A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Life without water is really tough. Washing vegetables, washing dishes, wiping tables, washing clothes, taking a bath... everything requires water."

“That’s right.” Shi Xiaoyu leaned closer and whispered, as if she had remembered something mysterious. “Especially for us girls, we can’t live without water. You know, we need to wash up before bed and after bed, right?”

Zhou Dazhu remained silent.

She knew about this too.

But where would we get so much water at home?

I usually just tidy it up a bit.

She even took a bath during the Chinese New Year, and she had almost forgotten what it felt like after taking a bath.

Especially now, with my cousin and Xiaoyu by my side, the two of them smell wonderful, just like the girls in town.

For no apparent reason, I felt a sense of alienation.

A wave of inferiority washed over her; she clenched her hands and remained silent.

Yunlu gently nudged Shi Xiaoyu. This child, though she meant well, shouldn't have said that to outsiders from the very beginning.

It's easy to be misunderstood.

Shi Xiaoyu realized what was happening and gave an awkward smile.

“That Dazhu, I… I didn’t mean that. What I meant was that it’s not easy to stay in your village. From now on, when you come here, we can meet more often and talk about things that are private for girls.”

"Cousin, Xiaoyu is just like that. She's actually a very nice person."

“I know,” Zhou Dazhu said.

In the evening, because the small hut at the workshop had not been completely cleaned up yet, they stayed at Yunluo's house for the rest of the day.

That evening, Zhou Dazhu finally took a hot shower, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.

After she finished washing, she stared blankly at the clothes she had placed on the chair.

What?

She only had this one set of clothes, and she used to change her mother's clothes, but now her mother wasn't near her.

Just as she was hesitating about whether to put on her dirty clothes, there was a knock on the door.

"Cousin, it's me, Xiao Luo. I've brought you some clean clothes. They're at the door; come and get them yourself."

"Okay," Zhou Dazhu replied timidly.

Once the person at the door was gone, Zhou Dazhu went over, stood at the door, and reached out a hand to take the clothes inside.

Although it was only partially new, it had no patches and a unique fragrance.

Zhou Dazhu looked at it again and again, carefully putting it on. After putting it on, she felt uneasy. The clothes were so nice; what if she got them dirty or wrinkled...?

"cousin……"

"Hey."

"I'm coming in." Yun Luo pushed open the door and came in, carrying some things in her arms.

She placed it on the table, glanced at it, and smiled, "The clothes are a bit too big. I'll ask your aunt to alter them for you later."

After all, Yunluo was much more developed than her, with her breasts firm and prominent, a stark contrast to Zhou Dazhu, who was malnourished and underdeveloped.

Zhou Dazhu glanced at Yun Luo's chest, then looked down at her own, which was as small as a bean sprout, and her face instantly turned red.

Yunluo was amused by her. "Cousin, I've worn all these clothes. If you don't mind, you can take them and wear them. We can tear off the fabric and make new ones later."

"I don't mind at all." Zhou Dazhu quickly shook her head. This was the first time in her life she had worn such nice clothes.

"There are also two pairs of shoes and two hairpins. Oh, and this is lotion for applying after a bath. I made it myself. After applying it, my body smells nice and my skin feels smooth. It's so good for us women."

Zhou Dazhu accepted them one by one and thanked them in turn.

Yunlu didn't bother her any longer and went back to her own room.

Over there, Madam Zhou had just finished talking to her husband when she turned around and saw her daughter, and she was stunned for a moment.

"Oh my, Dazhu, I almost didn't recognize you dressed like that! And what are you putting on? It smells so good."

Zhou Dazhu smiled gently, "They were all given to me by my cousin, Mother. Just like you said, my cousin is kind-hearted, a good person, and beautiful too."

Like a fairy.

Madam Zhou laughed too, "Right? Then you'd better spend more time with Xiao Luo from now on. Oh, by the way, this is a red envelope from your aunt, take it..."

"Mother, please keep this..."

"Keep it for yourself. Things are different now than in the village. In the village, everyone is struggling, and no girls go shopping. You and Xiao Luo will need it when you go shopping in the future."

"They've been so good to us, so we should be good to them too, understand?"

"got it!"

"Come on, let's sleep together tonight and have a good talk."

The mother and daughter went into the house together.

……

Yun family.

When Zhao Chunzhi saw the group of people from the second branch of the family return happily, she slipped over and peered over the wall to inquire for a while. After listening, she was shocked.

This is big news.

She had to say it quickly.

"Father, mother..."

At that moment, Grandma Yun was sewing clothes for her husband inside the house. When she was called out like that, her hand trembled, and the thread that was about to go in went crooked.

The old woman's long face immediately fell. "Trying to call back your soul? Shut up!"

Zhao Chunzhi stuck out her tongue and chuckled twice, "Mother, Second Sister-in-law's family is here!"

"So what if it comes?" Grandma Yun didn't even look up and continued threading the needle, but this time she couldn't get it through no matter what she tried.

"No, I heard that they all came to seek refuge with Yunluo, the kind who come and never leave. That workshop, and those few small houses built behind that garden, are for them to live in."

"What?!" Old Mrs. Yun slammed the needle on the table. "Did you hear me right?"

"No, we brought everything, and we said we'd pack it up tomorrow so they could move it in."

"Move my ass."

Grandma Yun coughed up a mouthful of phlegm.

Which village is about to move in?

If they're going to live there, they'll live there on their own.

Grandma Yun put her hands on her hips and said, "Did that brat say anything?"

"I didn't hear it, but Xiao Luo must be willing, otherwise why would they come? I also heard that Xiao Luo's uncle went to work as soon as he arrived, and many people in the village saw it."

“Mom, you say there’s such a good thing, why can’t we get it? In terms of kinship, I’m still Xiao Luo’s third aunt. Our third house has a few small and dark rooms. It floods when it rains and blows in when it’s windy. The two children are about to grow up.”

Grandma Yun rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't want to stay, get out!"

They chatter on and on, it's so annoying.

Zhao Chunzhi pouted, "That old hag is really annoying."

"Mother, what should we do? You need to make a decision quickly."

What can be done?

After thinking for a while, Old Madam Yun said, "That brat's surname is Yun. If anyone is going to stay in her workshop, it should be a member of the Yun family. So, you call the eldest son and they'll move there tonight!"

"Mother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Zhao Chunzhi wanted to gain some advantage.

However, she was still a little hesitant to rush forward and offend Yun Luo.

"What's wrong with her? Without the Yun family, would she have grown up like this? Would she have been able to build a workshop? Go on!"

Zhao Chunzhi shook her head like a rattle-drum, "Mother, I'm not going. You should handle it yourself. I need to go back and comfort the children."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Grandma Yun rolled her eyes in anger, "Useless thing!"
