"What are you doing?" At that moment, a middle-aged couple approached.

Sheng Yingran recognized them as Tong Mengxi's parents. They had visited their daughter in Shanghai when she was a freshman in college. The parents of the other three members of the group were also there, and the four uncles and aunts had a meal together. They even had a group chat.

Because the four girls are as close as sisters, they are all considered goddaughters by each other's parents.

Sheng Yingran hurriedly ran up to them: "Uncle and Aunt, my aunt is trying to force my brother to marry your daughter."

The father looked ahead and saw a tall, handsome young man standing next to his daughter.

Tong's mother's eyes lit up: "What a handsome young man! He and Mengxi are a perfect match."

"Auntie!!" Sheng Yingran stamped her feet anxiously, "My brother is still young, he's only just come of age."

"Aren't you an only child? When did your mom give birth to a younger brother?"

"He's not my biological brother, but someone I adopted. We're closer to him than biological brothers, and he's also adopted Mengxi as his older sister. We heard that Mengxi was sick, so we came to see her, but we never expected to encounter something like this when we arrived."

"I'll handle this." Tong's father patted Sheng Yingran's shoulder and walked to the middle. He looked around at the villagers, and when the light fell on his aunt and Xiao Wei, he could tell at a glance what had happened.

"What era are we living in? Do they still practice forced buying and selling?"

Aunt: "Butterfly Mother's arrangement."

Tong's father: "Nonsense! This young man is my daughter's godbrother. My daughter was sick, and he and his three other sisters came to visit her. It's not some matchmaking arranged by Butterfly Mother."

"But……"

"No buts! I'll make the decisions about my daughter's marriage; you have no say in this!"

Tong's father had always worked away from home and was much more open-minded than this group of stubborn old men. Moreover, this concerned his daughter's lifelong happiness, and he couldn't let his daughter's marriage become a sacrifice for the village's rituals.

Aunt: "Tong Lao Er, in order to protect your daughter, you have violated the clan rules and angered Butterfly Mother. Our Miao village will be punished. According to our rules that have been passed down for thousands of years, you will be expelled from our Miao village and will never be allowed to set foot here again."

Tong Mengxi: "This is my home. You think you can just tell us to leave?"

Aunt: "You have let down our Miao village and gone against the marriage arranged by Butterfly Mother. You must leave."

Tong Mengxi: "Butterfly Mom didn't arrange for me to marry Su Jing, and she explained everything clearly. They came to visit me."

The eldest aunt sneered: "Still being stubborn. In order to make you give up and avoid saying that I, as your eldest aunt, am being unreasonable, according to the clan rules, unless a whole sky full of butterflies flies in, which means that the butterfly mother agrees to let you stay, you must leave. Don't you all agree?"

"Yes, get out!"

"Get out of our Miao village."

"Our Miao village has no traitors like you."

All the villagers were furious.

Suddenly, the Tong family was thrust into the spotlight.

"What should we do about Mom and Dad?" Tong Mengxi cried anxiously.

Tong's father: "As long as our family is together, anywhere is home."

The three children felt a mix of emotions upon seeing this scene.

Ayina: "I am also from an ethnic minority, and I was shocked. I never expected that the Miao people in this village would have such a rigid and backward mindset."

Luo Meina: "A sky full of butterflies? How is that possible?"

Sheng Yingran: "Sigh, I don't know what to do."

Tong's father looked at Su Jing: "Little Su, I'm sorry you had to see this. I apologize. You came all this way and I'm sorry you had to suffer."

"Uncle, you're too kind. As long as Mengxi is alright, I'm not wronged," Su Jing said. "It's just that I'm putting you in a difficult position, Uncle."

Dad: "It's okay, even without you, today would have been the same."

Su Jing looked at the sky: "Sister, are there any previous cases?"

Tong Mengxi said, "This is impossible. It was just something made up to justify driving away people who violated clan rules."

Su Jing paused for a moment, then said, "I think it's possible!"

Aunt: "You think it's possible? You're crazy! What's Tong Lao Er still standing there for? Pack your things and get out!"

"Wait!" Su Jing said, "The decision of whether to stay or leave isn't up to you, it's up to Mother Butterfly. That's what you said. I believe there will be swarms of butterflies tonight. If you kick people out now, isn't that disrespectful to your belief in Mother Butterfly?"

After Su Jing's words, the villagers dared not drive the Tong family away for the time being, as they believed too much in Butterfly Mother.

Aunt sneered, "Fine, today's the difference. If you don't have it by 8 PM, you're all fired tonight!"

The three children immediately surrounded her: "SuSu bought us a few hours of time, what should we do now?"

Tong Mengxi looked at her parents.

Tong's father: "Thank you for your kindness, Xiao Su. Let's go back and pack our things."

Tong's mother nodded and left with Tong's father.

"Let's go!" Auntie called for everyone to leave.

Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately hugged Shen Yingran's shoulders: "Sister, you scared me to death just now."

Sheng Yingran glanced at the lipstick on Su Jing's lips: "You enjoyed that kiss just now, didn't you?"

"Huh?" Su Jing was taken aback. "Whether it was true or not, it was all to save Sister Mengxi."

Sheng Yingran sighed, pulled out a wet wipe and frantically wiped Su Jing's mouth, complaining, "Mengxi, why are the people from your hometown so feudal and superstitious?"

Tong Mengxi: "Sigh~ It's a long story."

Ayina looked at the sky: "How is that possible?"

Su Jing: "It will definitely be over."

"Okay, let's sit here and wait. If it doesn't come down, we'll have to leave."

The four little ones sat in a row, gazing at the sky.

Time passed second by second, the blue sky was replaced by the setting sun, and the moon climbed back into the night sky, still without any movement.

My aunt returned with everyone: "It's almost 8 o'clock, and there isn't a single butterfly. Are you going to leave on your own, or are we going to kick you out?"

Luo Meina: "There are still 5 minutes left, what's the rush?"

"Let's see what you have to say next!"

at this time.

Tong's parents packed their luggage and came out, gazing at the night sky.

Time slips away.

Aunt glanced at the time: "Five minutes are up."

Dad: "Let's go."

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad," Tong Mengxi said guiltily.

Dad: "Silly daughter, what's there to be sorry about? As long as we're a family, anywhere is home. Let's go."

Sigh... Tong Mengxi sighed and looked around the village where she had grown up.

The three little ones helped her come down early and coaxed Tong Mengxi.

"Don't be sad, from now on our home is your home."

Tong Mengxi just gave a wry smile.

After saying that, she turned around, her Miao costume jingling like silver bells, and a tear fell from her eye.

A night breeze blew by.

Tong Mengxi felt something fly by. She reached out her hand, and a butterfly landed in her palm. Her eyes flickered, and the butterfly fluttered its wings and flew into the night sky. She looked up and saw butterflies fluttering all over the night sky.

"It's truly a sky full of butterflies!"

At this moment, the villagers also saw butterflies fluttering all over the sky.

"The Butterfly Mother has appeared!"

"Mother Butterfly won't let them leave!"

Aunt: "Impossible, how could that be?"

Su Jing: "I said it would happen."

The three children surrounded Su Jing, full of admiration: "Su Su, how did you do that?"

"Shh!" Su Jing whispered, "Eight hundred thousand, drones, releasing butterflies, a large quantity, which caused a slight delay."

Ayina: "So it's all about money."

Tong Mengxi hugged Su Jing, deeply moved.

"Su Su, thank you so much, sob sob~ I don't know how to thank you enough, I can only repay you with my body."

"Huh? Again?"
