Chapter 81: Going Home
Ding Hu felt increasingly wronged. Before marriage, the work in the fields was done by his parents, and he didn’t have to worry about anything. When he was with Sun Chan, she was also a skilled worker and would help him from time to time.
And now? Every day he works like a donkey at the Liu Family’s and has to endure their scolding. What kind of life is this? If he had married Sun Chan back then, would he be this miserable? It’s hateful how Sun Chan is also so cold-blooded and heartless now. She’s found someone better and forgotten me, such a fickle woman!
Here he resents Sun Chan and also Liu Mei, and the thought of going to the city starts to take shape in his mind. Let me go make big money in the city! Far away from all of you!
Sun Chan naturally had no idea nor did she care. She got up in the morning for a wash, helped Liu Yunlan feed the pigs, and was sweeping the yard when Gu Junming came over. He was looking spirited, smiling as he walked in.
Sun Chan laughed and said, "Is the kang in the village chief’s house warm?"
Gu Junming smiled silently and, taking advantage of Liu Yunlan not paying attention, whispered, "The village chief’s wife wants her nephew from her mother’s side to join the army. He’s already twenty-four, way over the age limit, so I didn’t agree, and she got mad. She chased me out without breakfast."
Sun Chan couldn’t help but laugh, "The village chief must not know about this, or he’d definitely hit that wasteful wife of his. He still wants to win you over. Yet, she won’t even let you have a meal."
"Even if she did, I wouldn’t help her for personal gain. Besides, their food doesn’t look good at all."
The two of them joked quietly for a while, then Liu Yunlan came out. Both proposed to leave.
Liu Yunlan hurriedly held them back, "Have breakfast before you go, it won’t take long."
Gu Junming smiled, "We should have gone back yesterday, but somehow got delayed. If we don’t go home for breakfast, my parents will be unhappy. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
