CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: MARRIAGE INTO THE FAMILY (2)

Liu Da Niu’s expression was conflicted and anxious, "I... why should I see him? His family has already written the divorce letter, I have nothing to do with him anymore."

"Wasn’t the divorce letter written by Hu Niangzi? He didn’t write it, right?" Li Yuzhu looked at her and asked.

Liu Da Niu became even more conflicted, twisting her clothing hem with both hands, "So what? Everyone knows I have nothing to do with him anymore."

Li Yuzhu shook her head, "Why tell me? You should tell him. He said he would be with you till death."

Liu Da Niu suddenly looked up at Li Yuzhu, "He... he said that?"

"You don’t believe it? Then go ask him yourself? Oh, I’m not going to be the messenger." Li Yuzhu pulled her out, "You should ask in person."

Liu Da Niu was restless, following Li Yuzhu outside.

On the small road outside the Li Family’s bamboo house, Hu Shuangcheng was pacing back and forth with a large package on his shoulder.

He heard voices at the entrance of the house, immediately looked up, and upon seeing Liu Da Niu come out, he walked forward excitedly, "Da Niu?"

Li Yuzhu pulled Liu Da Niu towards Hu Shuangcheng, "You guys should have a proper conversation. Knock on the door if you need me, I’ll go back inside the house first."

She waved to the two of them and went back.

By this time, twilight had settled.

There was no light at the gate of Li Family’s house, but the moon had risen, illuminating the ground, showing the path.

Liu Da Niu looked at her feet, "What’s the matter?"

"I’ve brought out my luggage, I have nowhere to go, you have to take me in." Hu Shuangcheng said, holding Liu Da Niu’s shoulder and looking at her.

Liu Da Niu was shocked, looking up at him, "You... Why are you doing this?"

"I can’t stay at home, you don’t want to go back, and neither do I." Hu Shuangcheng looked at her, "I’m following you."

Liu Da Niu was momentarily flustered, "I have nowhere to live, I’m currently staying temporarily at the Li family, you come to find me, I... I don’t know what to do."

"Then let’s go back to your home? There’s always a place to stay at home right? If there’s a place for you, there’s a place for me." Hu Shuangcheng said.

Liu Da Niu was even more surprised, "What? You’re going with me to my parents’ house? Seeing you, do you think my parents would let you live?"

"A man has to face the consequences of his actions, I’ll go and apologize." Hu Shuangcheng looked at Liu Da Niu, "As long as you don’t leave me, I’ll go and apologize."

Liu Da Niu’s mind was in chaos due to his persistence.

She opened his hand, "What is this? Your family doesn’t want me, and I have to take you in?" She turned away, her eyes red, wanting to leave, "You go, I have to go back, there’s a lot to do at the Li family, I have to help."

"If you don’t take me, I’ll just keep standing here." Hu Shuangcheng stood his ground and said stubbornly.

"You... why are you like this?" Liu Daniu stamped her foot, "This is someone else’s house, it’s not right to be like this, the Li family will talk about me."

"Da Niu, if you are wronged, then I’ll go and kneel at your family’s door to apologize." Saying this, he turned around and walked away.

His steps were firm.

Liu Da Niu sighed, "Come back!"

Hu Shuangcheng turned around and looked at her, "Da Niu?"

Liu Da Niu sighed heavily, "I’ll go with you." It’s not a long-term solution to stay at the Li family.

Hu Shuangcheng’s eyes lit up, "Great, we’ll go back together."

Liu Da Niu nodded at him, "I’ll go back and say goodbye to the Li family, I’ll be out in a while."

"I’ll wait for you," Hu Shuangcheng said happily.

Liu Da Niu glanced at him, pursed her lips, and went back into the house.

Li Yuzhu was standing by the bamboo screen wall, holding a small lantern to illuminate the road.

She raised the lantern a bit higher, looked at Liu Da Niu, and intentionally asked, "Did you talk for so long? Did things get sorted out? Did Hu Shuangcheng give you a hard time?"

Liu Da Niu walked towards Li Yuzhu, "Miss Li, I have to go back."

Li Yuzhu had already guessed this would be the outcome.

The couple is still not completely broken up.

She deliberately asked, "Going back? Where to? Don’t return to the Hu family, think of your arm."

Liu Da Niu shook her head, embarrassed, and said, "Back to my parents’ house, I’ll go back with Shuangcheng."

Li Yuzhu nodded, "That’s fine, you two are a couple, it’s good to reconcile."

Liu Da Niu let out a sigh, "I’ll go and say goodbye to Uncle Li and Aunt Li, it’s really inconvenient to have disturbed for a few days."

