As the villagers finished eating and left one after another, Liu Meie held Lin Qiaoyue's hand tightly, reluctant to let her go. Han Bao watched from the side, thinking to himself that his mother truly understood him.
But the girl next to him kept staring at him, so he got up and switched places with someone else to avoid Cui Yufang's gaze.
Seeing that Han Bao was deliberately avoiding her, Cui Yufang angrily twisted her handkerchief, thinking he was truly ungrateful.
Seeing her daughter's furious expression and then at Liu Meie's eager gaze at Lin Qiaoyue, Cui Liushi decided to vent her anger on her daughter's behalf.
"Grandma, your second grandson is of marriageable age, but there's still no news. Is there perhaps a problem?"
After speaking, Cui Liushi deliberately glanced at Chen Jinfeng and Lin Qiaoyue. This Lin Qiaoyue was nothing special; she actually looked down on her son, Cui Yushan. Now it seemed she was just good-looking, but her face turned red when she spoke. What could she do? Fortunately, she wasn't with her son, or she would be furious.
Liu Meie glared at her and said coldly, "My second son is as strong as an ox, what problems could he have? The reason we haven't arranged a marriage is because we haven't met the right person. Now that we've found someone suitable, of course we should arrange a marriage. Don't you think so, Sister-in-law Lin?"
Anyway, she was very satisfied with Lin Qiaoyue. She looked like a lucky woman and she and Han Bao would definitely be a good match.
"That's natural. The marriage of one's children is a matter of fate, and when the time is right, parents can't stop it."
Chen Jinfeng casually agreed. The Han family had an excellent reputation in the village, and their family had received help from the Han family over the years. Han Bao didn't have any bad habits and was a down-to-earth and hardworking person. As long as Qiaoyue agreed, they naturally wouldn't object.
She looked at her daughter, and Lin Qiaoyue, feeling Han Bao's earnest gaze, blushed.
At the age when love is just beginning to blossom, everyone naturally understands these kinds of things.
Feeling awkward, Cui Liushi could only continue eating in silence.
"Yulu, your second uncle said he misses you. When are you going back for a visit?"
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Cui Liu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at Cui Yulu with her almond-shaped eyes.
“I’m not going back. I’ve already told you that I have nothing to do with you anymore. The house belongs to you. What I’ve done for the family over the years is enough to repay your kindness in raising me. From the day I got married, we have nothing to do with each other.”
Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Cui Yulu, you're a real bastard. My family has raised you for so long, even a dog would know to be grateful, but you're so heartless and ungrateful. You deserve to be a jinx."
Cui Yufang had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it, so she took it out on her.
"If you say 'jinx' again, believe me, I'll kick you out."
"Heh, you're quite something, even knocking me out. You're showing off here, but who in Yushan Village doesn't know you're a jinx? You even caused my father's leg injury."
Cui Yulu's expression changed repeatedly as she listened to what was said. Whenever she recalled those unbearable past events, she would have nightmares.
"I'm a jinx, but isn't that all thanks to you? Without your and your mother's mouths, would I be a jinx?"
I was bullied, insulted, and driven away by the children in my village since I was a child, all because of the propaganda of Cui Liushi and Cui Yufang.
"Get out, you are not welcome here."
Seeing his wife turn pale with anger, Han Yu'an angrily pointed at the mother and daughter and told them to leave his house.
"Hehe, Mother, look at this fool, he actually knows how to protect Cui Yulu. But a fool is a fool, he's not worthy of respect."
Cui Yufang crossed her arms over her chest, looking smug. It really was a case of "the one who eats his fill and then criticizes the cook."
Now that they've eaten their fill, they're starting to curse the Han family.
Cao Jinfang, who was eavesdropping outside, couldn't suppress a smile. This Cui Liu was really like a firecracker; she could set anything on fire with just a little spark. She was a good helper.
"Grandma, what are you laughing at? Don't you think those two won't get the short end of the stick? Should I go help them?"
"You stay here and see how things go first."
The grandfather and grandson continued to crouch by the wall, eavesdropping on what was happening inside.
Snap, snap.
Cui Yufang was slapped twice across the face, and she stood there stunned.
Who hit me just now? It was too fast, I didn't see clearly.
"Does your hand hurt, my wife? Let me warm it up for you."
Han Yu'an grabbed Cui Yulu's hand and blew on it for her, looking like he was protecting his wife.
"Cui Yulu, you hit me, you're asking for it, I'll fight you to the death."
Cui Yufang had never suffered such humiliation before, and she immediately pounced on Cui Yulu and started tearing at her.
However, she underestimated Cui Yulu's strength. With a flick of her hand, Cui Yufang was sent flying.
It hit Han's entire body directly, and Cui Yufang looked at the man holding her in horror.
"Oh dear, this is terrible! Men and women should not touch each other. You, a girl, have actually been hugged by a man. You have no shame."
Anyone can stir up trouble, but Liu Meie was a master at it. Back then, men and women didn't sit together, and physical intimacy was strictly forbidden.
"Hey, why are you hugging me? Let go of me."
Cui Yufang glared angrily at Han Quan, and pushed him away with a look of utter disgust.
"have a finger in the pie."
However, Han Quan wasn't angry at all when he saw how annoyed she was with him. Instead, he just grinned foolishly. Even when she was angry, she was still so beautiful.
"What are you laughing at? You've ruined someone's innocence."
Cui Yufang stomped her foot in anger, but didn't forget to look at Han Bao. At this moment, Han Bao had no time to pay attention to her and was talking to Lin Xiucai. It seemed that Lin Xiucai was also very satisfied with Han Bao, and this marriage was about to be finalized.
"Cui Yulu, what do you mean? She's your sister, after all. How could you ruin her reputation? Are you even human?"
"This has nothing to do with me. I just hit her, I didn't let her fall into a man's arms."
Cui Yufang blushed deeply after being spoken to, and glared at Han Quan even more angrily.
"It's all your fault. What are you doing here? Why aren't you staying home?"
"Don't be angry. I was just worried you would get hurt, that's why I rushed out. I will take responsibility."
Cao Jinfang was anxious listening from outside. This silly grandson of hers really has no intelligence; he can't even handle the smallest thing.
"I don't want you to take responsibility."
She wanted to marry into the Han family's main branch so she could bully Cui Yulu and make her work under her every day, just like before.
"I have to take responsibility. Tomorrow I'll have my mother propose marriage to your family. You wait for me at home."
Cui Yufang was so angry she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. However, Cui Liu was quite satisfied with the marriage. Han Quan was a scholar, and his brother was a student who had been praised by the teacher. They were sure to achieve great things in the future.
One should look forward. The eldest branch of the Han family seems to be doing well now, with plenty to eat and drink, but they lack staying power and probably won't amount to much.
"You must remember your words, we are waiting at home for your good news."
Cui Yufang glared at her mother. She didn't want to marry Han Quan; she wanted to marry Han Bao.
Seeing Cui Yufang's discomfiture, Cui Yulu felt inexplicably happy. Han Quan was no good man; there would be a good show to watch later. But she wouldn't tell them.
