Aunt Man stood in the courtyard and sighed softly.
What a terrible thing to do.
How did her family end up marrying such a troublemaker?
“Aunt Man, you can’t fall down. What will happen to Dazhuang and Xinghua if you fall down?” Lu Rong walked over, patted the old lady’s shoulder, and comforted her for a moment.
The old lady experienced countless moments of despair throughout her life. When her grandson was born, she thought she would take good care of him, but he inherited Xinghua's stubbornness (that is, he was not quick-witted).
She sighed. She was already so old; she couldn't possibly raise another great-grandchild.
Why not?
Aunt Man suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Da Zhuang and Xing Hua's personalities had already been shaped. If she died, Zhou Wenwen would devour them until they were nothing but bones. She had to live well and watch her great-grandson be born.
Zhou Wenwen is no good. That girl is scheming and cunning. She must have other motives for marrying into Xiahe Village. If her old lady dies early, it will be just as Zhou Wenwen wants.
She took a deep breath, and her mind gradually cleared. Her usual dizziness and blurred vision seemed to disappear in an instant.
At that moment, she was brimming with power.
"Rong, your aunt is alright. It's all thanks to your daughter-in-law." Aunt Man smiled as she looked at Qiao Wanyue.
Dazhuang then returned and repeated to Qiao Wanyue what she had told him, word for word.
Qiao Wanyue and Zhou Wenwen were from the same village, so she must have known something to warn Dazhuang, but the silly boy didn't understand and fell head over heels in love with this vixen.
She took a liking to Dazhuang because he saved her life. As his grandmother, she knew exactly what kind of person Dazhuang was, and she didn't believe in any nonsense about taking responsibility for someone who had seen her body.
What era are we living in? Cloth is for bound feet, not brains. You're going to die anyway, why care about chastity?
Only a fool like Dazhuang would believe in repaying a life-saving debt with his body.
Her eyes gradually hardened.
Her gaze shifted to the new house. If she could take good care of Dazhuang and Xinghua, then she could also raise someone who could protect them.
Qiao Wanyue noticed the change in the old lady's demeanor and knew that she had regained hope of living.
As long as a person has a thought, they can live.
The sounds of ambiguity and pain, along with Zhou Wenwen's soft cries for help, emanated from the new house. No one paid any attention; they were already husband and wife, so what did it matter if they did something?
Lu Rong and Aunt Man coaxed Xinghua to sleep, and then Aunt Man saw Lu Rong out the door. She went back to her room, tore off two wads of cotton, and stuffed them into her ears.
Qiao Wanyue returned home.
The lights in Lu Rong's room were off. She went to open the door, but found it locked from the inside.
Qiao Wanyue was about to suggest going to her room to rest when she saw Lu Rong grab a knife and chop the door open.
Qiao Wanyue: ......
She stormed into the house with a knife in her hand. Qiao Wanyue only entered the house after confirming that Lu Rong was alright.
A roar came from the courtyard.
She locked the door, turned off the lights, and entered the space, where no sound mattered to her.
The fruits in the space were all ripe and could stay fresh for a while if they were left hanging on the branches. There was also some fruit that had accumulated in the cabin. Qiao Wanyue had considered selling them on the black market, but the risks were too great now.
She suddenly realized that although she couldn't sell them, she could raise some chickens and ducks, and also raise some fish in the small river in the space. She could then use these fruits and vegetables as food, which would make the meat even more delicious.
She plans to buy a few next time she goes to town. No one sells them on the market, but she can try her luck on the black market.
After making up her mind, Qiao Wanyue went into the cabin and opened her textbook. The textbooks nowadays were relatively simple, so she didn't find them difficult to learn. She marked the parts she didn't understand and planned to ask Li Xiuxiu about them when she went to town next time.
