Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Chapter 242 The Wife Who Keeps a Husband Has No Shame

Zhang Kaiju, who had been silent all along, went up and untied Guan Shu's ropes, then pulled on his feet to look at him.

"Dad, you don't need to worry about this. I have experience. I trained rabbits and cats like this when I was a kid."

The soles of the feet are thick and won't break easily. If they swell, mash cooked potato seeds and chrysanthemum greens into a paste, apply it, and it will heal in a few days.

Yang Wuni walked out of the house with a smile, and Zhang Changyao followed closely behind.

"Wu Ni, you're really ruthless. I don't think Brother Guan Shu will be able to get out of bed anytime soon."

I thought you were going to beat your sister-in-law until she submitted.

Zhang Changyao gave her a thumbs up, curled his lower lip, and praised her with a mischievous smile.

"Zhang Changyao, you don't understand this. Hitting your sister-in-law won't help."

A wife who keeps a lover has no shame. Even if you beat her into submission at the time, she'll be back to her shameless ways a few days later when the man hooks up with her again.

The only way to work is to beat the man she's having an affair with into submission.

What's this called again? It means when someone is starting a fire, you pull out the firewood.

Anyway, I've done my job properly regarding the hundred yuan your older brother gave me for the donkey.

Yang Wuni tilted her neck, raised her head, and sat on the donkey cart with a smug smile, holding a hundred yuan in her hand.

"Sigh! I hope my older brother can keep an eye on my sister-in-law this time, otherwise these two children will really be motherless."

This stone mill isn't worth two hundred yuan, but oh well, it's better than getting nothing at all.

When Zhang Changyao entered the courtyard, he saw two stone mills and their stands standing on the garden wall, and felt a tightness in his chest.

"Brother Changyao, Brother Duqiu and I have discussed it and decided that we won't go to work for that bastard Wang Ga tomorrow."

This guy kicks the bucket after he's done his bidding; he hasn't even made it big yet, and he's already kicking his brothers to the curb.

If it weren't for your sake, my brother and I would have quit working for him a long time ago.

A few days ago, the brick factory was hiring workers, and the two of us were about to leave. He begged us to help him out.

His brother-in-law and his wife had only been back from out of town for a day, and this kid immediately started acting all high and mighty, cursing at us inside and outside the house.

When Hou Jiu came out and saw Zhang Changyao, he poured out all his grievances.

"Hmm! Let's not go! Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, you can go to the brick factory in the spring."

Zhang Changyao leaned against the garden gate like a dejected ghost, not in the mood to speak.

"Brother Changyao, my eighth sister said that when you and your sister-in-law come back, you should come to my house. She has something to discuss with you."

Hou Jiu knew that Zhang Changyao was upset, so he didn't hesitate and carried potatoes into the house.

"Xiao Jiu, take half of the potatoes and noodles from your family."

Even if you have nowhere to eat later, these potatoes and noodles will keep you going until after the New Year.

Even though it was brought by the wind, it's still a dessert; it doesn't affect how delicious it is.

Zhang Changyao instructed Hou Jiu, then turned around and pulled Yang Wuni, who had just come out of the outhouse, to Hou Jiu's house.

"What are you doing?"

"Hou Jiu said Hou Liping wants to see us about something, but we don't know what it is?"

Zhang Changyao didn't waste any words and told Yang Wuni directly.

Hou Liping was stewing sauerkraut and glass noodles in the house, with several large, shiny white slices of fatty pork on top, just about to scoop them out.

I steamed half a lid of steamed bean buns and placed them on the stove; they were still steaming hot.

"Sister Liping, I'm hungry. Can I have a steamed bun first?"

Before Yang Wuni could even finish her greeting, she had already picked up the steamed bun.

"Wu Ni, we were originally going to invite you and Zhang Changyao over for dinner. Eat if you're hungry. You're at home, no need to be so polite."

Hou Liping scooped half a spoonful of lard into a small bowl and handed it to Yang Wuni, telling her to dip the steamed bun in it.

Yang Wuni was indeed hungry. Leaning against the door frame, she ate one in just a few bites.

Seeing that Yang Wuni didn't look full, Zhang Changyao went over and grabbed two steamed buns, putting them in her rice bowl.

"Zhang Changyao, Wu Ni, let's go inside and eat while we talk."

Hou Liping set up the table, filled a small bowl with vegetables, and placed the steamed buns closest to Yang Wuni.

Hou Liping poured a small vat of baijiu for herself and Zhang Changyao.

Hou Liping didn't pick up her chopsticks; instead of eating any food, she took a sip of wine.

"Sister Liping, what happened to you? If you're in any trouble or disaster, just tell Zhang Changyao."

Even if he can't help, he can at least give you a bad idea.

After Yang Wuni finished speaking, she laughed first, which made Zhang Changyao glare at her angrily.

"Zhang Changyao, why are you glaring at me? Wasn't that advice you gave someone terrible last time?"

Yang Wuni ate six steamed buns, a small bowl of vegetables, and some fatty meat slices that Zhang Changyao had picked out for her.

He leaned contentedly against the windowsill, watching Hou Liping and teasing her and Zhang Changyao.

"Wu Ni, only you can help me with this. Zhang Changyao has no say in the matter."

Hou Liping took another sip of wine, and mustered her courage to look at Yang Wuni and speak.

"Sister Liping, our family doesn't have any money. Wang Ga didn't give us the money he invested."

They gave me a bunch of frozen potatoes, two stones, and a dozen or so grit-gritty, black-faced noodles that I couldn't close my mouth.

Yang Wuni took the initiative and quickly shut Hou Liping up the matter of borrowing money.

"Wu Ni, it's not about borrowing money, it's... it's about me and Du Qiu."

We're already together...we're together now, and I want you to help me go back and discuss marriage with his parents.

Du Qiu didn't dare go back and tell his mother himself; he was afraid his parents would beat him. Hou Liping stammered for a long time before finally getting to the point.

"Sister Liping, you've come to the right person. The person his mother looks down on the most in the entire Ganggang Village is me."

"If I don't go, maybe the two of you can still get together; if I go, this whole thing is definitely going to fall through."

Yang Wuni, who was picking her teeth with a broomstick, threw it away and laughed, slapping her thigh.

"Wu Ni, I don't know anyone in Ganggang Village. What should we do?"

Hou Liping sighed repeatedly, drinking one sip after another.

"Wu Ni, Hou Liping is talking about serious matters. You can't treat this as a joke."

We are not familiar with Ganggang Village, but you must be.

"Help Hou Liping think of a way. Helping Hou Liping is the same as helping Brother Du Qiu."

Zhang Changyao couldn't even come up with a search idea, so he could only look at Yang Wuni.

"Sister Liping, this matter is both difficult and easy to handle."

It mainly depends on whether you want to take the right path or the wrong path; you choose one of the two.

Yang Wuni glanced back out the window mysteriously, then whispered.

"Oh! Wu Ni, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me about both paths."

When Zhang Changyao saw Yang Wuni acting mysteriously, he knew it wasn't a good idea.

"The right way is for you two to go home, kneel down and beg his mother to agree. If she doesn't agree, don't get up."

This is difficult because Du Qiu's mother only cares about money, not people.

Unless you have a lot of money for her, she doesn't care what you look like.

No matter how many times you've been married or how many children you have, I can agree to anything you two do.

The problem is, she's a huge believer in ghosts and spirits, so I can have my dad and Wang Fengxian tell her beforehand to scare her.

As long as Wang Fengxian can intimidate her, you two can just wait at home and let her come to you herself. This deal is guaranteed to work.
