A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yunlu trembled with joy. Of course, when cells are fully hydrated, wrinkles are less noticeable. "This is rose ointment, for applying to the face. In the spring, we can also make peach blossom ointment and pear blossom ointment. Once we make them, we can sell them."

"Little Luo is so clever, but this thing is so good, how can you bear to use it? You should keep it to sell!"

"It's homemade, Mother, don't be sad about it. Just take it and use it. I'll make other things too," Yunluo advised. Only then did Zhou Rong accept it. She touched her face and said, "Mother, I remember looking in the mirror when I was a bride. I really want to see what I look like."

"That's easy!" Yunluo filled a basin with water, and the mother and daughter huddled together, laughing.

In the main courtyard.

Grandma Yun was still upset because she had been cheated out of two hundred coins. "Old man," she said, "how did Luo girl become so clever?"

"If you're not quick-witted, Lin'er will lose her job. Forget about it, two hundred coins is a fair price to pay!"

The old lady was unhappy. Mosquito blood is blood, and she would rather throw it in the latrine or give it to a beggar than give it to that mother and daughter. She got angry just looking at them.

She hummed twice, "I feel something's not right. Xiao Luo wasn't like this before. Do you think it was because she was locked in that dark room that time, and she got possessed by a ghost?"

Yunlai glared at her, somewhat displeased, "That's enough, it's broad daylight, talking about that stuff. The second branch's money has been with you all these years, so don't make such a fuss!"

No way!

Seeing that the old man was reluctant to talk about it, the old lady didn't bring it up.

She hadn't forgotten about this matter; she was determined to make the two of them return the money exactly as it was!

No, she had to go find Lin'er.

On the main house side, Wang went to the outhouse and passed by the second house's courtyard. She heard the mother and daughter whispering about some good face-washing product.

She wondered to herself what good things those two could possibly have. But when Zhou Rong came out, she was completely different from usual. She had become more beautiful, and her face was much brighter.

She thought about her own wrinkled, drab face and was instantly moved.

What woman doesn't love to be beautiful?

When Wang returned to the house, she immediately told Yunlin about the matter. Yunlin was quite surprised to hear this. Yunlu could do this?

"Honey, what do you think?"

"What do you mean, what can I do? The things are with the second wife's family. Do you expect me to steal them back for you like my third brother? Do you think I'm the kind of person who does that kind of thing? Besides, I've seen your face for half my life. Last time you cleaned Lan'er's things, you didn't even manage to clean a fart. What more do you want to do?"

After Yunlin finished speaking, he lay down again to ponder his own affairs.

Wang was somewhat discouraged, but there was nothing she could do, so the matter was temporarily put on hold.

"Boss, are you inside? Come out for a second!"

Yunlin jumped up and went out. When her mother-in-law arrived, Wang Shi didn't dare stay in the room and followed her out as well.

As soon as I went outside, I caught a glimpse of the old lady's displeased look. What could I possibly say? I remained silent and went to the kitchen.

“Your wife is so lazy. By the way, didn’t your master send that girl to deliver the sachets next to you? Why are you doing this…” The old lady whispered something in Yunlin’s ear.

Yunlin was taken aback, and a little worried, "Mother, that girl Yunluo is cunning now, will it work out?"

"Yes, you can. Just get up early tomorrow, as soon as the rooster crows, and get ahead of her."

"Row!"

The next morning, Yunlin got up before dawn, dressed and went out, waking up Zhou Rong who was still asleep.

"Brother, so early? Did something happen?"

"I've come to get the sachet. Hurry up and get it out; we're in a hurry!"

Zhou Rong glanced at the sky; it was still dark, and Xiao Luo hadn't arrived yet. She felt a bit wary. "Big brother, let's wait for Xiao Luo to come."

"Here she comes! I don't know what got into that girl, she just woke me up by saying she had something to take to town to sell. Now she's gone back to get something and told me to come here to get a sachet to meet her!"

Do you still have things to sell?

Zhou Rong immediately remembered the rose ointment she used yesterday. Yes, that's right. It seems Xiao Luo really has arrived.

"Brother, wait for me a moment. The sachets are all in the inner room. I'll come out when I'm done." Zhou Rong, unsuspecting, went inside to tidy up.

Yunlin stood outside for a while before entering the main room. By the moonlight, he saw a bamboo section on the table, which still smelled of fragrance and contained a paste-like substance.

Could it be that thing the child's mother was talking about?

"Big brother..."

Yunlin was taken aback, then quickly hid the things behind his back, took the large bundle from Zhou Rong's hand, and smiled, "Alright, sister-in-law, you rest, I'll go find Xiao Luo!"

"Brother, Xiao Luo is young and doesn't know any better. Please take care of her!"

"Do not worry!"

Yunlin took the sachet, went back into the house, handed it to Wang Shi, and then hurriedly rushed out the door.

Having received the gift, Wang had no desire to sleep. She started applying makeup before dawn and spent a full hour tidying herself up before getting up in a very good mood to wash up, sweep the floor, and feed the pigs and chickens.

Yun Luo also arrived, and after knocking on the door for a long time, Zhou Rong finally opened it.

"Mother, I overslept, quickly give me the sachet!" Yunlu said while tidying her hair. She had made five jars of rose ointment last night and used up all the leftover rose petals from making the sachet before going to sleep, so she had trouble getting up this morning.

Zhou Rong was stunned. "Didn't you and your uncle go a long time ago? You're back so soon? Did the goods sell well?"

What?

Yunlu had a headache. "Mother, I just got up. Did Uncle leave without waiting for me?"

“That’s not right. Your uncle came an hour ago to pick up the sachets. At first, I didn’t believe it. Your uncle said that you were going to sell something else, and I thought it was…” At this point, Zhou Rong suddenly realized what was going on.

cheated!

She slapped her thigh, her eyes reddening. "Xiao Luo, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, I reckon it's because I was seen coming yesterday, and someone overheard our conversation, that's how they managed to trick you!" Yun Luo analyzed.

That son of a bitch, what a waste that meal she gave him kept his job!

"I'm going to town right now!"

"Mother will go with you!"

"Mother, just wait for news at home. Remember, from now on, don't believe anything the Yun family says except for our own family." After giving her these instructions, she grabbed her bundle and ran off.

While running, he sorted out his thoughts.

My uncle wasn't that bright, and even if he were, he wouldn't bother to think about it. He figured it must be some kind of trick by that old hag to swindle the two hundred coins she had taken from him.

Damn it, watch how she gets her money back.

On the Yun family's side, Wang was in a very good mood. After finishing her work and washing her hands, she didn't forget to look at herself in the water.

That brat Yunluo's stuff is actually pretty useful. I'll give her a surprise when her husband comes back.

She was having a good time when an old, ugly, wrinkled figure appeared in the water, staring at her menacingly. She was startled. "Oh my god, it's a ghost!"
