Chapter 202 Scar on the Arm
Feng Mengru was startled by the sudden voice, and the "candy" that Baoya handed her rolled to the ground.
"Hey! Here it comes!"
She responded hurriedly, picked up Baoya and stuffed her into the closet next to the wooden bed.
"Shh! Sister will be back soon! Just hide for a while and don't say anything." She whispered.
Baoya nodded obediently.
Feng Mengru had just closed the cabinet door when Zhang Xiuer outside pushed the door open and rushed in in a hurry.
"I told you to stay still for so long! We just got married, how can I order you around to do things in the future?"
Zhang Xiuer changed her previous smiling face in front of the guests, and stared at Feng Mengru with a fierce look.
"I'm coming, don't be angry, sister-in-law." Feng Mengru responded good-temperedly.
"Hurry up! Cheng Yong is drunk. It's getting late. Your brother and I have a lot of work to do when we get home. You take care of him by yourself!" Zhang Xiu'er was very impatient.
"Oh." Feng Mengru didn't say much. After agreeing, she went out neatly.
Li Chengyong's courtyard was in a mess. Most of the guests who came to eat had left, leaving Li Chengyong alone slumped over the table.
Li Chengyong was indeed drunk. He was a simple-minded person and would not refuse the wine when others poured it to him. As a result, he got drunk and lay on the table, unable to get up.
Feng Mengru sighed. She originally wanted to move Li Chengyong first, but she was upset when she saw the mess in the yard. So she decided to let Li Chengyong lie on the table for a while while she cleaned up the yard and then moved people in.
Li Chengyong, who was lying on the table drunk and unconscious, had no idea what she was thinking. He even turned over and started snoring...
In the new house, Feng Mengru went to the yard to busy herself, but Zhang Xiuer did not go out. She was searching here and there in Feng Mengru and Li Chengyong's new house, but no one knew what she was looking for.
Baoya hid in the closet, not daring to make a sound.
Fortunately, after Zhang Xiu'er had searched for a while, Feng Mengru had finished cleaning up the yard and helped Li Chengyong in.
Zhang Xiuer quickly withdrew her hand, pretended nothing happened, and walked out with a smile on her face.
Feng Mengru helped Li Chengyong to sleep on the kang, closed the door, and quickly took Baoya out of the cabinet.
Seeing Baoya's rosy face and blinking her watery eyes at him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You sit on this chair for a while and have some snacks. When my sister-in-law leaves, I'll take you home."
Baoya nodded, and seeing her turn around and go back to work, she quickly grabbed her sleeve and said, "Sister Mengru, I just saw Aunt Zhang rummaging through things in this room."
Feng Mengru was stunned for a moment, but she quickly relaxed.
She reached out and touched Baoya's little hair bud, and said gently, "Thank you, sister knows."
"And more," Baoya held onto the corner of her clothes with her little hand, not letting go, her eyes fixed firmly, "My candy..."
Feng Mengru then remembered that the candy Baoya had given her just now seemed to have fallen to the ground when Zhang Xiuer interrupted her.
She knew that it was a thoughtful gesture from a child and she couldn't ignore it, so she said seriously, "Sister, remember, after I finish taking care of your brother Cheng Yong, I'll find that piece of candy and eat it, okay?"
Seeing that she agreed, Baoya nodded with relief.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiuer yelled to go back after staying for a while, and Feng Mengru responded indifferently.
Only after Zhang Xiuer left did Feng Mengru send Baoya out.
She originally wanted to send Baoya to the door of her home, but halfway through, Baoya caught a glimpse of three little heads hiding behind a straw stack, so she asked Feng Mengru to go back.
Feng Mengru didn't force it. She planned to stand there and watch Baoya enter the house, and then return home. Anyway, she could see the Yun family's gate from here.
She watched for a while and saw three children of different heights coming out from behind the straw stack and pulling Baoya away.
Knowing that they must be children of the Yun family and Baoya's brothers and sisters waiting for her to come home, she turned around and went back with peace of mind.
Baoya just told her that Zhang Xiuer had searched their house, and she probably knew why.
Before, Zhang Xiuer and Li Fugui came to propose marriage to Li Chengyong on behalf of the elders of the Li family, and her father mentioned it.
He said that he had written down all his blacksmithing experience and skills over the years, and would give them to her when she got married, so that Cheng Yong could learn some blacksmithing skills, and the two of them could make a living from them in the future.
I guess this is Zhang Xiu'er who is thinking about it.
Thinking of this, Feng Mengru showed a look of contempt on her face. Li Chengyong's brother and sister-in-law not only had bad hearts, but also had poor brains.
How could she possibly put such a precious thing in her new house with her baggage? She must have hidden it on her body.
On the other side, Baoya and Yunyue were holding hands, and their two older brothers and sisters, Yun Chenglu and Yunhua, were following behind them. The four of them were walking home together.
Yunyue couldn't wait to ask: "Baoya, how is it? How is it? Is the bride pretty?"
Feng Mengru is not the particularly beautiful type, but she is not ugly either.
She has a pretty face, angular eyebrows and eyes, and thin lips, which makes her look a little unkind, but she loves to laugh, which makes her look gentler.
"Hmm..." Baoya thought for a while and nodded affirmatively, "It looks good!"
Mainly because she thinks everyone who is good to her and whom she likes is good-looking.
"How beautiful is it?" Yun Chenglu also came over.
Just now when Feng Mengru sent Baoya away, they just glanced at her from a distance and didn't see her clearly.
Baoya didn't know what level of beauty this was. She frowned and said carefully, "It's just... a lot of beauty."
Well, Yun Chenglu felt that this answer was the same as not saying anything.
"Oh, right," Baoya suddenly remembered something and asked Yunhua, "Third sister, why are you waiting for me halfway?"
When Baoya mentioned this, Yunhua sighed, "Li Fugui got drunk and suddenly started throwing a tantrum, chasing everyone away. As a result, all the guests left. Grandma was worried when she saw you hadn't returned, so she asked my second brother, fourth sister, and I to wait for you to go home together."
"We didn't dare wait outside the Li family's gate, so we moved further away," Yun Yue continued. "Li Fugui's drunken rage is terrifying. By the way, what took you so long to come out?"
When Yunyue asked, Baoya thought of Zhang Xiuer again.
Suddenly he said, "There is a scar."
"Ah?" Yun Yue was confused by her sudden words.
"There's a scar on Zhang Xiuer's arm, and it's quite big." Bao Ya said.
She saw it when Zhang Xiuer was rummaging through things with her sleeves rolled up high.
"So what? It's normal for a village woman to have a scar on her body." Yun Chenglu said.
It seems so, but for some reason, Baoya felt that she seemed to have forgotten to tell Sister Mengru the key things.
