Cheng Yue recalled, and still shook her head, "They always discussed things behind my back."

Her interactions with the Liu family were mostly filled with insults and accusations, and no matter how wronged she felt, she swallowed it all for the sake of that bastard child.

It's really laughable; all her efforts over the years might just be a joke in the eyes of the Liu family.

"You can ask your family," Jiang Yi said, walking over and leading Hua Xiangyun back a few steps. Even acts of kindness should have their limits.

Cheng Yue was somewhat dazed. Since marrying into the Liu family, she had been either at work or busy with housework all day long, and her visits to her parents' home were always brief.

Over the years, her older siblings have been taking care of the two elderly people, and she doesn't know if they would be willing to lend a helping hand.

Jiang Yi sneered, "You can't even trust your closest relatives, but you trust your in-laws who suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

You already paid for the divination, and we, being unusually kind, gave you a few extra words of guidance. We apologize, but we cannot assist you with anything else.

Jiang Yi didn't give the other party a chance to react, and left with Hua Xiangyun after dismantling the formation.

Cheng Yue squatted in the corner for a long time before staggering away.

Hua Xiangyun returned to the street, now with her true appearance restored. "I just couldn't bear to see her deceived like this, and die in such an unclear way."

Jiang Yi sighed, "I know you're kind-hearted, but there are some things we need to leave unsaid for now."

If you show up and interfere, endless trouble will follow.

I just examined her face, and because of your intervention, a glimmer of hope has appeared on her face. If she can overcome this obstacle, she will have great fortune in the future.

Hua Xiangyun's tone was somewhat downcast, "You say that the same rice feeds a hundred different kinds of people, so why are these people so heartless?"

Seeing this situation, I can't help but want to lend a hand..."

Jiang Yi said, "The county town is only so big. This matter can't be hidden for long. It may be exposed in a few days, or it may be in the next day or two."

If there's any news, we can keep an eye on it and lend a hand if we can.

Hua Guangzong had also prepared some things and was about to take Xun Liangfen to Xunjia Village.

Hua Xiangyun has to attend classes now, and everyone else has to go to work, so this time it will be just the two of them going back.

This time, Xun Liangfen didn't dare to carry large bags like before. She only bought two boxes of pastries from the supply and marketing cooperative, plus some dried fish prepared by Hua Guangzong, making it much easier than before.

My body feels lighter, but my mood is somewhat heavy.

Since their falling out over the Lunar New Year, she has returned to her parents' home again, unsure how to face them.

He glanced sideways at Hua Guangzong, who was rushing on his way, and couldn't help but feel a little indignant. Why did he act like nothing had happened and forget what had happened before? It was all his fault.

Even if she harbored deep resentment, she had to suppress it. These past few days, although she had tried to ease the tension and seemed to be reintegrating into the family, everyone knew that there was still a barrier between them.

Hua Baoguo picked up two wooden sticks from the roadside and handed one to Xun Liangfen, saying, "Follow behind me and don't step on the weeds."

In previous years, I would always encounter some reptiles when I went back at this time of year. Having a stick in hand would make things easier.

"Actually, it's not a big deal to transfer a couple more times and spend a little more time." Xun Liangfen has traveled this road countless times, how could she not know that reptiles are slowly emerging now?

Hua Baoguo said, "There's no need to take a car and go around in circles. It's only going to your town, and it takes longer than walking back. Why spend money to suffer?"

It's good to walk around like this. We're always in the car, haven't you had enough of being in the car?

Xun Liangfen, "..."

Gu Yu glanced at the couple's arrival, then turned away without saying a word and went inside.

Xun Xingshun invited his daughter and son-in-law to sit down, and then asked his daughter-in-law to make noodles. "Don't pay attention to that old woman. She's always being sarcastic and strange. I don't know what's wrong with her."

Hua Baoguo knew the reason but didn't expose it. He placed all the tobacco leaves and gifts he had brought on the table and said, "Dad, it's been a while since I've been here. How are you all?"

“We’re all doing well. You’ve all worked hard out there, so don’t always worry about home. Besides, your older brothers are still here.” Xun Xingshun saw a bottle of wine on the table and picked it up with interest. “I didn’t save any for your father.”

Hua Baoguo said, "...You know my father's health isn't good for drinking anymore, so he specifically asked me to bring this over."

"Sigh!" Xun Xingshun said with a nostalgic look, "The days when your father and I would drink and laugh together are gone forever."

How is his health now? Is everything alright?

What about at home? How many children are there?

Hua Guangzong said that everything was fine at home, and that Hua Xiangyun's wedding date had been set. He said that he had come to invite Xun Jia to attend the ceremony.

Upon hearing that Hua Xiangyun's marriage had been arranged, the Xun family members all perked up their ears.

Xun Xingshun asked, "How did you decide so quickly? What are the other party's family circumstances like?"

Hua Baoguo picked out some examples to share, saying that even if he were looking for family members in the countryside, he would know that such conditions were the best.

In particular, the three sisters, including Da Ni, all looked envious. They were all girls, but their fates were so different.

Hua Xiangyun has had a better life than them since she was a child. She didn't have to do farm work. Now that she's grown up and married, her husband's conditions are much better than theirs.

Da Ni is also engaged. She's engaged to the village chief of the next village. I thought it was a great marriage, but now it's not presentable at all.

However, Xun Xingshun and his family did not think so, and they also talked about their own happy events.

Xun Liangtian said, "Da Ni's marriage is also arranged. It's with the Tian family in the village next to ours, but her wedding will be at the end of the year. Remember to come over then."

Xun Dani was originally very satisfied with the marriage, but now she was only annoyed. She lowered her head, turned around, and went back to her room.

"This child is just shy," Chen Eryao said bitterly, but she had to smooth things over for the child.

She also wanted her daughter to marry well, but the family's circumstances were what they were, and she had to accept reality.

However, my sister-in-law doesn't seem very happy. Could it be that there's something wrong with this marriage?

Just as Chen Eryao was about to take the person aside and ask quietly, Gu Yu came out at this moment, her face dark, and said, "Only your family treats a girl like a treasure. She's already engaged. What about your second son?"

When a younger sister marries before her older brother, there's no distinction between elder and younger...

"Shut up, what era are we living in? Don't believe those things." Xun Xingshun glared at Gu Yu, who trembled in fear, but seeing her son-in-law still sitting in front of her, she managed to regain some courage.

Xun Xingshun is a proud man, and even if you provoke him now, he won't make a move.

She forgot that the beating she received before the New Year was in front of her daughter, with her son-in-law standing outside the door listening.

“I’m not as biased as you are. Now that Hua Xiangyun’s marriage is settled, we should also talk about Zhi’an.”

Even if we're going to get married, we have to consider Zhi'an first.
