A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Zhou Rong had also noticed this that morning. Xiao Zheng wasn't as scary as the rumors made him out to be. He was energetic, quiet, but thoughtful and caring. It was just his marriage to Xiao Luo that...

Zhou Rong thought to herself, if the two were really husband and wife, she wouldn't be so worried.

"Xiao Luo, come with your mother."

"Okay." Yun Luo got up and followed Zhou Rong into the woods. Zhou Rong glanced at the group of people in the distance before whispering, "Xiao Luo, tell your mother honestly, what happened to Xiao Zheng's two children's mother? Is she gone, or did she run away?"

Yunlu glanced at Qin Zheng not far away, "I didn't see a memorial tablet at Brother Qin's house."

Zhou Rong understood. If the person was really gone, how could there be no memorial tablet? Judging from the situation, she really ran away. She recalled some rumors in the village and sighed, "I heard that Xiao Zheng wasn't like this before. He only changed after the two children's mother left. Judging from this, Xiao Zheng is really a good person. Even though that person ran away, he probably still can't forget her."

Yun Luo was speechless for a moment.

What kind of pain could change a person's personality?

Brother Qin must have loved the mother of his two children very much; even though she's gone, he can't forget her.

For some reason, she felt incredibly empty inside, as if someone was tightly squeezing her heart.

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Zheng is our benefactor. We should repay his kindness. But have you thought about what will happen between you and him? What are you going to do in the future?"

Zhou Rong was thinking long-term; if the child's mother came back, it would be awkward for Xiao Luo.

"Mother, all I want right now is for Brother Qin's family to have a good life. I don't want to think about anything else."

"Alright!"

In the end, Yunluo was drawn away by the "cooing" sound coming from the woods.

Zhou Rong watched as her daughter darted out like a monkey, returning with a pheasant in her hand.

She opened her mouth in surprise and said, "Xiao Luo, when did you learn how to catch pheasants?"

And they catch them every time?

Yunlu chuckled, "Brother Qin taught me this. Mom, this is a hen. I reckon its nest is nearby. Let's find it quickly."

"okay."

"Mother, let's look through the grass," Yunluo said, pointing out the information she received from the grass.

Sure enough, Zhou Rong found a nest of wild eggs in the grass. Although the wild eggs were small, they were a good thing. She looked at them with delight and said, "Xiao Luo, look!"

"We can have an extra meal tonight." Yun Luo looked at the pheasant, her mouth watering.

"Coo coo coo...coo coo coo..." The pheasant flapped its wings and spoke in a language that Yun Luo couldn't understand.

Yunlu shrugged. It was destined to be eaten.

The mother and daughter went back. Xiao Jie took Xiao Ran to relieve herself in the woods. Only Qin Zheng and Xiao Yu were left. Xiao Yu saw the bunch of green-shelled eggs and was overjoyed. She held one in her little hand and pressed it to her face, saying, "It's warm, it's warm."

"Silly girl." Yun Luo smiled. It wasn't hot; the hen had just laid an egg, and she had already eaten it all. "I'll stew some tender, smooth eggs for you tonight."

"Great!" The little girl clapped her hands happily.

After arranging the eggs, Yunlu looked up and met Qin Zheng's gaze. His eyes held a hint of admiration, making Yunlu feel embarrassed. "It's a bit cooler now, let's plow the field first."

The three of them got busy, digging up clods of soil and turning over dark soil. This kind of soil is rich in fertilizer and easy to grow.

"Xiao Luo, what are you planning to plant in the field?"

"Just plant potatoes and sweet potatoes, they're easy to store," Yunluo said. Most importantly, she could make soft and smooth vermicelli, and she couldn't wait to show off her skills. She glanced around, "Why have Xiaojie and Xiaoran been gone for so long?"

They had been plowing the field for quite a while.

Thinking of this, Zhou Rong also realized, "Could we be lost? I'll go check..."

"I'll go. Brother Qin and Mother should rest for a while too."

"Just call me if you need anything," Qin Zheng instructed.

Yunluo agreed and headed into the woods. After wandering around for a while, she didn't see anyone, but the leaves of the bushes were a bit wet.

"Have you seen two boys, one big and one small?"

"Chirp, chirp, look! It's gone to steal bird eggs, chirp..." the low bush said, pointing in a direction with a branch.

These two children...

Yunlu walked for about half a kilometer, then turned in another direction, towards the Yun family's cornfield, where the corn was still hanging.

"Uncle, are you in pain? Can you walk?"

Xiao Ran's voice.

Yunlu pushed aside the bushes and stepped over. The two people sitting behind the bushes were Xiaojie and Xiaoran. There were some crushed bird eggs beside them. Xiaojie's feet were stiff, and his trouser legs were soaked with blood.

Yunluo's face paled. "What happened to your foot?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally fell." A smile appeared on Yun Shaojie's pale face.

Xiao Ran shook her head, "No, it was Third Uncle. My uncle was getting bird eggs when Third Uncle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and shouted something, which startled my uncle, and he fell down."

Third Uncle?

Yunnan and Guizhou?

I go!

Everyone knows that Yun Gui is arrogant and has always looked down on the work of the villagers in the fields. When has he ever been to the fields in his life?

Her sudden appearance filled her with suspicion.

She gently lifted Xiao Jie's leg and placed it on her own foot, taking off her shoes. The wound on his foot was quite large, and it was already swollen. "After you fell, what happened? He left?"

"My third uncle said he's coming to find you."

"What the hell are you looking for!" Yun Luo wanted to say a few more curses, but hesitated because there were children around. "I've been looking all the way here and haven't seen him. It's not far from here to our reclaimed land. He could have crawled there even if he wanted to."

"Chirp chirp, Yun Gui was hiding in the cornfield all along. He only came out on purpose after seeing your little brother climb the tree. Ouch, that scared me to death..."

The small shrub beside him shook its head.

Yun Luo guessed it all; he had no good intentions whatsoever, he was black-hearted and ruthless. "You and Xiao Ran wait here for a while, I'll go collect herbs to reduce swelling and stop bleeding."

"Sis, you don't know how to identify medicine, don't get lost!"

“I know, you’ve forgotten that last time you had a fever, it was me who picked the herbs,” Yunluo said and walked straight across the bushes.

She can communicate with plants and find herbs effortlessly.

Behind her, Yun Shaojie looked on with suspicion. When did my sister become so good at finding herbs? She used to know nothing about them!

Yunlu asked for directions, searched around, found the herbs she was looking for, plucked a few and stuffed them into her bosom. She was about to get up when she heard footsteps approaching.

"Pah, what a terrible place! I've wandered around for ages and can't even find a single ripe corn cob. What bad luck!"

The voices of Yunnan and Guizhou.

Not content with defeating his underling, he's now eyeing someone else's corn cobs?

Yun Luo sneered inwardly. She carefully concealed herself, shoveled some dirt on the ground and wiped it on her face and body, and tucked a bunch of messy leaves and branches into her hair.

As the footsteps of Yun Gui drew closer, Yun Luo darted out. Yun Gui was startled, only to see a dark shadow flash by, and his legs went weak.

"Who, come out!"

Yunlu hid behind the bushes without making a sound. A breeze blew, rustling the leaves, making the forest seem even more desolate and cold. Yunlu, who was already uneasy, became even more afraid.

"Stop playing tricks! I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you. Come out here!"
