She yelled at him, "What are you? Do you even deserve me?"
"You rapist, you're not even a finger of Song Ze, not even a hair on his head! You're an animal!"
"Marry me? You're dreaming! Burn all this stuff and marry yourself! Get out! Get out of my house..."
Recalling these things, Xiang Nanzhi felt really stupid. How could she and Shen Shixun be considered married...?
"After I give birth to the baby, we'll have a wedding."
Xiang Nanzhi tiptoed and kissed him on the lips.
After giving birth, she will hold a grand wedding; she wants everyone to know that Shen Shixun is her man.
Perhaps because she was there, the food Gila made was more normal, without any unpalatable or overly flavorful dishes.
They ate and drank, made a bowl of oil tea, and the whole family enjoyed themselves immensely.
Shen's mother was very happy, but Xiang Nanzhi felt that she was not mentally stable, laughing one moment and crying the next.
She wanted to show concern, but seeing that everyone was ignoring it, she didn't know what to say. She didn't speak the language and was afraid of making a fool of herself.
Shen Shixun returned from herding cattle and sheep with Rooney, while his mother sat outside the tent in a daze.
Gila asked her, "Sister-in-law, would you like to come with me to exchange things?"
"Change what?"
"Change sheep!"
Jila knew many people on the grassland, and wherever she went, people would greet her. She would smile and say to everyone she met, "This is my sister-in-law, you've met her before."
The women all stared at her, walked around a large group of tents, and finally came to the outside of one tent. "Sister Alan, Sister Alan..."
A little while later, Alan came out. Now a married woman, Alan didn't seem as shrewish as when they first met.
She glanced at Xiang Nanzhi, her gaze unfriendly, but she didn't say anything.
The two exchanged a few words in Gong language. Alan led a half-grown lamb, with Xiang Nanzhi following beside her.
“I heard from Sehun that she got married.”
Gila nodded. "Yes, we're married."
"Who did you marry?"
"This one, and this one too, it seems Basang isn't here."
"I asked her who she married."
Gila said in broken Mandarin, "All three of them are."
Xiang Nanzhi stared in disbelief, “Three brothers?”
"Is it possible to do it this way?"
Jira nodded, looking at Nan Zhi's shocked expression, thinking she had said something wrong.
That's right, they are three brothers.
A cute little lamb followed the two of them. Xiang Nanzhi was dressed in the traditional clothing of the Gong ethnic group and was in a very good mood. She was no longer so disgusted by the strange looks the Gong women were giving her.
Soon after returning to her territory, Gila began to handle her knife. She was slender and thin, with little flesh on her body, but she was very strong, and the knife clanged as she handled it.
Once inside the enclosure, Gila grabbed the half-grown sheep she had just brought back. "Gila!"
Xiang Nanzhi was startled and, making the sheep bleat, rushed inside, asking, "What are you doing?"
Such a white and adorable sheep—she thought it was a pet. She even petted it a few times while walking on the grass, and seemed quite happy.
"Eat."
"It's still so small."
"Its meat is tender." Gila had specifically chosen a small lamb, thinking she would prefer it tender. "What, sister-in-law, do you prefer large lambs? Then I'll..."
"Can we not eat?"
“That won’t do, my brother loves eating lamb the most.”
It's not easy to come back, so I definitely need to get some good meat.
Xiang Nanzhi couldn't bear to kill the little lamb, nor could he bear to let Jila kill the big sheep. He felt sorry for it. Jila glanced at Xiang Nanzhi and couldn't help but laugh.
"Sister-in-law, look over there."
Following her gaze, Nan Zhi saw Gila raise her knife and slash with a loud clang. The sheep bleated, and blood gushed out like a fountain from its artery. Gila kicked the basin to collect the blood.
Xiang Nanzhi was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost couldn't stand up.
"Sister-in-law..."
How could Gila dare to kill a sheep? Xiang Nanzhi suddenly felt like crying. She touched the lamb's head. Blood was flowing from the lamb's neck, but it was still moving. Sheep are generally docile animals, and even when they are killed, they still move gently.
She touched the lamb's hoof, watching its eyes gradually glaze over, its head still gentle, and felt the smooth sheepskin through its wool.
This was the first time in her life she had ever seen a sheep being slaughtered. She always thought that only burly butchers dared to do things like slaughtering pigs and sheep, but she never expected that Gila would dare to do it too.
"That's all, it'll be quick, and it won't hurt at all."
Jira looked at Nan Zhipa and explained to her, "I sharpened the knife very fast."
It was already dead, and after a while it stopped moving completely. Xiang Nanzhi moved a stool over to watch Jira skin the lamb, revealing the tender mutton inside.
The meat was of excellent quality; the skinned lamb was still glistening...
Seeing this, Xiang Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he moved a stool and sat outside, a little further away.
The men in the distance were herding their cattle and sheep back. Walking on the grassland, they felt they had traveled a long way and done a lot that day, but all of this had only happened today.
The man had Rooney bring the cattle and sheep into the pen, then carried her into the tent.
Just as the man's kiss was about to land, Xiang Nanzhi shrank back, saying, "Don't do anything rash. There's no wall; they can hear everything."
He was just trying it out and didn't really intend to do anything. The two kissed for a while, and Xiang Nanzhi's face was red when he came out.
Gila and Rooney were tending to a sheep together. They cut off a large piece of the tenderest meat and served it to Shim Sehun before it was even on the table.
“Gila offered to let the snow lotus have a taste.”
