Chapter 98: Step by Step

There was a flickering light in the depths of Yu Zeying's narrow eyes, "Who?" He walked out hesitantly and nervously. Outside the old gate, stood a man in a suit. It was not Mu Xiliang. His heart seemed to be clamped tightly by someone's hand, and the dull pain made it difficult for him to breathe.

"Hello!"

"Who are you?"

The man smiled politely and handed him a black bag, "Mu Xiliang asked me to give this to you."

Yu Zeying's arm muscles trembled after he took it. "How is he now?"

The man pursed his lips and said, "He's very good. He brought the things. I'll leave first."

"Okay..." Yu Zeying stood there stiffly, watching the man walk away dully. He actually wanted to ask, when will he come back?

Does he still want him?

Does what I said before still count?

He didn't dare ask, for fear of hearing an answer he didn't dare to hear, and then he would no longer be able to numb himself.

"Ah, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Zeying grinned, "Grandma, I'm fine. I'll chop the ribs for you now..." After sending her away, Yu Zeying used two pumps of detergent to wash off the oil and blood stains on his hands. He carefully picked up the black bag and went into the house. When the little rabbit heard the door open, it jumped and hid under the table.

This little rabbit was given to Mu Xiliang by Liang Jingxuan. After Mu Xiliang left, the little rabbit also disappeared.

Yu Zeying always felt that the rabbit would not run far, so he searched in the haunted house for a day and a night before he found it. There was a big hole under the couch, and the little rabbit was curled up and hiding inside.

Mu Xiliang likes the little rabbit very much. The little rabbit can get on the couch even though he can’t. The little rabbit can lick Mu Xiliang whenever he wants and can even sleep in Mu Xiliang’s arms, while he can only sleep under the couch.

He envied and was jealous, and wanted to make it into spicy rabbit cubes many times! But it was also because of its arrival that Mu Xiliang was no longer lifeless, and smiled more and more, even if he was not smiling at him...

He stubbornly took it back, thinking that even if Mu Xiliang didn't want him, he might come back because he missed the little rabbit...

He took good care of it, and it was round and almost like a snowball. If Mu Xiliang saw it, he would definitely say it was fat. They said they would give it a name after the Chinese New Year, but now, the Chinese New Year has passed and it is spring, but they still haven't given it a name...

Yu Zeying ignored the panicked little rabbit and excitedly opened the black bag. When he saw the passbook and the American saber with a sheath, his eyes went dark, his knees went weak, and he almost fell down. When he took out the passbook, his hands couldn't stop trembling.

After flipping through two pages, it was found that Mu Xiliang had not touched a single cent of the money. When they were still in the haunted house, they had agreed that Mu Xiliang would be the housekeeper in the future and he would be responsible for making money. Now, the passbook has been returned. Does he really not want him anymore?

He turned the bag over and over, shook it again and again, and found nothing except the passbook and the saber. Was returning these to him a sign of breaking up with him?

No one owes anyone anything?

Although he had expected this, he couldn't accept it when the day finally came. He didn't blame him, nor did he resent him. It was difficult for a normal person to be with the son of his enemy, not to mention that he had caused his family to be broken up.

But he didn't want this result at all. He would rather not have these things returned so that he could deceive himself all his life. But now that they have all been returned, how can he still deceive himself?

His Ah Xi no longer wanted him and would never come back. That was the end of the two of them...

He clutched the passbook and burst into tears. This time, no one laughed at him or comforted him.

The bloody smell in the courtyard gradually dissipated, the milky white smoke blended with the morning mist, and a ray of sunlight hit the eaves impartially.

Song Huizi prepared breakfast, brought it to the table, and wiped her hands with her apron, "Xuanbao, has your second uncle not come back yet?"

Liang Jingxuan squatted at the door holding the rabbit and looked eagerly at the main road, "He didn't come back..."

Song Huizi took off her apron and threw it on the table. "He plays that crappy mahjong every day. Don't open the door for him when he comes back today!"

"Husband!" Lu Sui went to the brick factory. The emergency management department made a surprise inspection of the safety facilities in the brick factory, so he had to be there. As soon as he got out of the car, Liang Jingxuan jumped on him. He leaned over slightly and hugged him to his chest, with his two muscular arms around his butt.

The little rabbit was squeezed flat. Liang Jingxuan grabbed its ears and pulled it out in a panic. The little rabbit was frightened and its limbs were tense. "Rabbit~ I almost got squashed~"

Lu Sui grabbed his soft little mouth and sucked hard, "No, you slept with it pressed down on you last night and it was fine, wasn't it?"

Liang Jingxuan said apologetically, "I was careless~"

Lu Sui smiled and agreed, "Yeah~ it was an accident!"

