"Son, are we going too far?"
"We are all from the same village. It's just a meal. It won't cause any burns. And you want money for it? Sigh..."
After beating up those scoundrels and sending them away, her mother Wang Caigu grumbled with some pity.
Zhao Wei put his arm around her shoulders and analyzed the matter carefully with her.
"Mom, this is to scare the monkeys. I promise that these people will stay away from our family members in the future and will never dare to take advantage of us again."
"Don't you think about how much they have taken advantage of over the years?"
These scoundrels often made trouble for their family members when they were in the production team.
Some work, which was clearly done by their family members, would eventually be taken away by these people, and the work points that should have belonged to them would eventually become someone else's.
At that time, the people in their family were too honest. They were afraid of their large numbers and did not dare to step forward to argue. They could only swallow their bitterness.
Thinking about these old accounts now, the five dollars compensation is just the interest collected, which is not much at all.
Speaking of the past, Wang Caigu's soft-heartedness quickly dissipated, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Humph! They deserve it. They should be scalded to death. They are a bunch of heartless people. This is the retribution they deserve."
Master Liu came out from the darkness when he saw that the matter was settled.
Zhao Wei said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. The people in our village...are actually quite warm and hospitable. There are only a few bad apples. I didn't expect that you would run into them."
"I'll make you something delicious tomorrow morning. It's too late tonight, so don't go back to town. Just go back to Erlaizi's room and rest. What do you think?"
Master Liu naturally had no objection and quickly said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
Er Laizi led everyone away, and the yard finally quieted down. The family began to clean up the mess.
Yunxiu was told by Zhao Wei to go back to her room and cover herself with the quilt. She seemed to have anticipated what was going to happen, and her heart was pounding. She refused to go no matter what and insisted on cleaning up with Wang Caigu.
Seeing how she insisted, Zhao Wei realized that he was being too hasty.
I felt a little melancholy and almost lost the energy to work.
After packing up their things and putting all the supplies brought back from the county town into the house, the family was busy boiling water for washing their feet and did not go to bed until very late.
Zhao Wei couldn't fall asleep the whole time. He could hear the breathing of the person next to him. Although it was very light and even, he could still tell that it was different from usual.
Yunxiu wasn't asleep at all. She was just being on guard against him.
He said calmly: "Yunxiu, get up, stop pretending to be asleep, let's talk!"
If he doesn't talk it out clearly, he's afraid he'll have to wait until dawn.
Yunxiu still didn't move, as if she thought Zhao Wei was blackmailing her.
"Tell me the truth, do you have someone in your heart? If so, just tell me boldly. I, Zhao Wei, am not a person who forces others to do things. I will not force women to do things they don't want to do."
"Even if you want to leave, I can let you go free. You can take the money you have with you. I won't ask you to return it."
Finally, he added emphatically: "I swear in the name of my parents that everything I said today is from the bottom of my heart and I will never regret it!"
After waiting for a long time, Yunxiu didn't respond, and his heart gradually grew cold, so he stood up decisively.
"From now on, I'll give this place to you. I'll sleep somewhere else. Don't worry, I won't touch you again!"
He has figured it out. No matter how beautiful the other person is or how much he likes her, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't like him, he will not be happy even if he forces her to stay with him.
He left the choice to others, put on his clothes and pants, then put on his shoes, and finally... waited to leave.
At this moment, a pair of arms came up from behind and hugged his waist tightly.
Zhao Wei's heart trembled: "What do you mean? I want to hear you speak!"
The other party seemed to have been thinking for a long time before he uttered a sentence: "I don't have a sweetheart, you... don't leave!"
Zhao Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He was only one step away. As long as he took that step, it would be extremely difficult to turn back.
He turned around, grabbed the other's slippery arm and said, "Do you know what it means to keep me here? What I want to do with you is to be a loving couple, not a couple for the sake of face. Have you thought about it?"
"I……"
Yunxiu was actually still a little scared.
I’m afraid that one day Zhao Wei will wake up and return to his old ways and become the violent person he loves to beat.
But... after hearing Zhao Wei's footsteps as he was about to leave in disappointment, she panicked.
It’s not that I’m worried that no one wants me, nor that I’m afraid that I’ll end up on the streets.
She was afraid of not having those warm arms to protect her and give her warmth.
If being with Zhao Wei is like a gamble, then she is willing to gamble the rest of her life.
If she wins, Zhao Wei will protect her for the rest of her life. If she loses... she won't blame anyone, she will only blame her bad luck.
After she figured it out, she said nothing, but just knelt on the edge of the kang, fumbling to unbutton Zhao Wei's clothes again.
She couldn't see, the room was pitch dark.
After searching the clothes for a long time, he still couldn't find the right place. More like an arsonist...
"You woman, this is your choice..."
Zhao Wei pushed him down.
In the long night, the sound of the cricket pupae, mixed with the sound of heavy breathing, seemed to be composing a hymn to life, and bright red flowers bloomed...
Zhao Wei had no dreams all night and almost spent the whole night with his eyes open.
Forgive him for being a widower in his previous life and a eunuch in this life. It was naturally a bit exaggerated that he finally completed the coming-of-age ceremony that a man should have.
"Ahem...you should sleep well today. I won't let anyone disturb you."
"Um... I'm right at the door, call me if you need anything!"
Well, if his wife wants to pee, he can consider it...
Tsk tsk… He used to despise men doing this kind of things, but when he really couldn’t help himself, he realized it was just a trivial matter.
It was not until Zhao Wei left that Yunxiu, who had been buried deep in the quilt, revealed her flushed face.
The bangs on her forehead were wet at this moment. Even in the middle of winter, it seemed that all the meridians in her body were cleared, and she felt extremely hot.
But she still chose not to stay in bed. After quickly tidying up the kang, she looked at the sheets she had just changed and fell into a dilemma.
How could she wash the soiled sheets with so many villagers helping in the yard?
