Chapter 49 The Yang family's broken engagement leads to the Wang family smashing their windows.
Chen Erlai's house is located at the edge of the middle row in the east of the village. It consists of only two large rooms: one is a kitchen for cooking and the other is a large heated kang bed for sleeping and eating.
The houses were made of mud bricks and thatched roofs. During the summer, when there were heavy rains, torrential rains, and light drizzles, basins were placed on the heated brick bed and the ground inside to catch the rainwater.
He is over fifty years old. His parents passed away many years ago, and his siblings have all married and moved to other places. Basically, after his parents passed away, he has no contact with any of his siblings.
He's too lazy and still can't find a wife. He also has a bad habit of always being idle. When there are women chatting together, he'll happily join the older women and gossip.
That's how it is in the supply and marketing cooperative in this village; is it just their nature?
Despite her initial strong opposition, Liu's mother gradually succumbed to the one-eyed man's advances, simply because Liu Yue's belly was getting bigger and bigger.
It looks like a twin pregnancy, but the father of the babies in the womb can't be found.
"Third Aunt, I have a way to help Liu Yue's baby find its biological father."
"Really, Yu Han?"
“Dazhi, it doesn’t matter much who the child’s biological father is. That woman is about to marry Chen Erlai from the east end of the village,” Yang Zhanxi said.
"Besides, we just called off Wang Chunmei's engagement last night through matchmaker Wang Qing, and I didn't offer her family any compensation. Maybe..."
Yang Zhannan said solemnly, "The Wang family has come demanding an explanation. Even if the girl is the mother of two children and was the ex-wife of that handsome man from the Liu family, the Wang family won't let this go easily. It will damage the Wang family's reputation! Everyone should be careful!"
As he finished speaking, several hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the main gate, heading straight for the west wing.
"Oh no! Speak of the devil and he appears! He's here to smash up the house!"
"Hurry up! All men of the Yang family, grab your weapons and get out there! Drive the Wang family away!" Yang Zhanxi shouted.
Yang Zhannan, Yang Zhanxi, Yang Chong, Yang Zhi, and others, each carrying different makeshift household weapons—large shovels, long wooden sticks, hoes, and pickaxes—ran off. The bolder women, unarmed, followed behind.
The two elderly people in the east wing were still unaware of what had happened and were resting in their room.
In their previous life, the Yang family was rejected in this way. The Wang family, the bride's side, first smashed the windows of Yang Zhanxi's west wing, then crushed the windows of each wing one by one, until every window was completely destroyed, leaving only a few intact wooden window frames broken by several large iron shovels.
The same season and the same time, both in past and future lives, it's this season just before winter, and the cause is the same person, Yang Zhi.
On the night the Wang family smashed the windows of the Yang family compound in its previous life, a northwest wind was blowing and snowflakes were falling from the sky. The whole family was shivering from the cold.
At this moment, they came to vandalize the house again. Yang Yuhan stood in front of the window of the south wing. Her mother, Liu Shulan, told her to go back inside quickly, fearing that she might be accidentally injured.
Yang Yuhan smiled at her mother, then looked at her mother standing outside the window with a worried expression, like a brave female warrior protecting the window of the south wing with her life!
"Pfft!" Yu Han looked at Liu Shulan and laughed!
"You can still laugh at a time like this?"
Yang Yuhan didn't speak, but continued to watch what terrible scene was about to happen in front of the window of the west wing!
Four men and two women from the Wang family broke in, each carrying a large iron shovel, just like in their previous life.
The four men and two women are Wang Chunmei's siblings. She is the youngest and oldest daughter in the family, so naturally the eldest siblings in the family will not let her suffer any loss or be bullied.
When the Wang family members, each holding a large iron shovel, were about a centimeter away from the windows of the west wing, they each took a window and began to mercilessly raise their arms and swing them to pound on the windowpanes.
When Yang Yuhan saw that the shovel blade collided with the glass at a distance of one millimeter, she slightly opened her lips and gently blew a breath towards that one millimeter distance.
The six large iron shovel blades were stuck at that one millimeter mark, completely immobile, no matter how hard the men tried with their arms!
It's like being nailed to thin air by a giant iron nail!
The six members of the Wang family remained frozen in place for about half an hour, as if they had been acupunctured.
As dusk fell, large snowflakes began to fall, so much so that anyone standing in the courtyard in the twilight was soon covered in pure white snow.
The entire courtyard turned white!
The Yang family was quite surprised by the group's actions, but they didn't suspect anything about Yang Yuhan standing in the courtyard. After that, they ignored her and went back inside to do what they needed to do! The Wang family deserved to suffer!
Seeing that their faces were red from the cold, Yang Yuhan guessed that their bodies were about to give out, so she decided to loosen their stiff bodies. At this moment, Yang Zhi took a long wooden stick and tried to poke their stiff bodies, but they still didn't move.
"Emma! Is she dead?!"
"They won't die. If they do, we'll be in big trouble. Hurry up and go inside. They can't die. They'll wake up and go back soon."
"Why don't you go inside? If I go inside, how will they be alright? If they're alright, they'll start smashing our windows again. It's better to let them stay like this all night."
"I was worried you'd get cold if you came inside. Come on, let's both go inside."
Yang Yuting first feinted, getting him into the house. She then turned and came out again. At this point, there were no Yang family members left in the courtyard, only a few Wang family members. She blew on the door, and the six people were untied. Then she smashed the window glass, but Yang Yuhan immobilized them again. After several such incidents, the Wang family compound finally couldn't take any more of the commotion. It was just too damn cold.
Finally, he left cursing and swearing, "Damn it, what's gotten into me tonight?"
In fact, the Yang family men did not lie down after entering the house; they simply stayed warm inside and watched the Wang family's six members through the window.
After the six men left, Yang Zhannan came out to clean up the battlefield, closed and locked the wooden gate, then reassured everyone and they went to sleep.
Liu Family
Liu Yue was determined to die rather than marry Chen Erlai. At this time, Zou Laqian appeared at Liu's house to introduce potential partners. Of course, no matter who she married, the one-eyed man and her own mother were both happy, as it was better than having an illegitimate child born in her mother's family!
Unexpectedly, Zou Laqian was going to introduce Liu Yue to Yang Zhi, the future carpenter from the Yang family! In the end, her parents gave in.
Zou Laxian was sent by the Yang family. Diao Yan heard from Yu Han that Liu Yue's child was definitely Yang Zhi's. She could use a high-tech method they didn't know or understand to detect who the father of a child in a woman's womb was.
Diao Yan could accept Liu Yue. But the child in her womb must be Yang Zhi's. Her decision was made two days after the servants in the Yang family compound had painstakingly persuaded her.
Thus, Zou Laqian restarted the marriage, engagement, and betrothal gifts between the Yang and Liu families.
The marriage between the two families was temporarily settled, but a few days later, Yang Zhannan and Yang Zhi from the Yang family encountered a major accident while working as carpenters.
