Leng Lie's eyes lit up. "How come I didn't think of that?"
The rumor that Hu Youju's sister-in-law was sold was only circulating among the villagers.
Because she hurt her brother and sister-in-law's feelings, no one stood up for her anymore.
If it is verified that she was indeed sold, perhaps the abduction of Hu Youju's daughter can also be investigated.
"However, Hu Youju's neighbor's daughter has a very good relationship with their village party secretary's family."
He was practically raised by the village secretary's nephew...
Leng Lie frowned and thought for a moment, then sneered, "I've been spending too much time with you, so I tend to think the best of people."
Such a scoundrel, who would even sell the woman he liked, what does neighborly affection matter to him?
"I'll check again tomorrow."
Guan Yuxi leaned against the headboard, looking at him with eyes as clear as water.
"Are you asleep?"
Leng Lie bit through the thread and tied a knot.
She put on another one and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll finish making this garment for you."
The lights here are quite bright.
The lights used for the guests were electric, which was naturally different from the kerosene lamps used at home.
Leng Lie naturally didn't want to miss this good opportunity to do needlework.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
In other families, she weaves cloth while he tills the fields, and he carries water while she waters the garden.
Their family is doing well.
He took care of everything.
As a wife, she's practically lost all sense of self-worth.
"Can't sleep? I'll come and keep you company in bed."
Leng Lie stood up, took a long stride, and sat down next to her.
Guan Yuxi wrapped her arms around his waist, and her hands moved inappropriately toward his chest.
Leng Lie took a deep breath, his hand trembled, and the needle pricked his hand.
He tore off the paper and pressed it down, saying helplessly, "Who said that doing useless work is worse than not doing it at all?"
She tried to pull her head away from his shoulder, but Leng Lie pressed it down firmly. "It's fine, just like that."
"But you're bleeding."
Guan Yuxi secretly regretted that she not only couldn't help, but she also dragged her down!
However, she didn't know he was so easily charmed.
"What's this little bit of blood? It's nothing compared to what you have."
Leng Lie calmly threw the paper into the trash can, then picked up the needle and continued.
Guan Yuxi: "......"
How is he compared to her?
Well, it seems like everything else is more than this amount of bleeding.
"Let's sew it during the day. This light isn't very bright, and it'll hurt your eyes."
She made conversation out of nothing.
Leng Lie glanced at her indifferently, "Are you still thinking that now that the garment factory is open, you won't be short of clothes to wear?"
Guan Yuxi nodded, but only halfway through before she suddenly came to her senses.
She hugged his waist tightly and kissed him on the cheek. "Nothing made by someone else is as comfortable as something made by your own man!"
There must be only one person in the world who would sew clothes for his wife by hand.
I'm so happy, thank you so much, Brother Lie!
Leng Lie raised an eyebrow, and his gaze fell upon the woman's sweet dimples, which were utterly captivating.
He nodded and continued to bury himself in his needlework.
Guan Yuxi secretly stuck out her tongue. Thank goodness she reacted quickly, otherwise...
However, his chest and abdominal muscles were so nice to touch that she couldn't get enough of them.
It's bouncy, smooth, and has a faint soapy scent.
As Guan Yuxi touched it, she got a little hungry and wanted to take a bite.
She kept swallowing, forcing herself to distract herself.
"How about I read to you?"
Leng Lie looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she had stopped touching him.
However, once he's finished with his work, he'll get to work.
Guan Yuxi took out her Chinese textbook and read the text aloud to him word by word, explaining as she went and asking him questions.
"Fine, then you shouldn't make me clothes anymore."
You're too busy. You have to work three jobs, do housework, study high school courses, and also take care of me...
She herself had much more free time.
All you need to manage are the garment factory and the "handicrafts".
Guan Yuxi felt increasingly ashamed as she thought about it.
Although Leng Lie was physically strong, he was not a god after all.
The burden on his shoulders was already heavy, and he still had to worry about so many things; it really shouldn't be like this!
"The fortune teller said I'm good at bringing good fortune to my wife, and that she'll become more and more capable the more you use me. Do you want to give it a try?"
Leng Lie glanced at her sideways, a roguish smile on his face, his eyes alluring.
He was shirtless, with only a bath towel around his waist.
Under the bright yellow light, his bronze skin shimmered with orange halos.
Guan Yuxi suddenly felt thirsty.
She licked her lips and turned to take the cup.
Leng Lie swung his long arm and took the water glass over.
"Thanks!"
Guan Yuxi reached out to take it.
Leng Lie poured the cold liquid into his mouth in one gulp.
Perhaps because I drank too quickly, the excess water trickled down the corners of my mouth, across my smooth jawline, and over my sensual Adam's apple...
She became even thirstier as she looked at it.
I was just about to grab the water bottle.
Leng Lie bent down and added some boiling water. "Here, you have to drink it warm."
How could she have bumped into such a sexy, handsome, and gentle man?
Guan Yuxi once again marveled at her incredible luck.
She took the water glass, but her eyes still followed the direction of the water droplets.
It hung on his chest, somewhere, and then disappeared.
Her eyes were also fixed on it without blinking.
Is it sweet too?
"Want to give it a try?"
He put down his work, his voice alluring.
He leaned against the headboard, supporting himself on her shoulder, his gaze as gentle as the crescent moon outside the window.
Guan Yuxi was a little confused. "How do I try it?"
The man adored her dazed little expression.
