I used rebirth to bury his captivating gaze.

Chapter 84 Bonfire in the Courtyard (1 woman beats a sickly child with a kind-hearted in-law family;

Everyone in the compound joined in. This was the first winter bonfire party organized by Yu Han, with the aim of uniting good people and kindness from all walks of life in the compound, even though they are not all related by blood!

Women from two unfamiliar households in the courtyard also participated, while the men each had their own duties outside!

A young woman, frail and sickly since childhood, was cared for and treated by her husband's family after marriage. Her health improved, and she was able to participate in the bonfire party in the courtyard. She didn't participate in any physical activity, simply sitting on a wooden bench in front of her rented house. Her kind mother-in-law tried to comfort her, but instead, she joined in the fun!

The young and beautiful daughter-in-law of another household was dressed in a flamboyant and seductive manner, preparing to dance.

Neither of the men in these two households were home. The husband of the young wife in the first household, who was plain-looking, frail, and sickly, was middle-aged and unable to have children. He went down into the coal mine in the suburbs every day to earn money.

The latter, a beautiful young wife, works as a professional escort at a nightclub, while her husband goes out to indulge in debauchery, living off her and barely scraping by.

The other women chatted as they skewered lamb, while the men worked in the coal mine, tending the fire.

Everyone in the courtyard had gathered. The young and strong men set up a bonfire and lit it. After eating lamb skewers, they would have a bonfire party, holding hands and dancing.

Starting from the oldest in the compound, there are: Old Liu, Liu Xiulan, Liu Laoya and her husband, and Chen Lixia.

Yang Yuhan, and her mother Liu Shulan.

Zou Laqian and her husband Guo Zi, and their youngest son Guo Liangliang, and Zhu Yu and her husband Song Yi, a man with a criminal record, were released.

Zou Yunfang with her husband and daughter. Zhu Yanli with her husband Guo Hong and daughter.

Adding to the scene are the young wives from different husbands' families, the former sitting on a small wooden stool brought by her mother-in-law watching, and the latter first dancing around the campfire, as if releasing her inner bitterness through her snake dance! The discontent of life!

After the women finished making the lamb skewers, the men started grilling the lamb skewers over the charcoal fire on the grill. They grilled them to about 70-80% doneness for the younger people and to about 90% doneness for the older people.

As people get older, there's Old Liu, Liu Xiulan, Liu Shulan, and "Emma" (two Lans).

Liu Shulan looked around the courtyard and saw that everyone was there except for Yu Mei. She didn't know where Yu Mei and the man had moved to.

She asked Old Liu, Liu Xiulan, and Chen Lixia, and they all said they didn't know. She didn't know if they really didn't know or if they were pretending not to know.

Yu Mei suddenly met her, and then immediately parted ways with her.

Yu Mei suddenly said goodbye to herself and left the courtyard. It was all because of her second aunt's arrival that Yu Mei would have been at the bonfire party, where she would have enjoyed a delicious and fragrant lamb skewer feast. Instead, she didn't get to have fun and relieve stress.

With Yu Mei suddenly moving away, how will Liu Shulan explain this to Diao Yan, who is eagerly waiting for her?

The day she and Yu Han moved here, in the Yang family compound in the countryside, Diao Yan repeatedly told her to help Diao Yan find Yu Mei and take care of her! She readily agreed at first! She happened to see Yu Mei living in this compound when she arrived in the city.

Then she started to laugh and immediately called to tell Diao Yan, who was at home in the countryside, the good news, but suddenly Yu Mei disappeared!

The people in the compound started eating lamb skewers. Old Liu carried out a large, loose white plastic bucket of 60-proof liquor that his wife, Liu Xiulan, had kept halfway through their journey, and offered it to those who knew how to drink.

None of the men in the compound who knew how to drink were there, and most of the others didn't drink baijiu (Chinese liquor). Only Liu Xiulan, Old Liu, Zou Laxian, and Zhu Yu drank it.

The sick daughter-in-law's mother-in-law brought her two skewers, which the daughter-in-law accepted with a smile. The mother-in-law told her to eat slowly, and the daughter-in-law smiled back at her.

Meanwhile, the kind-hearted mother-in-law handed two skewers to the other woman who was doing the snake dance. The snake dancer stopped dancing, and she took the two skewers of lamb. Her mother-in-law nodded to her, and she began to smack her lips and swallow the meat in large gulps, finishing it in a moment.

Everyone else ate in a civilized manner.

After eating, they wiped their mouths and hands, and then the young people held hands and circled the edge of the blazing bonfire, twisting their bodies in different ways.

