Su Yuehua's suppressed anger suddenly rose up, and she glared at him and cursed back, "Who are you? You come to my house so early in the morning to give orders. I have never seen an elder who knows the rules. You come to my house at seven o'clock to stir up trouble between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
"You little bitch, who are you scolding? Today I must teach you some manners on behalf of your mother-in-law." Ding Guihua was so angry that she raised her hand to hit Su Yuehua.
Just then, Shen Chengyi came back from outside. He reached out and grabbed Ding Guihua's raised wrist, and said with a dark face: "Aunt Guihua, you came to my house and beat my wife so early in the morning. Do you think there is no one in our old Shen family?"
"Cheng, Chengyi, you're back." Ding Guihua was somewhat timid of Chengyi. She stuttered when she saw him come out.
"Humph." Su Yuehua snorted coldly, with sarcasm in her voice, "She didn't see that your old Shen family has no one left, she just disliked me for blocking her daughter's way."
As soon as Ding Guihua came out of the main house just now, Su Yuehua guessed her identity from the fact that she looked 50% similar to Wang Yanhong.
Shen Chengzhong, who walked in behind Shen Chengyi, said to Ding Guihua with a serious face: “Aunt Guihua, our family has made it clear before that my brother and your Yanhong are impossible. Now that he is married, it is even more impossible.”
"You, your Shen family is too bullying." Ding Guihua knew that she could not win the argument with the Shen family alone, so she was so angry that she left a lot of words and ran away from the Shen family's courtyard.
Su Yuehua was offended so early in the morning, and it was New Year's Day. How could she be in a good mood? She took out her anger on Shen Chengyi.
Seeing Su Yuehua glaring at him, Shen Chengyi explained knowing that he was in the wrong: "I just went to worship the ancestors with my eldest brother and cousin. I don't know Wang Yanhong at all, and I didn't know Aunt Guihua came to our house."
Shen Xiaohu stood beside Su Yuehua and nodded vigorously, "Second Aunt, I can testify for Second Uncle. He did go to worship the ancestors with us, but I don't know whether he is familiar with Aunt Yanhong. Anyway, as soon as Second Uncle comes back, Aunt Yanhong likes to come to our house."
“Shen Xiaohu, what nonsense are you talking about.” Shen Chengyi’s eyes widened with anger, and he almost shouted through gritted teeth.
Li Yumei picked up Shen Xiaohu's ears and dragged him to the main house, "What nonsense are you talking about all day long? Why do you interrupt your second uncle and your second aunt when they are talking?"
"Mom, please be gentle. You're almost pulling my ears like a rabbit."
Su Yuehua held back her laughter, watching the naughty boy Shen Xiaohu being punished by Li Yumei, and she felt a little gloating in her heart.
But Shen Chengyi was directly frightened. He didn't know what Su Yuehua was thinking and thought she would still be angry!
He cleared his throat and said, "Xiaohu, the child knows nothing, don't listen to him."
"If I don't listen to him, should I listen to you? I think children's words are much more credible than adults'." Su Yuehua didn't know why, but she wanted to see the look on his face when he wanted to explain but couldn't.
“I…” Shen Chengyi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Yumei’s shout, “Yuehua, the dumplings are cooked, come and have breakfast.”
“I’m here, sister-in-law.” Su Yuehua raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Chengyi, and responded.
As soon as Su Yuehua walked into the main house, she saw the dumplings on the kang table still steaming. The whole family was sitting around the table, waiting for her and Shen Chengyi to start eating.
"Mom." She called out and sat down on the kang.
Shen Chengyi followed and sat next to her.
"Yuehua, eat quickly. We still need to collect firewood later." Bai Xiuying said, and picked up a dumpling and put it in the bowl in front of her.
"Collecting firewood?" Su Yuehua thought that the firewood piled in the Shen family's courtyard would be enough to burn until the beginning of spring. She didn't understand why Bai Xiuying had to go collect firewood on New Year's Day.
Li Yumei swallowed the dumplings she was chewing and explained to her, "Picking firewood actually means picking up wealth. It's for good luck, hoping that the new family can make more money. In the early years, the custom in our village was to steal firewood on the night of the 30th. This kind of thing was to seek good luck. No one would be happy if their firewood was stolen, and some even reported it to the village chief."
"Finally, the village chief changed the custom of stealing firewood to having the whole village go together to collect firewood on New Year's Day. Gradually, this has become a custom in our village. After all, every family wants good luck."
It was the first time Su Yuehua heard of this, but she thought it was quite interesting. She nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll go with you later."
The family quickly finished their breakfast, packed up, and just as they walked out of the yard, they saw Wang Yanhong and her daughter.
Wang Yanhong also saw Su Yuehua, her eyes full of resentment.
Li Yumei was walking behind Su Yuehua and happened to see the look Wang Yanhong gave her. After the others left, she pulled Su Yuehua with a displeased look on her face and whispered, "I really don't know why Wang Yanhong has become like this now. I guess she learned it from her mother."
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to what my little tiger says. Chengyi joined the army at the age of seventeen. It's good for him to come home every two or three years. This is all wishful thinking on the part of the Wang family."
"You know, Chengyi is already 24 years old. In the countryside, at this age, he would already be the father of two children. My mother is worried about his marriage and often talks to me about it. I don't know where Wang Yanhong's mother heard about it, so she took the initiative to find my mother and talk about Chengyi and Wang Yanhong meeting."
Su Yuehua knew who it was without even thinking about it. She said nothing and just listened to Li Yumei continue talking.
"In fact, my mother has never liked Wang Yanhong's mother, but it was difficult to reject her directly, so she said she would ask Chengyi later to see if he had a girlfriend in the army. Who would have thought that the next day the whole village would spread the rumor that Chengyi and Wang Yanhong were together. For this, I even had a fight with those gossipy women in the village."
The Shen family lived in the middle of the village. The two followed their family for a while before they reached the foot of the mountain.
At this time, many villagers had gathered at the foot of the mountain. Some of the villagers who arrived early had already collected firewood and were walking back.
Bai Xiuying symbolically picked up two branches from the ground, turned around and said to Su Yuehua and Li Yumei behind her: "Yuehua, Yumei, just pick up two branches and go home."
"Mom, I got it." The slightly thicker firewood at the foot of the mountain had all been picked up by the villagers who arrived early, and the remaining firewood was not even as thick as a little finger!
Su Yuehua looked at him with some disgust, and she followed Shen Chengyi up the hillside.
It had snowed two days ago, so the way up the mountain was not easy to walk on. But today was the big day for the whole village to go out to collect firewood, and we managed to make a way up the mountain.
After the two of them picked up the firewood and walked back, Shen Chengyi took the initiative to reach out to help Su Yuehua get it.
Su Yuehua dodged it directly.
This is not ordinary firewood, this is picked up wealth, how could Su Yuehua ask Shen Chengyi to help take it home!
After experiencing time travel, Su Yuehua had to believe in many things.
But Shen Chengyi didn't know what she was thinking, and thought she was angry because of what happened this morning.
"Yuehua, there is nothing going on between Wang Yanhong and me. Since I married you, I will definitely treat you well and respect you."
