"Yun Ningyan! Where did you take your daughter-in-law? You're back, but why isn't she?"

Aunt Ma ran over and pointed at her nose, cursing.

Yun Ningyan gave her a cold look and said, "Aunt Ma, your daughter-in-law has broken the law. If you want to save her, go to the police station. Don't make a scene here!"

Aunt Ma came here to cause trouble because she wanted money. Her daughter-in-law had been arrested, and it was all Yun Ningyan's fault. Yun Ningyan had to compensate her!

Otherwise, she won't let this matter rest!

She sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and wailed, "My poor daughter-in-law! She was ruined by that little bitch Yun Ningyan and ended up in the police station. I won't live until I get an explanation today! My son finally got a wife, and now he's in jail. How are my son and I supposed to live?"

When Yun Ningyan heard her being scolded, her face immediately darkened.

Why is this old hag singled out her for her own sake?

She turned around, went back into the house, grabbed a stick, and started hitting Granny Ma. Granny Ma saw her dragging the stick out and was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet.

"Yun Ningyan, you still dare to hit me? You got my daughter-in-law into the police station. What does your affair with Huo Junshan have to do with my daughter-in-law? You're a vixen. Seducing Huo Junshan wasn't enough, you also have to harm my daughter-in-law."

She ran away cursing, and Yun Ningyan sneered. She didn't chase after her, but just stood there watching Aunt Ma sneer.

Lin Mengmeng came over and pulled her back, saying, "Ningning, don't be angry. Aunt Ma is just a troublemaker. You should try to stay away from her."

Yun Ningyan nodded.

The ribs in the pot were almost cooked. She took out two lunchboxes and weighed them out. There was just a little bit left in the pot.

"Mengmeng, you should take this back and eat it. I might not be back until tonight."

She took the lunchbox and left.

When she arrived at the Huo family's house, the whole courtyard was filled with the aroma of pork ribs. Huo Jianshe smiled and asked, "Sister Yun, what delicious food did you make for Third Brother?"

Yun Ningyan raised the lunchbox in her hand. "Pork rib soup, to nourish him."

Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying both stared at her lunchbox, hoping she would be polite, but after greeting her mother-in-law and father-in-law with the lunchbox, she walked away.

Wang Cuihong snorted inwardly in anger.

Huo Junshan was lying in bed sleeping when he heard the door open.

"What did you make? It smells so good!"

"Pork rib soup, get up and eat. Take good care of yourself these next few days and you'll recover faster."

Huo Junshan was just about to eat when someone knocked on the door. Yun Ningyan went to open the door.

Li Xiangyun stood at the door with a bowl in her hand, smiling. "Ningning, I made shredded potatoes and stir-fried eggplant. I'll bring you some, and two steamed buns too."

Yun Ningyan took the food, and Li Xiangyun left.

After lunch, Huo Junshan asked Yun Ningyan to take a nap in his room, but Yun Ningyan refused. The whole Huo family was in the courtyard, and if she took a nap in the house with Huo Junshan, what would others think of her?

I bet the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Huo family are already unhappy!

I wonder what she thinks of me!

She packed up the lunchbox and walked outside. Huo Junshan looked unhappy; he insisted on staying home to rest over such a minor injury.

He wanted to say that he wouldn't miss anything, but as soon as he mentioned going out, Yun Ningyan disagreed, so he could only stay at home and lie there obediently.

After everyone else had gone to sleep that night, he secretly went to the educated youth settlement to find her.

Yun Ningyan saw Li Xiangyun, Wang Cuihong, and Zhang Hongying cutting paper in the yard. They had many different designs, which she found fascinating.

I'd also like to give it a try.

But she doesn't know how to cut.

Li Xiangyun taught her step by step, and she wasted two sheets of paper before cutting out a big red "囍" (double happiness) character.

She spent an entire afternoon learning paper cutting, sometimes cutting window decorations, sometimes cutting double happiness symbols, and sometimes cutting auspicious dragon and phoenix designs. She learned many different patterns.

She's a future mother-in-law with a lot of tricks up her sleeve; she's already cut quite a few.

She spent the afternoon at the Huo family's house and had dinner there before returning to her educated youth settlement.

She went back into the house, turned around and went into the space to wash her hair and take a shower. The sheets and blankets had already been changed.

She dried her hair, played with the little tiger in the space for a while, and then left the space.

She closed the door and went to sleep, lying in bed looking at the ceiling.

Huo Junshan is here every day, and the two of them sleep in the same bed. Today, Huo Junshan isn't here, and she feels a little uncomfortable.

She was thinking about many things in a daze, and before she knew it, she was about to fall asleep when she heard a rustling sound at the door. She opened her eyes.

"Yanyan, open the door, it's me!"

It is Huo Junshan.

She sighed helplessly. "Look how badly you're injured, and you still won't behave yourself."

She got up and opened the door, and Huo Junshan dragged himself in.

Did I wake you? Make some room for me.

He lay down on the bed as he spoke, and Yun Ningyan had no choice but to move over to the other side.

"You're injured, so why don't you just stay home and behave yourself? What are you doing here?"

Huo Junshan pulled him into his arms and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'm worried about not being by your side."

The two fell asleep in each other's arms.

midnight.

Yun Ningyan suddenly opened her eyes.

She quietly got up, put on her clothes, and prepared to go out.

Huo Junshan grabbed her arm. "Where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Yun Ningyan didn't expect him to wake up so quickly. She honestly confessed, "I went to teach Aunt Ma a lesson for coming to see me today!"

"Together."

The two of them got dressed in the dark and headed towards Aunt Ma's house.

After waiting for a while in the woods in front of Aunt Ma's house, Yun Ningyan yawned repeatedly, "I'm so sleepy, why isn't she coming out yet?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Granny Ma came out of the front door clutching her stomach, clearly in a hurry to use the restroom.

Yun Ningyan glanced at the latrine next to her family's toilet and formed a plan in her mind; that Granny Ma always had a foul mouth.

Today, let her taste the real stench!

She produced a burlap sack in her hand, tiptoed out, and, taking advantage of Granny Ma's inattention, put the burlap sack over Granny Ma's body.

Grandma Ma was startled. She yelled at the top of her lungs, "Who is it? If anyone dares to ambush me, I'll beat them to death!"

She was incredibly strong, and in the struggle she almost tore the sack off. Yun Ningyan, fearing that she would be discovered, delivered a swift chop to Granny Ma, and Granny Ma immediately fainted.

She stuffed the person into a sack and kicked him directly into the cesspool. The cesspool wasn't deep; it had just been used to carry manure a while ago, but there was still manure inside.

As long as no one dies, it doesn't matter how much trouble it causes.

Huo Junshan rubbed her head. "Did she upset you again?"

Yun Ningyan nodded. "That old woman is giving me trouble every day. It's so annoying!"

The two went back to sleep hand in hand.

The next morning, Yun Ningyan was woken up by Lin Mengmeng, who said, "Ningning, wake up, there's something interesting to see."

She opened her eyes, still confused. "What?"

"Aunt Ma has been thrown into the cesspool by someone, and the brigade leader sent people down to retrieve her! Let's go take a look."

After Yun Ningyan got dressed, the two of them went over to watch the spectacle. Granny Ma was still struggling in the sack, and several men were trying to pull her out.

But she wouldn't cooperate and kept moving around.
