Clang—

Tian Xiaohui kicked away the iron basin beside her feet, glaring angrily at the two people in the open courtyard above. It's just a wedding, what's there to be so smug about? Being so affectionate in broad daylight, aren't they ashamed?

The sound drew the attention of both Ye Yun and Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng's house was on higher ground, while Tian Xiaohui's house was below. When Ye Yun looked down, her eyes met those of Tian Xiaohui, who was staring at her intently from below.

Tian Xiaohui immediately snorted coldly, picked up the iron basin, and turned to go into the house.

He didn't want to look at Ye Yun even once more.

Ye Yun watched as Tian Xiaohui slammed the door shut with a bang, and her eyes twitched involuntarily. Why was this girl so temperamental?

"Wife?" Qin Zheng called out worriedly.

Regarding Tian Xiaohui's matter, he both hoped Ye Yun would be angry and was afraid that Ye Yun would actually be angry. He glanced at Ye Yun cautiously, his expression hesitant.

Qin Xiang'e also heard the commotion and quickly ran out with a smile to smooth things over, saying, "His wife, don't be angry with Xiao Hui. That's just her temper; she's like a child."

Ye Yun smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm not angry."

Qin Xiang'e nodded hastily, but she couldn't hide the worry in her eyes. She repeatedly gave Qin Zheng a look, signaling him to coax Ye Yun properly.

Qin Zheng was frustrated.

What's there to coax?

His wife wasn't angry at all, and there was no way she could be. Why was he trying to coax her?

He's the one who needs to be coaxed!

Sigh, why can't his wife make a fuss about this?

Sizzle...

Qin Zheng felt a cool sensation on his trouser leg. Looking down, he saw that the puppy had torn his trouser leg and was biting it, pulling it backward with all its might.

"This little bastard..." Qin Zheng was both amused and exasperated, and picked it up and threw it aside.

The puppy was also furious and howled. Without thinking twice, it pounced on Qin Zheng again, biting his trouser leg and pulling it backward. This time, Qin Zheng was so angry that his temples throbbed, but he couldn't do anything about the puppy, so he could only throw it away.

The puppy was stubborn too, and relentlessly pounced on his trouser leg again.

It lunged, and Qin Zheng pushed it away; the two engaged in a back-and-forth struggle.

Ye Yun chuckled.

"Qin Zheng, why are you getting angry over a dog?"

"Is it just an ordinary dog? Look at my pants!" Qin Zheng was furious. He laughed and cursed, showing Ye Yun the pant leg that the puppy had chewed to shreds.

This made Ye Yun even happier.

Qin Xiang'e, who was cooking in the kitchen, felt relieved when she saw the two of them laughing, and she laughed along, "His wife, where did you two get this little rascal? He's such a troublemaker!"

"I found it!"

Ye Yun said with a smile.

She dared not tell Qin Xiang'e that she bought it, otherwise Qin Xiang'e would definitely scold her for being stupid if she knew that she spent five cents to buy a dog!

Qin Xiang'e quickly prepared the meal.

Wild vegetables are very salty. Farmers often don't have enough to eat or can't afford vegetables, so they deliberately stir-fry the vegetables to be very salty so they can eat cornbread. Even though there are plenty of wild vegetables this season, adding more salt has become a habit for them.

However, today's wild vegetables are both salty and plentiful.

"I messed up, I messed up..." Qin Xiang'e kept muttering, as she deftly scooped out some vegetables. "You guys eat first, I'll take some to Aunt Tian's house. They have a lot of kids, and they often don't have enough to eat."

Upon hearing this, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ye Yun's mind.

"Auntie, I'll go!"
