A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Before Zhou Rong could take a step, Zhao Chunzhi's mother, Su Xiangli, spoke up, "What in-laws? When your family married my daughter, we provided a dowry and gave money to ensure she was well married into your family. Now look what you've done, divorcing her just like that. If you can't earn money, it's because your son is useless and incompetent. Only an unreasonable woman would be so short-sighted!"

Every word she uttered was sarcastic towards Old Madam Yun, which made her so angry that she immediately retorted, "Your daughter has been married for five years and hasn't even laid a single egg. How dare you say that?"

"Bullshit! I've given birth to seven sons for the Zhao family in one go. My daughter is my own child, so why can't I have more? Why don't you say it's your sons who are no good? Sons, step forward and let everyone see."

Su Xiangli gave a domineering shout, and Zhao Chunzhi's tall and strong brothers lined up in a row, staring at the old lady with wide eyes.

Compared to the Yun family, which is from Yunnan and Guizhou and the Yun family from Lin, the Yun family completely overwhelms the Yun family in terms of sheer presence.

Yunluo found it somewhat amusing. Her third aunt was quite something; having many children was considered glorious. But what about pigs, which could have a litter of piglets in one litter? Wouldn't that be even more glorious?

No wonder, there weren't many entertainment options in ancient times. Once it got dark, entertainment was limited to the same things. Besides having children, what else could they do?

Yun Lai was humiliated. To say his son was infertile was like slapping him in the face. His face flushed red. "Mother-in-law, watch your words. The Yun family didn't look down on your daughter for not being able to have children, but she faked a pregnancy and deceived us..."

"If you hadn't pushed her so hard, would she have done this? Yun Gui, come here!"

Yun Gui didn't move; instead, he took a step back—he was cowardly.

Before he could even stand up straight, he felt himself sway and was pulled away by Zhao Chunzhi's brothers. The old lady was anxious and tried to stop them, but Yunlai held her back.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, let's talk this out, please don't fight..."

"What's there to say? Didn't you divorce Chunzhi? What, you want to marry someone else?" Zhao Chunzhi's older brother was a rough man, his fists clenched like goose eggs.

Yun Gui was terrified. "Big brother... Chunzhi, Chunzhi, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. I was confused for a moment. I didn't mean to. Please save me!"

"Gui'er..."

"You're not allowed to go." Yunlai felt extremely embarrassed. If he got involved again, what would the villagers say?

The old lady didn't care about anything else; she wouldn't allow anyone to bully her son.

She swung her fist and hit Su Xiangli in the face.

The crowd looked at each other in disbelief, and before they could react, the two were already locked in a fierce fight.

You grab my hair, I tear at your clothes, we're inseparable on the ground.

Lose your face!

Yunlai was mortified. "Father-in-law, we are responsible for this. I will teach Yungui a lesson and make him treat Chunzhi well from now on. You see..."

Zhao Chunzhi's father was not a troublemaker to begin with. If Xiangli hadn't insisted on coming, he wouldn't have come. "Cheng, Chunzhi, Yungui, go and get your mother!"

The two men, one on each side, pulled the two apart. Their hair was disheveled, their clothes were torn, and they looked exactly like two shrewish women.

Both of them were formidable fighters, each one fierce and capable of overwhelming the other.

"mother……"

"Don't speak, or the Yun family will bully you again," Su Xiangli said angrily.

Why didn't my daughter inherit my genes?

A married daughter needs to be a bit tough to keep her husband in check. Back then, how many fights did she have with Chunzhi's father, how many wooden sticks did she break, to defend her position at home?

Yun Gui was genuinely terrified. With a mournful face, she cried out, "Chunzhi, I was wrong. Please beg our mother for forgiveness. Can we still live a good life together from now on?"

Moved by him, Zhao Chunzhi's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded affectionately.

Yunluo was getting anxious. A scumbag like Third Uncle should be slapped twice and kicked three times, beaten until he cried for his parents and lost a layer of skin before he would learn his lesson.

What a waste of such good resources from my third aunt and brother.

If she's that good, she'll play a really good hand!

"Mother, A-Gui has already admitted his mistake and promised not to divorce me. Please don't hold it against him. Let the brothers go back."

Su Xiangli is really hopeless; her alliances are not unified, and she even wants to tear down the Yun family.

Seeing that the situation was improving, Yunlai quickly tried to wink at the old lady, but she was still furious after the fight and ignored him. So he had to go himself.

“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, this is all Yun Gui’s fault. Let the children make a fuss, don’t let it affect the relationship between our families. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll have them prepare a table for us to have a drink, and then we’ll make that Yun Gui kid kneel down and apologize to you.”

"mother……"

Su Xiangli waved her hand dismissively, "The matter is resolved, and I'm not in the mood for drinking. But Yun Gui, if you ever dare to treat my daughter like this again, I won't let you off the hook!"

“I’ll skin him alive myself, without my mother-in-law having to lift a finger,” Yunlai said.

Yunlu found it utterly boring. With her third aunt's personality, if she wasn't bullied, pigs would fly.

Now there's still Widow Wang; just wait, this is only the beginning.

She glanced around, her gaze landing on the Zhao family members who had already reached the door. The second brother of the Zhao family was staring at Yunlan as she returned from outside, looking infatuated, as if he had been bewitched.

So, you've already set your sights on it?

"Second brother, what are you standing there for?" Zhao Chunzhi pushed him, as if she had lost her soul.

Zhao Xiwang thought that the Yun family girl was really beautiful. In their village, all the ugly girls couldn't compare to her.

Today was a golden opportunity. His home was far from Qingshui Village, and he wouldn't have time to travel back and forth in the future. He didn't care about his sister and turned back, looking at Yunlai with excitement. "Uncle, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Chunwang, what are you doing?"

Yunlai glanced at Su Xiangli standing at the door and smiled kindly, "Go ahead and say it."

"I want Uncle to give Yunlan to me in marriage, so we can become even closer relatives, okay?"

Zhao Chunwang's eyes were fixed on Yunlan; how could the others not notice?

The room fell silent. Yunlan blushed, feeling both ashamed and angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? I've already promised myself to someone."

Su Xiangli was also shocked. Of all the people her silly son had fallen for, he had to choose hers. She quickly went over and pulled him away, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you want to get married, your mother will find you someone else."

Su Xiwang didn't care. He was known for being stubborn, or to put it simply, a bit dim-witted and stupid. "Even married couples can divorce each other. She hasn't even married into the family yet, so why can't she marry me? I like her, and I want her to be my wife!"

"Mother..." Yunlan was so ashamed and angry that she wanted to slap her twice.

"Second brother, don't talk nonsense, listen to mother." Zhao Chunzhi quickly stopped her, unaware of Yunlan's ambition to rise in society.

She's interested in my second brother? That's impossible.

Yun Shaojie was a little confused and asked in a low voice, "Sister, what's going on?"

Logically speaking, people who value etiquette wouldn't say such a thing, right?
