Chapter 113: His wife confronted him and wanted a divorce?

Xia Juanjuan saw that Fu Qingye had already gained a good reputation among the educated youths, and was afraid that his life would not be easy in the future.

The source of the rumor that she was cheating on men in the county had been found out, so it shouldn't spread any further. He nodded and said:

"Since you said so, I will not pursue the matter this time. Thank you, Captain."

After saying that, Xia Juanjuan glanced at Fu Qingye coldly and went home.

On the way, I remembered what the educated youth team leader said: Xu Jiayuan was arrested?

How could it be such a coincidence? Just now, the matter in Tianjin has been exposed?

But this is the best way. No one will care about Xu Jiayuan falling down the slope and breaking his leg.

The bamboo shoots that were dried yesterday haven't been fully dried yet, and there's no telling when the weather will clear up again. Afraid that they'd get moldy if left for too long, Xia Juanjuan took the bamboo shoots to the stove to dry.

Because she was absent-minded, her hands were burned several times and blisters appeared on them.

Xia Juanjuan felt somewhat weak for some reason. She didn't even want to cool the burned area with water, and just let her fingers suffer the burning pain.

As if this could share the pain in another place.

At noon, Xia Juanjuan had no mood to cook, so she just took a big hot meat bun from the space, cooked some sweet potato and millet porridge, and fried some cabbage and pork slices to deal with it.

While eating, the three kids kept telling her about the snowball fights they had with their friends in the village.

Xiaowen, Xiaowu and other boys were playing snowball fights, but they accidentally broke the snowmen made by Beibei, Huanhuan and Yingying, the girls' base. Beibei even cried.

Xiaowen called on the boys to build a snowman together and gave it back to them, but they rejected it because it was too ugly...

Xia Juanjuan also listened with little interest.

After lunch, the three little boys followed the rules Xia Juanjuan had set for them. They sat at the table, took out their textbooks, paper and pens, and started learning to write.

Xia Juanjuan thought about it and decided to talk to Li Zhan about something when he came back. It was inconvenient for the three kids to stay at home, so she called Xiaowen, "Xiaowen, you don't have to write this afternoon. Take your brothers and sisters out to play."

The three little guys were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han. When they heard this, they were so happy that they almost jumped up. Xiao Wu was the most heartless and ran out first.

Xiao Wen was very sensible. As if he could tell that Xia Juanjuan was in a bad mood, he asked worriedly, "Mom, did someone make you angry? Tell me, and I'll avenge you!"

Xia Juanjuan listened to these heartwarming words and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It was your fourth uncle who caused this. You can't beat him even if you tell him...

She gently touched Xiaowen's head and said with a smile, "Mom is fine, just a little sleepy. I want to take a nap in the afternoon. You guys go out and play, and take good care of your brothers and sisters."

Xiaowen looked at it again before going out and going crazy.

Xia Juanjuan put the food reserved for Li Zhan in the pot to warm it up, and continued to roast bamboo shoots absentmindedly.

After an unknown amount of time, a fierce voice suddenly came from outside: "I'm back!"

Li Zhan put down his backpack and walked in, saying with a smile: "Today is a great harvest. Not only did we dig a full basket of bamboo shoots, but we also caught a buckwheat. You can make it into bacon when the time comes. It will last you a long time..."

Xia Juanjuan was startled and accidentally got burned again. Her hand jumped away as if she had received an electric shock, and as a result, the plate of roasted bamboo shoots tilted and fell to the ground with a clang.

Li Zhan heard the noise and rushed over, ignoring the bamboo shoots and the stove. He grabbed Xia Juanjuan's hand and asked distressedly, "What's wrong? Are you burned? How can you be so careless!"

Upon closer look, she saw that her originally fair and slender hands were covered with blisters of varying sizes, and she couldn't help but gasp.

Seeing that Li Zhan was so nervous about her, Xia Juanjuan felt even angrier and more hurt. She tried to pull her hand back angrily, "Let go! It's okay!"

"What's the problem? You've got blisters all over your body!" Lizhan frowned and scolded coldly, while he domineeringly pulled her out of the door and used the snow in the yard to give her ice.

Xia Juanjuan was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but she was not strong enough to defeat her opponent. She could only be dragged outside by the hand, gritting her teeth and sulking.

After using snow to freeze for a while, Li Zhan pulled Xia Juanjuan back into the house and made her sit on the kang. He got up and went to the small basket where Xia Juanjuan put needle and thread items, took out a needle, and burned the tip on the stove to disinfect it.

Xia Juanjuan had a bad feeling in her heart and subconsciously put her hands behind her back. She didn't care about getting angry anymore and looked up at him in fear: "You...what are you doing..."

Lizhan held the needle and said seriously, "Of course I'm picking out the blisters. If I don't pick out the big ones, it will be very slow!"

Xia Juanjuan shook her head desperately: "I won't! It doesn't matter if it gets better or not! It will get better in a few days!"

