Chapter 44: A happy day, no anger
As her voice fell, the air around her became thin.
But Yu Tingwan didn't want to say more, so as not to cause trouble.
The Zhou family's father-in-law and daughter-in-law can disregard human ethics, what else can they not do? If they see the truth and hold a grudge, and take advantage of Wei Shouzhong's absence to come to the Wei family to make trouble, how can she and Hui Niang, two women, resist?
There is really no need to get involved for fifty cents. It is better to have less trouble than more.
However, she also revealed in a gentle voice: "This matter cannot be concealed. It is estimated that in a few days..."
She paused, listened to the beginning of the words, and only said: "Aunt, don't worry."
Yes, Liu Matchmaker will be caught on the spot by Li Lian.
Seeing her firm tone, Aunt Wu believed it 70%.
Zhou Qin grew up under her care. I don't know how much she suffered at the hands of her stepmother Liu Matchmaker in the early years! But her short-lived father and mean grandfather despised her because she was a girl, and turned a blind eye to her, allowing her to be treated harshly by her stepmother.
At that time, Liu the matchmaker wanted to marry her stepdaughter far away. Relying on her eloquence, she praised the drunkard and womanizer as a rare good son-in-law.
If Zhou Qin's grandmother hadn't heard the news and made a fuss, and if her uncles who were carrying hoes hadn't been behind her, I'm afraid the child would have been harmed.
Although the scandal happened, the whole family was ashamed.
But...
Aunt Wu slapped her thigh and said, "Okay, then I'll let her go back and wait!"
She and Zhou Qin wished that Liu the matchmaker would be unlucky!
Aunt Wu felt relieved and not so gnashing her teeth.
She looked at Yu Tingwan with a smile.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the girl's face has become less pale and more rosy after not seeing her for a few days.
Even her chin is not so sharp.
"I came to see you today for another matter."
Aunt Wu: "My Erlang caught a rabbit, it's very fat, and we're going to stew it for dinner later. You must come to my house for dinner in
the evening." If it weren't for Yu Tingwan, Xiufen's baby would not be safe. Aunt Wu loved Yu Tingwan and was willing to be generous.
At this time, voices came from next door.
"Boss, where is the evergreen at home? I put it in the house yesterday, how come it disappeared?"
"Have you posted couplets inside and outside the house? Don't you still have a few couplets with 'Prosperity of Livestock'? Don't forget to paste them on the chicken coop with glue."
"Grandun is still alive, so the boss will go and pick him up in person. He has treated us well over the years, and we must be polite."
It was Hui Niang's voice.
Aunt Wu found it strange. There was not much entertainment in the countryside, and what happened in someone's family could be discussed privately for days.
She pointed at Yu Tingwan next door.
"It's strange. Is the Wei family going to have a wedding? The Wei family's Alang was injured so badly. When he came back, he fell to the ground covered in blood. They said he couldn't be saved."
She didn't believe in old man Qian's medical skills.
Before, Xiufen had a stomachache, but old man Qian didn't know she was pregnant.
Aunt Wu couldn't help asking: "Wan Niang, you are close to the Wei family, do you know who he married?"
Yu Tingwan:...
Then you finally asked the right person.
She knows too much!
But before she could open her mouth, Aunt Wu took the lead.
She patted her thigh: "Look at how confused I am. You don't have any contact with the Wei family. I'm afraid you just say hello when you bump into them on the road. What can you know?"
Yu Tingwan is a loner and is not a girl who is willing to socialize with others.
Aunt Wu remembered that Yu Tingwan was about to go out. She knew that Yu Tingwan often went into the mountains, and her face turned solemn.
"My Erlang learned hunting from an old hunter before. He often goes into the mountains to have a good meal, but he dares not go deep into the mountains. He always walks around the periphery. But when he came back this morning, he said he saw footprints of wild animals on the snow."
Oh, it's scary to think about it.
"Don't go to the mountains these days."
Yu Tingwan: "No."
That's good.
Aunt Wu reminded again: "Remember to come to my house for dinner. The rabbit I cook is delicious."
Yu Tingwan said in a lukewarm tone: "Then... maybe I can't come."
"Why, what's the matter?"
Yu Tingwan said lightly: "I have to find time to go to the next door to get married."
Aunt Wu: ? ? ?

Yu Tingwan walked into the Wei family with brisk steps.
When she arrived, Hui Niang was wiping the evergreen in the yard. There was red paper beside it, as well as dyed wedding eggs and peanuts.
"Why did you get up so early?"
Seeing her, Hui Niang's smile became even more intense.
She spread the wedding eggs and peanuts on the red paper, and then carefully wrapped the evergreen in it. She didn't forget to wrap it up with red ropes to prevent it from falling apart.
This was for the bride to hold over the brazier.
Hui Niang grabbed the peanuts on the side again, pinched the head slightly, and heard a click. It opened its mouth and then bit the leaves of the evergreen.
Not long after, the evergreen was covered with red and green peanuts, which was very festive.
Seeing Yu Tingwan leaning over to watch, Hui Niang said.
"I steamed a few sweet potatoes. Go to the kitchen and eat some to fill your stomach."
Yu Tingwan responded.
In addition to sweet potatoes, there was also... Wei Zhao, who was peeling sweet potatoes with a listless look in his eyes.
Wei Zhao was awakened early in the morning by the voices of Wei Shouzhong and Hui Niang.
He wanted to continue lying down, but Wei Shouzhong insisted that he come out and try the crutch that he had made overnight.
He peeled it a few times and put a bite in his mouth.
It tasted like chewing wax.
Seeing Yu Tingwan coming in, he was too lazy to raise his head.
Yu Tingwan picked up the crutch at his feet and looked at it curiously, and did not forget to try the feel.
"Uncle..."
Yu Tingwan paused.
This address had to be changed.
She was very natural, without a bit of embarrassment: "Our father's craftsmanship is really good."
Wei Zhao didn't know how Yu Tingwan could adapt to it so smoothly.
He said listlessly: "Do you like it?"
Yu Tingwan nodded: "Yeah."
After getting the crutch, Wei Zhao had to walk more. Lying down all day, let alone being sick, even if he was not sick, he would get sick.
Wei Zhao: "Then I'll give it to you."
He didn't even have to throw it away himself.
To be honest, this was a wedding gift from Wei Zhao.
Who gave the crutch?
Can she use it!
Even though Yu Tingwan could guess his ulterior motives, she managed not to turn her face away.
It was a happy day, so she couldn't get angry.
The little girl was silent for a long time.
So long that Wei Zhao felt that the kitchen was strangely quiet.
Wei Zhao was confused: "What's wrong?"
Yu Tingwan finally found her voice, without any emotion: "I was thinking about whether I should break my leg, otherwise it will just accumulate dust."
If it were someone with more insight, knowing that girls are good at saying one thing and thinking another, he would have apologized with a smile.
But Wei Zhao didn't.
His eyes moved.
"Do you want help?"
Yu Tingwan couldn't bear it anymore, and raised her hand to hit him.
She was really strong.
It was quite painful, but even at this point, she still knew to avoid the vital parts. After
living for so many years, this was the first time Wei Zhao was beaten.
