Gu Changzheng was amused by Lu Huaijiao's guarded, thieving manner. A slight smile curved his thin lips: "What kind of scheme could I possibly have to get you water for a bath? Do you want it or not?"
Lu Huaijiao stared at the man in front of her, who was probably full of schemes, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes darting around.
"want."
Wash it clean before you tell him the truth.
They broke up.
Gu Changzheng had no idea that his wife, whom he had only married two days prior, was already planning their breakup. He happily went to fetch bathwater, and after Lu Huaijiao finished bathing, he diligently emptied the water.
I splashed around in the river a couple of times to wash myself clean, brushed my teeth, and happily went back to my room.
Lu Huaijiao sat upright on the bed in her pajamas. When Gu Changzheng, who had a happy look on his face, came in, she raised her eyelids slightly and said, "Gu Changzheng, let's break up."
Gu Changzheng's smile froze on his face.
He raised his eyes, his long, narrow pupils staring intently at Lu Huaijiao.
What did you just say?
"I said, let's break up, I don't want to be with you anymore."
Gu Changzheng narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and asked coldly, "The reason?"
"Reason? What other reason could there be? I just didn't want to be with you anymore, so we broke up. Isn't that the reason?" Lu Huaijiao said casually as she untied her hair, "You'll sleep outside tonight, and I'll move out tomorrow..."
Before she could finish saying the word "go out," she was suddenly pinned down on the bed by a tall figure. Her hands, which were untying her hair, were grasped by his large hands and raised above her head in a gesture of surrender.
The man braced himself on his elbows to keep his weight off her, afraid she wouldn't be able to bear it.
Lu Huaijiao didn't notice these details. She was very unhappy about being controlled, and her spoiled princess temper was about to flare up again.
"Gu Changzheng, what are you trying to do?"
"What? I'm asking you that, aren't I? You just got married yesterday, and you're already saying you're breaking up? Lu Huaijiao, is your specialty just turning your back on someone after you've done your job?"
Gu Changzheng spoke in a low voice, almost through gritted teeth.
His breath sprayed onto her face, making Lu Huaijiao's face feel hot.
But she never admits defeat in arguments, and even in this position, she still refuses to give in: "If you don't want to have children with me, then what's the point of breaking up?"
"My youth is very precious, I don't have time to waste with you."
"What?"
Gu Changzheng thought he had misheard.
"You're saying I broke up with you because I didn't want to have children with you?" Isn't that because you dislike him?
"What else?" Lu Huaijiao raised her eyes and glared at him, her puffed-out cheeks indicating that she was very angry.
She secretly decided to designate the seventh day of the fifth lunar month in 1975 as the day of her life's failure. Not only did she learn that her father had given birth to a younger brother, but she was also rejected by Gu Changzheng, who refused to have children with her.
Lu Huaijiao grew angrier the more she thought about it. She snorted and slapped her hand away, saying, "Gu Changzheng, I'm warning you, let go right now, or I'll bite you!"
"Um?"
Gu Changzheng was amused by Lu Huaijiao's words.
The anger in my heart dissipated because of her words.
"Jiaojiao, you're only 19." He had originally planned to wait until she was older before letting her become a mother. But since she loved children so much, he, as a man, couldn't refuse her.
Lu Huaijiao was stunned for a moment by Gu Changzheng's abrupt and seemingly unrelated statement, but she quickly lost the ability to think straight. Because this man, who had just seemed ready to devour her, was now truly devouring her.
"Gu Chang... um..." She couldn't finish her sentence before her lips were sealed, and she swallowed back her saliva. While Lu Huaijiao was still reeling from the kiss, she wondered, weren't they discussing breaking up? How did it turn out like this?
"Gu Changzheng, you bastard!"
It started raining in the pitch-black night. At first, it was a light drizzle, gently moistening the earth and nourishing everything silently. But then a strong wind rose, and the gentle drizzle turned into a heavy downpour.
Rainwater fell on the roof tiles, flowed down the gutters, and into the deliberately left drainage ditch under the eaves, where it gathered into a stream that flowed out from the backyard.
The rain intensified, waking those who were already asleep. They turned over and went back to sleep.
The noise in the newlyweds' room didn't stop until the middle of the night.
As the rain intensified, Gu Changzheng's enthusiasm only grew. He tried everything—coaxing and cajoling—and Lu Huaijiao scratched and tickled him quite a bit. But her gentle touch was like a kitten's tail tickling him.
Instead of hurting him, it actually piqued my interest.
Fortunately, Lu Huaijiao didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would definitely grit her teeth and bite him a few times.
This person is so annoying!
…………
The rain was still falling the next morning.
However, the rain lessened.
The village loudspeaker didn't remind us not to go to work, so we still have to go to work today.
Xu Honglian dawdled until it was time to get up for work, but didn't hear the announcement over the loudspeaker that she wasn't supposed to work. She rubbed her face, which was still covered in sleep, and muttered, "Not even a day off when it rains. Busy, busy, busy. Busy all year round, busy killing us?"
What are you muttering about?
A voice suddenly rang out, startling Xu Honglian. She turned her head and, upon seeing that it was her husband, she raised her hand to cover her pounding heart.
"Gu Changqing, are you trying to die?"
Gu Changqing glanced at Xu Honglian.
Not only was she slovenly, but she also had a foul mouth and spoke rudely... He really didn't know how he could have ever fallen for Xu Honglian. Gu Changqing shook his head, stepped out the door, and went to work.
"Hey, Gu Changqing, what do you mean by shaking your head? Did you look down on me or something with that look you gave me just now?" Xu Honglian finished speaking and chased after him.
She didn't notice that she had stepped into a puddle, and her cloth shoes with multi-layered soles were half wet.
"Oh, my shoes!" Xu Honglian looked down at her shoes, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the closed door of Lu Huaijiao's house. Xu Honglian's anger flared up instantly.
Why is it that we're all family, yet she gets up on time every day to go to work without missing a single day, while Lu Huaijiao is just sleeping in?
Why?
Before Xu Honglian could figure it out, Lu Huaijiao's languid voice, heavy with sleepiness, rang out from their previously quiet room: "Gu Changzheng, I want some water."
Her soft, husky voice immediately told you she was a vixen.
Xu Honglian thought angrily.
At the same time, she was also waiting, waiting for the cold-faced Yama's brother-in-law to refute Lu Huaijiao, this lazybones.
What Xu Honglian didn't expect was that instead of Gu Changzheng refuting Lu Huaijiao, she heard Gu Changzheng's low voice coaxing, "The water is here, drink slowly, be careful not to choke."
Xu Honglian was so angry she nearly fell backward!
How is this possible? How could this be the result?
"Second son's wife, what are you doing standing in front of fourth son's door instead of going to work?"
