"You said it yourself. That was in the past."

Zhou thought of the ferocious rooster, which liked to chase and bite people when it grew up. It had pecked off a small piece of meat from her.

No one at home dared to get close to it, so Cui Yunzhu had to feed it every day.

There were often traces of pecks on her hands, old and new. But Zhou and Cui's father didn't care. They only cared about someone fattening the rooster so that they could have more meat to eat during the New Year.

Zhou saw that Cui Yunzhu was unharmed except for her injured hand which was wrapped in a cloth. She was very clean and tidy, not at all like someone had just killed a chicken.

She was about to back off, but when she heard Cui Yunzhu's arrogant words, and thought that Cui Yunzhu even dared to push her precious son, Zhou, who was used to being strong at home, the fear in her heart disappeared long ago.

Zhou raised her arm and was ready to slap Cui Yunzhu who was approaching.

The slap came straight towards her face. It was obvious that Zhou was using all her strength. Cui Yunzhu tried to grab Zhou's wrist, but her hand reached out but was empty.

"Wait a minute!"

A large hand with distinct joints stretched out from behind Zhou and grabbed Zhou's wrist firmly before Cui Yunzhu. Zhou, who was very strong, tried his best to break free.

As soon as the man's voice came out, Cui Yunzhu's heart started beating like thunder.

She looked up and saw Chen Yan walking out slowly from behind the door, holding Zhou's hand but not daring to let go.

How could he come?

As soon as Cui Yunzhu saw Chen Yan, her nose suddenly felt sore and her eyes quickly became misty.

I feel happy, excited, and even more excited about meeting someone after a long separation.

She hadn't seen him for a long, long time.

It’s over. She didn’t know if he heard those harsh words she just said to Zhou. He didn’t think she was a cruel and vicious woman, did he?

As soon as Chen Yan walked in, he saw Cui Yunzhu with tears in her eyes. She was standing there pitifully, and it was obvious that she had been severely bullied by her mother.

He frowned and put more strength on his hands.

"Ahhhhhh! Someone come! Someone's murdering someone! Chen Yan, what are you doing? Let me go!" Zhou's howling followed.

Father Cui also rushed over when he heard the noise. Seeing the situation in the house, his face looked very bad: "Mr. Chen, do you think that people from Xiaoqiao Village are easy to bully? You came to my house to cause trouble."

"I'm here to propose marriage. Can I just watch my unmarried wife being bullied? I, Chen Yan, don't have much ability, but I'm also a man."

Cui Yunzhu was amused.

Then he wondered why Chen Yan came to propose marriage today? The time was much earlier than in the previous life, and the person who came was not Wang, but himself.

After hearing this, Cui's father was so angry that he felt short of breath. He looked at the tall and mighty man in front of him and felt a little scared, but he still pretended to be tough and scolded: "You said I'm not a man? You broke into my house privately, I will arrest you and bring you to the officials to see if the officials recognize you as a man!"

"Why are you shouting? I was the one who brought him in. Otherwise, you can take me to the government office too, huh!" A man who looked to be over fifty years old snorted coldly and walked in.

Cui Yunzhu recognized that he was the younger brother of the head of the Cui family. He was old-fashioned and cared a lot about his reputation. The younger generations in the family had to call him "Third Uncle". According to seniority, Cui Yunzhu had to call him "Third Grandpa".

When Zhou saw Uncle Cui come in, she felt a black screen before her eyes. She thought of what those onlookers said before they left yesterday. She rolled her eyes, sat down on the ground and burst into tears: "Oh, what sin have I committed to give birth to such an ungrateful person..."

"Shut up! Aren't you embarrassed enough?"

Cui Yunzhu didn't know how Chen Yan persuaded Uncle Cui, but from the sound of his voice, he seemed very angry.

She looked at Chen Yan curiously, only to see him give her a soothing look. Cui Yunzhu simply stood aside and watched the show.

"You vicious woman! You still have the nerve to cry here. Although our Cui family has been farmers for generations and has not received much education, we still have to respect ourselves." Uncle Cui became impatient when he saw that Zhou was about to make trouble again.

When Father Cui heard that Uncle Cui was angry, he didn't dare to step forward to interrupt. Their family has never been close to this cousin, but after all he is the clan leader's younger brother. If they offend him, nothing good will come of it. Then they will have to use their status as an elder to suppress him.

People living in the village live a casual life. Every family has their own dirty deeds. How would others know about them if they stay at home?

But there is only one thing, don't do it too much and cause the clan to have opinions. Once they are disliked by the clan, their family will have no roots at all, and anyone can step on them. This is also the most fundamental reason why Father Cui is concerned about Uncle Cui.

Uncle Cui heard about the scene Zhou had made outside yesterday. A few elderly people told his eldest brother about it as a joke. He felt embarrassed when he heard it, but he didn't intend to interfere in the family affairs of his nephew from the next room.

But, alas!

Why did the Cui family marry such a stupid woman like Zhou? She even tries to make excuses.

idiot!

"You think I want to get involved in your family's mess! If it hadn't gotten your third aunt humiliated, I wouldn't even bother visiting your family!" Uncle Cui turned around and started scolding Cui's father. He couldn't go against Zhou anymore, otherwise he would probably want to kick her.

Cui Yunzhu thought about Uncle Cui's eldest grandson, who was also of marriageable age. In his previous life, he seemed to have married a new wife a month later. At that time, she was disfigured and became a joke in the village. She didn't dare to go out. She still heard Zhou scolding Uncle Cui after returning from the banquet: "You just married a good wife for your grandson. Why are you so poor and showing off?"

She just found out about this.

Could it be that the girl had heard what happened yesterday? Cui Yunzhu had to sigh again at the gossiping ability of the village ladies at this speed!

"Third Uncle..." Father Cui wanted to make a few more excuses.

"Shut up, sir. Your nephew has finally met a girl who is good in every way. Today, your aunt is preparing to go to the girl's family to offer a betrothal gift. Guess what? Humph! Her family heard about what happened yesterday from others and said they dare not marry their daughter to a family like ours." Uncle Cui became angrier and angrier as he spoke, his old face turning red with anger.

"They say that our Cui family is a beast in human form, that we marry a daughter-in-law to work like a slave for the family, and that if she is not satisfied, she will beat her to death. They say that your Third Aunt is delusional! They lie all the time! Well, Cui Quan, tell me, what is the grudge between our family and you? Your Third Aunt is already very old, and she wants to hang herself in the house when she comes back."

Uncle Cui was furious and slapped the table, making a loud noise.

"Can you blame me if your family can't find a wife? Maybe she just looks down on your family and finds an excuse not to marry into your family." Zhou muttered in a low voice in dissatisfaction.
