Chapter 74

Xu Yin glanced outside and whispered, “Yang Maimiao’s family.”

Maimiao’s mother came with Maimiao, looking very quiet, still a little afraid of old man and old lady Lu.

The kitchen was on the west side of the courtyard, so the first people to see were the two of them in the kitchen.

“Shen Wu!”

“Xu Yin!”

Xu Yin just nodded slightly, Shen Wu greeted, “Why are you here?”

Yang Maimiao’s face was a little red, Maimiao’s mother smiled and said, “I secretly went to find someone in our village who can tell fortunes, and they calculated that the eighth is a good day, suitable for moving to a new house and getting married.”

The eighth is five days later.

Even if there is no preparation, it will be soon.

Mai Miao’s mother raised the red paper in her hand, “I want to find someone to write a happy character. In our village, your father-in-law was the best at writing it. He went to a private school with the landlord’s son for several years, and he writes very well with a brush and a fountain pen.”

“But now I think about it, your father-in-law probably won’t be willing to write for me.”

Mai Miao’s mother guessed correctly. She knocked on the door to discuss the wedding date and went there with a smile. Shen Wu heard the unhappy voice of old man Lu from the room, and he even threw the bowl out…

Xu Yin suddenly asked, “I remember they had five bowls in total, and two of them were broken in less than an hour.”

Shen Wu: “Tsk, I have to hide my bowl. Lu Xuan and I have three bowls in total.”

Xu Yin: “Be content. Lu Ye and I have two bowls and three pairs of chopsticks.”

Mai Miao’s mother came over soon, with some helplessness on her face, “Your parents-in-law really don’t want to write. They said that Lu Feng will be a member of our family in the future, and they don’t care about the wedding date.”

“I’ll find someone to write it, and then I’ll try to see if I can buy some meat. I only have one daughter, so the wedding should be celebrated properly.” Maimiao’s mother has only one daughter, and she has been looked down upon by the villagers. But she wants to do better and make her daughter glorious.

Yang Maimiao and her daughter.

Xu Yin sighed.

The two of them stopped and looked at Xu Yin with some confusion.

Xu Yin raised her chin coldly, “I can write calligraphy. If you can’t find anyone, you can come to me. If you don’t trust me, you can find someone else.”

Shen Wu said quickly to the arrogant little Yin Yin, “She writes calligraphy very well.”

Xu Yin’s parents believe that practicing calligraphy is the best way to cultivate one’s character. She has practiced calligraphy for many years.

Xu Yin looked cold and difficult to get along with, but she gave people a very reliable feeling. Mai Miao’s mother had a lot of experience and knew that some people were cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She smiled and said, “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

“Write two big characters and I’ll paste them on the wall at the door. I’ll use scissors to cut some window decorations in the yard.”

She had already prepared the big red paper, but there was no ink, so Mai Miao’s mother quickly ran to the brigade to borrow ink and a brush.

Xu Yin spread the red paper on the small table in the yard where people usually eat, and put it out. Others were watching from all sides. Mai Miao’s face was very excited, and her little face was flushed.

…

In the west wing, Long Yujiao searched around and found that Shen Wu had not only stolen her latest letter, but also the previous letters. The money she had finally asked for was actually given to Shen Wu.

No, Xu Yin also partnered with her.

Looking out the window, she saw Shen Wu and Xu Yin standing on one side, watching her write with admiration.

Shouldn’t this be the look of an enemy?

No!

Very wrong!

Points that she had never paid attention to in the past were replaying in her mind at this moment.

She approached Xu Yin for cooperation twice, but Xu Yin never paid attention to her. Instead, she ridiculed her, saying that Shen Wu had a pretty face. The second time, she almost strangled her to death…

Another time, Pan’er said that Shen Wu and Xu Yin had a fight, and Xu Yin was covered in blood, but she did not deny it.

It is obvious that Xu Yin’s fighting ability is much stronger than Shen Wu, so how could she be beaten by Shen Wu.

And this time they teamed up to rob her money.

The two of them may not be enemies at all, and she was just harmed by some rumors!

Splitting up the family, betrothal gifts, stealing letters, robbing money, and even making her miserable, and having to serve Old Man and Old Lady Lu were all in their plan.

When she thought of this possibility, Long Yujiao felt cold all over her body, staring at the people in the yard, and her fingernails dug into the flesh without any pain, but only hatred!

Why?

She had no grudges against them, why did they hurt her like this?

Xu Yin’s handwriting is very good, with a sense of style. Yang Maimiao’s mother is very satisfied and muttered, “I think this is better than what Old Man Lu wrote.”

Old Man Lu, who was smoking in the bedroom, heard this and his face darkened again.

The first day of separation.

Everyone cooks their own food and eats their own food. Shen Wu and Xu Yin’s things are actually still together.

When they cook, one burns the firewood while the other cooks. When Lu Ye ate, he sighed, “Wife, I didn’t expect your cooking skills are so good! Not worse than the third sister-in-law.”

Xu Yin… She can only make some simple salads. If she makes it for Lu Ye, he will only doubt that he is a kind of rural animal.

“It was Shen Wu who cooked it.”

Lu Ye looked up, “Don’t you two have a bad relationship? You still cook together after the separation?”

“Well, she doesn’t know how to burn firewood.”

Xu Yin’s excuse was perfunctory enough. How many cooks don’t know how to burn firewood? But Lu Ye really didn’t doubt it at all. Instead, he nodded sincerely, “So that’s how it is.”

The eldest brother Lu was different. He felt that the food was tasteless and looked at Li Ping, “Ping, you are more reluctant to use oil than mother!”

The two children also nodded, “Third aunt cooks deliciously.”

“There are only a few things in the separation. You should be grateful for what you have to eat.” Li Ping herself was not very happy to eat, “Eat it if you like.”

Wang Hua didn’t complain. The two of them didn’t cook much.

Pan’er looked up while eating and said, “Mom, Third aunt cooks deliciously. Will we not be able to eat Third aunt’s food in the future?”

“Mom, take some time to learn from your Third aunt.”

Pan’er cheered, “Great!”

After cheering, he lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl.

Lu Laoliu hadn’t even finished his meal yet, and he

was already thinking about whether he could go to his third brother’s house for a meal. While eating his dry steamed buns made of two-grain flour, he sighed in his heart that he was lucky to be marrying into the wife’s family soon. Lu Xuan didn’t feel the decline in his quality of life at all, but rather felt that it had improved.

After eating, he took a shower and washed his clothes, including Shen Wu’s clothes.

Seeing that he was still washing clothes for his wife, Lu Laoda frowned, “Third brother, I’m not saying anything to you, but these clothes are washed by the women in the room. Why are you doing the opposite and washing clothes for the women in the room?”

“This is outrageous, you don’t act like a real man at all.”

Lu Xuan wrung out the water from the clothes and looked at his eldest brother who was pointing fingers, “My wife said that if you listen to her, you can have enough to eat. Did you have enough today, brother?”

After saying that, the man left.

Boss Lu stared at Lu Xuan’s back with eyes wide open, he didn’t know how to appreciate a good person!

His stomach growled.

Boss Lu cursed his third brother twice in the back.

Shen Wu in the room took out the money, and then took out a letter, an envelope, and stationery. It was exactly the letter that Long Yujiao was looking for, with the date printed on the postmark and a stamp.

Only an envelope went into the fire, and it wasn’t the original envelope. She made a bet that she would not give him the letter, but only read out the contents inside. Long Yujiao didn’t dare let anyone expose her true identity. When

Lu Xuan pushed the door open, he saw his wife holding an envelope with a lot of money in her hand –
