A small boat glides across the rippling blue water. Outside the window, the crescent moon disappears behind dark clouds, shrouded in mist. The man on top of her leans down, his voice hoarse and breathless as he whispers in her ear, "Wife, you mustn't leave me..."
Ye Yun was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.
A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead, and her mind seemed shrouded in mist as she gazed at the man on top of her through the moonlight, her eyes filled with confusion.
Strange, why would anyone ask that...?
——
The next day, early morning.
Ye Yun had just gotten up and gone out to wash her face when she saw Lao Si standing upright at the gate of the fence, hands on his hips.
Oh, staring unfriendly down the slope.
She followed the gaze and looked.
Wow.
That shameless guy is at it again.
"Who is this person? They're like a persistent ghost." The fourth brother scoffed disdainfully, then turned his head and saw Ye Yun. He grinned and scratched the back of his head, greeting her sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, you're awake."
Ye Yun nodded.
The fourth brother hurriedly walked into the yard and explained loudly, "My brother went up the mountain early this morning, and my mother went to sell mung bean cakes. You wash your face first. Breakfast is still warming in the pot. I'll go get it for you."
The young man is really helpful.
Ye Yun was about to refuse when she saw that the fourth brother had already quickly prepared the water for washing her face.
As if afraid that Ye Yun was afraid of the cold, he scooped up two ladles of cold water and then picked up the kettle to add some hot water before letting Ye Yun come over to wash.
Ye Yun tilted her head and looked at him curiously.
The fourth brother grinned, "My brother told me to add some hot water to your wash water because you're sensitive to cold. Sister-in-law, you're practically a first-class protected animal in our family now."
Ye Yun blushed. "Thank you for your trouble."
"No trouble at all, we're all family." The fourth brother waved his hand repeatedly. "Sister-in-law, you wash your face first, I'll go get the food."
After saying that, the fourth brother scurried off.
The lid of the large pot was lifted, and the aroma of rice porridge wafted out, filling the air with a rich, sweet fragrance.
Ye Yun then washed her face.
While washing her face, she saw Li Xiuying standing on tiptoe looking at her several times.
She pretended not to see it.
After washing my face, I sat down at the table to eat.
I cracked an egg, peeled it, ate half of it directly, and put the other half into the porridge, mashed it with a spoon, and mixed it with the rice porridge.
The air in the mountains was fresh, and it was early morning. The sweet aroma of white porridge wafted clearly in the air, causing Li Xiuying, who was sitting on the slope, to sniff and involuntarily swallow.
"What's going on down there?" Ye Yun asked calmly.
Upon hearing this, the fourth brother glanced down the slope and immediately clicked his tongue in disgust, "Sister-in-law, don't even mention it, they've been here since early this morning."
"oh?"
The fourth brother glanced at Li Xiuying and told Ye Yun about the commotion he had overheard from the neighbors.
turn out to be.
Yesterday, Li Xiuying was turned away at Lao Qin's house and almost got bitten by a dog. She had originally planned to wait at the door.
She's shameless; if Qin Zheng won't let her in, she'll pester him until he lets her in.
But as soon as it got dark, the temperature suddenly dropped, and she couldn't stand it wearing a thin jacket. After Qin Zheng turned off the lights, seeing that there was no hope, she picked up the basket on the ground and slunk away to Old Guo's house in the village.
As for the Guo family and their entire clan.
Sigh, when Li Xiuying first went back, her two daughters-in-law gave her the cold shoulder.
But she's shameless.
When her eldest son's wife glared at her and her second son's wife complained to her, she put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and said, "What? You want to kick me out again? Don't forget, my son Qin Zheng is back! You dare to kick me out again, just try it!"
Upon hearing Qin Zheng's name, the eldest and second sons' wives indeed showed their fear.
The two daughters-in-law shrank back, frozen in place, staring directly at Li Xiuying. It was the eldest son who came over and took her away, coldly telling Li Xiuying to do as she pleased.
Li Xiuying was also shameless; she grabbed a bowl of porridge from the side and shoveled it into her mouth.
The second son's wife burst into tears.
"That's my porridge! I've been starving all night, my home is gone, and my baby has no milk to nurse. I was just hoping for a bowl of plain porridge to help me recover. You old geezer, you've really done something terrible!"
The second brother was a passionate man; in a fit of anger, he grabbed a weapon and wanted to attack Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying shoved her head forward and said the same thing again: "I have my son Qin Zheng backing me up. You dare to touch me!"
Upon hearing this, Guo the eldest stopped the second eldest in time.
Guo Lao Er was so angry that he trembled all over, his eyes were red, and he wished he could burn Li Xiuying to death with his eyes.
But she couldn't touch a single hair on Li Xiuying's head.
Seeing that the Guo family really didn't dare to touch her, Li Xiuying became even more arrogant. She clapped her hands triumphantly and made a threatening statement, saying sarcastically, "Now you know how powerful I am? You whole family of heartless bastards, let's see if you dare to bully me again!"
Guo Lao Er was furious.
Turning his head, he saw his crying wife and his young son crying loudly from hunger in his arms.
He threw down the hoe he was holding.
He grabbed the only hen left in the house, which had run to his legs, and snapped its neck with a snap.
The poor old hen didn't even have time to flap her wings a few times before she fell silent.
When Guo Lao Er snapped the chicken's neck, his eyes were bloodshot and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Li Xiuying.
Only then did Li Xiuying realize she was scared. Her face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly threw away the porridge she had only half-eaten and ran into the house without looking back.
The door was locked tightly with a loud bang.
Old Guo drank the last half bowl of congee.
Everyone else disliked it, even the second son's wife disliked the porridge that Li Xiuying had eaten.
Old Guo, while drinking the remaining half bowl of white porridge, felt heartbroken over the dead chicken. He patted his chest in anguish and cursed Guo Lao Er: "You good-for-nothing! You were counting on this old hen to eat with rice and nourish the child's mother. Why did you kill it?!"
