Chen Xian looked at her with a sudden pang of heartache.
This woman is so kind.
Throughout, she seemed to be considering things from other people's perspectives.
If... such a woman slips away from me... then I'll be the biggest fool.
Chen Xian calmly said, "Families should be prepared to face disasters together. Besides, that steward is very arrogant. Suddenly, I feel that if I don't make proper arrangements for his family, I will never be able to calm down."
Li Niang looked conflicted, her worries and reluctance to leave continuing to trouble her.
His expression was conflicted and distorted.
Chen Xian calmly said, "You've entered the Chen family, and you still want to sneak out and wander around? You're dreaming."
He half-squatted in front of Li Niang and reached out to support her round, plump backside.
A gasp of surprise.
"My husband..."
"I was planning to marry you formally after the house with blue bricks and tiles was built... but now it seems that plans can't keep up with changes."
Chen Xian carried Li Niang straight to the brick house with tiled roof. The house was almost finished, and Uncle Chen had already had a bed made by a craftsman inside.
The bed legs aren't properly secured yet, so they're not very sturdy.
The next day at dawn.
Seeing that Liniang kept glancing at Chen Xian with a longing look in her eyes, Shuangshuang asked in confusion, "Sister, are you feeling unwell? Why does your complexion look so strange?"
Li Niang looked somewhat uneasy.
"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just had those craftsmen make you a bed yesterday, and it's only been one night. I just went to check, and the bed boards are almost falling apart. Nobody's even sleeping on it yet... No way! They were bragging to me about having been making these things for over ten or twenty years, what nonsense! I want to get someone else, damn it! Give me my money back!"
Liniang's expression instantly became awkward.
"Hey, you guys eat quickly, I'll go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes."
Chen Xian said seriously, "Yes, then we should really ask my uncle to help me find a good carpenter. Isn't this just ripping people off? The carpenter hasn't even slept in the carpenter's bed yet, and the planks are already falling apart. Isn't this just fooling people?"
My uncle was muttering to himself as he left.
"They're so careless with their work! What kind of person is this?!"
