Chapter 16 Niu Datou Bullies Lu Yuanhuan

People who should be at work are at home at this time.

Lu Yuanqing and Lu Yuanbo ran home and were met by Lu Mingxi, who had just brought out the sweet potato porridge he had made.

Upon seeing the two of them return, his expressionless face instantly turned aggrieved. "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, you're finally back!"

"Where's my little sister?" Lu Yuanbo asked anxiously!

As people pointed and whispered among themselves along the way in the village, he heard Lu Yuanhuan's name and became very worried!

“In the room!” Lu Mingxi said, pointing to the room.

She had barely finished speaking when Lu Yuanbo rushed inside.

Lu Yuanqing turned her gaze away from the back of his head and looked at Lu Mingxi again. She stepped forward and touched the head of the pitiful-looking girl, suppressing her emotions and saying softly, "Don't be afraid, we're back. Tell Uncle San what happened!"

I was only gone for a day, and then one night, and everything at home changed.

Lu Mingxi sniffed and said with a nasal tone, "Third Uncle, everything was fine after you left yesterday!"

"But then, Niu Datou came to our house and said some really disgusting things..."

Even a young girl like Lu Mingxi wouldn't say those words.

"Niu Datou?" Lu Yuanqing didn't immediately recall this person.

After a moment of confusion, I finally remembered this person.

There aren't many families with the surname Niu in the village, only two families. These two families used to be one family, but they separated.

"Big Head Niu" is actually a nickname given to him by outsiders.

The "Niu Datou" that Lu Mingxi mentioned could only be the younger brother of Gu Baoxia's second sister-in-law, Niu Aixiang.

Speaking of the Niu family, they are the kind of family that the poorer they are, the more children they want to have.

Niu Aixiang's parents alone had four daughters before giving birth to Niu Datou.

Niu Datou's uncle's family also has three daughters, but no sons yet. It seems that his aunt is pregnant again this year at an advanced age.

Lu Yuanqing saw it when he went to work.

Can you imagine a woman with graying hair, who looks almost fifty, whose face is so thin from lack of food that she looks like a refugee, but whose belly is bulging?

When Lu Yuanqing first saw it, he was startled.

I heard she had three daughters and wanted a son.

He simply couldn't understand why someone over fifty years old was still so unwilling to give up on having a son. Such a spirit was too shocking to be true!

As the only male in both families, Niu Datou received all the resources they had. Even though his family didn't have many resources in the current environment.

But compared to his daughter, their lives were worlds apart!

Everyone in the Niu family has a relatively large head, so each generation is called Niu Datou by their peers.

The person Lu Mingxi and the others called "Big Head Niu" is Niu Bao, the only male member of the Niu family.

Niu Bao is Niu Aixiang's younger brother, and Niu Aixiang is his older sister; there is a significant age difference between them.

Niu Aixiang has already married Gu Hailiang, the second son of the Gu family, and has a son and a daughter.

Niu Bao, however, was only about seventeen years old.

However, Lu Yuanqing asked, "Does Lu Yuanhuan usually have contact with Niu Bao?"

"No, my aunt has never had any contact with Niu Bao!"

Lu Mingxi is three years younger than Lu Yuanhuan, and since they are both women, they usually get along better.

Lu Yuanqing thought for a moment and said, "Tell me about what happened yesterday in detail!"

“Yes!” Lu Mingxi nodded. “After work yesterday, Xiao Dong and I saw that it was still early, so we went to collect firewood…”

Lu Yuanqing and his group went to Yangliu Village, but the children at home didn't slack off because of their departure.

Lu Yuanhuan was busy at home, while Lu Mingxi and Lu Mingdong each carried a basket on their backs to collect firewood.

As the workday ended, smoke from cooking began to drift over the village, and Lu Yuanhuan was no exception. Although she was not as old as the older women in the village, she was just as capable.

But just then, Niu Datou ran straight to the Lu family's house.

He approached Lu Yuanhuan with a specific purpose in mind.

Lu Yuanhuan's expression changed drastically when she saw him.

"Huanhuan, have you thought about what I said?" Niu Datou said with a lewd grin.

Lu Yuanhuan was a little afraid of him. "I won't consider it. I don't need it. Don't come looking for me!"

Hearing her trembling voice, Niu Datou laughed even harder. "Huanhuan, I really like you, so just say yes! If you say yes, I'll immediately have my parents come and propose marriage. How about thirty catties of grain? Bring them over right away!"

Lu Yuanhuan is beautiful, and he has been thinking about her for a long time. As he was talking, Niu Datou stepped forward and reached out to take her hand.

Lu Yuanhuan was so frightened that she immediately put her hands behind her back. "Don't come any closer! I won't agree! I don't need your food!"

