Chapter 6 You are... my new daughter-in-law, right?
Wang Guixiang immediately said, "Why not? Although family disgrace should not be made public, you should have heard about it before you got married, right? It's not that Second Sister-in-law said it badly, but Fourth Brother can't have children after he was injured! You should take advantage of these three children who are still young and don't remember anything, and raise them from childhood. When they grow up, they will definitely be filial to you and Fourth Brother!"
After the death of Li Jun, the eldest brother of the Li family, the two brick and tile houses were occupied by the second branch of the family, so the three siblings are now living with Wang Guixiang's family. The three children are growing up, and every day they are raised means three more mouths to feed!
Wang Guixiang dreamed at night about getting rid of these three burdens as soon as possible.
Seeing that Xia Juanjuan was silent, she could not help but continue, "Moreover, having more children means more blessings. Fourth sister-in-law, you don't have to go through the pain of childbirth, and you have both sons and daughters. This is a great blessing!"
Xia Juanjuan glanced at Wang Guixiang coldly and said with a smile, "My second sister-in-law said that having many children means more blessings, so I dare not adopt a child. Wouldn't that mean I would take away all the blessings from my second sister-in-law?"
Wang Guixiang looked anxious when she heard this: "Fourth sister-in-law, I am doing this for your own good! If you don't support me, I will be alone and helpless when I am old, and it will be too late for you to regret it!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "If Second Sister-in-law says so, I can adopt the child. I heard that the eldest brother left two tiled houses. Second Sister-in-law was vying to raise three children, so mother-in-law made the decision and the two tiled houses were given to Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law's family. Now Second Sister-in-law wants me to adopt the child, so does she intend to give the two tiled houses to me as well?"
Wang Guixiang didn't expect Xia Juanjuan to directly mention the two tiled houses, and she was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he stammered, "I... I have also raised these three cubs for half a year. The food I have used... is enough to buy two tiled houses. Why... why should I give them to you!"
Xia Juanjuan sneered twice and said nothing more.
The three little kids are named Liwen, Liwu and Libeibei. The two older brothers, Liwen and Liwu, are five and four years old respectively, and the younger sister, Libeibei, is only three years old. The three little ones are all wearing ill-fitting, patched and ragged clothes, and they look pale and skinny. What can they eat to eat up two tiled houses in half a year?
Liu Lan also blamed Wang Guixiang for being too impatient. She said without restraint, "That's enough! Shut up! After all, the fourth daughter-in-law just came in tonight, and Zhan'er is not at home. Let's talk about the adoption of a child later! You are so impatient. If the third child stays in your house for a few more days, how much more food can he eat? You have to talk about it tonight!"
As she spoke, Liu Lan turned around and smiled at Xia Juanjuan, "Daughter-in-law Zhan, it's getting late, you should go to bed."
Wang Guixiang was scolded and dared not say anything more. However, she was still not convinced and said in a weird tone: "Sister-in-law, this quilt belongs to our room. Be careful when you sleep on it and don't dirty it! You can return it to us in a few days. There's no rush!"
When Xia Juanjuan heard this, she almost laughed out of anger.
Wow! This family is really awesome! They prepared a borrowed quilt for their son's wedding?
After they left, Xia Juanjuan tried to close the door first, but the iron buckle on the door was broken. Xia Juanjuan had no choice but to block the door with a horse hat.
Then, she quickly took out a few chocolates from the space and ate them to restore some of her strength. Then she took out two big meat buns and ate them ravenously to recover.
Although she was still hungry, it was not good for a body that had been hungry for a long time to suddenly eat too much. Xia Juanjuan did not dare to eat any more. Instead, she went to the Space Ranch, squeezed a glass of fresh milk, and drank it.
Afterwards, Xia Juanjuan took some stomach medicine.
Then, with a look of disgust, she threw the quilt and the coverlet on the floor at the door, and then took out a new cotton quilt and mattress from the space and laid them out.
After thinking about it, she still couldn't bear to go to bed without taking a shower, so Xia Juanjuan quickly entered the room and took a shower.
When she enters the space, she can also sense what is happening outside at all times, so if there is any disturbance, she can come out immediately.
After taking a shower, Xia Juanjuan took out the Yunnan Baiyao again. She was only wearing the underwear of women of that era - a small bellyband, and applied the medicine to the wounds on her body.
While I was painting, there was a sound of someone pushing the door!
Xia Juanjuan's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Then, almost instinctively, he put all the new cotton quilt, mattress, Yunna white medicine, etc. into the space.
After such a delay, the door was completely opened.
The man standing at the door was wearing a military coat and a military cap. His appearance was not very clear, but he was at least 1.85 meters tall, with a strong and upright figure, and looked very manly.
Xia Juanjuan looked at the man in astonishment.
What's going on? Who is this man?!
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Xia Juanjuan shuddered. Only then did she notice that she was only wearing a small bellyband and a pair of underpants. Her snow-white shoulders and plump, murderous weapons were clearly visible to the man!
"Ah!" Xia Juanjuan screamed, and quickly used her clothes to cover her chest, looking at the man in horror.
The man was also stunned. Apparently he didn’t expect to see something so...beautiful the first time he entered the room.
Hearing Xia Juanjuan's scream, he quickly closed the door, then walked to the kang in two steps as fast as a rabbit, and covered her mouth before Xia Juanjuan uttered a second scream!
He also grabbed her two slender wrists firmly with one hand, effectively blocking her struggle!
The series of movements were as smooth as flowing water and took no more than five seconds!
Xia Juanjuan was stunned by the man who suddenly approached her in just a few seconds.
What the hell... who on earth is this man? Why did he run into her new house and act like a hooligan in the middle of the night?
The man seemed to have guessed her doubts and quickly whispered, "Don't shout! Don't wake up the family. I'm Lizhan. You are... my new daughter-in-law, right?"
Xia Juanjuan was stunned for a moment and looked up at Li Zhan.
Lizhan? Isn't that the name of the husband she married?
Why did he come back so late at night?
Didn’t mother-in-law say that he was busy on a mission in the army and wouldn’t be back in the near future?
Li Zhan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the wife his family blindly married him was so beautiful!
Big, bright, clear eyes, a tall, small nose, and slightly parted cherry lips, like a peach on a branch in summer. Because of years of farm work, the exposed skin was a little tanned, but it was still much whiter than other girls he had seen, and her skin felt smooth to the touch...
Thinking of this, Li Zhan couldn't help but look downwards...
Xia Juanjuan struggled with her hands but failed to break free.
Because her hands were restrained, the clothes that were originally covering her body slipped down, revealing her small bellyband and smooth back again.
Li Zhan lowered his head, and the angle was just right to see the deep hook. Suddenly, he felt a dry cough in his throat. He quickly looked away and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't shout, and I will let you go. Do you understand?"