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and Liang Jingxuan became more and more restless in sleep. He would sleep comfortably in his pajamas, but in the middle of the night he would start to cry about the heat and take off all his clothes. Not only did he not wear pajamas, but Lu Sui also wanted to hold him in her arms when he slept. If she didn't hold him, he would cry and make a fuss, which made Lu Sui even more unbearable!

I spent many nights sleeping soundly until dawn.

He was sleeping soundly with his butt sticking up, smacking his lips from time to time.

What can we do?

He chose his wife himself, so he has to accept whatever happens to her. What the Army said is also right, he didn't even mind his age, so what right does he have to criticize him...

His wife is good in every way, but she doesn't give him *...

"Is the meal ready?"

Liang Jingxuan licked the corner of his mouth and nodded heavily, "It's already been prepared, just waiting for you and Second Uncle. There are fried spring bamboo shoots with bacon, fried pickled cabbage, and fried milk mushrooms. Second Aunt also fried a large plate of locust flower cakes. Tutu and I picked the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest!"

Lu Sui carried him into the house and asked, "Did you get bit by mosquitoes?"

Liang Jingxuan hooked his neck and said, "No~ I'm wearing a lot~"

Song Huizi was looking after the sows in the pig pen. Lu Suihuan looked around but didn't see Lu Jun. He put Liang Jingxuan down steadily and asked, "Second uncle hasn't come back yet?"

Liang Jingxuan stroked the messy hair of the little rabbit, "Yes! Didn't I just say it? I'm waiting for you and Second Uncle~"

Song Huizi walked in with a sad face, "I don't know what's wrong with this old sow. I gave it the medicine to attract piglets, and I also drove the boar to mate with it. Not only did it not give birth to any piglets, but why is it clinging to the wall again?"

Lu Sui didn't quite understand this either, "It shouldn't be that fast..."

Song Huizi shook her head in distress, "No...either the sow is sick, or your uncle bought the wrong medicine! That day, the boar was with our sow for less than ten minutes before it kicked it away..."

Liang Jingxuan took two green leaves to feed the little rabbits, "Huahua doesn't like it~"

Lu Sui didn't understand. "What?"

Song Huizi chuckled, "The sow is called Huahua, he named it that. Forget it, let's eat first, and then go to the village entrance to find Master Ma to check on us."

Liang Jingxuan stood up and said, "Wait for Second Uncle!"

When Song Huizi thought about the fact that none of the things he had asked her to do were done properly, she became furious and said, "I won't wait any longer! You can come back if you want..."

Although Song Huizi said that she would not wait for the Army, she actually left some food for him in a bowl and covered it with a plate.

Lu Sui lowered his mouth and asked, "Who is this for, Auntie?"

Song Huizi paused, "It's for the dogs!"

Liang Jingxuan poked the bamboo shoots in the bowl with chopsticks, "But we don't have a dog at home. Are we feeding the stray dogs outside?"

Song Huizi, "..."

Lu Sui, "..."

The sky was blue and gloomy. Under the big locust tree in the backyard of the Liu family, Lai San grabbed Liu Mei's hand, and the two of them pulled and tugged for a while.

"Meimei, come with me! Let's go to the city, I'll work in the factory, and I'll support you! You just sit at home and enjoy your life, aren't you comfortable without having to work? What future can you and that skinny loser have?!!"

Liu Mei was in a state of panic. There was a fork in the road between them, and she was always afraid that someone would suddenly show up. "Lai San, let me go. I'm engaged, and my father won't agree with us!"

Lai San grabbed her arm rudely and said, "Come with me to the city, and we'll make a lot of money. Let's see if he agrees or not!"

He almost yelled at her. Liu Mei looked into the room with fear in her heart. Liu Guoqing was still taking a nap in the room. She ran out secretly. If she had known that Lai San was so difficult to get rid of, she should not have approached him.

"Speak a little more quietly and calm down. You scared me..." Liu Mei bit her lip, moaned, and looked at Lai San with tearful eyes.

"Third brother, you pulled my hand so hard that it hurts..."

Lai San's chest seemed to be hit hard by something, and he immediately let go of her, "I'm sorry, Meimei, I was too excited... I have a bad temper, I just can't stop being angry..."

Liu Mei sobbed with tears in her eyes, "Do you think I want to marry him? I am forced to do this by my father. If you do this, my father will only be more dissatisfied with our relationship. You go back first, I will talk to my father..."

Lai San was not a fool. He watched her little movements silently, his eyes showing something. He finally sneered, "Meimei, your father hasn't woken up yet. Don't you want Nokia? I bought it for you. I forgot to bring it. Come with me to my house to get it."

Liu Mei wiped away her tears and pretended to be reserved, "It's not so good..."