"Don't need it?" Niu Datou said, "You two nephews will starve to death! You don't need my food, do you think you two good-for-nothing brothers can handle it?"

Upon hearing him mention his two older brothers, Lu Yuanhuan's fear of this man lessened somewhat. "What right do you have to insult my brothers? What right do you have to insult them? You're not even worthy to carry their shoes."

A good-for-nothing who causes trouble all day long has no right to talk about her brothers.

Seeing her anger, Niu Datou scoffed, "Did I say something wrong? Two grown men who can't even support a family, I think they just want to starve you to death so they can finally be free!"

"Get out! Don't come looking for me! You're not welcome in my house!" Lu Yuanhuan was furious, but since she had never argued with anyone before and couldn't win the argument, she could only tell him to get out!

"No! Huanhuan, please say yes..."

"That's how Niu Datou started harassing his aunt. Aunt Zhang from the village saw it, and then the whole village knew about it!" Lu Mingxi said, telling the story bit by bit.

She recalled that when she and Lu Mingdong returned with firewood, they saw a large crowd gathered at the door of their house. Inside, the children were crying in fear, and the aunt at the door was being pointed at and cried.

She and Xiao Dong rushed over and saw Niu Datou still spouting disgusting things like "love" and "there's affection between them." The two of them slammed their baskets on the ground, pulled out the branches tied to the baskets, and were about to hit Niu Datou.

"Finally, it was Grandpa who came, scolded them, and chased Niu Datou away!" Lu Mingdong added.

You can imagine how Lu Yuanhuan felt after encountering such a thing. She didn't dare to go out today, her mind filled with thoughts of what people would say about her.

After listening, Lu Yuanqing glanced at the sweet potato porridge on the table without expression, and said to them in a flat tone, "Haven't eaten yet? You guys eat first! Xiao Xi, these are meat buns. Heat them up and give them to your younger brother and sister. Oh, save two for me to take to your uncle later!"

After saying that, he walked towards Lu Yuanhuan's room.

Lu Mingdong had been eyeing the meat buns on the table for a while.

Although it was cold, he could still seem to smell the fragrance.

"Want to eat?" Lu Mingdong asked Lu Mingxi.

"Eat!" Lu Mingxi said!

Good things should be kept in our stomachs, and besides, Uncle San and Uncle Si are already back. They can handle anything that comes up, so we don't need to worry about them!

Lu Mingdong was happy! But his third uncle hadn't said how many people could eat. Could he have one more?

Lu Yuanqing was unaware of his nephew and niece's thoughts, and simply walked into Lu Yuanhuan's room with a sullen face.

On the way back, he was still telling Lu Yuanbo that his cousin was so pitiful, having to be involved in a messy matchmaking at such a young age, only seventeen!

She didn't even want to marry a cripple who was seven or eight years older than her. For such a simple reason, she offered a few words of explanation, and everyone labeled her with all sorts of negative tags.

The shackles and reputations imposed on girls make it wrong for them to even resist!

Lu Yuanqing felt genuinely sorry for Qin Yingfeng at that time.

To my utter surprise, my sister encountered something similar when she got home.

After hearing Xiao Xi's account, his first reaction was, "So what? She's just being bothered by a toad! Be firm and tell him to get lost, what's the big deal? It's just rejecting someone she doesn't like!"

But it doesn't seem like something that can be solved simply by refusing.

Those who spoke ill of Qin Yingfeng in Yangliu Village were pointed at and gossiped about when they returned to the village, and people used all sorts of insulting words to talk about Huanhuan.

And... Huanhuan's attitude of hiding at home and not daring to see anyone because of these words.

All of this tells Lu Yuanqing that this is not a simple matter, nor is it something that can be easily accomplished; it seems anything but easy.

Lifting the curtain, all that came into view was Lu Yuanhuan lying on the bed against the wall, his expression hidden, only his back visible. But even from that back, one could sense Lu Yuanhuan's despair.

Lu Yuanbo was jumping up and down beside the bed.

"What do you care what those idiots are saying? Fourth Brother is going to teach them a lesson. Get up, we're going with you!"

"What are you afraid of! Hey, say something!!!"

Lu Yuanqing walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Go outside first, I want to talk to my little sister!"

Lu Yuanbo left in anger.

Lu Yuanqing looked at the person lying on the bed. This little girl was a bit timid and couldn't say no, but she was really very well-behaved.

Don't say Lu Yuanbo is careless; he is actually quite careless.

Lu Yuanhuan took care of all the housework perfectly without a single complaint.

She had to work with them, take care of everything at home, and look after the three young children.

It's truly unbelievable that such a young girl could be so extraordinary.

But this well-behaved girl was associated with the village hooligans.

Lu Yuanqing felt a pang of sympathy. "Why don't you talk to your third brother? Don't cry all by yourself!"
