Yun Siman frowned, but dared not push her too hard. What if she bumped herself?
"No, second sister-in-law, what are you doing..." Yun Siman pushed her hand away, his face filled with disgust and revulsion.
Fortunately, there was no one else in the room. Otherwise, if he, a younger brother-in-law, were to be seen clinging to his sister-in-law, crying and wailing, people would think he was trying to take advantage of her.
If this got out, how would he ever get married in the future?
Liu Cuirong wailed loudly, "Wuwuwu, fourth brother, please pity your second sister-in-law and give her some money. Although your second brother kicked me out, we were family once. Second sister-in-law even made jelly and stir-fried hazelnuts for you..."
She didn't know where Yun Siman had been all these years, but judging by his attire, he was doing quite well.
If nothing else, the treasure sword at his waist was worth at least ten taels of silver.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you asking me for money?" Yun Siman put on his mask. "If you have any grievances, go talk to my second brother and parents. You're pregnant and crying so much, why don't you think about the child..."
"What do you think?" Liu Cuirong suddenly shouted. "They showed no regard for decency and kicked even a pregnant woman out. Don't they think about the child?"
Yun Siman: "..."
A slap cannot be made with one hand. If you were fine, your family wouldn't have kicked you out no matter how bad they were.
Even if you take a step back, to put it bluntly, if you were different, would your second brother have gone looking for other women?
No matter who was right or wrong, Yun Siman didn't want to get involved.
"I'm leaving, second sister-in-law. Take care of yourself!" Yun Siman walked out without looking back.
Gu Mingyan had only given him ten days of leave. Once the holiday was over, he had to return to the capital to handle affairs...
So he couldn't afford to waste a single moment.
Moreover, the assassins sent by the neighboring country were still looking for him in secret. If his whereabouts were exposed, his entire family would suffer.
"Yun Laosi, you're not playing fair!" Liu Cuirong, seeing that he was unmoved by either persuasion or threat, cursed him in exasperation.
"Yun Laosi, when you and my second brother first got married, did you peek at me bathing? I don't even want to talk to a brother-in-law like you, always staring at your sister-in-law with a lecherous gaze. You're a beast..."
Yun Siman paused and turned back. "No, second sister-in-law, can you stop talking nonsense? When did I ever peek at you bathing?"
Why would this woman be worth him staring at lecherously?
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, do you believe I'll hit you?" Yun Siman clenched his fist.
Liu Cuirong puffed out her chest and shook her head. "You wouldn't dare, you wouldn't dare! You did look!"
Yun Siman: "..."
What a problem!
Even if he were desperate for a woman, he wouldn't do such vulgar, filthy, and disgusting things to his sister-in-law.
The thought of it made him sick.
"What, why aren't you talking? Are you guilty?" Liu Cuirong moved closer to Yun Siman.
Yun Siman pinched his nose.
The smell.
How long had it been since she last bathed or washed her clothes...
For a woman to reach this point was indeed extreme.
"I won't argue with a madwoman!" Yun Siman walked out of the steamed bun shop, his anger boiling.
He never wanted to eat steamed buns again in his life.
Taking advantage of Liu Cuirong's pursuit, Yun Siman mounted his horse and sped out of the street...
"Hmph, run away! I wish you'll be a bachelor your whole life and never get a wife!" Liu Cuirong stomped her foot.
Yun Siman had never met such an unreasonable person in his life.
Back in Feiyan Village, his eldest brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law, and parents dealt with Liu Cuirong...
Facing her alone now, he truly understood his family's feelings.
If he married a wife like her, he would kick her out the day after the wedding, not even lasting a day.
As the sky gradually darkened, Yun Siman bought a few jars of sorghum wine and two large bags of pastries and sent them to the inn.
He planned to visit his parents the next morning. It was dark now, and they would be resting...
Thinking that his parents, at their age, had never bought him any new clothes, he wandered to a silk shop.
This place not only sold coarse cloth, fine cloth, and silk, but also various ready-made garments.
A plump woman was sitting at the counter, quietly eating a sticky bean bun.
When Yun Siman walked in, the woman didn't look up, her cheeks bulging with the bean bun...
Yun Siman looked around and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have clothes for old men and women? Pick the best fabric!"
"Mmm! Cough cough! Ugh!" The woman patted her chest and quickly reached for a cup of water. "I'm choking, cough cough, gulp gulp, ha!"
Yun Siman: "..."
Are all the women in this county not quite normal?
Why eat bean buns like this? Aren't you afraid of choking?
It took the woman a long while to look up. "How old is the old man? How tall is he? Is he fat or thin?"
Yun Siman was shocked once again...
He stared intently at the woman in front of him, stunned for a long time before saying, "Third, third sister-in-law?"
The woman before him was none other than Yun Sanman's wife, Gao Fengjuan.
After the old Yun family received the letter from Governor Qin, they notified Gao Mantang that Little Tianbao had been found.
So Gao Mantang took Yun Sanman to Dashui Village to congratulate them, leaving Gao Fengjuan alone in the county town to watch the shop...
"Don't call me that. I don't have a brother-in-law!" Gao Fengjuan rolled her eyes.
Yun Siman was sure he hadn't mistaken her. This woman was the daughter of the Gao family, into which his third brother had married.
What was happening to him today? As soon as he arrived in the county town, he had met two sisters-in-law.
His second sister-in-law was a crazy, unreasonable, and troublesome type, and the one before him didn't seem very bright either...
"Haha, third sister-in-law, I'm Siman!" Yun Siman quickly took off his mask and smiled at Gao Fengjuan.
A hint of amazement flashed in Gao Fengjuan's eyes.
What a handsome and refined young man.
Tall and strong, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his handsome appearance was like a man stepping out of a painting, making Gao Fengjuan lick her lips...
"Third sister-in-law, do you recognize me?" Yun Siman asked with a smile.
"Mmm, mmm, mmm, I recognize you. You're handsome!" Gao Fengjuan nodded repeatedly.
Yun Siman: "..."
You can go back to eating your bean buns. I'll buy clothes from someone else.
This conversation was over.
Seeing Yun Siman about to leave, Gao Fengjuan quickly stopped him. "Oh, look at you, you've grown so tall! You must be at least 1.85 meters tall now? And you're even better looking than before!"
Oh my, he was even taller than Sanman.
In the past, the Gao family and the Yun family were not close, very distant.
Gao Fengjuan had only met Yun Siman once when she married Yun Sanman, and had never seen him since...
Yun Siman didn't want to talk about height and asked, "Where's my third brother?"
Gao Fengjuan replied without thinking, "Oh, he's dead!"
