A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Brother Qin? What are you doing here?" Yun Luo asked happily, with Qin Zheng protecting her behind him.

"Fine, Qin Zheng is here. How can your wife act like this? Pushing me off the hillside, is that something a human being would do?" Shen Juan persisted, recounting the whole story.

Is she afraid of having multiple men or what?

"I didn't push, I didn't push!"

"Yunluo, Qin Zheng is here too. I don't want to embarrass you. As long as you admit it and apologize to my mother, this matter will be over!"

Qin Zheng glanced at everyone and said calmly, "I believe Xiao Luo, she didn't push it!"

Li Pinglang was furious. He felt like his wife was cheating on him with another man, which made him extremely uncomfortable. "We saw it with our own eyes..."

"Seeing is not necessarily believing. For example, if you and I are standing here together, you can roll down on your own. If I reach out to grab you, it would look to outsiders as if I pushed you down. Isn't that reasonable?"

Yunlu almost wanted to hug Qin Zheng; he had spoken to her heart. "Yes, that's exactly it. I didn't even know what happened. And if I had really pushed, auntie, would you still be standing here safely?"

"I……"

"We came to pay respects to my father today. I was accompanying Yunlan to the restroom and was waiting for her here. Instead of her, my aunt came. My aunt just happened to fall, and then Yunlan brought Li Xiucai. Li Xiucai, use your bookish brain to think about this. Don't you think something's wrong?"

Li Pinglang was invited up the mountain by his mother today to gather firewood.

But when they need to gather firewood, they have to go to the back mountain; they wouldn't go this way.

And, coincidentally, Mother also made an excuse to go to the restroom, and Yunlan appeared, and then the incident happened...

Could it be...

A chill ran through him, and his cold gaze swept over Yunlan. "Let's leave it at that, Mother. Let's go home!"

"No, she hasn't apologized yet!"

"That's right, Brother Lang, Auntie might have hurt her back, you should..."

"Shut up!" Li Pinglang scolded, "Mother, you know the truth!"

"I..." Shen Juan had never seen her son act like this before. Could it be that he had guessed it? Her son was a scholar and would disdain such things. He must be angry. How could she not leave? She had to go over there.

Yun Luo curled his lips into a smile and blocked her path. "You think you can leave without apologizing?"

Li Pinglang's face darkened. "Yunluo, for the sake of our past relationship, don't hold it against my mother."

relationship?

Yun Luo scoffed, "I have nothing to do with you. If Auntie doesn't apologize today, I'll do exactly what she accused me of. I'd like to know what the consequences will be if I push you off this cliff!"

Li Pinglang remained silent.

Shen Juan was furious. What kind of son did she raise? He didn't even say a word in her defense. "What? I won't apologize. Either you pushed me, or you brought bad luck to me. You're bad for my parents, so it's no wonder my son looks down on you..."

"Mother!" Li Pinglang's face darkened; this matter was a knot in his heart. "Apologize."

"I do not!"

"mother……"

The mother and son bickered back and forth, their faces turning red. Shen Juan was so angry that she hit Li Pinglang.

Seeing the conflict escalating, Yun Luo clicked her tongue twice, tugged at Qin Zheng's clothes, and the two left.

"Brother Qin, thank goodness you came back in time to help me, otherwise I don't know how those three would have bullied me!"

Qin Zheng's usually cold eyes softened slightly. "I'll take care of things from now on!"

Yun Luo was startled, her heart feeling as if it were being grasped softly by a hand. It didn't hurt, but it was uncomfortable. She seemed to be somewhat jealous of that woman.

Brother Qin, what you're saying could easily mislead me, and I don't want to be misunderstood.

The air was quiet for a while. Qin Zheng took out a gray money bag from his pocket and handed it to Yun Luo. Inside were four taels of silver and a silver hairpin, which was exquisitely crafted and elegant.

Give her a hairpin?

Yunlu stared intently.

What exactly does Brother Qin mean?

Could it be...

Qin Zheng met her eyes, his expression somewhat embarrassed, and said lightly, "Zhou Hao went to the shop to buy a hairpin for his wife. Coincidentally, the shopkeeper had just had a baby boy. He bought two hairpins for the price of one, and I brought one back for you!"

The passion that had welled up in Yun Luo's heart was instantly extinguished.

Buy one get one free?

Or are you just using other people's things?

She thought it was Brother Qin who had carefully selected it.

She was definitely overthinking it. It was already kind of Qin to bring her a gift; what more could she possibly want?

Yunluo accepted it, but couldn't quite manage a smile. "Thank you, Brother Qin. I really like it. Mother and the others are waiting. Let's go over there."

She turned around, stepped on a stone, and twisted her ankle without any trouble.

"It hurts..." Yun Luo grimaced. Qin Zheng was also startled and went to check on her. However, Yun Luo seemed to be electrocuted and retreated repeatedly, causing her to fall to the ground.

Qin Zheng's movement to help her froze in mid-air. Yun Luo was also embarrassed, and she subconsciously wanted to move away from him. "It's okay, I can still... ah..."

With a gasp, the world spun around, and Yun Luo landed steadily in the man's arms.

Qin Zheng's face was dark, as if he was angry. He placed her on the rock and said, "Don't move. Let me take a look."

Yunlu was having trouble breathing. She was wrapped around Qin Zheng's neck, her face as red as a peach, her eyes watery. The worst part was that the two of them were very close.

His face was clearly visible.

The strange emotion in her heart intensified, as if it were about to burst forth.

Qin Zheng's Adam's apple bobbed rhythmically. He looked away, concealing all emotion in his eyes. "Xiao Luo, let go first!"

"Oh!" Yun Luo quickly let go, not daring to look at him.

Qin Zheng then pressed down on her foot. After a sharp pain, her foot felt much lighter.

"Alright, go back and apply some medicine, the swelling will go down in a few days. Let me take you home first."

"No!" Yun Luo hurriedly said, "My father just passed away, I have to go, and I'll be there soon."

Qin Zheng glanced at the mountain road, said nothing, bent down, and picked her up in his arms. "I know your problem. If you can't stand it, just sleep in my arms for a while. I'll wake you when we get there."

Yunlu felt as if she had been fed a handful of candy, sweet from the inside out. If Brother Qin didn't already have someone in his heart, perhaps she would have been brave enough to take the plunge.

The two went over, and Zhou Rong saw Qin Zheng. Before she could ask anything, she noticed her daughter's legs were swollen, and her brow furrowed. "Xiao Luo, what happened to you?"

"I accidentally stepped on a stone," Yun Luo said, feeling a little guilty.

Xiaoyu gently tugged at Qin Zheng's clothes and said in a childish voice, "Mommy, does it hurt? Let Daddy blow on it for you!"

Yun Luo smiled, feeling somewhat powerless, "Brother Qin, please put me down first."

Qin Zheng ignored her and objected to Zhou Rong, saying, "Don't be late. You two lead the way, and I'll carry Xiao Luo from behind."

"Okay, but where's Lan'er? I haven't seen her."
