Translator: Lonelytree
‘A few days after Xiao Lingyun was brought back, it was Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet and teacher appreciation banquet.
Even Third Uncle Xiao also brought his wife and children back to Taoyuan Village. His family had moved to a big city, and his children went away to study.
However, his eldest nephew getting admitted into Imperial University as the top scorer in Science was big news. This was a great thing for the entire Xiao family. It was a very glorious thing.
No matter what, they would definitely come back to celebrate.
However, when they heard about his second niece’s incident, the anger showed on their faces, and their fists clenched tightly.
Third Uncle Xiao gnashed his teeth and said, “Cheng Feiping, that bastard, actually dared to treat you like this. Why didn’t you tell us earlier?” When he said that, he also looked at Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.
Over the years, they had suffered so much in Kanglin City, but they didn’t say a word. If they had said something, even if they didn’t have much power, they could provide an advantage in numbers. They could put their heads together to come up with a solution.
If not, at least the larger number would stop the Cheng Family from bullying them so ruthlessly.
Xiao Leyang looked at his parents and asked with a dark face, “Dad, Mom, does this mean you’ve been bullied by the Cheng Family for the past five years.
“We’re your sons. Why didn’t you tell us? We wouldn’t have let them do this to you!”
Grandma Xiao said, “Ol’ Three, the matter is over. The Cheng family has also received retribution and severe punishment from the law. We shall move forward and not dwell on the past.”
However, Xiao Leyang said, “But mom, you have been bullied so badly. It hurts my heart just hearing about it.
“We’ve failed as your sons. We didn’t go to Kanglin City to visit you. We thought you had a good life there.”
Grandpa Xiao and the others kept Xiao Lingyun’s matter a secret too tightly.
If it weren’t for Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet, they wouldn’t have known anything. Perhaps when they found out, Xiao Lingyun and her daughters would be dead already.
“Third uncle, it was me who asked Grandpa and Grandma not to tell you guys anything.” Xiao Lingyum said guiltily, “At that time, I didn’t want you guys to worry about me. However, I forgot how much of a burden it would place on Grandma and Grandpa. I even allowed them to be bullied by the Cheng
Family. This is all my fault. I’m sorry, third uncle!”
Then, Xiao Lingyun apologized to Grandpa and Grandma Xiao, “I’m sorry, Grandpa and Grandma. Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have implicated Grandpa and Grandma. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”
Grandma Xiao pulled Xiao Lingyun over and said with a very emotional expression, “Child, this matter is not your fault. In any case, it’s over now. After waiting for so long, you’ve finally been released from the clutches of the Cheng Family.”
Back then, the old couple had moved to Kanglin City to look after their granddaughter. But who would have thought their granddaughter’s marriage life would be so sad. She was tortured and abused.
Fortunately, everything had passed.
Third Uncle Xiao was about to speak when Father Xiao said, “Third brother, you’re right. We were wrong for not going to Kanglin City to visit. Even if we had gone there once, we would have definitely noticed that something was wrong, We would have thought of a way to save Yun ‘Er and the girls.” Father
Xiao paused, his face full of guilt. Then, he said, “Fortunately, everything is in the past now. Father and mother are back, and the children are back.”
Father Xiao still had fear when he thought back to that night when he saw Xiao Lingyun being forced to drink chicken soup by Cheng Dawei and the others. If they had been one second later, Yun ‘Er and her daughters… It was terrifying.
At this time, Xiao Jingyang said with a guilty look, “Second brother, third brother, if you want to blame someone, blame Big Brother. It was me who made Mom and Dad suffer.”
The brothers of the Xiao Family felt very guilty. They couldn’t have felt worse.
Grandpa Xiao shouted sternly, “Alright, you brothers don’t need to feel guilty anymore. Your mom and I made this choice. It has nothing to do with you. But this is a valuable lesson. In the future, as long as our family is united and we work together, we can solve everything, And that will be the greatest
comfort to your mother and me.”
Grandpa Xiao had always been the authoritative figure in the family.
“Since Yun ‘Er and the two children have returned, we have to protect them well. We can’t let them suffer any more harm. We need to make sure that the girls can grow up properly.
“Also, the day after tomorrow is the graduation banquet for Ye Er. Let’s not mention these unhappy things anymore. We’re here to celebrate Ye ‘Er. This is a glorious event for the Xiao Family. Make sure that all the guests are invited.”
“Yes, father!”
Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet was held in the village. The teacher appreciation banquet was held in the Gu family’s hotel.
The graduation banquet invited a large number of relatives and friends to attend. Almost every family at Taoyuan Village would attend. There were too many guests, so they had to hold it in the village.
The teacher appreciation banquet was, as the name suggested, a party to thank the teachers for their teachings and training. The guests were limited.
Therefore, the two banquets were separated.
In the city, these two banquets were often held together. After all, they didn’t need to invite the whole village to one of the banquets.
That day, Taoyuan Village was very lively. Taoyuan Village had produced a second university student. He was Xiao Zhengyang’s son.
Xiao Zhengyang and his wife’s capability to raise such a wonderful pair of children made everyone in the village envious.
After the villagers learned that Xiao Lingye was admitted to Imperial University, even people from the nearby villagers were jealous.
Xiao Zhengyang and his wife had raised a daughter who was a university student. Now, their son was also admitted to a first-level university.
Their family’s life was also getting better and better. Their family was getting richer and richer.
Some time ago, the Xiao Family took out five million in cash to contract the mountains at Taoyuan Village. Every villager was beaming with joy.
Once they got the money, many people began to build new houses.
Due to the rising fame of Taoyuan Village, they had attracted nearby villagers to marry over too.
After all, Taoyuan Village was no longer the poor and backward small mountain village of the past..
