Yu Chengyuan carefully carried his wife Liu Sulan back into the house, his movements as gentle as if he were holding a rare treasure, and gently placed her on the bed.
Then, he picked up the quilt and covered his wife with it. Halfway through, he couldn't help but gently pat her bottom twice.
This slap made Liu Sulan feel both embarrassed and ashamed. Her face flushed red, and she said coquettishly, "How...how could you hit me here?"
Yu Cheng was both furious and heartbroken, and said, "Who told you to be disobedient?"
You're still in your postpartum period! Your health is the foundation of everything. Are you trying to kill yourself?
That's how capricious I am!
Are those villagers really worth risking your life for?
"When I brought you back, my mother-in-law gave me a lot of warnings. If she knew you were like this, she would skin me alive!"
As he spoke, he quickly touched his wife's hand. Thankfully, it wasn't cold, which put his mind at ease.
Liu Sulan realized that she had acted too impulsively and made her husband anxious and angry, so she quickly coaxed him in a slightly coquettish tone: "Okay! Chengyuan, I was wrong!"
I promise I'll never do it again next time, so please don't be angry, okay?
I was in such a rush just now that I didn't think about anything else.
After saying that, she gave her husband a quick kiss on the cheek.
She remembered what her mother had said: sometimes you have to coax a man a little.
Seeing his wife's sincere attitude in admitting her mistake, Yu Chengyuan's anger subsided considerably. He reached out and gently pinched his wife's small, pert nose, saying, "Alright, seeing how sincere you are, I'll forgive you this time."
Don't do that again next time, or I'll make you suffer for three days and three nights when you're better, just to teach you a lesson!
Seeing that her husband was no longer angry, Liu Sulan smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you say, as long as you have enough strength!"
"Alright, you underestimate me. You'll see how powerful I am soon enough."
The couple argued for a while before stopping.
"Chengyuan, I'm not doing this just for the villagers, but mainly for you and our daughter."
Our child has only just been born, and I'm already thinking about accumulating good fortune for her, hoping she can grow up safe and healthy.
Liu Sulan put away her jokes and said in a serious tone.
"If you forgive them this time and give them a chance, I believe they will be very grateful and will not do it again."
Actually, they weren't completely evil people; they were just terrified of poverty and made a mistake for a moment, blinded by human greed. Ultimately, it's only human nature, isn't it?
Yu Chengyuan knew in his heart that the villagers were not truly evil people, and they had all knelt down and begged him. If he did not forgive them, the situation would not be easy to resolve.
Besides, my parents certainly wouldn't want me to go too far.
So he nodded and said, "What my wife said makes sense. We'll listen to you and forgive them this time. Let's consider it as accumulating good fortune for our daughter."
Upon hearing her husband's agreement, Liu Sulan's face immediately lit up with a smile. She turned to look out the window and saw that the villagers were still kneeling outside. She hurriedly urged, "The villagers are still kneeling outside. Hurry up and go out to make them get up!"
Many of these people are quite old; if kneeling causes them health problems, that would be a real problem.
"Okay, I'll go out and say a few words to them, then I'll come back to be with you and the baby."
Yu Chengyuan responded and turned to leave.
When the villagers saw Yu Chengyuan come out, it was like seeing a savior, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When Yu Dazhu saw his son come out, he quickly said, "Chengyuan, please tell the villagers to get up!"
They said they wouldn't get up unless you came out.
"Second brother, quickly get the villagers up!"
Pan Cuilian also anxiously chimed in, expressing her concern that someone might suffer a serious injury while kneeling.
Yu Chengyuan strode to the villagers, personally helped an old man in front of him up, and then said loudly, "Fellow villagers, get up!"
Tomorrow morning, you can bring the vegetables, and I'll collect them the same way as before.
But let me be clear from the start: I definitely need to make money. Otherwise, what's the point of getting up so early every day and working so hard?
Don't accuse me of being unscrupulous and making money off you later.
Everyone should go home and think it over carefully tonight. If you feel you're losing out, you don't have to bring it here to sell; you can pick it up and sell it at the market yourself.
That's all I wanted to say.
The old man standing in front quickly said, "No, this is your hard-earned money, it's what you should do!"
Others chimed in, "Of course, of course..."
"In that case, everyone should go back and rest early!"
"We have to get up early tomorrow, so let's just do what we always do." Yu Chengyuan waved his hand, signaling everyone to go back.
Seeing that the second son of the Yu family had forgiven them and was willing to harvest vegetables as before, everyone was finally relieved and went back home one after another.
"Second brother, you did well. You should be forgiving when you can. You should be more tolerant."
Yu Dazhu looked at his youngest son with a face full of satisfaction.
His proudest achievement in life was marrying a virtuous wife and having two kind and capable sons.
“I knew it, Cheng Yuan would definitely forgive them,” Pan Cuilian said with a smile.
"Father and Mother, you should thank me for marrying such a kind and good wife."
My wife said she wants to accumulate good fortune for our little Tangtang, so that the little one can grow up safe and healthy.
Yu Chengyuan said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, the best thing the second son ever did in his life was marrying a good wife!"
