A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

People came and went in front of the stall. There wasn't much roe deer meat left, less than three pounds, and about a pound of bones.

Yunlu wiped his sweat and turned to ask, "Brother Qin, how did it go? How much silver did you get?"

"One thousand five hundred coins," Qin Zheng reported.

This was a price he had never paid before; Xiao Luo was better than him.

That's one tael plus thirty coins. Yun Luo was overjoyed and planned to continue hawking, but Qin Zheng stopped her.

As he packed his things, he said, "The roe deer meat is tender. I'll stir-fry it for you and the child when we get back. It'll help you grow taller, and you and the child both need it."

Yunluo, "..."

This man clearly remembered everything she had said while hawking her wares.

The two packed their things and, as Qin Zheng had instructed, went to buy items for their wedding.

After ordering the wedding clothes, Qin Zheng bought a large bag of other wedding items, including candles and other wedding attire, and carried them all.

"Xiao Luo?"

Yunluo turned her head and saw Yunlan, who was shopping in Washi, carrying a piece of cloth and some headdresses in her basket, staring at them.

"What a coincidence, you're here to buy things too?" Yunlan took two steps forward, smiling, but her face was full of doubt.

How do these two have money to buy things?

And why buy so much at once?

She carried large and small bags, as well as osmanthus cakes from Old Zhou's shop in town. These were expensive, and even though she had a lot of pocket money, she only ate them once or twice a year.

This time, she came with her boyfriend again. He went to buy her osmanthus cake, and she waited here.

Yunlu married Qin Zheng, who was considered unlucky for her. Shouldn't their life together be miserable?

Why is it different from what she thought?

Are roe deer really that profitable?

Yunlu could easily see through her thoughts. "Cousin, Brother Qin and I still need to buy some things, so we'll have to talk to you later."

"Xiao Lan, the dessert you wanted. Old Zhou's osmanthus cake has gone up in price again, so I bought one from another store. Anyway, they're all osmanthus cake, so they don't taste any different." Li Pinglang came over, and only after speaking did he notice the couple standing opposite him.

His face looked rather grim, and Yunlan's face looked even worse.

If Yunluo can eat Old Zhou's Osmanthus Cake, why can't Yunlan?

And doing it in front of her, isn't that embarrassing her?

For a moment, Yunlan was unsure whether to accept the osmanthus cake or not.

Yunlu suppressed a laugh and said calmly, "If you wanted to eat Old Zhou's Osmanthus Cake, you should have said so earlier. Brother Qin bought me two jin (1 kg) of it. Otherwise, you can have some."

This comparison made it clear who the two men were.

Qin Zheng was a notorious pauper in the village, yet he bought two catties of osmanthus cake for his wife right away. The Li family, on the other hand, were well-off and had the title of scholar, but now they even complained that buying osmanthus cake was too expensive, even though they were selling inferior goods as superior ones.

That's a real slap in the face!

Yunlan's face contorted in anger, wishing she could strangle this smug bitch. She gritted her teeth and said indifferently, "No need, I still have things to buy, so I'll be leaving now."

"Xiao Lan!" Li Pinglang didn't have time to exchange pleasantries with the two and chased after them.

“Pfft… A pedantic scholar dares to compare himself to my husband.” Yun Luo laughed. After she finished speaking, she noticed that the man next to her was staring at her with deep eyes. She blushed and said, “Brother Qin, let’s go shopping.”

"it is good."

After buying their things, the sun was already setting, so the two hurried back to the village.

When they arrived home, no one was home. Yun Luo guessed that Xiao Jie had taken the two children home, so she told Qin Zheng and went to the Yun family to pick up the two children.

The Yun family had two doors. After the family split up, the younger brother and mother went through the smaller door. She went in and her mother was cooking. Xiao Jie was in the backyard with the two children, and their happy voices could be heard clearly.

"mother."

"Why did you come in person? Xiao Jie could have taken the two kids home later." Zhou Rong said while cooking. After she finished speaking, she glanced outside, wiped her hands, and lowered her voice, "Xiao Luo, things between you and Xiao Zheng happened so suddenly, I didn't even have time to ask. What exactly happened between you two?"

