Chapter 22

"Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it. How can you treat my beautiful wife like a donkey?" Ever since Cheng Yeran guessed that the fans called Shen Yuntang "wife", he liked to call him that to tease him and see his reaction.
He wanted to know how the idol would react when someone called him wife. He was quite curious.
After hearing what he said, Shen Yuntang stood up and said, "Don't always call me like that. It's disgusting."
"You don't like people calling you like that." Cheng Yeran nodded thoughtfully.
Shen Yuntang was in a panic, knocking on the door and pulling the grass.

She said with ease and blushing, "I don't like it. I hate your tone of voice."
"Do you hate my tone? Or do you hate me calling you my beautiful wife?" Cheng Yeran saw that he was embarrassed and couldn't help teasing him, "I call you my beautiful wife in a low voice? Wife. Do you still hate it like this?"
Shen Yuntang pushed him away forcefully, "I've already told you not to call me that anymore. Don't keep on doing that."
Shen Yuntang ran away in a panic, poking the little chicken's head with his finger angrily, "I asked him if he wanted to do it, and he said no. I told him to have a child, but he was not in a hurry. He is very good at teasing people. He really wants to piss me off to death!"
He has always wanted a child. In his previous life, he gave birth to a child, but he couldn't even hold the child, let alone hear the child call him "Dad". He also didn't have the opportunity to participate in the child's growth. If he could give birth to a child in this life, he could make up for all the regrets of his previous life.
But he had already mentioned it twice and didn't have the courage to mention it for the third time. He was still holding back on his temper. Why was he the one to bring it up every time? Was he a despicable person in Cheng Yeran's heart? I think I love him so much that I want to do that kind of thing with him again and again.
Thinking of this, he became even angrier. Wouldn’t Cheng Yeran think that he loved him terribly? Why does Cheng Yeran think of him like this?
Cheng Yeran just came in after finishing work outside. Seeing him staring at the newly bought chicks, he also came over and said, "These little guys are so cute and fluffy, but do they need to be kept in the house? Ah, is that just poop?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuntang pushed him aside. He was stunned. He had never been treated like this before. "What's wrong?"
"Stay away from me, I'm upset." Shen Yuntang went out carrying the box containing the chicks.
He was in a very upset mood right now, especially when he thought that Cheng Yeran didn't like him and might even laugh at him in his heart, this feeling of upset reached its peak.
He's already married, but he doesn't do anything. What's the point of getting married?
If we hadn't fallen into the river together...
Thinking of this, Shen Yuntang couldn't help but sigh. If they hadn't fallen into the river together, he would not have been able to escape the suffering of his previous life. He was obviously living a better life than in his previous life, so why did he want more?
In his previous life, he was looked down upon, insulted, despised, and beaten by Xia Xiaowu...
Cheng Yeran is a very good partner in this life. Even if the other party doesn’t like him, it’s not bad to live together.
The incident of falling into the water was not only a loss for him, but Cheng Yeran also couldn't marry the person he liked.
For a man who likes women, marrying a boy must be a troublesome thing.
Both of them have lost the right to choose. He is angry, and Cheng Yeran might also be sulking in his heart.
He went to the vegetable garden and weeded while comforting himself, and finally he calmed himself down.
However, after he returned, he did not have any communication with Cheng Yeran, and Cheng Yeran did not take the initiative to talk to him, which made him feel even more awkward.
When they slept at night, the two of them were further apart than usual. He pulled at the quilt and suggested that it would be better to make two quilts. That way, even if they were back to back during a quarrel, there would be no air leakage through the quilt.
Shen Yuntang secretly looked back at Cheng Yeran, only seeing his back. He had suddenly pushed him twice in the afternoon, which probably made him angry. He didn't know if they would have another chance to make a quilt together, let alone if they could reconcile.
At times like this, Shen Yuntang remembered the good things Cheng Yeran had done to him. Many times, Cheng Yeran stood in front of him and protected him behind him. Although he was going crazy towards others, he actually protected him very well.
If Cheng Yeran died in the future and someone made things difficult for him again, he wouldn't know what to do.
He was scared just thinking about it, let alone facing it in person.
They had just had a quarrel and were still ignoring each other, but he began to feel reluctant to see Cheng Yeran die.
I still have to give birth to a baby quickly! This thought came up again.
Time is limited. After Cheng Yeran's death, at least leaving behind a child will not only give him a companion, but also help pass on the Cheng family's bloodline.
