Yang Yongqing had no choice but to leave the east room with embarrassment.

>

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw Mrs. Liu from the west house opposite yawn and come out of the house, still carrying a chamber pot in her hand.

Yang Yongqing quickly shielded his side, but was stopped by Liu Shi.

"Well, well, isn't this the groom? Shouldn't you be with your bride inside instead of out here in the backyard?" Liu asked with a chuckle.

>

Yang Yongqing could only stand there and say to Liu, "This morning, Jin Gui's family came over, and I haven't found anyone to help with cooking yet. All the aunts and sisters-in-law have disappeared."

Lius was startled, then smiled.

She strode toward Yang Yongqing, freeing one hand to pat her chest and said, "Hey, are you blind? Isn't there still Fourth Aunt here?"

Without brushing his teeth or washing his face, his mouth reeked of a pungent odor that made Yang Yongqing's stomach churn.

This is simply more unbearable than the bucket of urine she's carrying in her hand.

Yang Yongqing covered his nose and took a few steps back, "Fourth Aunt, you, can you do this?"

Liu smiled and rolled her eyes at Yang Yongqing, "What kind of question is that? Of course I know how to cook!"

This is a simple example. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“I had Ju help me wash and chop the vegetables, and San'er helped me put in the firewood. Don’t even talk about a table full of people’s meals, even if there were a few more tables I could manage!”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Yongqing continued, “But back in the old Yang family, during banquets or whatnot, they wouldn't let you touch a wok. They'd say you’re terrible at cooking, your dishes are unappetizing, and the taste is dreadful.”

Liu once again rolled her eyes. "How could someone as shrewd as Yu Jinguai fall for a fool like you? Can't you even speak properly?"

“Even if my cooking isn't delicious, He'er grew up eating what I cooked.” said Liu shi.

"Don't forget, Jin Gui's in-laws are He Er's family today! My daughter is married into them! I'm going to cook, isn't that natural?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yongqing agreed. After all, Jin Gui's sister-in-law was none other than He Er's cousin! Indeed, a perfect match!

"Auntie Four, then that's settled. You come help me cook later when you're done. I'm going back to the front room first, Jin Gui is almost up, let me make her a bowl of rice noodle soup."

After saying that, Yang Yongqing turned around and ran away.

"Oh my, this silly fellow, he really knows how to treat his wife well!" Liu looked at Yang Yongqing's disappearing figure and muttered.

It's a second-hand item, it's been used by someone else. How could life be so good?

With a complaint about the injustice of fate, Liu went to the outhouse outside the back yard to urinate.

Liú returned to the house after emptying the chamber pot and saw Júc also had already gotten up, combing her hair there.

The strands of hair beside her temples were being braided into tiny cornrows. She would braid a few sections then stop to tie them off with a red ribbon before continuing.

The corners of her mouth twitched upwards slightly, and she was still humming a little tune, intermittently, looking very happy.

"Hey, this little brat is primping again? What's the point of messing around with her hair every day, changing it up like that!" Liu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, cracked them open while standing aside watching, and teased.

Ju'er raised her eyebrow, "At this age, if you don't play around, are you waiting until your mother reaches this age and becomes a withered old woman before you start? Even if you do, no one will look!"

“Hmph, when I was your age, I was more handsome than you. Otherwise, your father wouldn't have married me!” Mrs. Liu said angrily.

“When you get to my age, you might not even be as good-looking as me!” Liu shi said proudly.

>

Ju'er rolled her eyes, "Too lazy to talk to you."

Liu then nudged Ju with her elbow and said, "After you finish combing your hair, come to the front yard with me. We'll help them cook lunch today. Your sister and brother-in-law are coming over to eat at your little cousin's place this afternoon. Did you hear that?"

Upon hearing this, Juju turned her head and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? I made an appointment with Chen Biao yesterday. I'm about to go out now, Mother. You go and start the fire yourself, and ask San Ya to help you put in the firewood!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu got angry and flung a few melon seeds in her hand onto the ground. “You haven’t even gotten married yet, and you're already eager to go out and have fun? You're not going anywhere! Stay here and help me cook!”

"Mother, how can you be like this? I made an appointment with Brother Chen yesterday. He's going to have a play at his place today and he’ll come pick me up to watch it later. It's not a lie!"

“You're sneaking around together like you're already married! Don't you have any shame? This isn't being young, what is this?” asked Liu.

“Before a wedding, people from different families are not allowed to meet. Look at you, what do you look like!”

“What’s going on?” Ju cried, also standing up. “Aunt and Uncle, Qing’er and her brother-in-law, He’er and her brother-in-law…”.

“Didn’t all of you guys meet up every other day before getting married? Why did you all become ‘strays’ when you came to me?” asked Ju er.

Liu said: "Your sister, He'er, was hanging out with Yu Jinbao before she got married. At such a young age, she had miscarriages and other things going on. What a mess!"

“If this happened to you, I wouldn't be able to bear it. It's such a shame!”

"Combs hair quickly, when you're done go to your cousin's kitchen in the front yard. I'm so tired, I'm going back for a nap!"

Liu went out of the room with a yawn and returned to the next room to continue sleeping.

“Humph, don't want me to go out? I just have to go out!”

Originally, Chen Biao was supposed to have breakfast with Guier before coming to the village entrance to pick her up. Guier also came to wait for him by the roadside at the village entrance.

But it was noon, and Chen Biao still hadn't arrived.

>

Ju'er was a little annoyed. She stood by the road, kicking a stone with her foot and muttering to herself.

Just then, Yang Ruqing walked out of the courtyard and saw a familiar figure by the roadside.

"Juer, what are you doing here? Have you eaten lunch?" Yang Ruoqing asked, and walked over to Juer.

Ju'er looked up at Yang Ruqing approaching and frowned, a little unhappy. "Chen Biao said he was coming to pick me up for the opera today, but I've been waiting here for ages, feeling like an ice sculpture! He probably just forgot all about it..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing also raised her eyes to gaze towards the road. There was indeed no carriage coming.

"Could it be that your agreed-upon days are different?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Ju'er shook her head, "We're not kids anymore. We agreed on this today. My mother called me earlier to go cook for my younger cousins, so I sneaked out without telling her. He didn't even come! It makes me so mad!"

"It's also possible that Chen Jia has something going on today, and Chen Biao is so busy he forgot. When he comes back, don't rush to get angry, first listen to his explanation." Yang Ruoqing added.

Ju-er pursed her lips, buried her head, and then kicked at the small stones by the road with her toes.

Yang Ruqing said: "It's noon now, it seems like he won't be coming. You should go home quickly, your face is pale from the cold."

>

Ju'er shook her head, "I don't want to go back right now. My mother and sisters are at my little cousin's place cooking. If I go back, I'll be scolded!"

Yang Ruqing said, "So what are you going to do? Just stand here and pout?"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Ju'er puffed out her cheeks, "I still can't figure it out. Chen Biao had always kept his promises to me before, so why this time…"
