Chapter 8 [Revision]
There were bags of various sizes on the table in the room.
Wen Yue opened it with curiosity, and a touch of fresh goose yellow caught her eyes. She was stunned for a moment, and when she took it out, she found that it was a goose yellow small V-neck solid color short-sleeved dress, with a beige belt around the waist to tighten the waist. Even from the perspective of later generations, this dress is very good.
The other two bags contained a pair of flared jeans, a solid white loose shirt, a denim jacket, a dark red loose shirt with white polka dots, and a black A-line skirt.
This kind of clothing was called retro style in later generations and was quite popular.
The remaining things were soap, shampoo, vanishing cream, and some vegetables, such as pork and tofu.
It seems like most of them were bought for her?
Wen Yue was somewhat touched, thinking that Zhou Yao was a nice person apart from his foul mouth and stubbornness.
Her eyes flickered twice, and she walked to the kitchen with soap and shampoo.
Zhou Yao had finished slurping the noodles and was bending over to simmer the hot pot. His clothes rolled up as he moved, revealing his narrow, tanned waist. In his hand, he was holding a bamboo brush used for simmering hot pot, and several veins bulged on the back of his hand.
"These things are all bought for me." Wen Yue's eyes were brighter than the light bulb above her head.
Zhou Yao glanced at her lazily: "What else?" Could it be that he bought it for himself?
Wen Yue's eyes curved into crescents: "Thank you, I like it very much! You have a good taste, the clothes you bought are very beautiful, you must have spent a lot of money, right?"
"Not much money." Zhou Yao answered calmly. The soap, shampoo and vanishing cream only cost about ten yuan in total.
As for clothes, if you round them up, they’re no different from free.
"The water is on, are you going to take a shower?"
Wen Yue nodded: "Okay."
She went back into the house to get some clean clothes.
"Don't wear new clothes?" Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows and looked over, with a probing look in his eyes.
Wen Yue explained: "Wash it again tomorrow and wear it again."
Zhou Yao was quite satisfied with this answer, "Okay."
So Wen Yue was about to go into the cubicle with her clothes in her arms, but suddenly she remembered what she was going to say. She stopped in her tracks, turned around and asked tentatively, "Zhou Yao, are you free tomorrow?"
Zhou Yao: “?”
He threw out two words coldly: "What's the matter?"
"I have a little thing to trouble you with." Wen Yue blinked, her beautiful round almond eyes looked innocent and harmless, "It's like this, before my grandmother passed away, she said she would give me her land, and I also have land, but now it is in the hands of my uncle, can you accompany me to the Wen family tomorrow?"
Zhou Yao said, "Oh!" Then he suddenly realized what was going on and said, "You are scared, right?"
Wen Yue pouted and whispered, "My aunt is a bit fierce..."
"Okay." This was not a difficult thing for him, so he simply agreed and said with a half-smile, "I'll go and give you courage."
"Thank you." After getting the answer she wanted, Wen Yue narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and said in a sweet voice, "Yes, I really feel safe with you by my side~"
With that big physique, even if he doesn't hit anyone, he can still get beaten.
Zhou Yao looked at her expressionlessly: "Speak properly and don't make such strange noises."
Wen Yue: “…” Tsk, such an ignorant person.
She rolled her eyes in a rather arrogant manner, humming a tune quietly as she entered the cubicle with her clothes in her arms. With the soap, she took a much slower shower. Although she was still worried about spiders, mice, and other snakes and insects coming out, it was also important to wash herself clean!
After taking a shower, Wen Yue said good night to Zhou Yao with a smile and went back to her room to sleep.
-
The next day.
Wen Yue woke up again to the sound of roosters crowing. She lazily got up and sat on the bed for a while, waiting until the sleepiness in her eyes disappeared. Then she got up, dressed and put on her shoes and went out.
It was dawn. She stood at the door, stretched, yawned, and met the eyes of Zhou Yao who was brushing his teeth outside the kitchen with her red lips slightly parted.
The latter was probably still a little sleepy, and his double eyelids turned into single eyelids. He lifted his eyelids and looked over. His tired eyes were not very friendly, and he looked particularly fierce, which scared Wen Yue so much that she swallowed her yawn.
She thought for a moment and decided not to touch Zhou Yao, who was obviously in a bad mood after waking up. She bypassed him and went into the kitchen to get a toothbrush and toothpaste to brush her teeth.
Zhou Yao came in after brushing his teeth. He looked much more awake, but still a little lazy. He picked up a wooden ladle and scooped two scoops of water into the basin, then poured the water on his face with both hands. He was too lazy to wipe it with a towel, so he let the water on his face drip down his chin onto his clothes.
There were water droplets hanging on his thick black eyebrows and eyelashes, and his handsome facial features looked somewhat gentle after being wetted by the water.
"Want to have breakfast?" he asked, yawning.
Wen Yue put away her toothbrush and yawned, tears welling up in her eyes. She mumbled, "Do you want to eat?"
Zhou Yao: "I'm too lazy to eat, so just grab two pieces of walnut cake and come back as soon as possible."
Wen Yue made an OK gesture: "I'll wash my face."
After finishing their combing, the two left Zhou's house one after the other.
After Zhou Yao left, the other two families dared to speak.
The knife marks on Zhou Jianghai and Lin Fang's door were very obvious, they had been cut right through, and if they weren't repaired, the wind would leak in during the winter. The couple looked very unhappy, with dark circles under their eyes, they had quarreled very late last night, and they barely got up this morning.
"Second brother, are you and sister-in-law okay?" Zhou Qingshan glanced at Zhou Jianghai with scratches on his face, and said in a pretentious manner: "Zhou Yao is really something, he is getting more and more excessive. We are his elders after all, how can we draw our knives against our elders?" He did not mention what Lin Fang had done at all.
