Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 234 So scared my crotch broke out in a cold sweat

Zhai Si'er hopped and skipped across the snow, her legs, which were usually not very good, becoming much more agile at this moment.

"Brother Changyao, I'm going to watch the fun. I'll come find you in a couple of days with some good stuff."

Upon hearing Zhai Si'er's shouts, Ma Pengsheng happily ran out to see what was going on.

"Zhang Changyao, let's go help Yutian's wife with her lactation, and while we're at it, let's see what kind of trouble Hou Da Yanjing is up to."

When Yang Wuni saw Ma Pengsheng run out, her love of joining in the fun had already drifted off with him.

He quickly scooped the corn kernels into a large basket, took off his apron, and went inside to call Zhang Changyao.

"Let's go! Let's watch Hou Big Eyes perform the dog-hunchback act, just like watching a monkey show."

Zhang Changyao was being pulled along by Yang Wuni, his shoes were being pulled so far that they couldn't keep up with his feet.

"You old bastard, if I don't chop off your hand today, I'll change my surname to yours."

"I told you to pretend to be a ghost and scare me, I'll break your legs and make you a paralyzed person."

Just as Zhang Changyao and Yang Wuni passed the transformer, they saw Zheng Jingren running desperately through the snow.

Hou Da Yanjing followed behind him, carrying a kitchen knife, one hand on his waist, dragging one leg as he chased after him.

"Wow, they're really chasing a rabbit like a dog, going all out."

Zhang Changyao pulled Yang Wuni away from Zheng Jingren and Hou Da's eyes.

"Big Eyes, what are you doing? He's wrong a thousand times, wrong ten thousand times."

"Can't you just let him off the hook for the sake of us sharing a bed?"

The two hadn't run far when, around the corner, Zheng Meizhi, wearing an unbuttoned cotton-padded jacket and with disheveled hair, came chasing after them, carrying a child.

"Zhang Changyao, didn't Zheng Meizhi just give birth last night? Didn't you say that you shouldn't be exposed to drafts during postpartum confinement?"

Yang Wuni looked at Zheng Meizhi, who was running over with disheveled hair, and asked Zhang Changyao in confusion.

"My silly wife, is that even a question? She must be afraid that Hou Da-yan-yan will chop Zheng Jingren up, so she had no choice but to come out!"

Zhang Changyao dodged Zheng Meizhi and pulled Yang Wuni away.

"Zhang Changyao, I beg you, please help me save my father, I'm kneeling down for you."

As Zheng Meizhi passed by the two people, she suddenly remembered that the person who passed by was Zhang Changyao.

He quickly turned around, and before Zhang Changyao and Yang Wuni could react, his knees buckled and he knelt down in front of them.

"Zheng Meizhi, I can't subdue Hou Da Yanjing. Get up quickly and figure out a way yourself." Zhang Changyao pulled Yang Wuni away.

"Zheng Meizhi, how could you come out and get chilled while you're in postpartum confinement?"

Besides, you're such a tiny child, how can you withstand this kind of torment?

Yang Wuni broke free from Zhang Changyao's hand and went to help Zheng Meizhi up.

He took off his own scarf and tied it around her head, then fastened the snap buttons on her cotton-padded jacket.

"Wu Ni, I can't leave the baby alone. I'm afraid Hou Waibo will steal my baby and throw him away."

Wu Ni, you're a good person, please help me save my father.

He's too old to outrun Hou Da's eyesight; sooner or later he'll catch up and chop off his fingers.

"What's wrong with Hou the Crooked-Neck's brother-in-law? Why is he meddling in your family's affairs? Why would he want to steal your child?"

Zhang Changyao didn't believe Zheng Meizhi's words and couldn't be bothered with their family's messy affairs.

She asked Zheng Meizhi a question, then grabbed Yang Wuni's hand and started to leave.

"Zhang Changyao, listen to me. Hou Waibozi told his brother that it was my dad who pretended to be a ghost to scare him."

He even had his brother break my dad's legs and tried to take my child away.

Zheng Meizhi's eyes were red, and what she said didn't sound like she was lying.

