C1 All over Again

The cold wind blows in the evening. The north-west wind was blowing, but the atmosphere in the Zhan family's earthen room was lively.

The roof was only covered with grass that was pressed by stones. The moment the wind blew, the fence yard was in a mess.

However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the villagers at the banquet.

Other than rich families holding banquets, the poor families would pull the bride with a red veil back home in a donkey cart.

The Zhan family was famous for being poor in Linshui Village. Old Madam Zhan also had the temper of not letting go of a single penny and eighteen punches. She did not expect Zhan Yunxiao to set up two tables for his wedding today. There was actually a big piece of pork with oil on the table.

Everyone who came to eat the feast was very happy. Even the soup was wiped clean with a steamed bun!

"Ah -"

In the innermost room of the earthen house, the red color that was about to turn white was replaced by a cover. The bride moved her eyelids and suddenly opened her eyes in horror and cried out in alarm. However, her cry was completely covered by the liveliness outside.

Fu Nanzhu rolled her eyes a few times and her hands trembled as she touched her neck twice. She panted heavily, "I, I am not dead..."

Before this, the civil officials of the court had worked together to impeach the famous general of the current dynasty, Zhan Yunxiao. She had stolen a brocade pouch containing evidence that could kill Zhan Yunxiao. She wanted to send it to Zhan Yunxiao to make up for her debt to him, but she met bandits on the road. Not only did she take the brocade pouch, but she also took her life.

Of course, she had not let the bandit off easily. She had risked her life to bite off his thigh.

Fu Nanzhu's mind was a little muddled. She slowly sat up and looked around the house with her apricot-shaped eyes. She felt very familiar.

Her pupils suddenly dilated and she suddenly remembered - this was the wedding room she had with Zhan Yunxiao ten years ago.

A gust of wind blew, and some mud and dust fell off the wall. The Zhan family couldn't afford red candles, so they wrapped a pair of white candles with red paper. At this moment, the candles were dripping with tears.

All the things overlapped with what she remembered. Fu Nanzhu was also stunned.

"They are even cleaner than dogs. They must have sent the best food at home." The noise outside gradually faded and came from the younger sister of the Zhan family, Zhan Ling'er, who was full of complaints.

"Today is a good day. Don't talk nonsense. Your brother has become a family. Your father's spirit in heaven is also gratified." The strict and aged voice reprimanded Zhan Ling'er, and then said to tonight's main character, "Yunxiao doesn't need you to clean up here, go and accompany your wife."

"En."

The familiar voice came from the man in her previous life, Zhan Yunxiao, who allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

Fu Nanzhu's heart was in turmoil. Liu Yemei also unconsciously knitted her brows. All of this matched her guess. She returned to the day she married Zhan Yunxiao ten years ago.

That familiar figure appeared in front of the door. Fu Nanzhu felt as if her throat was blocked. The hot breath coming out of her mouth condensed into white fog. Her eyes became increasingly red.

The flickering light of the candle landed on Zhan Yunxiao's face. His tall nose left a small shadow on his face. His thin lips were slightly pursed. His slightly sunken eyes made his facial features look even more three-dimensional. His face was undoubtedly eye-catching among the farmers.

Zhan Yunxiao stared intently at Fu Nanzhu's face and his sword-like brows knitted together.

His starry black eyes reflected Fu Nanzhu's pale little face. It looked very wronged. He heard his mother say that she had been crying in the room just now.

Zhan Yunxiao clenched his fists. His long black hair like the feathers of a crow covered the light in his black eyes. "If you don't want to marry me," he said. Tomorrow I will send you back, and we will marry each other."

It was the same excuse as her previous life. Fu Nanzhu smiled. In her previous life, she swallowed it on her wedding night. The Zhan family was thrown into chaos because of the rat poison in the hole in the wall.

In this life, she dug out the rat medicine in the hole in the wall and threw it into the night fragrance pot.

"I want to marry you, of course I want to marry you." Fu Nanzhu's slightly moist eyes sparkled. She looked very sincere and her tone was a little urgent. She did not have the shyness of a young girl at all.

Zhan Yunxiao's sword-like brows twitched twice. He could not help but doubt whether her words were true or not. He sat on the bench and silently looked at the slightly bumpy and firm surface of the ground.

Not long after, Old Madam Zhan knocked on the door a few times and brought in a bowl of white noodles.

Old Madam Zhan was not well all year round and did not have much meat on her face. She usually looked indifferent when she did not smile. Now that she had a kind smile on her face, it shook Fu Nanzhu's eyes.

So Granny also wanted her to have such a good side. It was a pity that in her previous life, she ate rat poison and committed suicide as soon as she entered the house. She had embarrassed the Zhan family and offended everyone in the family.

"I've troubled you for this day. Eat some noodles to fill your stomach." Old Madam Zhan looked at Fu Nanzhu's red lips, white teeth, and tender skin. She was very satisfied. However, when she thought that this new wife was the only daughter at home, she felt a headache. She was afraid that this new wife would be spoiled by her parents and would not be able to lead a good life.

She then continued to beat her head a few more times, "Marrying into our old Zhan family is a person of our old Zhan family. No matter how much you miss your parents, don't shed tears. If you cry carefully, it will spoil your eyes."

"Yes, thank you, mother."

"After finishing the dishes, leave them in the room. It won't be too tight."

Old Madam Zhan saw Fu Nanzhu holding the bowl with both hands and saying good words. She knew that this wife understood etiquette and was immediately more satisfied. When they left, she even closed the door and told them to rest early.

There was nothing important in the house. It was just a bench that Zhan Yunxiao was sitting on. Fu Nanzhu sat next to him. When she noticed that the man beside her had even tightened his legs, Fu Nanzhu lowered her head and revealed a faint smile.

Fu Nanzhu was determined that this time she would not be as stupid as she was in her previous life.

She clenched her chopsticks and took small bites of the white noodles. This was a rare good thing in the village. There was a tender water egg under the noodles. The Zhan family probably took out the last bit of good stuff in the house.

"Brother Zhan, I can't eat anymore." Fu Nanzhu nudged the man beside her. Her apricot-colored eyes stared at him. The remaining half a bowl of noodles was taken by Zhan Yunxiao.

In his previous life, Zhan Yunxiao would also eat the rest of his food, but she, who was filled with other men, turned a deaf ear to him. She even did something like eloping after Zhan Yunxiao went to the army. Now that she thought about it, Fu Nanzhu really wanted to give herself a slap in the ear.

While she was shaking her head, Zhan Yunxiao had already finished his meal.

"It's night. Go to sleep." Fu Nanzhu was not a sixteen year old girl. She even had some expectations in her heart. She took off her coat and laid down on the bed. She buried her head in the blanket that was filled with soap.

Zhan Yunxiao then walked to the bed and took off his clothes with a rustling sound. He also crawled into the bed together. Who knew that he would actually close his eyes and pretend to sleep. He did not take any further actions.

In his previous life, they were rare even in bed. Usually, Fu Nanzhu would hold a pair of scissors against her delicate neck and threaten him with death. Zhan Yunxiao did not have any improper thoughts. Later on, he forced Zhan Yunxiao to sleep on the floor. Later on, he slept in Old Madam Zhan's room while Old Madam Zhan went to the same room with Zhan Ling'er.

Looking at the scene in front of her, Fu Nanzhu did not feel good. She reached out a small hand from under the covers and pushed Zhan Yunxiao's shoulder, "Brother Zhan, we..."
