As soon as the sun sets, the sky becomes as black as if it had been dyed with ink.
On the dinner table, several simple farm-style dishes were eaten clean, and the bowls and chopsticks were empty.
As soon as she put down her chopsticks, Yu Xiangcao quickly stood up, reached for the dishes on the table, and said, "Mom, I'll wash the dishes."
Pan Cuilian quickly reached out, smiling as she snatched the bowl and chopsticks from her daughter's hands, and scolded, "Xiangcao, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, so don't do these kinds of chores."
"We should wait until you're fully recovered before we start doing anything."
Yu Xiangcao shook her head and said with a smile, "Mom, it's just washing dishes and chopsticks, it's not like carrying heavy bags, it's not that delicate."
When I was at my in-laws' house, I was always busy, so this little thing was nothing.
Thinking about her days at her husband's family home, she couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment.
The Zhang family mother and son wished she could work 24 hours a day.
Pan Cuilian looked at her daughter with heartache, her eyes reddening slightly. "How can that be the same? You can rest and recover at home."
"If you want to work, you'll have to wait until you're fully recovered."
At this moment, Yu Chengyuan also chimed in, "Big sister, didn't you buy some things today and say you were going to see Sister Chunyan? Hurry up and go."
If you arrive too late, the residents might already be asleep.
"My older brother and I have our bowls and chopsticks here."
Yu Chengyuan understood that his mother felt guilty and sorry for his eldest sister from the bottom of her heart, and wished she could not let her do anything.
Yu Pingan chimed in, "Big sister, you should go quickly!"
Chunyan is probably eagerly waiting for you to come!
She'll be so happy to see you visit her.
Yu Xiangcao nodded after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll go see Chunyan."
"Mom, we have a deal. Once I'm healed, you can't take my work away from me."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house, picked up the things he had bought, and went out with light steps.
Watching her daughter's retreating figure, Pan Cuilian turned to her husband, Yu Dazhu, and said, "Honey, look at Xiangcao. She's only been here a few days, but she's already much more energetic than when she first came back. She'll definitely get better and better in the future."
Yu Dazhu grinned and nodded, "Of course, I think her complexion is rosy, and she seems to be in a good mood."
Yu Chengyuan smiled and chimed in, "Father and Mother, you can rest assured. Once my eldest sister recovers, she'll be just as lively and energetic as before."
"You brat!" Yu Dazhu suddenly remembered what happened during the day and smacked Yu Chengyuan on the head. "You've caused me trouble again today. Can't you just stay quiet and not provoke that family?"
Yu Chengyuan covered his head, looking completely innocent. "Dad, why did you hit my head?"
Aren't you afraid of making me stupid?
What did I do to offend them?
I'm telling the truth. We didn't touch a single penny of the fifty yuan dowry my eldest sister gave us. We have to ask Wang Shi for it back!
He knew perfectly well what was going on; he was just deliberately trying to annoy them.
The Wang family is not without responsibility for the suffering that the eldest sister endured in her husband's family.
Yu Dazhu snorted, "You think you're right!"
Let it go this time, but don't go again next time.
Let's just live our own lives and not get entangled with them.
Yu Dazhu understood that his son wanted to avenge his older sister.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Yu Chengyuan pondered whether to take the opportunity to persuade them not to propose marriage to Hao Xiaohe to his elder brother.
Yu Dazhu glanced at his son and said, "You kid, just say what you want to say, don't be so secretive."
“I think this marriage proposal for my elder brother is not very reliable. Why don’t we ask Aunt Zhou to say that the girl is not suitable for my elder brother and cancel the marriage proposal?”
"Anyway, the betrothal hasn't been formalized yet, there's still time!"
Yu Chengyuan thought to himself, "If I could explain things to them right now, that would be perfect."
Otherwise, if things really escalate, Aunt Zhou won't look good either, since Hao Xiaohe is her family member.
Pan Cuilian immediately became anxious upon hearing this, "What's wrong with you, child?"
Why can't Xiaohe be your sister-in-law?
Aside from having a big appetite, there's nothing wrong with me!
Pan Cuilian really couldn't understand why her youngest son always looked down on his future sister-in-law.
Yu Dazhu chimed in, "Second brother, your eldest brother hasn't said anything, why are you worrying about this?"
It's not like I'm finding you a wife, so don't get involved.
Alright, stop worrying about your older brother's wedding. Go check on Uncle Li and see if your bed is ready.
"Once you've finished the job, bring your wife and daughter back. That way you won't be worrying about this all the time."
Yu Chengyuan sighed helplessly and turned his gaze to his elder brother, "Brother, do you also like Xiao He?"
Yu Pingan scratched his head and said honestly, "If my parents have no objections, then I have no objections either."
Marriage is about living together in the future. As long as the wife is virtuous, gentle, and the family lives in harmony, that's enough.
He had never been in a relationship, but he knew that when people reached a certain age, everyone would get married and have children.
Yu Chengyuan, unwilling to give up, continued, "Father, Mother, elder brother, what if Hao Xiaohe has a lover outside?"
"Are you still willing to let her into our home?"
Upon hearing this, Pan Cuilian's expression changed. "Chengyuan, you can't say things like that! It's no small matter to ruin a young lady's reputation!"
Yu Dazhu also became serious, "Second brother, you can't just spout nonsense if you didn't see it with your own eyes."
Yu Pingan looked at his younger brother, knowing full well that his brother wasn't the type to make things up without reason. "Chengyuan, are you telling the truth?"
Yu Chengyuan nodded hurriedly, "Father, Mother, elder brother, what I said is absolutely true."
My brother and I have such a good relationship, how could I not hope that he will marry a good wife!
