Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.

After Xu Xiucai finished speaking, the onlookers couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The formalities have been observed, and the Yu family should now accept the marriage proposal. Besides, everyone knows that Yu Banxia likes Xu Xiucai.

I'm afraid those words I said yesterday were just because I was angry.

If they really knew that Scholar Xu had come to their door, they would probably be happier than anyone else.

Some people looked around to see where Yu Banxia had gone.

"Xu Xiucai, you're supposed to be a scholar, how come you can't understand what others are saying?"

"I've already said, Xiaxia won't marry, we don't agree to this marriage!" Madam Wu said again.

Madam Ji couldn't hold back any longer and said anxiously, "Grandma, although marriage is arranged by matchmakers and parents, it is common knowledge that Banxia likes my Ziyan."

"Your Banxia's reputation is long gone, but my Ziyan is a scholar who will one day pass the imperial examinations and be ranked among the top three."

"Shouldn't we at least let Yu Banxia make her own choice?"

Mrs. Wu couldn't help but laugh: "You still know about Xiaxia's efforts and the loss of her reputation these past two years?"

"Then why didn't you come to propose marriage sooner?"

"My Xiaxia has changed her mind, and you're all getting anxious. Why didn't you do this sooner?"

"Get out! My Yu family does not agree to this marriage."

As he spoke, he picked up a broom and used it to knock Xu's mother and son, as well as the matchmaker, out of the house.

Ji tried to force her way in, but the door slammed shut.

She nearly bumped into Madam Ji's nose. Madam Ji's face turned ashen. Standing at the door, she angrily cursed, "Well done, Yu family! Our Xu family has already given you enough face. Since you don't appreciate it, don't blame me for my sharp tongue."

"What kind of good thing is your Yu Banxia? She might have already slept with my Ziyan behind your backs."

"You kicked us out while Yu Banxia was away. Let's see how Yu Banxia deals with you when she gets back... Ugh... You old hag, I'm not done with you!"

Ji was cursing at the door when it was suddenly opened. Before she could take back her words, Wu threw a basin of foul-smelling swill at her.

vomit…

"roll!"

"If you continue to spread rumors in front of my house, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"Does she really think she's something special? Three years ago, who knows who climbed into the bed of a lame old widower for a little money? Bah!" Wu's words frightened Ji's face.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't dare say anything, and turned away dejectedly.

Xu Xiucai's face was also not good. How could he, as the son, not know what his mother had done?

Seeing that Wu also knew about this, they dared not continue to cause trouble here.

They came full of pride, but left dejectedly.

Xu Xiucai turned around, glanced at Yu Banxia's house, snorted, and left with a dark face.

"Auntie, what were you talking about just now?" Zhao asked curiously.

Wu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Being curious about everything won't do you any good. Everyone, go home. There's nothing interesting to see."

Zhao didn't dare to argue with Wu, and went home full of curiosity.

The other villagers who had been watching also dispersed. They were all from the same clan, and since they were all related by blood, they naturally wouldn't gossip.

Wu Zhuxiang hesitated for a moment: "Grandma, if we drive Xu Xiucai away like this, won't Xiaxia blame us when she comes back?"

“I know my own granddaughter. If she says she doesn’t like something, she will never go back on her word, just like me.” Wu glanced at her granddaughter-in-law before speaking with a hint of pride.

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Fan Cuilan felt a little more at ease.

"Alright, you continue with your work, I'll feed Lian'er."

Seeing that her mother-in-law said the same thing, Wu Zhuxiang went back to work in silence, but she no longer had the enthusiasm she had before.

They were afraid that their sister-in-law would be angry with them when she came back.

……

Yu Banxia's nose was a little itchy, and she couldn't help but sneeze.

"What's wrong?" Yu Banyue looked at her worriedly, thinking that Yu Banxia had caught a cold.

Yu Banxia shook her head, smiled at her, and reassured her, "It's nothing, it's nothing. My nose just suddenly felt a little itchy. Maybe a little bug blew into my nose by the wind."

"Then check if it's still there." Yu Banyue looked at her with concern.

Yu Banxia rubbed her nose and replied with a smile, "It seems she's gone. Sister, how much longer until we get to town?"

The old man driving the cart was an elder in the village, and Yu Banxia had to call him Sixth Grandpa.

Yu Bingsheng chuckled and said, "Almost there, we'll be there in about an incense stick's time."

There weren't many people in town today. There was also a middle-aged man with a sullen face who didn't say a word; he was a hunter from another village.

Yu Banyue told him that his name was Ancheng, a hunter from Anjia Village, and that he used to work as a yamen runner in the county.

Later, for some reason, I returned to Anjia Village.

He lost his wife and children, and spent his days alone, with a cold face that looked frightening, but he was actually a very good person. He was the one who taught his third brother how to hunt.

He was practically my third brother's mentor.

Today I went to town to sell furs and game, and I was talking quietly with my third brother.

Swaying and staggering, just as Yu Banxia was about to fall asleep, they arrived at Yunshan Town.

Each person paid one coin, showed their identity, and was allowed to enter the town.

"I'll go sell my game at Wangyue Tower now. It's settled then, we'll go hunting together in the mountains three days from now."

An Cheng got out of the car and said to Yu Mancang.

Yu Mancang nodded quickly: "Okay, Uncle Ancheng, I'll come to see you in three days."

"No, let me come find you. It's easier to get into the mountains from your village by that road," An Cheng waved his hand and said to Yu Mancang.

Yu Mancang sighed and didn't insist.

"We'll head back at 1:15 PM, and we should be back before then," Yu Bingsheng instructed his three siblings.

Yu Mancang sighed and, limping, led his sisters toward the street.

"Xiaxia, there are two pharmacies in Yunshan Town. One is Shanjitang, owned by Guo the rich man, but it doesn't have a good reputation. The medicines are expensive and often contain moldy herbs."

Yu Mancang said in a low voice.

"The other one is Huichun Pavilion, which everyone says is a conscientious shop."

"Then let's go straight to Huichun Pavilion." Yu Banxia really didn't know the situation in this town.

When the family hunted game and came to town to exchange it for money, either the eldest brother or the third brother would come alone, so what he said was certainly true.

Yu Mancang nodded and led the two sisters through several turns until they arrived at a pharmacy.

Yu Banxia discovered that Shanjitang was not far away, just on the street diagonally opposite Huichun Pavilion.

"Are you here to pick up medicine or to see a doctor?" the shop assistant asked as soon as he saw people come in.

Yu Mancang walked over and said, "It's like this, my brother and I picked some medicinal herbs on the mountain yesterday and wanted to sell them at your shop. I wonder if the shopkeeper is here?"

The shop assistant quickly agreed, but said there was no need to find the shopkeeper; he could accept it on his own, though he needed to check the quality of the herbs.

"Let's talk in the inner room!" Yu Banxia said, and the waiter glanced at the veiled girl.

He was still wondering what kind of medicinal herbs they had brought, and why they wanted to go into the inner room to talk.

Despite his inner turmoil, the waiter still led the men into the inner room.
