Chapter 97 My lover didn’t run away, he just went back to his parents’ home.

Lu Sui's eyes were dark and bottomless. Liang Jingxuan couldn't understand his emotions, but she could feel his pain. "Husband..." Lu Sui crumpled the yellowed paper into a ball with a gloomy face. He put his trembling arms around his waist, picked him up with one hand, and strode towards the living room.

The army soldier lay on the sofa with his legs crossed, holding a freshly rolled cigarette to his nose and sniffing it hard, "A ten-dollar cigarette is different from a five-dollar one~~"

"Second Uncle..."

Lu Jun held his cigarette tightly and hid it, feeling guilty as he sat down. "What's wrong?"

Lu Sui put Liang Jingxuan down and threw the paper ball in his hand to him. Lu Jun caught the paper ball, slowly spread it open, and after seeing the general content, crumpled it into a ball again. He took the flint and opened the stove lid and threw it in. After it was burned to ashes, he asked, "Who found it?"

Liang Jingxuan raised his hand tremblingly, "I found it in the photo album..."

Lu Sui's scrutinizing eyes never left him. Lu Jun calmly put the cigarette in his hand between his ears and said, "Photo album? When did it end up in the album? I clearly remember that I sold it to the old man who collected scraps..."

"When did you do it?" There was a hint of impatience in Lu Sui's rough voice. At this time, he was still so calm. He didn't know whether to admire him or...

Lu Jun pulled Liang Jingxuan over and sat him on the sofa. He glanced at Song Huizi who was washing the pot in the kitchen and said in a low voice, "At that time, your aunt was a little better and wanted to have another child, but even if she was pregnant, she couldn't keep it..."

Lu Sui appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was like a surging lake that soaked into his body and flooded his hot chest, "So you went for a vasectomy..."

After being stabbed twice, the Army soldier was quite embarrassed to be asked this question as it concerns his manliness. "Yes, your aunt doesn't know..." For their generation, continuing the family line is a big deal. Besides, putting aside this concept, who doesn't want a child with their own blood?

But apart from the child, he wanted Song Huizi to be safe and sound. Some truths can only be learned slowly through life and slow realization. The child will leave him when he grows up, but Song Huizi will not.

Liang Jingxuan seemed to understand, and his eyes suddenly turned, "Second Uncle... So you don't have a bird anymore?"

"You didn't!" Lu Jun's face turned red with anger, "Also, you have no shame. How can you just say something like this?"

Liang Jingxuan pouted in grievance, "I didn't say anything nonsense, I just asked you because I don't know..."

The army's teeth itched with anger, "Can you control your wife?!!!"

Lu Sui stared at him with dark eyes, and said with a hint of teasing, "Didn't you always talk about continuing the family line?"

The army soldier lifted up his unwashed feet and said, "Open the door and go out. If you tell anyone that you won't continue the family line, he will definitely say that you are sick. Continuing the family line... The main reason is that my family has no money! What should I pass on? My stinky feet?"

Lu Sui, "..."

Liang Jingxuan pinched his nose, lifted Lu Sui's clothes and went in, "Don't spread it, it stinks!"

The army soldier said "Hey" and retracted his foot. "By the way, do you remember the name of our ancestor?"

Lu Sui looked sullen, "I don't remember..."

The army clapped his hands and spread them out, "I don't remember either, and your grandfather certainly doesn't remember either, even though he's dead... So, what's the point of continuing this generation?! It's better for a useless person like me to die in my generation..."

Lu Sui glanced at him secretly, "So you and Second Aunt often quarreled at that time, was it because of this?"

"That's about right. The villagers love to gossip. After that incident, they went even further, saying that your aunt is a jinx to our family... They threw all the dirty water and stinky water on your aunt. They only dare to bully women..."

The Army's calm demeanor conceals a bloody brutality...

Liang Jingxuan lifted Lu Sui's clothes and came out, hugging Lu Jun with tears in her eyes, "Don't bully Second Aunt, don't bully you! I'll go beat them up..."

The army soldier raised his hands, which were yellowed and rough from years of smoking, and patted his back. His face seemed to be covered by a layer of mist, painful and lonely, and slowly turned into a smile, "No one bullies me. I have dealt with those who bullied me. The only thing left is..."

A few moths were hovering under the dim gas bulb. Lu Sui's eyes were sharp. "So... your gambling, beating your wife, and idleness are all lies..."

The Army scratched his head.

"It's true that he gambled and that he was idle. Your father could make money at that time, and I had planned to let him support me for the rest of my life. But who knew that he died? It was only after he died that I started to support the family... It was so difficult! Especially for you, you were a big eater at that time, and you ate me up out of my money..."

