"You just keep the eggs for yourself." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "We wonât keep you for the wedding feast either."
Yang Daju felt a bit embarrassed and could only hold the basket and smile awkwardly: "Then Iâll head off." She said, turning around.
"Wait a second." Yang Ruxin suddenly called out to her.
Yang Daju quickly stopped in her tracks.
"Settle the medical fees from when I treated you before." Yang Ruxin glanced at her lightly, "As for lodging and breakfast, letâs forget about it on account of being neighbors." She glanced at Du Chengxiu, "Uncle Du, just charge her the rate for treating the villagers." After speaking, she turned and went back into the courtyard.
Du Chengxiu stepped forward: "My wife is valuable, but she usually only charges a symbolic fee for treating the villagers, just give ten wen."
Yang Dajuâs face turned awkward at once, but seeing the disdainful gaze of those around her, she could only nod, took out her pocket and counted out ten wen to hand over.
Du Chengxiu took it and casually handed over a piece of wedding pastry: "Share the joy, everyone you meet gets a sweet taste."
The wedding pastries were made entirely with white flour, sugar, red bean paste, sesame, and crushed peanuts. If you calculate it, the cost is probably more than ten wen, but it was to show to the whole village that Yang Ruxinâs side would no longer associate with Yang Dajuâs branch.
Yang Daju wasnât foolish; she realized she offended everyone by acting like this today. However, as a woman, there wasnât much she could do, so she could only take the wedding pastry and hurry off.
Watching Yang Dajuâs retreating back, the village chief sighed: "When her parents were still alive, I didnât notice this child was so slow, whatâs happened now..."
"Everyone has their fate." The Third Great Uncle nearby took a sip from his wine cup, "We canât manage so much, so you just need to have a clear conscience."
"Understood, Third Great Uncle." The village chief nodded, "Iâm just a bit emotional."
"However, if Wang Baozhu continues like this, itâll ruin the atmosphere." The Third Great Uncle sighed, "By rights, she should be thrown into the pond, but we havenât enforced such punishment here for many years." It was indeed too cruel.
"Iâll discuss it with the Ma Family." The village chief nodded, "When the Wang Family had issues, I felt sorry for her being so young, who knew..." But itâs hard to figure out how to deal with such a woman.
Despite the incident, it didnât affect the wedding or the crowdâs enthusiasm at all, continuing lively until the sun hung low in the sky before they dispersed.
In a room on the second floor of the Auspicious Building.
Gu Yao held Erni, calming his breath. Although they hadnât taken the final step, everything that could have happened already had. Although the end left him uncomfortable, he was willing. Luckily, there was only one month left, and his wife would come of age, then his hardship would end.
"Xuexue." Gu Yao nodded, looking at the girl nestled in his arms like a docile kitten, he pondered aloud, "Are you asleep?"
Erni shook her head, she had waited for so long, finally, she had waited for the man to return, and she was reluctant to sleep.
"I have something I want to tell you." Gu Yao contemplated and spoke.
Erniâs body stiffened, then she suddenly lifted her head, wide-eyed looking at Gu Yao: "Brother Ayao, take me."
