Xu Mumu’s lip twitched; Song Jiayan still wouldn’t give up, huh? This guy sure could attract the ladies.
"Wife, don’t keep staring at like that, it creeps out," Yin Yang said helplessly, being stared at fixedly by his little wife.
"How do you manage to be so likable to others?" Xu Mumu said with a smile, looking at Yin Yang.
"I promise to make Song Jiayan appear in front of us," Yin Yang imdiately promised, being utterly loyal to his little wife. Song Jiayan was troubling him.
"Whatever." Xu Mumu said calmly.
She didn’t take Song Jiayan seriously at all; she could handle her easily, and Song Jiayan posed no threat to her. Besides, she believed Yin Yang wasn’t that undiscriminating.
The next day when she ca over again, Xu Mumu didn’t hurry to modify her blueprints but headed directly to Cuihua’s house.
Liu Cuixia was overjoyed to see Xu Mumu and the others coming.
"Mumu, why did you decide to co and play at my house?" Liu Cuixia was beside herself with happiness; her family had grown by a child over the years, making it impossible for her to follow others into business.
Having not seen Xu Mumu for such a long ti, Liu Cuixia was exceedingly warm; as soon as Xu Mumu and the others entered the house, she imdiately took out the treats she’d carefully hidden.
"I haven’t seen Aunt Cuihua for so long, I’ve missed you all." Xu Mumu said with a big smile.
"I heard from Tiedan that you’ve been busy. I’m just thrilled you could co back," Cuihua said indifferently; Tiedan lived with Xu Mumu and her family, and she naturally knew their situation.
Whenever Liu Cuixia thought about Yin Yang and Huo Qingze, she sighed deeply. The entire team had misjudged them, not realizing they would turn out so successful. Still, Old Xu’s family’s foresight was sharp; many in the team envied them.
After chatting for quite a while, Liu Cuixia asked about many things concerning Tiedan in the provincial capital, including his studies.
Tiedan’s achievents now made Liu Cuixia proud.
Xu Mumu answered all Liu Cuixia’s questions with a smile while Yin Yang wasn’t bored either, having Zhao Jianshe to talk with him.
anwhile, the little cub in his arms wanted to reach out and grab the cat; the Zhao family had a big cat, currently napping on a stone block. The little cub always tried to reach out to grab it.
At first, Yin Yang intended to let him play a bit, but the little cub went straight for the cat’s tail, and the cat’s sharp claws almost scratched the little cub’s face.
"Oh dear, did Doudou get hurt? This cat is a bit shy," Zhao Jianshe was startled and quickly asked.
"No worries, no worries," Yin Yang shook his head quickly, still sowhat scared. Fortunately, he hadn’t brought those two dogs from the Imperial City back; if the little cub hurt the dogs, they might bite him, better wait two more years to bring them back.
"Hehehe." The little cub had no idea what had happened, feeling like his father was playing with him as he was quickly moved away, with a big smile on his face.
If not for the little cub’s obliviousness, he would’ve grabbed the cub for a round of bamboo stir-fry; he dared to grab anything with his delicate skin and tender flesh. The cat’s claws were so sharp; any scratch would surely leave a big mark.
"Mischievous." Even if he wanted to rant about him, seeing the little cub’s curved eyes, forget it, he wouldn’t understand anyway. Better wait until he’s older.
He just hoped his son wouldn’t be too mischievous; otherwise, with two indulgent elders at ho, raising the child would beco much harder.
anwhile, Xu Mumu casually brought up the topic of the educated youths who stayed in the village after getting married instead of returning to the city. Liu Cuixia needed no further prompts from Xu Mumu; she began to narrate extensively.
Since they were allowed to return to the city, only a few remained in the village. So had kids here; so even forced divorces and abandoned their children, gallantly heading back to the city.
The ones left either found no prospects in the city, were too old, or had children here, or simply didn’t want to return.
Of course, Song Jiayan wasn’t the case; the Zhao Dashan family simply wouldn’t let her go.
Zhao Dashan is quite old, had a child from his previous wife, and a son with Song Jiayan, who was still young and evidently capable of having more children. The marriage certificate was completely controlled by Zhao Dashan, who refused to agree to a divorce.
Although Song Jiayan cut ties with her family, her mother still couldn’t bear her daughter suffering, occasionally providing so help, so the Zhao family wouldn’t let her go, exploiting all the benefits they could get through Song Jiayan.
The Zhao family was a big surna in the Red River Team, with at least half the people bearing the Zhao na, all descending from the sa ancestry.
Zhao Dashan’s house was not far from Liu Cuixia’s, right in the center of the village, surrounded by many families. Anything happening at Zhao Dashan’s house could be heard first by the neighboring hos.
Especially Qian Chunhua, who loved watching the commotion. Ever since Zhao Dashan returned, that branch of the Zhao family never ceased to be lively. Liu Cuixia’s favorite activity now was to sit under the camphor tree outside Zhao Dashan’s house, doing minor works like nding clothes or sewing shoe soles while enjoying the bustling gossip.
There were many won in the village who idly entertained themselves similarly, gathering around to watch the excitent.
Improvents had been made here, attracting many visitors. Plenty turned their hos into guest houses, saving up so money, spending leisurely ti gossiping about family matters, enjoying life comfortably.
Since Song Jiayan returned, there had been constant unrest over there.
Especially since Song Jiayan got pregnant, needing this and that all day long. Initially, Zhao Dashan’s old mother tolerated her, hoping Song Jiayan would bear her a grandson.
However, Song Jiayan beca increasingly demanding after pregnancy, almost fighting with Zhao Dashan’s old mother.
After giving birth to a son, Song Jiayan beca even more demanding, ordering Zhao Dashan’s daughter from his previous marriage around.
Since Song Jiayan had given birth to a grandson, Zhao Dashan’s old mother let her have her way.
But later, Song Jiayan sent the young girl to find so wild berries in the mountains to eat. The girl did go up, but it being cold, she didn’t co down for more than a day, with Zhao Dashan’s family oblivious until Chunya, living next door to Zhao Dashan, discovered the girl was missing.
Chunya had a good relationship with the girl and went to ask questions, leading to Zhao Dashan’s family realizing the child was gone.
The team leader organized a search in the mountains, but when they found her, only a few torn clothing pieces and blood stains remained, with wolf fur scattered everywhere.