Just thinking about the red-hot needle tip about to pierce her hand, Xia Juanjuan felt the pain in advance!

She now began to feel that she didn't feel any pain when she was burned before, and even gave up on herself by allowing herself to get burned more. She was simply the biggest idiot in the world!

It wasn't her who made the mistake, so why would she torture herself for a bastard?

Li Zhan sighed and said, "It's okay if you don't want to tear it open, but you have to bandage it up. You are not allowed to do anything else before it heals!"

Xia Juanjuan protested: "It's just a few blisters. Why are you so serious? Why are you bandaging it? We don't have any bandages or gauze at home..."

Before she finished her words, she saw Li Zhan had already taken out the bandages she had roughly prepared for home use with ease.

When it comes to investigation capabilities, I'm afraid no one can compare to Lizhan.

Xia Juanjuan has a very bad temper.

She couldn't help but be thankful that she had the space, otherwise if she wanted to hide something, this bastard would find it in no time!

But...I guess he won't have the chance again in the future.

"Don't be surprised! If I wrap my hands with bandages, what will you do with all the bamboo shoots you dug? They will be ruined if they are not dried!" Xia Juanjuan made an excuse.

Lizhan was very determined: "Then pick the bamboo shoots. Don't worry about the bamboo shoots. Even if you can move your hands, you won't be allowed to touch them. I'll dry them."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

Li Zhan looked at her and said, "Choose whether to soak or wrap. It's up to you."

Xia Juanjuan thought about her future plans, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then let's pick a bubble."

Xia Juanjuan kept her eyes closed throughout the whole process, and turned her head away, not daring to look. She was afraid of injections, infusions, and blood draws before she traveled through time, and now she was afraid of picking bubbles.

Fortunately, Lizhan chose a few larger ones to make a puncture to let the liquid inside flow out, and then disinfected it with alcohol. The pain was so severe that Xia Juanjuan couldn't hold back her tears.

After clearing the bubbles, Lizhan picked up the bandage.

Xia Juanjuan's eyes widened: "You! You are cheating! You agreed not to wrap it up after picking bubbles!"

Li Zhan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Are you stupid? A broken blister is more likely to be infected than an unbroken one. Of course it needs to be bandaged."

Xia Juanjuan: “…”

Li Zhan tried to hold back his laughter. Somehow, he suddenly found that bullying his young wife a little seemed... quite fun.

"I only bandage the broken part of the blister, and leave the rest of the area unbandaged. It definitely won't affect my daily use of things."

Xia Juanjuan's resistance was futile, and she was still suppressed and injured with a strange bandage tied around her neck.

It's true that it's not fully covered, but several of my fingers were entangled so tightly that I couldn't even bend them, so it's no different from being fully covered.

It doesn't even affect the movements, it's just bullshit!

Lizhan met Xia Juanjuan's murderous gaze coldly and said, "Let's see if you dare to be careless in the future."

Xia Juanjuan took a deep breath and decided not to argue with him for the time being.

"Are you hungry? There's food in the pot, go heat it up and eat it yourself."

Only after you have eaten your fill can you talk calmly.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "My wife still loves me."

After saying that, he turned around and went to the kitchen to heat up the food.

Xia Juanjuan looked at his back, and for some reason, the feeling of desolation that she had felt when she was waiting for him to come back just now came back to her.

Daughter-in-law? Soon she won’t be…

Today’s meat buns are especially delicious. The filling is yellowish and doesn’t look like meat, but it tastes better than meat.

"Juanjuan, what's the filling of the meat buns today?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little guilty...

She forgot that what she brought out today was crab roe stuffed ...

"Oh... yes... it's stuffed with tofu and fish. It's the fish you caught with the kids at the river last time."

"Fish meat isn't yellow either..."

"It must be fish eggs that got mixed in..."

"Oh...it's quite delicious." Li Zhan concluded, thus ending the topic.

After lunch, Li Zhan went to wash the dishes, then returned to the room and asked, "Where are the three kids? Aren't they supposed to stay home and study in the afternoon?"

Xia Juanjuan looked at Li Zhan, then took a deep breath and said, "Li Zhan, I have something to tell you."

Lizhan's brows wrinkled imperceptibly. He had felt that Xia Juanjuan was in a bad mood since he came back, and seemed a little listless.

Why are you still so serious now? What do you want to say to her?

Should she confess to him that she actually lied to him yesterday, that she did not stay at home but went into the mountains, and that she was indeed the one who pushed Xu Jiayuan down the mountain?

Lizhan spent the whole morning digging bamboo shoots on the mountain and finally figured it out.

No matter whether Xia Juanjuan lied to him or not, or whether she ignored her own safety and faced Xu Jiayuan alone, as long as she didn't say anything, he planned to pretend not to know.

If she wanted to confess, he wouldn't blame her.

It’s all because he didn’t give her enough sense of security, otherwise why would she go to seek revenge on Xu Jiayuan on her own?

Xia Juanjuan looked at Lizhan and said seriously, "Lizhan, let's get a divorce."
