if his whole body was trapped in an ice hole and he couldn’t stop shaking, his teeth were chattering and a scream was stuck in his throat. “I’m sure the news of what you did will spread throughout the village. By then, it won’t just be being divorced.”

　　Before this incident, Zhang Lanhua had never thought Huang Sigou would betray him. It would not benefit Huang Sigou if he betrayed him, because Huang Sigou was the one who was guilty and he did not expect that Huang Sigou would be arrested before he even touched anyone.

   How could a country ger understand the alertness of a fierce horse who came from the battlefield? Huang Sigou brought some things to deal with dogs, but they were useless.

    Huang Sigou honestly explained everything from beginning to end because he couldn’t endure Li Feng’s methods and Doctor Hu’s bone-setting process. Huang Sigou, who could not bear it, just wanted to quickly explain it clearly to end the pain.

　　If they hadn’t met Li Feng, a man who looked fierce on the outside but put his ger in his heart, and was not bound by worldly constraints, perhaps their plan would have succeeded.

    The humiliated ger would either resist to the end, which might result in two deaths, or succumb to a degenerate like Huang Sigou. No matter which situation it was, it would end in tragedy.

　　For this reason, Li Feng was still not reconciled in this matter and that only Huang Sigou would be punished while the ger who came up with the vicious idea behind the scenes would stay in Pingshan Village.

  The village head also felt that such a ger was too evil and it was not a good thing to keep him in Pingshan Village. He told Li Feng that his husband could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and if he knew what his ger had done behind his back, he would definitely not keep him. That was why Li Feng agreed to the head of the village’s decision.

　　”Get out!” The murderous aura was directed towards Zhang Lanhua alone, Li Feng was trying his best to control the murderous intent in his heart.

　　In the eyes of the villagers, Li Feng at this moment looked like a ferocious monster, and the scar on his brow looked hideous as if it was filled with blood. Standing next to Li Feng, Dashan couldn’t help but feel his legs go weak. When others saw this, they told themselves never to provoke this evil spirit in the future, as people like Zhang Lanhua would only seek their death.

　　Zhang Lanhua curled up into a ball and shivered, at this time, another person came in. His husband heard others say that Zhang Lanhua ran to Tang Chunming’s house to cause trouble.

    The village head and others did not spread it outside, his husband thought the village head had given him face. He only hated Zhang Lanhua, who was shameless and vicious, and now he dared to come to Tang Chunming’s house to make trouble. He didn’t expect the person lying next to him in the past would be such a poisonous snake.

　　”Brother Li Feng, I’m sorry, this bitch has caused you trouble, I will send him back to his mother’s home. I will never be soft-hearted and keep such a person.”

  Fearing that Li Feng would blame him, the man hurriedly apologized to Li Feng. Originally, he was very proud of being able to marry such an outstanding ger. Even if this ger had some bad habits, he would turn a blind eye to it as long as he was willing to live with him. 

    Even ignoring those earlier rumors, as long as he stopped flirting with Huang Sigou, he could tolerate it. But now, after listening to what the village head told him about this bitch, he not only continued to associate with Huang Sigou but also gave such a vicious idea.

  He is also a ger, doesn’t he know that any ger who marries such a scoundrel like Huang Sigou will have a bad life, and it was pushing people into the pit of fire?

　　He also knew that this ger was usually haughty and liked to hear people say good things about him, but he didn’t expect him to be so cocky that he would even hold a grudge against others if they lived a better life than him. He could tolerate minor faults, but he couldn’t tolerate vicious thoughts, so he must divorce him this time.

　　”It is because we are fellow villagers that Li Feng didn’t do anything too extreme,” Dashan stepped forward and said to the man, “As long as this ger doesn’t show up in front of Li Feng and Brother Ming again with the intention of harming others, Li Feng won’t embarrass people who have nothing to do with him.”

　　”That’s right, that’s right, I will send this bitch away now and will never let him bring shame to our village again. Brother Li Feng, Brother Dashan, I’m sorry, I will send him away right now.” 

