Chapter 53 Part 2
Early that morning, Yang Shifeng was making trouble with Shiyi in the quilt. Suddenly, he heard a rapid knock outside of the door, which scared Yang Shifeng into shooting it out directly. His face immediately stiffened.
“Pfft—” Shiyi couldn’t hold back her laughter. She covered her mouth and laughed. She didn’t intend to cover her mouth, but she was afraid of hurting her man’s self-confidence, so she had to cover her mouth.
Yang Shifeng looked at Shiyi’s smiling face, which was actually the same as not covering his mouth. His face became darker. A man couldn’t bear it. He held Shiyi and kissed her lips. He bit her hard, which made Shiyi beg for mercy again and again. “Well, I don’t mean to laugh. I know it’s not your normal level. You’re powerful. You can see how miserable I cry when you do that to me. “
Yang Shifeng became more and more uncomfortable. He coughed and got up, his ears red. Grandpa Yang was already shouting outside.
Yang Shifeng quickly put on his clothes and opened the door under Shiyi’s intense gaze. Grandpa Yang saw Yang Shifeng coming out and knew that he might have disturbed the couple, but things were a little urgent right now and he couldn’t care so much.
“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
“Some people made trouble in the village head’s house. Not only were things smashed, but both the old couple were injured. The young boys in the village have gone to take a look. We can’t let the village head have any accidents. Go and have a look. We’ll look too indifferent if we don’t show up. “
As soon as Yang Shifeng heard this, he immediately sulked and hurriedly went in to talk to Shiyi. Shiyi thought it was nothing and let him go there.
Yang Shifeng wasn’t able to come back until it was noon. Shiyi took his hand and asked, “What’s going on over there?”
“It was Song Dawei who caused the incident. The village head’s family didn’t have the money to compensate the family, so the family came and asked the village head to take out the money Dawei owed them. The village head wasn’t able to take out so much money, so they smashed the belongings of the village head’s family and beat the village head and his wife. Fortunately, there were people in the village. They did not let the old couple suffer major injuries.”
Grandpa Yang also asked anxiously, “How did you deal with it later?”
Yang Shifeng shook his head. “The village head took out all the money he could get. He said there was really no money in their hands. If they continue to make trouble, they would kill Song Dawei and make amends. The family saw that there was really no other way, so they took the money and left. They beat up Song Dawei severely before letting him go. ” What Yang Shifeng didn’t say is that they may have beaten Song Dawei so severely that even his family jewels were abolished.
Grandpa Yang breathed a sigh of relief. “This is the best result. The village head’s family can’t afford more. “
Yang Shifeng nodded and stopped talking about that.
But the Yang family has a shop after all. People come and go every day. Even if you don’t want to know, you will know more. Every day, women chat about gossip in the village while shopping.
When Shiyi was free, she simply moved the bench to sit behind the counter, knocked melon seeds, and listened with interest.
“You know, Song Dawei was beaten so badly that he was swollen. I heard he couldn’t even eat. He had to lie down all day to recover from his injury.”
“I know, my family went over that day. That bastard, Song Dawei, was beaten so severely that he no longer looked like a human. I’ll tell you, it’s more than that.
I heard that the creditors didn’t ask for so much money in the end, they simply abolished Song Dawei’s family jewel. They said that, with that, he would never hook up with a married woman in the future.”
“Ah? ‘That’ is useless? Isn’t that… “
Shiyi’s eyes brightened, and she listened more carefully.
Looking at Shiyi, how she was very interested in the topic, Yang Shifeng reluctantly shook his head and pinched her pinkish face, causing Shiyi to wrinkle her nose at him.
Shiyi ignored the man and continued to listen.
“No, the village head’s family has only one seedling. In the future, there is no hope. The Song family will go extinct. “
Another man shook his head and said, “In fact, there is still Song Cuilan. If Song Cuilan can recruit a door-to-door son-in-law, the child’s surname will become Song, and the Song family will not vanish. “
“That’s right, but the Song family has nothing now. It’s different from before. Will there still be a person willing to come to their house and be a son-in-law? It’s hard.”
“It’s hard. I guess that no one wants to do it.”
Shiyi was not interested in the next topic. She stuffed the melon seeds in her hand into Yang Shifeng and went to the medical room to be busy.
Shiyi didn’t expect that after some time, things would progress again. The people who came to the house to talk about gossip had a new situation to broadcast, Shiyi took a look and knew that there was big gossip, and now she was already bored, so she reached out towards Yang Shifeng again and gave him a wink.
Yang Shifeng can now easily understand what she wanted to convey from her eyes. He immediately helplessly pinched her small nose, “You.”
Shiyi’s hand-stretched forward again.
Yang Shifeng grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the box containing melon seeds and gave them to her. Then he saw her knock melon seeds and listened to gossip openly.
Originally, Shiyi thought that the topic of gossip was Song Dawei, the obscene man. Unexpectedly, it was about Song Cuilan.
“Do you know, the village head really found a door-to-door son-in-law for Song Cuilan!”
“Ah? Apart from the good house, the village head’s house is completely empty. Why would the man agree? “
“Most men won’t agree, but the one the village head found for Song Cuilan was an orphan whose parents died and doesn’t look very good. Knowing that little girl, Song Cuilan, still looked very good, the man agreed.”
“No wonder. If you are an orphan, you don’t care about being a son-in-law who will marry into the girl’s family. Coupled with the ugly looks, he wouldn’t be able to marry a wife. The village head is willing to marry his daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower. Why would he not be willing? “
“That’s true, but that girl, Cuilan, has a heart that’s too high. Can she still be willing to marry him? “
“I don’t know the specifics. Anyway, they promised. The man is now living in the village head’s house. I’ve seen it once from a distance. He doesn’t seem to be as tall as Cuilan. “
“Ah? Doesn’t the village head have a wedding ceremony or something? Just live in a place like this?”
“What wedding ceremony? It’s estimated that two people will worship at home. If you have a banquet, do you think you can afford it with the current appearance of the village head’s house? There’s nothing valuable in that house.”
“That’s right. I’ll go to the village head’s house next time. Maybe I can see it. “
Shiyi listened to their conversation until they left the shop. She threw away the melon seed shell and stretched her body. She didn’t feel much about the content just now, and then went to work on her own affairs.

NOTE: NO UPDATE FOR THIS WEEK, I'M CURRENTLY FIXING SCHEDULES OF UPDATES AND ETC. ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ Hi~ Lucia here~ I love translating 60s-90s and Ancient Times themed novels! If you have any recommendations for me to translate or pick up, feel free to comment below~ Oh, If you like my translation, please consider buying me a coffee 🍵☕
I feel pity to Cuilan if the gossip is true. Her life turn 180°C in an instant. You really couldn’t tell the future. The parents also at fault for not disciplining their children. Especially their son when they were young.
Anyway, thanks for the chapter
I’d argue that Cuilan has no fault in the matter at all. The sole fault lies with the spoilt rotten son Dawei and the parents that made him that way. What did Cuilan do that would let her deserve being called undisciplined? Fell in love with the wrong person, got her heart broken, then fiercely resisted being sold to a scumbag in order to save her equally scumbag brother?