As people get older, they stand aside and watch the excitement.

Zou Laxian, with her hooked nose, jumped like a yellow hen or a cunning fox. Especially since she was wearing her original red, shimmering, scale-patterned long cotton coat, she was practically a chicken-fox.

Her outward appearance is ugly and shameful, but deep down she is incredibly ugly and repulsive. Only Yu Han, who has special abilities, can see through everything about Zou Laxian!

Zou Laqian has been quite busy lately, spending her days hooking up with her good friend Zhu Yu. Luckily, they are both women, so they are practically lesbians.

Zou Laqian and Zhu Yu jointly opened a marriage agency with a storefront on the street. The signboard read, "Those destined to meet will find each other even from a thousand miles away."

The marriage agency run by these two people was doing quite well; the women they introduced would soon disappear without a trace.

Then the woman's family went to the police station to file a report with Director Liu Cheng, and launched a massive manhunt to find her.

Liu Cheng, the head of the new police station in the street, has been searching for Zou Laqian for more than half a year, but has not found any clues or evidence of her.

The bonfire in the rented courtyard at night was so bright, and the atmosphere was so harmonious and peaceful!

Even after drinking, Zou Laqian, the fox spirit, remained deathly pale, almost revealing her true nature. Then, Zhu Yu, in cahoots with her, nudged her, causing her to release the glass of liquor. Suddenly, she slammed the empty glass onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Then Zou Laqian stood up, her face contorted with a red and white hooked nose, and began to curse indiscriminately, looking up at the sky, "I introduced your Chen family's young man to a girlfriend in my hometown village, helping you get that beautiful Yu Mei. I knew about your family's financial situation long ago. Your young man didn't have a job. He used to work for the Second Construction Company, but he's long gone now. Moreover, he fell from the fifth floor while he was on the construction team. There were no safety measures in place. He's lucky to be alive and deserves to have such a beautiful wife. Isn't it all thanks to me? Now your Chen family is acting innocent after getting the benefit, ignoring me. Chen Lixin and Yang Yu Mei secretly moved out of the compound without even telling me. What did I gain? Just for a few ounces of liquor?"

"Alright, Sister Laqian, stop talking."

"Zhu Yu, don't stop me! I haven't finished yet. I originally had my eye on Chen Lixin. He's handsome and has a good temper. I was thinking of introducing him to my brother, Zou Yunfang. But then I thought, you can't marry someone just because of their looks. The key is their ability to manage a household. Otherwise, my brother, who is my second niece Zou Yunfang's father, would definitely scold me. How could I go back and ruin the happiness of my family's daughters for life!"

Her words immediately caused the two people in the rental compound who had stopped moving—Liu Xiulan and Liu Shulan—to rush forward!

After drinking, Liu Xiulan's face was flushed. She cursed Zou Laqian, "You deserve it. You were willing to introduce someone to my son, but did I ask you to? Did I ask you to introduce someone to my son? It's because you have feelings for my Lixin. You like him, but you can't have him, so you introduced innocent Yumei to my son. You even helped us write a letter saying that Yang Yumei is my pregnant and beautiful daughter-in-law."

"Old woman, you're right. She's such a swindler. She helped us come up with bad ideas to cheat Yu Mei out of her travel expenses home, and even lent you change for playing mahjong. She's vicious and wants us to repay her? What kind of person is she?"

Zou Laqian's husband, Da Guozi, worked unloading goods at the train station to make a living. Da Guozi often scolded her, accusing her of harming a young woman named Yang Yumei.

Then, Liu Shulan and Liu Xiulan ganged up on Zou Laxian, making him see stars. Zhu Yu hurriedly tried to break up the fight, but she didn't dare to stand in for him. Yu Han was afraid that someone would hurt her mother, Liu Shulan, so she rushed over to take sides.

She shoved Zou Laxian three meters away onto the ground, and Zou Laxian immediately screamed in pain, almost revealing her true form!

Zhu Yu was about to help Zou pull the rope when Yu Han glared at her and said fiercely, "Zhu Yu, don't think I don't know your background. You married a man with a criminal record who was released from prison and is now a murderer. It seems you're not exactly a saint yourself!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu was furious. She immediately suppressed her anger and decided to go back to her room and wait for her husband to come home from get off work so she could get a divorce!

Her wait turned into waiting, only to find that her husband had died in a mining accident!

She ran off with another man, taking with her the over 100,000 yuan compensation the man had won from the mine, fearing her mother-in-law would demand the compensation.

Soon after, news came from the police station that Zhu Yu had been murdered by this wild man for money, and had died six months earlier.
