The two hugged and cried for a long time, and before they knew it, they were pressed together.
Wang Erhu, a vigorous young man, held his beloved childhood sweetheart in his arms, and before he knew it, his body began to change. He instinctively knew where to put his hands and where to put his mouth.
......
Gai Feng, her face flushed, broke free from Er Hu's embrace, pursed her already swollen lips, and tears still clung to her eyelashes.
Seeing her like this, Erhu felt a surge of desire, wishing he could immediately marry Gaifeng and make her his wife.
He coughed twice, trying to sound normal, "What happened to you just now? Why were you crying?"
......
In the past few days, Erhu's mother felt that her youngest son was a bit absent-minded. When he was weeding in the herb garden, he hoeed up several rehmannia seedlings, which made Li Guoling sullenly kick Erhu out!
At this moment, seeing Erhu staring blankly as he dipped his chopsticks into his bowl, she couldn't hold back any longer and smacked Erhu's hand with her chopsticks.
Ouch!
This chopstick strike was very forceful, and two red welts immediately appeared on the back of Erhu's hand!
"Mom! Why did you hit me?"
"Erhu, tell your mother honestly, what's been going on these past few days?"
Erhu's mother stared intently at her son with eyes like a lie detector. Knowing him as she did, she was certain that Erhu wouldn't do anything foolish!
Erhu put down his chopsticks and bowl, moved his lips a few times, and then, as if he had burned his bridges, he gripped the edge of the kang table with both hands and said loudly, "Gaifeng wants to find a son-in-law to support her!"
Erhu's mother's face fell instantly!
Erhu's father slowly placed the small wine cup in his hand on the kang table and casually picked up the kang broom.
Wang Dahu's face was ashen as he looked at his younger brother with a look of utter disapproval.
Wang Dahu's wife, Zhang Juan'er, glanced at her parents-in-law and husband's expressions, hugged her youngest son tightly, and unconsciously moved her bottom back a little, hoping that if a fight broke out, she and her son wouldn't get hurt.
Erhu's father asked, his expression unreadable, "What does Gaifeng's decision to take in a son-in-law have to do with you?"
Wang Erhu was stunned by his father's obvious question. "This, this, I'm going to marry Gai Feng!"
Erhu's mother sneered, "You're marrying Gaifeng? Or is it Liu Gaifeng who's marrying you?"
Wang Erhu slowly lowered his head. "This is a new society now. Men and women are equal, and children can take either surname..."
Before he could finish speaking, a broom made of sorghum seedlings flew and hit Erhu on the head. It was quite severe, and a large bump immediately appeared on his forehead!
Then, he slapped Erhu across the face again, yelling, "I'll beat you to death, you brain-dead idiot!"
......
The topic of supporting his son-in-law ended amidst the chaos within the Wang family.
Liu Gaifeng held Erhu, whose body was covered in bruises and whose eyes were swollen, and cried uncontrollably. She had originally thought there was a one in ten chance of this happening, but now she had no hope at all.
The two unfortunate young lovers faced an uncertain future, unsure of what to do next.
They didn't know, but their parents certainly did.
In less than a month, both sides found suitable partners for their children!
Wang Erhu's family has their eye on his sister-in-law Zhang Juan'er's cousin. She is eighteen years old this year, tall and strong, and her physique suggests she is fertile.
Most importantly, this girl has three brothers and only one precious daughter. They don't sell their daughter, they don't ask for much dowry, and there aren't many messy things going on.
Zhang Juan'er said, "Father, Mother, my uncle and aunt just want to find a good family for my sister, as long as she can live a peaceful and happy life in the future. You two know what kind of family tradition we have. In the past generations of our Zhang family, there has never been an unfilial daughter."
Erhu's parents were very satisfied with their eldest daughter-in-law's family and their character.
When Zhang Juan'er's uncle and aunt heard that their daughter could marry into Lijiapo, they immediately agreed. Most importantly, they had been relatives for several years and knew the character of Erhu's parents; Erhu was also a good person.
With the choice of partners finalized, both families introduced their children to each other. Regardless of Erhu's objections at home, both families have already begun to work diligently on the engagement.
The Wang family made no secret of Erhu's engagement; in fact, they announced it publicly the moment it was finalized.
Gai Feng sat at home, dejected and weeping. Her father, furious, cursed her for a long time before leaving the house.
Gai Fengniang poked her daughter's forehead with her middle finger, "You good-for-nothing little hussy! Where's your skill at seducing men?"
"Mother! Is this something you should say to your daughter?"
What a slut! What a seductress! Such awful words actually came from her own mother's mouth!
Gai Fengniang choked, "You good-for-nothing! All you do is yell at me, but you become a dog with your tail between your legs when you talk to outsiders!"
After she said another curse, she slammed the door and left in a huff.
Instead of going anywhere else, Feng's father went to find the widow, Lu the Cheap Girl.
When Lu Jiannu saw that Gai Feng's father had come again, she turned around and closed the door in a huff.
Gai Feng's father hurried a few steps forward, blocking the door from closing, and said with a forced smile, "You shameless woman, that brother of yours you mentioned last time, has he gotten married yet?"
Lu Jiannu looked at him with surprise. "You're asking about Lu Zhiguang?"
......
Gai Feng's father, his face flushed from drinking, swaggered back to the village. When he met villagers on the way, he greeted them loudly, "Third Brother, my family is looking for a son-in-law next month. Come to the wedding banquet!"
"Second Aunt, come to my house sometime and make a wedding quilt for Gaifeng. My Gaifeng is getting married next month!"
"Nephew, come and help out then!"
He swaggered along, even making a special trip to the Wang family's door.
“hei——tui——”
He spat a mouthful of thick yellow phlegm onto the doorstep, yelling, "Who cares!"
Just then, Erhu's father was sweeping the yard with a big broom. When he saw that Gaifeng's father was bullying him, he quickly ran over and knocked Gaifeng's father to the ground with a broom!
With a series of thunderous crashes, a chaotic massacre ensued!
It was Li Kang, who was on patrol, who separated the two. After finding out what had happened, Li Kang threw the drunken Gai Feng's father back to his own home, then washed his hands before leaving, smelling terrible!
Once the two got into a fight, the whole village knew about it.
Li Xiangdong overheard a bit of it while having dinner. He had been busy with the mushroom cultivation greenhouse for the past month, so busy that he hadn't had a moment to rest. He also took some time to go to Huaiguo Old Town and bought some rhinoceros horn and ivory.
This time, he got a huanghuali (rosewood) dressing box and promised it to Li Ping. Li Yan and Zhang Huan looked at it longingly. He still needs to find two more for his sister and niece.
In short, Li Xiangdong was very busy and had no idea that Erhu and Gaifeng had been separated.
With his rebirth, many things changed. He clearly remembered that in his previous life, the two of them got married smoothly, and none of these things happened.
"Clang—"
The door to Li Jin's house was suddenly pushed open, and a man and a woman rushed in, then knelt down in front of Li Xiangdong with a "thump"!
