Divorced woman with child travels through time

Chapter 317 Making a ruckus in the bridal chamber

At Aunt Liu's house, Dazhuang was at a loss for words, wanting to laugh but also wanting to cry. He was surprised to find that his sister-in-law had such ideas. Couldn't she just leave him alone? But his wife, who had just married into the family today, was having a particularly good time...

"Come on, come on, you have to carry your wife across, or you won't be able to." Chen Wenfang said with amusement, having Brother Nie and the others lead about ten people, each squatting in a spot, stretching out one leg to form a long one-leg bridge. Dazhuang had to carry his wife across one by one, while Chen Wenfang and Erniu sat on top, and they had to go over to serve tea.

"Stop looking, hurry up and memorize it, my legs are getting sore," Lü Xiong egged on.

"Hahaha... Hurry up and memorize it!" A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the crowd. The entire hall was packed with people of all ages, men, women, and children, all watching the spectacle.

"That's right, that's right, hurry up and memorize it. My legs may not be as long as his, but they still get sore," Hu Chengxin chimed in.

"Stop looking at it, hurry up and memorize it, my old bones are getting old," Li Huanqiu urged.

"Then I'm going up!" Ye Peining put down the fan that was covering her face and jumped onto Dazhuang's broad back. Dazhuang was well-nourished and grew to be a big man. Although he blushed with embarrassment, he was very steady and carried his wife over the first brick.

Zhuan Tou was shy and didn't want to make things difficult for him. Hu Chengxin, on the other hand, was different. Just as Da Zhuang was about to step over him, Hu Chengxin lifted his leg.

"Sigh~~" Da Zhuang pulled his leg back, then put it down again. Everyone looked at Kele and laughed.

After several attempts, Dazhuang was truly exasperated. Carrying his wife on his back wasn't tiring, but preventing him from passing was a real problem. He couldn't help but beg for mercy, "Good uncle, please let me pass. I'll bring you a jar of the finest wine later."

Hu Chengxin knew when to stop and let him go. The others also showed great kindness and let him pass.

When it was Li Huanqiu's turn, before he could even lift his leg, Dazhuang said, "Uncle, you have wine too, you won't be shortchanged."

Li Huanqiu deliberately made things difficult, saying, "If I compare myself to him, I'm his older brother, so how can I be the same as him?"

"How about I give you two jars then?"

"That's more like it!" Li Huanqiu put his leg down with satisfaction and let him pass.

Hu Chengxin feigned anger and said, "That won't do. We can't favor one over the other."

"I'll make you another jar later," Da Zhuang quickly added, only then was he satisfied.

Wang Xiaoguang, Xiaoming, and Brother Nie are all kind-hearted people who don't usually make things difficult for newcomers. After calling them "uncle" a few times, they all accepted the offer.

After passing a few more acquaintances of Uncle Liu Hai, they passed through smoothly until they encountered Lü Xiong. This man was incredibly cunning; he was very flexible, so he simply lay down, without lifting his leg, and raised one leg straight up into the air...

What to do now? Da Zhuang was dumbfounded. Ye Pei Ning looked down from his back and laughed until her body went limp. Her breath sprayed on Da Zhuang's neck, making him feel itchy, but he still held her tightly, seemingly without any effort.

"Hahaha... What do we do now?" The crowd was laughing hysterically.

“This monkey…” Chen Wenfang was also overjoyed.

"Uncle Lü, please spare me! It's one thing for others to tease me, but you have to tease me too!" Da Zhuang pleaded bitterly. Chu Yi chimed in from the side, "That's right, you're so old and you're still not married? Be careful, we'll tease you next time."

"Oh dear, you dare to threaten me now??" Lü Xiong sat up, trying to grab Chu Yi.

Chu Yi quickly took his hand and said, "Don't be angry. It's not good to get angry when you're old."

Lu Xiong wasn't paying attention when Chu Yi grabbed his hand and shouted, "Hurry up and get in!"

"Wow!!" As he spoke, Fifteen and Chen Xuanyu, along with a group of other children, rushed forward.

Some hugged his arms, some his head, and some even his legs, rendering Lü Xiong instantly immobile. The scene descended into chaos, and Da Zhuang seized the opportunity to run to the front.

"Haha, I'm dying of laughter." Chen Wenfang's eyes were filled with tears, as were the onlookers, including children and the elderly, who were all laughing uncontrollably.

Dazhuang put Ye Peining down, and the two of them bowed respectfully. Aunt Liu and Uncle Liu Hai each drank tea and gave a red envelope. Chen Wenfang and Wang Erniu did the same. Chen Wenfang even took out a heavy silver hairpin from her hair. It was inlaid with pearls and looked expensive.

The house was filled with people making a lot of noise for a long time. The wedding celebrations continued until late at night, when everyone finally let them go.

Perhaps because they had been drinking, everyone fell asleep. The newly bought puppy, Luo Xiaohei, was only two or three months old. Chen Xuanyu couldn't bear to let it sleep outside, so he made a bed for it and placed it by the kang (a heated brick bed). The children would pet the dog before going to sleep, showing how much they loved it.

The assassins on the mountain looked down at the brightly lit and bustling scene below and cursed incessantly. They were feasting on fish and meat while they were feeding mosquitoes; they should all be killed tomorrow…

The next day, Wang Erniu led his brothers directly to the barracks. Dazhuang, having just gotten married and having some extra honeymoon leave, took his wife around the estate, but didn't find anything.

In the evening, after all the lights in the village had been turned off, Zhao Yang finally spoke up, "A-Yue, take A-Xing to scout things out. We'll go check out the area."

"Alright!" the two agreed and left.

They had actually been in Wangjiazhuang for some time, usually hiding in the mountains. They originally planned to assassinate Chen Wenfang when she was alone, but she never did. Yesterday, they received a message from their master that if they didn't act, they would all be dealt with. There was no other way; no matter what, they had to make their move today.

Under the cover of darkness, the group of men in black quickly crept to the edge of the manor, and Xingyue and her companion had already jumped inside. The two tiptoed straight to Chen Wenfang's house.

In the children's shared room, Luo Xiaohei, perhaps having heard something, whimpered and crawled out of his burrow. Chen Xuanyu, who was closest, woke up groggily and asked in a childish voice, "Xiaohei, what's wrong? Are you hungry?"

As soon as he woke up, the two kids next to him mumbled something. Big Bear often took care of the children, so he quickly woke up. He got up, pinched Chen Xuanyu's blanket, and said, "You go to sleep. It's probably hungry. I'll go make it some porridge."

Chen Xuanyu obediently fell asleep again. Da Xiong picked up the whimpering puppy and opened the door. The dark figure that was groping around immediately flashed by and squatted under the eaves.

"Damn it, who puts thorns on their fence? My hands are all pricked..." the undiscovered assassin cursed under his breath. The group of about ten assassins, except for Zhao Yang, all entered the courtyard. Their leader had said that no matter what, the mistress of the house had to die; the others could deal with any trouble they encountered—it wasn't a big deal.

Big Bear went into the kitchen, turned on the light, put the dog on the ground, picked up the covered chicken soup from the pot, scooped some out with a spoon, and tasted it. It was still warm, just right. He then scooped out some eight-treasure porridge from another pot, tasted it, and found it was already mushy. He mixed the two together, stirred it, put it in the dog's bowl next to him, and handed it to Luo Xiaohei.
