Chapter 490: Not Kin, But Like Family!

and his business has gone bankrupt, this is what they get for their actions!"Having said that, he got up and walked away, cursing: “Whoever can cure it, let them cure it! I'm powerless! I didn't ask f...When she woke up, Hui'niang and the others had already left. The old lady was folding her clothes, one by one.

Jia Yin rubbed her eyes and got up, only to find that the string of beads and ring she had given to Grandma were already on her hand...

"Funiu'er is awake, are you hungry Grandma will get you something delicious," Li Laotai heard the sound and turned her head to hug her chubby granddaughter.

Seeing her shake the beads in her hand, Old Mrs. Li chuckled and said, “Silly girl, grandma knows you better than anyone! You ran to find Mr. Wen before, didn't you Did you give him something nice as a gift Then you regretted it afterwards, didn't you You little money miser!”

Jia Yin blushed and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, wriggling and squirming.

That's embarrassing!

Her little schemes always escape Grandma's eagle eye!

Lao Li was almost knocked over by her granddaughter. She quickly chuckled helplessly and pleaded, "Okay, okay, Grandma won't say anything. Money-obsessed girl! Grandma is old and can't wear pearls anymore. Keep these two, don't let your grandma work so hard for nothing."

Jia Yin blushed even deeper and quickly took out another gold bangle from the space, a solid one, which was also her most treasured possession. She then placed it on her grandmother's wrist.

"Grandma wears gold, I wear pearls!" Jiayin pulled on Grandma's hand, not letting her take it off.

Li Laotai burst into laughter and didn't refuse any longer.

If the granddaughter is willing, just give it to her. In the future, when she passes away, everything will also be left to her granddaughter.

Thus, the two generations of grandparents and grandchildren happily went down to eat.

Early the next day, everyone in the village was like during Chinese New Year, all wearing new clothes.

The school was also closed for vacation, and the mischievous boys ran all over the village, as happy as a bunch of crazy rabbits!

Mr. Wen was marrying into the Cui family, and as he was leaving in the afternoon, he proactively went to their estate.

So, the banquet was arranged for noon in the village.

Yesterday, the makeshift stove was already set up, and the elaborate dishes were simmered. Today, we just need to prepare some cold dishes and stir-fries.

The village women were not in a hurry either. While helping Tao Hongying with her work, they chatted and laughed idly.

The men went to the schoolhouse and fetched tables, chairs, bowls, chopsticks, helping wash and arrange them. They also chopped firewood and carried water, all with smiles on their faces.

Mr. Wen wore a bright red silk robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and rarely smiled so brightly.

The trace of melancholy that always lingered in his eyes and brows has vanished clean, replaced by an absolute clarity, like the sky after a rain shower.

He originally had several classmates who were also there yesterday, but at this time only Mr. Peng arrived in a hurry.

Although Mr. Peng has some flaws, as a friend, he is impeccable.

A few days ago, he ran around tirelessly, doing everything he could to rescue his friend.

Nowadays, people are all averse to in-laws marrying into their families and are unwilling to attend wedding banquets. He was the only one who came to offer congratulations.

Mr. Wen personally ushered him into the house and bowed deeply, "Brother Peng, thank you for your efforts to save me. Your life-saving grace is unforgettable!"

"Shao Yuan, please don't be so polite." Mr. Peng quickly helped him up and smiled. "Things were really dangerous before, I was just running around haphazardly, I didn't really help much."

"Your safe return is thanks to Lord Bo, Master Liu, and Lady Cui. Haha, no, now I should call you sister-in-law!"

Mr. Wen flushed, and they asked him to sit down and have some tea.

Mr. Peng couldn't help but be happy to see him so cheerful. "Shao Yuan, don't worry about what outsiders say. You live your own life and be happy. Even if others praise you to the skies, if you suffer yourself, no one else can help."

Mr. Wen nodded, “I thought the same way, so, when I asked Uncle Liu to be the officiant that day, it wasn’t just a moment of anger.”