    He gave a fist bump to Li Feng and Dashan before turning around and picking up Zhang Lanhua, who was still curled up and trembling, and prepared to call a bullock cart to send him away directly. At this time, no one noticed Zhang Lanhua’s abnormal condition.

　　After everyone left, Dashan bravely patted Li Feng on the shoulder and advised, “Don’t take it too seriously, Ming’ger is more important, don’t let him worry too much.”

　　Li Feng wiped his face, and when he looked up again, all the fierceness in his body was gone. He forced a smile and said, “I know, don’t tell Ming’ger about this. We’ll choose a day, and you must come over for dinner.”

　　”That’s good, we will definitely come, Congratulations.” Dashan then smiled. It was better to settle it earlier to avoid the emergence of people like Huang Sigou who dared to make troublesome plans.

　　Li Feng returned to the yard, and Zhang Xiu muttered to his husband, “What on earth is going on? Zhang Lanhua looked like he wanted to eat someone, could it be that Zhang Lanhua was involved in Huang Sigou’s affair?”

　　Seeing Zhang Xiu’s eyes inquisitive, Dashan could only say, “Let’s go back and talk about it, Brothr Feng didn’t mention it because he didn’t want others to know and gossip about Ming’ger.”

　　”Then forget it,” Zhang Xiu also got the affirmation, he guessed that Zhang Lanhua must have intervened in this matter, and might be the one who instigated it. Since he had known it, there was no need to know the details. “Since Li Feng doesn’t allow you to tell me, don’t tell me. Anyway, Zhang Lanhua, that bitch, has tasted the bitter consequences.”

 “He really thought that no one would know about the bad things he did, he really had to ruin his peaceful life.”

 Otherwise, if he knew, he couldn’t help but run to Ming’ger to tell him, he was a person who couldn’t keep things to himself.

　　The two men walked back while talking, Dashan was very satisfied, although his ger had a strong personality, he would never have those vicious thoughts. If it were a ger like that, Dashan could not help but tremble in his heart, he would also divorce such a ger. He had no sympathy for Zhang Lanhua.

　　As for the people in the village, they also guessed many things from the scene at the door. Huang Sigou’s night theft must be related to Zhang Lanhua. Everyone said it was a good thing for him to divorce, he was already married but she still flirts with a bald man like Huang Sigou. It’s a pity that he used to say that Tang Chunming flirted with a wild man.

　　Some people even mentioned the incident of Zhang Lanhua and Huang Sigou meeting in the past, it was normal for a ger to meet other men outside. There was no rule for gers to stay home and not go out to work, but right now, people would still make up stories about him, even if there was nothing wrong.

    The more they talked, the more they felt that Zhang Lanhua’was really mean, Although his husband would beat people when he was unhappy, he was really good to Zhang Lanhua.

   Otherwise, he would not be happy in the past few years after he got married, and his man would not say anything and still provide her with good food and drink. Otherwise, how could he have so much free time to run around the village and gossip about other people’s families?

　Such a situation was really a blessing!

　The villagers talked endlessly about Huang Sigou being expelled and Zhang Lanhua’s divorce. Some people were unsympathetic and wanted to step on their own feet.

   However, many families sympathized with the little ger who Huang Sigou’s family had abandoned. Sometimes they brought some old clothes left by their children to the village head’s house, and sometimes they got a few eggs that were originally intended to be sold or some coarse grains that they saved for their consumption.

　　Tang Chunming was not surprised by such things, although the villagers were sometimes ignorant enough to kill someone with a casual gossip, they were still straightforward most of the time. In his previous life, after his mother passed away, his father didn’t care about him at first.

    He also ate at many people’s homes in the village, some people would gossip about his family and then turn around and grab a handful of fruit and put it in his hand, telling him to go to their house to eat. Most people really didn’t have the intention to harm others deliberately.

