Chapter 763: 763 Lady village chief rewards with her presence

The table where the Xiao Family and Liang Family sat was quite quiet, unlike the other tables that were bustling with festivities.

Liang Lizheng picked up a plate, filled it with a bit of everything, and then placed it in front of Liu Yuhong, “Eat more, just say what you want.”

Liu Yuhong nodded slightly at him and ate quietly with her head lowered.

Su Qingyue saw the fond and caring look Liang Lizheng gave Liu Yuhong and knew that he was extremely affectionate toward his wife who was twenty-eight years younger than him.

But in Liu Yuhong’s seemingly gentle expression, Qingyue noticed that she didn’t seem to like Liang Lizheng.

It made sense; considering the huge age gap between them, it would be strange if she did like him.

Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan returned to their seats after toasting.

Su Qingyue noticed that Liu Yuhong’s gaze lingered on Yuchuan for only two seconds.

It was really just two seconds, but she still caught it.

That gaze was a mixture of complexity and fondness.

Su Qingyue raised her eyebrows, wondering if the always silent Liu Yuhong liked Xiao Yuchuan?

She even thought that perhaps Liu Yuhong had attended the feast just for Master Xiao’s sake.

She glanced at Xiao Yuchuan and found that he hardly paid any attention to the village chief’s wife.

Xiao Yishan got up and filled glasses of bayberry wine for Liang Lizheng and Liang Ping’an, “Village Chief, Ping’an, feel free to savor the wine and dishes.”

Liang Lizheng looked quite delighted, “Ah, Yishan, your Xiao Family’s fortunes have really improved. Now you’ve become the wealthiest in Wushan Village. I’m genuinely happy for you. Oh, this bayberry wine is so precious. I heard it sells for 200 cents per jin in the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Being able to enjoy bayberry wine at this banquet is really nice. And even the game meat. Your family is generous to bring it out.”

Xiao Yishan said, “We happened to catch some deer recently, and we saved a big jar of bayberry wine at home. It’s just enough to serve a small jar at each table for this feast so that everyone could have a taste.”

“What a fine wine!” Zhou Fuquan’s voice came from another table, “Second Brother Xiao, bring out more bayberry wine.”

“There’s only a small jar of bayberry wine at each table, and we have other rice wines prepared,” said Xiao Yuchuan, “Everyone, enjoy the bayberry wine moderately, and feel free to drink more of the other wines…”

“It’s a blessing to be able to taste bayberry wine. I’ve heard that it’s selling for 500 cents per jin in Drunken Immortal Pavilion now.”

“Indeed, with such good wines and dishes, the Xiao Family is truly generous… eat and drink more…”

Liang Zhenghong, the village chief, didn’t hesitate to praise either, “The Xiao Family has such a good wife, it’s indeed a testament to your ancestors’ virtues.” Then he looked at Liu Yuhong and said, “Of course, in my heart, my Yuhong is the best wife.”

Xiao Yishan also said, “Village Chief, you’ve married such a delicate wife, the envy of countless men.”

Liu Yuhong’s head hung low.

It seemed like she was shy, but Su Qingyue noticed that she didn’t really enjoy hearing these words.

“Father, you should also drink more wine,” Liang Ping’an filled his father’s glass.

“Today’s a happy day, everyone should feel free to eat and drink.” Liang Lizheng saw his son’s filial piety and could not help but smile.

During the feast, Su Qingyue observed Liang Ping’an secretly steal glances at Liu Yuhong a few times, but she only focused on eating.

By 7 or 8 o’clock in the evening, the feast had come to an end.

Both father and son of the Liang Family were drunk.

Other guests had left, only the three from the Liang Family remained.

Liang Lizheng was so drunk that he was completely unconscious, but Liang Ping’an could still walk by himself.

Liu Yuhong cast a glance at Xiao Yishan and Xiao Yuchuan, and feeling that Yishan looked fierce, she asked Chuan, “Master Xiao, could you please help me get the village chief home?”
