A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yun Luo blinked, looked at Zhao Chunzhi who was full of expectation, and smiled, "Third Aunt and Third Uncle earn so much money outside, why would they care about this little bit?"

Zhao Chunzhi was a little embarrassed. "Even mountains of gold and silver will run out one day. Isn't it better to make plans early? You should talk to your third aunt about it."

"It's easy to sell, but also hard to sell, and the embroidery has to be good; otherwise, people won't buy it."

This……

Zhao Chunzhi was somewhat discouraged.

She was nowhere near as good at embroidery as Zhou Rong, and she had never sold her work on the street before, so she really had no confidence in herself.

If it can't be sold, it's not something you can eat or drink, so it's not worth it.

"Xiao Luo, do you have any other ways to make money?"

“Going up the mountain to gather herbs or go hunting is fine, right? But since Uncle earns so much money, Aunt doesn’t plan to buy some land or shops?” Yun Luo joked.

She knew perfectly well whether the two of them had made any money or not.

Otherwise, my third aunt wouldn't have come.

Zhao Chunzhi looked at Yunluo's methods and thought they were all unreliable. Not only would they not make a lot of money, but they would also make people work themselves to death. No human being could do that.

Seeing that she couldn't get an answer, she didn't linger and left.

Zhou Rong scooped up a ladle of water to wash the pot, somewhat puzzled, "Why did your third aunt suddenly decide to do this?"

"I guess they were afraid my grandparents would ask them for money, and they wouldn't be able to come up with it to appease them."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Rong was a little confused.

Yunlu smiled, put the rinsed brown rice into the pot, and explained, "Mother, actually, Third Aunt and Third Uncle didn't earn any money. I reckon that the two of them couldn't make a living outside and came back to sponge off their parents."

what?

Zhou Rong's eyes widened in surprise. "This is no joke!"

"So, there's going to be a lot of trouble over there."

……

The main courtyard of the Yun family.

Zhao Chunzhi had just returned from the backyard when the old lady called her into the main room. Besides Yunlin, who was working in town, and Yungui, whose whereabouts were unknown, everyone else was in the house.

Everyone in the room was staring at her, and Zhao Chunzhi felt a bit pressured. "Father, Mother, Sister-in-law."

"I called you here to ask you to look for Gui'er. Your father and I have discussed it. Now that you and Gui'er have made a lot of money, it's not good to just keep the money in the bank. Buy a few acres of land, get a water buffalo, renovate the house, and your father and I will save the rest for you."

Zhao Chunzhi's eyes widened in disbelief. She wanted to tear Yun Luo apart with her jinxed mouth. "Mother, perhaps we should postpone this matter?"

"What's the rush? For us farmers, the most important thing is to acquire more land so that it can be passed down from generation to generation. That will bring us honor. Your mother is right. Go find Gui'er and arrange to have a drink with the village head tonight. That will settle the matter."

Yunlai has always been very private about family matters. Once he gets involved, it means there's no turning back.

Zhao Chunzhi's heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

She nodded vigorously, like a rattle-drum, and went to find someone.

Grandma Yun watched her retreating figure with some displeasure. She was dawdling, clearly unwilling to take out the money. "Eldest daughter-in-law, you go and prepare dinner tonight. Make it delicious, and make a few rare dishes for the village head and your father to enjoy with their drinks!"

Buying land is a major event and cannot be taken lightly.

Before Wang could agree, Yun Lai paused for a moment. Wang's cooking skills were not as good as the child's mother's. "Forget it, let Zhou Rong and her daughter come over. I heard that Xiao Luo is in her mother's courtyard right now. Go and call her yourself."

"Okay." The old lady got up and left.

When she arrived, a small table had already been set up in the backyard. There was a plate of scrambled eggs with dried chili threads, a plate of stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and red oil tofu, along with wild vegetable soup, a few cornbread buns, and several bowls of brown rice. It was a very ordinary home-cooked meal, but it had an enticing aroma.

Grandma Yun thought of the dishes Wang had made that morning, and they tasted so bland that she couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Mom's here, sit down and have some food with us!"

Grandma Yun looked at the group of people on the dining table who were staring at her expectantly, afraid that she would agree to the meal. They thought she was so interested in these dishes.

The old lady's face darkened, and she said with some displeasure, "No need. After you and Xiao Luo finish eating, go over and help prepare a meal. We've bought some land and invited the village headman over!"

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance.

Yunluo was right.

"Mother, have my third brother and sister-in-law agreed as well?"

"What? You need their consent to buy a house and land? Unlike you, who lives separately and gets to eat before dark?"

The old lady's words were full of sarcasm, which made Yunlu very uncomfortable. "Grandma, you want Mom and me to go over and cook, but the price has gone up. It's two hundred coins per person!"

"you……"

"Grandma, don't be angry. If you don't want to, you can do it yourself, or my aunt or my third aunt can do it. Why do you have to come here to cause trouble?" Yun Luo said with a smile.

Let her speak with barbs, mocking her mother.

From now on, every time she makes a sarcastic remark, her salary will increase by fifty coins.

The old woman's face turned black then green, then green again, and finally she threw down four hundred coins and stormed off.

Zhou Rong looked at the main courtyard of the Yun family with great concern, "Xiao Luo, what do you think we should do?"

"Just pretend you don't know anything. If we go and talk to them now, Grandpa and Grandma will definitely beat us up. We just need to collect the money and cook, and we don't need to worry about anything else." Yun Luo didn't think that much about it.

Making money and enjoying the excitement—it's worth it!

"Mother, just listen to your sister, she's right," Yun Shaojie chimed in.

In fact, Zhou Rong had no other choice but to do it this way.

After dinner, the mother and daughter tidied up quickly and went over. Just then, they ran into Zhao Chunzhi, who had returned home. She was feeling down because she couldn't find anyone, and now that she saw the old lady had invited both of them to cook, she felt even more uneasy.

Damn Yunnan and Guizhou, where were you at this crucial moment? Something terrible is about to happen.

Yunlu poured out some water and saw her sitting in the courtyard looking dejected. She smiled and said, "Third Aunt, congratulations! Everything went smoothly tonight. You are a great contributor to the Yun family."

Ha ha!

Zhao Chunzhi couldn't laugh; she was about to be finished, what kind of hero was she?

She glanced at the person swaying in front of her, then suddenly grabbed him as if he were a lifeline. "Xiao Luo, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What's the matter?"

"You and your mother don't need to cook. Just say you're not feeling well, and your aunt will talk to them and ask if we can postpone it for a few days, okay?"

She really had no other choice but to do this.

Yun Luo looked at her with amusement. Even now, she was still hiding it. Didn't she know the saying "the sooner the better"? "Third Aunt, you don't mean you're out of money, do you?"

Zhao Chunzhi stared at her intently, then, realizing she had never said anything like that outside, felt a little relieved. "What nonsense are you spouting? The money your third uncle earns is something you could never dream of in your entire life. A country bumpkin is a country bumpkin!"

Got it!

They don't appreciate it!

Yunlu carried the basin into the kitchen.

As the sun began to set, Old Lady Yun had already checked the stove several times, only feeling relieved when she saw vegetables being continuously carried out. Then, she spotted Zhao Chunzhi standing at the door, and her anger flared instantly. She grabbed Zhao Chunzhi's ear and yelled, "What kind of woman are you? Don't you even know where your own husband is?"