Li Yuzhu laughed, "Don’t say that, you even taught my second sister how to make dry cakes."

Liu Da Niu followed Li Yuzhu to the upper room of the North Courtyard, to bid farewell to Prince Luling and Princess Consort Luling.

The family knew of Liu Da Niu’s situation.

"The original partner is always the best, misunderstandings opened up, life goes on as usual." Princess Consort Luling said, "Whose family doesn’t experience a few hardships?"

As she spoke, her eyes swept over to where Xue Family was standing.

Xue Family pursed her lips and turned her head away.

Princess Consort Luling’s face immediately darkened.

Knowing Liu Da Niu was leaving, and that Hu Shuangcheng was waiting outside the Li family’s house.

The Great Princess ran outside and unceremoniously said to Hu Shuangcheng, "Hu Shuangcheng, if you are a man, stop making your woman cry. If you don’t cherish her, there are plenty of men in the world who will. Got it?"

Hu Shuangcheng was full of remorse, repeatedly saying, "I won’t ever make Da Niu cry again."

He carried Da Niu and his luggage, nodded aggrievedly.

The Great Princess raised her eyebrows, "You said that, I’ll remember your words. Oh, and both heaven and earth will remember too. If you go back on your word, expect to be struck by lightning."

Liu Da Niu came over, "Big sister, he wouldn’t dare."

The Great Princess scowled, "You are speaking on his behalf so quickly? Humph, I won’t bother with you anymore."

She turned and went inside.

Liu Da Niu waved to the departing Li Yuzhu and Second Princess, "We’re going back, contact us if there’s anything."

"Got it, safe journey to you," Li Yuzhu also waved.

The two walked towards Taohua River Village under the moonlight.

"Oh, fighting tooth and nail just a few days ago, now they’re fine?" Second Princess blinked, full of confusion.

Li Yuzhu laughed, "They don’t have deep-seated hatred, isn’t reconciliation good?"

Second Princess blinked, "You made a point." After a moment, she laughed, saying, "If Da Niu is in a good mood, she’ll help me make some cakes, and I’ll be able to earn more money."

Li Yuzhu laughed, "You have to master it, can’t keep asking others."

"But I feel like I haven’t mastered it yet." Second Princess said pitifully, "I still don’t know how to mix the dough."

"Keep practicing and thinking!"

.

That night, Liu Da Niu took Hu Shuangcheng back to her parents’ house.

The family saw Hu Shuangcheng, inevitably scolded him roundly.

Liu the bricklayer picked up a broom and harshly beat Hu Shuangcheng.

Hu Shuangcheng did not resist, and said with his head down, "I really didn’t protect Da Niu at first, it’s right for dad and grandpa to punish."

"Who is your dad, who is your grandpa? Didn’t your family send the divorce letter? Facing us, recognizing what kin?" Liu Laoda scolded.

"The divorce letter was written by my mother, marrying Da Niu was me, not my mother, how can it count if it wasn’t written by me? Not even a lawsuit can win, dad doesn’t have to care." Hu Shuangcheng said.

Hu Daniu also persuaded on the side, "Dad, the divorce letter wasn’t written by him, you can’t fault him."

Liu Laoda stomped his foot.

Lady Liu sighed, pulling her daughter up, "You should get up and talk."

Liu Da Niu refused, still standing alongside Hu Shuangcheng.

Liu Laoda looked at his father Liu the bricklayer, "Dad? What do you think?"

The daughter was too persistent, afraid of problems if pushed.

Liu the bricklayer pinched his beard, thought for a while and said, "Hu Shuangcheng, you’re saying you will live at our house with Da Niu, you don’t intend to go back to the Hu family?"

Hu Shuangcheng nodded seriously, "I won’t go back, I’m willing to join the Liu family."

Having said this, he knelt and kowtowed to Liu the bricklayer and Liu Laoda.

Everyone in the Liu family was shocked.

"Hu Shuangcheng, a man joining the wife’s family is not a small matter, have you seriously thought it through? If you have, I’ll invite the clan elders tonight to register you." Liu the bricklayer said.

Hu Shuangcheng nodded, "I’ve thought it through, Da Niu has no brothers, my father has no sons, I will become their son, as long as I’m not separated from Da Niu."

Lady Liu, worried about her daughter’s reputation, always hoped for their reconciliation.

She looked at Liu Laoda and said, "Da Niu’s father, I think it’s feasible."

Liu the bricklayer also worried about his eldest son having no heirs, having a son-in-law who comes in is naturally good.
