Chapter 141 Tiger Boy, Can't Wait for People to Leave
Guan Lin was rebuked by Zhang Changyao, and only then did he realize his mistake and quickly steer the conversation back on track.
"Uncle, you don't need to worry. After I marry Yuxiu, I'll let her manage everything."
I'm a rough person. My dad always says I'm all brawn and no brains.
Only a woman like Yuxiu can help me take good care of the house.
If I marry Yuxiu, I'll work my ass off to make money, and she can spend it however she wants.
Wang Fugui didn't turn around, but shook his big head as he spoke.
"Wang Fugui, if you ever dare to treat my sister badly again, I'll go to your house and set it on fire."
Because Guan Yutian had Guan Lin and Zhang Changyao by his side, he dared to speak loudly to Wang Fugui.
"Yutian, if I dare to treat Yuxiu badly, you can slap me across the face."
It's perfectly normal for a brother-in-law to beat his sister-in-law.
"If I, Wang Fugui, were to fight back, I would be a bastard, and may be struck by lightning."
Wang Fugui raised one hand and said confidently.
Once inside the village, everyone stopped talking and stared at Guan Lin.
Guan Lin pointed to the most dilapidated mud house on the edge of the village and told Wang Fugui to drive the carriage into the yard.
The courtyard was deserted and quiet; there was no sign of a daughter getting married.
"Second brother, why doesn't this family have any relatives or friends?"
Zhang Changyao jumped out of the car and carefully looked around the yard.
An old hen was perched on a withered tree in the yard.
Startled by the people who entered, it flapped its wings and flew out of the yard.
"Changyao, Shuqin's mother is panting heavily and can't get out of bed."
His father was a heavy drinker who borrowed money all day to buy alcohol, and would buy on credit when he ran out of money.
No one in the entire village dared to get close to their family.
If I hadn't been passing through this village last year while dealing in liquor, I wouldn't have known their family.
"Her father borrowed fifty catties of liquor from me on credit, and I haven't gotten a single penny back yet," Guan Lin whispered to Zhang Changyao.
"Why don't you come inside?" A simple, honest voice came from inside the house.
"Fugui, you watch the car. Yutian, Changyao, the three of us will go in and take a look."
Guan Lin waved his hand when he heard that the people inside were invited in, and the group went inside together.
The house was fairly clean, but the outer room was much lower than the courtyard.
Zhang Changyao stepped inside and almost tripped and fell flat on his face, as if he were going down into a cellar.
"Guan Lin, I'm telling you again, you can't go back on your promise to me. I'm going to be the head of your household."
They gave me all the money in the house to manage, and even built me a new house.
"Shuqin, there are several outsiders here, so watch your words."
Whatever you say goes. I, Guan Lin, will never go back on my word.
Hurry up and get on the bus, otherwise it will be unlucky if we miss the morning.
"Yutian, go and cover your wife's head with her veil, then take her hand and get into the car."
Guan Lin isn't waiting for you anymore. Wang Shuqin interrupted her as soon as she finished speaking.
He winked and gestured to her, trying to stop her from continuing.
Wang Shuqin shut her big mouth and started digging her face with a fork-like motion, her hair sticking out as big as a hair sticking out.
A thick layer of smoke powder was applied, and a layer of white paint fell off the hem of the coat.
The two big bulls glared at Guan Lin, their eyes bulging.
Guan Yutian placed a red veil over Wang Shuqin's head, who had her hair styled in the No. 5 style, and helped her down to the ground.
Her sudden movement startled Zhang Changyao.
This person is even larger than Li Yue'e.
Aside from their slightly different face shapes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both the same size.
Wang Shuqin's mother lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), so thin and frail that she couldn't even support the blankets.
As she watched her daughter leave the house to get married, a few tears welled up in her sunken eyes.
The withered old man lying next to her was hunched over, snoring loudly.
Before leaving, Guan Lin took out ten yuan from his coat pocket and stuffed it under Wang Shuqin's mother's pillow.
"Guan Lin, you must treat Shuqin well. She is wholeheartedly devoted to following you. You should know that."
"Mother won't live much longer. Remember to bring Shuqin back to pay respects at her grave."
Wang Shuqin's mother held Guan Lin's hand, giving him some worried instructions.
Guan Lin pushed away Wang Shuqin's mother's hand and glanced at Zhang Changyao with embarrassment.
Zhang Changyao pretended not to hear anything and followed Guan Yutian out of the house.
On the way back, none of them dared to speak, for fear of saying the wrong thing and causing trouble.
Once inside the courtyard, Wang Shuqin, being quite sensible, knew her place.
They followed Guan Yutian into the west room, their new room.
Even if you don't prepare anything, you'll still inevitably have neighbors coming to help.
Everyone started eating and drinking, talking about bizarre things, and they didn't want to leave.
Several young people were waiting to make a ruckus in the wedding night, and they waited anxiously until it was almost dark.
Just as everyone finished their last cup of tea and were preparing to go home, the sound of a teacup shattering came from the bridal chamber.
People strained to listen, even holding their breath as still as possible.
"That brat, he doesn't know how to cause trouble after everyone leaves, he's making a fool of himself."
Guan Lin leaned against the wall, his face ashen, staring desperately at the door of the west room.
Just when everyone thought that was the end of it and was about to turn around and leave.
Those who had just caught their breath heard the sound of teacups and tea bowls being smashed on the ground.
Not knowing whether to leave or stay, I stood awkwardly at the door.
Fortunately, Yuxiu and Wang Fugui were not inside the house, but chatting in the carriage outside the courtyard.
The children in the house, hearing the sound of things being smashed, thought Guan Yutian and Wang Shuqin were fighting.
They huddled together in the corner like frightened birds, no longer daring to be mischievous.
The new house was already quite lively without anyone making a fuss; everyone knew exactly what was going on.
People were too embarrassed to look at each other, keeping their heads down, unsure whether to sit or walk.
I awkwardly stopped in my seat, suppressing my curiosity.
When the noise finally stopped, people ran away from Guan Lin's house without even saying goodbye.
Zhang Changyao's face was still burning when he got home, and he went straight to the water tank.
I picked up the water ladle and gulped down half a ladle of cold water before I felt a little better.
"What's wrong?" Yang Wuni asked as she came out of the house after hearing the noise.
"Nothing, I'm just feeling really hot inside, so I'm drinking some cold water to cool down."
Zhang Changyao peeked at Liao Zhi, then went back to the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room and looked longingly at Yang Wuni.
"Zhang Changyao, what are you doing?"
Yang Wuni scratched her scalp with the awl she used for sewing shoe soles.
"Aren't you going to do anything? I'm worried you'll get tired from working. How about we take a nap?"
Zhang Changyao snatched the shoe soles and needle and thread from Yang Wuni's hands and placed them on the windowsill.
They haphazardly tore off the mattress and quilt and spread them on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Those who hadn't lost their minds helped Yang Wuni lie down on the mattress and covered her with a blanket.
"Zhang Changyao, what's wrong with you today? You're burning up. Do you have a cold and a high fever?"
I'll go get some liquor from the ground and rub your back.
Yang Wuni touched Zhang Changyao's forehead, becoming worried.
"Not so great? Wu Ni, I just want to be with you..."
