Chapter 64: A bit dark
Lu Xiang noticed Xiao Cailian's abnormality and asked, "Mom, where are we going?"
Xiao Cailian said, "I had an argument with an old woman and lost, can you help me?"
Xiao Cailian also had complicated feelings. Although she was not very satisfied when Lu Xiang came in, so much time had passed, and Lu Xiang did everything properly, could cook delicious food, and had a quick mind, so she gradually began to pamper her.
But now I have some doubts, wondering if they are hiding something on the biggest matter.
After Lu Xiang was taken away by Xiao Cailian, Fu Qinhui, who had just come out of the house, was supposed to go to work on time. However, he looked at the direction Xiao Cailian was going and felt a little suspicious.
Lu Xiang didn't sleep yesterday, and neither did he. He didn't hate Lu Xiang, on the contrary, he cared about her more and more.
If Lu Xiang has no intention, she should be set free.
He was honest and respectable even when he was in school. Although he was born in the countryside, he was always polite. Although he always wanted a harmonious and happy marriage, he couldn't force it.
People like Lu Zhaodi are trying hard to live a good life.
It's not surprising that Lu Xiang has such thoughts.
Fu Qinhui had originally thought so, but when he finally made up his mind to let Lu Xiang go free, he couldn't bear to do so. This selfish feeling was unfamiliar yet very strong. If he hadn't slept on the floor yesterday, he was afraid that something would happen that would go against Lu Xiang's wishes.
Young men and women are at the stage of intense attraction, so who can remain calm?
It's time for Fu Qinhui to set off.
But my heart was in turmoil. Looking at the direction Lu Xiang and the others had left, I couldn't help myself. For the first time, I even ignored my work and chased after them.
Xiao Cailian took Lu Xiang to Li Liupo's place.
Xiao Cailian said, "Take a good look at me. Why is my wife just like the virgin you described?"
Lu Xiang's heart was pounding. Even such a thing could be seen. Her palms suddenly felt cold.
Li Liupo asked, "Have you ever been with Fu Qinhui?" This was a confession.
Lu Xiang's throat felt a little dry.
Even Xiao Cailian said, "It's okay, Lu Xiang. Just speak up. She's just talking nonsense. I'll tear her mouth off."
At this moment, Fu Qinhui came in from outside and said to Xiao Cailian, "Mom, what's there to doubt about this? Xiangxiang is shy, you shouldn't embarrass her with such words. If you have any questions in the future, just ask me."
When Xiao Cailian saw the fourth brother's expression, she knew that he was angry.
Fu Qinhui grabbed Lu Xiang's hand and brought her behind him. The fourth brother was cold-hearted by nature, and he was willing to protect her like this. He didn't believe that she had no feelings for him.
But even though they were already out, Xiao Cailian still asked, "Have you and Lu Xiang consummated your marriage?"
"Of course." Fu Qinhui agreed readily.
Lu Xiang looked at Fu Qinhui from behind.
Li Liupo was a little unsure of herself after hearing Fu Qinhui's confident admission. She said, "Perhaps, people are different. No one can say for sure about such things. I just said it, and your mother took it seriously."
Li Liupo gave them a way out.
When Xiao Cailian heard this, Li Liupo instead blamed her for stirring up trouble and raised her eyebrows, saying, "Old woman, you clearly said..."
Fu Qinhui interrupted her: "Mom, is there anything that can't be said at home?"
Xiao Cailian knew that she was the one who was disgraceful this time. If others knew about this, they would think that her son was incompetent.
But as a mother, she wasn't used to admitting her mistakes. She could only say, "Forget it. I'm going to talk to your sixth aunt. You guys go back first. Hurry and get to work. Don't dawdle." She acted like a mother, acting all boastful and arrogant.
Fu Qinhui held Lu Xiang's hand all the way, and many people saw it early in the morning. They laughed at them: "Fu Qinhui, why do you care so much about your wife that you have to hold her hand when you walk."
