Xue Da opened his eyes and shook his head with a smile as he cried. “I’m fine. What’s not fine is that we’re supposed to have a harmonious day. She hasn’t had a good day…” As he spoke, tears kept falling from his old eyes. “She never said it, but I know. All this time I felt something… But I didn’t want her to feel bad and worry about me, so 1 pretended not to know anything…”

“Don’t cry.” Jiang Yue reached out her small hand and wiped her grandfather’s tears.

Xue Yan was also wiping his grandfather’s tears.

“Thank you.” Xue Da immediately pulled Jiang Yue and Xue Yan into his arms, crying and laughing. These were his precious grandchildren. “No point in crying anymore.” Immediately, his other grandchildren wiped his tears away as well.

Xue Xiaoxi was afraid that her father would cry again, so she pointed her fingers at Du Shanqiang who was still kneeling on the ground angrily. “You! You should leave!”

Du Shanqiang didn’t want to provoke his father-in-law anymore. If he really provoked Xue Da, he wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility. So he replied with a nod and prepared to leave.

He stood up, but before he could leave, Xue Da called out to him, “Don’t leave.

When the wedding comes, you will have to make things clear in front of us. Your family…” The old man felt a lump in his throat again. “You can’t bully my girl like this.”

Without waiting for Du Shanqiang to say anything, the old man smiled and greeted everyone. He stood up and held the hands of Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. “Let’s go, let’s eat first. We shouldn’t starve ourselves on a day like this.”

Although he said that, the old man only ate a little when the food was presented. He was afraid that everyone would make a fuss if he didn’t eat, so he ate a little.

Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, Liu Guixia, and the others only ate a little as well because of how much the mood dampened.

Du Hongguo had to be persuaded by Liu Guixia to eat even just a little.

However, no one cared about Du Shanqiang.

Du Shanqiang stood in the courtyard, feeling helpless. If others didn’t ask him to eat, he would be too embarra.s.sed to eat.

Liu Guixia, Xue Xiaoxi, and the others were all angry, so naturally, no one called him.

Xue Sihu, Xue Dafu, and Xue Dagui had gone to the shop in town to fetch Xue Daxi. They hadn’t eaten yet, so when everyone finished eating, they left some food in the pot. When Xue Sihu and the others returned, they reheated some of the dishes for the men.

When Xue Sihu and the others brought Xue Daxi back, the moment Xue Daxi entered and saw her father, her tears uncontrollably fell.

Usually, she would be able to hold it in. This time, for some reason, she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

She was clearly crying, but she kept smiling at her father, Xue Da, and said, “Father, I’m fine. I’m really fine. Look at you, why are you crying? I already told you that I’m fine.”

Xue Da let Xue Sihu and the others eat first. Xue Sihu and the others waved their hands and said that they would eat later. Xue Da then sat down again and let out a long sigh. He then asked his daughter with tears in her eyes, “How are you feeling? Although your brothers followed their wives back, you still have us. Look at us, we’re all here for you. There’s no need to cry.”

Everyone looked at Xue Daxi.

They wanted to know what she was thinking before deciding how to help her.

Xue Daxi was a middle-aged woman. Her face was a little tanned because she had worked hard under the sun for a long time. Her hands were also frostbitten, and the knuckles of her two hands were even deformed because they had been soaked in cold water for a long time..
