Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 385 Opening (3)

Village chief Zhou Mingyan glared at Luo Erzhu's father and said, "Keep your wife under control. It's a big day, don't say anything that will bring bad luck to her."

Although his voice was not loud, people in the nearby Xinghua Village could hear it. Zhou's face turned red and she immediately shut up without waiting for her husband to remind her. She was very embarrassed.

A few days ago, Song Ying and Luo Yanxing went back and invited not only the relatives of the Song and Luo families, but also the village chief's family. However, Qian was in poor health and could not come to the city, so little Qian had to stay to take care of her and left her two daughters behind. Only the village chief and his son came from the Zhou family.

Song Ying naturally pretended not to hear such words, and greeted them with a smile, "I've been waiting for you to come. Go to the back and have a good rest."

She could still smile in front of the village chief and other people, but when she saw Li, she couldn't help but think of the scar on her leg and she couldn't hold it back.

She took a deep breath and told herself that today was the big day for their opening and she must not make a scene. She repeated it over and over again before she finally controlled her expression and asked, "Why didn't Second Aunt and Little Brother come?"

Song Tian rushed to answer, his tone was quite gloating, "My younger brother has to study, so he can't come. My mother stayed to cook for him."

"Then pack them up and take them back."

Li looked around but didn't see Second Aunt Song. She asked sullenly, "Where's your Second Aunt? Why didn't you come out to help at a time like this? That's outrageous!"

Second Aunt Song was worried that people from the village would come and ask about her private affairs, which would be too embarrassing for her, so she simply declined Manager Cen's offer to give her a day off and went to Yunxiu Tower early this morning.

"They are very busy at Yunxiu Tower right now and can't leave." After explaining, Song Ying really didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he simply let them go in and rest again.

The village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let's take a look outside first, you guys go and get busy."

It was a busy time, so Song Ying didn't bother to be polite with them. He said to Song Tian and Luo Erzhu, "There is a teapot on the table in the back patio. Go get it and pour water for the elders."

After saying that, he went to greet other guests.

Song Tian and Luo Erzhu were very curious about their house, so they didn't mind Song Ying's instructions and went to the back quickly. Soon their exclamations were heard.

"Grandma! Dad, come in and take a look!"

So, the people of Xinghua Village who had originally planned to watch from outside went inside.

Luo Yanxing was a little worried, so he leaned close to Song Ying and whispered, "Is it really okay to let them go to the back? I'm really worried that my parents won't want to leave after watching this."

The houses at the back are very different from those in Xinghua Village, especially the small building at the back. Some people in the village have never even entered the building in their lives.

Song Ying raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes. What's the point? I just want them to know how well we live now, so that they will be jealous to death!"

Luo Yanxing smacked her lips. Needless to say, this feeling was very good just thinking about it. She said, "Okay, let's deal with them as they come. I'll deal with them when they come."

After joking, Song Ying said seriously, "There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just let them go to Ruyi Tower now, right?"

Not to mention that they were very busy today and had no time to prepare the banquet, even if they had the time, the two girls were not capable of cooking it right now, so they booked two tables in the newly opened Ruyi Tower at Shenzheng, which was still early.

"Besides, the house is right here, and there's no way to hide it in your pocket. If you don't let them see it now, they will see it later."

This is true, but when Luo Yanxing thought about how difficult her parents were, she felt a headache. She once again envied Song Ying's foresight in not announcing the house to the public that she also had a share in it.

"Oh, by the way, why don't I see anyone from your great-grandfather's family?"

Song Ying shrugged: "I invited them the other day, but they refused to come, saying they were busy harvesting wheat."

The weather is good this year, and almost all the wheat in the fields has been harvested and dried. How can we be so busy that we can't spare a day?

What's more, the eldest branch of the Song family is very large. With so many people, even during the busy farming season, one person coming would not have much impact on his family.

Luo Yanxing couldn't help but sigh, "The relationship between your two families is really bad."

Today, people from each branch of the Luo family came, but not all of them came.

In the back courtyard, the people of Xinghua Village looked at each other in surprise as they looked at the square blue brick and tile houses and the imposing two-story building.

After a long time, Zhou looked at Luo Yanxing's mother, Wang, and said, "Sister-in-law, this house is so magnificent, it must have cost a lot of money."

Wang felt as if she was being scratched by a cat and was extremely upset. Such a nice house was given to two outsiders from the Song family and she couldn't even live in it!

This is not Xinghua Village. The village chief was worried that she would make a scene and make people in the city laugh at Xinghua Village. So he said with a fierce face, "The child has a promising future, which is a good thing. Let's go and look around."

As he said that, he was the first to walk over and said, "Hey, is this a well? This is convenient, saving the two girls from having to fetch water from outside."

Wang was feeling sour in her heart, and she said with a hint of meaning: "If there is no well, there is no need for the two of them to fetch water. Song Ying's second aunt still lives here."

The old village chief was deaf again at the right time. "Raising fish in the well? That's a good idea. You can tell whether the water is clean or not by looking at whether the fish are spirited or not."

Wang: "...your ears, old man."

The village chief's son Zhou Shanchang sighed: "It can't be helped. It's like this when people get old. Hey, Dad, walk slower. Don't slip on these slippery slabs!"

"It's not raining, what are you afraid of?" The village chief had his hands behind his back and had clearly walked some distance away, but he could clearly hear his son's worries.

Wang couldn't tell whether he really misheard or did it on purpose, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Li's face also looked unhappy. In her opinion, Luo Yanxing could be where he is today thanks to Song Ying. He had the ability to make money but instead of helping his own family members, he was thinking about outsiders.

She really should be allowed to come in and listen. What's the point of having an outsider? They just live here, but their mother dislikes them openly or secretly.

"Hey, why is it locked?"

The village chief's doubtful voice brought Wang back to her senses. She took two quick steps and came to the left wing room. There was indeed a copper lock on the door. Her face darkened a few shades and she said loudly, "Erzhu, go get your cousin the key. Why would you lock the door when you are here alone?"

When she said this, she finally felt a little like the master of the house and felt more relaxed.

The village chief was very reasonable and said cheerfully, "This is the city, and there are all kinds of people coming and going. It's not like in our village, where everyone knows each other well. They are watching the shop outside and don't lock the door. If a thief sneaks in and steals something, we won't know."
