Fu Jiu Chiu let out a giggle, "You shouldn't ask me that."

“Little aunt, don’t overthink it. I know you and Yuanping are fine. I wouldn't believe those things people say outside. But… I feel like you two grew up together, you should understand him well. I just want to be good to him, but I don’t know how to do it without bothering him.”

Peng said, looking at Fu Jiujiu carefully, worried that she would misunderstand.

Fu Jiujiu wouldn't be so petty. She could feel a woman's carefulness as she tried to please a man.

"You really care about him, why would he be bothered?" Fu Jiujiu chuckled lightly and offered her a slice of watermelon. Peng Jingxiang didn't take it.

"Thinking about it, we haven't played together in ten years. After waking up, everyone changed, and I really don't know what he likes." Fu Zhuzhu deliberately distanced herself from Song Yuanping, just so that Peng's heart could feel more comfortable.

Peng Jingxiang nodded blankly, carefully pondering Fu Jiujiao's words. Before leaving, she emphasized, "Little aunt, you mustn't overthink it. I have no other intentions."

"I know," Fu Jiujiu smiled.

Actually, she thinks Song Yuanping and Peng Jingxiang are a great match. Song Yuanping's heart will always be warmed by her.

And she didn't feel that Song Yuanping disliked Peng Jingxiang much, which was a good sign.

Two days later, the Fu family set off firecrackers early in the morning, which lasted for half an hour.

People in this village know what's going on, but the neighboring villages don't.

Everyone is wondering, who's family is setting off so many firecrackers? How much money did they spend to marry a wife? It's such a waste, it's not like they married an angel!

Fujujiao has been awake for so long, actually the whole village has seen it. This whole thing is just a gathering for fun and laughter.

As expected, looking at the children playing and laughing outside the gate, Fu Jiujiao also felt good to be back.

If I were to become a pitiful little thing, unloved by my father and mother, with cruel siblings on top of that, life would be unbearable.

She, who has been coddled in honey for four years, is truly incapable of enduring hardship.

Everyone was speaking auspicious words. When someone came over to talk to Fu Chiuchiu, she would smile and answer. In just a short while, Fu Chiuchiu felt her mouth was smiling stiffly.

Although Fu Baiman said that he only ate at the banquet and didn't accept gifts, most people still came with presents.

Only Fan Si Mei and her weakling husband were left.

However, Zhou had already warned Fan Si Mei before she entered.

Let's have a meal, I'll just treat it as spending money on food for the kids, but if you want to stir up trouble, better think about the situation. Today, Fu Jiujiu's eight brothers are all here, none of them are easy to mess with.

Fan Si Mei came here with thick skin, because she was greedy, yes, she was greedy.

Everyone in this village knows that Fu family's noodles are the best, and they prepared them with great care over two days, so there's no way it could be wrong.

As most of the guests had arrived, Fu Baimian began to set up the feast, but then a shrill cry rang out, "I hurried as fast as I could, yet I was still late. Why didn't you wait for me before starting?"

This voice, crisp and pleasant, Fu JiuJiu subconsciously looked at Fu Bajin. Only to see him excitedly looking in the direction of the sound.

The newcomer wore a straw hat, their hair combed high, dressed in simple and neat attire. Without looking at their face or hearing their voice, one might mistake them for either male or female.

But a closer look reveals that the girl has a slender and graceful figure, with a perfectly proportioned frame. No man could compare to her.

"Girl!"

Her voice trembled slightly, and before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Qin Xiu, oh no, Ling Xiu." Fu Jiu Jiu thought that since she had already been wronged, she should live by her real name.

The fact is the same, but whether it's Qin Xiu or Zhong Ling Xiu, they are all hers.

"Miss, you still recognize me," Zhong Lingxiu said, already not caring about how eye-catching she was, and directly flew over using her internal energy.

Everyone gasped in amazement, watching the two girls embrace. Their eyes were also red, though none of them understood what had happened.

"Xiu Xiu, I knew you'd come." Fu Jiu Jiu said.

Zhong Lingxiu snorted coldly, complaining, “Knowing I was coming, you still let Uncle Fu announce the start of the banquet. Does the young lady think I'm a fool?”

They eat theirs, what are you trying to steal from them?

Although Fu Chiuchiu spoke euphemistically, Zhong Lingxiu knew that Fu Chiuchiu wasn't treating her as an outsider. Don't family members always get the last piece of something good?

Zhong Lingxiu was very happy, “The young lady is a bit taller than last year.”

Fuju knows that she will come to see her every year.

It's a pity that she didn't miss out on her own growth, but I missed out on hers.

The clever little girl has grown into a graceful young lady.

Zhong Lingxiu greeted the Fu family and arrived at Fu Bagin's place. She patted his shoulder and said, "How are you doing?"

"Well, how about you?"

"Of course I'm happy."

At this time, it wasn't the right moment to speak. Fu Jiu Jiu simply held onto Zhong Ling Xiu's arm, like two young ladies, just waiting for the guests to leave so they could have a good chat.

Fu JiuJiu stole a glance at her Eight Treasure Bird. Her gaze was like it was burning with passion, intensely hot, and completely unrestrained.

Look at that wife-fetching stone properly.

Just as the host and guest were enjoying themselves, suddenly a few beggars came to the door, uttering a long string of auspicious greetings.

When there are happy events or occasions in a household, the beggars know about it and come over, so Fu Jiujiu has become accustomed to this.

Even if the Li Dynasty were ever as powerful as it could be, there would still be beggars.

Tian Guihua took out some copper coins and food, intending to distribute them equally among everyone. However, everyone rushed forward, even resorting to fighting each other.

"Don't fight, don't fight, there's more inside, enough to eat." Tian Guihua said.

Fu Jiujiu frowned, but didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

After the beggars had eaten their fill and dispersed, as everyone was about to continue, a disheveled beggar collapsed at the doorstep of the Fu family.

Fu JiuJiu was just about to get up, when Zhong Lingxiu warily stepped in front of her. "I'll go."

Fu Jiujiu speculated that her martial arts must have greatly increased over the past decade, and she was probably no match for her.

But she was still not at ease, following behind. Zhong Lingxiu drew her sword from her waist and poked the beggar with the hilt of her blade.

The beggar was so thin and weak, she had been turned over. Only then did everyone realize that she was a woman.

And that face... it was horrifying, beyond description.

"Girl!" Zhong Lingxiu instinctively pulled Fu Jiujiu behind her.

Fujujio shook her head, "I'm fine."

The woman's face was like it had been burned by fire, with not a single good patch of skin. There were numerous large blisters, some of which had burst, oozing blood and yellow pus. It was quite sickening to look at.

Fu Jiujiu turned her head and saw that many people had been frightened by the terrifying face and covered their eyes. Fu Jiujiu also waved her hand to signal the sisters-in-law to take their little ones away.

Suddenly, the young girl opened her eyes and whispered weakly, "Help... Help me, please..."
