A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yunluo tightened the clothes around her neck, stopped listening to anything else, and quickly returned.

When she returned, Zhou Rong was chopping firewood in the yard. The sun was blazing, and her face was covered in sweat, while Xiao Jie was helping her move the firewood.

She felt a sudden surge of anger for no apparent reason.

"Xiao Luo, why did you come back alone? Where's your grandma?"

"He's dead!" Yun Luo said irritably when she saw that no one else was in the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rong's expression changed drastically. She quickly put down the axe in her hand, pulled her two children into the house, closed the door, and didn't forget to peek out the window a couple of times. "You child, why are you cursing your grandma like that? If they hear you, you'll get a good beating."

Yunlu was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger, and to make matters worse, her mother spoke up for Liu Hehua, which only added fuel to the fire. "Mother, if Grandma dies, our lives will be a little easier."

"Sister is right," Yun Shaojie agreed.

Besides beating, scolding, and bullying them, and not letting them eat their fill, what else did Grandma do?

People like that are better off dead.

Zhou Rong's face flushed red, but she dared not speak loudly, afraid that the people in the kitchen would hear. "Xiao Luo, you..."

"Mom, do you know that Grandma took me to the market today not to buy chicks at all? She took me to see Master Wang. Do you know what she meant?"

Wang...Master Wang?

Is that the famous Master Wang from the town?

Zhou Rong was stunned. She knew very well who Master Wang was. Panicked, Zhou Rong pulled Yun Luo over and looked her up and down. "What did your grandma say? Where is Master Wang?"

"You sold me to Master Wang for twenty taels of silver. In a few days, the bridal sedan chair from the Wang residence will come to pick me up," Yunluo said, still somewhat angry.

Yun Shaojie's eyes reddened instantly, he clenched his fists, and was about to rush out, saying, "How could Grandma do this! I'm going to find her."

Zhou Rong pulled him back, she was also flustered. She had never encountered anything like this since she married into the Yun family. "Xiao Luo, are you sure you didn't hear me wrong?"

"That's right, it couldn't be more real."

"What should we do?" Zhou Rong rubbed her hands together, her already pale face turning even whiter.

"The second son's family."

Liu Hehua's joyful voice came over; Yunluo thought the two would chat for a long time, but they returned far too quickly.

Zhou Rong tugged at her clothes and instructed, "Don't go out yet, I'll go and find out what's going on."

The two of them weren't idle either; they peered through the crack in the door.

They were talking in the courtyard, and you could still hear them if you wanted to.

"Sister, how about we run away?" Yun Shaojie tilted his head. In his eyes, his sister was more than good enough for the scholar in the village, and she didn't want to be with that dead ghost, Master Wang.

Yunlu smiled, took the steamed bun and handed it over, "We have no money and no property, where can we run to? These days, people can't even get enough to eat, and beggars can only wait to die."

Yun Shaojie was speechless.

In the courtyard, Liu Hehua glanced at the room where Yun Luo was, "Luo girl, are you back?"

"Yes, I came back a little while before Mom."

"Today, I went to town to arrange a good marriage for her. She was rejected by the scholar's family and was also labeled as a jinx. It's not easy for her to get married. Today, I had to swallow my pride and beg them for a long time to get this marriage. The other party's family is wealthy and powerful. Although it's a second marriage, she'll at least be able to live a life of luxury and won't suffer."

Yun Luo snorted twice.

She swallowed her pride and begged for it?

Old woman, are you sure?

She has the nerve to say it; she's too ashamed to even listen.
