Three Women in the Cage

After their last meeting, Yang Yu refused to refuse, and the marriage was finalized. Ever since the neighbors heard that Yang Yu's betrothed was a handsome and tall veteran, they were somewhat envious and said that Yang Yu was very lucky to have found a good match.

Inevitably, some unmarried girls from the neighborhood would come to join in the fun, hoping to find a good match, and more and more sisters would come to visit Yang Yu. However, one of these sisters eventually became Yang Yu's sister-in-law. She was Liu Chunxiang, a few years younger than Yang Yu, petite and lovely. Since Yang Yu got engaged, she had been the most frequent visitor, calling her "Sister Yu" and being very sweet. She would also bring snacks, and over time, the two became close friends.

That day, Liu Chunxiang came to Yang Yu's house again. As soon as he entered, he saw Yang Yu sewing. "Sister Yu!" Liu Chunxiang called out with a smile. Yang Yu looked up and saw that it was Liu Chunxiang. She quickly put down her sewing and stood to greet him.

"Chun Xiang, why are you here again?"

"My mother asked me to come and learn needlework from you. She said you have very skillful hands."

"What's the big deal? Come over here more often and I'll teach you. It's very simple needlework. Practice makes perfect."

As he spoke, Yang Yu began to teach Liu Chunxiang seriously. Chunxiang also learned from him. After a while, he had sketched out the general shape of a scarf.

"Sister Yu, you are really amazing, but this scarf looks a bit big. Is this for Brother Yang?"

Yang Su jumped out and said, "Eldest sister has crocheted several scarves for each of us. This one should be for Brother Zhang. Because every time I see Eldest sister crocheting this scarf, she always smiles foolishly and asks us what color and pattern are suitable for boys. Isn't this obvious? She didn't pay so much attention when she crocheted for us." After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and whispered in Liu Chunxiang's ear.

Liu Chunxiang had an expression of understanding, but still couldn't help but speak, "Sister Yu, I really want to see your blind date. I'm getting more and more curious. I don't know if there are any brothers in his family. What do you think? If we can marry together, we can still continue to be good sisters," Liu Chunxiang said casually.

"You know what, they have many brothers. I'll ask them for you later." Just like that, they were laughing and chatting, it was really lively. But who knew that if they really became sisters-in-law, they might not even be sisters anymore.

Just as they were talking happily, Yang Su suddenly called out happily, "Sister, sister, look, Brother Zhang and the others are here."

What caught my eye was the young man walking towards me. He was wearing a casual sports suit and looked particularly lazy and comfortable. Looking up, his fair face revealed a unique temperament, and his facial contours were very soft, giving people a gentle and friendly feeling.

Especially those peach blossom eyes, when he looks at others, there is always a hint of tenderness in his eyes, as if he can melt people's hearts. Looking down, his pair of slender and straight legs are even more eye-catching, each step is full of power, he walks slowly, the whole picture is like a beautiful painting.

Although it wasn't her first time seeing the young man, Yang Yu was still drawn to him, her eyes fixed on him until he approached. Liu Chunxiang, on the other hand, was clearly seeing him in person for the first time and was still enchanted, not recovering until Yang Su tugged on her arm. By the time she realized what was happening, her face had grown hot.

She asked Yang Yu nervously, "Sister Yu, is this your blind date? I've heard she's pretty, but I didn't expect her to be this good-looking." She then looked a little embarrassed and lowered her head shyly. "Well, let me introduce you to Zhang Erfa," Yang Yu introduced to Liu Chunxiang.

"Hello, I'm Liu Chunxiang, Sister Yu's good sister. I was just discussing whether I could be Sister Yu's sister-in-law," Liu Chunxiang half-jokingly said as she took the lead in extending her hand to Zhang Erfa.

Zhang Erfa, while good-looking, isn't very good at speaking, which lowers his impression a bit. He stutters a bit, and his expressions are a bit illogical, but fortunately, it's easy to ignore this at first because of his appearance.

Therefore, Liu Chunxiang became more determined to become Yang Yu's sister-in-law, thinking that since Zhang Erfa looked like this, his brother should not be too bad.

Yang Yu then realized that Uncle Zhang and his mother had also come along and were talking to his father in the yard. There was a pile of candy on the dining table, and Yang Su was squatting beside it, eating some, saying, "The candy that Big Brother Zhang brought is really delicious. Big Brother Zhang, you should have one too."

Yang Su tried to get Zhang Erfa to play with her with sweet words. Zhang Erfa was not good at speaking, so before he could reply, Yang Yu said, "You are just greedy. Don't bother your eldest brother Zhang. Give some to your third brother. He's been studying all day. Eat some candy and take a break." "Okay, I'll give it to him," Yang Su turned and walked out.

Just at this moment, Yang's mother came out of the kitchen. While wiping her hands with her apron, she said to Yang Yu, "Yu'er, there is no water at home. Go and fetch some. Once you come back, I will cook." Yang Yu agreed obediently and turned around to fetch a bucket of water.

When she came out of the kitchen, Zhang Erfa was already waiting at the door. He smiled and said to Yang Yu, "Let's go. I'll go with you." Yang Yu nodded, and the two of them walked out together.

They walked along the path, chatting and laughing all the way. The sunlight shone on them, reflecting the youthful energy and innocent smiles. Yang Yu's laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the air and filling the entire village with vitality.

Meanwhile, Liu Chunxiang stood silently in the distance, watching Yang Yu and Zhang Erfa walk away. A complex mix of emotions welled up in her heart, a mix of loss and helplessness. She realized her presence no longer made sense, so she turned and quietly left.

Zhang Erfa helped to fetch water, and Yang Yu went to the kitchen to help. With Yang Yu's help in the kitchen, Yang's mother felt obviously much more relaxed.

Soon, a table of dishes was ready, and the two families sat together again. Zhang's father and mother praised Yang Yu again, and then Yang's father and Zhang's father kept clinking glasses. As they drank, they talked about everything from the sky and the ground. The more they talked, the more they got along. The more they drank, the more they drank. Before they knew it, they had already drunk several bottles of baijiu. When they were drinking to their heart's content, they suddenly slapped their thighs and set a date for the wedding.

"Then let's set it for six months from now!" Zhang's father said, "How about December 12th? That day is a good day for a wedding.

"Great!" Father Yang agreed, "This is a good day."

In this way, a wedding was finalized under the influence of alcohol by the two fathers.
