At home.
Zhou Xiaoye went home early and started stewing the pig's trotters. She also quickly fed the chickens and pigs and swept the yard.
The pig's trotters weren't ready yet. After thinking for a moment, she blushed and went to Li Weidong's room.
Deep down, she was a very traditional girl. Once she got engaged to Li Weidong, she was completely committed to him and accepted her role as Li's daughter-in-law.
Since she is a wife, it is only natural for her to take care of her husband's daily life.
Zhou Xiaoye slipped into Li Weidong's room, thinking of the underwear with several holes that she had seen when she did laundry last time.
Actually, the Li family isn't short of money; if their underwear is torn, they should buy new ones.
However, Zhou Xiaoye had no money. Although Li Weidong had said that she could take any money in the room, she couldn't bring herself to take money to buy things for Li Weidong.
More importantly, it's really too embarrassing for a virgin like her to buy underwear for a man.
So she wanted to get her pants mended.
Zhou Xiaoye searched the room and found two pairs of ripped trousers, a pair of underwear, and a shirt, all of which had obviously been worn for quite some time.
"Brother Weidong is really something. His own clothes are all torn, yet he still buys me so many clothes."
She complained, but secretly she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
The man's heart and eyes are filled with thoughts of her; this feeling is sweeter than eating honey!
Zhou Xiaoye found a sewing kit, sat on the edge of the bed and started sewing, a smile never leaving her lips.
When she was in the Zhou family, she did all kinds of chores, and mending clothes was naturally no challenge for her.
However, she couldn't help but blush when she was mending the underwear, but luckily she was alone at home, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.
But who would have thought that she was so focused on sewing that she didn't even realize Li Weidong and the others had returned.
"Huh, isn't Ono home?"
Li Xiaoli became curious and rushed to the kitchen: "It smells so good! We're having pig's trotters for lunch today, what a treat!"
Li Weidong was also a little confused. He put down his hoe and prepared to go back to his room to change his clothes.
As soon as he opened the door, he and Zhou Xiaoye stared at each other in disbelief.
Zhou Xiaoye was startled, and the needle in his hand immediately pierced his finger, from which bright red blood seeped out.
"hiss!"
She gasped.
Li Weidong panicked and rushed forward, shouting, "Don't move!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Zhou Xiaoye's hand and put her injured finger into her mouth.
As the taste of blood filled his mouth, he realized just how ambiguous the matter was.
"Brother Weidong, you..."
Zhou Xiaoye was already so ashamed that she wanted to disappear, but she didn't dare to pull her hand away. She could only keep her head down and felt like her whole body was burning up.
Li Weidong seemed to snap out of a daze and quickly opened his mouth, but still held her hand and said, "How could you be so careless? Does it still hurt?"
The small wound has long since disappeared without even leaving a trace.
Zhou Xiaoye felt even more embarrassed as he held her hand, lowering her head and speaking in a very soft voice: "No...it doesn't hurt anymore."
"That's good, you scared me!"
Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be so careless in the future... Wait, what are you doing...?"
He saw the underwear Zhou Xiaoye was holding in her other hand, and his face instantly turned bright red: "Xiaoye, you...you..."
I could forgive her for doing laundry last time, but she actually saw me doing it again this time?!
Li Weidong cursed himself silently for a long time, then secretly vowed that he could not delay any longer this time.
No matter how busy I am, I have to go and buy new underwear!
Zhou Xiaoye then realized that she was still holding Li Weidong's underwear, and immediately felt ashamed. She stammered, "I... I saw that your pants were torn, so... I thought I'd help you mend them..."
"No need, no need, these pants aren't worth much, I'll just buy new ones later!"
As Li Weidong spoke, he snatched the underwear and casually stuffed it under the mattress.
Zhou Xiaoye panicked: "Wait a minute, it's not knotted yet, the needle's still on!"
As he spoke, he reached out to take it.
Both of them were in a flustered state, and when they touched each other, they bumped into each other.
Just then, Zhao Xiulian pushed open the door and came in: "Weidong, Xiaoye, she..."
The scene before her eyes startled her, but then she burst out laughing.
He laughed as he closed the door, saying, "I see, the pig's trotters need to stew for a while before we can eat them, so don't worry!"
Although this daughter-in-law is not yet of marriageable age, sixteen is not young. If we go back a few decades, sixteen-year-old children would be running all over the place!
So if the relationship is good, she would be happy to have a grandchild soon.
Li Xiaoli leaned closer: "Mom, what's my brother doing in the room? Where's Xiaoye? Is she in there too?"
"Go away, get out of here. What business is it of yours, kid, with adult matters?"
Zhao Xiulian chased them away.
Li Xiaoli retorted, "What kid? Xiao Ye is only a year older than me, how am I a kid?!"
"I'll beat you up if you say that again!"
"Mom, you're being unfair again!"
As the voices came in, Zhou Xiaoye's face turned so red it looked like it could bleed.
Li Weidong was also a little embarrassed, and worried that the needle in his pants might prick Zhou Xiaoye again, so he quickly said, "Find the needle first."
"Don't bother mending the pants, I'll just buy new ones later."
Zhou Xiaoye gave a soft "hmm" and reached out to take the underwear and tie the loose thread.
As luck would have it, Li Weidong also went to get it, and their hands touched, only to bounce away as if electrocuted.
Looking at the shy and timid Zhou Xiaoye, Li Weidong's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but take her hand.
"Brother Weidong..."
Zhou Xiaoye was startled.
Li Weidong didn't dare to do anything. He just squeezed her hand briefly and then let go. He hurriedly got up and said, "I'll go out first. You can come out to eat after you've put the needle and thread away!"
If he didn't leave soon, he was really afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back!
Zhou Xiaoye watched his retreating figure as if he were fleeing, and couldn't help but smile.
I never expected Brother Weidong to have such a shy side!
During the meal, Li Xiaoli's eyes kept darting between the two of them.
"Why are you staring at things instead of eating properly?"
Li Weidong's eyes widened.
Li Xiaoli looked suspicious: "Brother, what were you and Xiaoye doing in the room just now? I wanted to go and see, but Mom scolded me. You two wouldn't be..."
Zhou Xiaoye's face flushed red: "Lili!"
Li Weidong also chimed in, "Shut up!"
Even Zhao Xiulian couldn't help but pinch her: "You brat, even a pig's trotter can't shut you up, huh?"
Li Xiaoli immediately felt wronged: "What did I say? I just wanted to ask if my brother and Xiao Ye were hiding in the room plotting how to hide my extracurricular books!"
"All you do is insult me!"
She threw down her chopsticks and started to get angry: "Every time I say you're biased, you don't believe me."
"If you ask me, they might as well just give me a new sister-in-law!!!"
