131 Give Her a Home
Zhao Pengfei insisted on marrying Wang Mingyue. Their argument was fruitless, and he did not change his mind even after being beaten up. He even said, “The mistakes Mingyue’s brothers and the others made have nothing to do with Mingyue. She’s all by herself now. I want to marry her and give her a family!”
Village Chief Zhao and Auntie Yang were so angry that their blood pressure almost soared into the universe.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yuan were also a little disappointed in their younger brother. They had been through so much, but their younger brother was still so muddle-headed and was easily bewitched by a woman.
Had he ever thought about how he would face the other villagers in the future if he did this, and how his father would be unable to raise his head in front of Madam?
Even if Zhao Pengfei didn’t marry Zhao Lanzhi, he could marry any woman in their village, or marry any girl in Lintian village other than Wang Mingyue. However, he had to be so stubborn.
If one thought hard, Wang Mingyue marrying over would be a chance for her to take revenge. Not only would she harm their family, she would also harm their entire village.
How could Zhao Pengfei let Madam and Master down after they had taken care of them all the way?
When Village Chief Zhao told him to get lost, Zhao Pengfei scramed to the door of the courtyard and knelt down. He was determined to force Village Chief Zhao and Auntie Yang to agree to this marriage.
Bai Wutong and the others did not go to watch the commotion, but the people from Zhao farmyard were different. They had long surrounded Village Chief Zhao’s house.
When Zhao Lanzhi’s parents learned that Zhao Pengfei had fallen in love with someone else and even hooked up with Wang Mingyue from the neighboring village, they placed their hands on their hips and reprimanded Zhao Pengfei so badly.
“Zhao Pengfei, how is our Lanzhi not worthy of you? How can you humiliate her like this! I’ll risk my life today to seek an explanation for our Lanzhi! If you can’t give me an explanation, we’ll go to the vixen and ask for an explanation. Does she have any shame? I’ll even send her to the authorities!”
Everyone in the village knew that Zhao Lanzhi was definitely going to become the third daughter-in-law of Village Chief Zhao. In the end, he had done this to them. How could Lanzhi marry in the future?!
Zhao Pengfei frowned and looked at Zhao Lanzhi’s father. “Uncle, you can scold me, but you can’t scold Mingyue. She’s a good girl! Also, I’ve never been engaged to Miss Zhao. I’ve always treated her as my biological sister!”
The parents’ agreement were like the matchmaker’s words.
Auntie Yang had long wanted Zhao Lanzhi to be her daughter-in-law. But because the bandits had come after them and then they were fleeing, she had no way to officially propose marriage.
However, the two families had already made a verbal agreement. Zhao Pengfei’s words were really too much.
Zhao Lanzhi had just arrived when she heard Zhao Pengfei say these words that made her heart ache. Tears flowed down her face.
How could Zhao Lanzhi’s father tolerate Zhao Pengfei saying such heartless words? He pointed at Auntie Yang and Village Chief Zhao and scolded, “F*ck you, you son of a b*tch! I didn’t expect your family to be so shameless. What you said was bullsh*t! I was unlucky to have met you, you son of a b*tch. You are just eyeing the pot when you have the bowl. Let me tell you, even if you want to marry my daughter, I won’t let you. A promiscuous hooligan like you deserves to be single for the rest of your life! Pfft!”
Auntie Yang and Village Chief Zhao knew that they were in the wrong, so they could only let Zhao Lanzhi’s parents vent their anger.
Zhao Pengfei felt very upset when he saw his parents being scolded together with him. Thinking of Wang Mingyue’s soft and tender words of ‘I’ll be waiting’, he mustered his courage and stood up to take responsibility. “Auntie, Uncle, this matter has nothing to do with my parents. It’s me who don’t want to marry Lanzhi. If you want to hit me, hit me!”
Zhao Lanzhi looked at his determined expression and couldn’t help but cover her face and run.
Zhao Lanzhi’s mother was afraid that something would happen to her daughter, so she quickly chased after her.
Zhao Lanzhi’s father was so angry that he punched Zhao Pengfei in the face. “You piece of trash! I’ve been wrong about you all these years!”
Zhao Lanzhi’s father used all his strength and punched Zhao Pengfei to the ground, turning him into a one-eyed panda.
He glared at Village Chief Zhao, who wanted to say something, but did not know what to say. He waved his hand hatefully and chased after the mother and daughter.
After watching enough, the villagers quietly went home.
Zhao Pengfei was still kneeling in the snow. Village Chief Zhao looked at him resentfully and said to the entire family, “From now on, I don’t have this son. If he wants to marry, let him marry. He can forget about returning to this family!”
Zhao Pengfei had yet to settle down in Ling Kingdom, and his original household register was still in his father’s hands. If he wanted to marry, his father had to agree. Facing the cold eyes of his family that did not understand, he knelt in the snow and begged, “Father! Please let Mingyue and I be together!”
Village Chief Zhao was about to explode from anger. Without turning his head, he said, “Everyone else, get in here!”
Auntie Yang was too disappointed in Zhao Pengfei. She had been strong her entire life and had never lost so much face.
Besides, what was wrong with choosing the wives for her three sons?
She was really heartbroken and went straight into the house.
Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yuan looked at each other and felt that their third brother had to be taught a deep lesson. They also called their wives and children into the house.
After Bai Wutong prepared a sumptuous tofu banquet and Qingfeng placed it on the table, she began to make snacks—meat floss rice balls.
She had prepared the meat floss previously and had been hiding it to prevent Chu Tianbao from eating it.
She took out the tea egg in the pot. After peeling off the shell, she cut it in half and placed it aside.
Then she stir-fried another soft potato shreds and put it aside.
Then, she scooped some of the steamed black rice and glutinous rice into the basin and stirred it with a spoon until it was not hot. She added some soy sauce and salt and stirred it again.
Next, Bai Wutong placed a thin layer of cloth on the chopping board. She scooped some of the stirred black rice onto the cloth and spread it out. HShee added meat floss and spread it out. She poured in potato shreds and spread them out. Then, she put in half an egg. She picked up the cloth and wrapped the black rice into a ball. She clenched it tightly and the tight and cute meat floss ball formed.
Bai Wutong made a few rice balls. Since everyone was here, she brought the meat floss rice balls to the table.
She also made a special rice ball for Stinky using quail eggs. The size of the rice ball was just right for him to hold.
As soon as it was served, Chu Tianbao couldn’t wait to try it. When Bai Wutong nodded, he picked up a rice ball and took a bite. The flavors of the rich ingredients in the meat floss rice ball were immediately released.
Chu Tianbao was shocked. “Wife, it’s so delicious!”
Chu Tianbao hurriedly took another bite and looked like he was enjoying himself completely. Meanwhile, Stinky, who was being neglected, knocked on the table unhappily.
Chu Tianbao smiled at him and hurriedly stuffed the small rice ball into his hand. He also helped Stinky roll up his cuffs.
Cui Lingyi picked one up and took a bite. She was conquered by the wonderful texture of the rice ball, especially the meat floss inside. She liked it too much.
Just as Cui Lingyi was about to ask what ingredient it was and why she had never seen it before, Xiaobai howled outside the courtyard. Immediately after, Auntie Yang’s hoarse voice came from outside the courtyard. “Is Madam here?”
