She couldn't stand Chen Yan's burly figure and aggrieved expression, so she wisely prepared to slip away: "The marriage has been arranged. I would like to wish you a happy wedding, a long-lasting marriage, and many children. Be careful on your way, I'll leave first."

She felt that “be careful on the road” was redundant after she said it.

Chen Yan handed her a red envelope. The matchmaker praised the boy for his ability to do things. After taking it, she left with a smile on her face.

Cui Yunzhu's unbandaged hand was suddenly lifted up by a gentle force. Her heart was pounding. She thought Chen Yan was going to make some promises to her, but suddenly a purse was placed in her palm.

She blinked.

"The ten taels of silver for the betrothal gift were all saved by me. Now I have eight taels left, and you can take them all. Before the family splits up, I will hand over part of the money I earned, and you can keep the rest for yourself. In the future, all the money of our little family will be given to you. I will take you to the town first and then go home. We will find a doctor to treat you first, no matter how much it costs! I will also buy you some new clothes, and we will go shopping for whatever you like." Chen Yan held her hand. The man's voice was particularly tough and his tone was not gentle.

But Cui Yunzhu felt warm in her heart when she listened to it, and she started crying while laughing.

This man is always so good to her and thinks about her all the time.

"Don't cry, my mother also gave me two taels of silver according to the betrothal gift from my eldest sister-in-law. It's not that she doesn't value you. But I didn't take it. I asked my mother to use the two taels of silver to buy us a new quilt. The quilt is very soft and you will definitely feel comfortable under it."

When Chen Yan saw Cui Yunzhu crying, he thought of his sister-in-law who was also making a fuss at home. He thought that she was also sad about the betrothal gift and felt that her family did not value her and did not pay a penny for the betrothal gift. He hurriedly pulled her aside to explain.

"I don't feel wronged. I'm just happy. No one has ever been so nice to me." Cui Yunzhu held his hand tightly with her backhand.

Chen Yan finally felt relieved, "I will always treat you well. It is only natural for me to treat my daughter-in-law well..."

"Hahaha, you are shy."

Cui Yunzhu couldn't help but want to tease him when she saw him hesitating.

Chen Yan squatted down, without answering, and shouted: "I'll carry you. You're not feeling well, and it's still a long way to town."

"I can walk. You'll be exhausted if you carry me this far."

"It's not far. We'll see a bullock cart heading to town a little further ahead. It's three cents per person. We can just take that."

Chen Yan insisted that she come up.

Cui Yunzhu no longer refused. She was so happy that someone was doting on her. At worst, she could just come down and walk by herself when she saw that he was tired. She put her arms around Chen Yan's neck.

After seeing that she was holding her firmly, Chen Yan set off without saying a word on the way.

Cui Yunzhu knew that he was a sullen man with a strong body and a scholar's face. If he was born in a wealthy family, he would be wooed by many young ladies. But in fact, he was a down-to-earth rough man. He didn't have many sweet words, but he would always speak with his actions.

Cui Yunzhu noticed his red and hot ears and smiled silently.

So cute.

Along the way, she rubbed Chen Yan's ears with her arm intentionally or unintentionally, and each time she could feel his body trembling slightly, and she had a lot of fun.

Chen Yan suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Are you tired? Put me down." Cui Yunzhu loosened her hands around his neck and prepared to get down, but Chen Yan's strong arms held her legs tightly, and she could not move.

"I can carry you, just don't move, wife." Chen Yan's voice was a little breathless, and his tone was full of helplessness.

It seems that I am too heavy. Cui Yunzhu is a little embarrassed. "I will definitely not move. If you really can't do it, please put me down."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan walked forward quickly. Cui Yunzhu had to hold his neck tightly and stick close to him for fear of being thrown out.

After walking for a while, we finally saw an old man driving a ox cart coming out of another village. There was a woman and a child on the cart.

The old man saw the two of them stop and asked if they wanted to take a ride, "It's three copper coins per person, do you want to take a ride?"

"Are you going to town, old man?" Cui Yunzhu asked.

"It's going to town. If you want to go, just come up!"

Chen Yan grinned when he heard the words "young couple" and called Cui Yunzhu to ask her to pay: "Wife!"

Cui Yunzhu understood and picked up the purse to take the money.

The woman in the car was blocked by the hay on the car. She didn't see Cui Yunzhu taking out money. She looked at them with disdain, "You look so poor. If you don't have money, don't take the car. You are blocking my way here and wasting my time. I still need to go to town to buy things! Can you afford it in town? You might as well get out of the way."

Cui Yunzhu pulled Chen Yan back as he was about to step forward, handed the money to the old man driving the car, and helped Chen Yan get on the car before she hit back: "It was only a few words, and the old man didn't say anything. I was riding in your car and spending your money. You are so lenient and you are not afraid of hurting your waist. Auntie, you should stay out less with such a stinky mouth. Fortunately, I am a reasonable person, otherwise you might not even rinse your mouth when you go back."

"How dare you scold me! And call me auntie!" The woman was angry and confused, "But why did you tell me not to rinse my mouth?"

Cui Yunzhu originally thought she had met a shrew, but unexpectedly she had met a fool. Well, she found a seat and sat down, not bothering to pay attention to her.

At this moment, the kid in the corner suddenly laughed out loud. He pointed at Chen Yan who had just gotten on the bus and said, "Because if you meet someone like that, they will beat you up, but you won't have to rinse your mouth, right? Hahaha, so stupid."

"Don't talk too much, kid." The old man driving the cart turned around and scolded his grandson.

The child quickly sat down obediently, looking around in the car and no longer smiling.

After Chen Yan got in the car, he came and sat down next to Cui Yunzhu. He grabbed a handful of hay and put it behind her waist. He looked at her and made sure she was sitting on the hay before he felt relieved.

The woman next to her saw it and couldn't help but uttered a "tsk".

The child raised his chubby little hand and waved it in front of Chen Yan's eyes, signaling him to look over. The child whispered, "You beat her until her teeth are all over the floor. I want to see what she looks like without teeth."

Cui Yunzhu burst out laughing. This little brat is actually a warmonger who takes sides.

"Daqing! If you keep making trouble, go home!" the old man shouted.

The child pointed to his mouth and spread out his hands dejectedly, meaning that he could not talk to them anymore.

Chen Yan glanced at the woman in the car warningly, leaned over and rubbed Daqing's hair with his hands until his hair was messy before letting go.
