Northeast: My Absurd Woman

As soon as Liu Guimei entered the courtyard, she said, "Zheng Meizhi is pregnant with Guan Lin's child," which enraged Li Yue'e.

Ignoring everything else, Li Yue'e went up to Guan Lin, who was repairing a basket on the ground, and punched him.

"Li Yue'e, are you fucking crazy? How dare you hit a man?"

Guan Lin didn't understand what Liu Guimei was saying, so he thought Li Yue'e was just making trouble for no reason.

He stood up and pressed Li Yue'e against the warehouse wall behind him.

"Guan Lin, I've been with you all these years and given you ten children."

She spent ten years in postpartum confinement without ever eating an egg.

I've never complained about you not being able to control your urges.

Our Yuxiu and Yutian are both of marriageable age.

How could you, as a father, let Zheng Meizhi extort you?

"She's pregnant with your child, what are you going to say? Are you going to divorce me and marry her?"

After being subdued by Guan Lin, Li Yue'e became more obedient.

"I haven't seen Zheng Meizhi for so long, how come she's pregnant?"

She's a woman with a man, so why does she claim the child is mine?

Don't listen to other people's nonsense and jump to conclusions. If you keep acting unreasonably, I'll really beat you up.

Guan Lin released Li Yue'e and glanced at Liu Guimei with a sense of uncertainty.

"Second brother, don't look at me. I only heard it from Mother and Changyao."

Zheng Meizhi is currently staying at her fifth uncle's house on the kang (heated brick bed). If you don't believe me, go ask your mother and Changyao.

Liu Guimei was not afraid and pointed to Zhang Shuhua and Zhang Changyao, who had already walked to the gate.

"Second son, you are such a worry for your mother. How could you be so careless as to let Zheng Meizhi get pregnant?"

"He's about to become a father-in-law, can't we have some shame?"

Once inside the courtyard, Zhang Shuhua grabbed a branch from the woodpile at the gate and was about to whip Guan Lin.

"Auntie, please don't hit my second brother yet. Let's explain things clearly first."

Zhang Changyao held Zhang Shuhua to stop her from hitting Guan Lin, and then told Guan Lin what had happened.

"Changyao, why do you tell my mother everything?"

Zheng Meizhi is playing the dog and the hunchback, so you should come to our house on her behalf.

Are you stupid, kid? Can't you tell the difference between near and far?

After hearing Zhang Changyao's explanation, Guan Lin understood the whole story.

He dared not speak to the women in front of him, so he took his anger out on Zhang Changyao.

"Second brother, you can't blame me. What am I supposed to do if Zheng Meizhi stays on my kang (heated brick bed)?"

She said that the thing in the stable didn't work, so the child was yours.

If your family doesn't step up now, our family can't afford it either.

Seeing that Guan Lin was unresponsive and even complained about him, Zhang Changyao felt wronged.

"Changyao, why don't you come with me to find Zheng Jingren and ask him to take Zheng Meizhi home first?"

As for the child, I'll discuss it with your second brother and sister-in-law when I get back.

Zhang Shuhua had a sudden inspiration and came up with a good idea.

"I don't care whether my second brother acknowledges the child or not."

All I need is for Zheng Meizhi to stop loitering on my kang (heated brick bed) and stop bothering me.

Zhang Changyao glared at Guan Lin sideways, then turned around and followed Zhang Shuhua to find Zheng Jingren.

"Shuhua, why did you think of my home? Do you miss me?"

What's Zhang Changyao doing here with you? This kid doesn't know how to read the situation; he's just getting in the way.

Zheng Jingren saw Zhang Shuhua enter the room and sit on the kang (a heated brick bed).

She smiled, then hurriedly got off the ground, grabbed a handful of candies from the box, and handed them to her.

Upon seeing Zhang Changyao follow in, she immediately pouted.

"Zheng Jingren, I'm here to talk to you. Don't talk nonsense, the child is right here with us!"

Zhang Shuhua kicked Zheng Meizhi out of the stable, where she was pregnant, because Zheng Meizhi was now a man.

He stayed on the kang (heated brick bed) at Zhang Kaiju's house and refused to leave, telling Zheng Jingren about his search for Guan Lin.

"Shuhua, do you think my Meizhi is stupid?"

Your Guan Lin already has ten children, how can you still want this one in her belly?

Even if Guan Lin were to marry her, could she possibly take care of those ten children?

Zheng Jingren didn't pretend in front of Zhang Shuhua and said whatever came to mind.

"Zheng Jingren, that's a story for later. I came to find you because I want you to take Meizhi home."

"It's not good for this child to stay on someone else's kang (heated brick bed)." Zhang Shuhua got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Okay! Shuhua, I'll do whatever you say. Let's go now."

Zheng Jingren grabbed Zhang Shuhua's arm and left, ignoring Zhang Changyao who was still beside him.

The group walked in silence until they reached Zhang Changyao's house.

Zheng Jingren walked behind Zhang Shuhua and saw Zhao Xiulan before even entering the house.

Just as he was about to stop, Zhang Changyao, who was behind him and couldn't dodge in time, bumped him into the house.

"Zheng Jingren, you old bastard, look at the kind of thing you've raised!"

Not only did they kick my son into a state of disability, they also disfigured my face.

"If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving this house."

Upon seeing Zheng Jingren, Zhao Xiulan bypassed Zhang Shuhua and grabbed Zheng Jingren by the collar, ready to fight him to the death.

"Xiulan, your face is bleeding. Do you have any ointment at home?"

Upon seeing Zhao Xiulan, Zheng Jingren immediately ignored Zhang Shuhua, who was standing next to him.

He looked Zhao Xiulan's face up and down, his expression full of heartache.

"Zheng Jingren, you old bastard, don't you know how to control your daughter?"

My son Pengsheng is now a useless person, what will become of him?

It's better that my face is smudged, so you won't say it's the root of all trouble.

Zhao Xiulan did not dodge, letting Zheng Jingren manipulate her head.

Her pitiful eyes were full of dependence on Zheng Jingren.

"Xiulan, I really didn't know what you're talking about. If I had known, I would never have let Meizhi do that."

Now that it's happened, don't blame the children; it's their fate.

I have some salted meat at home that I wanted to bring to you, but I'm afraid Zhang Kaiju will get angry.

"Why don't you come to my house with me? I'll take out all the salted meat and stew it for you."

Zheng Jingren was completely mesmerized by Zhao Xiulan's gaze.

He had completely forgotten why he and Zhang Shuhua had come to Zhang Changyao's house.

"Zheng Jingren, I don't want to eat meat right now, I just want my son to be well."

Zhao Xiulan sobbed and threw herself into Zheng Jingren's arms for comfort.

"Zheng Jingren, did I bring you here to have an affair?"

Your daughter's still watching from the bed! Don't you have any shame?

Zhang Shuhua, unable to bear it any longer, pulled the two people apart and pointed at Zheng Jingren, cursing him.

"Shuhua, I wanted to comfort Xiulan, after all, it was my daughter who kicked and damaged the stable."

We're both perfectly fine right now, so don't worry about that.

Zheng Jingren, who then reached out and hugged Zhao Xiulan, turned back to explain to Zhang Shuhua.

"Zheng Jingren, this is our Zhang family, so you should be mindful of your behavior."

No matter what, Aunt Xiulan is still our Zhang family's daughter-in-law.

"Shouldn't you two let go of each other while you're hugging and cuddling like that?"

When Zhang Changyao saw Zhang Kaiju returning to the yard with a manure basket, he immediately reminded the people inside the house.

"Father, I'm pregnant. I don't know whose child it is, but judging from the dates, it should be Guan Lin's."
