Chapter 9: A Nominal Husband and Wife is Still a Husband and Wife
Perhaps because her expression of confusion was too obvious, Xu Yu busied himself with her for a long time without showing any sign of annoyance. He just said, "Shall I bring up some more hay?"
In just a short while, he had already taken off from the wall seven or eight times.
It has little effect.
Sang Zhixia said strangely: "Where do you think the problem lies?"
Xu Yu: "I can't guess."
They looked at each other, unable to do anything.
Sang Zhixia frowned and said, "This road doesn't work. Let's take a detour."
"Go and see how they are laid elsewhere."
Xu Yu simply reached out, hooked his hand around her waist, and landed perfectly.
Before Sang Zhixia could feel embarrassed, he withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
"I'll go look somewhere else."
Xu Yu jumped onto the higher roof of the east room. Sang Zhixia, who was standing on the ground, saw him and was silently amazed.
A human-shaped version of the flying monkey!
The powerful flying monkey jumped up and down, but until night fell, the two of them were unable to repair the roof.
Those who were finally able to rest in the house had already gone to bed. Xu Yu looked at the night light leaking in from all directions above his head and said helplessly, "It's getting late. You should go back to sleep."
He is already twenty years old, it is impossible for him to squeeze with his own mother.
But Sang Zhixia is a woman and doesn't mind this.
Sang Zhixia agreed without much hesitation.
"You stay here for now. Tomorrow, find a way to ask someone in the village. If that doesn't work, spend some money to hire someone for help."
"you……"
Xu Yu paused, wanting to say something, and when Sang Zhixia turned around, he said softly, "Remember to keep your own things safe."
"Don't take it out."
He didn't know how many valuables Sang Zhixia had hidden on her body along the way, nor did he want to know.
But once a door is closed, thoughts always fly around the room.
People are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.
If other people found out, they would definitely get beaten to a pulp.
This family is no longer respectable.
Sang Zhixia didn't expect him to think of this. After a moment's pause, she said slowly, "Just lie down and sleep soundly. My things won't be lost."
She has been poor and scared, and knows better than anyone how important the money in her pocket is.
So she hid it carefully along the way, leaving no trace except for the oriental pearl.
When I moved into the hut, I immediately found a safe place and hid myself tightly.
It's okay.
Xu Yu nodded lightly and stopped talking. Sang Zhixia also returned to the east room leisurely.
However, less than half an hour after entering the house, she regretted it.
She had long understood her mother-in-law's watery nature, but she had never imagined that she would spend so much time wiping away tears...
The crying never stopped after Xu Mingxu and Xu Jinxi fell asleep.
She had no objection to sleeping on the floor as there was only one bed, but she really couldn't sleep with her mother-in-law crying like a devil in her ears.
After an hour of suffering, the crying did not stop.
Sang Zhixia tried to call out softly, only to find that the person who was crying was still very devoted.
She was tortured to the point of losing her temper. Thinking of Xu Yu who was sleeping soundly, she decisively and quietly rushed out the door holding the quilt.
It’s better to be outdoors than here!
In the west shed, Xu Yu heard rustling noises and subconsciously called out, "Who is it?"
"It's me."
He looked at the person who came with the quilt in surprise, and said in surprise: "You are not..."
"Hey, don't mention it."
When they camped in the wilderness, they often lay on the ground together. Sang Zhixia spread half of the quilt on the straw and wrapped the other half on her body, revealing her head with dark circles under her eyes and said, "Grandma is crying like this, is she really okay?"
"Why don't you go and persuade them?"
Xu Yu didn't expect it was for this, and he smiled bitterly and said, "That's just my mother's personality."
Not to mention the sudden change now, even when she was in the Marquis' Mansion before, she would cry all night long if something didn't go her way.
No one can persuade him.
Sang Zhixia took a deep breath with a complicated expression, yawned and said, "I won't go back for the time being. I'll sleep here after the roof is repaired."
Anyway, a couple in name only is still a couple.
After three months of getting along with him, she realized that although Xu Yu had a bad reputation, he was an extremely well-behaved person.
It's okay to sleep together.
Xu Yu wanted to say that it was inappropriate, but she quickly closed her eyes as if she was extremely tired. Her lips moved repeatedly but in the end she said nothing.
It was the first time in several months that Sang Zhixia had a quilt to wrap herself in, so she should have slept well.
But in a daze, she seemed to feel that something was wrong.
Why is it dripping?
When the cold liquid splashed on her face again, she finally struggled out of her sleepiness, her eyes wide open with a hint of anger.
What the hell?
But when she saw the scene clearly, she was stunned for a moment.
It was raining heavily outside. I didn't know when it started.
It was raining heavily outside, but it was drizzling inside the shed.
Her sleeping place was moved from the center to the corner, and a few wooden boards were propped up diagonally against the wall to shelter her from the wind and rain. A strong and powerful hand with distinct meridians was raised on the side of her head, holding a wooden basin with the mouth facing upwards.
The water that splashed on her face came from a basin filled with rainwater...
Perhaps the big hand he glimpsed at night was too vivid, so Sang Zhixia couldn't sleep for half the night.
The retribution for staying up late comes quickly.
As soon as the sun rose she realized something was wrong.
My head seems heavy.
She leaned drowsily against the damp earthen wall, not moving at all, her eyelids too heavy to open.
Xu Yu followed the same method and cooked rice with well water, but when it was time to eat, the person who was supposed to appear did not show up.
Xu Wenxiu, who had been crying all night, was busy taking care of the two children. The others, who were still complaining about the porridge, didn't notice that someone was missing.
Xu Wenxiu saw Xu Yu frowning and subconsciously said, "Yu'er, what's wrong?"
Xu Yu handed Xu Jinxi, who was waiting to be fed, to her and said solemnly, "Mom, you eat first. I'll go over and take a look."
"What’s wrong with you?"
When his words received no response, Xu Yu frowned and strode over quickly.
As soon as he reached out and grabbed Sang Zhixia's arm, he gasped in shock at the heat.
Maybe he caught a cold from the rain last night, and Sang Zhixia, who had been strong for three thousand miles, finally couldn't bear it and had a high fever.
Her illness came on very violently. Not only was her whole body burning, but she couldn't be woken up no matter what.
Xu Yu was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped her in it, then carried her horizontally and strode towards the east room.
Seeing this, the people who were eating finally noticed something was wrong.
But what Aunt Xu blurted out was: "In broad daylight, hugging and kissing is outrageous!"
Xu Wenxiu also felt that something was wrong and stopped him, saying, "Yu'er, this..."
"She's sick."
Xu Yu uttered three words stiffly, and without looking back, he carried Sang Zhixia into the house.
Xu Wenxiu hurried in and said helplessly, "How...how did he suddenly get sick?"
"What should I do if I fall ill at this time?"
The family was in a mess. Even Xu Yu had to endure the illness all by himself. Who would care about the insignificant Sang Zhixia at this time?
Xu Yu touched Sang Zhixia's forehead without saying a word, lowered his eyes and said, "Mother, give me what I gave you before."
