"Hehe, really, wife? Is your man really that amazing?" Xu Laosan asked his wife with a smile, his hands starting to wander restlessly.
His wife said "I hate you" in a coy way, and the two began to make love.
The occasional noises kept Xu Honglian, who was sleeping in the outer room, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She closed her eyes, trying hard not to hear the rocking of the cradle in the third son's room, but the more she tried not to listen, the more the sound seemed to desperately try to penetrate her ears.
She dared not get up and go out, fearing that if she left this house, she would never be able to come back in.
When Xu Honglian argued and fought with Gu Changqing, she thought her family would definitely support her. However, after arriving at her family home, she discovered that with her younger brother and sister-in-law there, she, a married daughter, didn't even have a place to sleep.
Tonight, I just casually set up a simple wooden plank in the main room and gave them a tattered mat and a tattered blanket that she used to use at home...
That was how they got rid of the mother and her two children.
Xu Honglian was resentful, but what could she do?
A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; she's like dirty water that's been used by others. If she can come back and have a roof over her head to shelter her from the wind and rain, that's already a blessing.
She dared not ask for too much more.
That night, not only Xu Honglian couldn't sleep, but He Meizhu in Dawan Village also had trouble sleeping. However, apart from them, everyone else slept quite comfortably.
The most comfortable one must be Lu Huaijiao.
She complained that she was hot and didn't want Gu Changzheng to hold her.
Gu Changzheng chuckled twice, picked up his fan, and gently fanned the person.
With the breeze, it wasn't hot anymore, and Lu Huaijiao closed her eyes contentedly.
As for Gu Changzheng hugging her? Let him be, anyway, the fanning can't stop.
The rest of the Gu family also slept well.
The next morning, Gu Changzheng got up early to go to the river to catch fish. Last night, he heard his darling say that she wanted to eat fish. She also wanted to go fishing yesterday, but something happened and she couldn't go. He got up early this morning to catch two fish so that she could eat them when she woke up.
Gu Changzheng tiptoed out of the house.
Lu Huaijiao, who always slept in late, woke up at this moment. Hearing that he was going to go fishing, she reached out and asked someone to help her up without saying a word, wanting to go fishing with him.
"No, honey, the water was a little cold this morning!"
Gu Changzheng was not too happy about his wife going swimming in the river.
There must be plenty of stinky men in the river this early in the morning; it's really not appropriate for his wife to go there.
Lu Huaijiao glanced at Gu Changzheng with disdain: "Don't you know how to take me somewhere where there are no people? There should be plenty of fish where there are no people, right?"
That's true.
But the only deserted place in the village is over there in the bamboo forest. The river there is very deep, and the bamboo forests on both sides are reflected on the water, making it look very eerie.
When Gu Changzheng and his friends were young, they heard people say that there were water monkeys in the river over there, and that anyone who went swimming there would be grabbed by the water monkeys and dragged into the river to drown.
For this reason, no one has dared to go.
Gu Changzheng had been there once before because he was brave enough to do so. He found that the water there was indeed very deep, and there seemed to be something at the bottom, but he could not see the bottom.
He only went once, but He Meizhu found out, so he never went again.
Is there something underwater?
Lu Huaijiao's eyes lit up, and she gestured for Gu Changzheng to hurry up and help her get dressed. She couldn't wait to see it.
Normally, Gu Changzheng would indulge her and agree to whatever she wanted because he was confident he could protect her. But this time, Gu Changzheng hesitated.
"Jiaojiao...it's dangerous over there, shall we go somewhere else to play?"
He still treats her like a child!
Should I coax her to go somewhere else to play?
Lu Huaijiao pouted, looked down at the solemn-looking man in front of her, snorted and patted his cheek: "I'm telling you, I'll be fine in the water."
"Jiaojiao..."
"Really, I can breathe freely in the water."
She wasn't afraid that Gu Changzheng would worry; she just wanted to explain that she wasn't that weak. In short, she felt no burden and told Gu Changzheng one of her secrets.
"You don't believe me?"
Seeing that the man didn't answer immediately, Lu Huaijiao felt a little annoyed.
"I clearly saved you last time, and you still don't believe me." That doesn't make sense, does it?
Lu Huaijiao muttered to herself, complaining softly.
Gu Changzheng looked at her face, which was almost scrunched up, and pinched her cheek with amusement: "I don't distrust our Jiaojiao."
He simply doesn't believe in himself.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to protect her.
Lu Huaijiao pouted.
"Gu Changzheng, this is typical male chauvinism. You always try to take everything upon yourself. I'm not made of paper; I don't need you to be responsible for everything."
On the surface, Gu Changzheng in this life is different from him in the previous life, but deep down they are the same. Both are the kind of people who want to bear everything alone and don't tell her anything.
If he were willing to share some of the burden with her, he wouldn't be so tired.
After a barrage of complaints from Lu Huaijiao, Gu Changzheng finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.
However, they still made a pact: she couldn't go to too deep places, she had to stay by his side, and she couldn't leave his sight.
Lu Huaijiao thought Gu Changzheng was too long-winded.
