A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Won't we need an oxcart to clear the land?" Yunluo asked. The land on the mountain is hard and full of rocks, so a hoe is not suitable.

Qin Zheng nodded, "I've already spoken to the Sun family. I'll borrow their oxcart for a bit. I'll go get the ox tomorrow morning, feed it some hay, and return it once it's full."

The villagers didn't like Qin Zheng, and Yun Luo guessed that Brother Qin must have put in some effort to borrow the cow.

"By the way, Brother Qin, when the family has more money in the future, we'll build you a bigger bed so you won't have to sleep in the woodshed anymore."

The woodshed is hard and small; Brother Qin, who is so tall, must be very uncomfortable there.

As she finished speaking, she noticed that Qin Zheng's eyes were exceptionally deep, and the way his Adam's apple bobbed up and down made Yun Luo feel that he was particularly sexy.

Their eyes met, and they both saw themselves reflected in each other's eyes.

Yunlu felt her face burning and didn't dare to look at him, so she quickly turned her face away.

"Xiao Luo."

The deep voice coming from Qin Zheng's throat was exceptionally pleasant to hear.

Yunlu stopped and looked at him.

Go to bed early, you'll be very tired tomorrow!

"Okay," Yun Luo replied with a smile.

At night, Yunlu slept soundly. In her hazy state, she seemed to hear that voice again, ethereal and otherworldly.

"In order for the blood of the demon race to awaken, a man with a pure yang body must be found."

The same sentence kept repeating itself in her ear. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. The sky was still dark.

A man with a pure yang body?

Where is she supposed to find a man like that?

There wasn't even a hint, not even a clue to tell me the person's name or any distinguishing features.

Yun Luo secretly grumbled to herself, thinking of Qin Zheng.

Even if she were to seek out a man with a pure yang body to awaken her demon bloodline in the future, it wouldn't be at this time. She has married Brother Qin, and regardless of whether she likes him or not, or whether they have consummated their marriage, she must fulfill her duty.

Yunlu's thoughts were a jumbled mess, starting with herself and then moving on to the mother of the two children beside her.

The mother of these two children must have run away, or she must still be alive, otherwise why is there no memorial tablet for her in the house?

For some reason, whenever she thought of that woman, and of that beautiful woman who once loved Brother Qin so dearly, she felt a little breathless.

Brother Qin is such a good man, how could he have lost his wife? It doesn't make sense!

It continued until the morning of the next day.

After the couple had breakfast, they packed some coarse flour buns in a cloth bag and took a water bottle with them, intending to eat them when they got hungry at noon.

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Zheng."

"Mother, Xiao Jie, you're here. I was just about to call you." Yun Luo packed the things into a bamboo basket, and Qin Zheng carried it on his back.

"Qin Zheng, you're going up the mountain." Sun Xing's voice came from the doorway. He came alone, without leading the water buffalo. He glanced at the group and looked a little guilty. "I originally agreed to lend you the buffalo, but the child's family took it without telling me. I'm sorry, Qin Zheng."

"Brother Sun, when will you bring your ox back? We need to hurry to clear the land," Zhou Rong asked. Without an ox, clearing land would be much more difficult, as they would have to pull the plow by hand.

Sun Xing shook his head. "I don't know either. Why don't you try borrowing from somewhere else?"

In Qingshui Village, only the Sun family owns an oxcart; where else can they borrow one?

"Thank you, Uncle Sun. We'll use the oxen for plowing," Qin Zheng said calmly, his expression revealing little emotion.

Sun Xing looked hesitant, glanced at the four of them, but ultimately said nothing and left the Qin family.

Yunlu felt somewhat down. Without the oxcart, it was Brother Qin who was suffering. She felt deeply powerless, yet there was nothing she could do.

"Xiao Luo, it's okay, I'm very strong," Qin Zheng said, seemingly seeing through her thoughts.

The family left the house and locked the door. They ran into Aunt Zhang, who was returning from buying tofu. She casually took a small piece and handed it to Yunluo, saying, "Here, you're clearing the land today, have something good to eat."

"Aunt Zhang..."

"Here you go." Aunt Zhang shoved the tofu into her hand. "If each of us eats a little less, we'll have enough. By the way, don't go to the Sun family to get the ox. I just saw the eldest son of the Sun family herding the ox on the edge of the field. Just go over there. I still need to cook, so I'll go in first. Yunluo's mother, come over and visit next time."

"Okay." Zhou Rong smiled, her face a little stiff. "Xiao Luo..."

Yunluo understood.

It seems that Uncle Sun's excuse about not having enough cows was just a pretext; he actually didn't want to lend them. "Brother Qin, what did Uncle Sun say when you went there yesterday?"

"He was willing to lend us the money, but he changed his mind this morning. I reckon he has other plans. Let's not think about it anymore and just go."

"Xiao Zheng, don't overthink it. I reckon something really might have happened to the Sun family." Zhou Rong comforted her, but she also felt sorry for her daughter and son-in-law.

If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Why lie about it?

The family took a plow to the back mountain, put their things down, and Yunluo pulled up a few branches, spread them on the ground, and let the two children sit on them.

"Is Grandpa Sun's family afraid that Dad will bring bad luck to people, which is why they won't lend us the ox?" Xiao Ran asked, looking up.

Yunlu was taken aback. The little guy was quite old, but he remembered a lot of things and knew what the villagers said about Qin Zheng. She rubbed his head and said, "Your father is not a jinx. Your father is the best man in the world."

These words clearly pleased Xiao Ran. He nodded vigorously, his eyes shining like stars. "You are the best person too, just like Dad."

"Thank you."

The little guy blushed as soon as he finished speaking, turned his head away, and refused to look at Yun Luo.

"Stay put with your sister and don't run far. Mother is going to help." Yunluo instructed before leaving.

The process of clearing land was not easy. In addition to picking up stones, someone had to pull the plow in front. However, there could only be two people pushing the plow, and they couldn't stretch their strength very well, so they stumbled and bumped along the way.

It wasn't until lunchtime that they plowed a plot the size of a vegetable garden.

A group of people sat around eating steamed buns while listening intently to Qin Zheng's stories of hunting in the mountains.

Yun Shaojie and Xiao Ran's eyes sparkled, their faces full of admiration.

Upon hearing this, Yunluo and Zhou Rong felt moved by the difficulty of hunting.

Especially when Qin Zheng talked about encountering a bear in the forest, fighting it, and successfully leaving the forest, he radiated a different kind of light.

It seems that he is not just a simple hunter, but a hunter who has fought on the battlefield.

This man isn't that he doesn't like to talk, he just hasn't found the right person to talk to yet, Yun Luo said with a smile, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"Sis, wipe your drool." After spending some time with Qin Zheng, Yun Shaojie felt that his brother-in-law was not as joking as the rumors suggested.

Yun Luo wiped her face, but there was nothing there. Her face immediately turned red. "You brat, you dare to make fun of your sister?"

"Brother-in-law, wasn't my sister staring at you the whole time? She won't admit it." Yun Shaojie quickly dodged away while holding Xiaoyu.

Yun Luo's lips twitched as she looked at Qin Zheng. Seeing him talking to his younger brother with a composed expression, she felt slightly relieved, but also a little... disappointed.
