In the darkness, Jiang Sui's heart was beating in her throat and her face was turning red like a cooked shrimp.
At this moment, her heart was also warmed. She didn't know if Xiao Hechuan would still be so considerate after he recovered.
Jiang Sui's nerves have been tense for many days since he traveled to this strange world. As the temperature of his feet gradually increased, his whole body became warm. After his nerves relaxed, he gradually felt sleepy.
At his side, he could hear the sound of Xiao Hechuan's even and long breathing. He had fallen asleep, and not long after, Jiang Sui also fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Xiao family got up one after another. Zhou was making a fire and cooking, while Xiao's mother went to the vegetable garden to pick cabbage. There were still some chicken, duck, fish and meat left over from yesterday's banquet, which had to be eaten in the next two days, otherwise it would be a pity if they went bad.
The three brothers each carried a load on their shoulders to fetch water, preparing to fill the empty water tank at home. Xiao Lanlan went to the river to wash clothes early in the morning.
Liu yawned and immediately went to the kitchen:
"Sister-in-law, what are we going to eat this morning?"
Zhou was adding firewood, and the hot water in the pot was boiling. There was a cloud of mist around. When she heard Liu's voice, she didn't even raise her eyes and replied coldly:
"Mom said we'd have noodles in the morning. We have half a pot of chicken left over from yesterday. Let's cook some soup and make chicken noodle soup."
When she heard that there would be chicken noodle soup, Liu smiled and swallowed her saliva. Yesterday, the guests ate first, and then her family members ate. There wasn't much food left, and most of it was put away by Xiao's mother. She didn't even get to eat a few bites of meat, but she was so greedy.
"Chicken noodle soup is good, but I have to eat more. I have to eat enough for two people. Sister-in-law, remember to roll more noodles. I'll go get some water to wash my face first."
Liu's attitude made Zhou angry. She looked back and saw Liu humming a song, looking in a very good mood. But she was pregnant now, a rich woman, and everything she said and did was righteous.
Zhou angrily threw the pliers into the corner, making a snapping sound.
As soon as Xiao Lanlan came back and saw this scene, she immediately knew that it must be her third sister-in-law who was ordering others to do something again.
In the room, Jiang Sui was awakened by the barking of dogs in the village. When he opened his eyes, he saw a magnified handsome face.
Xiao Hechuan had already gotten up, put on his clothes, and was lying on the kang looking at his wife.
He finally discovered that although his wife was thin, she became more and more beautiful the more he looked at her.
Jiang Sui was startled by him and jumped up from the kang, covering his heart.
Seeing this, Xiao Hechuan frowned:
"Wife? Did I scare you?" Xiao Hechuan felt a little guilty.
Jiang Sui quickly shook his head:
"No, no, I'm getting ready to get up."
After hearing this, Xiao Hechuan started laughing again, and the two of them began to stare at each other.
Jiang Sui was getting ready to get up, but Xiao Hechuan had no intention of leaving, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
"Wife, didn't you want to get up? Why aren't you moving?" Xiao Hechuan scratched his head in confusion.
Jiang Sui smiled helplessly and explained:
"Hechuan, you have to go out first. I need to change my clothes. It's not convenient for you to stay here."
"Why is it inconvenient?" Xiao Hechuan still didn't understand.
"It's just inconvenient. Can you please be obedient and go out first?" Jiang Sui didn't know how to explain, so he could only coax her patiently.
Although Xiao Hechuan didn't quite understand, he still went out obediently because his mother told him to listen to his wife.
In the yard, Xiao Lanlan had just returned and was hanging clothes. Seeing that nothing was happening, Liu went to her sister-in-law.
"Hey, look, everyone is up, but your fourth sister-in-law is still not up. I would say she won't be any better than me in the future."
Xiao Lanlan wrung the water out of her clothes and listened to what Liu said, which was really not pleasing at all.
"Third sister-in-law, look at what you said. It's only the first day, and you're saying this to Fourth sister-in-law. Can't I sleep a little longer if I'm tired? Are you the only one allowed to stay in bed?"
When Liu heard this, she became unhappy and puffed out her belly:
"How can it be the same? Don't I sleep more because I'm pregnant? Besides, why would she be tired after doing anything?"
"You slept a lot when you weren't pregnant, too, and you complained of being tired every other day, didn't you?" Xiao Lanlan didn't like to indulge her bad habit.
Liu was immediately choked up and thought it was boring. She turned around and wanted to complain to Zhou, but when she turned around, she found Xiao Hechuan standing behind her. She was shocked:
"Oh, I was so scared. You even scared the child out. How come you walk without making any sound?" Mrs. Liu patted her heart.
Xiao Hechuan folded his arms, pouted, and looked at her complainingly:
"You said something bad about my wife, didn't you?"
"Who said anything bad about your wife? You heard it wrong." Liu said perfunctorily.
"I just heard it. You are not allowed to say bad things about my wife." Xiao Hechuan sounded fierce and fierce. He was about 1.80 meters tall, which made Liu a little scared.
I stuttered a little when I spoke:
"If you don't want to tell me, then... just don't tell me. I didn't expect that a fool like you could be so considerate."
"Who are you calling stupid? Say it again?" Xiao Lanlan got angry as soon as she heard Liu say that her fourth brother was stupid.
Liu quickly ran away and went into the kitchen.
"Really? He's stupid to begin with, and yet he's not allowed to speak." Mrs. Liu muttered as she went into the kitchen.
When Zhou heard her voice, impatience showed on her face.
Liu saw Zhou sitting down in front of the stove door and started gossiping again:
"Second sister-in-law, tell me, why did mother have to spend so much money to find a wife for the fourth son? Could it be that she was counting on them to give birth to a grandson? Forget about the fourth son's condition, he doesn't even understand the relationship between men and women. Just look at the small body of the fourth son's wife, it seems like she is not someone who can give birth easily!"
It was really terrible that Liu was pregnant. She looked down on everyone every day. She was also stupid. She ran to Zhou to add fuel to the fire. Zhou hadn't given birth to a child for three years, and she got angry when she saw her smug look.
"Yes, you are so fertile. Who can be more fertile than you? Really."
Zhou's face darkened. Even an honest man would bite back when he was pushed into a corner. Liu had been met with disappointment all morning, and her originally good mood was no longer good. She rolled her eyes and muttered:
"Tsk, that's how it is. Don't let people say it. I didn't say anything wrong."
Zhou didn't want to pay attention to her and stopped talking. She just kept stirring the noodles in the pot.
Soon, Xiao's mother came back from the vegetable garden, carrying a large cabbage and two radishes. Coincidentally, Jiang Sui changed his clothes and came out at this time.
She took off her wedding dress from yesterday and put on her old patched clothes that she brought from the Jiang family.
