A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"You foolish woman, who are you calling a ghost? I'll beat you to death!" The old lady was furious and went straight for the sole of her shoe, hitting and cursing at the same time.

While dodging, Wang begged for mercy, "Mother, I wasn't talking about you, please don't hit me, please don't hit me!"

The old lady refused to comply and, after hitting her for a while, realized something was wrong.

She stared at Wang's face, lost in thought.

Feeling uneasy under such intense scrutiny, Wang asked, "Mother, what... what's wrong?"

"Did your eldest son buy you something?" the old lady asked, staring at Wang's face, which had noticeably paled.

Wang was very perceptive and immediately grasped the key point. She quickly said, "No, it's something Yunlu gave to my mother. I used it and it worked very well. I tried it on my mother first and will bring it to you right away."

She didn't want to give it up either, but if she didn't do this, would the old woman let her off the hook?

Wang returned to the house with great enthusiasm, offered the items, and taught the old lady how to use them. Seeing the old lady's eagerness to try, Wang felt a tightness in her chest and directly cursed her ancestors for eighteen generations.

"The stuff is pretty good!" The old lady went back to her room to tidy up, planning to give the old man a surprise.

……

Xiuping Town.

Yunluo successfully found the shop where Yunlin was, Quanjutang, a not-so-small general store that specializes in selling all sorts of things for girls, somewhat like a modern boutique.

Yunlin was doing the accounts when he caught sight of Yunluo and hurriedly went outside, startled, "Why are you here?"

“My uncle brought me a sachet; I’m here to collect the money.”

"Your sachet wasn't embroidered well, so I fixed it. Next time you embroider, make sure it's better!"

Yun Luo raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? I'm looking for Manager Wu!"

"The shopkeeper isn't here, so there's no use looking for him. We're going to accompany the shopkeeper's wife back to her parents' home early this morning." Yunlin had a hint of schadenfreude in his voice, because it was thanks to this that he was able to get things done smoothly.

By the time the shopkeeper returned, he had already forgotten about the matter and wouldn't bother with it.

He chuckled secretly, "Hey Luo girl, here's a coin for you. Buy a steamed bun and go home to take care of the kids!"

"You think you can give me a penny? Uncle, if you don't return my remaining three hundred coins today, believe me, I'll sit right in front of your shop and wail here, letting the whole town come and see!"

Kindness is often taken advantage of, but she's not one to suffer losses.

Yunlin's smile deepened. "You think I'm afraid of you? Go ahead and howl!"

He wanted to see what tricks this girl could pull.

Yunlin had just taken a step when someone hugged him. He turned around and saw Yunluo grinning at him. Then, his expression changed instantly, and tears streamed down his face.

"Father, please, give me back my three hundred coins! That money was what my mother and I used to buy rice and vegetables. We're almost starving and we're about to die. You can't just abandon us now that you have a new wife and a new son!"

Yunlin's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open; there was enough room to fit an egg inside!

In an instant, quite a few people gathered around.

"Xiao Luo, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm your uncle!"

“Father, it’s alright if you don’t acknowledge me, but you must acknowledge Mother. When you were poor, Mother never abandoned you, and our family’s life was just starting to get better. How can you abandon her now?” Yun Luo cried bitterly, her snot and tears streaming down her face.

The audience members were deeply moved.

"What a tragedy! They don't even acknowledge their own daughter! They're not even human!"

"That's right, he even stole three hundred coins from someone! He's a beast, not even human!"

Those who were watching the spectacle expressed their sympathy and launched a scathing attack on Yunlin.

Yunlin was so angry he almost vomited blood, and hurriedly explained, "She's not my daughter!"

"Look at those eyebrows, they're exactly the same! What kind of father is this? He doesn't even acknowledge his own daughter. Daughter, listen to me, what's the point of relying on a father like that? Even if you and your mother were begging, it would be better than living with him!"

Yunlin, "..."

He's that brat's uncle, what's so strange about him looking like her? You bunch of idiots!

"Father, you can't be so heartless..."

Seeing that the crowd was growing larger and larger, Yunlin became anxious. This brat was really pushing his limits. He quickly took out three hundred coins from his pocket, stuffed them into her hand, and warned in a low voice, "Get up right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"What do you think would happen if you hit me?" Yun Luo glanced smugly at the onlookers.

Yunlin thought he might as well just smash his head against a wall and die.

If he can't afford to offend him, can he still not afford to hide?

His face was contorted with grief, and he was almost driven mad as he whispered, "Little Miss, I beg you, please leave!"

"Alright, give me another tael of silver, and I'll be leaving!"

Yunlin gritted his teeth, "You're trying to extort me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Yun Luo's expression, which seemed to be on the verge of tears, and immediately took out some silver.

"This tael of silver is compensation for the loss you caused my mother by deceiving her!" Yun Luo carefully put the money away and bowed to everyone. "Uncles and elders, please disperse. Although my father doesn't want me and my mother anymore, he is still my father, and I don't want him to be criticized by so many people!"

"What a lovely young girl!"

Everyone sighed and dispersed, but didn't forget to glare fiercely at Yunlin.

Yunlin almost fainted from a fall.

If he had a daughter like that, he would strangle her to death while she was in pain from urinating the moment she was born!

With Manager Wu not around, Yunluo's plan to show him the rose ointment fell through. She first wandered around the town, bought some daily necessities, and then found a crowded place to put the bamboo basket upside down with the rose ointment on top, and started shouting to sell it.

"Don't miss out! Apply this rose ointment for one day and your skin will be smooth and radiant; apply it for two days and your skin will be as white as an egg; apply it for three days and even a sow could turn into a beauty!"

Her advertising slogans were bright and unique, attracting many onlookers.

"Young lady, you can't lie to people. Is your rose ointment really that effective? No way!" A slightly plump woman carrying a vegetable basket shook her head.

"Yes, I have plenty of cosmetics and face powder, but none of them have such good results. How did this young girl learn to lie? Be careful she doesn't get arrested and go to jail!"

Yun Luo just smiled and looked at the slightly plump woman, saying, "Auntie, you have freckles on your face, and your skin is rough and loose. Is it that no amount of treatment can fix it?"

The plump woman touched her face and nodded. "How did you know?"

Yun Luo chuckled inwardly. If she had a better idea, she wouldn't have acted this way. She wasn't stupid. "How about I let Auntie try it out for free first? If she thinks my stuff is good, then she can buy it?"

Everyone has the desire to gain an advantage. After hesitating for a moment, the plump lady nodded in agreement and sat down on the stone.

Yunluo scooped out some peach blossom ointment and applied it to her face, then used modern massage techniques to gently massage her face in circles.

"Young lady, your technique is quite comfortable!" The plump lady hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time. "This rose ointment feels cool and soothing!"