　　So even though the child cannot be adopted now, it is not difficult to take better care of him considering his pity and the fact that the Huang family rejected him.

    Except for some particularly petty people who will deliberately talk about the bad things done by Huang Sigou and the Huang couple, saying that like father, like child, and that you should be careful not to raise an ungrateful child. however, such words are not uncommon.

　　Tang Chunming also sorted out some old clothes that A-Lin couldn’t wear. The child was a little older than A-Lin, but as A-Lin had gotten healthier in the past six months and had grown a lot, Tang Chunming simply took out the old clothes and the new clothes that were too small before he could wear them and gave them away.

    However, Zhang Xiu, who saw this, intercepted some of them and kept some of them, saying that he didn’t know how to live and the baby in his belly was about to come out, so shouldn’t these clothes be kept? Even if he had money, he shouldn’t waste them like this. Some of them had only been worn a few times.

　　”I see you haven’t touched needle and thread many times, have you prepared small clothes and other things? If you don’t have time, we can help you make them. Also, your engagement date with Li Feng has been decided, so you should at least make some clothes for him. Don’t just focus on the vegetable garden in the yard and making money.” Zhang Xiu glanced at Tang Chunming.

　　”Aren’t there ready-made clothes by tailors in town? Besides, if you pay some money, there will be people in the village to help you make it.” Tang Chunming said unconsciously, touching his nose. 

  He endured it when he was asked to sew a quilt or something, after all, he had to sleep, and he had already made the quilt cover, so he didn’t have to take it apart every time to wash it, which was very convenient.

　　”Hey, how can you be so lazy? How can the things made by others be as thoughtful as the ones you make? Even Li Feng would be happy wearing them. Hurry up, I will come and watch you after I deliver the things, and see if you dare to be lazy again!”

   Zhang Xiu glared at Tang Chunming fiercely, turned around, and left Tang Chunming’s house with a bunch of things, including a few kilograms of fine white flour and some snacks that A-Lin and the others had saved.

　　Many people have visited the village head’s house these past two days. After seeing the things Zhang Xiu brought and learning that Tang Chunming had sent them, they all started praising Tang Chunming. You have to know that this child’s relatives did bad things to Tang Chunming but didn’t care and sent so many good things. It’s tough to say that Tang Chunming has lost his conscience because he made money.

　　”What should we do with this child?” Zhang Xiu told Shen Fulang, “Do you have to keep raising him like this forever? Is there anyone in the village who is willing to keep him? Or another village will do.” Raising him like this forever is not a good idea.

　　The child is now asleep after taking the medicine, Doctor Hu said that the child should get more sleep, otherwise such a child might not grow up. Shen Fulang  couldn’t bear to neglect him: “What else can I do? If I don’t look after this child, Doctor Hu also said that he won’t live long.”

    A lot of money has been spent on buying medicine these two days. “I’m afraid no one in this village will want him, I’ll slowly look for a good family when the child recovers.” He has to choose a good family that will not mistreat the child before he can entrust him to a family with confidence.

　　Who would not say that the Huang family was not at fault when seeing this child now? Those who previously thought that the village head was too cruel could no longer say such things after the Huang family threw the child away. When it comes to cruelty, who can be more vicious than the old couple of the Huang family?

　　”Well, it’s a good thing that there are still many kind families in the village, otherwise who would care for a child who his relatives don’t even want.” Zhang Xiu sighed.

  If the little child met a kind-hearted family, it would be good for him to be abandoned by the old couple of the Huang family.

　　”Don’t talk about this anymore, is Brother Ming okay? I’ve been too busy these past two days and haven’t had time to visit him. I don’t know if what happened that night has affected him. I only heard Doctor Hu say it’s not a serious matter, but I’m still worried.” Shen Fulang patted Zhang Xiu’s hand and changed the subject.

　　”You still don’t know what kind of person he is,” Zhang Xiu said with a smile, “He eats and sleeps well and doesn’t take anything to heart, Li Feng helps him to take care of the problems outside. Now he is getting lazier every day, I even scolded him when I came out.”

