Arrived at Niu Chao's home

  Xue Er slept until dawn. When she got up, she saw Zheng Shuang sleeping soundly and quietly tiptoed around without waking him.

  She finished washing and cooking, then Zheng Shuang got up.

  Zheng Shuang looked at Xue Er's face with a sweet smile and said, "I can hear your clear voice again."

  "Okay! But you can't tell anyone else for now, I only want to let you hear this voice." Xue Er said with a giggle.

  "Are you going to deceive others and face the world with two voices?" Zheng Shuang asked in puzzlement.

  "Hmm. You have to promise me!" Xue Er looked at Zheng Shuang with a coquettish tone, just like when she was a young girl.

  Zheng Shuang walked over and kissed Xue Er: "Alright, alright, I'll keep this secret for my baby."

  Xue Er burst out laughing happily.

  Zheng Shuang had breakfast and came to Cuihua's home.

  Cuihua saw Village King coming and hurriedly invited him in. Village King noticed that Cuihua had obviously lost weight.

  "Cuihua, don't keep thinking about him, the dead can't come back to life. The living must live a good life. I think, Da Ge is also thinking of you living well in another world." Zhai Wang's voice was low.

  "Thanks for your concern, Wang Zhai. I've gotten through it. It's nothing."

  "That's good, that's good."

  "Zhai Wang, I'll arrange my own life well. You didn't let me send Da Gu up the mountain that day. Actually, whether or not I sent him is the same, anyway, I absolutely won't remarry!" Cui Hua said firmly.

  "I didn't mean to stop you from sending Da Yu away. Actually, even if you did send him away, he could still remarry, secretly run off to a distant land and not hear the gossip of the villagers. If he secretly remarried, would anyone be able to go fetch you back? Isn't that so?"

  "That's also true."

  "It's the same principle. If you don't take her to the mountain, she herself won't agree to remarry, no one can force her. Now, who dares to rob a bride? You tell me?"

  "Hmm. What Village King said is all reasonable!" Cui Hua said with a expressionless face.

  "I'd like to hear your reasons for refusing to remarry. Can you tell me?" asked the village chief in a consultative tone.

  "There's no reason! You can go back!" Cuihua's tone was very firm.

  "I said I came today without advising you to remarry, why are you driving me away?" The village chief asked with a puzzled expression.

  "How can I know what you're thinking? You go!"

  "Alright, alright. Since you don't welcome me, I'll leave." The village chief said, standing up and walking out the door.

  Cuī Huā looked at the back of the bandit king and let out a deep sigh.

  The village chief went out of the door and didn't think about wandering around again, he directly returned home.

  Xue Er saw Zhai Wang return so early and smiled, asking: "You're back so soon!"

  "Thinking of you, so I hurried back."

  Xue Er saw Zheng Shuang smiling all over her face and asked: "It seems that Cui Hua's work has also been done?"

  "Where was she driven out by Cui Hua." Zheng Shuang said with a smile.

  "Driven out and still so happy?"

  "It was expected, what's there to be unhappy about? She didn't even care about her own home, I reckon she can't do her job properly." Zheng Shuang said with a smile.

  "Although you were driven out, you are still full of confidence!" Xue Er also laughed.

  "I am confident that I can definitely get the job done."

  "Zhai Wang, come to my house for a drink!" A voice came from outside the door.

  "Calf, you're just in time! He just came back and said a few words to me!" Xue Er's voice became hoarse again.

  "Haha, what a coincidence! Sorry about that, he just came back and I've taken him away from you again."

  "It's a good thing to invite him for a drink! Go on, go on!" Xue Er turned around and said to Zheng Shuang.

  Zheng Shuang looked at Xue Er in surprise.

  Xue Er knew he was amazed at her effortless change of voice.

  Xue'er leaned in, whispering into Zheng Shuang's ear: "Don't look so surprised, when you're not home, I often change my voice to talk, it comes naturally to me."

  Xue Er's voice became sweet and crisp again.

  "What are you whispering about?" asked Niu Da.

  "She reminded me not to get drunk." Zheng Shuang said with a smile.

  "Go!" Xue Er said.

  "Let's go, Niu Da," said Zhai Wang as he walked out the door.

  All the way, Village King thought about Xue Er's change in tone and didn't speak.

  "Zhai Wang, why don't you ask me what delicious food I've gotten to treat you?" Niu Jiao said.

  "What's delicious?"

  "I went to Monkey Rock early this morning to hit white rats, guess how many I hit? Four!" The calf said with a smile.

  "Really good! Have you all gone bald and had your bellies ripped open?"

  "I'll let Wangzi handle it."

  "Haha, I've got a great relationship with Wangzi now, we're like two soft marshmallows! We were fighting and ended up sticking together."

  "This is still not your King Zhao's benevolent and wise governance!"

  "Yes, the relationship between neighbors is important. If handled well, people will be much happier. If you run into each other outside and give each other the cold shoulder, your mood for the whole day will be ruined."

  "Yes, yes, yes. The relationship is better now and everyone is happy."

  The two of them chatted as they walked until they arrived at Niu Da's home.

  Wangzi, who was busy with the white mouse at the door, saw Zhai Wang coming and quickly stood up to greet him: "Zhai Wang is here! This afternoon I'll stir-fry this white mouse, add more Sichuan peppercorns, guaranteed to be both fragrant and spicy, just to your taste, Zhai Wang."

  "Haha, you're looking at me with a numb and excited expression! I love it when it's so spicy that my mouth is on fire, that's the only way to enjoy it! A great man once said, only those who are not afraid of spice can carry the revolution through to the end!"

  "Haha, a great man would never say something like that. He wants to unite all the people who can be united, this will hurt the hearts of those who don't eat spicy food. I think, nine out of ten, it's something you made up, Village Chief." Niu Chui said with a smile.

  "Am I not uniting a large group of people?" Village King retorted.

  "Unity, definitely unity. So this is what you're saying among people who are eating spicy food." Wangzi interrupted and said.

  "Alright! You two are so close that you can wear one pair of pants together, and now you're ganging up on me!" The village chief burst out laughing again.

  "I don't dare, I don't dare," said Niu Cui.

  "Wangzi said, "The two of us really joined together, and we still can't beat you.""

  "You three big men are really happy! Laughing and chatting here, like children quarreling. Niú chì, you didn't even invite Chief Wang to come in for tea, making him stand out here talking with you?" Xiao Qing walked out and said with a smile.

  "Alright, alright, Chief Bandit, you go in and have some tea. I'll take care of the White Mouse with Wangzi."

  Zhai Wang sat down in the house, and Xiao Qing brought tea over and placed it in front of him. "Zhai Wang, don't get drunk again today and make me call Xian Cai to help you back home! It's broad daylight, I'd be too embarrassed!"

  "Haha, you're really something! You're still laughing at us three for getting drunk that night!"

  "She's said it many times already, let her speak!" Niu Chai's voice came from outside.

  "That day if you got drunk, I would be so bold too, would you take advantage of me?" Little Qing said with a smile.

  The village chief looked at Xiaoying without speaking, and Xiaoying glanced outside the door: "You say! Such a loud voice can't be heard outside."

  "You this wild woman want to be really wild?" The bandit king's eyes shifted to Xiao Qing's open neckline.