Strangely enough, Xiao Jie went twice but couldn't get any answers.

Yunlu simply explained the whole story.

Zhou Rong's heart pounded as she listened. She knew it wasn't that simple. While thanking Qin Zheng for his great help, she also felt sorry for him, "Xiao Luo, how does he treat you? Let me see you."

"Mother!" Yun Luo chuckled and pulled Zhou Rong's hand away. "I'm not missing any limbs, I'm fine, Brother Qin doesn't eat people!"

Zhou Rong glared at her. These past few days, rumors had been circulating that Xiao Luo had gone to Qin Zheng's house and that she might only live a few days. She was worried sick every night. "You can't lie to your mother!"

"Mother, Brother Qin is just a little cold-hearted, but otherwise he's fine. Look, doesn't my complexion look much better? It's all thanks to him taking care of me."

Zhou Rong pinched her cheeks, which seemed to have gained some weight and become rosier, and she felt relieved. "That's good. You can't be the same as before. Be more patient. When you go back, take some rabbit meat and steamed buns back to Xiao Zheng."

Rabbit meat and potatoes were simmering in the pot, smelling delicious.

"Okay." Yun Luo smiled as she assisted her.

"Xiao Luo, your third uncle and aunt came back today, just this morning during lunch."

Uncle Yunluo, also known as Yun Gui, was the apple of the eye of the Yun family matriarch. After getting married, he felt that there was no business to be had in farming in the village all day long, so he took his wife Zhao Chunzhi to go out and do business to make big money.

The Yun family elders disagreed, and it caused quite a stir. The two of them left and didn't return for over a year.

"Mom, they've made a lot of money?"

Zhou Rong shook her head. "They said they made a lot of money, had a baby, and came back to rest during their pregnancy. Your grandma was overjoyed. Your grandpa had some reservations, but I guess they're over now. Xiao Luo, if you run into those two, avoid them. They both have sharp tongues."

Moreover, they are heartless.

The mother and daughter were chatting when Zhao Guizhi went to the outhouse. She squatted there for a long time, smelling a fragrance that smelled like meat, but not pork; it seemed to be wild game.

Her eyes lit up, and she pulled up her pants and ran into her room, shouting, "Honey, can you smell it?"

"Huh?" Yun Gui leaned against the headboard, half-closing his eyes, looking lazy.

"The smell is coming from my second sister-in-law's house. Didn't you see her go out to the outhouse last night and come back carrying a rabbit? It seems so. They're stewing it now. Shall we go take a look?"

She hadn't had a proper meat meal in ages, and just thinking about it made her mouth water.

Yun Gui's eyes darted around, and he sprang to his feet with a swift movement. He sniffed the air and realized it was true. "Let's go take a look."

When the couple arrived, Yunluo's family was having dinner. Rabbit meat is naturally delicious, and Zhou Rong's cooking skills were excellent, so they enjoyed their meal very much.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you eating? It smells so good! My baby kicks me as soon as it smells this." Zhao Chunzhi saw the meat in the pot and couldn't wait to go over and have a hearty meal.

"Third brother, sister-in-law, you're here. Come and sit down." Zhou Rong never expected that her hard work in making stewed meat would attract two people. Although she was reluctant, she had no choice but to let them in.

Yun Luo's lips twitched as he looked at Zhao Chunzhi's flat stomach and sneered, "Third Aunt, my nephew is really something else. He's not even fully grown yet, and he can already kick you?"

"you……"

"Mother, we've all finished eating. You can save this meat for tomorrow." Yunlu didn't even look at their expressions. She picked up the meat, stood up, and suddenly remembered something. "Third Uncle and Third Aunt, have you eaten yet? If you had come earlier, you could have had a meal too."

"We can still..."

"It's such a pity. Third Aunt is pregnant and can't eat too much. Otherwise, I would have liked to let her have a few pieces of meat. Third Uncle, don't you think so?"

Two shameless gluttons came attracted by the aroma.

She remembered that when the two of them were at home, they often bullied her mother and the others.
