Chapter 35
35
Xia Xiaowu's face looked very ugly. He thought he had done it very secretly, but was caught by Cheng Yeran. If this matter were to be exposed, how would he hold his head up in the village in the future? It will also affect his career.
No wonder Shen Yuntang was so scared just now. It turned out that he saw Cheng Yeran behind him. If Cheng Yeran hadn't come, he would have succeeded long ago.
His original plan was to comfort Shen Yuntang first. No boy could resist gentle sweet words. Then he would give her gifts when the time was right. He had already hooked up with several boys in this way. Shen Yuntang was just better looking than the others. She was still a boy, so he could easily win her over.
He hadn't used sweet words to coax Shen Yuntang before because he thought they would get married, so there was no need to try so hard to please her.
Last time he looked at Shen
йāиＦ
As soon as Yuntang glanced at him, Cheng Yeran went crazy on the spot. He didn't know what crazy thing Cheng Yeran would do this time.
Cheng Yeran was a head taller than him, and if he were to beat him up, he would have no power to fight back.
After the news got out, he was totally at fault, so he could only admit his mistake and make up an excuse: "Don't get me wrong, that wasn't a gift from me."
"You want to take it back after giving it away?" Cheng Yeran shook the hairpin in his palm. According to the silver price before he traveled through time, it should not be more than 500 yuan. "How many grams does it weigh? How dare you give it away when it's so light?"
"My wife asked me to bring this to him. She found that a hairpin was mixed up with his, so she asked me to bring it to him." Xia Xiaowu always felt inferior to Cheng Yeran in front of him. Normally, he was best at making up lies, but today he didn't have the confidence at all.
"Ah, since it originally belongs to my family, I will accept it." Cheng Yeran put the hairpin into his arms. He still remembered the rules. In addition to the NPCs, there were other guests, and the relationship between the guests was a competitive one. He suspected that Xia Xiaowu and Shen Yunfeng were also a group of guests, so they opposed them everywhere.
Maybe Xia Xiaowu wanted to use a hairpin to snatch his teammate away.
He can't let go of Shen Yuntang, such an excellent teammate. Without Shen Yuntang, he really can't take care of himself and might even starve to death.
Shen Yuntang originally wanted to say that it was not his thing and he had never seen it, but when he saw Cheng Yeran blinking at him, he shut his mouth.
Cheng Yeran looked at the direction where Xia Xiaowu left, feeling proud. Not only did he not let the other party snatch his teammate away, he also tricked the other party into giving him a hairpin. Did he win against the other party? One point for sure.
…
On the way back, Xia Xiaowu became more and more angry, but he was bound to meet villagers on the way back. In the eyes of the villagers, he had always been a well-mannered scholar. He could not go crazy like Cheng Yeran, who almost hurt himself along the way.
Shen Yunfeng was squatting in the yard washing dishes. When he saw him coming back, he asked casually, "It's about to rain. What did you do outside?"
"Mind your own business and stop nagging." Xia Xiaowu glanced at him, slammed the door and went back into the house.
Shen Yunfeng was frightened by his action, and a feeling of grievance surged up instantly, and tears fell into the basin.
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law passed by while eating melon seeds: "Hey, what's wrong? Whose little boy cried like this just because he washed a few dishes? He's so delicate."
"It's not like that," Shen Yunfeng wiped the tears from his face angrily, "He never yelled at me like this before we got married. I don't know what happened today."
"It must be because you're annoying. You started crying when you were yelled at. You're so hypocritical." The eldest sister-in-law shook her head in disdain. "Our family really married a ancestor back home."
Shen Yunfeng didn't dare to quarrel with her. He had just entered the house and didn't dare to offend his sister-in-law. Not only was he not angry, he also asked her with a flattering smile: "I can't wash so many bowls by myself. Sister-in-law, if you have time, can you help me wash some?"
When he was at home, he often acted like a spoiled child with Shen Yuntang and asked her to help him with the work. Although Shen Yuntang expressed helplessness and disdain, he would still help him.
But now the eldest sister-in-law rolled her eyes and had no intention of helping him at all: "This is the bowl you used at your wedding banquet yesterday. You are getting married, not me. Why should I help you?"
The sister-in-law patted the melon seed shells on her hands and left without mercy, leaving Shen Yunfeng looking at the bowls in front of him in despair.
Yesterday's wedding banquet used hundreds of sets of dishes. Before the wedding, he had no idea that he would have to wash all of them by himself.
He was already exhausted yesterday. The wedding process was complicated and tedious. His feet were rubbed raw and his head was dizzy. Xia Xiaowu also tormented him for half the night. He was almost falling apart. This morning, he was scolded by his mother-in-law and asked to wash the dishes. He didn't even have a bite of breakfast.
Before the marriage, Xia Xiaowu said that he would live a good life. However, when he was scolded by his mother-in-law, Xia Xiaowu did not help him at all. She even asked him to wash the dishes quickly so that he could return the borrowed dishes and chopsticks.
His tears fell into the basin. He had to live an unimaginable hard life on the first day of his marriage. Did his cousin live this kind of life in his previous life?
He was afraid of being seen by his sister-in-law again, so he quickly wiped the tears from his face. He felt so tired today because there were too many bowls used in the wedding banquet yesterday. He would not be like this again in the future.
He comforted himself in his heart that he would be the wife of a county magistrate in the future, with servants to serve her and he wouldn't have to dress or comb his hair himself, so what was wrong with washing a few dishes now? No matter what, he wants to live a life that his cousin will envy!
…
Cheng Yeran put the pole on his shoulders: "Didn't we agree before that I will fetch the water? Don't break the agreement."
He didn't hear Shen Yuntang's answer. He turned around and found that Shen Yuntang's eyes were red. He became nervous instantly: "What's wrong with you? You're not going to cry, are you? You..."
He stopped talking before he could finish, because Shen Yuntang suddenly leaned his head on his back, like a little animal, his nose twitching and making fragile crying sounds.
