Chapter 21 The Unlucky Wife 21



The cold young man turned into a clingy little dog, and the Wu family went from being surprised and curious at first to getting used to it and no longer being surprised.

Just at noon, the weather is gradually getting hotter as spring turns to summer.

I was wearing a thin shirt with the narrow sleeves rolled up high because it was too hot.

Wu's mother asked General Wu to prepare some cooling mung bean soup in the kitchen early in the morning and throw it into the well to cool it down. He wiped the sweat off his face with nimble hands.

In a short while, he finished and ran into the house. There was no other way, the sun outside was so scorching that it was unbearable.

The honest man had just stepped into the main room and into the shade, and had no time to catch his breath.

The door to the east wing seemed to be loose, and the gap between the doors revealed the intermittent whispers of the young couple.

"Come back to the village with me, ok~"

"Can we stop being angry? I think my performance these past two days should be okay. If you're still angry, I'll do whatever you say when we get back, okay? Okay!"

It was hot, so I opened the windows to let in some air. The cool and refreshing wind blew through the house, feeling very comfortable on my face and body.

Wu Yuer was originally sitting on the bed, but the hot weather was exhausting her, so Li Lansheng didn't feel the heat at all.

She took a step, and he followed her. She sat on the edge of the bed to avoid the heat, and he followed her without a moment's rest.

She sat down on the bamboo mat beside her. The sun was scorching outside, and she just sat there with her arms touching. She barely endured it.

Who knows where the young man learned this, but when his arm couldn't keep close to hers, he put his arm around her waist to coax her back.

The hot air blew on Wu Yuer's white cheeks, and half of her beautiful face was covered with bright red flowers.

I don’t know if it was because the sun was too strong outside, or because the young man was covered in heat, but his face was completely red.

"I'm not going back. If you're busy, go back by yourself."

Tired of being pestered, Wu Yuer walked away and sat down at the table.

The man lowered his eyes, looking down at the arm that was unable to hold the person in the air. He tried to grab with his slender and powerful hands, but of course he caught nothing.

Li Lansheng once again warned himself to be patient. He made a mistake, so wasn't it normal for his wife to be angry and give him the cold shoulder?

Why didn't she show disdain to others but only to him? It was because he was her own family member and her husband.

Husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, and there is no time when they don’t quarrel and get angry all day long.

It is truly commendable that the husband, who was always neglected and ignored by his wife, has taken the initiative to learn the unique skill of coaxing himself in a short period of time.

There have been frequent letters from the capital recently. It is not difficult for Li Lansheng to guess that the overall situation is about to be settled, and his return to Beijing to avenge his previous shame is just around the corner.

The result that he had been looking forward to day and night in the past, now that it had finally happened, Li Lansheng had lost his previous joy.

He suddenly seemed to have no desire to return to Beijing anymore. Things could not be changed by human power, and people from the capital came in waves.

It was inconvenient to handle the matter at the Wu family, and the husband, who was unable to coax his wife, returned to the house dejectedly.

Before leaving, I pulled her to the door and gave her some serious advice, saying that it was okay if she didn't go back, and that I would come over every day.

He looks helpless and indulgent, as if he really can't do anything to you. We are obviously very close, the distance from the village to the outside of the village. Is it necessary to be separated by life and death?

After finally getting rid of the extremely difficult Li Lansheng, I now just hope that the young man can come to his senses soon and return home early so that they can live a peaceful life.

How can things in the world be as we wish?

As soon as Li Lansheng left, Wu Yuer was as happy as a bird that had been set free, waving her wings and fluttering around.

Although Li Lansheng would come back every night, their positions took turns. He slept on the floor while Wu Yuer slept on the bed.

Even if he had to sleep on the floor after coming back, the young man still acted like he had gotten a good spot. He would come over every day without complaint to claim the spot and sleep soundly at night.

When it is hot during the day, Wu Yuer likes to go to the big tree at the entrance of the village to cool down, where the breeze is cool.

The children in the village who don’t sleep in the afternoon are used to going over to enjoy the cool air and play and have fun with Wu Yuer.

After lunch that day, she said goodbye to her parents, carried a small stool and strolled to the village entrance.

I thought I would meet some playful little kids.

As a result, Wu Yuer saw a familiar figure standing under the tree in the distance. She paused and looked at the young man who was looking at the intersection and smiled at her.

The breeze blew past, lifting my hair, and slowly approached. There was nothing else under the tree except Lu Shengping.

A polite girl squinting in the sunlight.

"Why is Mr. Lu here? Where are Lu Xiaoman and the others?"

Being careful to avoid taboos, the girl who had no intention of sitting down held the bench in her hand, thinking of saying a few words to deal with the situation, saying a few polite words and then leaving.

“I heard it that day.”

"ah!"

When Wu Yuer approached, the young man, who was smiling, seemed to be shy and timid and lowered his head.

He dared not look at the watery eyes of his beloved who was so close to him that disturbed his sleep and appetite in the middle of the night.

After reading it, I was afraid that the words I had prepared in my mind thousands of times would be scattered and unable to take shape.

The young man stared at Wu Yuer's clean shoe surface, mustering up his courage.

He took out the purse that he had been mending for days and nights, lifted the girl's hand without saying a word, and stuffed it into her palm.

Lu Shengping placed his palm on the back of Wu Yuer's hand. She could clearly feel the thin calluses on his palm pricking and itching, and Wu Yuer felt a little itchy as her fingertips trembled.

"I didn't mean to do that. That day, I went to give you some soothing herbs, and I overheard your conversation with Mr. Li. I didn't mean to do that."

He held her hand tightly, and she stared at the purse in her palm with a confused look, as if trying to make out his incoherent words.

After a moment of silence, Wu Yuer looked up and met the young man's nervous eyes.

"You heard it all! Then please keep it a secret. He and I don't want to make this a big deal.

You know, I don’t want my parents to worry about me.”

Lu Shengping: "I won't. I promise to keep my mouth shut. I won't tell anyone."

After receiving Lu Shengping's firm reply, Wu Yuer breathed a sigh of relief and finally had time to answer the remaining questions.

She looked at the purse in her hand. It was very delicate, with two lotus flowers embroidered on it and a flat red rope tied on it for easy hanging around the waist.

Wu Yuer pointed to the purse in her hand. She had only heard that when a man and a woman were in love, if a boy liked a girl from another family, he would either give her a hairpin or a purse.

The young master of the Lu family gave her a purse. Even though Wu Yuer was a carefree and dull person, she was very happy to see the young master's almost frank confession of his feelings.

Only then did the little girl feel her purse was burning.

"Please take it back. I can't have it. I really can't have it."

The lush green and vibrant tree was like a big umbrella, and the little light leaking through its shade fell on the fair and clear cheeks of the frightened little girl who pushed away and shook her head in panic.

She opened her eyes wide in panic and looked at him with watery eyes.

It seemed as if he was the one causing her trouble.

If he hadn't held her wrist tightly, put one hand on her palm, pressed it down through his purse, and prevented her from dropping the hot potato in her hand.

The gift that he had painstakingly prepared for several days and nights was rejected by his beloved, and Lu Sheng's eyes, which had always sparkled brightly, dimmed for a moment.

But he quickly adjusted his mood and pushed the purse towards the girl with a firmness that would not allow the girl to refuse.