Lai San persuaded him kindly, "What's wrong with that? It's not far. Let's go. Here's some white peach-flavored sparkling water I bought for you from the county. Haven't you always wanted to drink it?"

Liu Mei took it shyly, bit the straw, and took a sip, "Thank you..."

A dark light flashed across Lai San's smiling eyes. The two walked one after the other. Not long after, Liu Mei felt dizzy and the drink in her hand fell to the ground. Lai San hugged her and carried her on his shoulders, revealing a pair of red eyes like a beast, "Meimei, don't blame me, you forced me to do this!"

Lai San's mother was still at home, so he didn't dare to carry her back openly. So he took a detour to a deserted thatched cottage. As soon as he walked onto the narrow goat path, a figure came out timidly from behind. It was Wang Dong, the youngest son of the village chief.

Although he was young, he could tell that Lai San was going to do something bad, so he ran to Liu's house in a hurry. When he was almost there, he ran into Jin Jiu who had just returned from killing a pig. "What's wrong, Dongzi? Did I see a ghost?"

Wang Dong held his knees and panted, "It's not a ghost, it's Lai San. He carried Sister Liu Mei to the broken hut!!!"

Jin Jiu clenched the butcher knife in his hand, his whole body trembling, "Damn it, he's looking for death!"

In the leaky hut, Liu Mei lay on a rotten bed covered with straw, her lips slightly parted, her face flushed, her eyes opening and closing, "It's so hot..."

"Meimei, wait a moment, it won't be hot anymore!"

Lai San quickly took off his clothes, and just as his hand touched the knotted buttons on her chest, the door was broken open from the outside, and Jin Jiu rushed in with a pig-killing knife.

"Lai San, you're looking for death!" A knife was chopped down, but Lai San dodged and the knife hit the wall.

Lai San had nothing in his hands and could only run with his bare bottom, "No, Brother Jin Jiu, listen to me..."

"Say it to your mother!!!" Jin Jiu was taller than him and kicked him fiercely. Lai San hit the counter, rolled his eyes and fainted. Jin Jiu went up and kicked him a few more times, "It's so hot..."

Liu Mei's voice is usually very cute, not to mention that she drank the medicine that attracts piglets...

Jin Jiu walked uncontrollably towards the bed, some sweat rolling down the lines of his skin towards the forbidden area. All of Liu Mei's rationality was burned out. She felt someone approaching, so she hugged his strong, dark back and scratched it twice, "It's so hot..."

Jin Jiu knew that he should push her away, but the dirty and perverted thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for a long time grew wildly. He hugged Liu Mei and closed the door tightly...

I don't know when a few crows landed on the thatched hut.

But he was soon scared away by the obscene sounds coming from the thatched hut.

In the deserted graveyard behind the thatched cottage, the soldier held a dogtail grass in his mouth and listened with his ears cocked. His eyes were cold and icy, full of viciousness. "This is quite a commotion... We've finished the job, it's time to go home and eat!"

He stood up by the tombstone, brushed off the dust on his body, put his hands together, and muttered in a mysterious voice, "Sorry to bother you, sorry to bother you..."

Humming a little tune, he turned onto a deserted path. The crows on the dead tree tilted their heads to look at him. He had no intention of attacking Jin Jiu at first, but this guy had dared to attack Liang Jingxuan in order to vent his anger for Liu Mei. Then they should all die!

Walking to the main road, he looked at the smoke rising from the Liu family's house, with a gloomy expression, and a pair of black and white eyes brewing an extremely dangerous storm...

“Second Uncle!” Wang Dong ran towards him panting, “I can’t find my Ultraman, where…where did you see it…”

The army soldier gathered his coat and hid Ultraman behind his waist guiltily, "Didn't I tell you it's at the fork in the road by the old locust tree?"

Wang Dong was so anxious that he almost cried, and dragged him away, "No, I've looked for it several times, can you come with me?"

"Okay, okay, I'll go with you!" The Army soldier followed him in a shaky manner, protecting his waist.

It was already noon when Lu Jun returned home. Liang Jingxuan was swinging on the swing under the osmanthus tree with the rabbit in her arms. Lu Sui held the rope tightly and pushed gently. The spring breeze blew gently, "Honey, a little higher!"

"If it's any higher, I'll fall!"

"No~"

"Second Uncle!" Liang Jingxuan saw him coming back, stopped swinging on the swing, stopped hugging the rabbit, and trotted over to him, "Why did you come back just now?! Have you eaten? Playing mahjong will make you hungry..."

Lu Sui stood behind the two of them, pursed his lips, and a trace of solemnity flashed across his eyes.

The army pulled his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "I just came back hungry, right? Are you a good kid at home?"

Liang Jingxuan hugged him and nodded, "Yes! But my husband is not obedient, he doesn't let me play with the bird..."
