Chapter 243 He can't even live well himself, and he won't let the dead rest in peace eithe
After Yang Wuni finished speaking, she picked up another broom and continued picking her teeth.
"Wu Ni, where would I get that kind of money? Even if I had money, I wouldn't let Xiao Jiu work for Wang Ga for free!"
Hou Liping wanted to drink more, but Zhang Changyao snatched the glass from her and put it on the table.
"Sister Liping, if you have no money, then you only have one wrong path left."
I can get this done for you, but you have to cooperate with me.
Yang Wuni felt cramped and changed her sitting position, spreading her legs outwards.
"Wu Ni, Du Qiu and I are honest people, we'll listen to you."
As long as his parents acknowledge our relationship, he can be buried in their family cemetery after he dies.
We'll do whatever you ask, as long as we can be together.
Hou Liping's eyes were filled with tears, and she had an expression of gratitude but didn't know what to say.
"Sister Liping, don't get agitated. I haven't thought of what to do yet."
I'll go back in a few days and see Wang Fengxian. I'll discuss it with her and then I'll tell you when I get back.
In my opinion, this deal has a very high chance of succeeding. If it doesn't, you two can move back to your village.
I told him that Du Qiu had gone to work in another city, and I'd keep it a secret for as long as possible.
In a few years, his parents will die. What difference does it make whether he acknowledges your relationship or not?
"Does it have to be their family's cemetery? Can't people be buried in any other yellow earth?"
Yang Wuni became more and more excited as she spoke, and slapped the table, startling Zhang Changyao and Hou Liping.
"Wu Ni, I never thought of being buried in Du Qiu's family cemetery."
He said that his parents disagreed and that he would not come to live with me in our village.
He added that men are different from women; unless they die a violent death, everyone wants to be buried in their own family's cemetery.
Hou Liping went to the basement of the outer room and brought in the lard jar, giving Zhang Changyao and herself half a spoonful of lard.
He then ladled a spoonful of hot vegetable soup into the pot and melted the lard.
Both of them, like Yang Wuni, dipped their bean buns in lard.
"Hou Liping, don't blame Brother Du Qiu. It's not just him who thinks this way; any man would think this way."
If you die and can't be buried in your ancestral grave, unless you died a violent death, you'll probably be worried about it until your last breath.
Just listen to Du Qiu, don't let him be scolded by his parents for being unfilial in front of the ancestors.
Only in this way can you two be of one mind and live a good life together in the future.
Zhang Changyao took a bite of the steamed bun, swallowed it, and told Hou Liping with a heavy heart.
"Hmph! You men are always so troublesome. Even our ancestors don't know if it's your fault or what they owe you."
Even if someone dies eight lifetimes ago, they still have to take care of you bunch of plague-ridden people.
I think it's you guys who use the name of our ancestors to justify your own cowardice.
If one does not accumulate virtue and do good deeds, one's life will be miserable both inside and out.
They spend all day burning incense and kowtowing, asking their ancestors to bless this and that.
When life gets better, we're happy. Oh! Our ancestors have shown us their power! We wish we could burn a mountain of gold for them.
When they can't even afford to eat, they turn their backs on their ancestors, cursing them for not caring about them and wishing they could tear down their graves.
"They can't even live their own lives properly, and they won't let the dead rest in peace either. What a fucking 'filial piety'!"
Yang Wuni snatched Zhang Changyao's wine glass and downed it in one gulp.
"Cough, cough, cough!" She drank too fast and choked, her face turning red from coughing.
"Wu Ni, you can say these things at home, but you can't tell outsiders."
Everyone has finally found a reasonable excuse for their incompetence and poverty.
You just ripped away this fig leaf like that; now everyone might come after you.
Zhang Changyao patted Yang Wuni on the back and reminded her with a smile.
"Brother Changyao, what is that? It just ripped open in a flash?"
Hou Jiu and Du Qiu, who had just entered the room, heard the last sentence and asked curiously.
"Hahaha! I can't tell you anything, I'm afraid you'll hit me."
You men are all the same; you all need a fig leaf to cover your faces.
Yang Wuni caught her breath, smiled, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and pulled Zhang Changyao home.
"Liping, did you tell her?"
"I told her, Wu Ni said she has a way, and we just need to wait."
"Eighth Sister, Brother Du Qiu, if you ask me, you two should just ignore all that and be happy."
The three people in the room started discussing it, one after another.
"Wu Ni, do you really have a solution? But don't let it interfere with Hou Liping and Du Qiu's important business!"
Hearing the worry in the room, Zhang Changyao couldn't help but ask Yang Wuni.
"Zhang Changyao, just relax and focus on being a good substitute teacher."
I, Yang Wuni, am certainly not as good as you and Liao Zhi at getting things done through proper channels.
When it comes to unorthodox and wicked methods, I'm an expert; you don't need to concern yourself with this matter.
Yang Wuni walked around Zhang Changyao, who was trying to take her hand, and headed home with her chest out and head held high.
"Uncle-in-law, Teacher Zhang, my mother asked me to bring you some chickens."
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw Guo Erluzi waiting there with his arms crossed.
Several old hens lay motionless on the snow at my feet, their eyes wide open, clucking softly.
"Erluzi, stop talking nonsense. Do you think your mother would give up her chicken?"
Zhang Changyao didn't even glance at the chicks on the ground before heading into the house.
Last time, because Guo Erluzi stole a chicken, we went to that house to apologize, and he was so scared that he's only just recovered.
"Teacher Zhang, this time it really is true, my mother asked me to bring it over."
At first, that carpenter Zhang absolutely refused to agree to my relationship with Zhang Huili.
The couple even gave Zhang Huili a good scolding for this.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Huili clung to me and wouldn't let go, telling her father that if he didn't agree, she would die.
Old Zhang had no choice but to agree, and told me to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.
When my mother found out, that guy was so happy that he immediately grabbed five old hens from the chicken coop and gave them to me.
"Let me go find my uncle-in-law, Teacher Zhang, and act as matchmaker at Zhang the carpenter's house."
"Erluzi, what are you saying? I haven't started work yet, so don't call me Teacher Zhang."
Guo Erluzi kept calling Zhang Changyao "Teacher Zhang," making Zhang Changyao's eyes glaze over, and he lost all sense of where he was.
"Uncle, everyone in the village knows you're Teacher Zhang now."
Your father told everyone he knew, practically going door to door to announce it, and threw a big banquet to celebrate.
You're educated, so it's only right that you become Teacher Zhang. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
"After I get married, have children, and go to school, you'll have to take care of them a little."
The two entered the house one after the other and sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed). Guo Erluzi squinted his eyes and smiled as he praised Zhang Changyao.
"Hey! Let me remind you two, one hasn't even learned the ropes yet, and the other hasn't even taken office, so take it easy on your smugness."
Extremes beget their opposites; excessive joy can lead to sorrow. Be careful not to end up becoming a laughingstock.
Liao Zhi gave Zhang Changyao and Guo Erlvzi an untimely reminder.
He didn't know that his words would eventually come true; he just couldn't stand the two of them showing off and flattering each other, so he quickly shut them up.
"Liao Zhi, this is a sure thing, why are you worrying about it?"
Let them show off a bit, so they don't have to suffer from holding it in.
Yang Deshan pulled Liao Zhi's head away, preventing him from seeing Zhang Changyao and Guo Erluzi.
"Erluzi, Liao Zhi's jinx is really accurate. This matter is in jeopardy for you."
I won't act as a matchmaker; you'll have to discuss it with your aunt. She's got a lot of tricks up her sleeve.
