Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 194 A Muddled and Blind Game

Following behind the crowd, Wang Shuqin took a few steps to stand in front of Wang the matchmaker, looking at her with a displeased expression.

"Yutian's wife, what are you doing?"

Wang Fugui was caught off guard and panicked.

She stumbled over, nearly falling, clutching the newly laid-out blanket.

"Wang Fugui, let me ask you this: when your family gets married, you don't leave a single penny for the groom's family?"

My mother-in-law gave all the money back to you. Are you trying to get a daughter-in-law for free?

Wang Shuqin straightened up and looked down at Wang Fugui, who was half a head shorter than her.

Guan Lin and Li Yue'e, inside the house, peered out the window, unaware of what was happening outside.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you are the elders, please tell us."

Am I, Wang Fugui, that kind of person? When did I ever think I could get a wife for free?

Wang Fugui turned to look at everyone, suppressing his temper.

"Wang Fugui, Yutian's wife is right, your family has to pay some money too."

Your father-in-law taking the money back means his family is generous.

Your family can't just bully people because they're honest; you should give them what they deserve.

Yutian's wife is blocking him from getting on the bus. You, as his brother-in-law, should hurry up and pay.

Guan Shu, limping on one leg, came over to support Wang Shuqin.

"You're good for nothing but causing trouble, all you do is mess things up and play around all day."

Yutian's wife doesn't understand human language, and neither do you.

"If we delay any longer, it'll be noon, and then how will we get married?"

"Changyao, come here and hand me that wooden stick on the ground. I'll break his other leg."

They have absolutely no humanity left, yet they're living life to the fullest.

Zhang Shuhua, holding the child, found it inconvenient to bend over, so she pointed to the stick on the ground and called out to Zhang Changyao.

Zhang Changyao didn't pick up the stick on the ground; instead, he turned around and hugged the little boy in Zhang Shuhua's arms.

Zhang Shuhua reached out and picked up a wooden stick, about the thickness of a child's arm, from the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Guan Shu limped out of the gate.

Wang Shuqin, heavily pregnant, relied on the fact that no one dared to touch her.

He continued to block the car, reaching out his hand to ask Wang Fugui for money.

Wang Fugui touched his shirt pocket and found only a few coins.

Not daring to borrow from others, he could only hold the coins in his hand, his eyes darting around until they were practically smoking, completely at a loss.

Guan Yuxiu, who couldn't speak, tried to take the money from her waistband from her coat pocket, but Wang the matchmaker held her hand down.

"Yuxiu, a new bride is not allowed to take out any of her belongings before entering her husband's house."

"Wang Fugui, I see that your shirt pockets are full of money."

"Go to the side right now, take all the money out of your pockets and give it to Yutian's wife."

Yang Wuni is full of clever ideas, and she came up with a good solution in a flash.

He winked at Wang Fugui, and Wang Fugui immediately understood.

"Yutian's wife, this money is meant to be given to my father-in-law for drinking after we get on the bus."

If you can't wait for Yuxiu to get on the bus, I'll give it to you now.

"It's all going to the Guan family anyway, so it doesn't matter who gets it."

As Wang Fugui walked towards the wall, he pretended to rummage through his shirt pocket.

"Wang Fugui, you stay right here, why are you going to the wall?" Wang Shuqin continued to stretch out her hand without moving.

"Yutian, your wife doesn't want your sister's money for drinks, go and pick her up."

Take this money to your parents inside; it's for their drinking money.

Yang Wuni retorted, while Guan Yutian stood there dumbfounded, grinning as he watched the spectacle.

"Hehe! My brother-in-law is the best at giving money to my parents for drinking."

Guan Yutian strode over to Wang Fugui to collect the money.

Wang Shuqin was not about to let the opportunity slip away, and she quickly got ahead of Guan Yutian.

As soon as Yang Wuni saw Wang Shuqin leave, she quickly helped Guan Yuxiu into the car.

The driver of the carriage was Wang Fugui's uncle, and he saw Guan Yuxiu get on the carriage.

