Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 226 Strange and Unusual Things

Yang Wuni and Yang Deshan, father and son, were talking even more enthusiastically than Liao Zhi and Zhang Changyao.

"Liao Zhi, I've thought about it, and I think these two methods can be combined to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Zhang Changyao had a sudden inspiration and came up with a plan, which he explained to the three of them in detail.

"Haha! Hou Jiu got lucky. He probably never dreamed that such a great windfall would fall from the sky and land on his head."

Yang Deshan and Liao Zhi both agreed with Zhang Changyao's approach.

"Zhang Changyao, Liao Zhi, I'm wondering if your method could be to use Brother Du Qiu instead of Hou Jiu."

Du Qiuge is also a person, and he is about the same age as Miao Yu.

Moreover, Du Qiu's mother also wanted him to find a woman with good character and money.

Yang Wuni saw that it was a good thing, but she felt that it would be a waste for the opportunity to fall on Hou Jiu, who was an unrelated person.

"Wu Ni, it's not that Liao Zhi and I don't value this opportunity for Du Qiu to make a fortune."

A woman like Miao Yu is too much for Du Qiu's weak and escapist nature to handle.

Don't let Hou Jiu's age fool you; he's young, but he's bold, decisive, and clear-headed.

For someone from a family like his, the chances of him getting married normally were slim, so this was a chance for him to turn his life around.

We must succeed on the first try. We can't just use someone as an experimenter and then switch if it doesn't work out. It's that simple.

Without Miao Yu knowing that we were plotting against her, we brought her and Hou Jiu together.

This way, Miao Yu was saved, and Hou Jiu was also lifted into the sky – a win-win situation.

Zhang Changyao broke open the bun to talk about the filling, explaining the success or failure of the matter to Yang Wuni.

To prevent her from being unaware of the facts, losing her temper, and ruining the whole thing.

"Oh! Okay then! You and Liao Zhi decide, I... I don't understand." Yang Wuni lowered her head with a somewhat dejected expression.

"Wu Ni, Sha Dunzi is going to marry Ma Pengsheng, then you'll have fellow villagers to play with."

Zhang Changyao had mentioned this before, but neither Yang Wuni nor Yang Deshan reacted, so he curiously repeated it.

"A simpleton marrying a stable boy? Men and men? Can they even get married?"

Yang Wuni immediately perked up, her big eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

"Changyao, you're talking nonsense. Ma Pengsheng isn't short of a father, why bring back a mentally challenged boy to serve him?"

Yang Deshan stopped twisting tobacco leaves and said to Zhang Changyao with a half-smile.

"Wu Ni, Uncle, you really didn't know that Sha Dunzi is a girl?"

Zhang Changyao got excited, snatched Yang Deshan's tobacco basket, and carried it on his back.

"This Wang Fengxian is no ordinary person. She not only deceived my brother, but also harmed Wu Ni."

She even fooled her own family; that's truly insidious.

When Yang Deshan heard about this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Uncle, judging from your words and tone, there's more to this than meets the eye?"

Liao Zhi was most interested in hearing these strange and unusual stories, so he quickly inquired about them.

"This is a long story, let me roll a cigarette and tell you slowly."

When Wang Fengxian got married, she was a slender young woman, neither particularly beautiful nor ugly.

She has three sisters-in-law in her husband's family, and she is the youngest and the most ostracized.

The eldest and second eldest sons both had babies, one after another.

Wang Fengxian gave birth to a daughter as soon as she entered the family. Because the older generation did not give money or land for having a daughter, her husband often beat her.

This eldest daughter died just a month after birth, for reasons unknown.

She gave birth to her second child, also a girl, but she died before she was a month old.

The sisters-in-law and their parents-in-law all lived in the same courtyard, and over time they began to suspect something was amiss.

Later, I heard from some sheep herders on the mountain that the two children Wang Fengxian abandoned died under suspicious circumstances.

The shepherd's words reached Wang Fengxian's mother-in-law's ears, and she gathered her family together.

They wanted to force Wang Fengxian to reveal whether this matter was true or false.

Wang Fengxian was beaten bloody by her brother-in-law, but she still insisted that she didn't know how her child died.

A few days after that, she started performing shamanistic rituals to treat people's illnesses.

As you all know, people in our rural area are afraid of ghosts and spirits, so no one dares to confront her directly.

As my in-laws get older, their health deteriorates day by day.

Dividing the family property became the most important thing for the three sisters-in-law.

Because of this, Wang Fengxian's man was constantly finding fault with her.

Strangely enough, when her parents-in-law were dying, Wang Fengxian gave birth to a mentally challenged child.

Strangely, the very next morning after Shadunzi was born, the midwife who delivered Wang Fengxian died on the kang (a heated brick bed).

Everyone said that the silly boy was unlucky, so no one dared to approach him.

When Wang Fengxian's parents-in-law saw that she had given birth to a son, they naturally divided the family property into three parts.

"That must be why Sha Dunzi was always raised as a boy." Yang Deshan couldn't help but let out a long sigh after saying that.

"Uncle, according to what you're saying, this Wang Fengxian is really something else."

If she can even harm her own flesh and blood, you really should stay away from her.

Zhang Changyao couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, even though he had originally been quite concerned about Shadunzi's matter.

Now I wish I could turn back time and ruin the whole thing between Ma Pengsheng and Shadunzi.

"Zhang Changyao, we can't judge a person based on a single instance."

What your uncle said is just hearsay; you haven't seen the facts with your own eyes.

To write something truly effective, you need to ask the person directly.

I believe that no matter how ruthless a woman is, she would never kill the child she gave birth to.

At most, I'll raise her, but if she doesn't do what I want, I'll beat or scold her.

But I would never kill her while she was still in her poop bag.

You absolutely need to get this straight; it's such a great topic.

Zhang Changyao, you absolutely must ask Wang Fengxian what exactly happened.

Liao Zhi excitedly raised one hand, nudged Zhang Changyao beside him, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Wu Ni and Yang Deshan stared blankly at what was behind Zhang Changyao, their mouths agape in shock.

"What? Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"

Looking at the expressions on their faces, Zhang Changyao was too frightened to turn around.

"Zhang Changyao, would you believe me if I said Liao Zhi gave you a nudge?"

Yang Wuni's voice trembled violently, and it took her a long time to speak after pointing at Liao Zhi.

"Liao Zhi, did you move your hand?" Zhang Changyao slowly turned around.

He gently tugged at Liao Zhi's hand, which was dangling under the bed, and looked back at Yang Wuni with suspicion.

"Changyao, I saw it too, it definitely moved. Liao Zhi, did you see it yourself?"

Yang Deshan was happier than anyone else, and he picked up Liao Zhi's hand to show it to himself.

"Uncle, I didn't see it. Did you really see it?" Liao Zhi and Zhang Changyao both disbelieved it.

"Wu Ni, are our eyes getting blurry?" Yang Deshan rubbed his eyes in disappointment.

"Uncle, I just got back from running errands in the township today. I drove the donkey cart back."

And...and also, Zhang the carpenter's daughter has a crush on me, can you tell me? Is it true or not?
