Wang Daniu had set up a banquet with flowing courses of dishes in the eight big tiled rooms to treat everyone in the village, young and old.
The scene was truly lively with the beating of drums and gongs and the constant crackling of firecrackers spreading the aroma of the food throughout Peach Blossom Village.
At the banquet, a few women were eating their fill, their faces shiny with grease, and in their eyes flickered envy.
"Who would've thought, the ancestors in the old Wang family's tomb blessed them, and Wang Daniu has finally made something of himself."
"Forget it, what 'Divine Doctor'? Wasn't he once a lazy hoodlum just waiting for his end? And now he's better off than we are."
"That's right, he's a real nouveau riche, Wang Daniu must've tripped on dog turds and ended up with luck."
Country folk are like that, they can't stand seeing others prosper and get ahead in life, especially when it's someone doing better than their own family.
