As the night wind blew, Brother Zhao shuddered and whispered, "I understand."

Yougen drove the car into the yard, returned to the house, and told his aunt about his plan.

Now the family is not divided,

All the money he earned was in the hands of his parents. He didn't tell his parents where the money came from.

The aunt was silent for a long time and said, "Okay, if you give me two taels, I'll give you two taels. With these two taels of silver, they won't starve to death even if they don't work."

Auntie waved her hand and said, "Go and have a rest."

······

Besides, at the Gu family's side, after dinner, everyone didn't stay long and left one after another.

There are servants taking care of the house now, so Chen and Li Chunhua are just helping out.

Both Gu Zhang and Gu Fei hurried back to the city. Gu Zhang wanted to look at the goods in the house. Gu Fei left Fang'er behind and returned to the city with only Yan'er.

Gu Erlang saw that everyone was busy with their own business and no one paid attention to him, so he quickly slipped into the side room.

Lanzhi had already eaten and was sitting in front of the dressing table, taking off the gold hairpins on her head one by one.

Gu Erlang stood behind her, blushing, "I, I will take it apart for you."

Their eyes met in the mirror, and they shyly avoided it.

After removing the gold hairpin, Lanzhi stood up and said, "I, I'm going to wash my face."

Gu Erlang stretched out his hand to hold her down, "You sit down and I'll fetch water."

A newly bought brass basin and a newly bought cloth towel. Lanzhi had just finished washing her face when she was hugged by Erlang, his hot breath spraying on her ears, "Lanzhi, let's rest."

Lanzhi said nothing and let Erlang carry her to the bed.

Erlang tremblingly went to untie her wedding dress.

Lanzhi put her hand on his chest, her face flushed, and she said softly: "The tent, the tent hasn't been put down yet—"

The tent was lowered, and so was the bright red satin curtain.

The light of the dragon and phoenix candles shone faintly on the bed through the curtains.

As if on a pilgrimage, Erlang tremblingly took off Lanzhi's wedding dress.

He stretched out his hand and caressed Lanzhi's face, "I will be good to you, Lanzhi. I will love you and be good to you all my life."

Thin sobs soon sounded in the room, followed by Gu Erlang's panicked voice, "Does it hurt? I, I'll be gentler-"

The dragon and phoenix candles burned all night.

When the rooster crows, Shanzi's mother gets up.

I got up and walked to the opposite room and listened, but there was no movement.

She fetched water and began to sit in the yard and wash her clothes.

After the clothes were washed and hung to dry, Shan Zima went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

People in the south of the Yangtze River eat more rice, and rice is not expensive. Shan Zi’s mother cooked white rice porridge and took out some pickles from the jar to cut.

After doing this, she walked to the main room and planned to ask Shanzi and the others to get up, when she heard the rhythmic sound of bed boards creaking again from inside.

There is also the voice of Du Juan begging for mercy, "Please, I really can't help it, please - ah -"

Shan Zi's mother stood at the door for a while, her face looking indescribably ugly.

The sound continued to penetrate her ears, and Shanzi's mother finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Shanzi, the sun is getting high. It's time to get up and have breakfast to go work!"

The sound in the room stopped for a moment, and then started to creak again.

Shan Zima sighed and went to the kitchen.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Shanzi entered the kitchen, picked up a bowl of porridge and drank it.

Shanzi's mother handed him a cake and said, "I have a lot of things to do today. When you have some free time on the street, remember to buy a pair of dragon and phoenix candles."

Shanzi responded with a dull voice, finished eating the pancakes, saddled up his mule and left.

Shan Zi's mother got up and went to the room. She saw Du Juan lying on the bed, covered with a thin quilt, her eyes were dull, and her eyes were black and blue.
