Chapter 1900 - 1902: The Hope of Our Village

Chapter 1900: Chapter 1902: The Hope of Our Village

Outside, it was mainly Yang Qiu and Yang Dong keeping watch.

Since Yang Xia had just returned from a separation, fearing village gossip, she stayed inside to take care of the children.

Yang Chun, Yang Gang, and Yang Ming, along with the family of their in-laws inside, didn’t stay outside for long. They brought their wives and followed Old Man Yang inside.

The situation inside was similar to outside, full of compliments and praises.

But they were different from those outside; they were genuinely happy because their daughter was marrying into a good family.

After attending to each table, Old Man Yang drank a bit too much, starting to feel slightly tipsy.

He was truly happy and hadn’t expected that his family would see such a day.

With the current situation of the Yang Family, even the villagers were living better; the Village Chief was quite proud too. He couldn’t help but say a few more words to Old Man Yang, "Hey, Brother Two, I must toast to you today; your family has really put me in a good light as Village Chief."

The Village Chief indeed had more prestige; why? Because thanks to the Yang Family matters, he would officially become the village head by autumn.

Seeing the Village Chief toast, how could Old Man Yang accept it? To have the Village Chief toast to him, what an honor! Even if he was tipsy, he couldn’t allow it, so he hurriedly said, "Chief, let me toast you instead. Congrats to you for soon becoming the village head."

The Village Chief smiled, and the two clinked glasses.

Then the Village Chief spoke again, "The autumn exams are coming up soon, Yang Ming is our village’s hope."

At that time, Yang Ming came over with a wine pot and quickly refilled the Village Chief’s glass, "Thank you, Village Chief Uncle, for your concern. I’ll work hard and not let everyone down."

"Great, great, our village will depend on you. You must perform well, and once you succeed, don’t forget us villagers," the Village Chief said, thinking that the Yang Family had already risen even before Yang Ming took the exam. If he succeeded, the prospects were unimaginable.

As the Village Chief naturally wanted to ensure the Yang Family would always consider the villagers first.

After he finished speaking, the highly respected elders also spoke up one after another.

"Our Yangjia Village hasn’t had one in many years. If you do succeed, don’t forget the villagers here."

"Yes, yes, don’t forget us."

"..."

"..."

While pouring wine for everyone, Yang Ming assured, "Fourth Grandpa, Third Uncle, rest assured, I won’t forget the villagers."

After some interactions, the first feast was finally done.

Xiaoxiao and her two sisters-in-law then took their family to visit their courtyard.

While everyone was eating the first feast, the kitchen had already begun preparing for the second feast. Once the villagers left, the Yang family relatives quickly gathered to clear the tableware, and soon those for the second feast took their seats.

Old Man Yang led everyone to entertain the second group, and then the third, fourth, and fifth groups.

The feasting continued until the afternoon before it ended.

The relatives from the maternal side also left. Although they’d planned to have them stay over, considering the number of people in the Yang household, the maternal relatives politely declined.

However, Chu Lian’s family of three stayed, as Wang Xiangxiang and Wang Fufu had a share in the courtyard too. Given Wang Xiangxiang’s personality, she definitely wanted to stay. Since marrying Xiangxiang, Chu Lian had become a "wife-lover," and now with a son, a "child-lover" too, so they stayed. Moreover, he wanted to experience living in such a nice house.
