Upon hearing Zhou Weijie's words, Zhao Xiuyun seemed to recall something terrifying, and her whole body trembled like a leaf.
But whether she liked it or not, Er Laizi rushed over through the wind and snow as darkness fell.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the howling north wind rushed in, and heavy snow was falling from the sky, covering Er Laizi's body and head with snow.
This sight broke Zhou Weijie's heart.
He quickly went forward, pulled the person into the house, found a piece of Zhao Xiuyun's clothing, and started brushing the snow off Er Laizi's body.
While hitting, he muttered to himself:
"Look at you, with the snow so heavy, why didn't you just ask Zhao Xiuyun to pick you up? Why did you come all by yourself? What if you get cold?"
Er Laizi felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing Zhou Weijie's words. He glanced defiantly at Zhao Xiuyun, who was peeling potatoes, then lightly tapped Zhou Weijie's chest with his fist and spoke in a slightly coquettish tone:
"I miss you!"
"The snow is so heavy, I want to watch the snow with you!"
Seeing the shy blush on Er Laizi's face, Zhou Weijie was overjoyed. He pointed to the small earthen jar hidden under the bed in the corner, leaned close to Er Laizi's ear, and whispered:
"I brought back some liquor; let's drink some to warm ourselves up later!"
When he mentioned his body, Zhou Weijie glanced meaningfully at Er Laizi.
After being given a meaningful look by Zhou Weijie, Er Laizi blushed even more, stamped his foot, and said coquettishly:
"You're so naughty, all you ever think about is my body!"
Seeing Er Laizi's coquettish manner, Zhou Weijie was overjoyed. He suddenly pulled him into his arms, held the other's cold hand, and whispered sweet nothings in his ear:
"Let me warm your hands..."
Have you ever covered other people's hands like this before?
Watching Zhou Weijie skillfully warm his hands, Er Laizi suddenly felt a pang of sadness, thinking that Zhou Weijie must have done this many times before to be so skilled.
When he asked this question, he looked at Zhao Xiuyun with a meaningful gaze.
Following Er Laizi's gaze, Zhou Weijie looked at Zhao Xiuyun, who was huddled in the corner busily working, and sneered disdainfully:
"How is that possible?"
She's just a dry, bland vegetable; how can she compare to the flavor of yours?
If she can't even make me feel good, why should I cover her hands?
Don't worry, I'll only warm your hands!
Upon hearing Zhou Weijie's explanation, Er Laizi seemed to enjoy the other's domineering way of speaking, and a hint of affection even began to appear in his eyes...
Nearby, in a corner, Zhao Xiuyun, trying to minimize her presence, watched the interaction between the two, feeling utterly disgusted.
It's disgusting that two grown men flirted so shamelessly right in front of her!
But clearly, both of these men were Zhao Xiuyun's men before!
How did they become a couple?
Is my existence solely for the purpose of bringing these two together?
The reason for this was that crazy morning when Zhou Weijie, having tasted the pleasures of a man, could no longer muster any interest in women.
Even though he tried many times with Zhao Xiuyun, he failed every time.
However, when he saw Erlaizi, he was overcome with an impulse as if he were possessed.
At night, I even dream about Erlaizi in my sleep!
Zhou Weijie couldn't accept his feelings for Er Laizi at first either.
However, his body's instincts drove him to find Er Laizi.
Although Erlaizi no longer had his little brother, he still felt that he was a man and how could he let another man dominate him?
Little did anyone know that after being forced by Zhou Weijie, Er Laizi reflected on it and actually felt that being a woman wasn't so bad.
Later, he became immersed in Zhou Weijie's embrace.
Such feelings could not be accepted by the world, so Zhou Weijie and Er Laizi naturally dared not let outsiders know about their relationship. Every time, Er Laizi would come to their residence and make merry in front of Zhao Xiuyun.
As time went on, the villagers, seeing Er Laizi frequently going in and out of Zhou Weijie's house, would only assume that Er Laizi was there to see Zhao Xiuyun, and they would all gossip behind Zhao Xiuyun's back, saying that she was not a virtuous woman.
Some even said directly that Zhao Xiuyun has a big appetite, and Zhou Weijie alone cannot satisfy her!
At first, people only talked about it behind their backs.
However, recently, since the work in the fields has been finished, everyone is busy preparing for the winter, and with less work to do, they have more time to gossip.
Those old women would directly criticize Zhao Xiuyun in front of her, saying that she shouldn't have done that since she had married Zhou Weijie, she should have properly persuaded the man to live together.
Even if Zhou Weijie is terrible, he's still much better than Er Laizi.
Despite being told several times, Er Laizi still came to find Zhao Xiuyun. The villagers all thought Zhao Xiuyun was beyond saving, that she was inherently attracted to rotten and smelly men.
The worse and more despicable the better!
Even when Zhou Weijie was leaving, she would offer him a few words of comfort.
Zhou Weijie and Er Laizi got the pleasure, while Zhao Xiuyun's reputation was ruined. Naturally, neither of the two men would offer any explanation.
Being cuckolded is better than having your relationship with Erlaizi exposed, right?
Therefore, not only did the two of them remain silent, they also forbade Zhao Xiuyun from going out to explain, directly threatening her that if she dared to utter a single word, they would kill her!
Having already been subdued by Zhou Weijie, Zhao Xiuyun no longer had the courage to resist.
She was glad Zhou Weijie had let her go; she was too busy dealing with Er Laizi to care.
After all, what's the big deal if outsiders say a few words?
Without realizing it, Zhao Xiuyun had lost the rationality of an educated person. In many ways, she became ignorant and foolish, acting solely on animal instincts...

"Aunt Cuihong, could you please bring Peach Blossom and Azalea to the neighbor's yard to help me cook dinner later?"
At dawn, the heavy snow of the twelfth lunar month fell thick and fast, covering the earth.
Ruan Miaomiao changed into a small floral cotton-padded jacket that Zhou Jingyun had just brought back for her from the provincial capital. She braided her black hair into two braids and tied them on both sides. She simply outlined her eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil, applied a little lip rouge, and then went around asking people to help her move into her new home.
The fifth day of the twelfth lunar month is an auspicious day for moving.
Having chosen this particular day, Ruan Miaomiao planned to hold a simple housewarming party, inviting her close friends from the village to her home to celebrate and add a touch of warmth to the occasion.
In later generations, after renovating a house, people advocated letting it air out for a few months before holding a large housewarming party and inviting relatives and friends to come and breathe in the formaldehyde.
However, at this time, the building materials were all genuine and did not contain formaldehyde or other harmful substances, so there was no question of absorbing formaldehyde.
Inviting people over for a housewarming party was purely for fun...
Upon hearing Ruan Miaomiao's words, Zhao Cuihong immediately grabbed an apron from the kitchen, tied it on, and shouted into the house:
"Peach Blossom, Azalea, hurry up, go help your sister Miaomiao cook!"
