After leaving the village chief's house, Bieye walked back to Xu Yuan's house. He met many villagers on the road, and he greeted them all as before.

The villagers were very unfamiliar with him.

After Bieye's back was gone, they gathered together to look at his back and sigh.

"I thought that after Bieye separated from the other family, he would have no place to live and his life would be miserable. I didn't expect that he would be so promising and establish himself in the town so quickly."

"If Liu Guihua hadn't been holding him back, I wouldn't have been unwilling to marry my daughter to him. If I had known earlier that he would separate from Liu Guihua, I would have married my daughter to him no matter what."

"I really regret it now."

"I heard that Bieye opened a clay pot rice noodle shop in the town. A small bowl of clay pot rice noodles costs eight cents, and a large bowl of clay pot rice noodles costs ten cents. It's very expensive, but there are still many customers eating there every day. I'm sure

He can earn a lot of money, and if my daughter marries him, she can now enjoy happiness in the town."

After listening to the woman's words, a man joked, "Even if you wanted to marry your daughter to him at that time, he would not like it. Have you never seen what his wife looks like?"

"Men just like good-looking ones. You don't know what your daughter looks like?"

The woman glared at the man.

"What do you know?"

"Although my daughter doesn't look very good, she has a big butt and is easy to give birth to. The people who wanted to marry her were waiting in line from the beginning of the village to the end of the village."

"She got pregnant less than two months after marrying the Zhang family. In the past few years, her belly has become even more impressive. In three years, she gave birth to two big fat boys for the Zhang family."

"Now I'm pregnant again, and I'm going to give birth in a little more than a month. I also liked eating sour foods during my pregnancy this time, which shows that I'm going to give birth to a son again."

"Whoever marries my daughter will be lucky!"

"Although Bieye's daughter-in-law is good-looking, her figure is thin and difficult to give birth to. She has been married to Bieye for more than three months, but there is still no movement in her belly."

The man was speechless.

Indeed, no matter how good-looking you are, it doesn't matter if you can't have children. For men, the biggest role of women is to carry on their family line.

Women who have difficulty in childbearing, no matter how good-looking they are, are only prized by rich families who have no shortage of people to bear children for them.

Men from poor families have to spend a lot of money to marry one daughter-in-law in their lifetime. Very few men can afford to marry a second one after marrying one.

Therefore, when marrying a wife, what matters is no longer appearance, but the woman's fertility.

If they had more money, who wouldn't want to hug each other, one responsible for carrying on their family lineage, and the other responsible for making their home beautiful and pleasing to the eye?

Unfortunately, good looks and good health are not the best of both worlds most of the time.

The man thought that when he was young, he fell in love with a good-looking woman in the village. However, his parents said that the woman was ugly and too thin to have children, so they refused to let him marry into the family and arranged for him to have the ugly wife he has now.

He was reluctant at first.

But after getting married, in less than a year, the ugly wife gave birth to a son for him. The moment she held her son in her arms, any unwillingness was gone.

Although he still didn't like her, she was a great contributor to giving him a son. As long as she could give him a son, he would tolerate it no matter how ugly or bad-tempered she was.

After so many years, the man thinks less and less of the woman he once liked. That woman later married far away. He has not seen her for more than ten years, and even her appearance is vague.

If he was as capable as Bieye, he might be able to marry the woman he likes.

But he didn't have that ability, so he could only face the loess and turn his back to the sky for the rest of his life, digging in the fields to feed his family, let alone asking for anything else.

When Bieye came to Xu's house, only siblings Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Shuanzi were at home.

Xu Shuanzi's eyes lit up when he saw Bieye. He quickly went back to the house to bring him a chair and asked him to sit down. Then he said positively, "Brother Ye, are you here to see your parents?"

"Sit here and wait for me. I'll go to the fields to call my parents back!"

Bieye nodded.

"Thank you for your trip."

Xu Shuanzi chuckled, pulled out a slingshot from his waist and waved it in front of Bieye, "Brother Ye, although you don't let me worship you as my master, in my heart you are my master."

"My slingshot is shooting really well now."

"Although I can't catch larger prey, I can still catch some pheasants and hares. Just give me instructions on what you want me to do. You don't have to be polite to me."

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Xu Yuanyuan brought hot tea to Bieye, and then took the initiative to stir up the conversation and asked, "Farewell, brother, you haven't been back to the village for a long time. I thought you were going to cut off contact with the villagers."

Bieye explained, "I have been too busy with business recently and have no time to go back to the village."

"I originally planned to invite everyone to my house for dinner as soon as we moved to town, but my wife was not in good health and the doctor said she needed to take a good rest, so we postponed it until now."

Xu Yuanyuan felt a sense of sourness in her heart.

Lady?

The call was so affectionate.

"It turned out that I came here to invite people from the village to go to the greenhouse. I thought..."

Bieye asked, "Why?"

Xu Yuanyuan shook her head reluctantly.

"nothing."

"Goodbye, brother, please sit down for a while. I still have some work to finish, so I'll go in first. If you need anything, just call me."

Bieye nodded.

"good."

Xu Yuanyuan turned around and entered the house, but did not do any work. Instead, she hurried back to the boudoir and took out the rouge she had bought in the town from under the pillow.

Open the rouge box to reveal the red powdery paste inside.

Dip a little on it with your fingers, apply it evenly on the left and right cheeks, then find red paper, press your lips on the red paper, and the originally bloodless lips suddenly become bright red.

After stirring around the room for a while, he brought out a plate of fried peas that he was reluctant to take out when entertaining important guests.

"Goodbye, brother, my parents won't be back for a while. You're bored of waiting. Eat some fried peas to fill your stomach. I'll make dinner."

"You can stay and have dinner before leaving."

Sensing that Bieye glanced at his clothes, he turned around in embarrassment and explained, "I accidentally tripped just now, water spilled on my body, and my clothes got dirty, so I changed into a clean one."

Biyeye hummed.

"My wife is going to prepare delicious food tonight, so I won't eat at your house."

Xu Yuanyuan's eyes were slightly red.

At this moment, Xu Shuanzi came back with Xu Yuan and Zhang Cuihua.

As soon as Zhang Cuihua came back, she noticed that her daughter was unusual today, and with a thud in her heart, she quickly stood in front of her daughter and said enthusiastically to Bieye, "Uncle Xu just mentioned you yesterday, and you are here today. Hurry up and sit in the house.

I will cook the food myself today so that you two, uncle and nephew, can have a good time together."

He took out ten cents from his waist and told Xu Shuanzi, "Shuanzi, hurry up and buy a pot of wine. The wine at home is gone. We have to entertain guests later."

Bieye stood up and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm not staying for dinner today. I came here specifically to ask you to come with me to the town to help." Then he explained the specific purpose of his visit.

Zhang Cuihua laughed after hearing this.

"What do I mean? I want you to come back by yourself. For such a small matter, just find someone from a nearby village to go back to the village and send a message."

"Wait for me. I've just finished getting off the ground and I'm very dirty. I'll change my clothes and follow you."

After saying that, he dragged Xu Yuanyuan into the house.

After closing the door, he shook off Xu Yuanyuan's hand and said in a low voice, "You damn girl, why are you so not ashamed?"

"When someone else comes, you put on makeup and new clothes. Are you afraid that others won't be able to tell that you like him?"