He glanced at the kitchen again and lowered his voice, "Besides, would I dare to hit your aunt? If she hit me with a chair, my leg would be lame for a week!"

The cloudiness in Lu Sui's eyes gradually faded away, "You also said that you are half my father. If you don't support me, who will?"

Liang Jingxuan suddenly threw herself into his arms, raised her still slightly misty little deer eyes, and said softly, "I'll raise you!"

The army officer sneered, "You raised him? He ate more than a pig back then!"

Liang Jingxuan exclaimed, tilting her head and said, "Eating more than a pig? My husband is a boar... I eat a lot too, so I am a sow!"

Lu Sui, "..."

Army, "..."

"So you can be a couple..."

After Lu Jun finished speaking, he walked leisurely to the kitchen with his hands behind his back. When Song Huizi saw him coming in, she didn't give him a good look and shook the water off the bamboo brush. "What are you doing here?"

The army rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll wash the pot!"

Song Huizi pushed him away in disgust, "Get out of here! You can mess up the pot even if I ask you to watch the fire... You can't even clean it thoroughly if I ask you to!"

The Army was grinning and lying behind her. Out of her sight, he looked at the few white hairs mixed in with her black hair. The guilt was like a sharp knife, stabbing his heart.

A woman who cannot give birth to a child walking in the village is like walking in a slaughterhouse. Everyone will come up to tear off a piece of flesh from her body, and after tearing off the flesh, they will also spit on her.

But if she had a man who beat her every day, was a spendthrift and loved gambling, everyone would sympathize with her. This is the most basic human nature. In the early years, it was almost universally rumored in the village that Song Huizi was unable to have children because she was beaten by the Army.

He didn't care whether they were poking at his spine or cursing him openly or covertly. After all, spitting wouldn't kill anyone. As long as they didn't curse his wife...

Song Huizi turned aside and looked at him strangely, "Why don't you leave?"

The Army brazenly approached, "I'm here with you~"

"You are a nuisance and a hindrance here, get out!"

"No, I'll move!"

Lu Sui lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, her expression suddenly changed. She was in the shadows, unable to see her emotions clearly. She leaned over and hugged Liang Jingxuan back to the room, "Hubby, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Sui was stunned for a moment, and then a deep resentment appeared in his sinister eyes, but he didn't know who to blame or hate, and why didn't they tell him?

Why let him be misled for so many years?

No explanation...

And the Army only told half the truth. What is the other half...

Why have you been hiding and enduring for so many years?

"Husband? Husband?!"

Liang Jingxuan held his stiff cheek, "Husband~" Lu Sui lowered his eyes, his mood was bad, but his voice was very soft, "I, was thinking about something else..."

Liang Jingxuan hummed softly and didn't ask him any more questions. Lu Sui gently put him on the bright red quilt, turned around numbly to turn off the light, and then came back and lifted the quilt, "Husband, come up quickly!"

Under the dim light, Liang Jingxuan's eyelashes, which had just been crying, turned black. Lu Sui's heart trembled, his eyes flickered, and the evil emotions flashed away.

"good……"

Before Lu Sui lay down, Liang Jingxuan came up with his arms and legs intertwined. Lu Sui had broad shoulders and a strong waist, with distinct muscles that rose and fell with his breathing. Liang Jingxuan held him for a while, poking his big chest muscles with her fingers from time to time, "Honey, your chest muscles are so big!"

Lu Sui narrowed his eyes and said dangerously, "Liang Jingxuan, do you want to die?"

Liang Jingxuan withdrew his hand tremblingly, "No~"

Lu Sui's eyes dimmed. Not only did she not let him sleep, but she also bothered him. She couldn't hit him or scold him, and if he cried, he had to comfort himself. She suddenly turned over and slept facing him.

Liang Jingxuan moved over, hugged his waist from behind, and rubbed his lips on his neck, "Hubby~Are you angry?"

Lu Sui's black eyes were filled with rage and a chilling coldness, "Liang Jingxuan, I'm a fucking man, and I think...if you don't give me *, don't mess with me!"

Liang Jingxuan clung to him fearlessly, "Oh~ But I'm so cold sleeping alone, I want my husband to hold me~"

Lu Sui, "..."

After a moment, a tolerant smile flashed across her gloomy eyes. She turned around, lowered her eyes and pecked the red mole on his nose. "When are you going to have sex with me? The kind that will give birth to a baby..."

Liang Jingxuan poked his palm with his fingers, "I'm afraid~, I won't..."

"No!" Lu Sui had a gloomy face, with a look of depression that was hard to dispel.

