Uncle Ye smiled secretly when he saw this. After finishing his meal, he touched his wife's belly.
"Chunhua, Tieniu? Are you asleep? Daddy has to go to work..." He called the baby's nickname and greeted it.
Uncle Ye took the initiative to carry a pile of firewood and chopped it in the yard.
Xiao He was wiping his sweat off his face. Although the man had retired from the army, he was still not very mobile. When she married into the Ye family, she had already decided to live a hard life and never imagined that she would have such a good life.
Uncle Ye is a very hardworking man. Although he has a lame leg, he is still eager to do a lot of work.
Since he retired from the army and returned home last year, when the work points were settled at the end of the year, the Ye family had an extra 2,000 work points. This year he is expected to be rated as a "labor activist."
This made Uncle Ye work very hard.
He also has his own considerations.
Everyone in the village said that Shuiya had married well, and the Ye family lived a comfortable life after Shuiya got married. In the past two years, the Ye family had benefited from the blessing of their nephew's husband and had climbed up the social ladder.
That’s true. Uncle Ye also admitted that half of the money for building the Ye family’s house was given by his nephew’s husband.
Uncle Ye secretly made up his mind that he could earn some wealth for his family on his own and would never let outsiders look down on their Ye family.
He would save up the money for the house and eventually be able to pay back his nephew's husband. His Shui Ya was not bad, and the Xie family's kid was obviously lucky to marry Shui Ya!
So Xiao He saw her husband chopping wood and then fetching water, feeding chickens and pigs. He didn't take a breath after eating and was so diligent that he never had a moment to rest.
Ye Qingshui ate up all the remaining rice in the pot without wasting a single grain. She wiped her mouth and felt that she was really a big eater, as if she was afraid of being hungry. She ate a lot and had great strength. Now she could fill eight jars of water in one breath.
Xie Tingyu also ate three bowls of rice.
The Ye family had two more strong male laborers, and the amount of grain they received at the end of the year doubled. They no longer had to be stingy and save on food rations like before.
Xiao He looked at the young couple looking at each other, and remembered what others whispered to her in the morning when she went to work. She took out the milk powder that she was reluctant to drink and planned to drink during the confinement period.
She made a bowl of milk and placed it in front of Ye Qingshui. The warm milk was filled with a fragrant aroma that made people salivate.
Ye Qingshui said with a smile: "Auntie, just drink it yourself, it's a waste for me to drink it."
She whispered to her aunt secretly, "I'm not pregnant."
This kind of thing still caused misunderstandings. Ye Qingshui glanced at Xie Tingyu. It was all caused by this guy.
Xie Tingyu also opened his mouth awkwardly and said with a smile: "Auntie, please care more."
Xiao He was extremely surprised, but she smiled knowingly. The relationship between the couple was gradually improving, and the family members could see it.
"Come on, Shui'er got married earlier than my uncle. Drink this bowl of milk to replenish your body."
Her hand fell on her belly, and her smiling face was so gentle, as if filled with the radiance of motherhood.
Ye Qingshui thought of the child he had missed and felt regretful.
…
Not only did Aunt Xiaohe misunderstand, Shen Weimin also thought that the couple might have a "happy event". Just say that during the New Year, seeing how sweet they were, they should have a child.
He and Liu Yiliang were thinking about what gift to give Xie Tingyu.
Xie Tingyu touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "You don't need to spend money. This matter is still too far away. I don't want to think too much."
Shen Weimin's wish to become an uncle was dashed, and he said unhappily: "Why is it so far away? You have been married for a year, and it's time to think about the child."
Xie Tingyu didn't know how to explain to his good friend, so he simply kept silent. It was too embarrassing to explain.
Can the matter of having a child be thought of by one person alone?
Shen Weimin looked at the frustration that Xie Tingyu accidentally revealed, and suddenly laughed, “Brother Yu, you haven’t…yet?”
He muttered quietly, "Brother Yu, don't waste your face. Have a few more children, and we can be relatives in the future."
In spring, everything comes back to life. Bulky winter clothes are replaced and everyone puts on light spring clothes. In this small southern town, some people even wear short sleeves because they feel too hot.
Xie Tingyu wears a white shirt outside, but when he gets home he is shirtless and wears only a vest.
When Ye Qingshui got up at night, he saw him walking back and forth in the house wearing only a pair of cool shorts many times.
Ye Qingshui pressed against the man's hot body and kissed his face apologetically: "I'm sorry."
Ye Qingshui's face was filled with regret, and she was struggling in her heart. In her previous life, she and Xie Tingyu consummated their marriage after the college entrance examination, and they unexpectedly had a child. If she consummated her marriage earlier in this life, would it still happen?
