The table closest to the corner is out of tune with most of the villagers.

Sitting on the table were the three people from the main room of the Yi family and Mrs. Yi.

Not long after, Yang Xiuying also took Li Ping'er and sat down at this table.

Since the temple destruction incident, Yang Xiuying's reputation in the village has plummeted.

Later, her husband and father-in-law were also imprisoned, and the rumors in the village never stopped.

However, in the face of the ridicule from the villagers, Yang Xiuying never said a word and chose to endure it.

Including Li Ping'er, his temperament also changed drastically, as if he had grown a lot overnight.

In fact, Yang Xiuying had no plans to come.

But since the family suffered a disaster, mother and son have not had any contact with meat or fish for a long time.

Especially Li Ping'er, when she heard that she could eat shaved pig soup, she was so greedy that she started to growl at home.

In the end, Yang Xiuying changed her mind.

Anyway, the words scolding them are unpleasant enough, but eating a few mouthfuls of meat is more important.

She was also very conscious and helped wash the dishes on the stove for half an hour before serving the table.

When it came time to eat, I chose the most inconspicuous table in the corner.

Most people, seeing how knowledgeable she is now, will stop trying to embarrass her.

But the people in the Yi family's home don't think so.

Their family had been marginalized in the village because of Yi Mingxue, and now they were sitting at the same table as Yang Xiuying, and they suddenly felt that their status had been lowered.

Mrs. Yi has a horizontal nose and vertical eyes, and she doesn't look good.

Boss Yi and Aunt Yi got together and criticized Sang and Huai, saying that she was unruly and unruly.

Yi Chunlai is even more incredible! Ever since he paid money to Mao Chun'er, he has started to regard himself as a manager in front of his peers in the village.

It seems that he will make a fortune tomorrow, and now he is a rich man with millions of dollars.

Li Ping'er originally planned to sit next to him, but he kicked her to the ground.

"Where did you come from, beggar? Stay away from your grandpa!"

"You!" Yang Xiuying was so angry that her eyes were red, but in the end she endured the words that were on her lips.

He picked up Li Ping'er, who was stunned by the kick, and sat on the bench on the other side.

Just at this time, Li Chunlan's mother-in-law and the man also came over.

In order to escape their leisure time, the two of them deliberately ran to the fields early in the morning and pretended to be busy.

He waited until the banquet was about to start and then pretended to come over and eat for free.

As for Li Chunlai, she didn't want to show up to Yi Mingxue again.

I just found an excuse and ran back to my parents' house!

Now, the families in the most embarrassing situation in the village gathered together at a table.

In order to cover up this delicate atmosphere, Mrs. Yi, who was not familiar with her at first, began to talk passionately with Li Chunlan's mother-in-law.

It seems that this is the only way to prove that they are not marginalized in the village.

Soon it was time to serve the food.

Li Cong has already arranged for several young and strong people to serve the dishes.

With a shout, the fragrant and hot food was served on the table, followed by shaved pig soup cooked in an iron boiler.

There are more than 80 people in the village, and there are ten tables full of them.

I don’t know whether it was intentional or not, but at the table where the main room of the Yi family was located, no one was bringing pork soup.

But the people at that table were very anxious.

Seeing other tables starting to eat, their table always only had a few dishes of side dishes.

Yi Chunlai couldn't help it anymore and shouted in a loud voice, "Where's the shaved pig soup on our table? Why hasn't it been served yet?"

No one paid any attention to him.

Now, even Li Chunlan's man joined in the shouting.

"Village Chief! Have you forgotten our table?"

After a long while, Li Cong came over with a bowl of shaved pork soup.

"I didn't forget, your table doesn't have any."

"What?!" Aunt Yi exclaimed, "Why?"

Li Cong calmly placed the bowl of shaved pork soup in front of Li Ping'er and said, "Eat slowly and be careful not to burn it."

The few young people following Li Cong responded unceremoniously to Yi Chunlai and others.

"Of course it's because you have neither contributed money nor effort. Just having hot food to eat is the village's care for you."

"What did you say a few days ago? You would rather not have this big New Year's dinner than pay for a copper coin."

During the conversation, one of the people was Li Cong's cousin, and he looked angry when he talked about it.

"And you are saying that my brother wants to embezzle?! Open your eyes now and take a closer look to see if my brother is actually embezzling your money!"

The members of the Yi family's eldest house, as well as those from the Li Chunlan family, all looked a little guilty.

What he said is indeed true. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't believe that Li Cong would be so kind and pay more than ten cents to actually eat shaved pig soup?

Now that I was exposed in public, I lost all dignity.

Boss Yi pointed at Li Ping'er unconvinced and said dissatisfied, "Then why can he eat it?"

Li Chunlan's mother-in-law was not convinced, and pointed to several needy households in the village, "There are also them. These few are so poor that they can't even afford to wear underpants. I don't believe they have money to pay?"

"Although they didn't contribute any money, they worked from morning to night and put in a lot of effort." Li Cong straightened up and said calmly.

"Then... isn't my family busy in the fields?" Mother-in-law Li Chunlan retorted in a low voice.

Li Cong was not used to it and retorted on the spot.

"Busy? Your family has dug holes in the newly allocated farmland in Dongshan. Your family has been shoveling in the field for most of the day, but you haven't even dug a ditch. How are you so busy?"

"That's right! Do you really think that everyone can't see that you are cheating?"

The other villagers refuted her while watching the fun while eating the delicious reunion dinner.

Mother-in-law Li Chunlan was so embarrassed that she did not dare to speak anymore.

Everyone thought they would just walk away in despair, but Yi Chunlai actually slapped his chest boldly.

"How much? I have money!"

Li Cong and others looked at each other and said in surprise, "One person is ten cents, and the total of four people in your family is forty cents."

For this table of vegetables and meat, ten cents per person is an extremely cost-effective price.

But as soon as Mrs. Yi and Uncle Yi heard that it cost forty coins, they immediately came over to stop Yi Chun from coming.

"Some people didn't contribute any money at all, so why should my family pay 40 cents, even if we don't eat the meat?"

Who would have expected that Yi Chunlai actually pushed his mother away and said disdainfully.

"Tch! It's only forty cents. I don't even care about this little money."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of coins from his sleeve.

It hit the table with a snap.

"Hurry up and bring me the shaved pig soup! And wow, I told you to look down on others. In a few days, I will impress you!"

"Oh, just you?" Li Cong's cousin just said.

He was stopped by Li Cong and said, "Since you have paid, let's serve him food."

With that said, he ignored the people in the main room of the Yi family and turned around to leave.

Mother-in-law Li Chunlan and the man were originally going to sit back and eat meat, but they were kicked off the table by Mrs. Yi and Uncle Yi.

In the face of interests, there is no such enthusiasm as before.

As for Yi Mingxue, she lowered her eyes the whole time while eating.

He didn't even look at the people at the table in the corner.
