Chapter 112 - 112

Chapter 112 Joining in the FunYun Ting and her companions hurried to Second Scoundrel's house, where a large crowd had already gathered."Hey, Meihua, little educated youth Yun, over here!" Aunt Liu spotted them with sharp eyes and immediately waved excitedly.The two immediately squeezed through."How's it going? Have you seen that young wife yet?""Hey... let me tell you! That young wife is quite pretty!""Look how envious you are! What will your daughter-in-law think if she finds out?""Haha... No, my daughter-in-law is a reasonable person."Aunt Liu's son, Li Quan, got married last year.His wife was a girl from Liushutun, her hometown, who was introduced to him by Aunt Meihua.The girl was outgoing and a bit feisty, but not a bad person. Li Quan was quiet, so they complemented each other perfectly."Hey, what are you all doing gathered at my doorstep? Get out of here! I don't have anything to offer you." Xu Guifang shouted at the crowd, but his smugness was obvious." Xu Guifang, isn't your family having a new baby? Aren't you going to have a banquet?""Go away, I've already emptied my pockets, where would I get the money to treat people to drinks?""Then why don't you let your daughter-in-law come out and let us see her!""What? My daughter-in-law wants to come out for a stroll and show herself off to you? Hurry up and go back to see your own daughter-in-law, and stop eyeing other people's."Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, everyone dispersed.However, the next day, Yun Ting finally saw the person in the spotlight.This girl is quite interesting. When I met her on the street, I kept staring at her and almost tripped."Do I have flowers on my face?" Yun Ting asked her directly.She shook her head, her face turning red, leavingYun Ting completely bewildered."This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful girl like you, I couldn't help but take a second look."Yun Ting was pleased by her explanation; finally, someone noticed her beauty?"Whose family are you? I don't think I've seen you before." Yun Ting had already guessed in her heart that the new face in the village could only be Second Scoundrel's new wife, the person everyone was talking about yesterday."I just arrived yesterday. My husband is Li Baojun."Her answer confirmed Yun Ting's guess. Yun Ting secretly observed her and found that she did not resist at all.Wow! How did Second Scoundrel manage to get her to accept it willingly?"Oh, I've heard about it." Yun Ting said and was about to leave, not intending to get to know them better, after all, she didn't want to get involved with their family and was afraid of trouble."Hey, my name is Tao Meier, what's yours? Can we get to know each other?"" Yun Ting …However, you shouldn't get too close to me, it's not good for you.""ah?"Seeing her dazed and innocent look, Yun Tingfelt a pang of sadness and hoped that Li Baojunwould treat her well!People only had a brief period of novelty at first.However, Tao Meier got along well with the villagers. The aunties in the village had a good impression of her, saying that she was a hardworking, capable, and straightforward girl.Second Scoundrel really hit the jackpot this time.Although Li Baojun's foot injury delayed his treatment, he could still walk, but his leg was lame and he couldn't do heavy work, so he never left the house.After getting married, he unexpectedly became a different person and was willing to go out to work.I heard that he treats his wife very well. Xu Guifang originally thought that since she had spent so much money to buy his wife, she should give her a good beating to make it worthwhile. But she didn't expect that her son would protect her so well, so she gave up on that idea. She couldn't afford to quarrel with her son over this."I'm telling you, men really do change once they get married. Look at Second Scoundrel, he's even willing to work honestly now.""Who can argue with that! We've finally settled into a normal life."Xu Guifang overheard the villagers' discussionsand suddenly felt that he had made a good choice in marrying this daughter-in-law, hoping she could help his son change for the better, so he didn't care about the eighty yuan.She could let everything else slide, but she couldn't stand her daughter-in-law eagerly following along like a little Educated Youth Yun.She and Yun, the young educated youth, were known to be at odds in the village. How could her daughter-in-law go out of her way to get along with him?Tao Meier just liked to hang out with pretty girls; she had never seen such a beautiful girl when she was in the mountains.She often went to see Yun Ting, so she naturally discovered Yang Qingqing. Then, she became familiar with both of them, which was her own perception.Tao Meier was known to everyone as a harmless girl, but when she came down the mountain alone carrying a wild boar, she almost made everyone's jaws drop."That...that's Tao Meier? I'm not seeing things, am I?""It really is her.""My goodness... this girl is so fierce! She just killed such a big wild boar like that?"Yun Ting was quite surprised to hear this news, but then she thought that it was normal for a girl from the mountains to know how to hunt.Xu Guifang was overjoyed that her precious daughter-in-law could hunt wild boars, but when she learned that the wild boars she hunted were being shared with the villagers, she was heartbroken and wanted to curse, but she didn't dare to curse Tao Meier. So she pointed at the villagers and cursed them, but since everyone had meat to eat, they didn't hold it against her.Anyway, from this time on, the villagers liked Tao Meier very much, but they still avoided her mother-in-law.Now Tao Meier has finally established himself in the village.However, Yun Ting increasingly felt that Tao Meier was acting strangely, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.She often wanders around the school area, and when she meets someone and they ask her, she says that she never went to school in the mountains and wants to see what it's like for children to attend classes.She also frequently sought out Yun Ting to chat, mostly about children at school, which onlydeepened Yun Ting's suspicions." Beauty Yang, don't you think there's something off about Tao Meier?""You mean she keeps coming to the school to see Child?"Yun Ting nodded. "Think about it! It's understandable to be curious at first, but you can't be curious forever, right? You'll lose interest in the novelty.""Could it be that she likes Child, so...""Do you think that's a valid reason? How much can a child who isn't their own really like you?""I don't know."The two discussed it for a while, but couldn't come to a conclusion.Until several children from the school went missing, Yun Ting seemed to have a sudden flash of inspiration.Those children were from the lower grades, or even from neighboring brigades. At first, no one noticed, but it wasn't until it was getting dark that their parents came looking for them and discovered that the children were missing.Yun Ting immediately went to Second Scoundrel's house.Upon seeing her, Xu Guifang said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh...a rare guest!"Where is your daughter-in-law?"What do you want with her?""Stop talking nonsense... Is he here or not?" Yun Ting said coldly.She was startled. "What... are you doing? I'm not afraid of you."Yun Ting went straight into her room and searched around, but neither Tao Meier nor Li Baojun were there.This was definitely premeditated. Without thinking twice, she quickly turned and ran outside.
