A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

Yunluo's eyes flickered. "I heard that my third aunt's second brother was born a bit slow on the uptake; he's an idiot."

If a fool knew manners, he wouldn't be a fool.

Seeing that everyone disagreed, Su Xi shook off her mother's hand and ran towards Yunlan, scaring Yunlan into hiding behind Wang Shi.

"Yunlan, don't be afraid, come out..."

"Auntie, come quick!" Wang was struggling to keep up with the woman's simple-minded son, and her words became increasingly incoherent.

Zhao Xiwang didn't care at all. Like an eagle catching a chick, the more Yunlan dodged, the happier he laughed.

"Don't come any closer! Yun Luo is much prettier than me. Go find her!" Yun Lan blurted out anxiously.

The war spread to Yun Luo. Zhao Xiwang glanced at her and saw that she was indeed very beautiful. He smiled, abandoned Yun Lan, and walked over to stare at Yun Luo.

Yun Luo wasn't afraid and just stood there, while Yun Shaojie stood in front of her, looking wary.

"Little brother."

Yunlu patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to move aside.

Just as Yunlan was feeling incredibly smug, eager to see Yunluo make a fool of herself, she heard something that completely shocked her.

"I don't like you even if you're pretty. I want Yunlan to be my wife!"

"Pfft..."

Yun Luo laughed out loud, "Who can escape the wrath of Heaven?"

"My dear in-laws, my son has a mental disability. I'm so sorry." Su Xiangli looked embarrassed. Even if Yun Lan was willing, she was unwilling to form a marriage alliance with the Yun family.

He called to his other sons, and they dragged Zhao Wangxi out of the Yun family home.

Even after the person had gone far away, Zhao Wangxi's repeated cries of "I want Yunlan" still echoed in my ears like a curse.

"That son of her in-laws is also..." The old lady was about to scold him, but seeing that Zhao Chunzhi was still there, she stopped herself from saying the rest and went back into the house with a dissatisfied expression.

Yunlan was terrified. She glared fiercely at Yunluo and then decided to go back as well.

"Sister Lan?" Yun Luo chuckled as she carried the basket over. "I've brought you something."

"What good stuff could you possibly have?" Yunlan asked suspiciously.

"Something that girls like? What, you're leaving if you don't want it?" Yun Luo pretended to leave, but Yun Lan grabbed her arm.

She stared at Yunluo's face, her jealousy distorted. How could someone who eats meager food and works hard all day be so fair and tender?

Could it be a good product for applying to the face?

She blinked. "Let me see."

Yunlu smiled without saying a word. Sometimes, Yunlan was quite naive.

She reached into the basket and rummaged around for a while, then grabbed the biggest and thickest earthworm and placed it in Yunlan's palm.

Yunlan stared at the crooked, disgusting thing in her palm, her eyes widening to the size of a bull's eyes. With a scream, she shook her hand violently and staggered backward, her voice trembling. When she looked up, she could no longer see Yunluo and her brother.

Bitch!

She actually lied to her! She's not letting this go!

The siblings laughed and went back to the backyard.

"Sis, I also dug up some earthworms this morning, and the chicks ate them with great relish."

"Right? Where's Mom? I haven't seen her."

Yun Shaojie's eyes flickered, and he scratched the back of his head, looking displeased. "What else could she be doing? Grandma came this morning and said Uncle broke his leg, and they're short-handed over there, so they took Mom to work. They never let Mom go back when they were doing well, but now..."

Yunluo vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.

However, she wasn't quite sure, as the original owner's memories were like a jumbled mess. "Little brother, did Grandpa and Grandma dislike Mother a lot?"

"Sister, have you forgotten again? Do you remember when Father had just passed away, Mother had no choice but to take us back to borrow some money, but Uncle and Aunt kicked us out?"

"Where are grandparents?"

"Grandpa was good, but Grandma didn't care about our lives at all." Yun Shaojie remembered those curses clearly and would never forget them for the rest of his life.

Although they are relatives, they are worse than strangers.

Yunlu felt a pang of sadness. She would have to ask her mother a good question when her mother returned. "Mother isn't home. Go back with your sister for dinner."

"sister……"

"Why are you being so formal with me?" Yunlu carried the chicks into the house, locked the door, and then the siblings went out.

The main house of the Yun family.

Yunlai puffed on his pipe, while Old Madam Yun leaned against the headboard, her face wrinkled and creased. Wang Shi and Yunlin sat in chairs opposite them.

"What do you two think about Yunlan and the scholar from the Li family's marriage? When do you think it would be a good time for them to get married?"

“Father, Lan’er is not young anymore, and it’s not good for her to stay at home all the time. I think we should talk to the elders of the Li family. The two have been engaged for some time now. If they get married sooner, it will save them from gossip.” Yunlin said.

"Okay, there are still a few jars of fine wine at home. We'll also bring some rare items. After dinner, we'll go to the Li family. Once things are settled, we can start preparing the betrothal gifts. Eldest daughter-in-law, you go out and talk to Lan'er. Make sure she dresses up nicely."

Yunlai was planning that if Lan'er married a scholar, he would save face.

"Hey."

When Wang went out, she spotted her daughter eavesdropping under the window. She beckoned to her, and the two of them went inside. "Lan'er, your grandpa and grandma have already discussed it. They'll talk to you about the marriage after dinner. You should dress up nicely."

"Really?" Yunlan was overjoyed; she had always dreamed of marrying him.

"Yes, I've got it. Wear your new light red dress. I'm going to cook."

"Okay." Yunlan got dressed with great enthusiasm.

At the Qin family home, Yunluo cooked the quail she had caught, but it was only a small dish, so she was just thinking about what else to cook. Yun Shaojie magically brought back a few eels. She used minced garlic and chili to stir-fry them until fragrant, then made soup. She served some to Aunt Zhang's family, kept some for her own family, and planned to send the rest to Qin Zheng, and also to see what kind of work her brother Qin did.

She packed her things, put them in the basket, and went out. She saw Fatty coming towards her.

Fatty has been exercising every day these past few days, and she's lost even more weight than when I last saw her.

"Xiao Luo, where are you going?"

“I’m going to town to bring some food to Brother Qin. It’s his first day there, and I want to see what kind of work he does.”

Fatty smiled ambiguously, winking and making faces. The door opposite opened, and Tiger opened the courtyard gate, leading the oxcart out. Seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Fatty."

"Tiger, where are you going?"

"My uncle's family is coming to help us clean the pigsty tomorrow, and my mother asked me to go to town to buy some things to entertain them."

As soon as Hu Zi finished speaking, Pang Ya's eyes lit up. She grabbed Yun Luo's arm and said excitedly, "Hu Zi, Xiao Luo and I are going to town too. How about you give us a ride?"

"No problem, even if you buy things, there's still room for you two. We'll go together and come back together." Tiger tied the bags on the oxcart to one side to make room for the two of them.

Fatty was overjoyed. She chose a spot very close to Tiger. Yun Luo shook her head. Fatty definitely hadn't planned to go to town before she came.
