A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yunluo carried a basket of eggs back home. Zhou Rong and Yun Shaojie came to discuss the grave-visiting ceremony with her the day after tomorrow, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Xiao Luo, it's not customary to bring eggs to the graves in the village, people will laugh at you. How did you bring back so many?"

"Mom, you've misunderstood. I have another use for the eggs. I've prepared the things for Dad's grave; they're in the house. By the way, how are things going with Grandpa and Grandma? Shall we go with them?"

Although Yunluo didn't like them, she didn't hold it against them for her father's sake.

Dad probably really wants the whole family to be together.

Zhou Rong sighed, a look of sorrow in her eyes.

“Sister, you don’t know yet. We just went to ask, and Grandpa and Grandma haven’t made any preparations at all. They said that since we’ve separated the family, Dad’s affairs are our responsibility and have nothing to do with them. They’re not even planning to prepare any offerings for the memorial service. That’s why Mom and I came to discuss this with you and see what we should do the day after tomorrow.”

I go!

They act as if the person lying on the mountain isn't their son; they're really something else.

"Your grandfather is alright. He gave his grandmother a hundred coins, saying that his old ailment has flared up these past few days and he can't even get out of bed."

"If they don't want to come, fine. I bought some vegetables in town beforehand. We'll cook the same things as everyone else, and with the other things we prepared, it should be enough. Our family will go by ourselves!" Yun Luo hadn't really expected much from them anyway.

Zhou Rong nodded, "If your father knew that our Xiao Luo has grown up now, he would be so proud."

Her voice was filled with deep longing, and Yunluo felt a tightness in her chest. "Mother, don't be sad. Father must know everything. Only when we are doing well can Father leave in peace."

"Is Grandma missing Grandpa?" Xiaoyu asked, her eyes wide with tears. "Daddy said that if you miss someone, you should look up at the stars."

Zhou Rong pinched her little cheek and hugged her.

On the contrary, Yunluo sensed something and thought about someone. Was Brother Qin missing that woman?

"Second aunt!"

Yunlan's voice came over; the bumps on her face had faded considerably, leaving only faint scars.

She glanced at Yunluo and smiled, "Grandma is taking care of Grandpa, and Mother is busy cooking. Third Aunt is pregnant, and Third Uncle can't leave either. I'm all alone at home. Grandpa and Grandma told me to go with you to pay respects to Second Uncle the day after tomorrow."

Actually, it was Yunlan who fought for it herself, saying that it wouldn't look good if no one from her family went. Yunlai, who cared about his reputation, agreed.

Yun Luo scoffed. How could she be so kind?

As for Zhou Rong, at this time, regardless of whether she meant it or not, since she had spoken up, she had to go, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the deceased, which is a big taboo in the village.

The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, Yunluo and Zhou Rong got up early to prepare several side dishes for the sacrifice, all of which were raw vegetables. They also packed white candles, paper money, paper clothes, and a whole bunch of other things. They called the others and went up the mountain together.

The village graves were quite far away, requiring a half-hour walk up the mountain. Yunlan was already panting before she had even covered a third of the distance.

"Lan'er, are you alright? Let Xiao Luo help you."

"I can manage, but I need to use the restroom. Xiao Luo, will you come with me?" Yun Lan smiled like a sunflower.

Lazy donkeys poop and pee a lot when they're grinding grain!

Yunlu muttered to herself, then followed her down a side path and found a haystack. "Hurry up, don't be late!"

"I'm afraid I'll stink up your breath, so I'll go somewhere else. Wait for me, okay?" Yunlan said, then hurriedly left. As she left, a ruthless glint was particularly noticeable in her eyes.

Yunlu waited listlessly, chatting with the grass beside him and asking where he could find lime.

"Chirp chirp, someone's coming!" Little Grass shook its head. Yun Luo turned his head, thinking it was Yun Lan. Before he could see clearly, he heard a "Ouch!" and the person behind him rolled down like a car wheel.

"Oh dear, Yunluo, how could you push Aunt Li down like that? You're trying to murder her!"

Yunlan appeared at just the right moment with Li Pinglang, just in time to see Yunluo reach out to grab Shen Juan. However, her action could easily be misunderstood as Yunluo pushing Shen Juan down.

Li Pinglang rushed over and caught the pale-faced Shen Juan. He glared at Yun Luo and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you alright?"

"I...I'm in pain all over..."

Yunlu didn't know what had happened before, so how come he doesn't know now?

Yunlan, that little bitch, dug a pit for her to fall into. I just don't know who among these three is acting, who is being kept in the dark, and why they are doing this.

"Yunluo, my family has broken off the engagement. I will take responsibility for my own actions. If you have any anger, take it out on me. How could you push my mother?"

Yun Luo was almost laughing in anger, "Scholar, are you blind?"

"My son, you must seek justice for me! That little hussy Yunluo is trying to kill me!" Shen Juan cried out at the right moment. With witnesses and her own words, Li Xiucai believed her.

He gritted his teeth, all the slight goodwill he had felt for Yun Luoran vanished completely, "If you hate me, you can take it out on me, don't take it out on my mother!"

He shouted those words out, which instantly ignited Yun Luo's short temper.

"Li Pinglang, what nonsense are you spouting? What right do your family members have to make me refuse? Oh, you resent me for breaking off the engagement? Heaven knows how happy I am that I don't have to marry you. Who do you think you are? You're not even as good as Brother Qin! How dare you!"

"Xiao Luo, shut up. Didn't you see..."

"Shut up!" Yun Luo glared at her, thinking, "She's the most shameless one of all. You call yourself a scholar? Is your brain just for decoration? What right do I have to push your mother?"

"You... that day by the stream, we had a fight, and I cursed at you a few times, and you hold a grudge against me!"

"Yun Luo!" Li Pinglang stood up abruptly, staring intently at her. "Do you admit it or not!"

Huh~

Are they taking advantage of her because she's not tall enough?

Yun Luo stepped onto the stone, towering a full head above Li Pinglang. "I didn't do it, so what's there to admit?"

"Xiao Luo, Lang-gege and I saw you push your aunt down the stairs with our own eyes, why are you denying it? You weren't like this before, how come you've become more and more outrageous since marrying Qin Zheng?"

Li Pinglang disliked Qin Zheng from the start; he was a brute with nothing but strength.

He gave a cold laugh. "Birds of a feather flock together. What could such a despicable person possibly teach you?"

Yunlu's expression changed immediately, saying that she could accept it, but Brother Qin was definitely not acceptable!

She grabbed Li Pinglang's arm, and with a swift, over-the-shoulder throw, slammed him to the ground. "See? This is what Brother Qin taught me. Go ahead and fight back! Fight back with your high and mighty principles!"

"Cough cough..."

"Yunluo, let go, let go of me..."

"You jinx! How dare you hit my son! I'll never forgive you!"

The two women pounced on Yun Luo like madmen. Just as Yun Luo was about to be grabbed by the two, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by. The two women paused, their eyes filled with surprise. When they came to their senses, they were hit by a strong force and were forced to retreat straight backward.
