Chapter 106: Bad Things

  At night, Qiao Wei came to my house and said that there were many guests at home, so her aunt asked her to come and sleep with me, and the bed was given to relatives. We haven't slept together for a long time, but now we're happy again. Lying in bed, we whispered to each other.

  Xiao Wei looked worried: "Sigh, Yun'er, what do you think I should do to help my cousin? Shouldn't we just tell my mom about their situation and be done with it?" I shook my head: "Let's wait for now! Yu Tao will have a plan." "But..." she was still anxious.

  "If you're really anxious, then why don't we take the initiative and go ask Shui Ge tomorrow?" I suggested. "But after all, we are just kids, they won't talk to us." "Hmm? I think it's a good idea, let's do that, I'll go ask him tomorrow and see how he explains himself." Qiao Xue jumped up excitedly. That night we fell asleep amidst laughter and chatter. When we woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky. Another day of play was about to begin.

  Cui Hui went home to wash up, and before she left, she whispered to me: "Yun'er, wait for a while and accompany me to find Shuige." I held her back: "No, let's go see Yutao first and see if she has any ideas. If not, we can ask later." "Okay, then listen to you. I'll go back and have breakfast first." After finishing speaking, she hurried away.

  I slowly got up and washed, Mom had already been busy in the kitchen. A big family's breakfast was enough to keep her busy. My sister's room also added a bed because we invited Auntie and Aunt to watch the opera. Our village has a rule that when there is a big show, we must invite female guests from our own family to come and watch, male guests are also welcome but they won't stay overnight, only female guests will stay until the end of the show before leaving.

  Everyone got up, and my sister was helping in the kitchen. After I finished washing up, lunch was ready. My sister smiled and said: "You little lazybones, have you had a good sleep?" I stretched and shook my legs: "I've slept well, and now I'm hungry. Can I eat a lot again?

  Everyone sat around the big table eating, my aunt looked at me: "This little girl is Xiaoyun, right? Half a year hasn't seen her grow up so pretty, she's become a big girl now." I smiled sweetly: "Aunt always says nice things, but I like it. Hehe!" "This kid, you call her fat and she gets happy." My mom laughed and scolded. "Yes, I think Xiaoyun looks better and better as she grows up." My aunt also chimed in from the side.

  Sister looked gloomy: "They say that when a girl turns eighteen, she becomes more and more beautiful. This sentence really suits my little sister. It's just not suitable for me." In fact, my sister looks a bit better than me, with big eyes, but her skin tone is slightly worse, probably because of frequent night shifts. Hmm, I should ask Mo to give me another bottle of Snow White cream to give to my sister, so she'll become more and more beautiful too.

  My older sister was 23 years old when I was 15, and it's time for her to get married. In our village, there are few unmarried girls in their twenties, but my family likes to keep them at home. All the children have to study for over a decade before starting work. There are many women like my sister who are not married in their twenties in the city, so she's not anxious, but other relatives and friends in our family are getting anxious.

  I remember that my sister's husband was introduced by relatives, but it seems that he is not my elder sister's true love. Their life after marriage can only be described as barely getting by. So, can I help my sister find her true love? But if I do, wouldn't that mean the original brother-in-law would be gone, and what about my nephew? Wouldn't he change too? Ah, it's all so confusing! Should I intervene or not? It's been a long time since I've seen Mu, with so many questions, it seems like I have to see her once.

  Just after eating, Qiao Wei came and pulled me to run outside, saying urgently: "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!" I quickly stopped in my tracks: "What's going on? Don't be anxious, stop and say it slowly." Outside, standing under a tree in our courtyard, Qiao Wei looked worried: "Haven't you heard? Shui Ge's mother is scolding someone, and she's using very foul language." "What? Who is she scolding during the New Year?" I asked curiously.

  Here is the translation:

  "It's like this, I went home in the morning and my mom told me that yesterday, Shui Ge's mother arranged a blind date for him. Our village isn't known for its opera performances, but his mother was afraid he wouldn't go on the blind date, so she asked the matchmaker to bring the person to their home. But unexpectedly, Shui Ge ran out and didn't come back all day, which made his mother furious. She scolded him, saying that some fox spirit had taken her son's soul away... Ah, I don't know what to say anymore. Anyway, she might still be scolding now, let's go take a look!" Cui Hui said.

  As for Shui Ge's mother, in the village, she is considered a formidable figure, known for her sharp tongue and love of scolding people. Her loud voice can go on forever when she starts scolding someone, sometimes it feels like listening to an opera performance, one sentence at a time. Shui Ge's father is a honest and down-to-earth person, who spends his days working hard and never says anything harsh. The combination of these two people is really complementary!

  When we ran to the vicinity of Yutao's sister's home, we indeed heard Shuige's mother scolding someone. It seemed like she was scolding towards Yutao's sister's courtyard. "I didn't expect her to be a loose woman, thinking about men all day, going outside to find them, why did she have to harm my son? She only knows how to seduce men, her own husband was killed by her, and now she wants to kill my son too! I absolutely won't agree to this......" Good heavens! Isn't she clearly scolding Yutao's sister? Has his mother already found out about their affair?

  Hurry to Yutao's home, why is it so empty and cold? Where are the people? Where is Xiaobao? Usually at this time, Xiaobao would run out and pull our hands to run around, but today? Is he still not awake? Entering the room, I saw Yutao sitting blankly, her face pale and haggard, probably didn't sleep all night.

  "Table sister, where's Xiaobao?" Yu Tao sister raised her head and saw that we had arrived, and a hint of hatred flashed in her eyes. Although it was only for an instant, I still saw it. What's going on? Weren't things fine yesterday?

  "You guys leave, don't interfere with my business. You're just pretending to care." She said coldly.

  "Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking to us like this?" Qiao Wei was confused. I thought for a moment and understood why Yu Tao sister was treating us like this. I pulled Qiao Wei along and said, "Sigh, she must have misunderstood us."

  Qiao Wei immediately became anxious: "Sister, how could you misunderstand us? We're all doing it for your own good!"

  "Hmph, what a great 'for my own good'! What a great sister-in-law! Haha!" Yu Tao sister laughed bitterly and then pointed outside with her hand: "Get out! Don't let me see you guys again!"
