1940s: I supported my wife and sister-in-law by hunting.

Among the crowd, Xiao Kouzi was the most active. He squatted by the wall, covering his mouth and laughing uncontrollably, whispering to the person next to him in a low voice.

"Why is there no sound at all? The house is quiet. Could it be that Brother Qiang is really useless and can't do anything?"

"Who knows? It's been half a day, and we haven't heard a single word."

Qian Zhuizi was even more anxious. She tiptoed to the crack in the door of the new house, staring at the crack as if she wanted to stick her eyes in. She also shouted in a nonsensical way, deliberately teasing the people inside.

"Qiangzi's wife! If Qiangzi can't manage, just say so! We brothers are waiting outside. If it's really impossible, we'll come in and help you out, give Qiangzi a push!"

Upon hearing this, the young men under the wall were all trembling with suppressed laughter.

Actually, it wasn't just these young men outside; Wang Er and his wife were also hiding in a corner not far away. The couple were more anxious than anyone else, so they couldn't sleep.

He had to listen carefully to what was happening, for fear that his simple-minded son wouldn't understand and would delay important matters.

Hearing the young men making a ruckus outside, and fearing she might frighten her son inside, Aunt Wang hurriedly came out.

"Stop making a racket here! All of you, get home right now and stop causing trouble! My Qiangzi is definitely capable. If you keep yelling and scare my son, I'll get angry! Get out of here now, don't delay the important business inside!"

Chen Gaoshan squatted by the wall, listening for a long time but couldn't make heads or tails of it, finding it all rather uninteresting.

"Let's all go home. Aunt Wang has spoken, so let's not bother with this. Qiangzi finally got married, so let's not ruin his good day. Everyone, go home."

Seeing that the excitement was over and that the host had driven them away, the group of young men also felt it wasn't very interesting and went home.

Once everyone who had been eavesdropping had left and the courtyard was completely quiet, Wang Er paced back and forth outside the house with his hands behind his back, his mind racing with anxiety.

Aunt Wang moved closer to him, her heart filled with longing.

"Dad, what should we do? There's still no movement. If all else fails, let's go inside and help!"

Wang Er glared at her.

"Now you're in a hurry? You only think of looking for a latrine when you're already choking on your own shit! I told you before, you can't pull a cloth the size of your ass. This stupid boy doesn't know how to use a wife even if he gets married. What a waste of such a wife. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask Qiu Yanzi what's going on!"

Aunt Wang is as shrewd as a shrew. "What's wrong? I'm just asking you why you've wasted your time. What's bothering you? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to go in and help Qiangzi too? Have some shame!"

"You're dragging me into this whole Qiangzi thing! I wanted to take a second wife but they wouldn't let me, they insisted on letting that stupid Qiangzi do it. Now you're in trouble! Rabbi, get lost..."

"Fuck your mother, Wang Lao Er, you've finally told the truth! Someone like you, as long as I'm alive, you'll be the one to get rid of Bi Ting..."

But before she could finish speaking, a sound finally came from inside the tightly closed new house; all that could be heard was Sha Qiang panting heavily.

"I...I want to have a baby! Mom said! Let me hold you, hold you, yes..."

"Qiangzi, no, no, this is wrong, wrong, oh dear..."

"Ah~~"

Aunt Wang immediately pressed her ear tightly to the door, covered her mouth, and chuckled. She stopped scolding her husband and pulled Wang Er back home.

"I knew it! I knew our Qiangzi could handle it! Don't worry about anything, go back to your room and get some sleep!"

Looking at Qiangzi's mother, who was alternating between cursing and laughing, Wang Lao Er thought, "Damn it, what sins did I commit in my past life to end up with such an inhuman idiot?"

Resigned, he followed the old woman back into the house; he was already used to her antics.

Right now, in the main room, Da Ni is leading Er Ni in eating dates. "Sister, where did Mother go? I want Mother."

"Mom, she's married now, we have a new dad."

"That big idiot Qiang?"

"Yes, silly dad." Erni nodded. Silly dad is pretty good too, better than her biological father, he even gives her dates.

····

Although the two went back to their room, they also let Da Ni and Er Ni go back to their room to sleep.

