Escape from the desert

Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something more, but she was deterred by Jiang Yan's sullen eyes. Her purpose today was to come to dinner and see her grandson Jiang Wen. Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't drive them away, she also took a break. The thought of sitting with old man Jiang.

Zhang Yanzi took old lady Jiang and the others to sit in the front of the courtyard. As soon as they entered the table, the old lady took her two sons and began to look at the courtyard of the Lin family. The bigger the stare.

As soon as the guests at the second table were seated, the dishes began to be served one after another. With the experience of the first table, the big guys behind them also began to be busy.

The cold wind howled and made people's skin ache, and those guests who were full and refused to leave gathered around the fire, gossiping about what they saw and heard today, while reminiscing about the delicious food just now.

Zhang Yanzi stared at Mrs. Jiang and the others, and Jiang Yan felt relieved. She greeted the other guests and was about to leave when she saw a luxurious carriage slowly approaching.

She frowned slightly, looking at the carriage that was not inferior to her own, she didn't know who was coming.

Just when she was wondering, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Liu Xiaoyue, who was dressed in silk and satin, jumped out of the carriage, followed by her parents.

Compared with the last time they came to Linjiacun, the three members of the Liu family have changed a lot.

All three of them put on brand-new silk and satin winter clothes. The inner lining looked like high-quality silk floss.

Jiang Yan sized her up indiscriminately, and almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Liu Xiaoyue's full head of hairpins.

This Liu Xiaoyue probably stole a lot of money from Yu Xuan. Today, she sent an invitation for Lin Nan and Liu Xiaomeng's wedding. She thought that their family would not come, but she didn't expect that not only did she come, but she also came in a very grand manner. horizontal.

Seeing the unstoppable nouveau riche attitude of this family, Jiang Yan put on a smile and pretended to be surprised: "Hey, it turns out that the ex-in-law's family is here, so I don't think you have the nerve to come to my house for dinner."

As she said that, she deliberately exaggeratedly looked at the carriage and the outfits of the three of them, and said in surprise: "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder I didn't like my family Lin Nan before. It turns out that your family is so rich, this carriage, this full head The hairpin and the fine silk on her body are really enviable..."

Jiang Yan's voice was deliberately raised, and all the surrounding villagers and guests gathered around for a while, and the big guys began to gossip about each other.

Most of the peasant families are not rich, especially in the past few years due to the severe drought. Many people don't care about food, let alone what to wear, so the clothes of the big guys are more or less patched with different fabrics.

"Is this silk and satin? The material looks so beautiful. I've seen it in cloth shops."

"That's right. I've seen it in the shop. It's expensive. We muddy legs can only look at it. It's affordable."

"And that hairpin is all silver. How did Liu Dazhuang's family get rich? Why did they suddenly become so rich..."

"It's so beautiful. This expensive dress looks different from our sackcloth. It looks like a lady from a rich family."

There were a few people from Liu's Village in the crowd. They all knew how poor Liu Dazhuang's family was before. They were from the same village and knew everything about it. His family suddenly made money. Apart from envy and jealousy, they were more puzzled and curious.

Liu Xiaoyue raised her head high, and being watched and praised like this greatly satisfied her vanity. When her eyes fell on Jiang Yan, she was somewhat contemptuous and proud.

The fat aunt stretched out her fat waist, shook the silver bracelet in her hand triumphantly, and said with a smile: "Xiaomeng was brought up by me anyway, and now she is getting married, so the elders will naturally come to congratulate her. "

Behind her, Liu Dazhuang immediately went to the carriage to bring the congratulatory gifts. It was a red-headed cloth. Although the material looked ordinary, it was better than a festive one. Jiang Yan didn't expect them to send many valuable things. Strange.

"Old Song, it's hard for Xiaomeng's natal family to come, so hurry up and take them to sit at the table, greet them well, and let them see how rare my Lin family is to Xiaomeng, a daughter-in-law."

Jiang Yan invited people in with a smile, and waved to Lin Nan who was still greeting guests in the crowd, "Second brother, come and greet Xiaomeng's natal family, don't let people think that we are neglecting our etiquette."

When Lin Nan saw Liu Xiaoyue, the joy on his face dissipated instantly, but when he heard what his mother said, he had no choice but to walk over with a cold face, and greeted several people to sit at the table.

Since Liu Xiaoyue saw Lin Nan, she couldn't move her eyes away, and kept staring at him. Today, Lin Nan is wearing a wedding robe, and her tall figure and sharp features are particularly eye-catching.

Compared with the last time we met, he seemed to have matured a lot and attracted her even more.

"Brother Lin Nan..." Her soft and delicate voice rang out, and when Lin Nan looked over, she deliberately raised her slender neck, revealing her lovely eyes, with the appearance of an infatuated girl.

"Put away your hypocrisy, I don't like you, my mother asked you to come to my house for dinner, just to let you know how good our family is now, when Xiaomeng is at your house After suffering so much, if you marry me in the future, I will treat her well and not let her suffer any more."

Lin Nan was a straight man, and he was extremely disgusted with Liu Xiaoyue's behavior. Before she could speak, he turned and left, leaving Liu Xiaoyue with an indifferent back.

Looking at this luxurious mansion like a manor, her jealous palms were bloodstained. Thinking that today's banquet should belong to her, and this kind of house should belong to her, her hatred for Liu Xiaomeng became even stronger. strong.

With a faint smile on the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth, she looked at the three members of the Liu family who stood out from the crowd at the banquet, and deliberately found a place with a better view to sit down.

Plates of exquisite and delicious delicacies were slowly served at the banquet, but Liu Xiaoyue's expression changed again and again. Compared to her inexperienced taste, Liu Dazhuang and his wife couldn't stop eating with their chopsticks, especially under two glasses of wine. After eating, he started chatting with the guests at the same table.

"I heard that the bridegroom's bride is your niece. You dressed so well, did you get a lot of benefits from the Lin family?" A drunk man at the same table spoke flatteringly to Liu Dazhuang.

Another young man also booed: "The Lin family is now the richest man in our ten miles and eight villages. This house is built in such a style that it may be richer than the landlord's family in the town. You are relatives of the family, and you are also earning money." A lot of money, right?"

The two people who spoke were from Liujia Village, and they both knew Liu Dazhuang's family. For Liu Dazhuang's sudden and arrogant outfit today, they all thought it was a gift from the Lin family.
