Grandma Gu had three sons and one daughter. All of them had gone to school, but the eldest and fourth children refused to go to school after they learned how to read.
Boss liked to farm. He would be even happier on the day of his wedding if he saw a good harvest.
The fourth child was apprenticed to the village carpenter, master yang, when he was ten years old. He had been doing carpentry all this time. Now the fourth child was eighteen, and he would be nineteen after the new year. He had finished his apprenticeship two years ago.
It was just that he had always been working with master yang and had never thought of working alone.
“Fourth uncle, grandma asked us to tell you to invite Grandpa yang and his family over for dinner.” There was only fourth uncle Gu in the Yang family’s courtyard. The sisters came forward and Gu Xin said.
“Yes, I know.” Fourth uncle Gu stopped what he was doing and smiled at his two nieces.
“Eh? Weren’t they the two second daughters of the Gu family? Come and find your fourth uncle! Tsk, tsk, your uncle said last time that there are two girls in the house. How are we going to split up in the future?” At this moment, a girl dressed in coarse cloth came out of the house. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she looked very neat.
This was Master Yang’s only daughter, yang xiaohuan. She was twenty years old this year, but she was still a Virgin. She had been proposing marriage since she was fifteen years old, but she had yet to get married.
It was not said that every time the marriage was arranged, something would happen to the man. If he didn’t break his legs, he would hit his head, and he would have to lie in bed for ten days to half a month.
This was not a big deal at first, but after Yang xiaohuan’s first marriage proposal partner fell into the river and drowned after getting drunk, all the other marriage proposals that came after her would put the blame on her whenever something happened.
After breaking off the engagement, she would not encounter such an unlucky thing again.
In the past five years, they had proposed a total of six times, but none of them had succeeded.
It was said that she had a tough life. When she was born, she killed her mother. When she was three years old, she killed her brother. Now that she was at the age of marriage, it was time for her to kill men. Therefore, no one was willing to marry her.
When the matchmaker mentioned her, the man who was more polite would use an excuse to reject her. If he wasn’t polite, he would chase her away.
As for why master yang had been fine all this time and wasn’t jinxed by her, that wasn’t the case. Master yang wouldn’t be jinxed by her, but if you were involved with master yang, then you would suffer.
For example, when yang xiaohuan was four years old, the Yang family had even arranged for master yang to marry a second wife, but she was not pregnant yet. One day, when she was doing housework at home, she was bitten by a poisonous snake and died.
As a result, those who did not believe in the rumors also believed in the rumors now. Even though master yang had prepared a generous dowry for yang xiaohuan, those families with sons did not dare to approach her. Their sons ‘lives were still more important than the dowry.
“Aunt xiaohuan, we’re Xinxin and sisi, not Erya!” Gu Xin corrected yang xiaohuan.
“Alright, Xinxin and sisi. What are you guys doing here?” Yang xiaohuan chuckled as he passed the glass of water to fourth uncle Gu. Then, he led the two young ladies into the central room.
“Aunt Xiao Huan, sisi and I came to pass on a message to fourth uncle. I made some delicious food at home, but Grandpa and Grandma can’t leave. My parents went to the county, so I asked fourth uncle to invite Grandpa yang and aunt Xiao Huan to my house for dinner tonight!” Gu Xin explained.
“Ya! That’s good! A few days ago, I ate the second branch’s eldest daughter, Oh, no, I ate your sister’s sausage. I want to eat it again! Here, these are the candies I bought from town yesterday. Take them!” Yang xiaohuan went into her room with her men, and each of them grabbed a handful of candy and put it in their pockets.
