Chapter 11 Everyone Has a Past
Zhang Juexia's mouth opened wide.
This is a bit too much information.
But, this...
Ye Beixiu came out, picked up the vegetable basket that Wang Guilan had brought from the ground and walked home.
"Grandma, that's all in the past. Don't tell Xia'er about it."
Wang Guilan glared at Ye Beixiu and said, "I have to let your wife know that this man is not a good person."
"Grandma, is this person also from our village?"
Wang Guilan slapped her forehead. "I was so angry with that old woman that I forgot to tell you her background. Her family is new to our village. Her surname is Qin, and everyone calls her Old Lady Qin."
"Mrs. Qin, Third Madam? This doesn't seem to fit in."
"Mrs. Qin's husband's family is the third child. According to the old neighbors, your generation should call her Third Grandma."
"oh……"
Wang Guilan entered the yard and looked at the things all over the yard, and immediately forgot about Mrs. Qin.
Zhang Juexia wanted to ask but couldn't open his mouth. He made up his mind to find an opportunity another day to find out more about this matter.
She wondered if Ye Beixiu still liked that girl. Thinking of this, she felt a little unhappy.
Wang Guilan excitedly counted the pheasants and rabbits in the yard. "Beixiu, these are all hunted by you from the mountains."
"My dear, ten pheasants, seven rabbits, oh, eight rabbits, and here's a wounded one. Xiu'er, you've never hunted so much game since you injured your leg. Good, good, you've married a good wife, she'll bring you good luck!"
Wang Guilan walked around the yard and looked at the piles of things there, including wood ear mushrooms, peppercorns, and mugwort. "Xiu'er, what is this?"
She picked up one of the herbs, looked at it, and then put it to her nose and smelled it.
"Xia'er said it was medicinal herbs. Let's go to the medicine shop tomorrow and ask. Maybe we can exchange it for some silver."
Wang Guilan stepped forward and took Zhang Juexia's hand, "Bei Xiu's wife, you also know about medicinal herbs? That's really amazing!"
As he spoke, the old man began to wipe away his tears again.
Zhang Juexia was at a loss, so she asked Ye Beixiu for help.
Ye Beixiu helped Wang Guilan into the house.
"I'm happy to see our Xiu'er living a good life."
Wang Guilan then remembered her business. She brought the basket over to Zhang Juexia and began to take things out. "You've just gotten married and don't have your own vegetable garden, so I picked some vegetables for you. If there's nothing left at home, go pick some. Don't listen to Xiu'er. We're all family, how can we be so picky?"
The ground was instantly filled with cucumbers, beans, and eggplants.
"Thank you, grandma, but this is too much!"
"Not much, not much. The rain has been good this year, so we can't finish eating all the vegetables in the garden. I plan to ask your third uncle to go to town to sell some tomorrow."
Zhang Juexia looked at Ye Beixiu and asked for his opinion.
Ye Beixiu nodded.
Only then did Zhang Juexia take the dishes to the kitchen.
"Grandma, you see I can hunt and support my family. Don't worry about me."
"You child, it's because of your courtesy that I, an old man, have to carry such a heavy basket and walk such a long way. Bei Xiu's wife, if there are no vegetables at home in the future, you can go to the garden to pick them. If he dares to do anything to you, tell me and I will vent my anger on you."
Zhang Juexia stuck out her tongue at Ye Beixiu and replied with a smile, "Okay, grandma."
"Grandma, I've packed two of the fish we caught in the mountains for you, as well as the injured hare that Bei Xiu shot with his bow and arrow. Take it too and cook it for everyone."
Wang Guilan waved her hands quickly, "I don't want it, I don't want it. You guys worked so hard to carry it down from the mountain. Your uncle, your third uncle, your cousin, and even those guys at home can go up the mountain. How can I still take your things?"
"Grandma, who was it that complained that my husband and you couldn't tell the difference just now? Now you are like this again. I have already packed the things. Just consider it as a filial gift from my husband and me to you and grandpa."
"You kid."
Wang Guilan didn't refuse anymore. "It's getting late. I have to go home."
Zhang Juexia sent Wang Guilan down the slope and then returned to his home.
When she returned home, she clearly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.
Ye Beixiu was avoiding her.
Who is Zhang Juexia? If she doesn't find out who that granddaughter of Mrs. Qin is today, she can still sleep.
"Grandma has gone home."
"Um."
Ye Beixiu was fiddling with his bow and arrow absentmindedly, but Zhang Juexia snatched it from his hand. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Ye Beixiu said in a muffled voice, "What did you want me to say? You did a great job today. I originally said that the rabbit was for you to eat."
"Isn't that what I'm talking about?"
"So which one are you talking about?"
Ye Beixiu's eyes were evasive. "My legs are sore from climbing the mountain today. I need to rest."
"It's not a big deal. How about I remind you, Miss Qin?"
Ye Beixiu coughed dryly, "Do you really want to listen?"
Zhang Juexia tilted his head and said "hmm".
"I was engaged to her when I was sixteen, but after I became lame, her family called off the engagement."
"No more?"
“No more.”
Zhang Juexia felt unsatisfied, "Is she pretty?"
"I didn't notice."
"Aren't you from the same village?"
"This marriage was arranged by my family. When I was hunting, I would go to her house every now and then to deliver it, but every time I went there, I never saw her."
Zhang Juexia burst into laughter.
"I guess I got engaged to you just because I wanted to eat the game you hunted!"
Ye Beixiu felt a little embarrassed by Zhang Juexia's teasing and kept clamoring to go to bed.
"Everyone has their past. I just think this family is unkind. But I have to thank them for being unkind. Otherwise, how would I have the chance to marry you?"
"You really mean it!"
"Truth be told!"
Ye Beixiu picked up Zhang Juexia and put her on the bed.
Before she could turn over, someone pressed on her.
"You rough, rough man..."
"Wife, please be louder. I like it."
Zhang Juexia didn't have the energy to talk to him at this time. He was just under his control.
After the lovemaking, Zhang Juexia felt like he was falling apart.
Ye Beixiu, however, acted as if nothing had happened, "Wife, I will only treat you well in this life."
Zhang Juexia just said "hmm", turned over and fell asleep again.
Ye Beixiu looked at Zhang Juexia who was sleeping, then moved closer and gave her a kiss.
He really likes this daughter-in-law.
Fortunately, he insisted on marrying her at that time, otherwise he would have missed it.
When he woke up the next day, Zhang Juexia took a shower first.
She was annoyed why Ye Beixiu didn't wake her up.
Ye Beixiu pursed his lips in grievance, "I called you, but you didn't wake up, and you even scolded me..."
