Cui Siniu was completely unaware of this.
There were three tables set up at home today.
The dishes on each table were the same: seven vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.
It's supposed to be a meat dish, but it's really just a steamed egg custard, the kind with lots of water in it. It breaks apart as soon as you scoop it up, and you can only taste the egg flavor.
The wedding banquet passed by uneventfully.
No one was happy, except for the Luo family.
That night, sounds echoed throughout the Luo family's residence.
This made Cui Siniu's face flush.
"Heh, these three kids seem to be really eager to get some sleep. Let's hurry back to our rooms and get some rest, without making any noise to disturb them. Perfect timing, you might have some time to spare..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Jingui was so frightened that he took off running.
"You go to sleep first, I'm going out for a walk."
It's already dark, why bother taking a walk?
Cui Siniu was furious. Coupled with the noise coming from the house from time to time, she slammed the door shut with a dark face and prepared to go to sleep.
I don't even want to wash my feet.
If the child's father doesn't touch her, what's the point of washing her?
In the darkness, the moonlight is much weaker than in summer; if your eyesight is poor, you can't even see where you're going.
Luo Jingui had a few drinks, and he staggered to Yan Xia's doorstep.
The candles in Yan Xia's house had been extinguished; she was probably asleep.
He tried to climb over, but the courtyard wall was too high.
Luo Jingui came up with a plan. He went to a friend's house, borrowed a ladder, and carried it to Yan Xia's backyard.
He managed to flip himself up.
Encouraged by alcohol, he jumped down from the wall.
The moment she touched the ground, Yan Xia instantly regained consciousness.
She thought she had just heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, but she wasn't sure if she had misheard. Ever since the system transformed her into a strongwoman, her body had always felt out of control. Not only was her strength increasing, but she also looked younger and younger, and even her hearing was becoming more sensitive. When she remembered the line that said her strength was yet to be developed, Yan Xia felt a sense of unease.
Did she choose a test subject?
Depend on!
What if we transform her into a giant covered in green? Or what if she turns into a werewolf on the night of a full moon?
The more I think about it, the more terrifying it gets, oh my god—
Yan Xia put on her coat, quietly opened the door, walked to the woodpile, picked up the biggest and thickest piece of firewood, and headed towards the backyard.
Just as they were turning, they collided with Luo Jingui.
"Ouch--"
Luo Jingui trembled with fright. Before he could even see who was in front of him, he cried out in pain and fainted.
It turned out that Yan Xia had suddenly hit him with a stick.
It hit right on the head.
She touched it; it was bleeding, but her skull wasn't broken.
Fortunately, he didn't even use a tenth of his strength, otherwise this guy would have been reborn on the spot, if not dead.
Ultimately, they wouldn't survive.
Before waking his family, Yan Xia dragged him outside, and the door was gently closed.
Then they dragged him to the big tree in the middle of the village entrance.
They stripped him naked and tied him to a tree trunk with straw rope.
Completely naked.
The night was a bit chilly, as it was already autumn, but not cold enough to kill anyone. After finishing her good deed, Yan Xia threw Luo Jingui's clothes into the river, washed her hands by the river, and went home to sleep.
Early in the morning, just as dawn was breaking, a series of shouts woke up the entire village.
Yan Xia's family lives far away.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't hear it, but she had very sensitive hearing, and only she could hear it.
"Oh my, how embarrassing! How did this Luo family man end up tied up here, and not even dressed? What's going on? I just came out to empty the chamber pot, and they're trying to give me a sty first thing in the morning?"
"Jin Gui, wake up! Oh dear, why is there blood on your head?"
"Go quickly and call the village head!"
"Why are you calling the village head? Call Luo Cuishi over! It's unbelievable! She just got married yesterday, and this has happened today. She's completely lost face."
“Who will untie him? He’s so pitiful, his skin is all white from the cold.”
"Oh ho, Aunt Zhu, you're quite observant. Is your husband not good to you? You're even eyeing that scoundrel Luo Jingui."
"I'll tear your foul mouth apart! You're looking for a fight first thing in the morning, aren't you?"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of you. What kind of slut are you? All you do is seduce people all day long. You can't walk without wiggling your butt, can you? Look at all the men in our village, they're all staring at you. You're so slutty. Are you possessed by a vixen?"
"Aaaaah—I'm not finished with you, you bitch!"
So the people who were just about to untie Luo Jingui started trying to break up the fight again.
The scene was chaotic and unclear.
This led to Cui Siniu's family, the village head, and other villagers who rushed over upon hearing the commotion, only to find Luo Jingui completely naked.
"Oh dear, husband, what happened to you? Who did this? What a heartless bastard! Why did they tie my man to a tree? Why is he covered in blood? I'm going to report this to the authorities! I'm going to report this to the authorities!"
Cui Siniu didn't think too much about it.
She quickly told her three sons to put Luo Jingui down.
“Take off your coats and let your father wear them. It’s so embarrassing. Why don’t you even leave your underwear on?”
The noise woke Luo Jingui up.
"Ugh—"
He rubbed his head and roared in pain.
"Oh dear, husband, you're awake! Tell me what happened! Who did you offend? Why are you tied to a tree? Tell me, I'm going to report this to the authorities and make them pay me back!"
It just so happens that her three children's weddings cost her so much money.
They'll use this incident to extort money again.
It's so satisfying to think about; my family has really been on a lucky streak lately.
"You big bastard! Get out of here! Luo Wan, Luo Qian, hurry up and carry me home, my head is killing me! Luo Bai, go and fetch the doctor!"
How could Luo Jingui possibly say that, even though he didn't know who had knocked him unconscious?
But he could never escape the fact that he was a member of Yan Xia's family.
He broke into someone else's house, which was completely unreasonable.
If this matter is brought up again, that old hag will start making a huge fuss.
So, amidst the pointing fingers and whispers of the villagers, the two brothers carried their humiliated father back home.
Yan Xia, sitting at home eating breakfast, smiled without saying a word.
The shop in her family's home is under renovation, and her eldest and youngest sons are keeping an eye on it. She goes to check on it every two days and discuss the details with the workers.
The rest of the time is spent at home helping with farm work and researching new products for winter.
Although the autumn harvest has already taken place, farmers' land will not be left idle even in winter. Now every household will grow radishes, cabbages and other crops, which can be harvested in one or two months. The land will only rest for the year when it snows.
"Mother, I've finished the work in the fields today, you don't need to go anymore. You can rest for a while. Guihua and I will cook lunch."
Yan Xia, who was about to pick up the manure bucket to fetch some water from the river to irrigate the fields, reluctantly put the bucket down.
Her two daughters-in-law were incredibly diligent; Xiao Hebao took care of all the work in the fields, and Jing Shui was in charge of chopping firewood. They also kept the house clean and tidy, surpassing even her usually sensible daughters.
Staying at home was really boring. The temperature was the most comfortable time of the year. Wearing a thin coat, the gentle breeze made it especially cool. Yan Xia took the opportunity of taking a walk and went to the mountains.
