A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.

Song Yanyan had made up her mind. If her second brother remained stubbornly obsessed with love, then she wouldn't blame her for being ruthless and urging him to go and complain to her mother!

Her mother's rolling pin was no joke!

Song Yueping looked conflicted and sighed, "I don't have any other feelings for Cuihong anymore. It's just..." Song Yueping sighed again, "After all, she's a girl I used to like. Seeing her come to coax me like this, I still feel a little sad. I don't know how to comfort her."

“Then you have to explain things clearly to Zhai Cuihong.” Song Yanyan scratched her braid hanging over her shoulder. “Second brother, you know, Mother has been looking for a husband for you recently. It’s not fair to the girl you’re treating her like this.”

Although Song Yueping was conflicted, she nodded emphatically: "I told her before, but she wouldn't listen... But Yan Yan is right, it's not fair to the other girls. If she comes again next time, I'll tell her not to come again. There's absolutely no way we can be together."

Song Yanyan nodded inwardly. Her second brother had become quite clear-headed after waking up from his infatuation.

However, Song Yanyan really didn't expect that the next day, when Song Yueping spoke frankly, Zhai Cuihong actually knelt down before Song Yueping with tears in her eyes, which startled Song Yueping so much that she almost jumped up.

"No, what are you doing?"

Song Yueping wanted to reach out and pull her, but she was mindful of the proper separation between men and women and dared not touch Zhai Cuihong. However, she could not let Zhai Cuihong continue to kneel in the courtyard.

The gate is still open. What if someone else sees this?

He can't explain himself no matter what.

Song Yueping was caught in a dilemma: she couldn't help him up, and she couldn't leave him behind.

I felt incredibly awkward and uneasy.

“Brother Ping, I know I was wrong before. But I had no choice. My mother only cares about my brother and doesn’t care whether I live or die…” Zhai Cuihong cried, her face streaked with tears, kneeling on the ground, looking utterly pitiful. “My brother has taken a liking to a girl, and her family is asking for ten taels of silver as a dowry. My mother wants to sell me to that widower in the mountains to get the dowry for my brother… But that widower’s previous wife was beaten to death by him. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die…”

Zhai Cuihong cried pitifully.

Song Yanyan was originally playing with her twin nephews and nieces in the house when she heard the commotion. She looked out the window and pursed her lips.

Now that the knife has cut you, do you feel the pain?

Who was it that, taking advantage of her second brother's love-struck nature, forced her family to give ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift and wanted to marry her off to him?

Now that they're going to remarry her, she's crying.

Song Yanyan leaned against the windowsill and watched without saying a word, wanting to see how her second brother would handle the situation.

Song Yueping actually brought a ladder, placed it on the eaves, and climbed onto the roof like a monkey, keeping a good distance from Zhai Cuihong.

We absolutely cannot let Zhai Cuihong's head bump against him.

"Cuihong, you should go back." Song Yueping squatted on the roof, clinging to the eaves. "I can't help you. It's impossible for us anymore."

Zhai Cuihong was stunned as she knelt there.

Just then, the neighbor's aunt came to borrow a needle and thread. She pushed open the courtyard gate and was about to call out to Song Yanyan to ask if she had any indigo thread to lend her when she saw Zhai Cuihong kneeling on the ground.

Song Yueping, on the other hand, seemed to be avoiding suspicion and even ran to the roof!

If the eaves weren't so high, he would have climbed to the moon!

The neighbor auntie stared in disbelief: "What are you all doing?"

Zhai Cuihong froze.

She originally intended to use kneeling and crying to pressure Song Yueping, preferably so that outsiders would see her crying and kneeling, which would definitely mean that Song Yueping had done something to her.

—In fact, when the neighbor saw Zhai Cuihong kneeling there, that was also her first reaction.

But Song Yueping is still squatting on the roof!

It seems like they're trying to avoid it at all costs, so they can only choose the furthest place to stay!

The neighbor's aunt's expression was rather intriguing.

Even with her thick skin, Zhai Cuihong blushed under the meaningful scrutiny of her neighbor.

Song Yanyan lifted the curtain and came out, calling out "Auntie," as if she hadn't seen Zhai Cuihong kneeling there, and greeted the neighbor auntie: "Auntie, is there something you need?"

The neighbor aunt slapped her forehead, trying hard not to look at Zhai Cuihong, who was kneeling there in a somewhat comical way.

She smiled and said, "I was doing needlework today and I just happened to be short of some indigo thread, so I came to ask if you had any."

"Yes, Auntie, come to my room. I'll get a winnowing basket, and you can see if it's the right color." Song Yanyan then welcomed her neighbor into her room.

He didn't glance at Zhai Cuihong once from beginning to end.

Zhai Cuihong's face turned from red to white, looking quite unsightly.

Seeing Song Yueping squatting on the eaves like a monkey, looking as if she would rather be a monkey than be touched by her, Zhai Cuihong finally broke down. She got up from the ground crying, covered her face and ran away crying.

The neighbor lady was picking out silk threads. Hearing the noise, she glanced out the window and clicked her tongue.

She lowered her voice, "Yan Yan, it's not that I'm being nosy, but that girl from the Zhai family isn't a good match. You should also advise your second brother not to let him lose his mind again."

Song Yanyan pointed to Song Yueping outside the window, who was climbing down the ladder from the eaves: "...Auntie is worried, but my second brother would rather climb the roof than touch her, so he definitely won't be confused again."

The neighbor aunt nodded in agreement, then, remembering something, smiled and said, "Speaking of which... I have a niece on my mother's side. She's a good person, has a good personality, and is incredibly beautiful, you see..."

Song Yanyan skillfully used the lantern flower as a cover: "...Auntie's niece must be very outstanding, but my mother said that my second brother was too confused before, so she has to personally oversee his marriage. When my mother comes back, Auntie will talk to her about it?"

"That's fine too." The neighbor auntie picked out the indigo blue thread and left satisfied.

When she arrived outside the Song family's house, someone saw the neighbor aunt leaving and said mysteriously, "You just went to the Song family's house? That girl surnamed Zhai from Shuiwanggou just ran out of the Song family's house crying. Do you know why?"

At this point, the neighbor lady got excited and chuckled, "You've come to the right person! ...I saw it clearly just now, that woman surnamed Zhai was kneeling there crying, probably begging Song Yueping to marry her. Guess where Song Yueping is?"

Seeing that the other person couldn't guess, the neighbor auntie proudly revealed the answer: "You can't believe it! You would never guess that Song Yueping actually climbed up a ladder to the roof to avoid that Zhai family girl!"

"Really? That's outrageous! ...Speaking of which, back in last year, wasn't Song Jiayueping always following that Zhai family girl around? Later, I heard that their marriage proposal to Shuiwanggou failed. It's only been half a year, how come that Zhai family girl has changed her attitude?"