This child had been with her for several months. She felt guilty for not trying hard to bring it into the world in her previous life. In this life, she had the chance but still didn't want it. The regret in Ye Qingshui's heart could never be made up.
Ye Qingshui whispered in Xie Tingyu's ear: "Brother Yu, I will give you a surprise when the time comes."
Xie Tingyu hugged her waist tightly. She had gained some weight, so it was much more comfortable to hold her in his arms.
It's so chubby that it's hard to help yourself.
Xie Tingyu was rejected again, and suffered a heavy blow in his heart, but he still touched her hair with understanding, "Go to sleep, don't think too much."
What surprise could be greater than letting him actually eat meat?
Xie Tingyu couldn't understand it.
However, Xie Tingyu did not receive a surprise, but soon received a shock.
After finishing the spring ploughing work, Xie Tingyu found that everyone was looking at him with pity.
This feeling was not as strong among the male educated youth. When he finished his work and went to bring food to his wife, he found that the atmosphere in the women's labor group was even weirder.
Ye Qingshui put down her hoe, took off her straw hat and sat under a tree to enjoy the cool air. She ate her meal in big mouthfuls while watching her husband working in the fields under the scorching sun.
The female educated youth pointed and said, "I don't know how it became like this. These two people looked pretty good..."
"I was so blind that I thought Ye Qingshui was a good person,"
"Don't stop me. I can't bear to see Xie Zhiqing being kept in the dark."
Ye Qingshui frowned as she saw a group of women quarreling. The leading woman raised her voice and questioned her in a high-pitched voice:
"Ye Qingshui, you can still eat!"
She picked up a piece of mud indignantly and threw it towards the tree.
Ye Qingshui closed her eyes subconsciously, but Xie Tingyu had already stood in front of her.
The sticky mud hit his body and stained his clean shirt, and Xie Tingyu groaned.
His eyebrows were raised indifferently, and his face was as cold as the ice chips faintly visible on the top of a snowy mountain.
Ye Qingshui saw the man being hit by mud in order to protect her. She was so angry that she put the meal aside and grabbed the woman and said sternly:
"What are you doing!"
The woman looked at Ye Qingshui's righteous look and shook her head, "What did I do? I was wrong about you. You should explain this to Xie Zhiqing!"
She took out a blurry list from her bosom and slapped it into Ye Qingshui's hand. The thin, worn paper could not bear the weight and fell to the ground precariously.
Xie Tingyu bent down, picked up the paper, and unfolded it to look at it.
This is a certificate of abortion, and the blurred handwriting in the lower right corner is Ye Qingshui's.
The moment Ye Qingshui saw her name appear on the list, she was nailed to the spot. Her eyelids twitched and she subconsciously looked at Xie Tingyu.
Xie Tingyu's expression was hard to read. He quickly glanced at the paper, folded it, and put it in his pocket. He said to those people in a cold tone:
"This is not true. I hope rumors stop with the wise. I will hold the person who forged this list accountable."
The team leader, who was unaware of the situation, shouted, "It's time to get off work. Team leaders, collect your farm tools and return them. Everyone should arrive early tomorrow."
Xie Tingyu took the list, picked up the lunch box for his wife, and went home without saying a word.
Ye Qingshui quickly followed the man, took out the list from his pocket and looked through it carefully.
When she saw the words "People's Hospital", a picture quickly emerged in her mind. After checking the date, it really happened during that period.
She immediately understood what was going on, and at the same time, she felt furious.
Ye Qingshui saw Xie Tingyu enter the room with a dark face and slammed the door shut. He was very angry.
Ye Qingshui walked into the room anxiously, sat down next to Xie Tingyu, stared at his stern face, suddenly put his arm around his shoulders, shook them, and said:
"I'm sorry, it's not what you thought."
What should he think of her now?
Looking back on her past, it can be said that she had a "bad record". Before, her relationship with Xie Tingyu was cold and icy. After finally making some progress, this kind of thing happened. Ye Qingshui raised her head anxiously and looked at Xie Tingyu.
She was also not sure what Xie Tingyu would think of her.
Ye Qingshui looked at the man. His emotions were unclear at the moment, but there seemed to be a flame burning in his eyes and his face was frighteningly tense. Any man would be angry if he heard that his wife was cheating on him, right?
Xie Tingyu listened and was silent for a long time before he pressed her into his arms, resting his forehead against hers, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't say sorry, I am the one who is sorry for you."
Ye Qingshui blinked and was stunned for a moment. All the words he had prepared became useless in an instant.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Xie Tingyu said in a stern voice: "I didn't know that a person could be so malicious that he could slander you so many times. This time I won't let her go -"
The veins on his clenched fists were bulging.
