Chapter 111 An Enviable Job

Soon, Da Liu's slightly smug voice rang in Yun Xi's ears, "Of course, Er Zhu Zi's wife and I are old friends. She told me this when she wasn't paying attention, and I remembered it at the time."

Then came the envious voices of others, "That's great, you can get paid just by taking a quick look. Why don't we ever encounter such a good thing?"

"Yes, their second son is still young, but he's already 13 years old. I heard he's still in school. It seems that even though their family is down on their luck now, they're still quite well-off."

"That's right! Their second son is already a teenager and can do heavy and tiring work. Although they ask Erzhuzi to keep an eye on him more often, he doesn't really need to do anything. He just needs to take a walk around when he has nothing to do. This money is really easy to earn."

"You still haven't explained why the eldest son of the Chen family would ask Erzhuzi for help? Is there some connection between them?"

Yunxi, who was standing nearby, was also very curious about this matter. You see, most people are actually not willing to deal with them. Although they did not mistreat these tenants when they were landlords, these tenants were still not very happy to be with their former landlords.

"What's so strange about that? Widow Chen's family used to be landlords, and Erzhuzi used to work for her."

The whole village is called Yunjia Village. Actually, Widow Chen's home is not in Yunjia Village. Since the landlords were overthrown, she rarely comes to the village.

Yunxi thought about the widow Chen they mentioned. Her place was about 20 or 30 minutes away from the innermost part of the village, and it was very remote.

But that's precisely why no one bothers them. Only those who have the time to travel so far just to bully them.

The people in Yunjia Village were quite nice. Widow Chen's family hadn't done anything particularly heinous. It was just that they were classified as landlords when class divisions were made, so naturally, the two sides began to sever ties.

"Da Liu, your gossip has become so unfunny. I really thought that Er Zhuzi and Widow Chen had something going on, but it turns out it's just like that. Honestly, what a waste of time."

"Exactly, they really piqued our interest, but it turned out to be fake."

Da Liu refused to admit that the gossip he was telling was fake. "My gossip is not fake. When I first told you that the hungry man and the widow were close, I didn't say that there was anything between them. Wasn't that all your guesses? You can't frame me for this."

"Huh~"

Everyone frowned, expressing their dissatisfaction with her gossip and urging her to tell another interesting story from the village.

Da Liu frowned, thinking about the latest news in the village these past two days. Soon, her eyes lit up as she remembered a newly acquired piece of information.

He glanced around and, seeing no one from Granny Yun's family nearby, whispered, "You all know Granny Yun's granddaughter, Yun Zhaodi, right?"

"I know, I know, what happened to his family again?"

“I’ve seen Yun Zhaodi these past two days. She’s had a gloomy face the whole time, like someone owes her hundreds of dollars. Could it be related to what you’re talking about?”

"That's right. I got a rumor from Yun Zhaodi's aunt and the others. I heard that Yun Zhaodi has already arranged a husband. You would never guess where Yun Zhaodi's husband's family is from?"

Although Da Liu felt that Yun Zhaodi's search for a husband this time was definitely related to what happened with Yun Xi last time, she didn't say it out loud.

Yunxi is such a well-behaved, obedient, and sensible girl. It's all because Yun Zhaodi provoked her first.

She secretly wished that Yun Zhaodi would get married soon. What if such a vicious girl ruined someone else's daughter in the village?

You know, she has a daughter at home, and now she feels uneasy about letting that daughter go out.

This gossip was truly shocking, surprising everyone around. They all eagerly asked Da Liu:

"Is your news true? You know, Yun Zhaodi is only 13 years old, not even 14. Although there used to be girls who got married at 13, it's less common now. Why is she getting married so soon?"

"Yes, what exactly is the reason?"

"And another thing, where did she marry that surprised you so much?"

Finally, Yunxi heard Yun Zhaodi's gossip and immediately listened attentively.

It seems that Yun Zhaodi's unpleasant expression is due to her upcoming marriage. Moreover, the family she is marrying into may not be very good, and she herself is not satisfied with it, which is why she has such a long face.

Yunxi couldn't wait for her to get married, otherwise she would definitely deal with her as soon as she found an opportunity.

Perhaps having whetted everyone's appetite, Da Liu didn't wait any longer and told them directly.

"As you all probably know, about a day's walk up the mountain, there's a village that used to be made up of hunters. The people there make a living by hunting, and there aren't many of them, only about a dozen households. The person Yun Zhaodi's family introduced to her is from that village."

These words shocked everyone around. "Really? Because there are few women in that village, and few women are willing to marry into it, it's a case of one family sharing one wife, brothers sharing a wife. What is Granny Yun's family thinking? Isn't this pushing Zhao Di into a pit of fire?"

"Yes, what are they thinking? Even if they don't treat their granddaughters well, they still raised them to adulthood. How can they marry their granddaughters off to such a family?"

"I've heard that none of the women in that village live past 40; they all die from overwork."

Yunxi squatted by the big rock. When she heard that she was about to be married off, she didn't think much of it at first.

When she heard that the person she was marrying was from a family with several brothers, and that she was to be a shared wife for them, she didn't understand what it meant at first. But combining the meaning of their words with the words she had heard in her memory, she instantly understood what a shared wife meant.

Yunxi didn't seem to feel sorry for Yun Zhaodi at all; she really has no compassion.

No wonder I felt so bad when I saw her. It's no wonder she's in such a bad mood. She's getting married, and to a large family at that.

However, someone as vicious as her could probably live a good life even if she married into a remote mountain village and became a shared wife.
