Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

"Sister, sister, I'm back!" Qiu Guo pushed open the yard while shouting all the way. He saw Chunni, who was tidying up the vegetable garden beside the yard, with a beautiful smile on her face.

"What makes you so happy?" Looking at Qiuguo's bright smile, Chunni couldn't help but laugh too.

"That Wenhua next door, didn't she buy a new hairband and a new dress a while ago? It's a style and pattern, and she bought it ready-made at the county department store!"

Qiuguo went to the county town to attend high school and his standards became higher.

She knew that the family had some savings, but what was strange was that her elder sister had never bought her clothes from department stores, and she herself dressed very simply and plainly.

Not understanding what her elder sister was thinking, Qiu Guo shook her head decisively.

Forget it, never mind, it’s always right to listen to elder sister.

"You don't want Big Sister to buy you new clothes again, do you?"

Xiazhi fetched a bucket of water from the well and carefully watered the vegetable garden.

He also felt sorry for his sister, but there was no adult to take care of her at home, and if she dressed too nicely, it would attract unnecessary attention.

Keeping a low profile and making a fortune quietly is the way to survive at this time.

Didn’t you see that the elder sister didn’t even build the big house she wanted to?

"Humph, no way!" Qiu Guo didn't look at her brother, but turned to continue telling Chunni her story.

"Wen Hua is actually dating Sun Dacai from the village!"

Sun Dacai was the man who broke into Chunni's house under the pretext of drunkenness during the famine last year. He was the youngest of two brothers in the family, and his older brother had married and had a daughter. Sun Dacai's parents neglected to discipline him, making him a well-known second-rate person who spent his days playing with cats and dogs and doing nothing.

"Ah, didn't I hear from Old Lady Wen that she had already shown Wen Huaxiang around? Didn't she say that she had already chosen him?" Chunni had few friends in Lion Rock and was relatively behind the gossip she knew.

"Yes, she said she wanted to find a new wife for her second brother."

There are many friends in Qiuguo Village. She heard this from Tao Xiuhua’s daughter Zhihua.

Ever since Tao Xiuhua went to college, Old Mrs. Sun has been very kind to her two children.

When Zhihua was little, she always wanted to play with her older sister, but her cousin didn't care about her. She liked to follow Qiuguo since she was little.

"Then how do you know she is dating Sun Dacai?" Chunni was still a little gossipy.

There was no way. There was no television or mobile phones in that era, and she was really too bored.

"Just now, she secretly went to meet Sun Dacai and was caught by Old Lady Wen." Qiu Guo said with a slightly red face.

"That Sun Dacai is a second-rate guy, not the kind person who would care for others. Not to mention his widowed mother, who is known to the whole village as being unreasonable and throwing tantrums. Wen Hua's life will not be easy after she marries him!" Chun Ni sighed a little, but she didn't know that these words would come true in the future.

Old Mrs. Wen was furious. She only gave birth to one son and felt very sorry for the Wen family. She finally married a daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that she could give birth to four sons and one daughter in one go.

She was finally able to do justice to that dead guy.

However, although I have a grandson, it is difficult to find a grandson's wife.

She finally agreed on a marriage exchange with Widow Li from the next village.

Her money-losing granddaughter actually has a boyfriend of her own, and he's a second-rate gangster!

Old Lady Wen dragged her granddaughter home, cursing. She was so angry that she punched her granddaughter twice. But it was Old Lady Wen's wife, Wang Meili, who couldn't stand it and stepped forward to stop them.

"You hen that can't lay eggs, get out of here. Wait until I deal with this little girl, and then I'll ask your man to deal with you."

Old Mrs. Wen believed that it was her responsibility to continue the Wen family line, so naturally she looked down on her granddaughter-in-law who only gave birth to a daughter.

"You have to pretend to be kind!" Wen Hua didn't know why, but she wanted to blame everyone and the world.

After hearing this, Wang Meili turned around and went back to the house. She was helping the wrong person and ended up helping him. She was really ungrateful.

When Wen Hua's parents heard that Old Lady Wen had caught Wen Hua committing adultery, they hurried back from the fields.

Mrs. Wen's son Wen Liqun was angry at his daughter for being so shameless, and also angry at his mother for making the matter known to everyone.

"Mom! Stop hitting me. Can you please keep your voice down? Do you want the whole Lion Rock to know?" Wen Ruhai looked honest and simple, but he was very rude to his mother.

"Hey, I'm going to talk to Widow Li tomorrow to see if we can move up the marriage. This way, I can prevent this money-losing guy from causing any more trouble!"

Old Lady Wen spat on the ground, glared at Wen Hua, and prepared to go back to her room to rest.

"Don't even think about it. I won't get married." Wen Hua insisted and refused to get married.

"You have to marry whether you want to or not, or I'll break your legs!" Old Mrs. Wen threatened viciously.

"No, I won't! I love Dacai, and I already have his child." The Wen family fell silent.

Poor Wen Hua, she liked looking at the educated youth's beautiful clothes, liked listening to them reading, and dreamed of falling in love like them, but she hadn't found a good love partner.

"Hey, I'll beat you to death, you shameless girl!"

Wen Ruhai's wife, commonly known as Aunt Wang, who had remained silent all the time, rushed to Wen Hua and slapped Wen Hua twice with all her strength!

She only had this one daughter, and she thought she treated her very well. She didn't let her work in the fields like Chunni did, and she gave her eggs and snacks when she had money, and treated her better than her brothers.

Unexpectedly, she would do such a thing. How will her brothers find wives in the future?

Unlike Wen Dashan's wife's hysterical attitude, Wen Liqun was much calmer.

He glared at Wen Hua with disappointment and walked out.

As for the marriage with Widow Li, it was of course not possible.

A few days later, Sun Dacai's parents came to the Wen family to discuss the marriage between Wen Hua and Sun Dacai.

In less than a month, Wen Hua married Sun Dacai.

I don't know if she had any regrets when she saw Sun Fugui, who was drinking and telling dirty jokes with his friends, completely ignoring her, and her mother-in-law who had a gloomy face the whole time.

Probably not, she has been immersed in the joy of marrying for love and has not noticed anything unusual!
