After hearing a lot about Zhang Shoujun from the chatterbox, the two sisters secretly went to Zhangjia Village. However, when the Zhang family was mentioned, they received mostly positive reviews.
The Zhang family has a good reputation among the villagers of Zhangjia Village. Occasionally, Zhang Shoujun is looked down upon, mainly because people his age already have children old enough to run errands, while he is still unmarried.
Well, some people say that Zhang Shoujun is too picky. He doesn't even like the prettiest girl in the village. If a girl falls down in front of him, he won't even help her up.
This pleased Liu Shile, as it showed that he wasn't stupid, and that meant she didn't have to worry about him having affairs.
The two sisters asked almost every question they wanted to know, and they even secretly observed the people who were supposedly from the Zhang family.
When Liu Shile discovered that the atmosphere at their house was quite pleasant while they were working, it was different from what she had imagined.
"Big sister, it seems the Zhang family is quite good," Liu Shile said with a smile on the way back. "What do you think, big sister?"
Liu Shixi's face flushed, but since she hadn't completely removed her disguise yet, it wasn't noticeable.
Then she said, "This matter is still far from settled. Their family is good, but it also depends on whether we are destined to be together."
As for Mom, we don't know what she's thinking yet. Although she seems quite enthusiastic about this, who knows what conditions she'll bring up in the end?
If she makes excessive demands, the man isn't stupid; he might become dissatisfied with her. Her mother's thoughts also add to her frustration.
But that was her mother who gave birth to her and raised her, so there were some things she could only go along with and couldn't go against her.
Liu Shile didn't know what her older sister was thinking. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "That's true. Getting married isn't something you can just decide with a few words."
And what about Mom? I wonder if she'll cause trouble in this matter? So I just said, "Let's wait and see. They say fate is predetermined. If you're meant to be, you'll be together."
Hearing this, Liu Shixi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, we still don't know what he's thinking. Let's go cut grass for the cattle."
Well, Liu Shile felt that she might have handled things a little poorly today, giving her older sister hope, but what if it didn't work out?
Pshaw, she squeezed the thought out of her head. She hoped that Zhang Shoucheng would take a liking to her older sister. It would be a shame if her older sister didn't get together with someone so suitable for her.
If the eldest brother were here, he probably wouldn't be able to marry the eldest sister even if he wanted to, since the eldest brother wanted to introduce her to someone.
By the time the two sisters returned home with loads of hay for the cows, it was already dark. In the past, their mother would probably have scolded them, but today she was unusually quiet.
Liu Shile didn't care and was happy to enjoy the peace and quiet. However, after nightfall, she did not cultivate her spiritual power as usual.
She hadn't forgotten that bastard was eyeing her older sister. In Liu Shile's opinion, there was nothing wrong with you liking a girl; you could pursue her openly or even propose marriage, right?
But when you fall for someone, you don't ask a matchmaker to arrange a marriage, nor do you pursue them openly. Instead, you resort to underhanded schemes and almost ruin their family. What's the meaning of this?
He's such a brat! She really didn't hit him hard enough last time, which is why he started causing trouble again as soon as he could move!
She had assumed Yang Xiaolin was at the Yang family's house, but when she arrived at Yangjia Village, she found him missing. After thinking about what he had said earlier, Liu Shile headed towards Dujia Village.
The Du family's conditions were quite ordinary. Apart from having a large vegetable garden, they didn't have many rooms. After carefully observing the situation, Liu Shile found Yang Xiaolin.
It has to be said, Yang Xiaolin is really favored in the Du family. They even vacated a room just for him, which is convenient for Liu Shile.
With a gentle pull, she ripped the wooden window out of the mud wall, then leaped into the room and dragged Yang Xiaolin out.
Then she didn't go far, and started working right there in the vegetable garden. She was incredibly fast, and by the time Yang Xiaolin felt the pain, she had already vanished.
The screams in the dead of night nearly woke up everyone in the entire Du family village. Hearing the somewhat familiar screams coming from the courtyard, the Du family members all got up.
It was pitch black all around. The Du family finally managed to light a lamp and went outside, only to see a dark, indistinct thing lying on the ground.
Supported by her eldest daughter-in-law, Old Lady Du glanced at him hesitantly and asked, "Where is my Xiao Lin?"
Du's eldest daughter-in-law secretly pursed her lips. Her mother-in-law's heart was really biased to no end. As soon as she woke up, she asked that good-for-nothing who did nothing all day!
But this is her mother-in-law, what can she say?
Du Dayong and Du Eryong had already walked towards the dark thing, while Du Sanyong followed behind with a torch.
"This, this is Xiaolin?!" Then Du Eryong exclaimed in surprise, "Wasn't Xiaolin sleeping inside? How did he get here?"
Yang Xiaolin was very clear-headed, but his whole body ached, and he was curled up in a ball, his voice barely audible.
Only his initial few screams were relatively loud; now, he has difficulty speaking, and when he hears his second uncle's words, he can't even respond.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Du immediately shook off her eldest daughter-in-law who was supporting her, and walked a few steps to Hei Tuan. Seeing Hei Tuan's pale face, she cried out "Ouch!" and fell backward.
Thankfully, Du Dayong caught her, otherwise Old Lady Du would probably have fallen straight to the ground.
Her collapse caused quite a stir, and the entire Du family was thrown into chaos. Some helped Old Lady Du into the house, while others brought her water.
Yang Xiaolin, lying on the cold ground in excruciating pain, was pitiful and was almost selectively forgotten by the Du family.
It wasn't until Old Lady Du slowly woke up and asked about Xiao Lin that everyone remembered Yang Xiao Lin and hurriedly moved him back into the house.
At this time, villagers who wanted to watch the commotion also arrived. Seeing the Du family going to invite a doctor, they were extremely curious. Some gossipy people even asked what had happened to the Du family's daughter-in-law.
Apart from Old Madam Du, few people in the Du family liked Yang Xiaolin. The reason was quite simple: Old Madam Du's heart was completely devoted to him.
So they just casually said a few words. They didn't know what had happened, they only knew that he was sleeping soundly when he suddenly started screaming in the yard, which scared the old lady so much that she fainted.
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Good heavens! How could someone who's asleep just leave the room on their own? Is this Yang family child sick?"
Otherwise, how could someone as fierce as Grandma Du have been so frightened that she fainted?
Little did they know that Old Mrs. Du was not only frightened, but also heartbroken; otherwise, she wouldn't have asked her where her beloved grandson was as soon as she woke up.
But everyone was just there to watch the drama unfold; they weren't really going to ask what had happened. By the time the doctor came to examine Yang Xiaolin, everyone was still there.
Langzhong, who had been woken up from his bed by the Du family, was furious when he saw Yang Xiaolin's condition. He said, "This guy is perfectly fine. In the middle of the night, are you playing games with me?"
He said it, then turned and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
