Chapter 1048 A Gang

The couple returned to the fishing village late at night, and from a distance, Lin Yuesha noticed something was amiss.

At this hour on ordinary days, the fishing village is quiet, but today, instead of sleeping, everyone lit a bonfire on the flat ground and sang and danced.

"The young general and his wife are back!"

Someone shouted first, followed by cheers.

The couple looked at each other, suspecting that the other had prepared a surprise for them. But when they got closer, they realized that the craftsmen had planned it all along and wanted to invite them to a meal.

Having finally found an opportunity for Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha to leave the fishing village, everyone busied themselves in an orderly manner.

As evening fell, the group created a festive atmosphere by lighting a bonfire on the beach, waiting for Qi Heng and Lin Yuesha to return.

"Are you treating us to a meal?"

Lin Yuesha looked into the shed; the vegetables were already in the pot, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys, filling the air with a strong sense of cooking.

Lin Yuesha was completely unaware of everyone's arrangements.

"Young Madam, our skills are not very good, but we have good intentions in our work."

Zhao's words came from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for Lin Yuesha and the fishing village, she would still be working like a slave in the Tian family, looked down upon because she had no children.

Old Mrs. Tian didn't treat her like a human being at all, and since she had no family or support, she couldn't escape her cage anytime soon.

Now, although Zhao is very busy in the fishing village, he lives a peaceful life. Everyone gets along like family, understanding and friendly with each other.

When she married Tian Dali, few people gossiped about her; on the contrary, they understood her hardships.

As she spoke, Zhao bowed to Lin Yuesha and expressed her gratitude to everyone.

There were some things that Zhao had wanted to say for a long time, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Today, to warm herself up, she drank some fruit wine to bolster her courage and opened up about her feelings.

"Yes, the fishing village is a really nice place."

Liu the locksmith's eyes reddened; he was the one who felt it most deeply.

His wife had a premature and difficult labor. He originally thought that he should save the mother rather than the child, and that it would be good enough if his wife could live.

Xiao Anning was born at eight months old. She was said to be alive at seven months and not alive at eight months. When the doctors in the city heard about this, they refused to make house calls. Liu the locksmith did not dare to have any hope at all.

Looking at his frail daughter, who was as thin as a kitten, Liu the locksmith felt both guilty and heartbroken, as well as a deep sense of powerlessness. With his skills, he could only accept his fate.

Lin Yuesha and Doctor Yan did not give up. They worked tirelessly for more than a month for Xiao Anning, saving the mother and daughter, as well as the entire family of three.

Liu, the locksmith, was clumsy with words and couldn't say anything nice, so he simply knelt down and kowtowed; he had no choice but to do so.

As soon as Liu the locksmith finished speaking, Xie Guangping quickly chimed in.

The little rabbit is quite a few years old and has never felt so carefree. Its parents see this and are deeply grateful.

In private, when everyone gathered together, Xie Guangping realized that he was too insignificant and could do too little. He had no other skills, so he worked hard to repay the young mistress's great kindness.

"It is fate that we all gathered in the fishing village and met each other."

Everyone rushed to express their gratitude. Lin Yuesha was so flattered that she felt dizzy and disoriented, but upon reflection, she realized she hadn't done much.

The atmosphere in the fishing village was wonderful. There were no conflicts of interest, no scheming against each other, and people lived in harmony, helping one another – something rarely seen even among family members.

Admittedly, human selfishness is unavoidable. As long as we stay on principle and try to see things from other people's perspectives, the harmonious atmosphere of the fishing village will not change.

"The feast is about to begin. We are honored to have been treated to such hospitality by the young general and his wife. Let us toast them both!"

Carpenter Lu led Zhang Daya to the front, and Lin Yuesha, seeing this, also raised her wine glass.

Round and round, unable to resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, Lin Yuesha drank wine, still feeling a little dizzy.

Seeing this, the craftsmen wisely refrained from urging him to drink more, and instead offered words of blessing and gratitude.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the revelry continued until late at night, when Qi Heng helped Lin Yuesha to the courtyard.

"My lady, you should go wash up first."

Qi Heng poured hot water into the bathtub, tested the temperature, found Lin Yuesha a change of clothes, and then waited in the outer room.

Lin Yuesha's eyes were dazed, and her reaction was slow, somewhat sluggish.

It took her quite a while to remember what she was supposed to do after entering the washroom. She took off her outer garment, stepped onto a small stool, and entered the bathtub.

As her skin immersed in the warm water, Lin Yuesha squinted comfortably. The temperature was just right, and she quickly broke out in a light sweat.

"Wife, are you alright on your own? Do you need me to help you scrub your back?"

Qi Heng asked.

"No need, no need!"

On the shelf next to her were bath beans and perfume. Lin Yuesha used the bath beans to wash her hair, then yawned and declined.

Outside, Qi Heng wiped his forehead with a handkerchief. There was no such thing as Liu Xiahui. If a man didn't react to a woman he admired, it only meant he was impotent.

To control himself, Qi Heng picked up a book to read, but he was restless and couldn't read even half a page in half an hour.

No one knows what he is thinking. He feels panicked in the face of the unknown yet inevitable.

Lying is unacceptable, Qi Heng thought bitterly.

When Qi Heng regained some consciousness, he realized that Lin Yuesha had been inside for quite some time.

"Wife?"

Qi Heng called out softly, but after a moment, there was no response.

Now he was anxious and quickly stood up and ran to the washroom.

Lin Yuesha lay on the edge of the bathtub, her face flushed from the alcohol. She was breathing lightly and sleeping soundly.

Qi Heng touched the water; it was almost cold.

His wife was naked, revealing her smooth back. Qi Heng disregarded etiquette and quickly carried Lin Yuesha out in his arms, wiping her body with a dry cloth. He closed his eyes, unable to bear looking.

It's not that I'm a gentleman, but rather that seeing this makes me feel even worse.

After finally managing to wring out Lin Yuesha's hair, he carried her to the bed. Lin Yuesha let out a soft moan, drooling, and wiped herself with Qi Heng's clothes.

The little girl had no idea how attractive she was; Qi Heng was about to explode with excitement.

In her dream, Lin Yuesha was eating a roasted chicken leg when she realized someone was trying to take it away from her. Unwilling to accept this, Lin Yuesha tried to snatch the chicken leg back.

As a result, a row of handprints was left on the back of Qi Heng's hand.

He was surprised to find that his wife bit him in her sleep, and was still so restless even when she was sound asleep!

Qi Heng sighed helplessly and sat on a chair in the outer room, lost in thought.

What needs to be faced will have to be faced sooner or later, so it's better to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

What if his wife doesn't forgive him?

Qi Heng's mind, usually full of schemes, was now completely blank. All he could think of was acting like a shrew, crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

Thinking of the group of people he had dragged into this mess, Qi Heng felt a little comforted.

When everyone learned the truth, no one told Lin Yuesha that he was the main culprit and the others were accomplices; they were all in cahoots.

With no objections from her parents, the matter was largely settled.

Qi Heng analyzed that, being in a position of power, his advantages were obvious.

By continuing to deceive Yuwen Kun with Miaoyin's voice and causing trouble for his rival Ziyuan, they can ensure that no one can have designs on his wife.
