A Happy Event in a Farming Family: Marrying a Hunter

"Tiger, Xiao Luo is going to see Qin Zheng later. The two of them have some private things to talk about. Can I go with you?" Fatty asked, winking at Yun Luo.

Tiger, driving the carriage, didn't see the interaction between the two. "No problem."

Fatty happily grabbed Yunluo's hand.

Yunlu looked at the back of her hand, which had been pinched red by the chubby girl, and silently rolled her eyes.

The longest-running routine she's ever fallen for is the one involving Fatty.

On the way to town, it was mostly Fatty and Tiger talking. Tiger was a man of few words, but under Fatty's intense questioning, he became more talkative. Yunlu was so drowsy from being jostled around in the oxcart that she was starting to feel sleepy.

"Wake up, Xiao Luo, we're here!" Fatty pushed her. Yun Luo rubbed her eyes, picked up the simple food box, and got off the bus. "Fatty, Tiger, I'm leaving now."

"Okay, Fatty and I will be waiting for you here then."

Yunlu drove around most of the town before finally finding the place where Qin Zheng was working.

It was a stone quarry, and many shirtless men were going in and out, their small carts full of stones.

"Young lady, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Qin Zheng."

The man glanced at her and suddenly laughed, "Oh, it's Qin Zheng's wife. Zhou Hao, Qin Zheng's wife is here. Quickly take her over."

Yunlu knew Zhou Hao; she had heard Qin Zheng mention him.

When Zhou Hao arrived, there was also a woman with delicate features.

Before the other party could speak, the woman looked Yun Luo up and down, took her hand affectionately, and smiled, "Sister-in-law, right? I'm Zhou Hao's wife, Wan Haitang. I've heard Qin Zheng mention you. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. No wonder Qin Zheng always talks about you."

"Brother Zhou, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, come and bring us food. It's almost lunchtime, and it's time for you to rest. We'll take you there."

As Yun Luo followed, Qin Zheng returned from unloading the stones. He wasn't wearing a shirt, revealing his muscles, with sweat dripping down his back, giving him a unique wildness.

"Brother Qin."

"Xiao Luo?" Qin Zheng seemed surprised that she would come.

"Oh dear, you two are such a couple, why are you being so coy? It's not like you've only been married for one day." Wan Cuihong said, pulling Yun Luo over and pushing her next to Qin Zheng. Yun Luo's face turned red, and she definitely wouldn't have been able to stand up if Brother Qin hadn't supported her.

"Xiao Luo is shy, sister-in-law, please don't tease her," Qin Zheng explained.

"No joking, no joking. It's perfect. The four of us can eat together. Your older brother said last night that it was inconvenient for you to come to town to deliver food, so he asked me to bring an extra portion. I thought you weren't coming. At this place, they only give two cornbreads, and we're doing manual labor. We're not going to get enough to eat."

Yun Luo was taken aback. She glanced around and saw that most of the people around her had family members bringing them food. This meant that if she didn't come today, Brother Qin would have to eat with Brother Zhou's family.

Didn't Brother Qin tell her?

Zhou Hao seemed to sense something, and while clearing away the food, he said, "It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks, no problem."

“Brother Zhou and his wife’s family isn’t doing well either, so how can they eat your food every day? How about this, sister-in-law, we can take turns delivering it. I’ll deliver it tomorrow, and you can deliver it the day after, okay? That way, both of you can have some time to do things.”

Otherwise, all that time would be wasted on the road every time we travel back and forth.

Wan Haitang laughed, "Alright, sister-in-law is the quickest-witted one."

Yun Luo smiled without saying a word, opened the box, and Wan Haitang leaned over to take a look, her eyes lighting up. "Good heavens, there are some rare things in here."

Yunlu was glad that she had brought enough food, otherwise today would have been awkward.

"Let me do it, you sit down for a while." Qin Zheng took the bowl from her hand. She wanted to ask something, but in the end, she didn't.

Why didn't Brother Qin tell me about delivering food, preferring to share with his brother? Was it because he didn't want to trouble me? Or did he simply not want his brother to know about me?

Because the marriage was all fake, is that right?

This distance made her feel somewhat lost.

She didn't know if it was the right thing to do to offer to bring her food.

While she was in a daze, she saw a pair of chopsticks being handed to her. Yun Luo was taken aback, took them, and began to distribute the eel slices to Zhou Hao and Wan Cuihong.

"If I had known my sister-in-law was coming, I would have fried an extra egg!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed, we've already eaten at home." Yun Luo said while picking up some food. Just as she put down her chopsticks, she saw Qin Zheng put the egg from his bowl into an empty bowl and put it into her hand.

"Just an egg."

Yunlu didn't say anything and ate silently.

The four of them exchanged dishes and enjoyed the meal. Originally, there was time to rest after the meal, and family members could stay and chat with them.

Zhou Hao and Wan Haitang sat on a rock not far away, talking intimately. Yun Luo packed her things and didn't intend to stay. "Brother Qin, I'll head back now."

"Xiao Luo!"

"what?"

"It's hot now, let's leave later." Qin Zheng noticed her listless appearance and seemed to sense something was wrong.

Yunlu shook her head, "No, Fatty and Tiger are still waiting for me."

She always had this feeling that she had intruded into a world he didn't want her to enter, and that feeling was absolutely terrible.

Qin Zheng didn't try to stop her; he just stood there, watching the girl's figure gradually disappear.

After Wan Haitang left, Zhou Hao took a sip of water, slowly strolled over, and sighed, "Why didn't you tell her you were going to bring her food? What do you think your sister-in-law will think?"

Qin Zheng remained silent.

Zhou Hao clicked his tongue twice. "Why do you have to do this? You can't bear to part with it, but you don't even bother to explain. You just stand here and watch, and your sister-in-law doesn't know anything."

"You don't understand!" The man's deep eyes seemed to hold the weight of millennia of history.

Zhou Hao shrugged. "Okay, just don't regret it later. Let's get to work!"

Yunlu went to the agreed place to wait for Pangya and Huzi. She waited for a full half hour, and was almost asleep, before she saw Huzi and Pangya carrying large and small bags, heading towards her.

The chubby girl was still holding a few strings of candied hawthorns. When she saw Yun Luo, she shoved them into her hand and said, "Here you go."

"Why are you giving me so many?" Yunlu asked, noticing that she had three strings of skewers in her hand.

Fatty glared at her, "Take the remaining two skewers to the kids so they can try them. Tiger bought them for them."

Tiger chuckled, his face full of good-naturedness. "It's not expensive. I also brought some for Yanzi. She even ate your eel dumplings this morning."

"Thank you, Tiger." Yun Luo chuckled. Meeting Aunt Zhang and her family, she must have saved the galaxy in her past life.

On their way back, it was the hottest part of the day, so Tiger decided to take a side path where there were more trees and it was cooler.

"Xiao Luo, isn't this candied hawthorn delicious?"

Yunlu nodded. It was sweet and sour, coated with a bright red sugar coating, and tasted quite delicious. "By the way, Fatty, what good stuff did you buy? Look at your bulging bag."

Fatty quickly gave her a look, signaling her to be quiet. When she opened the cloth bag, there was a piece of cloth. Fatty, who was wearing dark clothes, pointed to her own shoes and then to Tiger, indicating that she wanted to make shoes for Tiger.

With a "thump," the oxcart suddenly stopped.
