Chapter 16 You Can't Control It
Yu Yaoyue entered the house carrying a small basin filled with locust flowers picked from the tree.
Rutang stopped cutting meat with the knife. The freshly sharpened knife reflected a cold light under the light bulb.
"Is this enough?" He put the basin on the stove and stepped back several steps to make sure he was out of the attack range of Rutang's kitchen knife before saying, "You are not going to put rat poison in the food, are you? You are actually coming to my house to kill my whole family, right?"
Yu Yaoyue crossed his hands in front of his chest and was kicked from behind unexpectedly.
"You are so fat and plump, how many pounds of rat poison do you need to drink?" Yu Yaoyang kicked his younger brother. He just got home and heard the boy acting stupidly.
"Don't hit people in the face!" Yu Yaoyue's face turned red and he wanted to run out angrily.
Maybe it’s because Old Yu eats too well, the young man does have a lot of meat, but he’s also quite vain and gets angry with anyone who says he’s fat.
"Xiaoyue is still growing and will lose weight in the future." Rutang spoke for his brother-in-law.
In his previous life, Yu Yaoyue had a bumpy love life because of his body shape. He lost weight when he was in his twenties. After losing weight, he looked very much like his brother and was also a handsome guy.
"There's no need for you to pretend. I'm running away from home!" Yu Yaoyue pretended to leave.
"Get out of here quickly and close the door when you go out...Are you making buns?" Yu Yaoyang glanced at the chopping board and saw that the meat filling had already been chopped.
"Hot buns with locust flower filling. It's too late today. It's too late to leaven the dough."
"The little fat boy seems to like hot noodles the most. Oh, I forgot he is going to run away from home, let's go." Yu Yaoyang waved his hand.
Yu Yaoyue pulled a small stool over, crossed his legs, raised his fat face to look at Rutang, and put on a self-proclaimed cold smile: "Young master, I'm not leaving! I have to taste whether there is rat poison in her buns!"
"Seeing your face showing off?" Yu Yaoyang kicked over his brother's bench and saw him sitting on the ground laughing.
Seeing her two sons being so naughty, Xiao Li's temples were buzzing. She took out a wooden board to help roll out the dough, and complained to Ru Tang, "I don't know how I gave birth to a pair of idiots. They make a fuss at home every day. They almost blew the roof off the house."
"Brothers getting along is a good thing. Yaoyang likes Xiaoyue very much, and Xiaoyue also misses her brother very much. How wonderful."
As soon as Rutang finished speaking, the two brothers who were still scratching each other stopped at the same time.
Yu Yaoyang's neck was covered with goose bumps.
Yu Yaoyue's face turned red and he rubbed his arms frantically.
"Who cares about him?"
"I don't like it!" The two brothers looked at each other and looked away, disgusted!
Xiao Li ignored the noisy boys and secretly observed Rutang, who was working with ease, quickly but not chaotically.
After blanching the locust flowers and preparing the stuffing, I brought it to Xiao Li and let her smell it. It was so fragrant.
Xiao Li wanted to join in wrapping, but Rutang didn't give her the chance. Before Xiao Li finished one, she had finished wrapping all three. The ten folds were evenly spaced and of the same size, exactly eighteen in number, not more, not less, like chrysanthemum petals, and very beautiful.
The buns were put into the pot. Rutang took off his rice bag and smiled at Xiao Li, "Aunt, it's getting late. I'm going home."
"Eat your meal first." Yu Yaoyang stood up immediately when he heard that she was leaving.
"I still have a lot of vegetables at home. If we don't eat them, they will go bad."
"Then I'll go back with..." Yu Yaoyang wanted to say, go back with you, he was afraid that Rutang would be bullied by Chen Fu when he returned.
"Behave yourself!" Xiao Li stopped her son. His son had a bad temper and if he followed him, he might beat his father-in-law.
Rutang can't stay in the Chen family's den of tigers and wolves for more than a few days. After getting the marriage certificate, she will be a member of the family and the Chen family will not be able to bully her.