　　Shen Fulang was surprised, he also thought what Zhang Xiu said about Ming’er was true, as soon as Zhang Xiu mentioned it, Shen Fulang couldn’t help laughing. He knew that Ming’ger had suffered too much in the Zhao family in the past, and now it was time for him to enjoy himself.

　　Not only did people send gifts to the village head’s home, but although the gifts were not much, they were a token of their thoughtfulness after all.

    Some people also wanted to send gifts to Tang Chunming, on the one hand, it was to calm him down, and on the other hand, they wanted to please him. They hoped that Ming’ger would not care about the past and would come to buy the vegetable seedlings in the future. They were counting on making money from Ming’ger’s help.

　　However, Li Feng had a bad reputation, anyone who wanted to see Ming’ger had to pass through Li Feng first, and those families were scared just thinking about it. 

   Tang Chunming was not easy to meet, but it didn’t matter to others. So, a strange phenomenon appeared. They visited those families who were close to Ming’ger and asked them to send things to his home. Zhang Xiu’s place had the most people, Wang Mo’s place also had people, and even Uncle Zhao’s family had people. 

    Uncle Zhao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry after hearing what those people came for. Feng Xiaozi was easy to talk to those with no bad intentions. Didn’t they see that several children were not afraid of him? Of course, except when they didn’t finish their homework.

　　The older you get, the more you can see things clearly, Uncle Zhao immediately gave the stuff to the Tang family. Tang Chunming couldn’t refuse to accept them. If he rejected these things, those people would overthink, wondering if Tang Chunming was still fussing over the past and would not want to sell the seedlings to them in the future. Only by accepting the things could they feel at ease.

　　What’s also interesting is that some people really care about Tang Chunming, saying that Li Feng is too fierce. Not to mention that the gers will be scared when they see him, even though some men don’t dare to provoke Li Feng now. Can such a fierce man really love his ger? The situation at Zhang Lanhua’s house is still there, and they are afraid that Li Feng will take it out on Ming’er and beat him at home if he is unhappy in the future.

　　They were truly thinking about Tang Chunming, but when Tang Chunming heard this, he didn’t know what to say, the person relaying the words didn’t know whether to laugh or not. They knew the inside story and didn’t know what would happen in the future, but right now Li Feng was reluctant even to touch Ming’er. They couldn’t believe that Li Feng would beat his ger like other men in the future.

　　Tang Chunming didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, now these people started to care about his family’s domestic violence problem. Well, he didn’t approve of domestic violence either, but he thought he was a man at heart.

     Could he beat him? He wouldn’t tolerate him, and would quickly kick him out. This was because Li Feng’s fighting power was too high, Tang Chunming thought he wouldn’t lose face if he couldn’t beat him, but he had the money in his hands, so he wasn’t afraid of others bullying him.

　　Li Feng was in a perfect mood and was not affected too much by Huang Sigou’s affairs, Ming Ge’er had already handed him his engagement letter and asked him to send it to the matchmaker for horoscope matching. The result was of course what he wanted. The matchmaker gave him money and said many nice words to him.

   Li Feng did not show it on his face but was very happy in his heart. He picked the nearest auspicious day among those the matchmaker gave and invited people out for dinner to make this matter a formality.

　　There were only five days left, and Li Feng did not hide the fact that the marriage had been settled after the exchange of the engagement cards. Those who wanted to persuade Ming’ger to change his mind had to shut up and put on a different mood, hoping that Tang Chunming would live a good life. Only when he was well would everyone else be well too.

　　After notifying all the people he knew, including those in Zhenshan Village, Li Feng began to make arrangements. Although he would only have a simple meal with some people and not hold a big event, Li Feng prepared for it as if it were a big event. Occasionally, he would drag back a truckload of things from the county town. People who met him would boldly say congratulations, and Li Feng would respond in a good mood.