The two lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), barely daring to breathe, their ears perked up, watching the movements from the side room.

At first, you could hear a few mumbled words coming from inside the house, making a little noise, but after a short while, the house became completely quiet.

Wang Er poked Qiangzi's mother's arm.

"They've calmed down; they definitely didn't get it done. That silly boy, he's driving me crazy!"

Aunt Wang was also feeling suffocated. She turned over, hoping for a change in the situation, but she stayed up until late at night without any movement from the side room. She was filled with anger and finally managed to doze off for a while.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Qiu Yanzi got up, thinking she should hurry to the kitchen to make breakfast and avoid her in-laws' questioning.

But as soon as she lifted the curtain and stepped out of the house, she saw that Aunt Wang Er and Wang Er were already blocking the entrance to the courtyard. The two of them stood there with their hands behind their backs, clearly having been waiting there since early morning to ask questions.

Wang Er was impatient and couldn't hold back any longer, so he opened his mouth and asked.

"Yanzi, what exactly did you do last night? Why didn't you make a sound at all?"

Aunt Wang glared at him and grabbed him.

"Hiss~ You old fool, shut up! What kind of father-in-law asks his daughter-in-law such a question? Aren't you afraid of getting a sore mouth?"

Wang Er was so annoyed that he waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask. Go ahead and ask."

Aunt Wang Er approached Qiu Yanzi.

"Yanzi, tell me the truth, did Qiangzi sleep with you last night? Were you both naked? Did you teach him anything?"

Qiu Yanzi wasn't embarrassed at all. "Once I took it off, Qiangzi kept hugging my legs."

When Aunt Wang heard that there was a chance, her eyes lit up immediately, and she grabbed Qiu Yanzi's arm.

"And then what? Just holding his leg isn't enough, what else did you do? Didn't you take the initiative and lead him to do something productive?"

"He just kept holding onto my leg and wouldn't let go. Before long, we fell asleep like that, and it lasted all night."

"Oh my god! Did we, the Wang family, marry you into our family so you could just sleep around? Why don't you do anything productive? Are you just treating us like a sucker, coming here to freeload? Let me tell you, Qiu Yanzi, you can't fool me about this!"

Qiu Yanzi was already feeling wronged, and after being scolded by Aunt Wang, she didn't care about saving face or anything else, and pushed all the blame onto Sha Qiangzi.

"It's my fault! Your son won't touch me, what can I do? Qiangzi is so strong, he's several sizes bigger than me, I'm just a woman, I can't hold him down at all, I can't do it even if I wanted to!"

Aunt Wang was burning with anxiety, thinking about the Wang family's need to continue its lineage.

"What am I going to do? Why is having a baby so difficult!"

"Can't you take the initiative? Hug your man, kiss him, and comfort him! You've already given birth to two girls, you're not inexperienced. Whether you can do it or not, you have to. Being a woman is your duty!"

Sha Qiangzi also came out of the west wing with a big yawn. His hair was messy and his clothes were crooked. He looked like he had just woken up.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at his parents and Qiu Yanzi in the yard.

"I don't want a wife anymore, give her to this old man, Dad! Dad wants a wife, but getting married is too tiring. Last night he slept with her legs wrapped around his, and he was so tired, it wasn't comfortable at all. Dad, you can have her, she's yours."

Upon hearing this, Wang Er really wanted to agree, but with a shrew in the house, he had the will but not the guts, and he raised his hand to beat his silly son.

Aunt Wang glanced at the head of the household, who seemed eager to step forward and do everything herself.

"Qiu Yanzi, why aren't you in the kitchen cooking? What are you standing there for? You're just making a fool of yourself! Don't you know why I married you? You're so shameless."

Qiu Yanzi hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.

As soon as Qiu Yanzi left, Aunt Wang Er immediately pulled Sha Qiangzi over, dragged him to the wall in the yard, and coaxed him patiently.

"Qiangzi, my silly son, listen to your mother. Getting married is a good thing. It's good to have a wife! Don't you love eating big steamed buns? Your wife is like a big steamed bun, soft and delicious."

"Let me tell you a few more things. Men are like cleverness, women are like a nest. Cleverness is afraid of cats. When a cat comes, cleverness will run into its nest. Do you understand?"
