I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 39 The Bride Sitting in Blessing

When Yang Yuhan's two henchmen saw that Director Wang had been captured, Yang Yuhan made a condition: that he release Yang Jun as soon as possible.

"Xi, Qing, hurry up, let go of him." Director Wang couldn't speak because Yu Han's arm was holding his throat.

The two henchmen immediately released Yang Jun, who returned to his own group. Yang Yuhan also released the director.

Yang Zhannan went back into the house to get the key, opened the gate, and let the two of them into the yard.

Director Wang entered the courtyard, his two tiny, beady eyes fixed on the large pig's head on the offering table.

The two lackeys followed the director's gaze, and then Wu Da said with a grin, "Director Wang, how about we take that big pig's head back and make it into a New Year's Eve dish?"

Xi Qingchao Wu Da grinned.

Director Wang puffed out his chest, feigning composure, and then pretended to scold, "You bastards, are we here to arrest someone or to take away that big pig's head? You two, hurry up and go in and arrest him!"

Yang Yuhan smiled secretly upon seeing this!

The other members of the Yang family immediately went to stop the three from entering the south wing.

Judging from the three men's posture, Yang Zhanbei knew they wouldn't act until they saw something good.

He reacted immediately. He whispered a few words in Director Wang's ear, then gave his family a meaningful look, meaning that they should all stay put and follow his instructions. So they didn't stop him. After all, he had been away from his two brothers since he was a child, traveling all over the country and making his way in the world. It was better for him than for his brothers who had no experience in the countryside.

Yang Zhanbei walked to the offering table, picked up the large white pig's head that was placed on it for the New Year's Eve worship, and handed it to Director Wang. Director Wang smiled and immediately had his henchman Wu Da carry it. Wu Da picked up the large pig's head and felt it was quite heavy, then smiled at Xi Qing.

Yang Yuhan did not stop Yang Zhanbei from doing this. She simply held the big white pig's head in Wu Da's arms, blew on it gently, and then immediately turned around and went back into the house to see how her aunt was doing.

The three of them then left tall and imposing.

Yang Zhanbei watched the backs of the three people leaving the gate, and then explained to the Yang family members who were unaware of the reason, "Didn't you realize that Director Wang came here for this purpose?"

Director Wang, accompanied by two henchmen, was able to launch a raid on New Year's Eve to arrest women who had given birth in violation of the one-child policy. She was determined to catch them, so someone must have tipped her off.

The person who tipped me off must have been the pair of eyes that peeked outside the gate just before my aunt was about to give birth, and then immediately fled.

The five men held the large white pig's head in their arms. The three men were overjoyed as they looked at the pig's head. They walked along laughing. Just as they stepped out of Yang Hongfa's courtyard, the pig's head's eyes widened, its pupils dilating. It stared at Director Wang with a gaze that seemed both evil and ambiguous.

Then, he slightly opened his mouth and began to speak, "Director, are you lusting after my pig-head appearance, or are you lusting after the flesh and bones on my pig-head? Lust is lust, lust is emptiness; without lust, there is no lust."

The pig-headed man rolled his eyes at her, giving her a flirtatious look.

"Quickly return my head to the master's altar. I have no regrets dying for my master. If you eat my head, I will haunt you even as a ghost. Also, return the money and tickets you took from Yang Zhanbei last time. Remember, forgiving others is forgiving yourself."

The three of them were so frightened they almost lost their minds!

"Damn it, even a pighead can fawn over me and wink at me! I can't stand a pighead's gaze! Wu Da, you, you, put the pighead back where it was right now."

"Okay!" Wu Da agreed, turned around and quickly walked a few steps into the yard, put the big pig's head back in its original position, and immediately turned back.

Director Wang suddenly handed over all the money he had received from Yang Zhanbei that he hadn't spent yet, and gave it to Xi Qing. Xi Qing took the money, cloth coupons, and meal tickets, and placed them on the offering table in the same way. Then the three of them made their escape!

The man in the courtyard was completely baffled, then burst into laughter!

Suddenly, a loud, resounding cry of a baby kicking came from the west room of the south wing...

Liu Shuzhen, who lived in the west room of the south wing, ate a black pill that Yang Yuqiu took out from her dream space, and immediately had a safe and smooth delivery, giving birth to a healthy baby boy!

The Yang family gave Lin, the midwife, a red envelope containing twenty yuan. They also brought back a pheasant, a rabbit, and ten catties of wild boar meat that Yang Zhannan had hunted, and on New Year's Eve, they delivered them home to Lin, who was walking through the snow.

Before we knew it, the New Year had arrived. The old lady was devastated by the sudden death of her eldest granddaughter and fell ill. It was only a few days ago, around the Lantern Festival, that she began to recover.

The old man was listless and couldn't muster the energy to celebrate the New Year. He used to be very healthy, but now he's starting to show signs of decline. He speaks and smokes his pipe with less strength.

The whole family celebrated another Lantern Festival together today, and then Yuqiu and Zou Jun's wedding date was set ahead of schedule for the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

A few days ago, railways and highways in various places outside the country resumed operation.

The Zou family's relatives from out of town arrived two days early. The banquet was held in their own house, and they had arranged for the male chef to be the same person who would be used for weddings and funerals in the countryside.

The wedding room was decorated before the heavy snow before the Lunar New Year. Today's wedding has spanned two years, before and after the Lunar New Year. This time, we are finally about to tie the knot!

The next morning, the Yang family compound was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers. Relatives and friends from near and far, as well as neighbors from neighboring villages, filled the courtyard to chat.

On the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-kang) in the west room of the south wing, a new, neatly laid-out bright red silk quilt with white floral patterns was placed, the red side facing up and the white side facing down.

Yang Yuqiu, the bride, is sitting on a red quilt, facing south through a glass window, getting ready for the wedding. She is known as "sitting in good fortune."

Beside him was a large iron basin with a red background and white double happiness characters. The basin was half full of cool water, with a few large red dates, two scallions, and one-cent, two-cent, and five-cent coins in it!

On the red quilt where Yuqiu was sitting, there was a round, upright mirror with a red plastic frame, a mahogany comb, a white soap, a red towel, a box of Qiuyue powder, and a bottle of Friendship brand snow cream.

Yang Yuhan stood behind Yuqiu and did her hair, leaving a few strands at the edges of her hair, then braiding most of the black hair in the middle of the back of her head into a three-strand braid and pinning it up with a black hair clip.

Next, take the few strands of hair left at the edge and braid them into a large basket shape. After the basket is finished, wrap it around the bun and pin it in place with black hairpins.

Then a string of red plastic flowers is pinned to the bride's forehead.

Then she put on the newly made red floral cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and red cotton shoes that her in-laws had sent over in advance.

The bride grabs lucky coins from a basin of water and transfers them into another basin with a red double happiness symbol. The more coins she grabs, the luckier she is.

Then, put a few large red dates into this bowl. The large red dates symbolize the early birth of a son. Also, put two large white scallions into the bowl. The scallions symbolize that the child born to the bride and groom will be fair-skinned and intelligent.

At this time, the Zou family's wedding procession, a red carriage adorned with large red flowers, was parked outside the gate. It had been waiting for a long time. The weather from the New Year to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month was much warmer than before the New Year.

Old Niu, the owner of the red carriage, was dressed neatly in his original homespun clothes and stood in place waiting to welcome the bride into the carriage.

Guests gathered around the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove) in the south wing of the house to watch her get dressed.