"Let Brother Yaoyang take me there, and tell him to come back when he reaches my house." Rutang smiled at Xiaoli, and Xiaoli nodded. Rutang was still sensible.
Yu Yaoyue was watching over the pot. As the heat rose, the aroma of the buns filled his nose. It was so fragrant.
"Mom, do you think she really put rat poison in it? I'll steam it and feed it to the dog to try it out. I'll eat it if the dog is not dead."
"What are you feeding the dog? I think you are a dog, stupid dog!"
Old Yu's family and Old Chen's family lived in the front and back yards, only a few minutes' walk away. Yu Yaoyang watched Rutang enter the yard, and suddenly, she turned back.
"What's wrong?"
“Baji!”
The warm and soft touch fell on my face, like a little butterfly, coming quickly and going quickly.
Before he could savor it, her lips had already moved away from his face.
Yu Yaoyang touched his face and looked at her in surprise.
Under the moonlight, the girl ran away after flirting with him, leaving only her back. The evening breeze brought the fragrance of locust flowers, mixed with her pleasant voice: "You are brave and righteous, and I will reward you."
Yu Yaoyang kept covering his face with his hands. He didn't put them down until she entered the house. He suddenly became excited.
Doing good deeds is rewarded with this kind of treatment?
If there are any good things left in the village, he can do a few more good things!
Rutang ran into the house, and the smile on her face faded when she saw Chen Fu with a sullen face.
"You stupid girl! You still remember to come back? You go out and have fun without getting married, do you still have any shame? Give me your money!" Chen Fu slammed the table. He had been waiting anxiously for the whole afternoon!
Rutang took out the money and handed it over. Chen Fu's angry expression turned into a smile, but after seeing the money, he turned angry again.
Within one second, he completed three difficult facial changes, demonstrating what it means to be blinded by money.
"Why is it just this little?" Chen Fu shook the money in his hand.
38.5 yuan, with both coins and cents! Who is this humiliating?
"Bring my mother back first, and then we can talk about the remaining betrothal money."
Before Chen Fu rushed over, Rutang took out her pocket, anticipating that Chen Fu was going to search her.
She hid the money in advance.
"You stupid girl, where did you hide the money!" When Chen Fu couldn't see the money, he was like a mad beast. He raised his hand to hit her, but Rutang grabbed his wrist and looked straight into his old eyes. Chen Fu was inexplicably frightened by her sharp eyes and he couldn't even put his hand down.
"My mother broke her legs because of you, and she is still at my grandmother's house, and you come to ask me for money? Let me tell you, if you bring my mother back today, you will still be my father, and I will not lose a cent of the betrothal gift. If you can't bring her back, from now on I only have my mother, not my father!"
"You stupid girl! Who told you to talk to me like that! I'm going to beat you...ah!" Chen Fu staggered after being pushed by Ru Tang. He was addicted to domestic violence and would beat Ru Tang and her daughter whenever he had no reason. He never expected that one day she would fight back.
"Try to touch me!" Rutang took out the fruit knife he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and stabbed it on the table, going deep into the wood.
"I think you are crazy!" Chen Fu took two steps back. He had a premonition that if he beat her as usual, this damn girl would really stab her with a knife.
Chen Fu didn't dare to stay. He grabbed the 38.5 yuan she threw on the ground and ran out.
"Bring my mother back!" Rutang shouted at the door.
Chen Fu saw several people standing in the yard of the second aunt's house next door, all watching the fun. Chen Fu's courage, which had been suppressed for a lifetime, rose up and he scolded Rutang: "You think you can control your father? I won't answer it!"
Chen Fu felt that he had regained his face. He held the money in his hand and walked towards the village entrance leisurely.
Why pick up that yellow-faced woman? I have money in my pocket, so let’s play two rounds first!
Rutang looked at his back in silence. It seemed that he was going to gamble again.
A gambler has no family affection in his heart and it is impossible for him to quit gambling.
She gave him the chance to get the bride price, who can he blame for not being able to seize it?
She didn’t know whether God could arrest the gambler, but she knew that the police would.
Forgiving the gambler shouldn't be something she should consider, she has more important things to do now.
