Chapter 889 The man I want to marry is Old Chen 2
Seeing this, the other guys laughed and chatted as they walked back.
After Zhou Peng returned, he told Bai Song about the women's situation.
I also mentioned sending some extra bedding to the women.
Bai Song did not object to this.
Anything of decent quality that they plundered was quickly divided up by their men.
What's left now is so dirty and broken that it's unusable.
If those women could be cleaned up and put to use, that would be fine too.
Time flew by, and three or four days passed.
The group of women were settled in the east courtyard.
They cleaned up the dilapidated east courtyard, borrowed ladders from the soldiers, and repaired the broken tiles.
And so, they settled in.
However, they were not proper residents of the village.
Whether it was the soldiers' conditions for them to come in, or the fact that they had to pick up their old ways of making a living in order to survive, they were left with no choice but to continue.
Ruyue led a group of women in a discussion for a while and decided to embrace their new life with a completely new look.
They borrowed firewood from the soldiers and then washed and dressed themselves again.
Because of the cold weather, they couldn't wash their clothes, so they could only rub the outer fabric with snow.
Many fashion-conscious people even cut their previously bright clothes into small strips and made them into brightly colored silk flowers to wear on their heads.
After tidying up, everyone looked brand new.
Those who could stay in the building before were not bad-looking.
However, after being hungry for so long and exposed to wind and sun, his appearance is not as good as before.
However, for soldiers who have been vegetarian for so long...
These women look quite good after they've dressed up.
Some soldiers even sneaked over that very day.
Ruyue didn't agree immediately. She coaxed him gently and asked the soldier to invite Baisong over.
The two talked inside for a while, but it's unclear what they discussed.
Finally, Bai Song told the soldiers that each soldier coming to the East Courtyard should bring at least one steamed bun.
If they are willing to give more, then it is their own choice.
At the same time, Bai Song also made a three-point agreement with Ru Yue and the others.
Normally, four soldiers would guard the entrance to the east courtyard.
Unless absolutely necessary, one should not leave the courtyard.
In addition, nine of these women had to go out every day to help the soldiers cook.
On the day the rules were set, many soldiers went to the East Courtyard.
Upon returning, he proudly boasted to his other brothers.
From then on, the word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
Thus, the East Courtyard became completely lively.
These days, many soldiers go there every day.
The village, which had been calm and still like stagnant water, suddenly came alive.
Even when the soldiers were on duty, they had more smiles on their faces.
Although, every time they go there, they have to go hungry for one meal.
But everyone's emotions are different from before.
When the villagers stood guard alongside the soldiers, they heard them boasting, and several men became interested in doing the same.
These men all belonged to families that didn't have much grain.
But they were considered relatively well-off in the village; if the family ate frugally, they could make it until spring.
When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang went to their post, they encountered soldiers on duty.
They all urged the two of them to go play in the east courtyard.
After Lu Qingqing refused, the soldiers, seeing that the two of them really didn't mean it, didn't say anything more.
That day, Bai Song came to the courtyard as usual to freeload a meal.
During the meal, something came up in the conversation.
It turns out that Chen Lao Er, the one who makes beggar's chicken, is going to marry Xu Er Niu, one of the women in the East Courtyard.
The two somehow fell in love and decided to get married tomorrow.
Although it's called a wedding, these days they don't even set up a banquet table.
It simply means that the newlyweds offer a bowl of tea to their relatives and friends.
They didn't even intend to let the villagers know.
Because Lu Qingqing had previously asked Chen Lao Er how to make beggar's chicken, the two were already acquainted.
After hearing this, Lu Qingqing decided to go there tomorrow as well.
Sending a congratulatory gift is a small token of her appreciation.
During the meal, a soldier suddenly reported that some villagers in the east courtyard were causing a disturbance.
The two sides were about to use weapons, so he was urged to go and take a look.
Bai Song glanced at the juicy dishes on the table, cursed under his breath, and hurriedly put on his shoes and left.
At the entrance of the east courtyard, five or six men from the village were confronting several soldiers on duty.
Standing between them were Xu Erniu, whom Bai Song had just mentioned, who was about to get married, and Ruyue.
Opposite the two was Sun Chengfu, who looked furious.
Sun Chengfu is Sun Chengkun's cousin; the two are cousins.
This man is the son of Ninth Uncle, and he has many cousins in the village.
At this moment, Sun Chengfu glared angrily at Xu Erniu.
"If he can do it, why can't I!"
What, you brothels are discriminating against people?
"I'm not a soldier, I don't have any weapons, so you won't let me in?"
Xu Erniu's face turned red with anger.
"I already told you, I'm not taking customers anymore."
Sun Chengfu scoffed.
"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for?"
I heard from Dagen that the women here...
Each time it was a small steamed bun the size of a palm.
When he came over, he could choose whatever he wanted.
Why is it that when it comes to me, I can't even choose you?!
At this moment, Ruyue looked at the increasingly chaotic scene and her expression became solemn.
"Brother, I told you this before."
Erniu has reformed and will no longer solicit customers.
There are so many other girls in the courtyard, why make things difficult for her?
Sun Chengfu sneered.
"Pah, what a joke."
I know your situation perfectly well.
They came without bringing anything with them; they're just living off us.
Without our support, they would have starved to death long ago.
Those who always spend money are the bosses; I'm here to have fun, so naturally I get to choose you guys.
When will it be your turn to pick me?
And to talk about reforming oneself? What a joke.
Which cuckold would marry her?!
If so, tell me who it is.
Tell me, I want to ask him if it's true!
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' expressions changed.
They all knew that Chen Lao Er was going to marry Xu Er Niu, and they also had a good relationship with Chen Lao Er.
Hearing that he had been humiliated like this, he immediately drew his long knife.
Seeing this, Sun Chengfu also became wary, but showed no intention of retreating.
Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Xu Erniu's heart jumped.
She knew she couldn't let the two sides start fighting.
If a fight really breaks out, she will be harming the women in the ward.
She hadn't wanted to go public with it before because she didn't want Chen Lao Er to be ridiculed by the villagers.
Now, I have no choice but to speak out.
Her face flushed red, and she shouted at Sun Chengfu:
"I want to marry Chen Lao Er!"
When Sun Chengfu heard the name, he thought about it for a moment, but couldn't quite place it.
Normally, they would only be together with the soldiers during their shifts.
At other times, we don't have much contact.
Chen Lao Er has no outstanding qualities other than his culinary skills.
"You're not just trying to fool me by calling out some random name, are you?"
At this moment, Chen Lao Er, who had received the news, rushed over and happened to hear this.
Seeing that the usually honest Xu Erniu had been driven to tears and had shown a rare temper, it was surprising to see her.
"I am Chen Lao Er!"
If you have any questions, just come to me.
"Making things difficult for a woman, what kind of skill is that!"
