"It's enough, don't worry."
Wei Yuyan looked around the rooms. Leng Feng was efficient; the beds and cabinets were all in their proper places.
The cleaning was done well; all that's left is to move things.
"We can move now. Why don't we invite Brother Lifu and the others to come together and move over this afternoon?"
Wu Chen echoed.
"Okay, let's go back and move now. Wu Chen, you don't need to go. Just stay here and keep watch over things, since people are coming and going."
Wei Yuyan told Wu Chen not to follow around anymore, since he didn't have anything anyway.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
Wu Chen was quite happy to have been assigned a task, as long as he wasn't ignored.
When Wei Yuyan returned home with her sister and brother-in-law, she asked Leng Feng to call her two older brothers and sisters-in-law for help, while she began to pack her things.
"What? Wu Chen is back?"
Liu Cuifang had barely sat down when she heard that Wu Chen was back, she jumped up again.
"Why are you so excited? Don't forget you're pregnant now."
The village chief's wife never expected her daughter to be so sensitive about Wu Chen.
“I know, I’m surprised he’s still alive. If he’s not dead, why hasn’t he come back for two years?”
Liu Cuifang suppressed the pounding in her heart and sat back down.
"I don't know, but I heard he made a fortune and came back in a horse-drawn carriage with attendants."
The village chief's wife muttered to herself as she washed the dishes.
"I've struck it rich..."
These three words lingered in Liu Cuifang's ears, refusing to leave her for a long time.
She ran out while her mother was asleep, wanting to see Wu Chen.
She had liked Wu Chen since she was a child, and everyone in the village knew it, but the village chief would never agree to her marrying that poor wretch Wu Chen.
To everyone's surprise, Wu Chen got married soon after, and the village chief and his wife thought that this would put an end to Liu Cuifang's hopes.
Unexpectedly, Liu Cuifang went so far as to instigate Wei Yuyan to leave the Wu family.
Liu Cuifang thought that the couple had separated just a few days after getting married, so how could they have any feelings for each other? If Wu Chen was willing, she was willing to divorce him and marry him.
As she was thinking, Liu Cuifang walked to Wei Yuyan's new house. This was her first time there, and she was a little envious of the beautiful house.
I wish I were the one living there.
"Brother Wu Chen~".
Seeing the gate open, Liu Cuifang went straight in and saw the boy she had longed for.
With her eyes slightly reddening, Liu Cuifang called out in the gentlest voice.
"It's you. What's up?"
Wu Chen was engrossed in the book in his hand when he was suddenly called out. He was somewhat surprised when he saw who it was.
"Brother Wu Chen, when did you come back? How have you been these past two years? I've really missed you."
Liu Cuifang couldn't help but step forward and say everything that was on her mind.
"I'm sorry, when I got back is none of your business. You should leave now, I don't want my wife to misunderstand."
Wu Chen stood up, leaned on his cane, and walked to the side. Yu Yan had finally become a little nicer to him, and he didn't want to court death.
"Wife? What kind of wife is she? Do you think I don't know? You two haven't even consummated your marriage yet."
At the beginning of this year, your so-called wife repeatedly said that she wanted to abandon Xiaolei and Qianqian and leave.
"If I hadn't pleaded with her to stay and wait for you to come back, you probably wouldn't have seen her at all."
Wei Yuyan told Liu Cuifang everything about her past life, including this matter.
"That's my family matter, what's it to you?"
Wu Chen was not angry. He had known what kind of person this woman was since he was a child.
She's the kind of person who'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals.
"You...you really like her that much? What a pity, while you were away, she had already secretly made a promise to someone else and pledged her life to him."
If you don't believe me, just go to the bookstore next to the side entrance of the town's vegetable market and ask; that's her lover.
Seeing that Wu Chen still didn't believe her words at all, Liu Cuifang became angry and started saying anything.
"Get out, I don't want to lay a hand on a woman."
Wu Chen didn't believe Wei Yuyan could be that kind of person, but Liu Cuifang's words felt like a thorn in his heart.
"Brother Wu Chen, why can't you like me? I've liked you for so many years."
Liu Cuifang was still unwilling to give up and didn't want to leave. If she missed this opportunity, where else would she find such a good chance?
"Whoosh~".
Wu Chen picked up a basin of cold water from the table with one hand and splashed it on Liu Cuifang's face.
"Ah~".
In the dead of winter, it was freezing cold to have cold water poured on you. At this moment, Liu Cuifang finally came to her senses and wondered if she had just lost her mind.
Liu Cuifang fled in panic, leaving only a puddle of water on the ground.
Wu Chen sat down, regretting that he hadn't poured cold water on the situation sooner, after listening to so much foul language.
"Cuifang, what happened to you? Did you fall into the water?"
As soon as Liu Cuifang returned home, she encountered her mother, who was about to go out to look for her.
"..."
Liu Cuifang shook her head and went back to her room to change her clothes, otherwise she would catch a cold.
"Tell your mother the truth, did you go to see Wu Chen?"
The village chief's wife brewed ginger tea, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, and she began to question her daughter.
"Mother, he doesn't like me. I've given up on him completely this time."
The expectation in Liu Cuifang's eyes turned into resentment.
"What can I say to you, kid? You got splashed with cold water. Was it Wu Chen who did it?"
The village chief's wife didn't believe Wei Yuyan could do such a thing; on the contrary, she thought Wu Chen was more likely.
"Yes, his wife isn't here."
Liu Cuifang came to her senses, drank the ginger tea, and a thought arose in her mind: he was trampling on her like this.
He himself trampled on his wife...
"Don't let your father know about this, or you'll be in big trouble."
The village chief's wife looked at her distraught daughter, feeling both heartache and anger.
From childhood to adulthood, the couple tried everything to make their daughter give up on Wu Chen, from beatings to scoldings.
Not only were they useless, but they also made the villagers laugh at them.
"Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Liu Cuifang lowered her eyes.
In one afternoon, everything was moved. Everyone's clothes, belongings, and the pots and pans from the old house were all neatly arranged.
"Are we going to open fire here tonight?"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua didn't help, but she came over to join in the fun.
"Is there any particular custom or rule?"
Wei Yuyan didn't understand what taboos there were about moving to a new house in this era.
"Nothing special, but it's best not to start firing prematurely today."
Since you haven't prepared any dishes today, you should cook a particularly lavish meal to bring good luck.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law suggested.
"Okay, let's eat there again tonight. I didn't bring any leftovers. Let's have a proper celebration tomorrow at noon."
