As they were talking, several days passed in the blink of an eye. Today was the day to deliver cakes. Yang Chunxiao packed the things early in the morning. The family members had things to do since early in the morning. Zhu Cuilan and Zhao He began to prepare things for Zhao Fangyu's wedding.
The Zhao family did not have any extra residential land, and their house was newly built not long ago. They only had one son, Zhao Fangyu, so there was no need to build a new house for weddings like others did.
The furniture in the house is actually not that old, but it has been used for several years, so there is no need to save money on this.
Zhao Fangyu can make money now, and Zhu Cuilan is confident enough. She chooses good things to buy. She has heard Zhao Luochuan say that if she marries Yang Donghu, the old things in the house will have to be taken away. She always feels that young people have more experience, so she asked Zhao Luochuan to take her to the carpenter's house.
Yang Donghu still remembered that the shopkeeper said that peach blossom cakes were not as popular as other cakes in hot weather, so he thought of making some steamed cakes to eat with tea. However, steamed cakes were different from peach blossom cakes. They could not be made by just kneading them with hands; they had to be shaped using a mold.
When he had this idea, he told Zhao Luochuan about it. The mold was not complicated. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Yang Donghu saw mooncakes being sold in the town. The shapes were all beautiful but they looked pretty much the same. He thought that if he could make some delicate changes to the mooncake mold, maybe the pastries would be more popular.
Unfortunately, there is a bricklayer and a hunter in the family. Zhao Fangyu can make two combs with wood but is not qualified to do anything else.
Zhao Luochuan couldn't bear to see him upset, so he said he could take him to the carpenter's house to ask if he could make it according to Yang Donghu's idea.
The bed and cabinets for the house are both big items, and they would cost at least several taels of silver. Zhu Cuilan couldn't make the decision on her own to spend such a large amount of money, so she had to ask Zhao He to go with her.
The thing is for Zhao Fangyu, so we can't just consider the price, we also have to see if it suits his taste, so he has to follow.
Zhao Fangchu had to join in such a big party. Originally, Zhu Cuilan didn't let him go, and asked him to stay at home to look after the old lady.
It was only when Yang Chunxiao said that he could do it alone and could go and come back quickly without delay to cook for the old lady at noon that Zhu Cuilan agreed to take Zhao Fangchu with her.
Yang Chunxiao has been living in the Zhao family for some time. She is a hardworking person and the Zhao family members are all nice to her. She feels that it is not good to live there for free, so she volunteered to deliver peach blossom cakes to the town several times.
It had been quite a while since the Liu family came to visit. Yang Chunxiao knew what her husband's family was thinking. They must have thought that the busy farming season was over, and if they hadn't come to visit before, there would be no need to look for her as a burden later.
Moreover, she has lived with Liu Tianyou for several years. The Zhao family is different from the Yang family. The men in the Zhao family are capable of handling things. Liu Tianyou is also a bully who only fears the strong and bullies the weak. He is not afraid of a difficult person like Wang Dujuan, but he is afraid of those with strong fists.
Yang Chunxiao was happy with her leisurely life and thought that it would be good to just live like this. She gradually became familiar with the owner of the restaurant and thought about asking him for a job so that she could support herself and not have to eat for free.
But she didn't expect that something unexpected would happen today. There were many peach blossom cakes delivered, so the cart was left for her to use. As soon as she left the village and got on the main road, she was caught by Liu Tianyou.
When Liu Tianyou heard that the Yang family had such a big change, he was so anxious that he wanted to hide, for fear that the Yang family would remember him as their son-in-law and drag his family into trouble.
During those days, he often paid attention to the movements of the Yang family, intending to close the door immediately as soon as he saw anyone from the Yang family, pretending that no one was there.
But after paying attention for a few days without any movement, Liu Tianyou found out that Yang Chunxiao had been taken away by the Zhao family. He felt that this was very strange and secretly inquired around Zhaojiazhuang.
In the past few years since he and Yang Chunxiao got married, he had never heard how close she was to the boy who was sold in the family. It could even be said that their family affection was very cold. Now that she couldn't go back to her parents' or her husband's family, why would the Zhao family bring such a burden back home for no reason?
Liu Tianyou still had some brains and knew to find out what happened to the Yang family on the day the incident happened. He always felt that there was some unspeakable secret between Yang Chunxiao and Yang Donghu, otherwise there would be no way to explain this matter.
Apart from anything else, the Zhao family now lives a much more comfortable life than the villagers. If it is possible to connect with his family through Yang Chunxiao, it seems to be a good idea.
Liu Tianyou waited for a few days, and today he finally got the chance. He immediately seized the opportunity and walked out from the dark.
"What? Are you surprised to see me?" Liu Tianyou stopped Yang Chunxiao, his eyes attracted by the things on the cart behind her.
Yang Chunxiao used to think that her husband's family was everything to her, but now that she has gotten into a dead end, she looks at herself as a fool.
She didn't pretend at all and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you come to see me?"
Liu Tianyou still thought Yang Chunxiao was the weak-willed person she used to be, and even imagined her begging him to go back. But now her behavior made him feel uneasy: "What are you talking about? You and I are husband and wife. What's wrong with me coming to you? If you don't tell me, I would still like to ask you, what are you doing in the Zhao family now? Aren't you afraid of gossip about you, a married woman in someone else's family?"
"Other people don't have as much free time as you. They haven't even finished their own housework, and yet they still have the time to criticize others. Didn't you say that last time? I don't need to visit your house anymore. Why do you care whose house I live in?"
Although there were not many things on the cart, what could be bad about the things brought from the Zhao family? Liu Tianyou was a little active in his thinking.
"I was just saying that in anger, can't you hear? We are one family, and I don't think I can get away with it if others say something bad about you? My mother is not in good health at home, and it's fine if you don't go back to help with the wheat harvest, but are you going to ignore your mother-in-law too?"
What Yang Chunxiao feared most was being harassed by the Liu family and causing trouble for the Zhao family. Seeing him staring at the car with his eyes rolling around, she wondered if he was up to something bad. She blocked Liu Tianyou's sight and spoke in an even more impatient tone.
"She's not my biological mother. Haven't you heard about the Yang family's affairs? Even my own mother was willing to sacrifice her own family for the sake of justice. How can you ask me to take care of an old woman who only knows how to bully me all day long? Aren't you afraid that I will be cruel and do something ruthless?"
Her words were harsh, and Liu Tianyou was furious: "Why have you become like this now? It's natural to be filial to your mother-in-law. Aren't you afraid that the villagers will poke you in the back?"
"Your family members beat and scold me all day long. I've had my scars all over my body seen by everyone. What are you afraid of? You two are so thick-skinned that you don't even worry about being criticized. Why should I be afraid? My dignity has long been completely wiped out by the purple scars. Don't use your reputation to pressure me. I don't need it."
"I don't care. The Zhao family kidnapped you, so they have to give me an explanation. If you're so sarcastic, I'll go find the Zhao family and tell them in person!"
