Searching within the mountains.

Cheng Yun furrowed his brows and requested, “What do you imply by preventing wild boars and looking large birds? Who informed you all this?”

Seeing that his spouse wasn’t as completely satisfied as he anticipated, Yang Hongjin’s smile immediately light. He stood up straight like a punished elementary faculty scholar and obediently replied, “It was Uncle Solar who stated it.”

“How did Uncle Solar wsay it?”

Yang Hongjin didn’t dare to cover something and truthfully confessed. It turned out that after the autumn harvest, when everybody had free time, the boys within the village would set up looking journeys to the mountains to assemble meals and cash for the winter.

Prior to now, Yang Hongjin was naive, and even when Li Fengjiao wished him to affix, Yang Hongcai wouldn’t agree. However now that he was married, everybody seen that he had been dealing with the cash effectively not too long ago, in order that they thought he was only a bit gradual within the head and wouldn’t trigger any bother if he adopted the others into the mountains. So that they requested him to go alongside.

“They stated the pinnacle of the family ought to be capable to generate income, help his spouse, so the spouse is not going to be drained,” Yang Hongjin stated cautiously, unable to cover his anticipation in his eyes. “Spouse, I can earn cash and I can help the household.”

After Cheng Yun heard the entire story, he understood. A couple of days in the past, as a result of his Phrase Spirit had failed, he had been feeling down. At the moment, everybody stated one thing much like Yang Hongjin. This idiot in all probability took it to coronary heart, and now that everybody had talked about it once more, he took it critically and wished to go looking to earn cash.

Prior to now, Cheng Yun had all the time been indulgent towards Yang Hongjin. He let him do no matter he wished, calling it ‘not suppressing a baby’s nature.’ However this time, he didn’t wish to agree.

He pulled Yang Hongjin to sit down down and tried to purpose with him. “Searching may be very tiring. You need to chase after these animals…”

Earlier than he might end his sentence, Yang Hongjin straightened his chest and stated, “I’m not afraid of getting drained!”

“Nevertheless it’s additionally harmful. These wild boars usually are not like domesticated pigs. They are often very fierce, and the identical goes for the massive birds. They’ll peck your eyes, arms, and ft, and there will likely be blood.”

Yang Hongjin paused for a second, then overrated his chest once more and stated, “I’m not afraid of hazard both!”

“However I’ll fear!” Cheng Yun’s brows furrowed deeply as he tightly held Yang Hongjin’s hand. “Simply take into consideration the final time you harm your hand whereas chopping wooden. How a lot blood was shed? Searching within the mountains is completely different. There’s a actual danger to life.”

Afraid that Yang Hongjin wouldn’t perceive, he wished to clarify additional, however Yang Hongjin tilted his head and thought for a second earlier than saying, “So long as my spouse speaks, it’s all proper!”

Cheng Yun was considerably stunned. He didn’t anticipate him to recollect the incident when his Phrase Spirit was activated final time. He felt a way of reduction, realizing that Yang Hongjin’s thoughts was nonetheless not totally recovered, or else he might need been seen as an oddity.

Cheng Yun was frightened and didn’t know why he was so persistent about this matter. However he genuinely couldn’t let him go looking. He had lengthy been used to maintaining a tally of Yang Hongjin and would by no means really feel comfy if he bumped into the mountains, particularly to hunt wild beasts.

Maybe seeing Cheng Yun’s critical expression, Yang Hongjin didn’t dare to proceed talking. After some time, he stated, “Spouse doesn’t need me to go?”

Cheng Yun glanced at him, reached out and touched his face. “It’s not that I don’t need you to go. I’m simply frightened about your security. The mountains are too harmful. Even skilled individuals can get injured, not to mention you.”

Cheng Yun squeezed his hand and spoke in a pleading tone, “Let’s not go this time, okay? There will likely be different actions subsequent time, and I’ll think about it then.”

Yang Hongjin all the time listened to Cheng Yun. Though he felt a little bit disenchanted, he rapidly agreed. He informed Cheng Yun just a few phrases after which rushed out to tell Uncle Solar that he wouldn’t go.

Within the afternoon, when Aunt Wang got here to Cheng Yun’s home to get some supplies, she seen that the 2 of them weren’t like earlier than, with Yang Hongjin chasing after Cheng Yun. As a substitute, it was Cheng Yun who was attempting to please him. Curious, she requested, and when she discovered in regards to the state of affairs, she burst into laughter.

“I need to say, Cheng-Ge’er, you’re too frightened. Because you two bought married, your husband has been getting higher daily. It’s time to let him exit and see extra.”

Cheng Yun frowned however didn’t reply, clearly displaying his disagreement.

Aunt Wang not often noticed him like this. It was an amusing sight, however it additionally confirmed how intimate this newlywed couple was from one other perspective.

She contemplated for a second and stated, “Truly, it wouldn’t harm for Hongjin to go and run for some time. Everybody will deal with him, and his brother Yang Hongcai goes with them yearly. He received’t get harm or something. But when he doesn’t wish to go, that’s nice too,” she paused for a second, “The one main the looking group yearly is Butcher Wang. He’s nice, however for his daughter, Hongjin ought to be careful and keep away from any suspicion.”

“Keep away from suspicion?” Cheng Yun raised an eyebrow.

Aunt Wang knew that what she was about to say was disagreeable, however contemplating the latest rumors within the village, she determined to offer a mild reminder.

