Seeing that Lin Xiang was sitting on the ground with his head down and not saying a word, Jiang Yuwei went up to him and kicked him, asking sharply:
"Answer me, yes or no!"
Lin Xiang was so frightened that he trembled and whispered:
"Yes, yes, my wife doesn't do any housework at home. Every day when I come back from working in the fields, the house is still cold and empty, waiting for me to come home before she can cook. She's even too lazy to take care of my son, Xiaobao. When the child is home alone, he eats dirt when he's hungry and drinks rainwater collected under the eaves when he's thirsty..."
Upon hearing Lin Xiang's words, Aunt Lin immediately burst into tears:
"Xiangzi, stop talking, stop talking. I'll go back with you, I'll go back with you right now. I was too selfish, I didn't consider your and Xiaobao's difficulties. I only thought of myself, I deserve to die!"
As she spoke, Aunt Lin began slapping herself repeatedly. Seeing this, Lin Xiang, who was sitting next to her, quickly grabbed Aunt Lin's hand and cried out:
"Mother, please don't hit me, please don't hit me! It's my fault for being unfilial. I didn't marry a good wife and I've ruined our family!"
As they spoke, the mother and daughter embraced and burst into tears. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei had no choice but to let them cry for a while and vent their emotions.
At this moment, when Zhu Tinglin heard that she was going back, her face darkened considerably. She looked up at Jiang Yuwei and sighed.
Jiang Yuwei then remembered that her master was still injured, so she quickly went over and helped him sit down on a stool, and then went into the house to find some medicine to stop the bleeding.
After bringing out the medicinal herbs, Jiang Yuwei first used the spiritual spring water to clean Miaoshou Zhu's wounds. Then, she mashed the herbs and applied them to Miaoshou Zhu's head before tearing off gauze to bandage him simply.
Seeing that Master Zhu's eyes were fixed on the crying Aunt Lin the whole time, Jiang Yuwei sighed helplessly, thinking that her master was also a good-for-nothing.
For the sake of her master's happiness in his later years, Jiang Yuwei went to Aunt Lin's side and helped her up. Then she looked at Lin Xiang and said:
“You can’t expect Aunt Lin to help you forever. As for having a child who has no one to take care of him, it’s not a big deal. After my master’s wife and master got married, they’ll be living in this courtyard. If things don’t work out, you can send the child over here and let my master’s wife look after him.”
As Jiang Yuwei helped Aunt Lin to sit down next to Master Zhu, she said:
"Anyway, your two families live close by. If you miss your child, come over and visit. You can also get a free meal while you're at it. As for your unlucky wife, don't bring her to my master and mistress. Otherwise, if the two sides start fighting, you'll be caught in the middle and it will be difficult for you."
Lin Xiang wiped away his tears after hearing this and nodded, saying:
"Okay, your idea works. My wife made me come here today. I really didn't want to come, but I waited until today."
As he spoke, Lin Xiang got up from the ground, looked at his mother, and said:
“Mother, I’m sorry for what I did to you before. I made you suffer because of me. Now that you’re with the skilled healer Zhu, I can rest assured. You two can live your lives in peace. You don’t need to worry about Cuiya. I’ll talk to her. If she still doesn’t understand things, then I’ll divorce her and marry someone else!”
Lin Xiang patted the dirt off his backside, turned around, and walked out of the yard.
"Mother, wait here. I'll go and bring over your clothes and belongings, and I'll also bring Xiaobao over. We can't let Xiaobao suffer with Cuiya anymore!"
After saying that, Lin Xiang walked out without looking back.
Aunt Lin then came to her senses and looked at Jiang Yuwei gratefully.
"Yuwei, thank goodness you came back in time, otherwise, I would have softened my heart and gone back to that hellhole!"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and looked at Aunt Lin.
“Master’s wife, now you and my master are a proper family. You can’t abandon him. Keep Xiao Bao by your side and raise him. It will be more lively in your courtyard if there is a child. As for Cuiya, just ignore her. Just like your son said, if you really can’t live with her, you can divorce her and remarry.”
Hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Aunt Lin's heart softened, and she nodded with a smile:
"Okay, Yuwei, you have your own ideas. Your master and I will listen to you."
As she spoke, Aunt Lin turned to look at the skilled healer Zhu, who was sitting beside her, chuckling foolishly, and said with heartache:
"I see your forehead is badly injured. Does it still hurt?"
Miraculous Healer Zhu held Aunt Lin's hand, smiled, and shook his head, saying:
"As long as you're by my side, I won't feel any pain!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei felt goosebumps rise all over her body and quickly interrupted Master Zhu, saying:
“Master, now that the marriage certificate has been obtained and everything is ready, I just checked the almanac and tomorrow is an auspicious day. If you ask me, let’s hold your wedding with your wife, Tiezhu and Daya together tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Master Zhu nodded repeatedly and said:
“Alright, let’s do it tomorrow. Otherwise, someone might try to take your master’s wife away. We can have a friendly get-together later, just like neighbors would. Your master’s wife and I are getting old and can’t handle any more trouble.”
Jiang Yuwei nodded in agreement. Just then, Tiezhu returned with Daya. Upon hearing Jiang Yuwei say that they could get married tomorrow, he excitedly hugged Daya and exclaimed:
"Da Ya, did you hear that? Sister Yuwei said we're getting married tomorrow."
Ning Daya also smiled and nodded, saying:
"I heard you, I'm not deaf, let go of me, there are so many people watching."
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei quickly turned her head to the side and laughed:
"I didn't see anything."
As she spoke, she pulled Ning Huaizhi into the house.
Ning Huaizhi smiled and looked at Jiang Yuwei, saying:
"Yuwei, I'm sorry. You've suffered because of me. I wasn't even there when we got married, and you ended up marrying me all by yourself without really understanding what was going on."
Jiang Yuwei helped Ning Huaizhi sit down, then put his cane aside and said:
"This is not your fault; you were unaware of it."
Ning Huaizhi watched Jiang Yuwei's busy figure and slowly said:
"Yuwei, how about we take advantage of Daya and the others' wedding and I hold a make-up ceremony for you too?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei turned around, glared at Ning Huaizhi, and said:
"Don't make things worse. What's the point of us old married couples doing this? We'll just make proper arrangements for the two couples tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Ning Huaizhi looked down at his legs and said:
“Yuwei, I definitely want to hold a wedding for you again. Why don’t you wait a little longer? Once we get to the capital, my leg will be fully healed, and I’ll earn some money to give you a grand wedding.”
