Chapter 245: If He Acts Indecently, He'll Make Him Act Decently!

Yu Siyang led Ah Wu out of the Yu family residence.

Two guards followed behind, looking intimidating and not to be messed with.

The villagers watched from a distance for a while, but unable to contain their curiosity, they moved a bit closer. Still, they didn’t dare to come too near, keeping a distance of several feet, and shouted to Yu Siyang, "Siyang, is this your girl?"

The villagers were somewhat deliberately trying to make Ah Wu blush.

However, not only did Ah Wu not blush, but she also looked over with curiosity.

It was the villager who ended up blushing quickly after seeing Ah Wu's beautiful face.

Yu Siyang said seriously, "We're not married yet, so don't call her that."

The Yu family had a good reputation in Nan Tuo Village. Everyone knew Yu Siyang's situation, but they didn't make things difficult for him too much.

However, seeing that Yu Siyang, of all people, had struck some incredible luck and was going to marry the granddaughter of a prestigious scholar, and such a beautiful one at that, this made many feel envious and jealous.

Several villagers, even those on good terms with the Yu family, couldn't help but feel a bit sour and deliberately said some discouraging words:

"Siyang, in our small village, bringing back such a fancy lady, can she handle our humble lifestyle? Don't be surprised if she can't take it and runs away!"

Before Yu Siyang could respond, Ah Wu asked curiously, "Who are you? How do you know I can't handle it? If I can, what then?"

Ah Wu's triple counter-question left the villager feeling awkward.

Ah Wu was as innocent as a child, asking out of genuine curiosity, but to those who didn't know her well, it sounded like she was deliberately challenging them.

This had an unexpected effect. The villagers thought this young miss seemed not easy to provoke, and fewer came forward to say any more sour words. However, some villagers still felt sour and whispered that this young miss seemed to have quite a temper, and Yu Siyang would have his hands full in the future.

Yu Siyang looked at Ah Wu with shining eyes. "Ah Wu, you're incredible."

Though the villagers' teasing hadn't affected Ah Wu much, being looked at so intently by Yu Siyang made her feel her cheeks burning up.

Ah Wu, rarely stumbling over her words, said, "D-does that mean I am?"

Yu Siyang nodded solemnly and seriously.

The unmarried couple sweetly exchanged glances and burst into giggles.

When Yu Siyang took Ah Wu to the wild field, they didn’t see Xingxing and Ju Geer. He guessed Xingxing might be by the stream, so he took Ah Wu there, but they still didn’t see Xingxing.

However, the scenery by the stream was so picturesque that they couldn’t resist playing there for a while.

Not far away, the young married women and girls washing clothes by the stream couldn’t help but stare, completely captivated.

Yu Siyang was handsome, and Ah Wu was as beautiful as a flower. The two playing by the stream, with the sunlight glistening on the water, made them look as if they were bathed in a golden glow, as if they'd stepped out of a painting.

It was hard not to feel a twinge of envy.

When Yu Siyang brought Ah Wu back to the Yu family residence, Xingxing and Ju Geer were already playing in the courtyard.

On the windowsill was an old, simple porcelain vase with a large bunch of freshly picked wildflowers arranged without any particular method, looking delightfully rustic.

It was clear that Xingxing and Ju Geer had just arranged them.

Ah Wu happily went to hug Xingxing. "Xingxing!"

"Sister Ah Wu!"

The two of them happily spoke, leaving Yu Siyang aside.

It was the first time Ju Geer had met Ah Wu, and upon seeing her face, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh wow!"

He said to Yu Siyang, "Uncle, is this the future little aunt?"

Yu Siyang smiled and replied, "Yes!"

Ju Geer had a new question, "If she's the future little aunt, why does Xingxing call her sister?"

Yu Siyang was stunned for a moment, realizing he hadn't noticed this issue.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "No big deal. We aren’t married yet, so let Xingxing call her whatever she likes!"

Ju Geer nodded and decided to follow Xingxing in calling her Sister Ah Wu.

Just then, Xingxing brought Ah Wu back and introduced Ju Geer to her.

Seeing such a beautiful older sister for the first time, so different from anyone he'd met before, Ju Geer stumbled and called out, "Aunt Ah Wu."

Not "little aunt" or "sister," this odd title made Ah Wu laugh heartily without taking offense, responding warmly.

Ju Geer scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

Grandfather Liu stood at the door, watching the harmonious scene in the courtyard with great satisfaction.

Even if the conditions weren't perfect, he could improve them. But if people didn't get along, there was nothing he could do about it.

For now, the Yujia people seemed easy to get along with.

The two elders, Wei Pozi and Yu Laotou, were reasonable, and the three daughters-in-law, though simple country folk, didn't seem hard to get along with. The younger generation was innocent and lively, getting along well with Ah Wu.

Grandfather Liu stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Since Ah Wu had no issues staying with the Yujia and got along well with them, Grandfather Liu deliberately sped up the wedding process.

Especially after receiving a reply from the capital, his eldest son mentioned that Madam Cui, who had borne children for the Liu family and managed household affairs for many years, deserved recognition for her hard work. If she were to be dismissed for a single mistake, people might say the Liu family was heartless. Therefore, he decided to send Madam Cui to the family temple to reflect on her mistakes.

To apologize to Ah Wu, his eldest son specially sent two boxes of fashionable fabrics and jewelry from the capital.

This outcome was not unexpected for Grandfather Liu.

Being sent to the family temple...

Grandfather Liu sneered, tore up his eldest son’s letter, went to his study, and revised the will he had left there.

Originally, he had written the will to leave half of his remaining property to Ah Wu, two-tenths to each of his eldest and second sons, and the remaining one-tenth to Old Mao, who had been with him for a lifetime, to help settle the servants in the old mansion.

Now, with a stroke of his pen, Grandfather Liu removed the four-tenths for his eldest and second sons and changed it to leave nine-tenths to Ah Wu.

If his eldest son was not decent, he would make him decent!

Amidst the cicadas’ chirping, Ah Wu, dressed in a red wedding gown and accompanied by her maids and dowry, married into the Yujia family.

The Yujia hosted a three-day feast, serving dishes that were anything but shabby, leaving the villagers of Nantuo Village with rosy cheeks and greasy smiles.

The village had always loved to create a ruckus during weddings, but Yu Siyang, caring deeply for Ah Wu, didn’t care that he was the groom. He rolled up his sleeves and got down to business, throwing out the nosy villagers trying to listen in outside the new couple's room.

The villagers scattered, yelping like wounded dogs.

It had been quickly spruced up these past few days. The furniture that Grandfather Liu had sent over consisted of the pieces Ah Wu was accustomed to using. The quilts were adorned with brocade and silk, making the cozy space look elegant and cozy.

Ah Wu felt right at home.

That night, the red candles in their room flickered well into the night. After all, it was their wedding night.
