Chapter 1: The Incident Occurred Suddenly

  Xiao Yatou thought of her miserable life in the future and cried even harder, hugging Huang Xiangyun. She got him covered in tears and snot.

  Huang Xiangyun heard that it was only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan and smiled, saying: "Silly girl, 200,000 to 300,000 yuan is still affordable for me. Don't cry, we'll return the money to him soon. If they dare to be arrogant, I'll beat those two bastards to death!"

  Zhang Danru was overjoyed and raised her head: "Really?"

  Huang Xiangyun wiped away her tears and smiled: "Of course it's true! When has brother ever lied to you?"

  Zhang Danru was overjoyed and burst into tears again, hugging his neck and burying her small face in his arms, just like when she was a child. She sobbed excitedly and said: "Fifth brother, you're so great! From now on, I'll be your wife, cooking and washing clothes for you for the rest of my life, and having children with you! I'm so happy, waaahhh..."

  Huang Xiangyun didn't take her words seriously and didn't have that idea. He smiled and patted her head, helplessly saying: "I'm telling you, Ruirui, can you not use my clothes as a handkerchief to wipe your tears and snot?"

  Zhang Danru immediately burst out laughing, using her small head to nuzzle and rub against him, tightly hugging him and saying: "I won't, I just want to use you as a handkerchief... Hehe... Wuhu..."

  The little girl cried and laughed and made a fuss, crazy and silly, just like a little mental patient!

  Huang Xiangyun also stopped running, leading Zhang Danru to pull a sled with a manure bucket back home. The sky was already very bright, and the dawn was faintly visible. The chimney of their home had already started smoking, and Li Lan Zhi and Lin Xiao Yu had gotten up to make breakfast.

  When Huang Xiangyun led Zhang Danru into the room, Li Lanqi and Lin Xiaoyu were taken aback for a moment. Zhang Danru's voice was sweet: "Auntie Li, Auntie Lin, are you cooking?"

  Li Lanzhi and Lin Xiaoyu exchanged a smile, both nodding in agreement. Let her hurry into the house to sit down.

  Huang Xiangyun and Zhang Danrui entered the inner room, the bedding on the kang had already been folded up and put away in the kang cabinet. Huang Jiaojiao and Huang Rourou were still sleeping lazily in their quilted bed.

  Huang Xiangyun asked Zhang Danru to sit by the stove, but Xiao Yatou took off her gloves and hat and went to the outer room to help with cooking, chatting with Li Lanxi and Lin Xiaoyu.

  Huang Xiangyun warmed his hands in the quilt, saw that the door was tightly closed, and then put his hands into the quilt to touch her soft body.

  。。。

  Huang Xiangyun neatly stacked the bedding, wiped the kang with a fiberboard, then went out to exercise for a while, did some stretching, and only returned home to wash up with Jiao Jiao, laughing and chatting softly.

  The meal is ready and very sumptuous. Before eating, Li Lan Zhi and Lin Xiao Yu went to Zhang's house to invite Zhang Dan Rui's mother Zhao Qing Fen, elder sister Zhang Dan Qiong, and second sister Zhang Dan Xiang to come together for dinner.

  Zhao Qingfen is now very thin, her originally pretty face now looks a bit scary. Her big eyes with long eyelashes also lack spirit.

  Zhang Danqiong has also lost some weight, but she still looks so beautiful. The women in the Zhang family are all very beautiful, none of them are ugly, this is inherited from Zhao Qingfen.

  Her personality is introverted, and since her divorce, she has become even less talkative. She also doesn't like to smile, and her melancholy appearance makes her look pitiful.

  Zhang Danxiang is very cute, and her beauty is completely different from that of her mother and sisters. She looks like a doll, with a naive personality like a child's. She appears to be only 15 or 16 years old, but in fact she is already 18 years old... A sudden fright in childhood has kept her intelligence at the level of a young child.

  However, don't look at Zhang Danxiang as a fool, but her hands are very clever. The flowers she embroidered and the small toys she made can only be compared to Li Lanqi's master in these five villages!

  Huang Xiangyun and Jiaorou greeted them, then started setting the table with bowls, chopsticks, and stools. Before long, nine people were seated around the large round folding dining table.

  Huang Xiangyun poured fruit juice drinks for the girls, and he opened a bottle of Jinsha beer for himself.

  Everyone didn't say any polite words and started eating right away. Afraid that the Zhang family would be polite, the Huang family kept serving them dishes and pouring drinks non-stop.

  The two families have been friends for a long time. Although they haven't been in touch for a while, sitting together eating and chatting is still very harmonious.

  Lan Zhi said to Qing Fen, "Sister, I've been busy with illness and following Xiao Wu around, so I haven't had a chance to visit your home. The other day, I went to your house with Xiao Yu, but the door was locked... Xiao Wu just told us about Rui Rui's situation. Don't worry, we'll help you pay off the debt, we won't let the Wang family harm our Rui Rui... Rui Rui is such a good girl, I have to keep her for Xiao Wu as his wife! Right, Rui Rui? Hehe."

  Zhang Danru was very shy, but still nodded and said: "I am willing to be the daughter-in-law of Fifth Brother, take good care of Li Yiniang and Fifth Brother, and be a good big sister."

  "Damn it, Nini, you're taking advantage of us!"

  "You're so shameless, little girl! You think you can be a big sister-in-law already!"

  "I love being the older sister-in-law, always a little older than you two! It's killing you two little brats."

  The three little girls' frolics amused everyone. Even Zhang Danqiu revealed a hint of a smile. Zhang Danxiang had been smiling innocently all along, her small mouth and hands busy with eating.

  Huang Xiangyun took a sip of beer and gave Zhang Danxiang a chicken wing, asking Zhao Qingfen: "Auntie, how much foreign debt is left in your family?"

  Zhao Qingfen was taken aback, and said with anxiety: "Now Wang Erjia still owes 26,000, Li Guiyou's family owes 8,000, Li Guiyi's family owes 6,000, Huang Ming's family owes 8,000, Sheng Erjia owes 5,000, plus some miscellaneous accounts, totaling more than 50,000 yuan in famine relief."

  As soon as they heard that her family had so many foreign debts, the Huang family secretly cursed. The Zhang family, except for Zhang Danxiang, were all worried.
