"I won't do it! Go if you want, why should I? Did I want to fight? Zhao Cuifen made up an excuse to beat me up just to curry favor with that ingrate Yun Duo. As for what I said about Yun Dazheng later, was I wrong about any of it? I said the truth in everything. It's clearly our Lu family's village, yet I was bullied by an outsider. Why should I?"
“Lu Laogen, let me tell you, after all these years of marriage, I’ve figured you out. You’re just a coward, afraid of wolves and tigers, even a straw rope can scare you. I’ve tried so many methods, but none of them have made you any better. I’ve resigned myself to my fate.”
"It's your business if you're a coward, don't try to drag me down with you!"
"Let me tell you, Lu Laogen, don't push me too far, or else... or else I'll go back to my parents' house and stay for ten days or half a month. Let's see who washes your clothes and cooks for you then!"
Knowing that "Little Nobleman" and the others had left, Zhang Juhua unconsciously started to "shake" again, and after saying a few more words, she reverted to her true "nature".
Lu Laogen looked at Zhang Juhua, shook his head, sighed, and said, "You'd better say less. Don't think that just because that little nobleman left, he won't come back. Don't you think that's all? It's only been a short time, and he's already come to our village three times."
"The first time we got the county magistrate to help Yun Duo divide the family property, people from the county have been coming all over the place to handle things, haven't they? They didn't even get a single meal at Uncle Yun's house, but they still got everything done perfectly, didn't they?"
"They came by yesterday and left right away, but they're back again today. Who knows if they'll come tomorrow? Or next month?"
"You told me all this yourself before, have you forgotten?"
Zhang Juhua's face quickly changed color. After a long while, she whispered, "I don't know what kind of bewitching potion that damned girl from the Yun family gave Xiao Gui. How could such a dark, skinny, ugly girl be worth Xiao Gui making trip after trip to our rural area for? She's really a jinx..."
Lu Laogen frowned slightly: "Alright, you really don't need to say anymore... Let's soften our stance now and get Uncle Yun and Aunt Qi's forgiveness, so we won't have to live in fear in the future, always worried that old grievances will be brought up."
To be honest, Lu Laogen didn't really think Yun Duo had "harmed" anyone. However, he knew his wife's temperament well, and if he kept arguing with her, he didn't know what other hurtful things she would say. So, he could only try to persuade her from other angles.
Zhang Juhua curled her lip and said with a hint of disdain, "That's your worry! You're as timid as a pinhole. I really don't know if I was blinded by greed to agree to marry such a good-for-nothing like you!" As she spoke, she took a few steps outside. Seeing that Lu Laogen was still standing there, she said impatiently, "Hurry up and go. Didn't you say you were going to apologize to the Yun family? Why aren't you moving? The sooner you go and come back, the sooner I can get a nap."
"Oh, okay." Lu Laogen nodded repeatedly and said, "Then I'll go catch a chicken."
"Why are you catching chickens?" Zhang Juhua's eyes immediately became wary, and her face was full of resistance.
“Since it’s an apology, shouldn’t we bring something with us? What do you think we have besides that old hen that we can offer?” Lu Laogen said.