"Zheng Meizhi, you should take the child and go home right away. You can't save your father even if you go."

"After all this time, Hou Da Yanjing should have caught up with your father by now."

Zhang Changyao gave Wu Ni a look, trying to coax Zheng Meizhi back to her home.

"Zhang Changyao, we can't just ignore Zheng Meizhi and the child. She's an adult who can handle the cold, but the child can't."

Yang Wuni glanced at the child in Zheng Meizhi's arms and felt sorry for the child.

"Zhang Changyao, Hou Daye injured his back last night and can't keep up with my dad."

A bitter smile flashed across Zheng Meizhi's face, then disappeared.

"Alright, let's walk into the village and see if we can run into them."

Zhang Changyao knew Zheng Meizhi well; nine and a half out of ten things that woman said were lies.

Since there was no way to expose her on the spot, he had no choice but to go along with Yang Wuni's personality and try to get rid of this woman.

The group walked together into the village, turning past the corner where Zheng Meizhi had come from.

Not far away, a group of people were gathered together watching the commotion.

It's obvious without even thinking that Hou Da Yanjing must have caught up with Zheng Jingren.

"Zhang Changyao, run fast, don't let Hou Daye cut off my dad's hand."

Zheng Meizhi was so anxious that she stomped her feet and pushed Zhang Changyao's back forcefully.

Seeing his chance, Zhang Changyao grabbed Yang Wuni and ran.

After shaking off Zheng Meizhi, he walked towards the crowd and squeezed into it to watch the excitement.

Things didn't go as expected; the person pinned to the ground was actually Hou Da Yanjing.

The snow was covered in bloodstains, and Hou Da Yanjing's pants had been slashed open in the front with a knife. He had already passed out.

Above Hou Da Yanjing's head was a sharp stone covered in blood, indicating that Hou Da Yanjing had been knocked unconscious.

Hou Da Yanjing's second brother, Hou Wai Bozi, stood in the crowd, too afraid to go up and save Hou Da Yanjing.

Zheng Jingren and his three maids were holding blood-stained kitchen knives.

He stood up, tilted his head back, and laughed heartily as he walked out of the crowd that had made way for him.

Zhang Changyao pulled Yang Wuni and slipped out from the side, while Zheng Meizhi hid by the wall.

Behind them came Hou's crooked neck and pitiful wails: "Brother, brother, wake up!"

"Zhang Changyao, what's wrong with Hou Da Yanjing? What's that Zheng Jingren is holding? It's still steaming hot!"

Yang Wuni, full of curiosity, turned Zhang Changyao's face and asked him.

"Wu Ni, please don't ask anymore, I'm really scared right now."

Zheng Jingren is really ruthless. Hou Da Yanjing (Big Eyes Hou) can become a eunuch in the palace now.

Zhang Changyao broke out in a cold sweat in his crotch, and his words became nonsensical.

"Zhang Changyao, what are you afraid of? It's Hou Da Yanjing lying on the ground, not you."

Yang Wuni couldn't understand Zhang Changyao's words and didn't know what he was afraid of.

"Wu Ni, you are my savior. If it weren't for you marrying me for free..."

Who knows, I might be the one lying on the ground right now, getting castrated.

We really need to stay away from Zheng Meizhi from now on; that woman is worse than a plague.

Anyone who gets close to her is practically a cuckold.

Zhang Changyao was glad he wasn't Hou Daye, and a smile appeared on his face.

Regardless of being in the village, he gave Yang Wuni a quick kiss on the cheek.

The courtyard of Guan Lin's house was swept clean, and Li Yue'e was hanging out the clothes she had washed for the children to dry.

His hands were frozen red, but he was still trying his best to smooth out the wrinkles.

"Guan Yutian, you're a complete idiot. I'll suffer this humiliation because of you after I married you."

There isn't a single good person in your Guan family. When I was in postpartum confinement, no one the hell came to help me produce breast milk.

Wait until I'm out of my postpartum period, then I'll go and dig up your Guan family's ancestral graves.

Ask your ancestors, I gave birth to a son for your Guan family, why doesn't anyone treat me like a human being?
