Chapter 16: Being pushed against the wall by the rough husband

The three little guys, the older one pulling the younger one, went out obediently.

There were only two people left in the room. Before Xia Juanjuan could ask Li Zhan what she wanted to say to him, Li Zhan suddenly approached her and forced her to retreat in panic. After two or three steps, she was forced with her back against the wall.

Li Zhan placed his muscular arm on the side of Xia Juanjuan's head, lowered his head slightly, and approached until their noses were within reach.

"You...what are you doing?"

Xia Juanjuan was so nervous that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Her long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly as she watched the battle.

Li Zhan stared at his extremely beautiful wife, sighed softly, and asked softly:

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you wanted to split up the family business? Were you afraid that I wouldn't agree?"

Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment, then she realized that although Li Zhan lied to Liu Lan to protect her and said that she had discussed it with him, he still cared about it in his heart.

She turned her face away feeling a little guilty: "No...no. I just...suddenly thought of it..."

Before she could finish her words, the man's big hand straightened her chin and forced her to look at him.

"A sudden thought? Where's the trickster?"

Lizhan was not fooled at all.

Her delicate cheeks could feel the warmth of the man's hands and the touch of the rough rope. She struggled but didn't break free and just went for it.

"Well... maybe I didn't tell you because I was afraid you wouldn't agree! You... you were in the army for nine years, and you were so stupid that you sent all your allowance back to your mother! I've only been married for one day, can I still expect you to disobey your mother and stand on my side?"

"What if I really don't agree?"

"Then I'll have to share it myself. At worst... I can work and earn a living on my own, and I won't spend your allowance!"

After listening to what Xia Juanjuan said, Li Zhan frowned and looked at her with complicated eyes for a while, feeling somewhat depressed.

His wife doesn't trust him and doesn't seem to rely on him much...

But he soon felt relieved.

Indeed, although they have obtained a marriage certificate and are husband and wife, they only met for the first time last night. It is too arrogant for him to expect Juanjuan to believe him.

Thinking of this, Li Zhan said sternly: "Juanjuan, I am your husband, your man, and I will stand by your side in the future. So, if you have any problems in the future, we can discuss it together, and you are not allowed to hide it from me, okay?"

Xia Juanjuan thought about Li Zhan's performance and felt that this man was clear-headed. He was not vague about scolding his second sister-in-law and his mother, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."

When Li Zhan heard this, he smiled and said, "This is my good daughter-in-law."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Xia Juanjuan's cherry lips, forcefully prying open her lips and tongue, and lingering with them.

Xia Juanjuan was stunned, then she reacted, her heart pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her chest!

I... was kissed!

Her first kiss!

"Hmm..." The man's stubble pricked his face, which was a bit painful, but he didn't seem to mind it.

She subconsciously raised her hand to push Li Zhan away, but when she touched the man's strong chest, she bounced back as if her hand was burned, and her cheeks became even redder.

Li Zhan's hands had already tightly grasped her two slender wrists and pressed them on top of her head.

It was a long time before Xia Juanjuan was released. Her lips were red and swollen from being bitten, and she leaned against the wall, gasping weakly.

While panting, she was still muttering in her heart.

Isn't this man injured and unable to do anything? This is too good...

But after thinking about it, Xia Juanjuan figured it out.

I can't do that anymore, but after all, he is a man, so I guess he still has some thoughts about that...

Thinking of this, Xia Juanjuan looked at Li Zhan with some pity, and once again felt sorry for such a handsome man suffering such an injury.

Lizhan actually wanted to continue, but in the end he endured it with his amazing willpower.

Firstly, it's in broad daylight now and it's not appropriate.

Secondly, his mission this time was very dangerous. If anything happened and he couldn't come back, she was still young and could still remarry.

It is better for a virgin to remarry than to lose her virginity and be spoiled by a new husband in the future...

Although, he felt uncomfortable thinking that she might marry another man...

Xia Juanjuan lowered her head, too embarrassed to look at Li Zhan again, and said, "Well...it's almost noon. I...I'll go cook."

Lizhan's face also turned red, and he said, "Ah... um!"

Xia Juanjuan took out flour and sweet potato flour from the rations she got from the division of the family, and also took two sweet potatoes and three eggs and went to the kitchen.

Liu Lan had been paying attention to the situation in Xia Juanjuan's room. When she saw Xia Juanjuan come out, she naturally followed her to the kitchen immediately.

Xia Juanjuan ignored her, scooped up some water, mixed most of the flour and a little bit of sweet potato flour together, kneaded it vigorously, and then rolled it into a wide dough sheet with a rolling pin.

According to her idea, she didn't want to mix sweet potato flour into it, but using only white flour would be too ostentatious in this era.

Once she builds her own kitchen, she won't have to worry about these things anymore.

But even so, Liu Lan on the side still shouted loudly:

"Oh! Zhan's daughter-in-law! Are you tired of eating this meal? You use so much white flour to roll noodles! I've said my ugly words before, it's winter soon, and that's all the food we've allocated to you! If you finish it all and ask us for more, we won't have any!"

Xia Juanjuan sneered at Liu Lan and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law! I was the one who proposed the division of the family. If I ask you for a bite to eat, I won't be named Xia!"

Liu Lan was speechless after hearing this, and she looked at Xia Juanjuan, who was a spendthrift, with angry expression.

That’s all, and then he cracked three more eggs.

She didn't get any vegetables. Although there were enough in the space, she had no reason to take them out, so she would just have to make do with this meal.

Then she washed two sweet potatoes and buried them in the ashes of the earthen stove.

He took a few dried corn bags from the earthen stove as kindling, struck a match and lit the corn bags. After the fire started, he quickly added some dry branches, corn kernels and other firewood.

Heat oil in a wok, fry three eggs, scoop them out, then pour water to cook the noodles.

After a while, the scrambled eggs and noodles were ready, and the two sweet potatoes buried in the earthen stove were also baked.

Xia Juanjuan scooped a big bowl for each of the five members of the family. The egg filling was not enough, but fortunately there were roasted sweet potatoes.

Two adults and three children can eat enough.

The three little guys looked at the sweet-smelling roasted sweet potatoes on the table and the egg noodles in the bowl, their eyes lit up and their mouths watered!

"Brother! Egg noodles! And roasted sweet potatoes!" Xiao Wu and Bei Bei were as happy as if it was New Year's Day.

In the past six months, they have rarely been able to eat egg noodles or even thicker corn porridge. Every time, Wang Guixiang would only serve them a little corn porridge and then mix it with some boiled water to fill their stomachs!

Li Wen frowned and looked at the food on the table, then looked at Xia Juanjuan, and suddenly said in a childish voice: "Today is not New Year's Day, why did you cook so much food? Aren't you going to live your life in the future? You spendthrift woman!"

He actually didn't quite understand what the term "spendthrift woman" meant, but his father used to scold his mother like that, so he remembered it.

Xia Juanjuan and Li Zhan were both stunned and looked at Li Wen. Then they both couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Li Zhan bent his finger and tapped Li Wen's head lightly, suppressing his laughter as he scolded him: "You little brat! Who taught you that?"

Li Wen felt pain, pouted his lips, raised his hands to his head, and said unconvincedly: "That's what my dad said about my mom..."

Li Zhan said sternly: "This is my wife! I am the only one who has the right to say this. If you want to say anything, wait until you grow up and get married!"
