No one blamed Liu Ruonan for hitting her elders anymore. Even rabbits bite when they are angry. Besides, Liu Ruonan's performance today was remarkable.
Everyone immediately put on a smile and watched Liu Ruonan drink the wine in one gulp.
"Everyone, enjoy your meal." After Liu Ruonan finished speaking, she turned and walked to Chen Jianmin, smiling and saying, "Auntie, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"I told you not to be polite! Everyone knows what kind of people Liu Ergou's family is. You are right to do this. You can't be bullied by them all your life." Chen Jianmin supported Liu Ruonan very much, which made Liu Ruonan feel very warm inside.
"Thank you, auntie. I'll trouble you here. I'll go in and see Brother Zhuang Sheng." Liu Ruonan was worried about Zhuang Sheng. He was lying alone in the room, not knowing what was happening outside. He must be very anxious.
After walking into the house, which was only a dozen steps away, Liu Ruonan's heart was in turmoil. She was also very surprised. How could she suddenly become so strong?
"Is it Liu Ergou's family who came to cause trouble? How are you? Are you hurt?" Zhuang Sheng looked at Liu Ruonan who came in as if she had a lot on her mind. He wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't move at all. His eyes were full of concern and worry.
Liu Ruonan collected her thoughts, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Zhuang Sheng and smiled, "It's okay, they just came here to vent their anger. The wife they had just got is gone so suddenly. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Liu Dazhuang to find a wife in his lifetime."
Zhuang Sheng raised his hand and held Liu Ruonan's. He had never been so eager to get better soon as he did now.
"Ruonan, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you!" Zhuang Sheng's eyes were full of apology.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Marrying me is the best protection for me!" Liu Ruonan no longer cared about the custom of having to wait until the time for the groom to lift the red veil. She just sat there chatting with Zhuang Sheng, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.
Although Zhuang Sheng didn't see what was happening outside, he heard the conversation outside. He suddenly felt that such a domineering Liu Ruonan was very cute!
The day ended quickly. Since there was no ceremony, the wedding was relatively simple.
After the song ended, all the relatives and friends who had come to the wedding disappeared, leaving only the grandfather's family behind to help Chen Jianmin clean up.
Liu Ruonan originally wanted to help clean up, but was rejected by everyone. After all, she was the bride today, and how could a bride be asked to clean? Liu Ruonan couldn't argue, so she went back to the house to chat with Zhuang Sheng.
Many children who had just finished school would run to the bride's room and ask for a piece of wedding candy. Liu Ruonan always distributed the candy to them with a smile on her face, and she loved this feeling.
Unlike her previous life's wedding, where Liu Dazhuang had suffered a beating on the wedding night due to an illness, this wedding was filled with peace and joy. Although simple, it was what she had always dreamed of.
It was late at night. Liu Ruonan finished washing up and wiped Zhuang Sheng's face and hands with a towel dipped in warm water. She also dragged him to the bed and soaked his feet in warm water.
Zhuang Sheng had never experienced anything like this before. Liu Ruonan took care of him meticulously. A full sense of happiness spread in his heart.
Liu Ruonan lay in bed, fully clothed, while Zhuang Sheng lay on the inside. The room was dimly lit, and they were both equally nervous, their eyes darting around the ceiling as if by agreement.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Ruonan." Zhuang Sheng suddenly spoke, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"Yeah!" Liu Ruonan responded lightly.
"When I get better, I will definitely protect you and won't let you get hurt!"
"Yes! I believe it!"
But, will it really be okay? Zhuang Sheng still has no idea.
Before they knew it, the two fell asleep in such an awkward atmosphere.
The next day.
Before dawn, Liu Ruonan got up, washed up simply, and went out quietly.
Everyone in the family was still asleep. Liu Ruonan looked at the moon still hanging in the sky and heard bursts of frog croaking in the distance. She couldn't help feeling relieved.
In this life, she finally got what she wanted.
I opened the door quietly, and just as I was about to close it, I heard a greeting from behind me: "Sister-in-law, where are you going so early?"
Liu Ruonan turned around and saw the burly Chen Lei standing in front of her. He had a fierce look, but when he smiled he looked silly.
Liu Ruonan rarely went out in her previous life and didn't know Chen Lei very well. She only remembered that the children in the village were afraid of him, and even she was afraid of him.
"Oh! It's brother! Why are you here so early?" Liu Ruonan asked instead of answering.
"My family needs to water the fields, so I go to the brigade to queue up," said Chen Lei.
"Then I won't bother you anymore, brother." Liu Ruonan said, then turned and left.
Chen Lei is only 25 years old this year, but because he looks strong and mature, people who don’t know him would think he is in his 30s.
Liu Ruonan's most profound impression of Chen Lei still lingers on the moment he resolutely blocked Chen Ergou yesterday. Although the elders in their family seemed to have their own calculations, the younger generation, however, did not seem to be so scheming.
Liu Ruonan heard the rustling sound of footsteps and turned to look, only to see Chen Lei following behind her. Liu Ruonan paused, turned to look at Chen Lei, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what are you following me for?"
"Zhuang Sheng told me yesterday that if you see someone bullying you, you have to ask me to protect you. I think it's still dark now, and if you go out alone, I'm afraid you'll be blocked by Liu Dazhuang's father."
Liu Ruonan chuckled. She didn't expect that such a mighty and strong man would be such a simple and honest man.
"Are you close to Brother Zhuang Sheng?" Liu Ruonan asked. Liu Ruonan was not aware of the complicated relationship in their family.
"We're all brothers, so how can there be any difference between good and bad? Zhuang Sheng said so, so I have to do it!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Lei actually kept his promise. Liu Ruonan didn't want to be an enemy to everyone, and besides, Zhuang Sheng's uncles had a point in their plans. Every family has its own problems, and in a situation like Zhuang Sheng's, there were very few people who could be as selfless as Chen Jianmin.
"Brother, are you anxious about queuing up for watering the fields?"
"There's no rush. I'll wait until you go home before I leave." Chen Lei said awkwardly, scratching the back of his head. In fact, he was quite worried. If he was delayed, he might get scolded by his mother when he got home.
"If you're not in a hurry, can you accompany me up the mountain?" Liu Ruonan pointed to the mountains not far away. There were many herbs on the mountain, and Liu Ruonan wanted to pick them to treat Zhuang Sheng's illness.
"Going up the mountain? What are you going up there for? It's a deserted mountain, hardly anyone's ever been there. I heard there are lots of birds and animals up there." Chen Lei was puzzled. Is this kid crazy? She's out before dawn, just to go up the mountain? She's past that age of playfulness, isn't she?
What's more, she just got married last night, so why did she leave her groom and go up the mountain alone this morning?
