Since the Zou family has a weirdo like Zou Jinglan, it's not surprising that they have a few foul-mouthed relatives. They were talking about the previous rumors that Zhao Letong was possessed by some dirty thing, which is why he suddenly got better.
Mrs. Zhao smiled even brighter, but the coldness in her eyes deepened. "This is my mother-in-law's blessing. He suddenly got better on the anniversary of my mother-in-law's death. If this isn't my mother-in-law's blessing, what else could it be?
Our whole family went there to fulfill a vow and perform rituals. Madam Zou should know about it.
My aunt is just a little late in speaking, she knows everything. Children are just lazy sometimes, so people outside spread rumors about her.
You all saw that my aunt is a normal child. Don't just follow the crowd. Those who know you think you are kind-hearted, but those who don't think you just want to make fun of our Zhao family."
"No, how could that be?"
"That's the best. Don't bother mentioning my aunt on her wedding day. She's just a child and her body is weak. She can't stand the caress from so many of you."
Mrs. Zhao scolded her, and Mrs. Zou changed the subject, "Go see where the groom is? Tell the boys to take it easy and not block the way too much. It's making too much noise."
Zhang Zhao, the old groom, was in high spirits and looked ten years younger. He had already come to pick up the bride, but was stopped by a group of young people.
"Uncle, give me a red envelope. If you don't, I won't let you pass."
Zhao Letong stretched out his little hand and asked a group of boys for red envelopes. He refused them and used the money to buy candy.
"Okay, here you go. Everyone has a share."
The red envelopes were not big, just a few dozen coins. To celebrate, Zhao Letong gave them a few more and asked them to make way. On such a happy day, Zhang Zhao didn't want to bring bad luck.
"I wish my aunt and uncle a long and happy life together, and may they have a son soon."
Zhang Zhao, is it possible that this child can't get over the hurdle of having a baby soon?
Zhao Letong really meant well. Zhang Zhao was destined to have no sons, so he was destined to have a daughter. Even if Aunt Zou gave birth to a child, it would be a daughter. The looks of both of them indicated that they would end up without children and would live out their lives in misery.
They don't appreciate your kind wishes, you deserve to have no son to see you off in your later years.
Zhang Zhao waved his hand and sent them away. Later, there was a second wave of people blocking the way. Zhang Zhao felt inexplicably annoyed. If he had known that he could just carry the bride in a sedan chair and be done with it, why did they come to welcome the bride?
I was exhausted, but I managed to finish it myself. Zou Jinglan was also helped out. She was wearing a green wedding dress and holding a fan to cover her face. Her heavy makeup looked good.
[It's a good thing Dad didn't marry Aunt Zou. If she looks like this, wouldn't she have nightmares if we shared a bed together?]
Zhao Youning pulled her and said, "Let's go to the banquet. The banquet will start as soon as the bride is picked up. If we go too late, there will be no place to sit."
[Okay, let’s have a feast. Let’s have a feast. I can eat a whole table.]
"Aunt, we're out here, you can't eat that much. People will think you're a monster and burn you to death."
Zhao Youning is young and is very good at coaxing children. Zhao Letong was speechless. Does she still need her fifth nephew to coax her?
[That's right. If someone sees me and says I eat too much, let's find a place where they can't see me.]
Zhao Youning was confused and followed her to the kitchen. He squatted under the table and the busy chefs couldn't see them.
They secretly took down plate after plate and ate them, picking out the delicious ones. No one noticed that the food was missing until the dishes were served.
Zhao Letong ate more than a dozen plates of delicious dishes by himself. The Zou family was also very proud. Chicken stewed with donkey-hide gelatin, sea cucumber with scallions, yellow croaker braised in sauce, and lamb chops stewed in clear sauce were all precious dishes. Zhao Letong ate them with a delicious taste and they were very nutritious. It was also a good thing that Aunt Zou married into a good family and could eat so many delicious dishes.
Zhao Youning kept an eye on her, so that if they were discovered, they would run away early.
"I'm full. Let's go, nephew. Aunt Zou, please marry more often so I can eat more. This feast is really good."
"Auntie does think so, but someone has to be willing."
Zhao Youning wiped his aunt's mouth, acting like a little brother and taking good care of her. Zhao Letong felt sorry for his nephew. "Aunt, I will definitely protect you. Whatever you want to do, your nephew will be able to achieve your dreams and live a happy life."
"Thank you, aunt. Let's go quickly. They're about to serve the food. If we get caught, my great-grandmother will eat people."
Yes, that old woman is scary.
Zhao Letong and he were walking along the path when they suddenly heard a woman crying. The sound was vague and mournful, like that of a female ghost, which was very creepy.
"Who's crying?"
[Don't be afraid, nephew. He's a human, not a ghost. He doesn't have any negative energy. Go and take a look.]
"I'm glad it's not a ghost. Your crying is really creepy."
The two followed the sound of crying and found a girl. Zhao Youning said, "Isn't this Aunt Zou's daughter? I've seen her before. Why is she crying here?"
[Just ask. She has a deathly look on her face. She says there will be a great disaster today. If she can't get through it, she will die.]
"You have to ask. After all, it's a human life."
The two of them ran out, seemingly playing around unintentionally, and bumped into her. "Isn't this your aunt? Why are you crying here? Who bullied you?"
Zhao Youning called her "Auntie," while Zhao Letong simply called her "Cousin Sister." Too lazy to speak, she tilted her head and looked at her curiously, her eyes suddenly widening in surprise. "How could this be? Her face shows signs of having children. She must be pregnant."
Zhao Youning was also surprised. How could Aunt Zou’s daughter have a child when she is not married yet?
This is not something that they, as kids, can handle. Zhao Youning wants to leave.
Tao Yu wiped her tears and said, "I'm fine. Go play. I'm worried you might fall."
She also took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Zhao Letong's face. Although there was a look of helplessness and panic between her brows, she was also kind and gentle, without the domineering and shrewdness of Zou Jinglan.
Zhao Letong sighed inwardly, "This cousin has a miserable life, but she's actually a good person. Fifth nephew, let's go and find someone to help us."
She is a child and no one will believe what she says, so she can only ask for help.
She took out some candy from her purse and stuffed it into Tao Yu's mouth. "Cousin, eat some candy. No matter what happens, live well."
Tao Yu's heart trembled. Zhao Letong's deep eyes seemed to be able to see through her. Subconsciously, she realized that Zhao Letong had already run far away.
Mrs. Zhao was busy with social engagements, so she could only ask Zhao Youxi for help. He was the eldest nephew in the family and was old enough to be an adult.
[Nephew, something happened, urgent help needed.]
Zhao Youxi was bragging with a group of young people. He was a show-off and liked to be in a lively atmosphere.
After hearing what Zhao Letong said, he left everyone else and looked for her, "Aunt, what's wrong? What happened?"
This matter is not easy to handle. Human life is at stake. You can't do it yourself. You need to seek help from someone, preferably a woman.
"Tell me first, what is it that I can't do? I'm not bragging, as long as it doesn't involve murder or arson, I can do it."
My cousin Tao Yu is pregnant and facing a life-or-death crisis. Can you help?
“Ah, this…”
Tao Yu wasn't married yet, and she was a relative with little presence. Zhao Youxi didn't expect her to do such a big thing without saying anything. He shook his head and said, "This thing really can't be done."
