Yuan Junyao was enjoying her meal when Zhang Lai Fu came again.

These people eat wild vegetable porridge, brown rice, and steamed corn bread all day long, and they don't eat meat once in a year or two. Naturally, when they smell the aroma of meat, they all come over eagerly.

Zhang Laifu swallowed his saliva, squatted down and said, "How can you eat alone? You picked up a rabbit but didn't even take it home."

Yuan Junyao rolled her eyes at him and said disdainfully, "Why should I take it back? I picked up the rabbit and you came right up to me. No one has called me for dinner since I came back yesterday, so why didn't you tell me?"

Zhang Laifu explained: "Mom said that you didn't go back to eat by yourself, and Mom didn't say that you couldn't eat!"

Yuan Junyao said with a smile: "Yesterday I was keeping vigil, and mother only brought you food, but not mine. What do you think she meant?"

"Mom, I must have been negligent for a moment!" Zhang Lai Fu explained awkwardly.

In fact, what he was thinking was, since he didn't ask Yuan Junyao to keep vigil, why didn't she go back to eat.

But he didn't dare say that keeping vigil was a filial act.

Yuan Junyao changed the subject and said, "Then go get the shoes my mother made for me. I don't want those two new clothes and jewelry, but the shoes were made by my mother and don't belong to your Zhang family!"

"Aren't you wearing...?" Zhang Lai Fu said as he looked down and realized that the shoes on Yuan Junyao's feet didn't fit.

Yuan Junyao sneered, "These are my sister's shoes. It's ridiculous that after marrying into your family, not only can I not afford food or clothes, but even my shoes can only be worn out."

Zhang Laifu was stimulated by this and immediately stood up and said, "I'll go get you a pair of shoes."

He was afraid of losing face. He couldn't even imagine how embarrassed their family would be if Yuan Junyao returned to Yuanjia Village wearing those worn-out shoes.

Yuan Junyao stopped looking at him and continued eating.

Using Zhang Lai Fu to get the shoes also saved her a lot of trouble.

When Zhang Laifu returned home, everyone in the family was eating brown rice without any taste.

They looked at the door eagerly, imagining that Zhang Lai Fu would come back with delicious rabbit meat.

The result disappointed them, as Zhang Lai Fu returned empty-handed.

Zhang Laiyan said dissatisfiedly: "Where's the rabbit meat? Brother, why didn't you bring the rabbit meat back?"

Song Chunlan put down her chopsticks in anger and cursed, "Yuan Junyao, that little bitch, how dare she eat alone!"

Zhang Laifu said, "Mom, please get Junyao a pair of shoes. Didn't her mother make two pairs for her when she got married?"

Yuan Junyao wore new shoes on her wedding day, and the other pair was placed in the dowry box.

The original owner was a thrifty person and thought that the old shoes could still be worn, so he brought the old shoes with him when he went back to get clothes.

So she only wore one of her new shoes for three days. When she changed into her old shoes and went to the mountains to cut grass for pigs, the shoes had already been taken away by Song Chunlan.

Song Chunlan said unhappily, "Isn't she wearing shoes? They look new to me."

Zhang Laifu said, "Those belong to her sister. They don't fit her feet. The previous ones were really torn and couldn't be worn anymore. If she wears a pair of shoes like that, people will say something. After all, how can a daughter-in-law who has only been married for a month not even be able to afford shoes?"

"No, if she wears it, what should I wear?"

Before Song Chunlan could say anything, Zhang Laiyan was already unwilling to do so, because her mother had promised her that she would give her Yuan Junyao's new shoes after a while. She had tried them on and they fit perfectly.

Zhang Laifu frowned, looked at Song Chunlan and asked, "Mom, what do you mean? Didn't you say you were just keeping them for Junyao? Why did you give her shoes to Laiyan?"

Song Chunlan explained, "Don't listen to your sister's nonsense. She saw that Junyao's shoes were beautiful and asked me to make her a pair. I coaxed her and told her to ask her sister-in-law to give her a pair, and she took it seriously."

Zhang Laiyan lowered her head and dared not say a word. She knew she had let the cat out of the bag.

Zhang Laifu's expression softened and he said, "Get her a pair of shoes first, and I'll persuade her to come back."

Song Chunlan thought: Yuan Junyao is probably in a bad mood. Anyway, the shoes are hers, and one pair has been worn. I'll just give them to her, and find an excuse to give the other pair to Zhang Laiyan later.

Anyway, the most important thing now is to coax the person back home. After all, someone still needs to do the housework.

And the rabbits and pheasant eggs can also be brought back to improve the food.

Thinking of this, she went into the house, took out Yuan Junyao's shoes, and handed them to Zhang Lai Fu.

"I told you I was just keeping it for her. You should call her back immediately. We are all family. Why make such a fuss?"

Zhang Lai Fu took the shoes and went to the cowshed again.

Yuan Junyao was already full and satisfied. She had eaten the whole big rabbit and drank the egg soup. Now there was only a pile of residue left on the ground.

He frowned, handed the shoes to Yuan Junyao, and said dissatisfiedly: "How come you finished eating everything and didn't leave any for home?"

Yuan Junyao took the shoes and put them on, then said jokingly, "When did I say I wanted to stay home? I didn't say I wanted to go home!"

"You!" Zhang Lai Fu was speechless because Yuan Junyao really didn't say that.

Now that they had finished eating, what else could he say? He just coaxed her softly, "Well, you've finished eating, and you've changed your shoes. You can go home now, right?"

The two have been married for more than a month, and now it's time to consummate the marriage.

Yuan Junyao looked at his inexplicably red face, not knowing what he was thinking. She said in a cold voice: "Grandma will be buried soon. To show my filial piety, I will stay here and guard her. We can talk about other things later!"

Zhang Lai Fu felt ashamed when he heard this.

Yes, grandma just died and hasn’t been buried yet, what is he thinking?

He really wanted to slap himself twice right now.

"Then I'll stay here with you!"

Yuan Junyao didn't say anything else.

Zhang Lai Fu felt that Yuan Junyao was always throwing tantrums like a little girl.

Zhang Lai Fu actually stayed that night.

When Zhang Lai Fu saw that he stayed, he went home.

He was almost bitten to death by mosquitoes in the cowshed, and the door-plank bed was not comfortable to sleep on, and his whole body ached.

So the door bed became Yuan Junyao's sleeper again.

Zhang Lai Fu naturally wouldn't compete with her for it.

Zhang Guiyun is a grown man, how can he possibly compete with his niece's wife for the bed?

In fact, among these two rooms, only Zhang Guiyun is relatively normal.

Anyway, Yuan Junyao had never heard him say anything outrageous, nor had she seen him do anything outrageous.

He was quite devoted to his grandmother, but he was afraid of his wife and dared not say a word when Niu Jinlian spoke.

Yuan Junyao sat cross-legged on the bed with her eyes closed as if she was resting.

The mosquitoes still didn't bite her, so Zhang Lai Fu spent the whole night swatting mosquitoes.

Zhang Guiyun took some straw, lit it, and used it to smoke out the mosquitoes in the house, but it was choking.

Yuan Junyao, who was originally in a state of meditation, was choked awake.

She was speechless. Fortunately, he stopped fumigating after a while, but there were indeed fewer mosquitoes.