A hint of fear flashed across Liang Jingxuan's eyes. She buried her head in his neck and said in a husky voice, "I'm just asking you, wait a little longer, I... I'm still a little scared~"

Lu Sui held him in her arms in annoyance, tightened her arms, and kissed him lightly on the lips, saying in a tender voice, "I was too impatient and shouldn't have hurt you. I'll wait for you..."

Liang Jingxuan kissed his tense jaw tenderly, "Good~ You are a good husband~"

Lu Sui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She leaned over and bit his soft lips very hard. At the same time, she held his neck and forced him to raise his head...

The morning mist covered the Yunwu Village like a veil, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility. When Lu Sui woke up, Liang Jingxuan also woke up. Before she opened her eyes, she whimpered and cried, "Hubby, my mouth hurts, I can't eat spicy strips..."

Lu Sui's dry throat moved, "You deserve it!"

Lu Jun and Song Huizi got up earlier than them. Lu Sui walked around. Water was boiling in a big pot in the kitchen. Song Huizi was chatting with Aunt Zhang across the fence. Lu Jun was nowhere to be seen.

"Aunt, where is my uncle?"

Song Huizi turned around and said, "He's out! He's been out every day these days, he must be playing mahjong again..."

"Playing mahjong..." If Lu Sui remembered correctly, he had no money, so how could he afford to play mahjong? He gave all his 10 yuan pocket money a week to Liang Jingxuan to buy bubble gum.

Song Huizi patted the dirt off the broom.

"Don't worry about him. He doesn't dare to fight. There is spicy fried egg rice in the pot. You and Xuanbao can eat it and send a bowl to Xiaoying. He got up before dawn to kill the pig. I had just woken up when he sent the pig fat..."

Lu Sui didn't know why he was certain that Lu Jun was not in the mahjong room, "Okay."

In the small courtyard filled with a strong smell of blood, Yu Zeying was working with pig intestines with his nostrils stuffed with paper, vomiting as he did so. Xiao Si had not been back since Yu Jun's accident. In order to hire a lawyer, all the land in his family was sold, leaving only this shabby house.

Yu Zeying's pig-killing skills are not as good as Xiao Si's, but at least he can kill the pigs. He opens five days a week and uses the remaining two days to visit Yu Zehui. Even if Yu Zehui doesn't want to see him, he still has to go. What if he meets Yu Zehui?

The pig intestines were so smelly that they made his eyes brimming with tears. He took two breaths and continued, thinking that if Mu Xiliang was here, he would definitely find him smelly and would not allow him to get on the bed, hug him, or kiss him...

"A-Ying, do you have any spare ribs?" Yu Zeying turned around in a daze. It was Li Ying's grandmother. She threw the pig intestines that had not been cleaned yet into the bucket, took off her gloves, pressed two pumps of detergent and quickly washed her hands three times. "Yes! Grandma, how many pounds do you want?"

Aunt Li gave him two freshly baked glutinous rice cakes and said, "I want five kilograms. Xiaoyu will be back tomorrow. He has lost a lot of weight due to the college entrance examination. We need to nourish him! Eat a few first to cushion your hunger. I'm not in a hurry."

Yu Zeying took two big bites of the glutinous rice cake and said, "Grandma, you are biased. You only give the food to the stinky little fish. Brother Ying has also lost weight!"

Aunt Li smiled and waved her hands, "He is fat and strong, he doesn't need any supplements!"

Yu Zeying couldn't help but laugh, "Granny, that's not how you use fat and body strength!"

"Oh, you're uneducated, so please forgive me. It's not a good thing for you to be single. I heard from your aunt Zhang that your lover ran away with all your money. Do you want me to introduce you to someone? The Ma family in the next village also has a daughter who is a butcher..."

Yu Zeying wanted to speak, but the glutinous rice cake in his mouth stuck to his throat and he kept coughing, "cough cough cough..." Tears came out of his eyes.

Aunt Li patted his back to calm him down, "Hey, slow down!"

Yu Zeying calmed down and said stutteringly, "Grandma, Aunt Zhang heard it wrong. My lover didn't run away with my money. He went back to his parents' home for something and will be back soon! You don't need to introduce him to me...just introduce him to Brother Ying..."

It would be fine if she didn't say it. As soon as she mentioned this, she got so angry, "I've introduced him to seventy or eighty people this year! Every time, before they can even say a few words, Xiaoyu starts to tumble and roll around, slamming the table and breaking the bowls... Oh! What a devil! What a little devil..."

Yu Zeying smiled and tried to brush it off, but the village chief's youngest son, Wang Dong, scurried in like a monkey and said, "Brother Ying, someone's looking for you!"
