There was one more thing he didn't say: once you accept the sandalwood plaque, you're already a member of Qianji Mountain.

evening.

Ye Xiaoxiao drank the porridge but still felt a bit weak all over. The poison was really stubborn, so she went to bed early.

Yu Qingchuan couldn't return to town tonight, so he had to make do with sleeping on the floor with He Jing.

To be honest, since he came here, he has repeatedly pushed his limits, but lying on the ground feels pretty good.

fresh.

As if he had thought of something, he said, "Don't tell Doctor Ye what I told you in the kitchen today. The time is not right."

He Jing seemed too lazy to pay him any attention, and snorted through his nose:

"Ah."

The two little ones on the bed looked at each other. What were they saying?

What things can't I tell my sister-in-law?

What timing isn't right?

He Wuyou and Lu Shi'an both saw doubt in each other's eyes and pricked up their ears, wanting to hear them talk more. However, the two lying on the ground only said this one sentence and then said nothing more.

……

The village chief's house.

"Yuemian! Come and lend a hand! You slut—is she here yet?"

Li Shanhai stood under the eaves, a cigarette dangling from his lips, wearing only a thin garment. He yelled at Zhao Chunxiu, "What are you yelling about? Isn't your daughter already married? I think you're getting more and more confused!"

Zhao Chunxiu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

Yes, her daughter has already quietly gotten married.

She had nothing—no decent clothes, no firecrackers to celebrate, no guests—and she got married quietly like that.

Thinking about this made her feel a little sad.

Most importantly, with one less person in the family, all the housework falls on my shoulders. There's no one to lend a hand.

Everyone else has a dutiful daughter-in-law, why am I so miserable!

She hastily wiped away her tears.

“Cry, cry, cry! What’s there to cry about! At least he’s still alive. A lot of people in the village are telling me to drown him in a pig cage! Getting married will solve everything, and he won’t have to embarrass me every day.”

Li Shanhai lifted his foot and patted the dust off his shoes, complaining, "You don't even bother to wash these shoes! They've turned gray from wearing black shoes all this time!"

Zhao Chunxiu snorted coldly and gave him a cold look: "Wash them yourself if they're dirty! Yuemei used to wash them for you, but now that she's married, she's washing her father-in-law's shoes. What right do you have to wash yours? Tch!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shanhai felt embarrassed and left the house with a stiff expression.

"Old man, where are you going?" Zhao Chunxiu asked from inside the door.

"Let's go into the He family's house and see. I heard that Xiao Xiao was bitten by a snake."

"Old man, what business is it of yours how to handle other people's affairs? You're really meddling in other people's business!"

"How is that meddling? As the village chief, isn't my job to care about the villagers?"

"Pah! You old geezer, don't think I don't know what you're up to—Pah, pah, pah—"

Zhao Chunxiu spat in Li Shanhai's direction and slammed the door shut.

Hmph! Bitten by a snake? These days, quite a few people get bitten by snakes, but this is the first time I've seen this damn thing so diligent.

Zhao Chunxiu thought for a moment, and a vicious expression appeared on her face. She hoped that she would be poisoned to death by snake venom.

Ye Xiaoxiao should have died long ago, she should have died the moment she was picked up, because she ruined her son's life.

Back then, she couldn't conceive for a long time. She heard people say that if she took in someone else's child to raise, she could bring them her own child.

Therefore, with this in mind, she did not object when Li Shanhai took Ye Xiaoxiao in.

Sure enough, she became pregnant not long after.

The villagers all said that it was because they were not destined to have children, but Ye Xiaoxiao was destined to have siblings.

Zhao Chunxiu was initially delighted upon hearing this. However, she later heard that having a girl in the family would prevent a boy from coming, and the child brought in would likely also be a girl. She didn't believe it at first, until Li Yuemei was born.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chunxiu felt a surge of resentment. If it weren't for Ye Xiaoxiao protecting her at home, Yue Mei would have given birth to a boy. If she had given birth to a boy, her life wouldn't be so miserable.

Well, that bitch got bitten by a snake, and none of the other people in the village who had been bitten by snakes survived more than a few days.

She certainly wasn't an exception.
