Chapter 816 The Bride Who Died of Fright 3
Why is it that even though the two people inside the room were making love over and over again, no one outside could hear them?
Because ghosts have their own domain, like the isolation array in the cultivation world, as long as they don't want the outside world to hear, the sound cannot be transmitted.
But why do they have sex with Song Yanzhao as soon as they get on her body?
I have to ask tonight.
"Husband, I'm going back to my parents' home today. If you feel unwell, I can go back by myself."
Song Yanzhao felt that his current body was already a disservice to his wife. Returning to his wife's home was a matter of honor for her, so how could he not go?
So he got up, and the two of them washed up quickly, ate breakfast, and then got into the carriage prepared by Madam Song and headed towards Lin'an Village.
Chong'an Town is only five or six miles away from Lin'an Village, so we arrived quickly.
The maid Chunhong helped Ning Yan down from the carriage, and then Song Yanzhao got off the carriage with the help of a servant.
Someone in the Ning family courtyard saw the carriage and immediately shouted, "Grandma, Wuya is back home!"
Ning Yan: Ugh! This lousy name! If I were to transmigrate to an ancient rural area, I'd be called either "Ya" or "Ni". It's really awful.
Ning Yan looked into the courtyard. The one speaking was the second son of her fifth uncle's family. He was the eighth child in the family and was six years old this year.
Well, so far, the Ning family has five sons, all of whom are married, and one daughter, who is eighteen this year and still unmarried.
There are nine grandsons and eight granddaughters. Apart from the five daughters who are already married, there are 29 people in the family.
Because all four of the grandsons have already married, and both of the eldest and second cousins are currently pregnant, the Ning family will soon have four generations living together.
Just think about it, it's utterly chaotic.
Hearing Xiao Ba's shout, Ning Lao Si's wife came out of the house. It was her daughter's homecoming day, and she had deliberately stayed at home instead of going to the fields.
"Oh my, the son-in-law is here! Come in, come in and sit down."
His eyes only glanced at the couple before fixing on the gift in the servant's hand.
Ning Yan recalled the original owner's biological mother. She was also a ruthless person. In their branch of the family, there was one son and two daughters. The original owner's parents all favored sons over daughters. She was the eldest in their branch of the family, and Ning Lao Si and his wife treated this daughter like a servant.
The parents-in-law didn't object at all to their daughter being sold to someone for good luck; they just went to the old man and asked for half of the proceeds.
Those fifty taels were left for their beloved son and daughter-in-law.
The original owner received no dowry when she married back home.
She looked at the gifts her mother-in-law had prepared; they were all made of the finest fabrics, exquisite pastries, and silver ornaments for the women of the Ning family, as well as a packet of fifty taels of silver.
She came back today to cause trouble, not to connect with the Ning family.
So she replaced them all.
Ning Yan helped Song Yanzhao walk into the house without even calling her "Mother," and the woman didn't even notice.
When Grandpa Ning and Grandma Ning saw their wealthy grandson-in-law arrive, they both put on a kind face. "Quickly, quickly, sit down. Your father and the others have gone to the fields to irrigate. I'll have them come back right away."
Ning Yan glanced around and saw that only her aunt and the original owner's mother, her two daughters-in-law, were at home. Xiao Ba was too young to work and didn't go to the fields. Xiao Jiu was probably sleeping inside, since she was only two years old and did nothing but eat and sleep all day.
"Oh dear, I think my grandson-in-law is feeling better. This is truly a joyous occasion. Our Wuya is indeed blessed." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accompany Wuya on her homecoming.
The servant placed the gift on the table and then stood behind his master. Song Yanzhao said politely, "My lady is indeed blessed."
Old Mrs. Ning smoothed her white hair at her temples, a smug expression on her face: "How lucky we are! How lucky we are!" Now they'll have an excuse to freeload off her.
Song Yanzhao didn't respond, and the atmosphere became a little awkward. Grandpa Ning coughed and said, "Wu Ya, your mother wants to send your brother to study in town. You and your brother-in-law should take good care of him."
“If I remember correctly, he is nine years old this year. In the village, children his age can already support the family. He doesn’t need me to take care of him.”
Old Hu's child in the village lost his father in the army, and his mother's health deteriorated after years of hard work. The seven-year-old child took on the responsibility of supporting the family. Now he is ten years old. He not only took back the land that his family had rented out and farmed it himself, but also collected vegetables from the village to sell in the city. Everyone in the village praises that child for being sensible and capable, supporting the family at such a young age.
Grandpa Ning's face stiffened. What did this girl mean? Did she not want to take care of her own brother?
It's true what they say, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; she raised an ungrateful child.
But Ning Yan wasn't finished speaking, "To be honest, Xiao Qi is just unnecessary to go to that school."
It was extremely difficult for an ordinary farming family to support a scholar. The cost of writing materials, including pen, ink, paper, and tuition, would be more than ten taels of silver per year.
Our family is so poor we're selling our granddaughter. We don't want him to drain our family dry, or he won't even be able to become a scholar.
I'm not just making this up; he's obviously not very bright!
These words immediately enraged Aunt Song. Xiao Qi was her own son, the brat's younger brother. How could she talk about her own brother like that?
"Wu Ya, shut up! Who gave you permission to talk about Xiao Qi like that? Who do you think your brother is studying for? Isn't it so that he can stand up for you if you suffer in your husband's family?"
It's one thing to be ungrateful, but to say such things about him is unacceptable! You're a complete ingrate!
"If I don't say it this way, what should he say? Should he say that we should bring Xiao Qi to the Song family, feed him well, and send him to school?"
The Ning family members all showed expressions of "that's how it should be." It would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. Xiao Qi went to the Song family and pleased them. How could she not get any benefits?
Even if family members don't benefit, they can still save on food at home.
Ning Yan said "Oh," and then said, "The Ning family is so poor that they can't even afford to raise their grandson!"
"Then let's just marry Xiaoqi off too. I'll find him a good place. Even if it's not worth a hundred taels, ten taels will do."
Aunt Ning: ...It's hateful that my husband went to the fields, otherwise, she would have made him beat this wretched girl to death!
Ning Yan deliberately provoked the Ning family. She wasn't afraid of them making a scene; only by causing a scene could she completely sever ties with them.
Song Yanzhao was also surprised by his wife's reaction. Based on his understanding of her over the past two days, she was not such a sharp-tongued person.
But when he thought about what she had just said about marrying off her younger brother, he understood. In his eyes, it was his family finding him a wife to bring him good fortune, but in his wife's eyes, it was her family selling her off. Anyone would feel bad in that situation, right?
It seems he'll have to treat her even better from now on.
Old Mrs. Ning, her face stiff, looked at her granddaughter with increasing displeasure. "Alright, alright, let's not talk about Xiao Qi anymore. Wu Ya is coming home for her wedding today. What are you, her mother, still standing here for?"
"Hurry up and go to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Why can't the mother and daughter talk things out? Wuya is Xiaoqi's own sister; how can she ignore him?"