　　The Li family has been silent, except for the unwilling Li Conggen family, no one else has intervened. Who dares to intervene in the affairs of the fierce Li Feng now?

　　Before that day came, someone came from the government office in the county town, and the village head came out to receive him. The villagers were curious about why someone came from the government office at this time. As a result, when they asked, the village exploded again, covering up the previous incident between the Huang family and Zhang Lanhua.

　　The fierce Li Feng wants to buy a mountain! And he bought a barren mountain!

　　He spent several hundred taels of silver to buy a barren mountain, which ended up in Ming’ger’s name!

　　Who said that the fierce Li Feng didn’t love his ger? If he didn’t love his ger, would he spend hundreds of taels of silver to throw it into the water? Before seeing the advantages, most people thought Li Feng was throwing silver into the water to please Ming’ger, which made them feel heartbroken when they heard it.

　　Some families are so heartbroken that they feel like they are bleeding.

　　”Did he spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a useless barren mountain?” Li Conggen repeatedly asked the person who told him the news, his eyes bulging and his breath chaotic, as if the person in front of him was his enemy.

　　”Of course, the government has come and the land deed is about to be issued. No one can lie to you. Tsk tsk, I never thought your nephew would be so rich. With a few hundred taels of silver, he could buy many acres of land and become rich. If you two had treated Feng Xiaozi better when he came back, maybe this money would have gone into your family, don’t you think?”

　　This person is also ill-intentioned, he deliberately pokes at the sore spot of Li Conggen’s family. The more unhappy the Li Conggen family is, the happier the person talking is. This is also because Li Conggen’s family has always used the Li family’s big surname to suppress other surnames.

   They always brag about the Li family, the village head is also his relative. In this village, only his family has the final say. Of course, some people can’t stand it, but now they finally get their revenge. Brother Feng would rather throw the silver into the water than give it to his uncle, it makes people happy.

　　He collapsed when he got home from Gen’s house after holding his breath,  his heart bleeding with pain. When his husband returned, they had a big fight, accusing each other of not acting that way. Little did they know that if one of them had disagreed, how could Li Feng be sent away, and why would he be hateful after returning?

　　The members of the Li family, who had turned a blind eye to Li Feng’s affairs because of his bad reputation, could no longer sit still. They had wanted to intervene before due to the instigation of the Gen family but had given up when they saw how Li Feng acted. But now, without the advice of the elders, the things these young people did looked outrageous.

　　They did not come to Li Feng but ran to the village head because they saw the village head talking and laughing with Li Feng and were not afraid of this vicious man. The village head did not know whether to be angry or laugh at the intentions of these people and said: “Feng Xiaozi earned this money with his life. How he wants to spend it is his own business, if others want to interfere, they can do it themselves. I won’t be the bad guy to avoid being hated by others.” 

     They were embarrassed and went back in disgrace one by one.

　　At this moment, Tang Chunming looked at the land deed he had obtained and smiled happily. These hundreds of acres of land were all his. How could the people here understand his excitement?

    Thinking about the situation on Earth, the land is all state-owned, and private individuals can only contract it for a certain number of years, but here, these lands can truly be regarded as private property. Suddenly, he felt a sense of generosity like a local rich man.

　”Keep it well, all the land and other things you buy in the future will be under your name.” Li Feng felt delighted when he saw Ming’ger’s genuine happiness and smug smile.

    He said this without thinking but did not regret it after saying it. Instead, it seemed natural. He was in charge of external affairs, and Ming’ger was in charge of internal affairs.

　　”Don’t worry, I will double this money.” Tang Chunming said proudly.

   He didn’t take Li Feng’s things for nothing, these things would definitely create more wealth in his hands. Otherwise, it would make him look very embarrassed.

　　”Okay, I’ll wait.” Li Feng had a smile in his eyes, and he didn’t look like a fierce man at all. “Yu Mu may come over in two days but don’t worry about him. He will stay at my place then.”