Zhou Jianghai said nothing, but the resentment in his eyes was very obvious.
Zhou Qingshan looked sympathetic, raised his hand and patted Zhou Jianghai on the shoulder, and sighed: "Oh, I don't know when these days will end." After that, he walked out.
Zhou Jianghai clenched his fists, drank the porridge in the bowl in two gulps, silently picked up the farm tools and went to work in the fields.
Wen Yue and Zhou Yao had already arrived at the Wen family's courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with Li Huahong's sharp voice. She had been cursing since early morning, and no one knew who she was cursing.
Hearing this voice, Wen Yue shuddered subconsciously, as if her heart was being tightly grasped by someone, and she felt very uncomfortable. This was the emotion that remained in the original owner's body, and it was obvious that she was really afraid of this aunt.
Wen Yue swallowed, turned her head and looked at the tall man beside her, feeling relieved.
Luckily she got someone to come along!
Wen Yue calmed herself down, took two steps forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
The courtyard door opened, and the woman who opened the door raised her eyebrows high, and her drooping eyes seemed to be gleaming with ferocity. Her eyes quickly locked onto Wen Yue, and the ferocity in her eyes became even more intense. She opened her big mouth and started to spit:
"What are you doing back here? I'm telling you, you little bitch, once you're married, you're done with the Wen family. Don't even think we can help you out!"
Li Huahong had obviously heard about Zhou Yao beating Wen Yue into the hospital the night before, and thought she was here to seek help from her family, so she looked disgusted. She was standing in a blind spot, so she couldn't see Zhou Yao next to her.
Looking at the spit floating in the air, Wen Yue silently took a small step back and whispered, "I'm here to get something. Before my grandmother passed away, she said she would give me her land, and I would have my own. A total of two acres of land and one acre of land."
"What did you say? You want land?" Li Huahong raised her eyelids, stared at Wen Yue with her drooping eyes, and spat: "You don't have any land, get out of here, get out of here, don't bother me!"
Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked by Li Huahong's dance. In addition, someone was watching her, so her voice became a little louder: "If you don't give it to me, I will go to the village chief to seek justice. The village chief also knows about this!"
"Hey, you little bitch, you are so rebellious! You have become powerful now that you are married, right? You have been eating my food, drinking my drinks and living my house for the past two years. It's good enough that I haven't asked you for money. How dare you ask me for land? I will beat you to death, you black-hearted thing!"
How could Li Huahong hand over the land? She turned around, picked up the broom under the eaves and rushed out.
The broom hit him in the face. Wen Yue didn't expect Li Huahong to attack him directly. He didn't have time to dodge and closed his eyes subconsciously.
The expected pain did not come. She carefully opened one eye and saw Zhou Yao's broad back.
He grabbed the broom in Li Huahong's hand, his brows furrowed, his eyes sharp like a beast, and said coldly: "Just talk, and try again if you dare to do that?"
"Zhou Yao?" Li Huahong was stunned for a moment, and her momentum was obviously weakened in front of Zhou Yao's tall and strong figure. She looked back and forth between the two of them, and then suddenly realized, "I know, you asked her to come here, right? I tell you, that land belongs to my family, and it has nothing to do with her!"
Li Huahong looked at Zhou Yao with an unfriendly look.
She said, how could Wen Yue, who was as brave as a mouse, dare to come to the house to ask for things, it turned out that this guy was instigating it behind the scenes!
Wen Yue's eyes widened: "You are such a shameless person, that was given to me by my grandma, and I have already informed the village chief!"
Li Huahong pretended not to understand: "That's my land! Get out of here! We in the Wen family don't welcome you two. Go away!" She wanted to pull the broom back and close the door, but no matter how hard she tried, the broom didn't move in Zhou Yao's hand.
Li Huahong's personality is very similar to Lin Fang to some extent. They are both shameless people who like to throw tantrums and make a fuss when encountering problems. People who are not as thick-skinned as them really have no way to deal with them.
Zhou Yao was able to subdue Lin Fang, so naturally he was not afraid of Li Huahong.
He flicked his hand lightly, and Li Huahong couldn't control herself and stepped back several steps, almost falling to the ground.
Zhou Yao kicked the door open roughly and dragged Wen Yue into the yard.
Li Huahong groaned and was a little dumbfounded: "What are you two going to do!?"
In the main room, Wen Yue's uncle Wen Guoqiang was eating breakfast.
On the table was a bowl of thick sweet potato porridge, with several boiled eggs in a bowl next to it, a plate of side dishes to go with the rice, and a small plate of pork scraps.
This breakfast is considered rich in the countryside.
He looked at the two people who appeared at the door of the main hall in surprise, and smiled amiably: "Xiao Yao, why are you two here? Have you had breakfast? Sit down and eat something?" He had a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked righteous and easy to talk to.
Wen Yue was about to say no, but Zhou Yao took the lead.
He raised his eyebrows and unceremoniously pulled away the bench and sat down, picking up the clean bowl and chopsticks beside him and picking up the pig fat residue: "Okay, it happens that we haven't had breakfast yet."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the confused Wen Yue, "What are you standing there for? Uncle asked you to sit down and have breakfast."
"……oh."
Although she didn't understand what was going on, Wen Yue still sat down obediently. As soon as her butt touched the stool, Zhou Yao placed a full bowl of sweet potato porridge in front of her.
The bowl in front of him had even more porridge, and the porridge in the basin was almost empty in an instant.
Wen Guoqiang's expression remained unchanged. "Is it enough? If not, eat two more eggs."
"Okay." Zhou Yao ate as he said, and drank two sips of the rice and side dishes, then said casually: "Uncle, my wife has three acres of land in your hands, isn't it time to return it to us?"
