Chapter 3: The Stuttering Sister Yin Mingyue

Outside the house, on the porch, old carpenter Yin was holding a pipe in his hand and smoking it non-stop with his butt sticking out.

But it was difficult to hide the nervousness in his heart.

He had been an honest man all his life and asked himself whether he had done anything immoral. Unfortunately, God only gave him two daughters without penises. The old woman in the house also suffered from the injury she suffered when giving birth to twins and could not have any more children even if she wanted to.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no one is the greatest.

In his stubborn eyes, having a daughter alone could not prove that his bloodline was not cut off. He had to find a son-in-law, have a boy, and change the surname to Yin, so that he could inherit the Yin family's bloodline.

It’s a pity that the eldest girl is so stubborn. She insists on studying even though she is a girl. You can study if you want, but you can’t get into any university. Even the county magistrate was alarmed and sent someone to her home to persuade her.

Oh my god.

He was a carpenter, and even three generations before him were still carpenters. How could he have ever seen such a scene? With the eldest girl encouraging him, the woman in the room also took advantage of the situation to add fuel to the fire.

He nodded in confusion, and today he has to make a decision that goes against his ancestors.

To pit the apprentice.

But what else can we do if we don’t want to cheat?
Do I really want that girl to hate me for the rest of her life?
Old man Yin is not stupid, but he is very shrewd. Is it possible for ordinary people to get into Capital University? His son has made great achievements, and his ancestors' graves are full of smoke. Even if he delays himself, he cannot delay his son!
And there is the youngest girl. She has been a sickly child since she was young. From the day she was born, all her nutrition went to her older sister. She looked like a kitten. She did not develop well inside the mother's womb and was difficult to raise. As expected, when she grew up, she suffered from such a severe stutter.

A good girl will never have trouble finding a husband.

But the girl had a serious stutter, so it was difficult for her to marry into a good family. Old Man Yin couldn't bear to let her marry into a family with a similar problem, as she would have to endure hardships.

But if I could find a good son-in-law who could help me at home, that would be great.

Cheating an apprentice.

If it can solve these two major problems for him, it cannot be said whether it is a loss or not.

But Old Man Yin felt very upset. His apprentice Lu Yang had been learning carpentry from him since he dropped out of junior high school. His father died early, and his parents left him to marry far away. He was just a beggar. If he hadn't felt sorry for him and taught him carpentry, would he have been as respectable as he is now?

motherfucker.

Idiot.

Old man Yin muttered something in his heart and banged the pipe in his hand on the ground.

He made up his mind and prepared to get up and go into the house.

"Master's wife, let's be frank. I know your motives today very well. I have been waiting for this day ever since Sister Mingzhu was admitted to Capital University."

"I am not worthy of her."

"Master's wife, you have also changed your mind. You don't plan to let her marry me again, right?"

Just as Old Man Yin was about to enter the house.

Lu Yang's barrage of questions came from inside the room.

"fart."

"You little bastard, you are rebelling"

Old Man Yin subconsciously wanted to yell as usual, but then he realized that he was guilty, so he simply hid behind the door and pricked up his ears to listen. "Who did you say regretted the engagement?"

"Our Mingzhu is well-educated and well-mannered. How could she be such a person? It was you, a little bastard, who did something wrong to our Mingzhu first. Look at you now, you little bastard. You still don't know how to let go and you want to turn the tables, right?"

The master's wife is not a vegetarian either.

She is the most aggressive person in the surrounding area, otherwise she would not be able to subdue Old Man Yin, a carpenter who inherited his family's craft. He is a wealthy family in the village. First of all, she is better at seizing opportunities than ordinary rural women. Seeing that Lu Yang had seen through her conspiracy, she was not panicked at all. Even if today's matter is exposed, Lu Yang, the little bastard, must take responsibility.

The eldest daughter will never have trouble finding a husband.

But my youngest daughter is worried about getting married!

She risked her life today and used a little trick to block the two of them in a room. The little bastard drank too much at noon, but her silly daughter didn't drink too much. She must be willing to do so, otherwise, a single man and a single woman would have asked her to take care of her brother-in-law, and they wouldn't even hold hands. Now that she's caught red-handed, how can she not marry him?
"Master's Wife, if you say so, you must put the blame on me, right? Then you should first ask your good daughter Mingzhu if she has even bought the ticket to the north. If she really wants to marry me, would she not discuss such an important matter with me first?"

Lu Yang retorted and questioned.

Today, everything has been said so much, and he is not going to take the blame again.

Ma Xiulan turned around and looked at her eldest daughter: "Girl, isn't it still early for school to start? Have you even bought the train tickets?"

It seems that Yin Mingzhu has even kept it a secret from her parents.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yin Mingzhu's face.

I didn't tell anyone about my secret purchase of the ticket. The only possibility is that my younger sister was sleeping next to me when I was hiding the ticket on my way home last night. Could it be that I was pretending to be asleep on purpose so that she would find out about my hiding of the ticket?
Silly sister, they haven't even gotten married yet and you're already helping him.

Yin Mingzhu's expression remained unchanged, and she pretended to be calm and said, "What ticket? I didn't have one. Are you trying to wrongly accuse me, Lu Yang?"

She still wanted to deny it.

Lu Yang pointed at the big red mandarin duck pillow on the bedside and said with a sneer, "You want to search it? Then tear it apart. I'm afraid it won't look good if it's torn apart."

Yin Mingzhu's face immediately became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

She became more and more certain that she was right. Her younger sister must have seen it last night. She was the one who told this guy that she had hidden the train ticket inside the pair of mandarin duck pillows. She had wanted to wait until the dust settled before taking it out, but now it seemed that there was no way to resolve the matter peacefully.

Without further ado, she rushed over and hugged the pillow in her arms.

Ma Xiulan also reacted and said in a lost voice: "Mingzhu girl, oh, what can mother say about you?"

Finally, she realized that what Lu Yang said was probably true. Even the train tickets had been bought. It seemed that this damn girl didn't even trust her parents. She only wanted to leave this home and go to school in the capital. If she was forced to get married, she would dare to run away from home.

I felt both distressed and anxious at the same time.

Yin Mingzhu turned a deaf ear to him and just looked down at the mandarin duck pillow in her arms, until she found a neatly folded train ticket on the back of the pillow where there was only a little finger's width of unsewn material.

He opened it again and took a closer look to make sure it was his ticket and it was not lost. He was so excited that he could not help but kiss it several times. Then he let out a long breath from the depths of his throat, raised his head with tears in his eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes stubbornly, looked at everyone with a smile that was uglier than crying and said:

"Mom, little sister, and you, Lu Yang, you all have seen it. Yes, I have already bought the ticket, and I am not afraid to tell you that the date of this ticket is tomorrow. Even if you tie me up here, I will crawl to the station tomorrow and leave this home and all of you without hesitation. I have had enough of staying in this ignorant and feudal hellhole."