    After setting a date, he sent a letter there, Yu Mu would definitely come over when he got the news, and then he could instruct Yu Mu to do some things. He would not be satisfied by just driving the Huang family out of Pingshan Village.

　　”Got it.” Tang Chunming responded casually, his mind still focused on the joy of becoming a big landlord and making more money. His attitude made Li Feng happier, and his eyes finally didn’t light up whenever Yu Mu was mentioned.

　　Yu Mu, who was on his way to Pingshan Village after receiving the letter, suddenly sneezed loudly on horseback. His companions laughed, Is General Yu Qian sick? Should he still drink the wine?

　　Yu Mu immediately straightened his back and shouted, “Nonsense, how can I not drink the boss’s wine? Besides, it’s been a long time since I had Brother Ming’s cooking. Haha, I must eat enough this time.”

　　”Yu Da’ge, who exactly is this Brother Ming you’re talking about? How could he have won the boss’s heart as soon as he returned? But the boss doesn’t even like… that ger.” The others were curious and wanted to fly to Pingshan Village to see what kind of person the future in-law was.

　　”Haha, you’ll know for yourself when you get there, but let me tell you first if you scare Brother Ming and the boss comes after you, don’t involve me, go!” The horses ran very fast on the official road, and a group of people passed by quickly.

　　It was an auspicious day; the sun shone brightly outside, and the Tang family was filled with joy inside and outside.

　　Little A-Lin ran around to entertain his little guests. My mother said that Alin was the host and he should treat the children well and let them have fun. After a few months, he had lost his initial timidity and had a dazzling big smile on his face.

　　”A-Lin, your Grandma and uncle have arrived, Uncle Feng is bringing them here.” Ermao ran in from outside and shouted.

　　A-Lin immediately slid down from the stool and ran out without even bothering to greet the other children. The children from the same village who came to play looked at him enviously and followed him out.

   Each of them had a handful of snacks in their hands, but those were given to them by A-Lin, not their own.

　　Xiaodai stumbled along behind, as for Xiaohua, Xiaohei, and the two big white geese, all stayed in the new yard. After all, Xiaohua looked much more ferocious now, and they were not allowed to come out today as there were many people at home.

　　The carriage stopped at the door. Tang Chunrong, who had specially asked for leave, helped his mother down from the carriage with a happy face. Wang Ying also rarely had a stern face, he changed into new clothes and looked festive.

　　Naturally, someone went to call Tang Chunming, since his stepmother was coming, of course, he had to go out to greet him. Tang Chunming, who was pregnant, came to the door and smiled at Li Feng first, then turned to his stepmother and brother: “Mom, A Rong, you’re here, come in quickly.”

　　Wang Ying dusted off his clothes and looked up at his stepson. He had changed a lot. He was able to catch a fierce man who was rumored to be very powerful by outsiders.

    Wang Ying felt that he had to admire his stepson, everyone in the town and the village knew he had bought a barren mountain for hundreds of taels. Although there were rumors outside, he hoped to see his stepson do something different.

　　If his stepson can continue to be as capable as he is now, he doesn’t think it’s a bad thing. His stepson is now interested in restoring relations with him, and he will be able to help his son in the future. He only has this one son, so he is willing to come to his stepson’s home, whom he disliked before, to save face for A Rong.

　　”You should be careful too, it doesn’t matter if it’s inconvenient for you to go out with a big belly.” Since there were outsiders around, Wang Ying spoke softly, and there was no sign that the two of them had conflicts with each other before.

　　Tang Chunming could guess what his stepmother was thinking and was very happy about it. He smiled and said, “It’s rare for Mother to come here, and I’m not too tired to move yet. A-Lin, come and meet the grandmother and uncle.”

　　”Grandma, uncle,” A-Lin called out in a sweet voice.

　　Later, Li Feng and Tang Chunrong looked at the two affectionate people and couldn’t help but look at each other, then turned their heads away at the same time and twitched their lips. 

   Tang Chunrong realized that both his mother and brother were good at acting. If he didn’t know his mother well, he would think that his mother treated his brother with the same attitude as him.

