Li Jianguo quickly patted his son on the shoulder:
"If Xiaoxiao is alright, quickly take her home and let her rest. Don't make her cook for the next couple of days. From now on, just boil an egg for her every day!"
Li Jianguo was even more afraid of Wang Ailing finding out than Li Chenyang.
The main reason is that there are still five sons who haven't gotten married yet, and we can't let Wang Ailing's reputation be ruined.
"Okay, then we'll head back now. Dad, give me the money!"
Li Chenyang was tall, and he carried his wife home, not caring at all about being laughed at.
"Hey, Uncle Li, your Yangzi really dotes on his wife! Doesn't he get tired carrying her back and forth like that?"
Wang Ailing's sister-in-law, Zhang Xiaoyan, immediately smiled and said.
"Yeah, what good is a grown man if he can't even lift his little wife?"
Seeing that his daughter-in-law had stopped making a fuss, Li Jianguo's expression softened. He then quickly asked Wang Ping how much money he wanted.
"No need, no medicine was prescribed, and there's no charge."
Wang Ping has a good reputation in the village; he only charges a small fee if he prescribes medicine.
Things like this, which are just for viewing and done casually, are all free.
When Ye Xiaoxiao got home, she was carried and placed on the kang (a heated brick bed). As soon as Li Chenyang arrived home, he heard his mother start nagging again.
"How old are you? Why are you being so delicate? Is your leg broken?"
Liu Juan had just finished washing the dishes when her son brought his wife back.
Feeling upset, she said something that she wouldn't normally say, and no one would have cared.
But this time, before Ye Xiaoxiao could even confront her, Li Chenyang became unwilling.
"Mom, are you trying to make sure none of our five sons can get married? Why did you provoke her?"
As soon as Li Chenyang came out, he slapped his mother again. Seeing that his mother was about to continue, Li Chenyang quickly pulled her out.
Ye Xiaoxiao saw the two of them go out through the window, and wondered what they were talking about.
Anyway, when she came back, her mother-in-law was much more restrained.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
When Li Yanni saw her sister-in-law return, she immediately went into the house and lay down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
"It's alright, little girl. Has your sister come back yet?"
Li Chenyang also has an older sister, Li Yanhong, who is already engaged and will be getting married next month.
She went to help out at someone's place these past few days because they were busy. This made Ye Xiaoxiao feel very embarrassed.
This young lady is acting like a simp. Everyone's busy these days; it's already a shame her future son-in-law isn't coming to help out at his mother-in-law's house.
Li Yanhong actually had a point, saying that her family had many able-bodied men.
No need for help. The Ye family only has two sons, so they need to go and lend a hand.
"No, my older sister probably won't be back until tonight."
Li Yanni doesn't understand adult matters. She just thinks her sister-in-law is nice.
Their sister-in-law was someone their family went through a lot of trouble to marry. They must treat her well.
In rural areas, people like Li Chenyang, who only got married at 25, are considered quite old.
Moreover, in families like theirs, Li Chenyang is the eldest son, and if he doesn't get married, his younger sisters and brothers can't get married either; they have to be married one by one in order.
For this, the younger sister, Li Yanhong, often complained to her older brother. Otherwise, she would have been married long ago; if she kept delaying, she would become an old maid.
"Why don't you come up here and take a nap? It's so hot outside, you can take a nap."
"No, sister-in-law, you go to sleep. I'm going out to play." Li Yanni said and ran off.
Ye Xiaoxiao then remembered that this younger sister was also a strange character.
After a girl gets married, she will always think of her family and rely on them for support. Her maternal uncles are very powerful.
But after the younger sister got married, she really treated herself like an outsider, only wanting to take things from the family and bring them to her side.
I always go back to my parents' home empty-handed, and I take it for granted that I'm empty-handed.
However, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the reward she had just received in her spatial storage—five yuan—all from just a few words. She had earned five yuan.
"Hey Tongzi, you're being too petty. I only said a few words to you and you've already completed the task."
Let me tell you, I could argue with her for a whole day and night without a break. You're being incredibly stingy. You only gave me five yuan.
Ye Xiaoxiao was still a little depressed.
Imagine if you exchanged a few hundred words, right? Then you'd have a few hundred dollars, so why not distribute them and build your own courtyard house?
I'm doing this for your own good. If you really anger your mother-in-law to death...
Then you'll have to arrange the marriages of your five younger brothers and two younger sisters. Are you willing to do that?
Well, you're right. Okay, then let's assume you're right.
Ye Xiaoxiao then stored the money in the system space.
Looking at the oil, noodles, and meat in the space, she thought it was a pity that they hadn't separated, otherwise she could have eaten them all by herself.
"Are you thirsty? I've cooled some water for you!"
Li Chenyang returned from outside and placed a large bowl of water on the cabinet at the head of the kang (heated brick bed). He then climbed onto the kang and lay down.
"Hey, why don't you wash up? You smell like sweat."
Although Ye Xiaoxiao thought Li Chenyang's muscles were quite pleasing to the eye, the smell was indeed a bit strong.
"You're complaining about me now? You didn't complain when I carried you around earlier."
As Li Chenyang spoke, he actually hugged Ye Xiaoxiao and kissed her.
Ye Xiaoxiao almost couldn't breathe. The action was truly sudden. Ye Xiaoxiao wasn't prepared at all. What, push her away?
Why push her away? It's her man, and he's quite handsome. She's a 26-year-old single woman; she's a normal woman too.
"Be a better person from now on. Why are you always arguing with your mother? She doesn't mean any harm!"
After kissing the person, Li Chenyang immediately started saying nice things to his mother.
"Hmph, was I being malicious? It's all my fault!"
Ye Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Li Chenyang, then kicked him, almost sending him crashing under the kang (a heated brick bed).
