Chapter 717 Godfather Buys You Candy (3)_1
As they discussed this matter, the room suddenly fell quiet. Everyone was deep in thought, planning to go home and consider their options, wondering what to do. Whether they could plant and how much they should plant.
Old Scholar Fang observed from the side and nodded to himself. Gathering all these relatives together would ensure that even if in the future, Pei Wendong achieved scholarly success and Mo Heng was promoted and they no longer lived in this area, their good deeds would still have an impact. If there was any slander against them, these benefited relatives would, without a doubt, stand up for them. After all, it takes a village to build a fire!
Fang Hui watched from the side, twisting with discomfort in her heart. They were just teaching them to plant pickled cabbage, yet every year they suppressed her family. Her family couldn’t buy cabbage or sell it at a good price, and yet they had to acknowledge the great benefits they had received from them! Watching them become increasingly prosperous, even her parents were siding with them, as if they no longer had a daughter or a family!
As the conversation went on, the sky grew darker. Pei Wendong and Fang Liuyang were still young and didn’t drink alcohol. They finished their meals and hurried back early.

"I just had a couple of sips, it’s nothing," Pei Wendong said with a smile.
He was known as Yuanyang County’s young Scholar. To maintain face at Fang Fang’s wedding, Yan Kangyuan’s family insisted on toasting him. They let him take just a bit, as a form of respect. After a while, he ended up having a bit too much.