The moment he saw his wife's "abortion form", Xie Tingyu felt shocked as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank and he couldn't even think.
But after calming down, Xie Tingyu soon discovered many loopholes. The dates of pregnancy and abortion did not match, and Ye Qingshui was not that kind of person.
Ye Qingshui was held in his arms, pressed against his chest, feeling the thumping of his heart.
And his anger.
He was dirty and hadn't even had time to change his clothes. He was sweaty and even had sweat on his forehead. But Ye Qingshui didn't dislike him at all. Instead, he took a deep breath and kissed him on the lips.
She asked with a smile: "Don't you doubt me?"
"What if one day I'm really unhappy and look for someone outside..."
Before Ye Qingshui could finish his words, he was spanked on the butt.
The man's palm was as hard as iron sand, and it hit her so hard that her heart throbbed and she cried out in pain.
Xie Tingyu's face darkened as he said rudely, "If you say something like that again, I'll see if I can break your legs."
Such words are very hurtful to men's dignity.
Xie Tingyu thought of the trader who had been in contact with his wife. He hated her every time he saw her. Xie Tingyu was as cunning as wheat awns.
Ye Qingshui sat in his arms, recalled and said softly: "That day I was looking for a hospital for Mr. Zhou, and I found this People's Hospital. When I came out, I met Zhao Yan and He Fang."
"Zhao Yan's face is a little pale, and she looks like..."
Xie Tingyu hummed.
He put his wife down and looked at her, "Leave this to me."
After discussing the matter, Xie Tingyu looked down and realized the situation between the two of them. His face couldn't help but darken.
Being a germaphobe, he quickly took off his clothes and found a clean piece of clothing to put on. He looked back at Ye Qingshui and his temples couldn't help but jump.
His Adam's apple rolled, and he said apologetically in a hoarse voice: "Shui'er, your clothes are a little dirty too, you need to change."
His palms felt a little hot, and he opened the closet to find a piece of clothing.
Ye Qingshui met Xie Tingyu's gaze, took the clothes he handed to her, and suddenly blushed.
Xie Tingyu said calmly: "I won't look at you, you change it yourself!"
He casually turned around, pulled out a book and began to read it intently.
After a rustling sound, Ye Qingshui's face turned red, and she was already wearing that clean blue and white dress.
She turned her head and was unexpectedly met with a pair of dark eyes.
The man who had said he wanted to avoid her stared at her without disguising himself, and it was unknown how long he had been staring at her. Ye Qingshui blinked in surprise.
Xie Tingyu's breathing stagnated, and he explained: "I didn't see it!"
The sunlight fell on her smooth, fair face, and her blushing cheeks were like the most gorgeous painting of spring, so charming that it made people's hearts feel warm. Xie Tingyu turned his head away in a somewhat depressed manner.
Ye Qingshui's cheeks were dimpled and she couldn't help but shake her head and smiled.
"If you want to see it, just tell me no. I'm not forbidding you to see it."
In the middle of the night, the night was as cold as water.
A faint sobbing sound was heard from the girls' dormitory at the educated youth center.
Zhao Yan shed tears in sorrow. She asked He Fang in a panic, "Why did you do this?"
He Fang said, "I'm doing this for your own good. You know, we were caught by Ye Qingshui in the hospital that day. If we don't take the opportunity to take action first, your affair will be exposed sooner or later. Think about the things you have said to her before, will she let you go this time?"
"The person who should be worried now is Ye Qingshui."
The whole village saw the changes in Ye Qingshui. She had grown up, and her body, which was originally as thin as a lentil, was now like dough that had been fermented. She had attracted many men to pursue her, and even the bachelors in the educated youth camp would mention her from time to time.
Ye Qingshui's face flashed through He Fang's mind, and in the dark night her face was distorted with jealousy.
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry. I saw them quarreling when I returned to the capital. Xie Zhiqing won't trust her anymore. She can't protect herself now."
On New Year's Eve, He Fang wandered around and arrived at the gate of the military compound.
She saw Ye Qingshui quarreling with Xie Tingyu with tears in her eyes, and they were doomed to divorce. This time they returned to the village and pretended to be a loving couple again. She gritted her teeth and decided that she had to get a divorce!
She comforted Zhao Yan softly and said, "The secretary promised you that he would protect you."
The author has something to say:
Shui Ya: Divorce, divorce, I want a divorce!
Reader: Divorce, divorce as soon as possible!
Pingshengjun: Leave, leave, leave!
He Fang waited and waited chapter after chapter...
—————End of the full text—————
He Fang, who was deceived and in tears: What about the divorce we agreed on?
