That night, Jiang Ning pulled the covers up and only peeked out, waiting for Lin Chen to blow out the kerosene lamp and get into bed.
As the mosquito net fell, she spoke softly and gently, like a kitten:
"Ah Chen, you don't think I'm like a shrew too, do you?"
Lin Chen put one arm under her neck and the other around her waist, grinning as he did so.
"Wife, I love you no matter what. Especially today, the way you were so tough was so charming. You're so outstanding, I feel a little ashamed of myself."
Jiang Ning stretched out her slender fingers and covered his mouth with them.
"Ah Chen, you're wonderful. Our being together is the best arrangement from heaven. However, I still have to remind you that your cousin is a bit hypocritical. Don't be fooled by him."
"Yes, after what happened today, I've realized that Lin Tao has character flaws. I'm better off without a brother like that. I just want to protect you and our little family." Lin Chen held her hand and kissed it.
He is so happy!
Marrying a wife who is as beautiful as a fairy, so understanding, and with amazing fighting power, he must have saved the goddess Nuwa in his past life to have such good fortune.
Jiang Ning nodded solemnly, "Okay, let's work together."
They had already been through one lifetime together, and she didn't want him to know and suffer along with her. In this lifetime, as long as they were of one mind, she would never let anyone hurt them again.
As for Lin Tao, she wouldn't take the initiative to attack because she knew a principle: when she gazed into the abyss, the abyss also grimaced in its own way; when fighting monsters, one should not become a monster.
Of course, if they try anything underhanded, she will retaliate fiercely!
Lin Chen grew happier the more he looked at his wife, and his eyes became dreamy.
How could someone be so beautiful? Her skin, as smooth as jade, blushed at the slightest touch, and her shy demeanor was utterly captivating.
His breathing gradually became heavy, and with a quick grab, he pulled her into his arms, pressing his thin lips against hers.
As Jiang Ning's breath mingled, she went limp like a puddle of water, and just as she was about to take the next step, she felt a surge of heat...
"Ah Chen, I think I'm on my period." She pushed him away, panting softly.
Lin Chen was also new to matters between men and women and knew nothing about these things; his lustful eyes were filled with doubt.
"Women bleed for a few days every month... you idiot!"
She explained playfully.
When Lin Chen heard that she was bleeding, he was so anxious that he insisted on checking her. After she teased him for it, he happily went to get her some brown sugar water.
While he was out, she quickly went to her spatial storage to find a sanitary napkin and stuffed it in.
That night, the two chatted in each other's arms until they fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, a commotion broke out outside.
Lin Chen got up angrily, thinking to himself, "Who's so blind as to disturb my wife's sleep again?"
Upon exiting the building, they discovered that Luo Guangming and several other people were carrying bricks.
Yesterday afternoon, Lin Chen went to see him to discuss building a kitchen with some mud bricks.
The Lin family's current house has a main hall in the middle, with the side rooms behind the main hall where Lin Zhoushi lives. The two rooms on the east side belong to the eldest son's family, and the two rooms on the west side belong to Lin Chen's family.
The main room was where guests were received and also served as the kitchen. In the southwest corner, there was a mud-brick stove, a large water vat was placed to the north, and a cupboard was placed against the north wall.
After the family separated, Lin Chen didn't want to cook with them anymore and had the idea of building his own stove.
Unexpectedly, right after I finished talking to Luo Guangming, he brought over ready-made mud bricks on a cart today.
They also hired a few people to help carry it down.
Lin Chen rushed over to lend a hand and asked where the bricks came from.
Luo Guangming's usually cold face softened considerably: "Brother Chen, these bricks were originally made by my family to build our house. Since you've separated your family, you can use them first. I'll make more after the harvest season."
A brick costs five cents. To build a house with 12 walls and about 100 square meters, you need more than 6,000 bricks, which is three hundred yuan.
In addition, cement and sand cost several tens of dollars each, and the supply is planned, so ordinary people simply cannot obtain them.
In the village, houses are built using large mud bricks, which, together with wooden beams, cost around one hundred yuan each.
One hundred yuan may not seem like much, but for farmers who toil in the fields for a living, it is actually a heavy burden. They won't build a house unless absolutely necessary.
Building houses will affect work, and even if the people who help are doing it for free, they still have to be provided with three meals a day.
Working requires strength, so simple meals are definitely not enough; we need to eat some meat, which adds up to another expense.
Lin Chen was not short of money, so he told Luo Guangming and the others to go all out while he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat.
There was a supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, which would bring in some meat from the county town every day to sell. If you went early, you could buy some.
Luo Guangming quickly stopped him:
"Brother Chen, it's the double harvest season now, and there's a lot of work to do in the team. We'll be working from morning till night, and we'll also have to go to other jobs in between, so we won't be eating at your house."
"That won't do. We still need to eat breakfast and dinner." Jiang Ning casually tied her hair up.
Upon seeing this, Luo Guangming quickly turned his head away. Her languid state made her even more beautiful than usual, and it was easy to become captivated by her if one looked at her for too long.
Zhao Ergou, who had been called by Luo Guangming to help, came over with a grin.
"Sister-in-law, you said it yourself, I want to eat chive pancakes for breakfast."
Zhao Ergou's face was covered in red bumps, and he didn't look like a good person at all. Girls would stay far away from him, and he was twenty-four years old and still hadn't gotten married.
Jiang Ning knew that he didn't actually have any bad intentions; his biggest hobby was eating.
In this day and age, everyone is short of food, so who doesn't love to eat? It's just that he's thick-skinned and dares to say it out loud.
