”I can’t tell my mother about this first. I’ll buy it back first.”

　　Wang Shitou said to Xingger.

　　Only her son is good at executing first and reporting later. If Xing’er does this, he can forget about living a peaceful life. He nodded and said he understood.

　　In fact, after he got over the grievance, when he lay on the kang at night, Xing Ge’er thought that having a stove was not a big deal. But it was obviously not a big deal, it didn’t cost much money, and it was quite convenient, so why did his mother-in-law have to criticize him?

　　He also put an accusation on him, saying implicitly that he didn’t care about Yuanyuan.

　　Xing Ge’er turned over angrily and was held in Wang Shitou’s arms. “What’s the matter? Didn’t you say you wanted to buy a stove? I’ll go to my uncle’s house tomorrow.”

　　”After I got angry, I started thinking, do you think this stove is really that bad? What if…” Xing Ge’er asked in a low voice.

　　Wang Shitou was a rough man, and was so sleepy that he didn’t understand what Xing Ge’er wanted to say after listening halfway, so he asked directly: “So do you want it or not?”

　　”Yes!” Xing’er was still angry with his sister-in-law and mother-in-law.

　　Closing his eyes, he was still tangled in his heart, thinking that if this was really bad luck, after all, it was for decocting medicine… The next morning after breakfast, Xing Ge’er went to the Li family. The Li family had finished their meal early, and Li Zhouzhou had washed the pots and bowls and was cleaning the pig and chicken pens in the backyard, cleaning up what needed to be cleaned.

　　When Li Zhouzhou saw Xing Ge’er coming so early, he knew that he had something to say.

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”It’s about the stove. I feel upset and angry. Why did Wang Shitou’s mother say that to me…” Xing Ge’er said angrily, and then asked carefully at the end: “Is there really no problem with this stove?”

　　Li Zhouzhou didn’t know what to say after hearing this. Xing Ge’er stumped him with his question. He couldn’t promise anything, so he said seriously, “At first, it was about the medicine furnace. You know how my father died? He died because he lost the medicinal properties when he was taking medicine and decocting it. I recognized it at a glance when my husband drew it.”

　　”Then you don’t feel uncomfortable?” Xing Ge’er asked.

　　Li Zhouzhou shook his head. “No, I know my husband wants this for the good of me and my father, so I think those unfounded things are nothing.”

　　”I don’t believe these, I believe in my husband.”

　　Xing Ge’er thought so too, but then he thought again that his situation was different from Li Zhouzhou’s, and said worriedly: “If you don’t want to, then you really don’t want to. As long as you have a husband, it’s fine. Alas, I can’t do that. If I take the stove back, my mother-in-law will take the opportunity to make trouble. But if I don’t have the stove, I will be angry again…”

　　Gu Zhao was reading in the inner room. He came out to get a cup of hot water and heard the two talking about the stove. He nodded to Xing Ge’er and called him, “Cousin,” as a greeting.

　　Xing Ge’er couldn’t complain to Li Zhouzhou, so he said, “I’ll go back first. Yuanyuan is still waiting for me at home. I’ll think about it.”

　　”If you really want to use the stove but are afraid, why not go to Shili Village tomorrow and ask the clay craftsman to carve auspicious words on it when he is burning the stove?” Gu Zhao suggested.

　　You say that medicine furnace is unlucky, then don’t use a medicine furnace. Call it a furnace of wealth and peace, call it a furnace of peace and safety, pick one at random. It’s all superstition. You can think of the worst, why don’t you hope for something good?

　　Li Zhouzhou listened and said, “Yes, this is a good idea.”

　　”Won’t Zhou Zhou praise me?” Gu Zhao asked his wife.

　　Xing Ge’er was here, and his husband was teasing him again. Li Zhouzhou felt a little embarrassed, but he pretended to be calm and said, “My husband is really smart.”

　　”Of course, don’t you see whose husband you are?” Gu Zhao was well-behaved and proud.

　　Li Zhouzhou’s ears turned red with embarrassment, and he didn’t pretend this time.

　　But Xing Ge’er didn’t notice it either. He was shocked by the conversation between the couple. He had never seen such a man before. He was not like him at all. Anyway, it was strange. No wonder Li Zhouzhou loved his husband so much. He was young, sweet and could act like a spoiled child. He would talk like this when he was angry with Wang Shitou.

　　Even Mr. Li Zhouzhou’s words are not as pleasant to the ears.

　　Got it. I’ll try it on Wang Shitou next time.

　　”That’s a good idea. Now I feel at ease. I’ll ask Wang Shitou and uncle to go to Shili Village together tomorrow. Zhou Zhou, you talk to uncle.”

　　”Um.”

　　After Xing Ge’er solved his troubles, he hurried back, otherwise his mother-in-law would say he was wild again.

　　The next morning, Wang Shitou arrived at Li’s house carrying a bamboo basket. Li Da had breakfast early, went out with the basket on his back, said hello and set off. It was still early when they arrived at Shili Village, so they went straight to Zhu Nijiang’s house.

　　Zhu Nijiang’s son opened the door and invited Li Da into the yard. He glanced at Wang Shitou who was following behind. After Li Da introduced them, Zhu Nijiang came out. When Li Da saw him, he directly told him what Gu Zhao said.
