Chapter 268: Pushing Away the Beautiful Thoughts
Goudan's mother spat at the closed door behind her, then walked over quickly, complaining as she walked:
"You don't know what we eat at Yang Shulin's house: two plates of stewed vegetables and one steamed bun per person.
I shouldn't have paid her even a penny for this crappy dish!
So, what do you eat when you go to visit strangers?
After hearing this, the people in Yang's father's team felt that they had gotten a great advantage.
"We had a good meal. We had a plate of cabbage stewed with pig's blood, a bowl of bone soup, a plate of dried vegetables stir-fried with lard, and a large bowl of multi-grain steamed buns."
Another person beside him burped and added:
"I ate two of those big steamed buns, and I'm still feeling bloated.
I was afraid of bringing shame to our Linshan Village, otherwise I would have done the same as the Liangtian family and put the remaining buns in my pocket!"
When Goudan's mother heard that they not only ate two meat dishes but also had steamed buns left on the table, she became even more angry:
"There's not only meat on your table, but also steamed buns left?
Shu Lin is such a stingy person.
When she farts, she has to pick up the beans and eat them.
We came here for a feast, but left with empty stomachs, can you believe it?"
The woman didn't expect that they were not full, and she exclaimed "Ah" in shock.
These days, there isn’t much delicious food for everyone.
But even if it is cabbage, everyone at the banquet should generally eat most of it.
The more Goudan's mother thought about it, the angrier she became. She approached the woman and said:
"Do you know why the daughter-in-law in the woods married him?"
Several women nearby sensed the atmosphere of gossip and gathered around curiously, waiting for Goudan's mother to speak.
"Let me tell you, this daughter-in-law of Shulin may not be a virgin anymore!"
After hearing this, several women nearby looked up at Goudan's mother in shock.
One of the women said:
"Goudan's mother, you can't say such things carelessly. Reputation is extremely important to us women.
The wife of the Shulin family didn't provoke you, so please don't spread rumors!"
The other women, thinking that they had just finished eating the meat in the north yard, also agreed.
"That's right, don't spread it around."
"I think that Shulin's daughter is a good person. Stop talking nonsense."
"..."
Goudan's mother didn't expect them to react so strongly, and muttered:
"I have no grudge against Mrs. Shulin, so there's no need to destroy her like this.
It was Shulin Niang who revealed the truth just now. If you don’t believe me, ask Huagou’s wife.”
The flower dog wife beside her nodded hesitantly and said:
“Mrs. Shulin’s expression just now was indeed too unnatural.
Besides, the outsider is so rich, with food and carriages, why would he fall for that poor boy Yang Shulin? "
When the other women heard her say this, they also became hesitant.
Several women hesitated for a while, then said:
"Okay, I just got married, stop talking nonsense.
Since the people from the North Court came to our village, they have provided us with a lot of conveniences.
Didn't your family also exchange a lot of silver and money? "
As they were talking, the women heard the man in front of them calling them, so they quickly left Yang Shulin's house and continued walking towards the village.
Yang Yongyan's home.
After returning home, Yang's mother took a shovel and shoveled a piece of snow in the corner of the yard, making a "crunching" sound.
When Father Yang saw this, he looked at his daughter Taohua and asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong with your mother? Didn't she eat well in the North Courtyard?"
Without waiting for Taohua to reply, Mother Yang turned around and complained:
"It has nothing to do with the North Courtyard, it's still Liangtian's family!
No wonder people say her family is broke, today I finally see for myself."
"What happened to the Liangtian family?"
Mother Yang threw down the shovel angrily:
"From the moment the food was served in the north courtyard, she ordered the children to eat as much as they wanted.
His children alone took four of the big bones on the table, so there weren't many left.
After her children took the bones, they started to scoop up the soup.
If I hadn't acted quickly, our Taohua wouldn't even have a bowl of meat soup!"
After hearing this, Taohua nodded with some grievance.
When Yang's mother saw this, she said angrily:
"You haven't seen how they eat. They made the women in the north courtyard next to them dumbfounded. They really brought shame to our Linshan Village!
In previous years, it was not uncommon for families to use chopsticks to grab the meat during banquets. But who would be like her, eating most of the meat with just a few chopsticks.
Even the remaining steamed buns were put into her arms.
If I hadn't been concerned about the people in the North Courtyard, I would have scolded her long ago!"
Father Yang comforted him:
"Not everyone can marry a good wife like me."
After hearing this, Yang's mother's anger, which had been pent up for a long time, suddenly dissipated a lot.
She looked at the children in the yard who were listening intently and scolded with a smile:
"You're old, and you still say these things in front of children. You don't know how to be shy!"
When Father Yang saw the smile on her face, he knew that she had calmed down a lot.
Beside her, Mother Yang chased away several children and continued:
"To be honest, life in our clan is pretty good. Before Liangtian's wife married in, it wasn't this good.
I married a wife like this, and I can't wait to move back to her parents' home if I have some money.
Look at her children, they are so skinny.
Her eldest daughter is about the same age as our Taohua, but it looks like there's a several-year age difference!"
After complaining, Yang's mother felt that her anger had almost subsided, and she sighed again:
"The people in the North Courtyard are really honest. They made the steamed buns big to begin with, and they served two per person. There were still quite a few left at the end!"
Father Yang nodded:
"Yes, I heard from Yong Yan that the people from the North Courtyard plan to leave when the weather gets warmer in the spring.
Otherwise, I really want to keep them.
These people are capable and sincere; they are good people!"
......
Yang Shulin's home.
After lunch, Shulin's mother urged Yang Shulin to go into the house.
In the room, Bai Xing'er was sitting on the kang. When she heard the door open, a look of panic flashed across her face under the veil.
When Yang Shulin carefully lifted the veil, both of them blushed.
When Yang Shulin saw Bai Xing'er with rouge on her face, he unconsciously moved closer to her.
As Bai Xing'er saw him getting closer, those bad images came to her mind again.
The hanging hands clenched tighter and tighter.
I tried to hold it back, but couldn't help it and pushed him away.
Yang Shulin was caught off guard and was pushed with such great force that he fell backwards onto the kang!
There was a loud "bang" and then a hissing sound of "ouch, ouch".
Yang Shulin covered his head which was hurt by the knock, and tears came out.
Bai Xing'er was also a little confused. She just didn't want him to get close to her, but she didn't expect to hurt him.
So he hurriedly got out of bed and tried to help the man up.
Yang Shulin's face turned cold and he pushed away her arm that was trying to support him.
Any romantic thoughts I had were shattered by this push.
This woman has long ceased to be a clean person, why is she still pretending now!
Thinking of this, he was still concerned about her dowry, so he stopped getting angry and just cleared his throat and said:
"Mom asked you to go out and help clean up the table!"
After hearing this, Bai Xing'er didn't think that she would be unhappy about having to work on the first day of her marriage.
On the contrary, I feel that it’s good that I don’t have to face Yang Shulin this time.
When the two met before, she and Yang Shulin kept their distance.
She really didn't expect that this person would get so close to her, and she felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.
Bai Xing'er quickly responded and walked out.