He quickly cracked the whip and sped away from Guan Lin's house.

The remaining carriages waited patiently at the door, watching Wang Fugui.

"Oh no! This pocket is leaking! Where's my money? I've lost all my money!"

Wang Fugui pulled the lining of his satchel out and searched the ground in circles.

"Hurry up and get on the bus! If you keep acting like this, the cucumbers will get cold."

The driver was Wang Fugui's brother-in-law, who was cracking his whip and calling out to Wang Fugui.

"Honey, your brother-in-law lost his money, so let's just forget about it."

"Let's get in the car quickly, or the good food will get cold."

Guan Yutian took Wang Shuqin's hand and started walking towards the car.

"You idiot, all you know is eating. I'm not going to embarrass myself with you. Go by yourself."

"That big, burly guy only has one thing on his mind: food. Why don't you choke to death?"

Wang Shuqin shook off Guan Yutian's hand and strode back into the house.

"Auntie, let's go. It's better if she doesn't go; it'll save everyone from being unable to eat because of her."

Zhang Changyao carried the child in one arm and helped Zhang Shuhua into the car with the other.

Guan Yutian saw that his wife was unhappy and was afraid that it would delay his own banquet.

Standing there ambiguously, unsure of what to do.

"Yutian, hurry up and get in the car, or we'll leave you behind."

Yang Wuni patted the empty space between herself and Guan Yushan.

"Okay! If she doesn't want to go, she doesn't have to. I'll bring her some broccoli after I finish eating."

Guan Yutian got into the car, muttering to himself, still thinking about how his wife wouldn't be able to eat.

The carriage entered Wang Fugui's courtyard, while the carriage carrying Guan Yuxiu and Wang the matchmaker was still waiting at the door of the outer room.

Wang Fugui didn't even wait for the train to come to a complete stop before jumping off and running over to carry Yuxiu off the train.

Wang Fugui's two bridal rooms had a blue stone wall, and the rooms were crowded with people.

Wang Fugui's parents, holding the money meant for their new daughter-in-law's change of address, grinned as they waited for Yuxiu to call them "father" and "mother."

The quilt on the kang (heated brick bed) was made of red and green silk, and was embroidered with dragons, phoenixes, gold threads, and gold scales.

The coins in the lucky basin jingled as Yuxiu grabbed a handful and handed them to Yang Wuni beside her.

Zhang Shuhua said that whoever receives this money will be blessed with good fortune.

Yang Wuni wiped the money dry on her clothes and stuffed it into Xiao Douzi's shirt pocket.

Little Douzi covered his pocket, raised his little mouth, and insisted on kissing Yang Wuni on the face.

Wang Fugui's father, as expected of the production team leader, was indeed very wealthy.

The wedding banquet consists of eight main dishes: chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

Four Happiness Meatballs, Pork Stew, Braised Pork Slices, and Braised Pork Ribs are all served in large bowls or basins.

Guan Yutian stared at him, his eyes wide and his saliva dripping uncontrollably.

Yang Wuni had never seen such a sumptuous meal before. Not knowing whether it was for her to eat or to take home, she dared not touch her chopsticks.

"Yuxiu, you can only eat after you've taken a bite."

Zhang Shuhua nudged Guan Yuxiu, who was still bowing her head and shedding tears.

"Okay!" Guan Yuxiu obediently picked at each dish.

"Grandma, if my sister has touched the food, then I can eat it too, right?"

Guan Yutian held his chopsticks in mid-air, waiting for Zhang Shuhua to give the order.

This silly child's greatest strength is also his weakness; he's too obedient.

"Eat up! Eat up! We're your family, so eat as much as you want. We'll even give you more if you're not full."

Zhang Changyao picked up the dishes closest to him and put them into Yang Wuni's bowl one by one.

Yang Wuni didn't dare to look up, afraid that others would see the greed in her eyes, and ate heartily while holding the bowl.

"Hey! Wang Fugui, do you have a big basin? Find me one."

I took all the leftovers home in a basket for my wife to eat.
