Chapter 198 Good Bamboo Shoots Come From Bad Bamboo
Xu Qingye hummed, "She may have misunderstood something. I will explain it to her when I have the chance."
Song Yuntang became even more curious.
"What is it?"
In the dark night, the man looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes.
"Really want to know?"
Song Yuntang asked casually, "Is it something I can't know?"
"Not really." Xu Qingye coughed, "Actually, it's okay to tell you. Before I went to bed last night, my mother specifically reminded me to heat up the water on the stove. When I woke up this morning and saw that the water on the stove was still there, I thought... I had a hidden illness."
Song Yuntang suddenly felt that being too curious was sometimes not a good thing.
Then I thought about how this usually mature and steady man would react when he heard these words, and I felt like laughing again.
Seeing her slightly shaking shoulders, Xu Qingye looked helpless.
"Laugh if you want to."
As if feeling something was wrong, Song Yuntang restrained his smile.
"Didn't you explain to Mom?"
"No." Xu Qingye said, "Let her misunderstand. Otherwise, she will come to do your job one day."
A strange feeling flashed through Song Yuntang's heart.
She didn't think as far-reachingly as Xu Qingye did.
Yes, she was married but did not sleep with her husband. She was probably the only one in the villages around Cile Town.
Only Xu Qingye would rather be misunderstood by his family members for having a hidden illness than not accommodate them.
She turned back to face him, leaned over and took his hand, placing her hand over his pulse.
After a moment, he put his hand down.
"The lesions in your body have been completely removed. Although your body is still a little weak, you don't have any hidden illness. Just rest and recuperate for a while. There's no rush for that kind of thing."
It is normal for an adult man to have needs.
Since she had chosen to get married, as a normal couple, she had no intention of maintaining her innocence.
I just want to give it some time to adapt and let everything fall into place naturally.
Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled. The moonlight poured in from the window, shining on the side of his face. His high nose bridge completely blocked the light that was shining on the other side of his face.
He raised his hand and rubbed Song Yuntang's head.
"I told you I won't force you. Don't think too much. Just go to sleep."
"Um."
Song Yuntang was still sleeping facing the wall like he did last night, tightly pressed against it.
As if she felt something was not right, she moved her body to the middle position.
Xu Qingye watched her actions but didn't say anything. He just lay quietly in his seat, glancing in her direction from time to time.
After a busy day, Song Yuntang fell asleep very quickly.
Perhaps because he was too close to Xu Qingye, he felt hot and threw off the quilt covering him.
Seeing this, Xu Qingye considerately picked up the corner of the quilt and put it on her body, but after a while, she lifted it up again and turned over impatiently, facing the man.
Xu Qingye curled the corners of his lips and picked up the corner of the quilt and put it on her again.
After a while, Song Yuntang waved his arm, which was covered with the quilt, and not only lifted the quilt again, but also placed his entire arm on Xu Qingye's chest.
Now, for fear of waking her up, he didn't dare move and maintained this position until the next morning.
When Song Yuntang woke up, the first thing he saw was Xu Qingye's profile.
I was just wondering why he got up so late today.
Looking down, she saw her hands tightly wrapped around his waist.
She was so scared that she quickly raised her arms, turned over and lay flat on the bed to relax. She looked to the side again and saw that he was still asleep. She felt his pulse and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She climbed out of the bed quietly, dressed neatly and went out of the yard.
Jiang, Xu Yongwang and Xu Wencheng had already gotten up.
Seeing Song Yuntang coming out of the house, Jiang looked into the house with a smile.
"Tang'er, Qingye hasn't woken up yet?"
Song Yuntang nodded, "He's still sleeping. I saw he was sleeping soundly so I didn't wake him up."
Xu Wencheng's face was full of surprise.
"Usually I get up later than my elder brother, but today he finally slept in."
"Go away." Jiang glared at him, but couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. "What does a little kid know?"
Xu Wencheng curled his lips.
"I'm not a child."
Only then did Song Yuntang realize that Jiang had misunderstood something again.
But she didn't want to explain. She and Xu Qingye were husband and wife. It was just a misunderstanding. It was bound to be resolved sooner or later.
"Mom, what shall we have for breakfast?"
Jiang smiled and said, "I cooked some porridge, boiled some white flour cakes, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for you to nourish your bodies. Go wash up and you can eat soon."
Song Yuntang responded and took a basin to the kitchen to pour water. "Mom, I have an appointment to discuss business in town today. I won't be home in the morning. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."
Jiang was stunned.
"You're not eating at home at noon?"
Song Yuntang hummed.
"I've been busy these days, I hope you can forgive me."
Jiang looked at her with a calm expression.
"Logically speaking, it's a good thing that you're busy, which means business is good, so mom shouldn't say anything, but you also have to take care of your body. When you're young, everyone thinks they have endless energy, but even so, you have to do things within your ability."
Song Yuntang nodded, "Don't worry, mother. I know what I'm doing."
Jiang added, "Wencheng is idle at home now. If there is anything he can do, we can use him. We don't need to pay him. We are family, so we can save as much as we can."
"If we really let Wencheng help, we still have to pay him the wages he deserves," Song Yuntang joked, "otherwise people will say I'm abusing my brother-in-law."
Jiang was amused by her and laughed out loud.
"My family is happy, but others are not happy? Those who love to gossip are really bored."
Just then, there was a knock on the gate and a mosquito-like sound came from outside the yard.
"Second uncle, second aunt."
Song Yuntang had just gone out of the yard to get some water to wash his face when he heard a knock on the door, so he went forward and opened the door.
"Who are you……"
The youngest cousin who followed Xu Cui yesterday.
However, Song Yuntang did not know her name, he only knew her two sisters, the eldest sister was named Cheng Xiaoqian and the second sister was named Cheng Xiaofang.
The girl nodded towards her and said, "Hello, cousin, I am Cheng Nian'er. My mother asked me to borrow your mule cart to take us back to Yanliu Village."
The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.
Even though everything was so unpleasant yesterday, my mother still wanted to borrow my cousin's wife's mule cart.
She didn't have the face to come herself, so she secretly asked my grandparents to come when they weren't paying attention.
If she hadn't been unable to resist, she really didn't want to embarrass this person.
Song Yuntang looked at the cousin in front of him. Unlike her two older sisters, there were always good bamboo shoots among the bad bamboo shoots.
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. I just have to go to town by mule cart to do some work. I made an appointment with someone a few days ago and I can't delay it."
