Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 205 If the fighting continues, people will die.

Yang Wuni looked at Yang Deshan carrying firewood outside the window and glared at Zhang Changyao with a look of disgust.

"Wu Ni, I'm not crazy. I'm just worried about whether that thing is broken or not."

We only have one son, and we've given him back to Liao Zhi. If things don't go smoothly, what will we do in the future?

Zhang Changyao pulled the floral curtain closed on the window and was about to get up to pull Yang Wuni away.

"Zhang Changyao, what are you doing? Have you no shame?"

I don't know what got into him, but he's doing such shameful things without even thinking about it behind people's backs.

Yang Wuni got up and yanked open the window curtain, then shoved Zhang Changyao aside.

"Knock, knock, knock," Yang Deshan heard Wu Ni scolding Zhang Changyao, knocked a few times and came in.

"Wu Ni, it's not that your uncle wants to interfere in your affairs."

Can you please tone down your bad temper and stop swearing at people all the time?

Changyao has been up all night and you and Du Qiu have beaten him up like this. Why don't you just close the curtains and let him get some sleep?

How can a woman live a good life if she doesn't know how to cherish her man?

Yang Deshan grabbed Yang Wuni's arm and dragged her out of the house.

Then he went back inside, drew the curtains, picked up little Wenda, went out of the house, and closed the door.

"Uncle, from now on, please don't meddle in our affairs."

You can't expect men to provide ladders for people who want to fly to heaven, or dig wells for them when they want to go to the ground, can you?

Yang Wuni took Xiao Wenda from Yang Deshan's arms and stormed into the west room.

Zhang Changyao got up, pressed his head against the wall, and grabbed his pants with both hands.

I'm anxious and don't know what to do to find out if I'm still capable in any area.

After thinking for a long time without any ideas, he simply collapsed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and fell asleep.

Everyone had been up all night, and after dinner, they all lay down on the kang (heated brick bed) to catch up on sleep.

"You beast, you deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces, boiled in oil, and die a horrible death."

"You're trying to extort my brother, I'll report you to the authorities, and I'll make sure you get shot."

Around noon, shouts and curses could be heard coming from Hou Jiu's courtyard.

"It's Hou Liping's voice." Zhang Changyao was startled and jumped up.

Yang Deshan and Yang Wuni were already standing in the courtyard, listening to the commotion with their legs up.

"Uncle, Wu Ni, what's wrong?" Zhang Changyao rubbed his neck, which was a little sore from the wind.

"I don't know? It seems like Hou Liping was bullied, or it seems like someone is trying to extort money from Hou Jiu."

Yang Deshan straightened up from his position on the wall and turned to tell Zhang Changyao.

"Wu Ni, I'll go take a look."

Zhang Changyao heard a clanging and banging noise coming from Hou Liping's yard and went to see what was going on.

"Zhang Changyao, are you Mu Guiying? I can't help but pull you down?"

"You can't even manage your own family's affairs, yet you're meddling in other people's business?"

Yang Wuni frowned, not wanting Zhang Changyao to help Hou Liping.

Ever since Guo Erluzi mentioned that Zhang Changyao and Hou Liping were playing house and going into the woods.

Yang Wuni felt a deep-seated aversion to Hou Liping.

"Wu Ni, the neighbors live in the front and back yards, and Hou Jiu is here on my behalf."

"We're going to work at Brother Ga's house, is it really appropriate for us to just stand here and watch the show?"

Zhang Changyao walked up to Yang Deshan and gently touched him, hoping that he could put in a good word for him.

"Wu Ni, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. We can't stand by and watch Hou Jiu's family's misfortune."

"If you won't let Changyao go help, then you can go and take a look yourself."

Yang Deshan had a plan. The only way to prevent Zhang Changyao from going was to send someone else.

"I'm not going. There's no place for me here, no place for me to settle down."

Yang Wuni glanced at Zhang Changyao, then carried the child into the house.

"Wu Ni, you should still let Zhang Changyao go and take a look. Don't let someone die and you feel guilty."

You can't keep a man and woman in the dark forever; it's better to make it public.

Besides, if Zhang Changyao and Hou Liping were in trouble, they would have done so already.

"It's not like you'll have to wait until Zheng Meizhi and you have both been with him before he tries to take you away." Liao Zhi advised Yang Wuni from inside the house.

"Liao Zhi, I don't want to keep an eye on him, I'm just afraid of what people will say."

Everyone's craning their necks to watch the show, so why should our family interfere in other people's business?

No matter what Liao Zhi said, Yang Wuni refused to go into Yanjin. She held the child and leaned against the wall, her neck stiff.

"Wu Ni, listen to me, your Zhang Changyao doesn't care about Hou Liping."

If he had cared about Hou Liping, there wouldn't have been any later involvement between Zheng Meizhi and you.

Liao Zhi couldn't see Yang Wuni's expression, but continued to persuade her.

"Xiao Jiu, you've gotten yourself into a huge mess! What are we going to do now?"

In Hou Jiu's courtyard, Hou Liping was wailing and crying her heart out.

"Wu Ni, you should quickly send Zhang Changyao to check on her. If something really happens to Hou Liping, Zhang Changyao will hate you."

Liao Zhi was a little anxious and beckoned with his little finger, but no one noticed.

"Zhang Changyao, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go see what's going on!" Yang Wuni obediently pushed open the door and called to Zhang Changyao.

Zhang Changyao, who was anxiously wringing his hands, heard Yang Wuni's order.

He jumped over the wall of his own garden and ran to Hou Jiu's house.

In the courtyard, Hou Jiu held a broken shovel handle in his hand, his eyes blazing with anger.

Hou Liping held Hou Jiu tightly, her hair disheveled as if she had crawled into a woodpile.

There were several scratches on his face, and the blood seeping from his skin smeared his pale face with patches of blue and red, like a map.

The two children leaned against the doorway, their snot frozen solid, hanging as ice crystals from their noses.

A person was lying on their side on the ground, seemingly unconscious, stiff and silent.

"Hou Jiu, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone and get away with it?"

Zhang Changyao, who had just entered the yard, snatched the shovel handle from Hou Jiu's hand and threw it into the garden.

"Changyao, quickly help me hold Xiao Jiu, if this continues, someone will die."

Hou Liping pushed Hou Jiu, wanting Zhang Changyao to hug him instead of her.

"Hou Liping, let go of him. Let's see who goes to jail for him if he kills someone."

Zhang Changyao pried Hou Liping's hands off, telling her not to worry about Hou Jiu.

Hou Jiu indeed did not cause any more trouble and obediently leaned against the window without saying a word.

Hou Liping mustered her courage to check if the person on the ground, who looked like a blood gourd, was dead.

"Eighth Sister, come back here! What are you doing with that beast?" Hou Jiu shouted at Hou Liping.

"Little Nine, listen to your Eighth Sister, don't stay at home, run away quickly."

Go to your eldest sister's house or your second sister's house, the farther the better.

Even if we catch you, don't admit it; just say you don't know.

Nobody knows about this, so I'll just say I did it.

Your brother Changyao isn't an outsider; he can't betray the two of us.

If you were to pay for someone else's life because of me, even Eighth Sister wouldn't have time to kowtow to the Southern Heavenly Gate.

Hou Liping used all her strength to push Hou Jiu, trying to make him run away.

"Eighth Sister, I... I won't leave. I'm all alone. It doesn't matter where I am, I'll still be alive."

You still have two children to raise; they can't do without you.
