Chapter 41 - 040 The Destiny That’s Meant to Be
——————
The mess at the Zhang Family was hastily concluded with the interference of the Old Village Chief.
Zhang Shan Ni hadn’t expected that this morning, Zhang Dongliang had actually managed to obtain the marriage certificate before her and Xie Jingchen.
While her family’s house was being smashed, she and her freshly minted husband were hunting in the mountains. Of course, even if she had known at the time, she wouldn’t be idiotic enough to meddle in her unscrupulous biological parents’ mess.
Ever since Zhang Shan Ni learned there was a sewing machine in the mother-in-law’s room, she had been making clothes there.
In the following days, the Xie Family really did get busy. Close kin from the same branch all came over; men borrowed tables, stools, bowls, and chopsticks from each house, while women cleaned and washed the borrowed items, and also planned for vegetables to be picked the day after tomorrow and the meat and ingredients to be purchased, and so on.
That evening, relatives who stayed to help were even more sincere in their smiles when they saw the Xie Family bringing out a fatty rabbit and a plump hedgehog for dinner.
Zhang Shan Ni occasionally caught glances of her annoyed mother-in-law and her own little heart trembled. As for why the mother-in-law was annoyed, she roughly figured out the reason after combining the memories of the original body—
In the countryside, red or white events are usually assisted by the family’s brothers and sisters-in-law, and kin from the same branch.
However, at Xie Tiesheng’s house, even though they had married three wives, only the eldest wife was at home now, and she looked so troubled that it seemed as if her maternal family’s impending funeral was written all over her face, inadvertently causing dissatisfaction among all the elder aunts and elder sisters-in-law who came to help.
