A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Dazhuang, we're men, being stepped on is like being bitten by an ant. Why are you making a fuss about it? Besides, you and Liu Mei are from the same village. Let it go." Someone stepped in to mediate.

Qin Dazhuang was trembling with anger, unable to utter a word.

"Qin Dazhuang, how can you spout such nonsense and frame someone? If you don't apologize today, I'll take you to the authorities!" Zhu Cuihong thought the other party was really trying to extort money from her, and she shouted loudly.

Of course, Zhu Cuihong was still quite afraid of Qin Dazhuang, after all, he was a notorious village bully in the neighboring village.

As the saying goes, it's better to mess with ten good people than one bad one; that's the point.

"you……"

"Alright, alright, this kind of thing is shameful to talk about. Let's go!" The other men didn't care what Qin Dazhuang was thinking and dragged him out of the Qin family's gate.

After Qin Dazhuang left, Zhu Cuihong glared at Liu Mei fiercely and said irritably, "It's good that nothing happened. Remember, if you dare to do anything despicable, our Zheng family will drown you in a pig cage."

After she finished speaking, she and Zheng Youcai swaggered away.

Yunlu was so angry she wanted to throw excrement at them.

Who is it?

"Xiaomei, how are you? Sit down for a while, I'll put some medicine on you!" Yunluo saw that her face had completely changed color, and her body was as cold as ice.

Liu Mei shook her head, tears welling in her eyes. "Xiao Luo, thank you. I have to go back and do the laundry."

"You're in this state, why would you wash clothes? Xiaomei, Zheng Youcai and your mother-in-law treat you like this, and you..."

"Xiao Luo!" Qin Zheng's deep voice suddenly came. Yun Luo turned her head and saw him shaking his head, with doubt in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Mei also stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and forced a smile, "Xiao Luo, Brother Qin, I'm sorry to have troubled you, I'm leaving."

Yunlu couldn't stop her, and the words of advice she wanted to offer remained unspoken. Her heart felt as if a heavy stone was weighing on it, constantly sinking.

"Xiao Luo, are you trying to persuade her to leave the Zheng family?"

Yunlu was taken aback. She did indeed have such thoughts, being treated as a tool for having children by her in-laws and suffering every day.

Qin Zheng's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Have you ever thought about it? Liu Mei has an older brother and sister-in-law. If she leaves her husband's family and takes her two young daughters, where can she go?"

That's just how the world is.

Yunlu remained silent.

Yes, regardless of whether Liu Mei can return to her parents' home, what does it mean for a woman to be divorced in this era?

Some people would rather die than be divorced; she's oversimplifying things.

Perhaps because of the commotion just now, Yunlu felt a throbbing pain in her temples. "Brother Qin, I'm going inside to sleep for a while."

"Okay!" Qin Zheng replied, watching her retreating figure disappear into the house.

In her dream, she was in a daze. One moment she was a nine-tailed fox, and the next she was an old Taoist priest smiling at her. She woke up with a start, took the clothes she had taken off from the bedside, put them on, and went out.

When I woke up, the sun had already set.

"Brother, slow down, I'm scared!"

A silvery laugh rang out as Xiaoyu sat on a brand-new wheelbarrow in the yard, pushed by Xiaoran. The two children played until they were covered in sweat, while Qin Zheng chopped firewood not far away.

"Brother Qin, where did this wheelbarrow come from?"

Qin Zheng looked up and said, "Among the goods we delivered this time, there were several broken wheelbarrows that the government didn't want. Zhou Hao and I each pushed one back, and I cleaned it up so it looked brand new."

"You're amazing!" Yunlu had wanted to buy one before, it would be so convenient for everything, you could just push it around, and in the future, when harvesting rice, you wouldn't have to carry it on your back.

"Mom, this is so much fun! Come and play with us too!" Xiaoyu swayed her braids, as happy as a nightingale.

Yunlu got playful, rolled up his sleeves, and let Xiaoran sit on them too. He then pushed the two children around in the yard. At first, Xiaoran was very reserved. Even though her face turned red with excitement, she didn't make a sound. But by the third round, she completely let loose.

A cheerful sound came from the courtyard. Qin Zheng carried firewood over and saw this scene. Yun Luo didn't see it. The light in his eyes softened inch by inch. He stood there watching them.

When Zhou Rong entered the room, she saw her daughter playing happily with two other children, while Qin Zheng stared intently at her. A thought flashed through her mind, and she went inside after Qin Zheng noticed her.

"Mom is here."

Yunluo also saw the people, put down the wheelbarrow, picked up the two children, and went over. "Mom, what are you carrying? Let me see."

“The chicks were originally going to sell baskets, but they met a chicken seller from the next village who happened to be short of baskets, so they traded the chicks with me. I caught two for you, so you can keep them to lay eggs when they grow up.”

Xiaoyu and Xiaoran immediately came over when they heard the sound. The chicks were still small and chirped happily. The two children's eyes lit up, and Xiaoyu stared at them longingly.

"Mother, I'll give you some money..."

"What are you saying? It's not your grandma who's in charge now. Your mother can still make her own decisions." Zhou Rong scolded, "Alright, I have to go back now. Xiao Jie is cooking at home."

"Goodbye, Grandma!" the two children said in unison, seeing Zhou Rong off before rushing off to play with the chicks.

Yunlu laughed, "We're a family with two chickens now!"

A smile flashed in Qin Zheng's eyes, "Mother and her family have had a hard time, and they still think of us. I'll take advantage of the break while I'm in town to get a wheelbarrow and send it to her."

"Brother Qin, thank you!" Yun Luo smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents, as if they could speak volumes.

Qin Zheng seemed unable to bear such a gaze, a gaze that seemed to dispel the most primal gloom in people's hearts. He looked away, a slight smile playing on his lips, "I'll go chop wood."

"Then I'll cook."

……

Yun family.

Yunlan squatted at the entrance of the kitchen, holding an egg in her hand. She ate it as she said, "Mother, what's wrong with Brother Lang? He hasn't gone to the woods to recite his lessons these past few days."

"I guess he memorized it at home." Wang didn't care. Ever since the old lady entrusted her with the kitchen work, she had been working non-stop.

She glanced at her beautiful daughter by the door and realized that no matter how busy she was, she couldn't let Lan'er help her. From now on, Lan'er couldn't be like her; she wanted to enjoy a life of leisure.

Yunlan shook her head, thought for a while, and then simply told him all about Li Pinglang's reactions over the past few days, including the day she followed him to the Qin family's door.

Wang's heart skipped a beat. She gathered the firewood, turned around, and said, "Now that you mention it, I've noticed something. You know, that wretched girl Yunluo used to have a terrible temper at home, and your grandmother always had to discipline her. But now that she's married, her temper has improved, and it seems like her looks have improved too. Do you think that might make Pinglang waver?"

Wang, having been through it all, knew all too well the inherent flaws in men.

If Yun Luo grows uglier and uglier and can't live with Qin Zheng anymore, then so be it.

That's not the case at all.

"So what if that's the case? Yunluo is already married!"

"Silly girl, even if you get married, you can still steal! Look how many girls in the village are eyeing the scholar's family. You should be more careful!" Wang was worried. Thinking about it, she lost all interest in cooking. "Lan'er, watch the fire and don't let the water boil dry. I'll go and sound out your second aunt."
