Chapter 145 Let’s Build a House



Xu Mo followed Liu Xiaolan into the room and asked her in confusion.

Liu Xiaolan's chest heaved with anger.

After looking his son up and down, his eyes hurt even more.

How come it has grown so big?

For the first time, she regretted giving birth to a son so tall and strong.

No wonder Jiaojiao was bullied so badly.

Xu Mo looked at Liu Xiaolan in confusion, "Mom, what do you want from me?"

Why did he feel he saw regret and hatred in his mother's eyes?

He should be Liu Xiaolan's son.

Liu Xiaolan sat on the kang angrily, and after a long while she asked, "Did you go to your second brother to learn from him?"

Xu Mo: "...Mom, what do you want to say?"

Liu Xiaolan became even angrier and glared at Xu Mo, "It's about what happened in your room. Didn't I tell you that your second brother is very good at this and has a lot of experience? You don't know anything and you'll hurt Jiaojiao if you're not careful. I asked you to ask your second brother, did you go?"

She added, "Look at what you did last night. You hurt Jiao Jiao so badly. Such a delicate little girl was bullied by you and her whole body is covered with wounds. Now she is still tired and unconscious. Look at you. You don't know how to take care of a girl at all."

Don’t you have any self-awareness? You are such a big guy, but you don’t know the importance of doing things? Humph, seeing Jiaojiao like that, it really hurts me to death. "

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment.

But after a while, he understood.

After hearing this from his mother, he felt even more guilty.

He sighed and whispered, "I'll go ask my second brother later." But how should I ask about this?

He really couldn't bring himself to ask.

Liu Xiaolan snorted coldly again and then left the house.

Xu Mo was hurt by his mother, and then he took advantage of Li Ermei's absence and ran to Xu Fugui's room.

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

When Xu Fugui saw Xu Mo sneaking into the house and locking the door in broad daylight, he felt... strange.

Xu Mo looked around the room, then walked to the other corner, leaned against the wall, and kept a long distance between himself and Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui: "...No, Third Brother, what's the matter? Why do you make me seem like I have a bad habit?"

Xu Mo softened his throat and opened his mouth.

But I couldn't say what I wanted to ask.

In the end, he still couldn't get over it in his heart, and under Xu Fugui's puzzled gaze, he walked out of the room again.

Xu Fugui: “…”

Xu Mo thought about it and decided that what happened in the room should not be known to others easily, even if that person was his second brother. After all, this was the most private matter between the young couple.

He did lose control last night, but as long as he can control himself well in the future, he will definitely not hurt Jiaojiao.

He has that confidence.

Xu Mo returned to the room and went to see Shen Jiaojiao.

The moment he entered, Shen Jiaojiao woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

He said vaguely, "What time is it?"

"It's almost half past ten. Am I disturbing you? Go back to sleep. It's still early."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to sleep anymore, so she propped herself up and the quilt that had been covering her slipped down to her waist.

The eye-catching scars on the snow-white skin are really shocking.

Xu Mo's eyes darkened and he stared at Shen Jiaojiao's chest.

Shen Jiaojiao followed his gaze and said with some resentment, "Xu Mo, are you born in the year of the dog?"

Xu Mo: “…”

Xu Mo sat down on the edge of the kang, reached out to pick up Shen Jiaojiao and let her sit on his lap.

The slightly thin hand slid across the marks on the skin, and said apologetically, "Jiaojiao, I drank a little last night and lost control. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Shen Jiaojiao couldn't figure out what this person was thinking.

Do you still need to apologize for this?

But she was tortured badly last night.

I didn't close my eyes until dawn.

Although she likes Xu Mo, she can't stand such torture!

So he comforted her, "Then why don't we be gentler next time? You drank, it's not your fault."

Xu Mo kissed Shen Jiaojiao on the lips, "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable in the future, you can stop at any time."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Well, I'm hungry now."

"Just lie down on the bed first. The food is being heated in the pot. I'll bring it to you."

"But I'm all sticky, I want to take a shower first."

"Okay, the bath water is ready. I'll go get the tub. You wait for me in bed."

Shen Jiaojiao took a shower in the room, changed into a clean dress, then sat on the kang and ate the meal Xu Mo prepared for her.

A big steamed bun with a plate of braised pork.

Shen Jiaojiao picked up the steamed bun and looked at it. "Did you make this steamed bun?"

"No, I asked my mother to do it for me."

Xu Mo said a little embarrassedly, "Making steamed buns is quite difficult. I haven't learned it after several days. But give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to make steamed buns well."

Shen Jiaojiao didn't care whether he could cook or not.

But since the man is determined, she can't undermine his self-confidence!

So he praised her, "Don't worry, you are so smart, you will definitely be able to do it well."

Shen Jiaojiao picked up another piece of braised pork.

"What about this meat? Was it also made by mom?"

Xu Mo was quite nervous this time, "I made this, try it and see if it tastes good."

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up.

This plate of braised pork looks delicious!

Just the appearance of this product makes her hungry.

Shen Jiaojiao picked up a small piece of lean meat and put it in her mouth to chew.

Xu Mo held his breath and waited for Shen Jiaojiao's evaluation.

"Is it delicious?" He finally couldn't help but asked out loud.

Shen Jiaojiao nodded, "It's delicious, not too salty or bland, a little sweet, but the meat is a little tough, you must have cooked it for too long, next time cook it for a shorter time, then this dish of braised pork will be perfect."

Shen Jiaojiao had obvious dimples on her face. "Xu Mo, you are amazing. I didn't know how to cook before, but I didn't expect that after learning for such a short time, I can actually cook braised pork."

Xu Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I have a dish that is presentable.

"From now on, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll learn from you."

Shen Jiaojiao took a bite of the steamed bun and nodded.

Xu Mo looked at the fat in the bowl and said, "Leave the fat in the bowl for me to eat, and you eat all the lean meat."

Shen Jiaojiao was chewing meat and didn't say anything.

When she was halfway through her meal, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where did Meili sleep yesterday?"

"I still sleep with my mother and the others, but I put a curtain in the middle of the kang."

There is no extra room in the house, so I can only sleep wherever I can.

At this time, Shen Jiaojiao expressed her thoughts, "Xu Mo, let's build a room in the back! When the house is built, we will let Meili live in this room."

In fact, when Shen Jiaojiao mentioned building a house, Xu Mo had also thought about it.

"But, wouldn't it be too conspicuous if we built a house now? Although we have money now, the villagers know our family situation. If..."
