A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"It's nothing, you should go back now." Zhou Hao's eyes showed a hint of impatience.

Wan Haitang immediately became unhappy, grabbing Zhou Hao's sleeve and demanding, "Explain yourself! What happened to me? Am I the bad guy?"

She works so hard to take care of this family, isn't that wrong?

Zhou Hao originally didn't want to argue, but now he had no choice but to speak up.

He glanced at her, his smile turning cold. "Your sister-in-law is sick and resting at home this morning. I asked you to cook first, but you only brought enough for one person? Qin Zheng and I are two big men, how are we supposed to divide it?"

"Why can't we share? We'll give each of you two two steamed buns, plus the ones I brought. That should be enough for the two of you. You know how hard life is at home, don't you? The two kids haven't had new clothes in years!"

"Nothing is more painful than Qin Zheng's family. At least my sister-in-law had Qin Zheng send her several eggs. Qin Zheng and I have been brothers for many years. How am I supposed to face him in the future?"

Unable to reason with him, Wan Haitang cried out, making it seem as if Zhou Hao had bullied her.

Zhou Hao was too lazy to argue with her about these things, so he sighed and went back to work.

……

On the way home, Qin Zheng pushed Yun Luo in the wheelbarrow, which swayed gently. She was in a great mood, as she was one step closer to getting twenty coins.

"Brother Qin, your wife doesn't look too well. We still have some dried rabbit meat left at home. I'll cook some soup and bring it over another day so we can all have a taste."

"it is good."

Qin Zheng's eyes darkened as he recalled the meal he had that morning.

Actually, he should have eaten before coming back, but the food was enough for one man, but not enough for two.

Qin Zheng didn't want to think the worst of people, especially since it was his brother's wife.

The trees on both sides were lush and green, and birds sang. Yunlu listened to their whispers, a smile that she couldn't shake off.

"Little girl, I've finally found you!"

A sudden sound came, and with a "bang," a figure flipped down from the tree, landed steadily on the ground, and blocked the way with a smile, looking at Yun Luo.

Isn't this the same old shrew who only said half of what he meant before?

Yun Luo tensed up instantly, rolled off the bed, and asked, "You... what are you doing here?"

The old Taoist stroked his white beard, as if about to say something, when he caught sight of Qin Zheng. His eyes widened like a wolf that hadn't eaten for days spotting its prey. He circled Qin Zheng, clicking his tongue in admiration. "Not bad, not bad, young man. Would you like to acknowledge me as your master and come back with me to become a Taoist priest?"

Qin Zheng frowned instantly and said coldly, "I refuse!"

"Hey, don't worry about your little wife. If she's yours, she'll still be yours even if you become a monk. If she's not yours, you..."

"Master!" Yun Luo stepped between the two.

What nonsense is this Taoist priest spouting?

Don't sell her later.

The old Taoist tilted his head, and Yun Luo followed suit, making it impossible for him to see Qin Zheng. "You silly girl, I'm helping you. Do you remember the person I told you about last time who could help you?"

A man with a pure yang body?

Seeing her expression, the old Taoist priest knew she had remembered something and nodded. "That's right, it's right in front of you. If you... um... um..."

Yunlu quickly grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into the old Taoist priest's mouth. The old priest choked and rolled his eyes, pointing at the bun with both fingers, begging Yunlu to take it away.

"Brother Qin, this is a crazy Taoist priest. Last time he even called me a demon. He's talking nonsense. Who knows what else he'll say later? Let's ignore him and go."

Qin Zheng didn't care about any of that; he just felt that the Taoist priest was frivolous.

In particular, they didn't know that there are differences between men and women.

He pushed the wheelbarrow and quickly left with Yunluo.

The old Taoist priest was panting heavily, clutching the steamed bun, and remained depressed for a long time.

You ungrateful brat, you'll be crying next time.

On the way back, Yun Luo glanced behind her several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the old Taoist priest hadn't followed.

"Xiao Luo, when did you see him?"

"That time when we went to reclaim the wasteland, he was talking nonsense."

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, a hint of inquiry in his deep gaze. "Are you afraid of him?"

Yunlu smiled and said, "I'm just afraid he'll trick you into becoming a Taoist priest. You know, Taoist priests can't get married."

Seeing that she looked like a frightened little squirrel, Qin Zheng couldn't help but reach out and rub her head. After he did, they were both a little embarrassed.

Brother Qin, what are you doing?

Should I flirt with her?

It doesn't seem like it.

Yun Luo muttered to herself, and seeing the man leave, she chased after him in a few steps, completely ignoring the awkward situation that had just occurred. Qin Zheng was very understanding and kept quiet about it, making it seem as if the little bit of ambiguity between the two had never happened.

The next day, Yun Luo and Yun Shaojie went to Pear Blossom Village. The village wasn't very close; after crossing a mountain, it would take another hour to reach it. This was Yun Luo's first time visiting the Zhou family since modern times.

It's a bit smaller than the Yun family's house, but judging from the appearance of the house, their lives aren't too bad.

"Come in if you're here. What are you standing there for? Like door gods?" The old woman carrying a winnowing basket in the yard saw the two of them but showed no emotion.

"Grandma, weren't you so sick you couldn't get out of bed?" Yunluo glanced at her and saw that the old lady was in good spirits, as if she could kill a bull, and didn't look sick at all.

The old lady rolled her eyes at the siblings and said irritably, "What, can't I have a good time?"

"Xiao Luo and Xiao Jie are here." Zhou Rong emerged from the kitchen, her eyes darting around, red and swollen, clearly from crying.

Moreover, her mother's neck seemed a little red, as if someone had grabbed her.

"Alright, everyone's here. Rong'er, lead them inside and you can talk to them."

Zhou Rong almost burst into tears, but she forced them back and led the two children into the main room.

"Mom, what's wrong? Who grabbed your neck?" Yun Luo leaned over to take a closer look. It wasn't just around her neck; it was also on her hand. She panicked and instinctively reached out to tug at Zhou Rong's sleeve.

Zhou Rong couldn't hold back her tears, which burst forth. As if afraid that people outside would hear, she quickly covered her mouth. "Xiao Luo, be good, listen to me, and take your brother home."

"Mom, don't scare us, what's wrong?" Yun Shaojie panicked as well.

"Nothing..."

"If Mom doesn't tell me, I'll go ask Grandma."

Zhou Rong was startled and quickly pulled Yun Luo back, telling her the whole story.

"what?"

Yunlu could hardly believe that a mother could do such a thing. Shocked, she quickly regained her composure and asked, "Mother, how are you? Did that person bully you?"

"No, thankfully your grandfather came in." Zhou Rong shook her head; if she had been bullied, she wouldn't be alive.

Yun Shaojie, standing to the side, resembled an enraged little leopard, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes bloodshot. Suddenly, he turned around, about to rush out.

"Little brother!"

Yunlu swiftly pulled the person back, "Don't be impulsive, I have a way!"

Damn it, that brat Zhou Xiongfeng went out gambling and lost all his money. He couldn't pay it back, so he pawned his mother to someone else.

What's even more outrageous is that the debt collector had already come once, and that old bastard Niu Erfeng actually locked his mother and the man in the same room, trying to get them to have sex first and pay later.

Look at this, is this something a human being would do?

Beast!
