Early the next morning, Feng Yun took Hu Chunhua and Hu Guangcong to drive the village's ox cart.
The oxcart goes to town every morning and comes back around ten o'clock.
When Feng Yun and his companions arrived at the village entrance, Uncle Chunrong, who was driving the cart, had just raised his whip when Feng Yun quickly called out to him.
"Uncle Chunrong, wait for me."
Niu Chunrong stopped the ox cart and said, "Feng Yun, you have to go out today."
Feng Yun took Chunhua and Guangcong and walked a few quick steps. "Yes, we have something to do in town."
There were already several women of Feng Yun's generation on the ox cart. When they saw Feng Yun carrying so many bags, they couldn't help but make fun of him.
"Feng Yun, where are you going to take so many things?"
Everyone in the village knew that Feng Yun had a disagreement with her mother's family, so no one thought Feng Yun was going back to her mother's family.
Xue Fengying glanced at Hu Chunhua, surprise in her eyes, "Are you going to see Chunhua?"
Don't blame her for thinking that.
Hu Chunhua was wearing the new clothes and hair ornaments that Zhangqiu had made for Feng Yun in the past few days. She had cold cream on her face and her two long braids hung down in front of her chest. She looked both fragrant and pretty.
Who wouldn't be suspicious when a girl from the countryside suddenly dresses like this?
However, the children in the Hu family are all good-looking, the girls are pretty and the boys are handsome.
When Hu Chunhua heard her aunt say this, her face turned red and she became at a loss.
Feng Yun held her hand and said to Xue Fengying, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are so careless that you even made my daughter embarrassed."
Xue Fengying rolled her eyes at Feng Yun and said, "Feng Yun, you should find a husband for Chunhua. She's already grown up. If she doesn't find a partner soon, who will want her when the time comes?"
It was originally a normal thing to say, but Feng Yun felt uncomfortable when she heard it.
She snorted, "Of course I know, I won't let you worry about it."
Another woman, Zhou Guiping, looked at Hu Chunhua with a gleam in her eyes. She took Hu Chunhua's hand and smiled, "I didn't realize Chunhua was so pretty before. If a man saw this, I wonder how wonderful he would be."
Hu Chunhua was not familiar with Zhou Guiping. Zhou Guiping had a bad reputation and was said to have no moral integrity in supporting his mother's family. He was often beaten at home.
She likes to gather gossip everywhere and then spread it. As time goes by, things are often exaggerated and ruin the reputation of many people.
The villagers didn't like her very much either.
Hu Chunhua pulled back her hand and said awkwardly, "No, no."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Guiping pulled Hu Chunhua back and said, "Auntie is telling the truth, please don't be embarrassed."
Feng Yun slapped her hand in anger and freed Hu Chunhua's hand. "Okay, shut up. Can't you see that my Chunhua doesn't want to pay attention to you?"
Feng Yun knew Zhou Guiping.
She is a confused person. She has devoted her whole life to her mother's family. But her nephew is a useless piece of mud. He has not found a wife at the age of 25, and finally he sets his sights on her daughter.
It is not uncommon for cousins to marry in rural areas, so when the Zhou family proposed this, Zhou Guiping agreed without thinking.
But her daughter Hu Rong was a strong-willed person. She would rather die than obey and eventually jumped into the river and died.
When this incident came to light, she even scolded her own daughter for being confused because of the Zhou family, and tried her best to shirk the Zhou family's responsibility, which made her husband extremely disappointed and he decided to divorce her.
Only then did she realize she was scared, and she went through the same routine of crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to hang herself, but her husband was determined not to live with her anymore, so she could only go back in disgrace.
Not long after, she was married to a widowed man by the Zhou family and became a stepmother.
Later she begged to come back, saying that she knew she was wrong, but unfortunately, her family, from the old to the young, refused to accept her, so she had to leave.
Feng Yun didn't know what happened in the end.
Seeing how enthusiastic she was towards Chunhua, Feng Yun had a bad suspicion in his mind.
Could it be that she has set her sights on Chunhua and wants her to marry her nephew from her mother's side?
She is really dreaming about her life.
Feng Yun scolded her angrily, "Zhou Guiping, if you dare to have any ideas about my Chunhua, I will never let you go!"
Zhou Guiping was an unreasonable person to begin with, and his expression immediately changed when his secrets were exposed.
"Oh, you're still not done with me. Your daughter is already an old maid, and you think she's worth anything. Nowadays, every man doesn't like young and beautiful women. An old favorite like Chunhua is just waiting to be picked, and you picked her! Aren't you afraid that if you keep her around, you'll end up making enemies, bah!"
Feng Yun took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves, picked up Zhou Guiping and threw him down.
"Feng Yun, what are you doing! How dare you abandon me!"
Zhou Guiping was thrown to the ground and his butt almost broke in two.
The ox cart didn't stop. Feng Yun said to Niu Chunrong, "Uncle Chunrong, I'll make up for the five cents you're short of today. Please don't stop the car, or we might get into a fight and damage your cart."
Niu Chunrong is not from this village.
He used to live in a cowshed and took care of the two buffaloes in the village. Later, he was rehabilitated and wanted to be taken back by the cow family, but he was unwilling to do so and stayed in Lishu Village to continue taking care of the village cows.
He is not easy to mess with, and people in the village generally don't mess with him.
Hearing Feng Yun's words, he couldn't help laughing. "Come on, five cents isn't enough. I heard you're a great salad cook. Why don't you give me a plate of salad cucumber tomorrow?"
"That's great." Feng Yun said cheerfully, "I'll give you two plates."
"Okay."
Seeing the ox cart gradually going away, Zhou Guiping was so angry that he pointed at Feng Yun and cursed him.
"Feng Yun, you crazy woman! Did I dig up your ancestral graves or steal your money? You just keep spewing shit! Your man must have been unlucky for eight generations to marry a she-devil like you. Why doesn't the King of Hell take you away?"
Feng Yun said slowly, "Don't worry, even if the King of Hell takes you, he won't take me."
The ox cart went away, and Zhou Guiping could only walk towards the town with the basket on his shoulder, cursing.
Qian Meixia chuckled, "Feng Yun, I've heard that you've been quite aggressive these days. I didn't expect that you've been as aggressive as you were back then. You even dared to mess with Zhou Guiping."
Feng Yun brushed the hair away from her ear and said, "What's so fierce about it? It's just to protect her child."
Xue Fengying nodded, "Zhou Guiping's expression almost shows that she has a crush on Chunhua. I guess you are right. She just wants to find a wife for her nephew.
How can there be such a confused person in this world? She doesn't treat her own man and children well, but treats her brother and nephew from her mother's side well instead. "
Feng Yun subconsciously glanced at Hu Chunhua.
Although Chunhua in her previous life was not as aggressive as Zhou Guiping, she would give in without hesitation as long as her younger brothers acted unreasonably.
Hu Chunhua looked at Feng Yun blankly, "What's wrong?"
Feng Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing. Your Aunt Xue is right. How can a woman treat her husband and children badly, but treat her brother and nephew well? Isn't that a mistake? You give everything for your mother's family, but what good will you get in the end? Your brother and nephew will not take care of you in your old age."
