With something weighing on her mind, Gu Chunzhi didn't sleep well that night.

She woke up countless times during the night, wanting to see if her eldest son had returned so she could properly discuss her second son's marriage with him.

Unable to sleep, she simply sat up and waited for her eldest son.

It wasn't until late at night that Lu Yinheng returned, covered in blood.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Chunzhi almost fainted from fright. "Did you encounter a wild beast? Are you badly injured? Are you alright?"

Ji Yunshuang was also awakened by the strong smell of blood and sat up abruptly from beside the fire.

Lu Zilin and his brothers also woke up one after another.

Seeing that his mother was about to wake up other people, Lu Yinheng quickly reassured her, "I'm fine! The blood on my body isn't mine; it's all from wild boars."

Hearing that he was not injured, Gu Chunzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as she relaxed, she asked anxiously, "Um... why did you come back alone? Where is Dalin?"

Aunt Zhou had woken up as soon as Gu Chunzhi spoke.

At this moment, she looked at Lu Yinheng with equal nervousness.

"Don't worry, Aunt Zhou. Dalin is tending to the wild boar by the stream. I'm just back to get my luggage to pack the wild boar meat."

Actually, Lu Yinheng wasn't telling the truth just now.

The blood on his body wasn't all from wild boar.

While they were encircling the wild boar, many of his and Zhou Dalin's wounds reopened. He came back partly to get his luggage to pack the wild boar meat, but mainly to get medicine for his wounds.

He returned quietly, not wanting to disturb his family. But to his surprise, his mother was still awake and discovered him as soon as he returned.

"I'll go help you." Gu Chunzhi hurriedly rummaged through her luggage to see what she could use.

Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go help too!"

Lu Yinheng quickly stopped him, "No need, we still have to travel tomorrow. You're all older, so get some more sleep. It's just a wild boar, Dalin and I can handle it together."

"You don't travel during the day? Not only do you travel during the day, but you also find time to hunt. You work even harder than us. Stop talking and quickly change into some clean clothes and lie down."

Seeing her son's condition, Gu Chunzhi felt extremely distressed and couldn't bring herself to talk to him about the Hu family.

She glanced at her daughter-in-law with dissatisfaction and urged, "Shuangniang, don't just stand there, quickly find some clean clothes for your husband and change him into them."

Ji Yunshuang: "..."

It's not like he doesn't have hands, why should he ask her to change them for him!

However, thinking that she could also have a share of the wild boar meat he brought back, she still decided to reluctantly help him find some clothes.

Before she could even make a move, little Lu Yanqi had already nimbly pulled out Lu Yinheng's clothes and was warily blocking Ji Yunshuang, saying urgently, "Daddy, here are your clothes."

After handing the clothes to his father, he even offered suggestions, saying where there was a secluded spot suitable for changing clothes, and that he would go and keep watch.

Thinking about how Ji Yunshuang had tried to seduce him several times before, Lu Yinheng quickly took the clothes his son gave him and ran away.

Seeing how the father and son treated her like a lustful wolf, Ji Yunshuang laughed in anger.

Although……

This cheap husband of mine does have a pretty face, and his figure... seems alright too.

but……

Men are nothing compared to that wild boar she's never even met, which is much more attractive to her.

It made her seem like she wanted to peep at his body!

Ji Yunshuang clicked her tongue a few times in her mind, then turned and went to the riverbank to look at the wild boar that Lu Yinheng had mentioned.

It has to be said, he really was the dream lover she had never met.

This wild boar not only had fluffy, shiny fur, but it was also quite large.

Hu Xing and his wife, who followed closely behind her, were not in such a good mood.

Both of them thought at the same time that if Lu Yinheng had brought his family instead of Zhou Dalin tonight, then their family could have gotten half of the wild boar, just like the Zhou family.

But now, even if they work hard to help take care of the wild boars, all they can get in the end is a bowl of soup.

Hu Xing, who was initially quite hesitant, gritted his teeth and made a decision after seeing the wild boar.

He looked at Ji Yunshuang and said, "Sister-in-law, what did you think about what we discussed before?"

Ji Yunshuang raised an eyebrow, not expecting him to be in such a hurry.

But after glancing at the large wild boar by the river, he understood.

It seems they were provoked by this wild boar.

She wouldn't believe a second that the cuckolded guy didn't have some ulterior motives.

Although she understood what was going on, Ji Yunshuang pretended to be clueless. "What were we talking about before? What's your decision?"

Yang Zhongmei said anxiously, "It's about what I told your Erlang before, about taking my Dazhou to the mountains to hunt and get some exercise. He said he needed to go back and discuss it with his family. Such a small matter, and you've been discussing it for so long, shouldn't you have come to a decision by now?"

In her anxiety, her voice inevitably rose a few decibels. All the people who had come with Gu Chunzhi and Lu Wuzheng to help turned to look at the two of them.

However, unlike the concerns of the Mu and Zhou families, the Sun family was secretly excited and couldn't wait for the two families to quarrel.

Lu Wuzheng walked over to Ji Yunshuang in a few steps and said, "I told you, going hunting in the mountains is no joke. You could lose your life if you're not careful. If you don't value your own lives, I can't let my older brother take the risk with you. Don't mention this again."

Hu Xing already felt embarrassed by his private refusal, let alone being refused in front of so many people.

Hu Xing's face turned ashen. "Even if my sister breaks off the engagement with you, you're still going to refuse?"

Lu Wu clenched his fists, wanting to break off the engagement without hesitation, but even if it was to be broken off, he couldn't risk his elder brother's life.

But looking at Hu Chunjiao not far away, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to say those angry words.

"Is this also Miss Hu's idea?"

Before anyone knew it, Lu Yinheng had changed his clothes and arrived at the stream.

Looking at his tall and straight figure, and then at Lu Wuzheng, who was half a head shorter than him and seemed mediocre in every way, Hu Chunjiao couldn't suppress her disappointment.

If Lu Wuzheng were as outstanding as her older brother, she would accept marrying a farmer.

But he couldn't compare to his older brother in anything; he didn't care about her at all. It was just a small request, but he made excuses and didn't think about her at all.

She hasn't even stepped inside yet! And he's already showing her no respect. Isn't this making her look bad to so many people?

Now that she's already spoken, if she backs down, wouldn't that mean she's afraid of upsetting the Lu family? She's already lowered her head before even entering the door?

If she really marries into the Lu family, what right will she have to speak? Won't she be at their mercy?

She bit her lip and said, "Yes, that's what I was thinking too."

Upon receiving her affirmative answer, Lu Wuzheng's eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. He said, "In that case, let's annul the engagement."

Gu Chunzhi immediately became anxious, walked over and slapped Lu Wuzheng on the shoulder, scolding him, "You child, how can you talk about such a big thing as breaking off an engagement so casually?"

"Mother, please stop talking. They're trying to use the marriage to manipulate us and force my brother to agree to their unreasonable demands. If we give in this time, it will happen countless times in the future."

After making the decision, Lu Wuzheng's mind gradually became clear.

He said, "We've done everything we could to take care of them along the way. But they—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Zhongmei angrily interrupted, "What do you mean by taking care of us as much as possible? Don't talk nonsense."