People in the village generally get married early. People their age have already married long ago. On weekdays, young couples are affectionate behind closed doors, but outside, they are as separate as if they have erected a memorial archway. How can they even hold hands? How embarrassing!
Fu Qinhui said, "Brother Dazhuang, come down to the fields." He greeted them as usual, paying no attention to their teasing. Instead, he clasped Lu Xiang's hand with his ten fingers.
Da Zhuang said: "Yes, people like us are destined to be farmers. Unlike you, you are a scholar." Although he said that, everyone in the village likes Fu Qinhui because he is not arrogant.
I heard there was a college graduate in Baijia Village. When he returned home for Chinese New Year, he looked at everyone as if they were all gone. He ignored everyone in the village, but Fu Qinhui never acted like that.
The two of them quickly returned home. In the yard, some of his nephews were playing hopscotch. Fu Qinhui pulled Lu Xiang into the house, where they finally had some peace and quiet.
Fortunately, Fu Qinhui rescued me today.
Lu Xiang said, "I thought you ignored me!" When he was cold to others, it was really unbearable.
Fu Qinhui looked at Lu Xiang. He had always kept his gentleman's agreement and never had too much contact with Lu Xiang, but he couldn't control his feelings for her.
When he saw Lu Xiang's mouth, he moved closer as if possessed.
Lu Xiang only felt that he was getting closer, but unexpectedly he turned his face to kiss her.
It was just a fleeting touch, but both of them were shocked.
Lu Xiang's cheeks suddenly turned red.
Fu Qinhui was even worse off. A gentle touch on his lips had already fueled his greed, a strange madness taking over his mind. He wanted more, more intimacy.
Fu Qinhui looked at Lu Xiang, who took a step back and quickly walked to the door and out.
Fu Qinhui was left standing there. He gently scratched his lips with his hand, and the touch was completely different. Just now, it was like a blue cloud dispersing mist, fascinating and intoxicating.
A calm madness seemed to take over Fu Qinhui, and he smiled. He felt that he had actually been adhering to some gentleman's agreement. He must have been studying himself to death!
Fu Qinhui washed his face with cold water, looked in the direction where Lu Xiang fled, and went to work.
He was definitely going to be late this time. He had always been very strict with himself, and being late had never happened to him before. But he had no regrets. Knowing his own heart was more important than anything else.
…
Lu Xiang stayed at home until dusk. When her parents got home from work, they saw Lu Xiang still playing with her little niece on the kang.
Father Lu said, "Xiangxiang, you've been here all day, it's time to go back and cook." As someone's daughter-in-law, it's not good to be as willful as when you were a daughter, right?
Lu Xiang said, "It's not my turn today, I'll play with her for a while."
Father Lu wanted to say more, but Mother Lu said, "Stop it!" It was a rare occasion for Lu Xiang to return to her parents' home.
Soon, the sound of the door opening was heard: "Mom, I'm here to take Lu Xiang back home." It was Fu Qinhui's voice. His voice was extremely gentle.
Lu Xiang looked at him as if what happened before had never happened.
Fu Qinhui walked straight over.
When Lu's parents saw their son-in-law had come to pick them up, they quickly said, "Xiangxiang, go back. If you want to come, come back during the day."
Lu Xiang had no choice but to go back with Fu Qinhui. Fu Qinhui even greeted Lu's parents with a smile. He was a little different from before, but she didn't know what was different.
When leaving, Fu Qinhui held Lu Xiang's hand, with their fingers tightly intertwined, and walked through the crowd. After work, many people liked to sit under the tree to cool off and wait to be taken back to the house for dinner.
Seeing the couple's habitual banter, Fu Qinhui responded readily but never let go of Lu Xiang's hand.
Lu Zhaodi, who was fetching water from the Lu family's old house, saw this and became even more dissatisfied. However, due to her bad reputation in the village, she did not dare to say anything and could only swallow her anger.
