Chapter 762: 762 ‘Red Dress Female Ghost’ came 2
The guests arrived early, around three or four in the afternoon.
Fearing that the Xiao Family would be too busy, Zhou Fuquan, Wang Cuihua, and Aunt Zhang came to help with the cooking and washing of the vegetables even before noon.
The guests all admired Xiao’s house, which, though not as grand as the mansions of the wealthy in town, was still the envy of countless villagers.
The yard was spacious, with ten tables of feasts – six tables in the front yard and four in the backyard.
Second brother and third brother, who were busy in the kitchen, came out from time to time to greet the guests.
Su Qingyue looked at the sky, it was almost five o’clock in the afternoon, and the cooked dishes began to be served one by one.
Almost everyone at each table was drooling over the dishes.
Spicy fried venison, braised chicken, fried fish, winter melon stir-fried with shredded pork, stir-fried vegetables, deep-fried flour pancake, sponge gourd soup… ten dishes in total.
For the village, the food at this feast was considered the best.
Everyone restrained themselves from picking up their chopsticks.
Because Liang Lizheng’s family hadn’t arrived yet.
Liang Lizheng was the highest-ranking ‘official’ in Wushan Village, and everyone naturally waited for his family to arrive.
After another half a pot of tea’s time, Xiao Yuchuan saw that there was still no sign of Liang Lizheng’s family, so he said, “Wife, you go to the kitchen to eat something first, don’t starve yourself.”
“It’s fine, I’m not hungry,” she shook her head.
Xiao Yuchuan looked outside the courtyard door, “Liang Lizheng’s house is not far from the village well. I’ll go to his house and have a look.”
“Go ahead,” she nodded.
Xiao Yuchuan left, and in a short while, he returned with Liang Zhenghong, Liang Ping’an, and a young woman.
As the four of them entered the yard, everyone greeted Liang Lizheng and their gazes fell on the young woman.
She seemed to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, with an elegantly coiffed bun, a jade hairpin slanted on the bun, dressed in a red skirt with a matching waist belt holding her slender waist, a peachy face, and pearl-like eyes, just wearing a touch of makeup, yet she had an irresistible charm that evoked pity.
Su Qingyue knew she was Liang Lizheng’s young and delicate wife – Liu Yuhong.
At the same time, Liu Yuhong was also the most beautiful woman in Wushan Village now.
Su Qingyue squinted her eyes; Liu Yuhong’s figure and her attire today seemed so familiar.
“I didn’t expect the village chief’s wife to come to the Xiao Family’s feast,” Auntie Hua from the table said, “Since Liu Yuhong entered the Liang Family seven years ago, she never attends any banquets, even those of money masters in town, she never goes.”
“That’s right, the Xiao Family sure has a lot of face…”
Everyone chimed in for a bit.
Su Qingyue’s gaze swept over Liang Lizheng and his son Liang Ping’an.
Liang Lizheng was a fifty-year-old middle-aged man, and Liang Ping’an was said to be only twenty-three years old, with above-average looks.
Most people in the village were uneducated and liked to call their children things like Money or Dog. They were lucky to have a name like Ping’an (Peaceful).
Both Liang Lizheng and Aunt Zhang’s sons were named Ping’an, only their surnames were different – one was Liang Ping’an and the other was Zhang Ping’an.
At first glance, Liang Ping’an and Liu Yuhong looked like a couple. In fact, Liu Yuhong was Liang Lizheng’s wife.
Naturally, Liang Lizheng’s family sat at the same table as the Xiao Family.
“Let’s start the meal! Eat and drink as much as you want!” Xiao Yuchuan shouted, and the guests at the ten tables began to use their bowls and chopsticks.
Xiao Yuchuan and Xiao Yishan took turns toasting at each table, and everyone happily ate the feast, praising the food as delicious and sumptuous all evening.
