Chapter 22 I was young and ignorant at that time, and I was brave and alone



Widow Liang was not an easy person to get along with when she was young. Later, her husband died and her only daughter got married.

In addition, there were many gossips about the widow, as she often spread rumors among others. As a result, her only daughter had not been in contact with her for many years.

Now her temper has become more and more reckless. Whenever she sees something exciting happening, she will be the first to rush over to watch. If anyone provokes her, she will run to your house and act like a rogue, and then take advantage of them.

If it were someone else, Li Dazui would have rolled up her sleeves and started fighting, but when she met a barefoot person like this, she had to hold back the swear words that were on the tip of her tongue.

It's not because I'm afraid of her, but I feel it's such a shame to be blackmailed by such a person.

Tian Er's wife, Ma Zhaodi, was afraid that the two of them would really start fighting, so she hurriedly urged Aunt Dagen, "Aren't you going to tell me about what happened between Zhang Guilan and Yao Caiying yesterday? Hurry up and tell me."

The flowers that I waited for have all withered.

Everyone's attention was focused on Aunt Dazhu again, and she then narrated what happened yesterday in a vivid and emotional manner.

In fact, when she came back yesterday, the two of them had already finished fighting, but she was able to get everyone to gather around her and listen to her speech. She enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, so many details of the fight were exaggerated by her.

After hearing her words, those in the crowd who had grudges against the two of them secretly laughed, feeling that they had let out a sigh of relief.

After that, everyone went back to their own fields to continue harvesting rice.

When Widow Liang left, she did not forget to hug the rice that other people had harvested and bring it to her own field. This person was used to being greedy for small profits, so when everyone saw it, they pretended not to see it. It was really a big Buddha that no one could afford to offend.

Yang Liu chopped the meat she bought yesterday into a paste at home, then cut the chives into small pieces, mixed them together in a bowl, added seasonings, and fried the stuffing in a pan.

The dumpling wrappers started to rise in the morning and now look puffed up. Since she wanted to make more dumplings this time, she used cornmeal all over. However, since there is meat in the filling, I believe it will taste good even if it is made of cornmeal.

After the dumplings were wrapped, she first cooked a large pot of them. She also took a plate of pig intestines that had been braised yesterday, put them in a basket, and went to her second uncle's house.

Her second uncle's house was built first, so it was at the west end of the village, some distance away from their house, with several houses in between.

When she arrived, she saw that the yard door was open and Yang Nan was chopping pig grass in the house.

"Big sister."

Yang Nan turned around and saw her. She smiled brightly, put down the kitchen knife in her hand, and came over. She hurriedly pulled her arm and asked, "How is your injury? My grandma is sick. I went to Yaojiagou for the past two days and only came back yesterday. I heard from Zhizhi that you rolled down the mountain."

"Hey, don't listen to them making a fuss. I just had some scratches on my body, and it's almost healed now." Yang Liu said nonchalantly.

I thought to myself that good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

"By the way, I made some dumplings for you. I also made some braised pork intestines. I made them all. Come and try my cooking."

Yang Nan took the basin from her hand, opened the lid and smelled it, "It smells so good, it must be delicious."

"Big sister is good at coaxing people."

As she said that, she took the dumplings in and put them away. Yang Liu spoke to her a few more words and was about to leave when she stopped him again. She seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Yang Liu asked, "Big sister, what's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just tell me. Do we have any secrets?"

Yang Nan lowered her head, looking shy, and then she stammered, "After the busy farming season is over, my second aunt is going to bring her nephew to visit us. I'm a little scared, so I want you to come and accompany me."

The elder sister was one year older than her. She had been engaged before and had received the betrothal gifts. Then, when the parents of both parties met, the man’s mother saw her and actually disdained her, saying that she had a small butt and could not give birth to a son. Later, she changed her mind.

Although this era is not as feudal as the ancient times, a woman's reputation will still be affected to some extent if her engagement is broken off.

When her second aunt heard the ridiculous excuse given by that family for canceling the engagement, she was so angry that she ran to the family's door the next day and blocked the old woman's door and scolded her for the whole day.

This marriage was introduced by my eldest sister's second aunt. The man was her nephew from her natal family. They had met each other several times before when they visited my second aunt's house.

Now that it has come to the point of coming to the door, it means that this marriage is probably a sure thing.

I heard that the man worked in the town’s steel factory and was recently promoted to team leader.

He has two older sisters, but they are both married. His parents were also old employees of the factory and are now retired.

When Yao Caiying heard what her sister-in-law said, she was quite satisfied. She had also met the young man a few times before and he looked quite handsome.

When choosing a son-in-law, she doesn't need the boy's family to be well-off. She only needs a boy who is down-to-earth, has no troubles at home, and whose parents are reasonable.

So the matter is probably settled, and now it’s just a matter of going through the formalities.

"Really? Then I'd like to congratulate you in advance, big sis."

Yang Nan tugged at her arm and said angrily, "We're still just dating, and the date hasn't been set yet. How can it be so fast?"

"Don't worry, big sister. Second Aunt will help you check. Besides, he's your second aunt's nephew. Everyone knows him well. I'm sure his character can be guaranteed."

Yang Nan nodded.

"But I'm still a little nervous," she sighed heavily, "I wish I had the same courage as you."

From childhood to adulthood, everything for her was arranged by others, and she still doesn't know what she really wants.

Unlike Yang Liu, who is bold and opinionated.

At first, she fell in love with Chu Yue, who came from the countryside, and treated him wholeheartedly regardless of other people's mocking looks. In the end, her hard work paid off and she finally got him.

Although everyone says that she is not reserved at all as a woman, she feels that she is very brave and can take decisive action when she meets someone she likes.

In this way, there will be no regrets in the future.

Yang Liu was somewhat helpless when she saw her heroic deeds being brought up. She waved her hand and said, "Big sister, please don't try to imitate me. I was just young and ignorant back then, and I was brave and alone."

The original owner was a love-brained person. When he pursued Chu Yue in the village, he caused quite a stir.

Seeing that she was talking nonsense again, Yang Nan reached out and pinched her little face, smiling and said, "No, you don't know how much I admire you. Originally, the two of you were completely unrelated, but after your unremitting efforts, you ended up marrying him. Don't you think it's amazing?"

Yang Liu wanted to say no.
