"I'm fine."
Yu Jiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to worry.
"It's good that you're alright, you scared me to death."
Xu Zijiang pinched Yu Jiu's fair earlobe again. He breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how worried he was when someone went to inform him that his petite, lovely, and delicate wife was being wronged.
Yu Jiu, a petite, charming, and seemingly boneless young wife: ...
Was he really describing himself? Comrade Yu Jiu posed this profound question.
"You, and you too, you and your wife can fight all you want, that's none of my business. But if anyone dares to drag my wife into this again, I won't be polite to you. Sending you to carry manure is the least I can do. I'll throw you into the latrine and let you see for yourselves whether you're any different from the latrine. Stop spouting nonsense all day long!"
And no hitting the children! If I hear or see you hitting Zhaodi and the others again, you'd better watch out! You have nothing better to do than have children, and then you beat them. What, doesn't hitting hurt? Want me to hit you all once and see who has the bigger fist?
Xu Zijiang held Yu Jiu's hand, staring at them fiercely. He clenched his fist, as if he could easily knock the couple away without bothering to teach them a lesson.
Li Kang and Chen Liangdi shrank back and nodded like quails, indicating that they understood. The two were so scared that they didn't utter a sound.
"Everyone, disperse. Zhao Di, don't be afraid. If your parents wrong you again or beat you without permission, just come and tell me, and I will stand up for you."
Xu Zijiang looked down at Li Zhaodi and said seriously.
The names of the six sisters, Zhao Di and Zhao Di, were simply appalling. She was the eldest sister and was called Zhao Di. The names in order were Lai Di, Pan Di, Xiang Di, Nian Di, and Shi Di. They were even worse than her mother Liang Di's name.
"Okay, thank you, Captain, thank you, Yu Zhiqing."
With tears in her eyes, Li Zhaodi nodded gratefully. "Waaah, I'm so grateful to Yu Zhiqing and the team leader today, otherwise I would definitely have been beaten up."
Yu Jiu ruffled her hair, said nothing, and left with Xu Zijiang. The others followed, leaving nothing to watch. But the captain was really domineering just now, and his mood changed so quickly.
Sigh, if they were Yu Zhiqing, they would also like a team leader like him. He's so manly and makes you feel safe. He protects you without saying a word!
At first, everyone envied Xu Zijiang for finding such a beautiful wife as Yu Jiu. Now, everyone is starting to envy Yu Jiu for finding such a capable and protective husband as Xu Zijiang. It just goes to show that not only is fashion a circle, but so is envy.
It all comes back to the two of them.
"Why did you suddenly decide to pick lotus leaves? Didn't I say I was going to pick them?"
Back home, Xu Zi pulled Yu Jiu into his arms, rested his chin on Yu Jiu's head, and asked.
"Since I had nothing to do anyway, I thought I'd go pick some lotus leaves and try to brew some lotus leaf tea. Even if we don't sell it, we can drink it ourselves to cool off in the summer."
Yu Jiu said dejectedly, "Who knew I'd run into this mess? She's quite picky, choosing Zhao Di precisely from the crowd. But then again, even if she hadn't let Zhao Di lead the way, Zhao Di probably wouldn't have escaped a beating today."
"If you're bored, can I make a request of you?"
Xu Zijiang took Yu Jiu's fair earlobe into his mouth and gently nibbled at it, mumbling indistinctly.
"What do you want? Stop constantly biting me, are you some kind of reincarnated dog?!"
Yu Jiu smiled and pushed Xu Zijiang's head away, getting up from his embrace and no longer giving him a chance to take advantage.
"Make me a pair of shoes, or a piece of clothing. We have a custom here that before a woman gets married, she has to make a pair of shoes or a piece of clothing for her husband."
Xu Zi eagerly said that he also wanted to wear the shoes and clothes his wife made by hand. However, he hadn't mentioned it before because he was worried about tiring her out.
"What? Why didn't you tell me sooner! We don't have this custom where I'm from. I thought..."
"Well, there's still time. I'll make you a pair of shoes first. What size do you wear? I know how to make shoes, and it'll be quick for me. After the shoes are done, if there's still time, I'll make you the clothes."
Yu Jiu immediately began making plans with great enthusiasm.
I wear size 44.
Xu Zi stretched out his foot so Yu Jiu could see it.
"Wow, your feet are huge, hahaha."
Yu Jiu got playful and took off her shoes, stepping on his feet. She wore size 37 shoes, and after taking them off, her fair and rounded toes were revealed. They were delicate and beautiful, forming a stark contrast with Xu Zijiang's large feet.
Xu Zijiang watched, his eyes gleaming with desire. He took off his shoes and let Yu Jiu stomp on his feet affectionately, which he seemed to enjoy! His Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly, indicating that he was planning to do something naughty again.
However, Yu Jiu anticipated his actions and quickly put on her shoes and ran away.
"Don't do anything reckless! I won't agree!"
Yu Jiu was determined to teach Xu Zijiang, that big scoundrel, a lesson about his lust. Otherwise, how would they live after marriage? Would they spend every day in bed? Absolutely not!
"Since you have so much energy, let's go to the black market tonight and make some money!"
ยทยทยทยท
Xu Zijiang sighed. It seemed he wasn't rich enough. His young wife was always thinking about making money and didn't want him to get close to her.
"Come here, I have something to tell you."
Xu Zi waved to her.
"You're up to something again? Don't lie to me! If you dare to lie to me, I'll really get angry and never talk to you again!"
Yu Jiu grumbled and raised her chin, but still came over. Last time, Xu Zijiang said that he had nothing left to hide from her and would never lie to her again. If he did, she would definitely not let him off the hook.
"I'm not kidding you, I'm planning to go to another province."
"Hmm? Why? Are you going to visit relatives?"
Yu Jiu was stunned, her clear almond-shaped eyes blinking slowly. Xu Zi took the opportunity to pull her back into his arms, hugging and kissing her.
"No, I'm going to earn money and also to buy you a betrothal gift. It's very difficult to buy anything here. Not only do you need money and ration coupons, but you also need connections. And you have to wait. Things like sewing machines and radios could take a year or two to buy, since they're in short supply."
Xu Zijiang explained that he had also worked in the resale business and knew very well how popular these items were. Some people could wait for months without getting them, and even if they did, someone else might snatch them up at a higher price. So he planned to make the trip himself and buy some good food and nice clothes for Yu Jiu.
Money is meant to be spent. Before he had a wife, he could live a rough life, but he couldn't let his wife suffer.
"Oh? How long are you going to be gone? I want to go too!"
Yu Jiu looked into his bright, sparkling eyes, as if stars were twinkling within them. Her current goal was to make money in the nearby black market, then slowly accumulate wealth to strengthen herself, waiting for the right opportunity in a few years. She hadn't expected Xu Zijiang to be such a seasoned veteran in the black market, daring to even engage in cross-province trading.
He can earn her a year's worth of meager earnings just by going out of the province once. No wonder he's so rich! She wants to go and make money too!
"no."