　　Entering the yard, you can still hear the discussions of people outside: “Look, even the stepmother from Zhenshan Village is here, which means that those who say that Brother Ming  has no support from his mother’s family are wrong.”

 “Besides, the little man has a good relationship with Ming’ger and often comes to see him. After a few years when he grows up, he will definitely still have a close relationship with Ming’ger.”

　　”Li Feng has personally invited them, which is really a great honor, I would have come if I were in their place.”

　　Wang Ying paid attention to everything in the yard when he entered, the last time he came, there was nothing there. It looked desolate and bleak, he didn’t expect it to change so much in just a few months.

    The fruit trees in the yard were all in bloom, making the yard look more like a farmyard than a courtyard. Wang Ying didn’t bother to be polite with his stepson, he asked Tang Chunming to go into the house to greet other guests.

     He then asked A Rong to take him to the new yard, he often heard A Rong say that his stepson grew vegetables well, and he frequently ate the vegetables that A Rong brought back from here. 

     This time he came here to see it for himself, his stepson’s words implied that he wanted him to grow vegetables with him. If he rejected such a good intention, he would really be at a loss for money.

　　Tang Chunming was very happy that his stepmother did not treat him as an outsider, he asked A Rong to care for his mother and look after the children in the yard. He also asked Da Mao and Er Mao to look after them, because even if A Lin was the little master, he was still too young.

　　Although Tang Chunming is a good cook, no one lets him cook on a day like today, Shen Fulang, Zhang Xiu, and Wang Mo have all come here early in the morning to busy themselves. Uncle Zhao also asked his son, Xiao Zhuzi’s mother, to go and help.

    So Tang Chunming is now a big idler, he can’t sleep today, and chatting with those those aunts almost suffocates him, every word they say can be related to the baby in his belly and the matter of having a baby, he feels so depressed.

　　”What’s wrong? Are you tired? Why don’t you go inside and rest?” After parking the carriage and settling Jingfeng down, Li Feng came over to support Tang Chunming and noticed his expression.

　　”It’s okay, it’s just a headache, just get today’s work done  quickly.” Tang Chunming waved his hand.

　　Li Feng’s face darkened, If no outsiders were around, he could still think about how to vent his anger on Ming’ger, whether to bite his nose or mouth. But now he could only hold it in his heart. Today was their big day, although it was not a formal wedding, it was also a formal day. There was no joy on Ming’ger’s face, did it mean that he was unhappy?

　　Even a tough guy would have complicated thoughts when faced with such a thing.

　　”Forget it, I’ll go take a look in the kitchen, you go and talk to Dashan and the others.” Tang Chunming was trying to find something to do and didn’t notice Li Feng’s dark face.

　　”Okay, be careful.” Although he had a dark face, Li Feng still carefully sent the person to the kitchen and handed him over to Zhang Xiu and the others. His cautious attitude made the people in the kitchen laugh. If outsiders saw this scene, who would still say that Li Feng was a fierce man and a man who didn’t care about his ger?

　　The Tang family was bustling, but the Zhao family could no longer see the joy they had when Zhao Laosan passed the imperial examination. Granma Zhao was still lying on the Kang, he could have sat up, but when news of Tang Chunming’s affairs came one after another, he felt unhappy and lay down again.

　　”Mother, I want to go to the Tang family too. I want to eat meat and see the ponies, Mother, please take me there!” Zhao Dong kept making noise at home.

    His glorious days were over, and the children in the village were unwilling to play with him anymore, they were all attracted by the ponies of the Tang family. Zhao Dong wanted to go too, but no one took him, he was afraid of the fierce Li Feng. He had suffered at the hands of Li Feng and still remembered it.

　　He could only ask his mother to take him there, in the past, as long as he begged and rolled around hard, his mother would always agree to his request. Today, he ran out to find someone to play with, but those people had all gone to Tang’s house.