"My master treated me like his own child, and Jin Rou also showed me deep affection and loyalty. I have longed for this day for over a decade, and no one can stop me from pursuing the good life I desire!"

"That's right!" Mr. Peng laughed heartily, "Today's a happy day for you, so I'll let you off the hook. Otherwise, I would have made you drink with me."

As they were talking, Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru also returned from Lu'an.

The dining hall was packed with people, and Wu Sanniang and the others couldn't get back.

However, Lao San Li made the decision to give all the children a day off. From Jia Ren to Mao Ge'er, no one was left behind, they all came back!

Jia'an and Jiaxi are the kings of mischief. As soon as they entered and saw their elders, they led their little band of troublemakers "into formation" and set off to cause chaos everywhere.

Meow Meow trailed behind the group, his voice high-pitched and thin, acting as their little tail.

Li Ge'er's heart felt like it was overgrown with grass, and he also wanted to go along.

But now he was a schoolboy, and this was his first time back after passing the exams, so he calmed himself down and stayed by his elder brother's side, accompanying the elders in their conversation.

Jia Huan had already made arrangements at the restaurant this morning. Now, as soon as he got home, he plunged straight into the kitchen, helping out while chatting with everyone about how bustling and lively both the restaurant and the school cafeteria were.

Thus, just one family member is missing.

Li Lao Tai looked around and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The elderly are just greedy. They have dozens of grandchildren and if they're missing one, they'll feel dissatisfied.

Perhaps the old man up in heaven knew how lively things were today and didn't want the old woman to be unhappy.

Just as the lord, Li Lao Si, and Li Yong all rushed back from the pier, Jia Yi and Liu Yang, two young lads, unexpectedly followed behind.

It turns out they came back with the fleet and planned to return to the village to send a message. They met up with the main force on the way and returned together.

Li Laotai's face immediately broke into a smile!

Jiayin was so happy she went crazy. She sat on her father's shoulders for a while, and her stepfather had her lie down on his back. Her brother was trying to find some good stuff there…

Just like a chubby, happy sunflower seed rolling around in the crowd.

Li La'er, Li Zhensheng, the village head, Zhao Shu, and several others, as well as Liu Biatou, Zhang Shenyi, and even Mr. Jiang from the classmates' hall, all went into the room.

As people gathered together, it was naturally lively again.

When the sun was high in the sky, the feast was set.

All the men, women and children of Xincun, even the headmen of Dahuai Tree, Wangzhuang, and Xiaowangzhuang, brought dozens of villagers along with them. Together with the dozen or so personal soldiers brought back by the Marquis, they all sat together, happily drinking wedding wine.

Mr. Wen was generous and toasted everyone, which earned him cheers and blessings from the crowd.

Mr. Wen, a hundred years of harmony and early birth to precious children!

"Mr. Wen, may your life be harmonious and prosperous, and may all be well with you!"

"Mr. Wen, may you grow old together with your partner and be united forever!"

Mr. Wen and his party politely thanked everyone, their smiles never fading.

After living for over thirty years, he finally got married! He finally achieved his wish!

Although he lacked the blessings of biological parents and siblings, he had so many non-biological relatives bustling about for his wedding, rejoicing in his happiness.

How lucky he is!

Inside the courtyard of Li's manor, the air was filled with the aroma of wine and food, and laughter and chatter echoed through the halls.

But as they walked along the newly paved official road, a carriage turned onto it. Inside the carriage were Mr. Wen and his son, Wen Junyan!

For the past two days, they had been reflecting at home, and they had thought enough to understand.

Although it is unknown how the Li, Liu, and Cui families managed to get the Emperor and Dali Temple to cooperate with their play.

But the second son, this rebellious child, forced them to expel him from home and marry into the Cui family. This must have been a plot hatched in advance!

If you don't understand something, don't look at the process, just the result.

> The outcome benefits whoever planned it!r and shouting, "Who are you people Why did you break into my house"At that moment, Huiniang stood on the stairs, forcing down her fear and cried out, "Auntie, they are the Yan family's people!"Yan's...
