After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 116, Episode 0120: A Bit Mysterious (Part 1)

Fortunately, although Ren Yan was excited, she still kept Lin Yuexi's physical condition in mind. She only hugged her for a moment and then immediately let go, which prevented her overwhelming surge of energy from drowning Lin Yuexi.

"You have no idea how much excitement has happened in the village while you were gone. One thing after another, oh right, Yu Mengmeng got pregnant, and then almost miscarried."

She had so much to say, but suddenly her mind went blank and she didn't know what to say, so one melon after another popped up.

After the New Year, the village was bustling with activity one after another, like a TV series, with melons appearing one after another.

The two families of the bride and groom had a fight before the wedding.
After that family caught him red-handed, they continued living their lives.

A house that was half-built in the north was demolished in the middle of the night, and all the building materials inside disappeared overnight.

A 'golden phoenix' flew out of a family in the south that favored daughters over sons, but the 'golden phoenix' turned around and took revenge on the family.

And so on and so forth, all sorts of things happened.

Lin Yuexi listened while eating noodles, and was quite shocked.

It's a small brigade, with only a handful of people, yet it's a place where you can experience all the flavors of life.

Leng Xingran and the others were also eating noodles around the table. There's a saying here: dumplings before getting on the train, noodles upon getting off. Ren Yan quickly prepared a large bowl of clear soup noodles for everyone.

The educated youth cared more about each other. Leng Xingran's first concern was about her fellow educated youth, "What happened to Yu, the educated youth? What do you mean by 'pregnant and almost lost her baby'?"

That sounds a bit far-fetched.

Ren Yan took off her apron and hung it up, then pulled up a short stool and sat down not far from everyone. "Just the day before yesterday, Aunt Sun's niece, Shani, got married. Shani usually gets along well with the people in the educated youth settlement, and her husband is also an educated youth, so she invited the entire educated youth settlement to the banquet."

Sha Ni wasn't really stupid; she just had a lot of strength from a young age and was a bit simple-minded. Because of her aunt's intentions, the villagers always called her that.

This story needs to be told from the beginning.

"Xi Bao, you don't know who Shani is, do you? She's Li Erzhu's daughter."

Oh, now I understand who it is and what happened.

However, Huo Han and Leng Xingchen, who were completely outsiders, were still clueless. One of them wasn't interested in gossip, and the other was too embarrassed to ask.

Leng Xingran, on the other hand, was happy to watch the drama unfold and share it, so she turned her head and gave an explanation to Leng Xingchen next to her.

When Li Erzhu was young, he had a high fever that wasn't treated in time, which damaged his brain. He wasn't very stupid, but he was no longer as clever either. His IQ was probably around that of a seven or eight-year-old. It seems that this was natural for him to never be able to get married. Sha Ni was an abandoned child that Li Erzhu picked up when he went to play in the mountains.

But the truth is, Li Erzhu's lack of marriage wasn't because no one wanted to marry him.

It's because although Li Erzhu isn't very bright, he's strong and incredibly lucky. Even when he just goes up the mountain to play, he almost always manages to bring home some wild game.

When he was little, pheasants and rabbits would run into him on their own. Now that he's grown up, sometimes he'll drag a wild boar that he's punched to death down the mountain.

In rural areas where sons are still favored over daughters in many places, how could no one want a son-in-law like Li Erzhu, who is brainless but often manages to bring home meat?

As for whether their daughter would be subjected to domestic violence after marriage, well, many people wouldn't care at all. Li Erzhu remained single. According to Aunt Sun, one reason was that his parents-in-law were afraid, because Li Erzhu was an exceptionally obedient and filial son, and they feared that he would be bullied by his daughter-in-law after they passed away; the other reason was that Li Erzhu had already taken in a simple-minded girl, and Li Erzhu and his wife had promised their parents that if the simple-minded girl didn't care about Li Erzhu in the future, they, their children, and they would take care of her.

Another reason is that Li Dazhu's wife, Hua Laotai, is unwilling for Li Erzhu to get married. Because Li Erzhu, who is only childlike, is easy to coax, but if he finds a wife with normal intelligence, the first wife may not be able to get any benefits from Li Erzhu.

Li Erzhu had been introduced to potential partners before, but Aunt Hua always managed to sabotage the plans by interfering.

When Li Erzhu took in Sha Ni, his two brothers already had several children, but Li Erzhu's parents were still alive, the family had not yet been divided, and they still lived in the same courtyard.

Li Erzhu wanted to keep Sha Ni, and Hua Laotai was the first to object. But to everyone's surprise, Li Erzhu, who had always been known for his rudeness, said "no" for the first time. Moreover, she beat Li Dazhu up because he wanted to take Sha Ni away and throw her away.

That's probably how the feud started; Old Lady Hua had a particular aversion to Sha Ni.

After the two elders passed away, the three brothers divided the family property. According to what the elders left behind, Li Erzhu did receive more than the other two brothers.

For example, the old house belonged to Li Erzhu, while the two brothers each had a plot of land to build their own houses, but the money was divided equally among the three brothers.

Grandma Hua was naturally unwilling, but there was nothing she could do. The Li clan had witnessed the division of the family property in a deathbed testament, and even Li Dazhu hadn't dared to say 'no,' so she certainly wouldn't dare either.

Originally, Grandma Hua thought she could take back the old house after Sha Ni got married, but she didn't expect that Sha Ni would be so foolish as to want to find a husband and take care of Li Erzhu for the rest of her life.

So Old Lady Hua went around slandering Sha Ni's reputation, hoping to prevent her from finding a husband.

Grandma Hua is quite successful. Silly Girl is already twenty-five, and matchmakers have never come to her door, nor has anyone ever inquired about her.

At this point, Leng Xingran looked at Ren Yan curiously, "You said that Sha Ni's man was an educated youth, which educated youth was he?"

"Luo Hui."

"what?"

"Who?"

Lin Yuexi and Leng Xingran were both shocked. How could it be Luo Hui?
To put it simply, the term "matrilocal marriage" has a derogatory connotation nowadays, especially for the man. Unless there's a genuine reason why a man can't make ends meet, he's unlikely to choose to marry into another family.

Luo Hui has always given people the impression of being cheerful and sunny, making it hard for people to associate him with the idea of ​​"not being able to make ends meet".

Ren Yan knew they would be shocked, and she was utterly shocked when she found out herself.

“Luo Hui is the second child in his family. He has an older brother, two younger brothers and a younger sister. Originally, Luo Hui was not supposed to go to the countryside. It was his fourth brother who was supposed to go. But Luo Hui gave up his job and took his place.”

As she spoke, a look of disdain crept onto her face. “When Luo Hui went home to visit his family at the end of the year, there was nowhere left for him to stay. His family even complained that he was dressed in rags and that it was shameful. When someone came to visit, they even said that Luo Hui was just a relative of theirs.”

Luo Hui and Shani had feelings for each other, but Luo Hui didn't want to marry into the family. They had been dating casually for half a year. Luo Hui originally wanted his family to help him return to the city during the Spring Festival so that he could find an opportunity to bring Shani and Li Erzhu into the city.

This way, it wouldn't be considered a son-in-law marrying into the family, and it would also fulfill Shani's filial piety.

He's too idealistic, but you have to admit he's not a scumbag at all.

But the Luo family dealt him a heavy blow. A few days of visiting relatives completely shattered Luo Hui's expectations of that family. After returning, he and Shani got their marriage certificate and hurriedly held a wedding.