      Some people came out with handfuls of snacks to show off to him. Some people even said, “Zhao Dong, Brother Ming is going to marry the fierce man Li Feng. He is no longer your second uncle, you can never eat anything from Brother Ming’s  house again.”

    After showing off to Zhao Dong for a while, Zhao Dong got so angry that his mouth was crooked and they ran away laughing. After all, Zhao Dong had boasted to them before that their family often had meat to eat, and their second uncle would give his meat to his family, and all the good things in his second uncle’s house were theirs.

    Adults all thought that way, and children thought so too.

　 Since his second uncle passed away, Zhao Dong has never had a good life, it was hard to live without meat. Now seeing that others could eat the food at his second uncle’s house, but he had nothing.

   He felt uncomfortable, in his opinion, these snacks and the pony at his second uncle’s house that was sought after by those children should belong to him, Zhao Dong, didn’t his grandma and mother say so?

　　”Mother, didn’t you say that Second Uncle will listen to you? I want to eat meat, I want snacks, and I want the pony. Mom, take me there, I want all of them, woo.. woo…” He rolled on the ground, his chubby body was now much thinner.

　　Zhao Mei also heard people’s discussion outside, and envy and longing appeared in his eyes. He envied A Lin so much, A Lin’s life used to be as hard as his, but now who wouldn’t be envious? But he could only hide in the dark and watch secretly. He would have to go hungry if he didn’t finish his work.

　　”Get up, you little rascal, if you have the guts, go to his house and make trouble. He is not your second uncle now, he will become a member of the Li family. Everything in his house will also belong to the Li family, it’s your father’s fault for being incompetent and unable to earn money. Go find your father!” Wang Chunhua was so angry that he even scolded his son, whom he had always doted on.

　　”I don’t want to get up, I want to make a scene, you said my second uncle would never disobey you. I want to make a scene…I want to eat meat…I want a pony…”

　　Zhao Dong refused to get up until his wish was fulfilled, he rolled over and cried loudly. Added to Wang Chunhua’s yelling, Grandma Zhao, who was lying in the room with no one to serve him, became very angry. He got up from the Kang and shouted outside: “You are asking for death, you unlucky star you have been crying and making a fuss at home all morning. I am not dead yet, are you hoping that I will die soon so that you can be satisfied?…” His yelling didn’t show any sign of illness.

　　Zhao Laoliu had already gone out, and Zhao Daniu was nowhere to be seen. Wang Chunhua was no less angry than Grandma Zhao, but he had to swallow his anger.

    He grabbed his son’s ears and pulled him up, looking towards Tang Chunming’s house with hatred. As his son thought, he always regarded everything in Zhao Dahu’s house as his, and at least he could get a small portion from Grandma Zhao. But hearing about, the hundreds of taels of silver, was enough for him to eat meat for a lifetime, he felt no more comfortable than Li Conggen’s family.

　　”Village head, village head…” A man crawled in from outside and shouted, “There are soldiers outside, soldiers riding big horses are coming to our Pingshan Village!” The sudden arrival of soldiers frightened the villagers. They thought that these soldiers coming to their village would be bad and no good.

    In the past, every time the soldiers came to the village, they were to collect taxes under various names. It was only when the current emperor came to the throne that their lives became better.

　　”Soldiers?” The village head was sitting in the main hall, talking to Li Feng and the others, smoking a pipe. He was a little shocked when he heard this. He thought carefully and realized that he hadn’t heard anything about what happened in the government office recently.

   He calmed himself down and stood up and said, “Don’t panic, Feng Xiaozi, go out with uncle to have a look, don’t ruin today’s good day.”

　　”Well, uncle, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen.” Li Feng frowned. He calculated that Yu Mu should be here soon, but it was so sudden, was this kid here?

　　When he walked out with the village head together with other men in the village to take a look, before others could see clearly, how could Li Feng not recognize that the leader was none other than that bastard Yu Mu? Well, they actually dared to put on airs on this trip, Li Feng narrowed his eyes.