He turned over and thought that if he didn't marry Cheng Yeran, the Cheng family would be extinct. Why didn't Cheng Yeran worry about leaving a descendant and let him worry about it?
Originally, it was Cheng Yeran who was wrong during the day. She clearly didn't like him, but she kept calling him in such a familiar way. He asked for a beating and deserved to be pushed away by him.
He had managed to coax himself into submission in the afternoon, but now he became annoyed again when he thought that he had to work alone on the child's affairs.
…
The next day, the two of them were still busy with their own things and there was no communication between them, but they would glance at each other and then quickly look away, not staying for long and not letting the other notice.
Shen Yuntang noticed that Cheng Yeran was standing in front of the stone mill with a pot of soaked beans in his hand. He didn't move for a long time. He looked confused and definitely didn't know how to use the stone mill.
He looked at it for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. He stood up and wanted to go over to help, but found that Cheng Yeran had already figured out how to use it. He quickly sat down again, his palms sweating with nervousness.
You can't take the initiative at times like this. I always feel like whoever speaks first will lose.
He really couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, so while Cheng Yeran was grinding the beans, he took a bucket and went to the river to fetch water.
These days, Cheng Yeran has been fetching water. Cheng Yeran always says that cooking is a hassle, and washing clothes is also a delicate job. Cheng Yeran washed clothes twice, but both times he couldn't wash them clean, not to mention cooking. He was lucky that he didn't set the kitchen on fire.
Shen Yuntang was left to do the laundry and cooking, while Cheng Yeran took over the tasks of fetching water, chopping wood and washing dishes.
Today Shen Yuntang wanted to get out and get some quiet, so he ran to the river to fetch some water.
It was a cloudy day today and it looked like it was going to rain heavily soon. There was no one by the river. He had just filled two buckets of water when he heard someone calling his name from behind.
He recognized it as Xia Xiaowu's voice and was so scared that he almost dropped the bucket into the river.
He turned his head warily, looking at Xia Xiaowu with the carrying pole in his hand.
"Don't be nervous." Xia Xiaowu took a few steps towards him, but didn't get too close. He stopped about five or six steps away. "Do you have to fetch water every day? How can I give such a physical job to a weak boy like you?"
Xia Xiaowu sighed and said, "It's all my fault. I failed to protect you. If I were the one marrying you, I would never let you do this kind of work."
Shen Yuntang sneered, thinking that he had done a lot of physical work in his previous life, and his hands were rough, cracked and deformed. Xia Xiaowu disliked his hands because they were too ugly, and always told him to hide his hands in his sleeves and not show them in front of him.
Now that he is married to Cheng Yeran, his hands are as long and straight as before he got married, without any deformation.
Xia Xiaowu interpreted his sneer as a bitter smile, and comforted him: "If you are having a hard time, just tell me. I am willing to be your listener. Even if we can't get married, I don't want our marriage to end."
"Don't say things that make anyone uncomfortable. Don't block my way. I'm leaving." Shen Yuntang was scared by him in his previous life. Now he couldn't help shaking when he saw his body. Although he said he was leaving, he didn't dare to move.
"I know you're worried about people gossiping about you. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about us." Xia Xiaowu took out a small cloth bag from his arms and opened it to reveal a silver hairpin that was worn by a man. "Three years ago, I saw it in town and thought it would suit you. I also wanted to put it on your head on the wedding night. I wonder if I still have the chance now?"
Shen Yuntang watched him raise the silver hairpin and hand it towards him, then subconsciously took two steps back and stepped into the water. The cold river water soaked into his shoes.
Although he was very scared, he still saw the hairpin clearly. He had seen his cousin wearing it in his previous life. It turned out that it was given to him by Xia Xiaowu?
Didn’t my cousin marry Cheng Yeran in his previous life? Why is he wearing the hairpin given by Xia Xiaowu? Could it be that the two of them secretly...
He didn't dare to think further. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a joke in his previous life.
"Don't be afraid, just keep it and no one will know." Xia Xiaowu wanted to move forward, but suddenly a hand reached out from behind and snatched the hairpin away.
Cheng Yeran walked over holding the hairpin and pulled Shen Yuntang from the river to the shore, protecting her behind him. Then he turned to Xia Xiaowu and said, "You gave it to me? It's silver, why not gold? Do you think my wife is not worthy of it?"