She leaned in near Cheng Yun’s aspect and whispered, “You will not be conscious of this because you typically keep at residence, however there have been just a few individuals who had their vegetable choices rejected by you earlier than. They may have gone again, feeling resentful and helpless, and ended up instigating issues behind your again.”

Cheng Yun was already conscious of this stuff and will anticipate them. Folks like them wouldn’t simply let go of such issues.

However what does this must do with Yang Hongjin avoiding suspicion?

As if studying his ideas, Mrs. Wang stated, “You will have heard about it earlier than. After they had been younger, wasn’t it the case that the daughter of Butcher Wang had a fierce dispute with the son of the Chen household? Chen Han unfold rumors within the village that Wang Cui and Hongjin had been a pair, and many individuals made jokes about it.”

Chen Han was the one whom Wang Cui had crushed up, however he couldn’t settle for it and all the time instigated a bunch of children to retaliate. The joke about Wang Cui marrying Yang Hongjin initially began due to him.

Cheng Yun knew a bit about this as effectively. Though it was only a joke, it nonetheless made him uncomfortable. He frowned and stated, “Isn’t that one thing from our childhood? It’s been so a few years. Hongjin and I’ve been married for some time now, why are they nonetheless speaking about it?”

Aunt Wang stated, “Isn’t it due to the latest incident? That’s how individuals within the village are, they maintain gossiping, and it finally ends up sounding prefer it’s true.”

It turned out that after Lu-Ge’er was rejected final time, a number of individuals didn’t dare to promote greens to Cheng Yun anymore. However these individuals had talked badly about Cheng Yun earlier than, and once they gathered collectively, they couldn’t assist however curse him.

As they cursed, nobody is aware of who introduced it up first, however somebody talked about that if the Yang idiot married Wang Cui, who they’d watched develop up, she wouldn’t cheat them out of their cash like Cheng-Ge’er.

This assertion struck a chord with everybody. They really despised Cheng Yun, pondering he was nugatory and appeared down on them simply because he had a relationship with Yueqiong Tower.

Wang Cui was now in her early twenties, which was thought of a late marriage on this period. Nonetheless, as a consequence of her fierce character and having a butcher as her father, her repute within the village was not excellent. She nonetheless didn’t have an acceptable accomplice, not to mention the prospect of marriage.

On this period, having a number of wives and concubines was not a giant deal. Within the cities and cities, rich households typically had a number of wives and lots of kids. Nonetheless, the village situations didn’t enable for that. Including another individual meant having another mouth to feed, and so they couldn’t afford to help extra individuals of their households.

However Cheng-Ge’er’s household was completely different!

Cheng Yun had earned cash now and had connections. Even Yueqiong Tower had acknowledged their household. Nonetheless, regardless of how succesful he was, he was nonetheless a Ge’er, and the pinnacle of the household was nonetheless that fool.

Cheng Yun had poor fertility, and marrying a idiot was his finest approach out. Now that they’d been married for some time and there have been no indicators of being pregnant, it confirmed that he couldn’t father a baby. Aside from Yang Hongjin, the idiot, there was in all probability no different man within the village who would settle for such a Ge’er.

If Wang Cui married into the household, along with her fiery character, she would possibly suppress Cheng Yun much more. Simply this alone would make them completely satisfied. If Wang Cui took over the enterprise with Yueqiong Tower and allowed them to promote greens like earlier than, it could be even higher!

With this thought, these few individuals began taking motion. Some went to Wang Cui and talked to her, whereas others unfold rumors privately. For some time, the entire village was crammed with a saying: the butcher’s daughter was going to marry the village idiot!

Aunt Wang had a detailed relationship with Cheng Yun and a few others within the village who had been on good phrases along with her approached her to gossip about it. Aunt Wang instantly scolded the individual and informed them to not unfold rumors all over the place. The younger couple had a great relationship.

She wished to remind Cheng Yun to not thoughts what others stated. Coincidentally, she heard about this matter as we speak, so she talked about it.

Cheng Yun was dumbfounded after listening. Have been these individuals out of their minds? Have been they treating him like a idiot?

He waved his hand, feeling each indignant and amused, and stated to Aunt Wang, “Yang Hongjin received’t marry once more, and I’m not that naive. In the event that they actually wish to carry somebody in, they must ask for my opinion first.”

Seeing his firmness, Mrs. Wang felt relieved however nonetheless reminded him, “It’s finest in case you each perceive one another, however don’t neglect that his stepmother isn’t somebody to be taken evenly. If Wang Cui doesn’t have such ideas, it’s good. However as soon as she will get instigated, and if she goes to seek out Li Fengjiao, it is going to be troublesome for you.”

Cheng Yun understood what Mrs. Wang meant, however he wasn’t the identical Cheng Yun who used to just accept every thing. Li Fengjiao wouldn’t get any advantages from him.

He glanced at Yang Hongjin, who was sitting quietly beside them, observing their dialog, feeling a bit difficult.

Though the earlier two makes an attempt at therapy had failed, Cheng Yun hadn’t given up utterly. The best degree of the farming system had a “Common Ginseng,” which was his final transfer. He wouldn’t surrender on curing Yang Hongjin till that second.

However sometimes, he felt conflicted. Whereas desirous to treatment Yang Hongjin, there was a nook deep in his coronary heart that hoped he would stay like this for a lifetime.

That idiot who wholeheartedly relied on him, would he proceed to take action even after turning into regular?
