As soon as Zhu Cuilan came back, Yang Chunxiao's body, which had finally relaxed, became tense again. He huddled awkwardly behind Yang Donghu and the old lady, calling them "Auntie" in a dry voice.

Zhu Cuilan usually speaks and acts carelessly, saying whatever she wants and being kind to the old lady, but she still feels something is wrong when she sees Yang Chunxiao.

Although the Yang family has no time to take care of her, she still has a wicked mother-in-law like Liu Youlian and a demanding husband's family. If she is involved with Yang Donghu for too long, she will probably be implicated.

Yang Donghu had been in contact with Zhu Cuilan for a long time, and he could tell what she was thinking and understood that she was doing it for his own good. However, Yang Chunxiao had helped him a lot, and now that she had nowhere to go, he could not just leave her alone.

He didn't want to say too much in front of Yang Chunxiao, for fear that she would feel bad if he said too much. So he told Zhu Cuilan what happened that day, focusing on the areas where Yang Chunxiao helped a lot.

Although Zhu Cuilan had a bad impression of the Yang family because of Yang Chunxue and Wang Dujuan, after listening to what Yang Donghu said, she knew that Yang Chunxiao was not a bad person, so she didn't say anything more.

Yang Donghu knew that Zhu Cuilan was soft-hearted, so he briefly told her about Yang Chunxiao's past experiences. Such words were more effective than any good words. The old lady also echoed him, which made Zhu Cuilan even softer-hearted.

The bruises on Yang Chunxiao's body have not completely faded yet. Although they were left at the Yang family, they are no different from the beatings she received at her husband's family. In fact, Liu Youlian would not care about her face and would hit her harder.

Zhu Cuilan was lucky. Although her parents favored her younger brother when she was at her parents' home, she was still well fed and loved. After she married Zhao He, she never had to suffer any bullying. Her parents-in-law died early, so there were no conflicts. Her children were also obedient and did not talk back or act unfilially. Even her sister-in-law Xu Lianyi was a rare good friend.

Zhu Cuilan lived a smooth life, but not every household in the village was so harmonious. She was always frightened when she heard that someone's family was in chaos, not to mention seeing the crisscrossing wounds. She couldn't bear to look away.

Living in the village, she had seen too many girls and boys being beaten. In the eyes of men, they were just tools for giving birth to children, and the most important thing was to be able to pass on the family line smoothly.

The less capable a man is, the harder he hits. Zhu Cuilan vaguely remembered that when Zhao Fangchu was still a child, a family in the village gave birth to a boy. It was supposed to be a happy occasion, but the man of that family disliked the fact that it was not a boy, and his wife was severely beaten the day after giving birth.

Zhu Cuilan had seen that baby before. It had small hands and feet, but big eyes, and looked very cute.

The man's wife was beaten, but she endured it without saying a word, thinking that this would make her husband calm down. After all, the child was his own flesh and blood, so he couldn't kill her.

But I don’t know if the child knew that he was born unloved. Once when the family was lying in bed for a nap, the man turned over and pressed the child under him. He was sleeping so soundly that the child was suffocated to death without even crying.

When the mother went to pick up the child, she was completely crazy and refused to let anyone take the child away. The man felt no guilt at all and was even a little relieved that he didn't have to worry about raising a burden that he didn't like.

The child had not even had time to be named, and was reincarnated again just three months after coming into the world. This was considered an unexpected death and he was not allowed to be buried or mourned. The man took advantage of the situation and wrapped the child in rags and threw him at the bottom of a dry river. It is unknown whether the child turned into bones or was taken away by a wild beast.

The child's mother went crazy from then on and wandered around the village. A few days after the child was abandoned, she slipped and fell into the lake and died.

Karma has its cycles. The man brought disaster upon himself because of his evil deeds. In the end, his family died in unrest. Superstitious people said that the child died with a grudge and came to seek revenge.

Zhu Cuilan didn't really believe in ghosts and gods, but she believed in karma. Perhaps because she had a son who was about to get married, Zhu Cuilan always felt pity for women who didn't live well in their husband's family, and was also worried that such a thing would happen to her son.

Her eyes softened as she looked at Yang Chunxiao. They were all pitiful people, so why should women make things difficult for other women?

Just when she came back, her family was waiting for her and had not yet eaten. She was a restless person, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and went into the kitchen.

Yang Donghu couldn't stop him. His foot injury had not healed yet and Zhu Cuilan didn't want him to go into the kitchen at all. Zhao Fangchu was much more active than before. He went into the kitchen with his mother to show off to her the new dishes he had just learned from Yang Chunxiao today.

Zhao Fangchu no longer knows nothing like before, and Zhu Cuilan feels relieved. No matter how spoiled her brother is at home, he will have to learn everything when he goes to another family in the future. Instead of suffering at that time, it is better to teach him well at home.

She was soft-hearted and didn't want the boy to do anything, and having others teach her saved her the trouble. It was a good way to kill two birds with one stone, so she had no reluctance.

After returning home and seeing it with her own eyes, Zhu Cuilan finally felt relieved. She no longer felt the anxious and impatient feeling she had at her parents' home. It is said that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as one's own doghouse. Zhu Cuilan's parents were kind and treated her very well. She had only been away for a few days, but they had been eating meat all the time. However, even so, Zhu Cuilan still felt that it was not as comfortable as living at home.

Now that there are more people around, it's more lively, and she has just started cooking with more enthusiasm. She has cooked no less than three kinds of seasonal vegetables from the vegetable garden alone. When she came back, Zhu Jiashun brought her a lot of cured meat. Zhu Cuilan took two cured pork ribs and added dried bamboo shoots, stewing the soup until it was milky white, and it was extremely delicious.

Braised duck with wine lees was a new delicacy, and it was also the first time for Zhu Cuilan to eat it. Since everyone had already eaten at noon, she did not fight with the other two for it.

The duck tasted sweet, fragrant and soft in the mouth. Zhu Cuilan couldn't stop praising Yang Anchen while eating it, and even mentioned Yang Anjin again.

Zhu Cuilan saw the two good things and waited for them in her heart, as Yunqiao and Cheng were getting married. If Yang Anjin could be married home early, the family would not have to worry about having more children and more blessings. The wedding date was set for the seventh day of March next year, and the furniture had not been prepared yet.

Things have been a bit restless lately, and it seems like there's always something to do at home. Now that I finally have some peace and quiet, it's time to put this matter on the agenda, otherwise I'll be in a rush and make people unhappy.

As soon as Zhu Cuilan mentioned it, Zhao Luochuan remembered that he had sent the marriage certificate to Yang Donghu. It was not possible to just talk about getting married without doing anything for a long time. Anyway, he had been delayed at home for a long time, and tomorrow would not be a big deal. He should go to the carpenter's house to see how the work was going.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is not a good time to make a big move during the hot summer. Wait until the beginning of autumn when the weather cools down and find a good day to get the thing done. It will also let others see that your husband is also someone who is keeping a close eye on him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Luochuan looked at Yang Donghu who was sitting beside him, his eyes full of tenderness. Seeing that the soup in his bowl was almost finished, the hot weather couldn't resist the deliciousness of the soup. Seeing that her husband liked to drink it, she picked up the spoon and added another bowl for Yang Donghu.
