Chapter 210 Jealousy
The contract was signed, the official seal was affixed, and the drug dealers were sent away.
Li Runrun counted the banknotes and finished writing in the account book.
It was already dark when he left the government office.
Li Ruanruan stretched her sore neck.
Hu Fenghua followed her: "I'll take you back."
"I've already told you I won't go with him. What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid he'll bother you, so I'll help you beat him up."
Li Ruanruan tilted her head and looked at Hu Fenghua in the moonlight: "Can you beat him?"
Hu Fenghua clenched his fists and said, "I can't beat a white-faced scholar like him anymore. You underestimate me too much."
Li Ruanruan was amused by his words, and then said, "He is surrounded by many experts."
"If anyone still doesn't have help, I'll find some. But if he's a brave man, it'll just be the two of us fighting, without involving outsiders."
Hu Fenghua took Li Runrun all the way home.
Seeing that Ye Yunchu didn't show up all day, I wonder if he hid in Li Runrun's house.
That's too much.
He hasn't even entered the house yet, how could he let Ye Yunchu snatch him away? It's a joke, that's not possible.
Hu Fenghua sent Li Runrun home, took a stroll with her, and had a meal with her.
Still asking questions.
Ask Limutou if Ye Yunchu has arrived.
I had a headache after waking up from the pear wood wine, and I felt listless all day. I couldn't muster any energy at all now.
I just want to go to bed early after dinner.
Being questioned by Hu Fenghua over and over again, she was very annoyed: "I told you she didn't come, she didn't come! If you don't believe me, go and ask for yourself."
Hu Fenghua could see that this person really didn't come, and Li Mutou didn't stand on Ye Yunchu's side either.
He grabbed Li Mutou's shoulder and bumped into him: "Good brother, I love you for a reason. Keep an eye on him for me. If he dares to come, tell me."
Li Mutou glanced at Hu Fenghua and said, "Tell you what, what can you do?"
Hu Fenghua smiled sinisterly and said, "I'll put a sack on him and beat him."
Li Mutou may have thought about the scene, and he didn't find it funny, but he felt it was impossible.
So he laughed.
Hu Fenghua thought Li Mutou was laughing at Ye Yunchu and said he was going to get beaten, so he raised his fist and said, "When the time comes, I will beat him up so badly that he'll know how powerful I am."
Li Mutou continued to laugh and looked at Hu Fenghua: "You?"
Hu Fenghua patted Li Mutou's shoulder and said, "You look down on me? When I was chopping heads on the battlefield like chopping vegetables, where were you still playing in the mud?"
Li Mutou laughed even louder. "Come on, don't I know your story? Stop bragging. You're really overestimating yourself. Wake up. He's the governor. Chopping off your head is as easy as chopping vegetables."
Li Mutou was amused by his friend's lack of self-awareness and became too complacent. Hu Fenghua punched him and knocked him off the chair, landing on his butt.
Li Mutou didn't feel any pain at all, and was still smiling while holding the bowl.
Li Ruanruan couldn't stand it any longer and glared at them: "Are you still eating? No, don't eat it."
Hu Fenghua grabbed Li Mutou's neck and dragged him outside: "Come out here! I will definitely teach you a lesson. You are a rebel who boosts others' morale and destroys my own prestige."
After the two of them had a fight in the yard, Hu Fenghua started to work, chopping wood, fetching water, sweeping snow, and running around with the children.
Hu Fenghua left only after Li Runrun was about to fall asleep and he was sure that Ye Yunchu would not come.
Li Runrun returned to her room. She didn't sleep well last night and had a busy day today.
She was really sleepy.
Afraid that she would sleep too deeply at night and not be able to take care of the children, she let Li Bai sleep with them.
Li Ruanruan was soaking her feet, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.
Li Da came and knocked on the door
"Ruanruan, are you asleep?"
"No."
Li Runrun opened her eyes which were almost glued together, wiped the water off her feet, and stood up to open the door.
Li Da came in and sat down.
Li Da looked at Li Ruanruan and said, "I think Lord Tiger is very nice. I won't feel uncomfortable when I get along with him."
After a pause, Li Da continued, "The prince is also very good, but... Dad has to watch him, and Dad is very scared. Besides, we live very well here, and the prince is not here often."
Li Ruanruan chuckled softly: "Dad, I understand what you mean."
Li Da was worried again: "But the old prince doesn't agree. Indeed, we are a small family."
"Dad, I don't have to get married. You said that life is pretty good now, isn't it?"
Li Da looked at Li Ruan Ruan and said, "That's true, but a woman still needs a home. It's hard to be alone."
"There's no such thing. I couldn't live for myself before. Now that I can, I don't want to live in the secular world. I don't do what others tell me to do. I do what I want to do."
Li Da seemed to think about Li Ruan Ruan's words.
Finally, he said, "It's okay to marry someone in. But marry someone with a clean family background, a good person, and someone who will treat you and your child well."
Li Runrun was a little thirsty and was drinking water when she heard Li Da say this idea after a long silence.
She was indeed choked. Li Ruanruan coughed and said, "Dad, don't worry about it. I have my own ideas. It's late and cold. Dad should go to bed early."
After seeing Li Da off, Li Runrun took the foot washing water and went out to pour it out.
She put the foot basin away, but it was still too cold outside.
My feet, which had just been soaked, feel cold again.
Fortunately, the kang was very warm.
Liruanruan's breath turned into mist. She hugged her arms and trotted back against the cold winter night wind.
Li Ruanruan bolted the door and closed the window.
It’s so late, Ye Yunchu shouldn’t come. He is not the kind of person who would do such an indecent thing as to step over someone else’s wall.
Li Runrun walked over and blew out all the candles on the candlesticks.
“It’s so cold~”
Li Runrun took off all her clothes except her underwear. She didn't like to wear too much when sleeping. She felt more comfortable when she slept in thin clothes.
Liruanruan lifted the quilt and lay down. The kang was great. It felt warm as soon as she lay down, and the quilt was not cold at all.
Li Ruanruan sighed in comfort and satisfaction.
She closed her eyes and finally had a good sleep. She was so sleepy.
Li Runrun just closed her eyes and breathed evenly.
It felt like breath brushing my face.
Li Ruanruan's whole body stiffened.
The first thing that flashed through my mind was that it was haunted, but I have lived in this courtyard for a long time, and it shouldn't be haunted at this time.
Just when she had a bad feeling, suddenly, someone hugged her waist and a familiar figure covered her.
Li Ruanruan wanted to scream, but he kissed her instead.
