Northeast: My Absurd Woman

Zhang Shuhua emphasized again that she did not want to leave any future troubles.

"Auntie, I know about this. They don't mind that I'm poor, so what right do I have to complain about them being spoiled?"

In our poor family, I wouldn't dare to pick a woman.

Don't say that Zheng Meizhi is a good woman who is whole and without a trace.

"Even if I'm blind and lack a nose, I'd still take on any role as long as I can have children."

Hou Da wiped his nose with his sleeve and chuckled wryly, making fun of himself.

"Big Eyes, you're right. Didn't I also marry a pregnant woman back then?"

As long as they live with us, having another child is just another bowl and chopsticks.

Look at Zhai Qingming, he's just like us.

The couple is living a very happy life now; their son calls him "Dad" so affectionately.

Seeing that things had gone well, Zhang Changyao stood up and patted Hou Da Yanjing on the shoulder.

He shared his experience with Hou Da Yanjing in a tone of brotherly camaraderie.

Hou Da's eyes were now squinted into slits with joy.

Following behind Zhang Changyao, they went home to prepare things.

Zhang Changyao felt empty inside, and he didn't know why.

It wasn't until I saw the green 212 parked at the door that I realized I was thinking about Lin Qiu.

"Wu Ni, these are things for childbirth. I've never had a child, so I don't know if I bought the right things?"

Lin Qiurou's water-like voice came from inside the room.

"Sister Lin Qiu, I've never given birth either. These things of yours are too precious. It's a waste for us country folk to use them."

"Or you could take it back and give it to the women who work in town."

Yang Wuni's voice trembled slightly, and it was clear that she was too excited.

"Lin Qiu, you're here!"

Zhang Changyao lowered his head and went into the house, turning around and sitting down somewhere.

"Zhang Changyao, I gave the money for building the house to Wu Ni."

You don't need to build two houses. With this money, you can build a three-room house. Liao Zhi and I can live in the east and west rooms.

I don't necessarily come back to live here every day because I'm at work, and the house is too big and doesn't feel lively, so Liao Zhi doesn't like it.

You don't need to approve a separate property for me; this house is yours.

"Who knows, Liao Zhi might get tired of rural life someday, and then we'll move away."

Lin Qiu thought for a while before deciding to talk to Zhang Changyao.

"Lin Qiu, that won't do. You are yours, and we are ours."

If you offer to build us a house, I wouldn't dare accept it.

Otherwise, you don't need to build it. Our family will build three rooms and leave one room for you two to live in.

You can stay whenever you want, and you won't feel burdened if you decide you don't want to stay any longer.

Zhang Changyao glanced at Yang Wuni, who then placed the money in front of Lin Qiu.

"Zhang Changyao, you can say that if you want, but I can't take this money back."

If you're too embarrassed to accept the money, then consider this as my advance payment for your wages.

Liao Zhi in my family has a bad temper and is not easy to please.

If you feel wronged, I can give you even more money.

Lin Qiu stuffed the money back into Yang Wuni's hand, and Yang Wuni looked at Zhang Changyao, not daring to make the decision.

"Wu Ni, since Lin Qiu said so, let's keep this money to build a house."

From now on, when Liao Zhi comes to stay, you should take good care of him.

"Given your personality, I doubt Liao Zhi would dare to lose his temper."

"Zhang Changyao, I have something to do. Just let me know when you're done building the house."

Lin Qiu's eyes darkened when he saw Zhang Changyao and Yang Wuni laughing and talking.

Without saying goodbye to Yang Wuni, he got up and left.

"Lin Qiu, I heard from Village Chief Hu today that your father-in-law wants to send his son to the countryside."

"Is it so that he can be with another woman and not be affected? Is that woman you?"

Zhang Changyao followed behind Lin Qiu and only asked the question after seeing him open the car door.

"Zhang Changyao, there are some things you're better off not knowing than knowing."

We're classmates now, so just do your best with the things I ask you to do.

As for the gossip, just listen to it and let it go; don't pry into it.

Lin Qiu coldly answered Zhang Changyao's question and drove away expressionlessly.

"Hmph! I knew things weren't that simple. No wonder they sent the man to the countryside?"

Women's schemes are so deep, I can't see through them, I can't see through them at all! ..." Zhang Changyao shook his head and went into the house.

"Zhang Changyao, look at Lin Qiu, she's really rich."

After we clear the land, we'll start building the house. This time, we'll build three large rooms, or four rooms would be fine too.

Yang Wuni had never seen so much money before. Her eyes were fixed on the money, and she checked it over and over again with her hands.

They still couldn't figure out exactly how much it cost, and in the end they had to ask Zhang Changyao for help.

"Wu Ni, are you running out of numbers in your head?"

Zhang Changyao divided the money into ten piles and showed them to Yang Wuni one by one.

Finally, I told her to put them away properly and take them out one stack at a time when needed, so that she wouldn't make a mistake.

"Zhang Changyao, then I need ten pieces of floral cloth to wrap money."

I see that other people's houses have boxes, the kind with locks.

Look at our house, there's not even a lock on the door anymore.

Unable to find ten pieces of floral fabric, Yang Wuni had to make do with the coarse cloth given to her by Zhang Shuhua to wrap the money.

The most difficult thing was finding a safe place to put it. Yang Wuni looked at the rooftop and the ground.

In the end, I held it in my arms, not knowing where to put it.

"Wu Ni, it's safe if you sew it inside the quilt, no one will steal the quilt, right?" Zhang Changyao said with a smile, giving Yang Wu Ni a suggestion.

"Zhang Changyao, you're so shrewd! How come I didn't think of that?"

Yang Wuni immediately began to disassemble the quilt and sew the wallets one by one to the head of the quilt.

"Wu Ni, Zheng Meizhi is going to marry Hou Da Yanjing. Auntie is the matchmaker."

Zhang Changyao, who was lying in bed with nothing to do, told Yang Wuni about it.

"Zhang Changyao, you should stay away from that woman Zheng Meizhi from now on."

Our family's life is getting better and better, so don't get involved with her in a never-ending cycle.

Hou Da Yanjing is not a pushover like Ma Pengsheng.

"You might get dragged into this by her, and I won't be responsible if you get beaten up."

Yang Wuni, covered by a rich quilt, dared not be careless.

He placed both arms on the money side, pressing them tightly.

"Wu Ni, I don't have feelings for her, I just feel sorry for her."

We've been through that phase, after all. She came to me, what am I supposed to say?

People say that a day as husband and wife brings a hundred days of kindness, and a hundred days as husband and wife is as deep as the sea.

We haven't reached 100 days yet, but we've been together for 80 or 90 days.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have let her marry that honest man, Yutian.

Now look what's happened, she chose Hou the Big Eyes herself, so she can't blame me.

Whether she enjoys happiness or suffers, it's all her own doing; she can't blame me for neglecting her.

Zhang Changyao knew Hou Dayang's character; he would readily offer help regardless of who the other party was.

Even his own father, if he says the wrong thing, he'll be shot in the eye with a cannon.

"Zhang Changyao, you don't need to feel sorry for her. Zheng Meizhi is a slut; no good person can live with her."

Only someone like Hou Da Yanjing, who's quick to hit and quick to curse, could handle her.

Yang Wuni felt a sense of satisfaction at Zheng Meizhi's fate and didn't hold back her words.

"My dear son, your Aunt Xiulan is going to hang herself. Come quickly and try to persuade her to stop."
