In the afternoon, after Wu Chen and Chen Yu sobered up, they drove their carriage home.

It's winter after all, and it's not safe to leave late.

"Take this chicken to Yuyan. We don't have anything good at home, so please don't mind it."

Yuhan, take these eggs back for Yueyue to eat.

Mother Wei caught another chicken; Wu Chen and the others had brought quite a lot of things.

Mother Wei was also very generous, giving a chicken to Wei Yuyan and a basket of eggs to her eldest daughter, Yuhan.

“Mother-in-law, we have quite a few chickens at home. You can keep this one for yourselves.”

Wu Chen refused to accept it no matter what. His mother-in-law's family wasn't well-off, so how could he possibly accept her chickens?

"Oh, this is just a small token of my appreciation, you must accept it."

Mother Wei insisted on shoving the basket into Wu Chen's hands.

"Let's go! Wei Qiang, take the chicken back."

Wu Chen drove about fifty meters with the basket in his hand, then put the basket down and told his brother-in-law to take it back. He then sped up and drove the carriage out of the village.

"Oh, this child."

Mother Wei took the chicken back, and Father Wei felt even more strongly that forcing his second daughter to marry Wu Chen was the right decision.

After returning home, Wei Yuhan waited for Wei Yuyan to come and ask about her parents' situation.

As a result, Wei Yuyan acted as if nothing had happened and did not inquire about her family's affairs.

“Yesterday, when we went back, my parents were looking forward to it. My brother said that my mother looked at the gate again and again, just hoping that we would come back.”

Wei Yuhan finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to talk about her family.

"Is that so...?"

Wei Yuyan wasn't interested in the matter anyway. The original owner of this body harbored resentment towards her parents, and her death was inextricably linked to them.

I have no right to forgive them on behalf of the original owner.

"Yuyan, your parents have their own reasons, and they care about you."

Before leaving, she kept asking Wu Chen to bring back a chicken for her to eat, but Wu Chen said that their conditions were not good and refused.

Wei Yuhan kept talking about how much her parents cared about them.

Hopefully, Wei Yuyan can gradually let go of her resentment.

“There are so many chickens at home. Perfect timing. I was just saying I'd make you guys some stir-fried chicken today. I'm going to kill a chicken.”

Wei Yuyan wouldn't be moved by a chicken; she could only think of the miserable life the original owner endured for a year after marrying into the family.

After I transmigrated here, although the conditions were a bit better, I was still quite tired, and I never saw my so-called parents and younger brother come to visit me.

It was this older sister who remembered her and sent her things even though she was so far away.

This is why Wei Yuyan is so kind to her sister's family.

"This girl~".

The older sister watched her younger sister's figure; the younger sister was still as stubborn as ever.

Her parents had wanted her to marry Wu Chen, but she absolutely refused. If it were her, she would have accepted the arranged marriage and resigned herself to fate.

The village chief's house~

“Daughter, what’s wrong? You’ve lost some weight recently.”

The village chief's wife noticed that Liu Cuifang's face seemed to have become a little more pointed, and her belly had grown larger, almost six months along, which was already quite obvious.

"Mom, it's nothing. I haven't had much of an appetite lately."

Liu Cuifang felt a headache coming on whenever she thought about the troubles at home. What a mess!

Ever since her mother-in-law found out that Sun Wei was beaten because of her, she has been coming home more often.

Moreover, they don't see their own noses as noses or their own eyes as eyes.

This made Liu Cuifang feel resentful, and she often couldn't eat or sleep well, which led to her losing weight.

"Mom made chicken soup, drink more."

The village chief's wife doted on her youngest daughter the most. After all, her son had grown up, married, and forgotten his mother, so her daughter was much more considerate.

"It smells so good!"

Liu Cuifang was in a good mood and her appetite improved after returning to her parents' home.

In the following period, Wei Yuyan visited Xiuhua's house, Guihua's house, and Zhang's house in turn.

They finally had a two-week break, and they spent it at home warming themselves by the fire and relaxing.

Wei Yuyan taught them how to play cards, specifically modern-style word cards, which Sister-in-law Xiuhua loved the most.

If Wei Yuyan doesn't go for a day, Sister-in-law Xiuhua will call Sister-in-law Zhang to come knocking on her door.

"Hey, where's your Wu Chen? Why isn't he home?"

Li Fu came along today too, planning to invite Wu Chen to go hunting in town.

But Wu Chen was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know. They've been disappearing and coming out of nowhere these past few days. I don't know what they've been up to."

Wei Yuyan was enthusiastically teaching her two sisters-in-law how to play cards.

The next day~

"Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."

Wei Yuyan was sweeping the front yard when Sister-in-law Xiuhua came over mysteriously.

"What's up?".

Wei Yuyan found Xiuhua's gossipy manner somewhat amusing.

"Is your Wu Chen home?"

Sister-in-law Xiuhua looked around the yard.

"He's at home. He seemed to have come back very late last night and hasn't gotten up yet. He usually doesn't sleep in."

Wei Yuyan cooked breakfast in the morning. The two naughty kids ate and then ran outside. After her sister and brother-in-law finished eating, they also went out to take the kids out for a walk.

"You know what? This morning, as soon as I went out, I heard that Liu Dong had been beaten up. He was bruised and swollen, and his hand was broken."

Most importantly, they stripped him of his clothes and tied him to a tree. He was freezing cold all night and wasn't discovered until the morning.

Dr. Qian said to send it to the town, but we don't know if it's dead or not.

Xiuhua's gestures were quite impressive, which surprised Wei Yuyan.

"Such a thing happened? Did he act like a hooligan again and get beaten up?"

Wei Yuyan continued sweeping. Liu Dong was the kind of person who couldn't change his ways; he must have offended someone again.

"I suspect it was your husband who did it. Liu Dong was originally married into another family outside the area."

I just came back to visit my parents yesterday, and this happened. I'm afraid it's too late to offend anyone.

Xiuhua's sister-in-law closed the door and whispered her thoughts.

"Huh? Him? No way, he doesn't know about this. I didn't tell him. Could it be that Xiao Lei told him?"

Wei Yuyan was somewhat incredulous; could it really be Wu Chen?

After Sister-in-law Xiuhua left, Wei Yuyan thought about this while picking vegetables...

"What are you thinking about? Why did you throw away the vegetable leaves?"

Wu Chen's sudden remark startled Wei Yuyan.

"Oh? It really is. Oh dear."

Wei Yuyan then realized that she had picked all the vegetable leaves and thrown them away, leaving the vegetable stems in the basin.

"Let me do it, the water's cold, I'll wash it."

Wu Chen took the vegetables from Wei Yuyan and started washing them.

"I heard something this morning, Liu Dong, do you know about it?"

Wei Yuyan didn't know if Wu Chen was responsible, and planned to ask him about it slowly.

"I know."

Wu Chen paused for a moment, then continued washing the vegetables.

“He was beaten up, and Sister-in-law Xiuhua suspects… suspects… that you were the one who beat him up.”

Wei Yuyan finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

"It was me, I did it."

Wu Chen stopped what he was doing and answered Wei Yuyan's question seriously.
