"Don't touch it, it has thorns."
Just as he was about to pick up the board, the man whispered a warning.
But it was too late. Jiang Wanwan withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, with a small wooden splinter stuck in her fingertip.
Lu Xiao quickly put down the tools in his hand, pulled her hand over to check it carefully, and carefully pulled out the splinter.
Suddenly, small beads of blood gushed out, standing out clearly on her white fingertips.
Almost subconsciously, Lu Xiao put his fingers into his mouth, and then his ears turned red.
He remembered that Jiang Wanwan had teased him before and asked him to help suck his fingers and disinfect them with saliva.
He still remembers the feeling of that time.
He glanced secretly at the little woman and saw that she was looking at him leisurely with a smile on her lips.
Lu Xiao spat out his finger, his jaw tense.
Aren't all women shy and timid? Why is it that when they are around, he is the one who always gets teased and blushes, while she doesn't feel ashamed at all?
In fact, Lu Xiao's action also reminded Jiang Wanwan of what happened that night. This time, his initiative made her feel warm, which showed that this man really cared about her.
Seeing that he was about to leave awkwardly, Jiang Wanwan grabbed his arm, walked around to him, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
"My dear, you're still angry with me even though I pricked my hand? Even if I said something to upset you just now, you should have calmed down after so much time."
Lu Xiao pursed his lips, looked at her shining eyes and said awkwardly, "No, I'm not angry with you."
He was just angry at himself, mad at himself, and didn't even know where the anger came from.
Jiang Wanwan didn't correct him. "I'm glad you're not angry. The lamb chops are almost done. I'll go steam the buns. Go call Mom over later. We'll have dinner together tonight. When the time comes, don't ask Mom to come to our house for dinner. Just say I bought you some fabric and asked Mom to help me make you a cotton-padded jacket."
A tiny light flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, and he nodded, "Okay."
When Lu's mother came over, Jiang Wanwan had already prepared the meal. The old lady had known that Jiang Wanwan had bought cloth for Lu Xiao to make a new cotton-padded jacket.
"It's too early to make cotton-padded clothes now, Lao San's family, why don't you wait a little longer?"
It takes a lot of cotton to make a cotton coat. The weather was not cold yet and the cotton from the brigade had not been distributed yet. Mother Lu thought about giving her share to the third child after the cotton was distributed.
Jiang Wanwan hadn't planned to do it today. "It's early. I ordered some cotton from someone else. I wanted to let Mom see how much cotton is needed for Lu Xiao's clothes so that he won't be short of it when the time comes."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt even more guilty. Fortunately, the item had just been ordered and had not been purchased yet, so there was still a chance to make up for it.
After measuring Lu Xiao's size, Jiang Wanwan simply found the cloth and cut it according to the measured size.
They were busy until a little late, so it was just the right time for Mother Lu to stay for dinner.
Mother Lu had no intention of eating here, but her daughter-in-law warmly invited her to stay, and she would feel ungrateful if she refused.
She originally lived with her eldest and second sons, but now she refused to even eat a meal at her eldest son's house, and was afraid that her youngest daughter-in-law would think too much.
As soon as the food was served, Mother Lu understood the intentions of the third brother and his wife.
Looking at my daughter-in-law, she seems so good. I feel that my youngest son has found a good wife, but at the same time, I feel a little worried.
When Lu Xiao sent her home, he started chatting casually.
"Look at Tiezhu's family. Tiezhu is such a good kid. If he does something like this, how can those two kids hold their heads up high in the future? Guodong already looks eighteen, and Guohua is sixteen, both of them are marriageable age. With a mother like that, who would marry their daughter to him?"
After saying that, she looked at her tall and straight son beside her. Although she understood her son's temper, there were some things she had to say.
"Wanwan is a good girl, sensible and filial. You can't do something worse than pigs and dogs and let her down. Her parents are not around, so you should be more considerate of her."
Lu Xiao thought of what Jiang Wanwan said today. She said the word divorce so easily, as if it was just like eating and drinking water.
"Did you hear me?"
Mother Lu asked again, and Lu Xiao just nodded.
In the moonlight, Mother Lu looked at her oldest son.
My son wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary, but as for my daughter-in-law...
The eldest son is the best-looking of her three sons. It is not easy to find someone more handsome than her third son in this team.
Mother Lu felt relieved for a moment, but within a moment, she thought of something else.
Her third daughter-in-law is not only good-looking but also an educated youth. From what she said during the day, she has no plans to have children.
Although her eldest son is good-looking, his temperament is too dull. If someone uses sweet words to coax her daughter-in-law...
It seems that Du Zhiqing from the educated youth point has not given up yet.
"You're such a taciturn person! Can't you just say a few more words to me when I'm talking to you? You're like this with Mom, so you're going to suffocate me in front of your wife. I'm telling you, talk to your wife more often, do more housework, and don't be so sullen all day. Do you remember what I'm telling you?"
Lu Xiao was getting impatient with his mother's nagging. As he was about to reach the door of the Lu family's old house, he replied vaguely, "I know."
Only then did Lu's mother feel relieved and didn't let him send her off anymore. She went home alone.
As soon as Lu Xiao returned home and arrived at the gate, he heard someone talking at home.
It’s not Jiang Wanwan’s, it’s a man’s. You can hear Jiang Wanwan’s laughter from time to time.
He quickened his pace and pushed the door open, seeing Li Ergou sitting on a chair and talking to Jiang Wanwan.
His face is so excited that if he had a long tail, it would be able to stand up.
"I'm telling you, sister-in-law, you didn't see it. In the end, those two were so cold that their noses and tears were running. At first, Li Cuifen was scolding them, but then she started crying and shouting that someone was going to die. She begged the team leader and the branch secretary to let them go. She said she would tolerate any punishment from the team, and she even said that it was the second scoundrel who forced her. When the second scoundrel heard this, he got anxious and shouted that Li Cuifen seduced him. He confessed everything about the two of them. It was a real dog-eat-dog scene."
The thug definitely won't admit to being forced. In this day and age, rapists will be shot.
Jiang Wanwan could almost imagine that scene.
When she saw Lu Xiao coming back, she just gave him a look.
Li Ergou actually greeted him, "Brother Xiao, you're back. I was just talking to my sister-in-law about this afternoon. Why did you come back so early? I missed a lot of the fun."
Lu Xiao looked at him deeply, then turned and sat next to Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan wanted to hear the sequel, so she urged Li Ergou to continue, "In the end, how did the team handle it?"
"These two are lucky. The autumn harvest has just passed, and the work in the fields is done. However, the team leader and the branch secretary don't intend to let them go. Starting tomorrow, they will have to clean the toilets for the members and carry manure for the team."
One of them was talking with gestures while the other was listening with great interest, as if neither of them noticed that there was one more person in the room.
Lu Xiao's jaw was clenched, and the word "unhappy" was written all over his body. After a long time, he found that Li Ergou was like a blind man, and he wondered how this man could have such a poor vision.
