The fish has been grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, emitting bursts of fragrance.
Cheng Jingmo was still unsatisfied and looked at Yu Xiangnian with burning eyes.
He had seen and imagined the scene just now in books.
But he didn't dare to think about letting Yu Xiangnian serve him, nor could he bear to do it.
Now that he has tried it once, it feels really good and he wants it again.
Yu Xiangnian met his gaze and said teasingly, "Didn't you say you would endure it until you get back to the family compound?"
Cheng Jingmo felt ashamed and quickly changed the subject, "The fish is ready."
He took down the wooden stick that held the fish, tore off a piece of fish meat, and handed it to Yu Xiangnian, "Try it."
Yu Xiangnian took a bite and nodded, "The fish that grew up in your bath water is delicious!"
Cheng Jingmo: "...Yu Xiangnian, be serious."
Yu Xiangnian said, "A serious person wouldn't do what you just did. If you like serious things, then I'll be serious!"
Cheng Jingmo: “…” Don’t be serious.
The two walked home hand in hand, and the moonlight stretched their figures very long.
The surroundings were completely quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the sound of two people's synchronized footsteps.
Cheng Jingmo asked, "Niannian, tomorrow is our local market day, do you want to go and see it?"
"think."
"Then I'll wake you up tomorrow morning. You have to get up early so you can catch the carriage."
"Okay, let's go to bed as soon as we get home."
"I'll carry you back." Cheng Jingmo said as he squatted down, "It's still a long way to go, don't get tired."
Yu Xiangnian didn't hesitate and lay on top of him.
Cheng Jingmo carried her on his back and walked forward with firm steps, and their figures merged into one behind him.
When the two of them reached the intersection of Cheng Jingmo's house, a man suddenly jumped out from the corner of the wall.
Cheng Jingmo was the first to see the other person clearly and asked in surprise, "Dongju?"
"Why are you here so late?" he asked again.
"Brother Pickup Baby, sister-in-law." Dongju's voice sounded weak, "He's been drinking again."
It goes without saying who he is, and Dongju definitely doesn't dare to go home.
Cheng Jingmo couldn't go to Dongju's house to teach Dong Xingwang a lesson for drinking, nor could he let Dongju stay overnight at his house.
He didn't know what to say at this moment.
Yu Xiangnian was still lying on Cheng Jingmo's back, and she didn't want to say anything.
Her kindness was rejected last time, and now Dongju comes here again, seeking comfort or something?
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a while, Dongju finally spoke, "Brother Pickup Baby, Sister-in-law, can you help me?"
Cheng Jingmo asked: "How do you want us to help you?"
Dongju said, "I didn't want to live with him for a long time, but every time I chased him away, he would beat me up and even threaten to kill my whole family."
Yu Xiangnian: “…” This kind of man should have been driven away long ago. He has been kept here for several years!
Dongju added, "He beat me every day. He beat my mother when she came to help me. He broke her leg."
She choked up as she spoke!
Cheng Jingmo held Yu Xiangnian with his hands behind his back, and at this moment, his fingers were bent.
When he was a child, he also heard that someone beat his wife, but it was only once in a while.
After he joined the army, he had only seen Captain Zhang beat his wife occasionally, but he never hit her so hard.
Dongju's mother's legs were broken by the beating. How severe was the blow?
Dongju started talking again, this time with hatred in her tone, "I wish he would die every day! I would rather not have this man! But I can't beat him!"
Cheng Jingmo felt resentful, but his voice remained calm. "You can divorce him."
Dongju wiped her tears and said angrily, "I mentioned divorce! But he came to marry into my family. His original family didn't give him a house or land. If we divorced, he would have nowhere to go. He refused to divorce!"
"He said there's no way we can get a divorce. Either he dies or I die!" Dongju cried more and more sadly. "Sometimes I wish I were dead, but if I die, what will happen to my mother and child?"
Cheng Jingmo: “…”
It's really difficult to deal with such a scoundrel.
Yu Xiangnian: “…”
Someone is crying their eyes out in front of you, and you have no reaction at all? You should at least offer some words of comfort!
Finally, it was Yu Xiangnian who spoke, "Dongju, don't cry. Cheng Jingmo will help you. Your problem can't be done today. Wait for him to think of a solution."
Dongju wiped her tears and sobbed, "Brother Jianwa and sister-in-law, I can only rely on you."
Although everyone in the village knew about Dong Xingwang's domestic violence, they only came to persuade him when he was beating people. They could only help him in the moment, but not in the long run.
She placed her only hope on Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian.
They are both educated and come from big cities, so they can definitely think of ways to help her.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Dongju, don't worry, I will help you. Go back first. It's so late, it's not safe for you to be outside."
Yu Xiangnian moved on Cheng Jingmo's body, "Put me down and send Dongju back first. If Dong Xingwang beats someone at home, you can help him."
Cheng Jingmo squatted down and asked Yu Xiangnian to get down. Neither of them noticed the envious look in Dongju's eyes.
The guy who picked up the baby is so good to his wife!
That damned man in her family would scold her if she didn't do any housework, let alone carry her on his back.
Cheng Jingmo said, "Dongju, wait here for a while. I'll take your sister-in-law home first."
The distance from the intersection to home is fifty or sixty meters, and the brother who picked up the baby was worried about his wife going back alone.
Even if she died outside, the dead man in her family would not care about her.
The more I compare, the more I feel like I’m not living a good life!
That man in her family, let him die!
Cheng Jingmo sent Yu Xiangnian back home, then turned around and went out to see Dongju off.
On the way, Dongju said enviously: "Brother Jianwa, you are so good to your wife!"
Cheng Jingmo just felt that he was not good enough to Xiang Nian. Someone as good as Xiang Nian deserved the best things in the world.
Cheng Jingmo didn't want to talk about him and Yu Xiangnian with others, so he changed the subject and asked, "Have you gone to the township government to inquire about divorce?"
"No, I asked the village chief, and he said the procedures were complicated."
Cheng Jingmo said, "I'm going to the village tomorrow to ask about the situation and then figure out what to do."
"Excuse me, baby-picker."
Cheng Jingmo sent Dongju to the door of her home and asked her to go into the house to see what was going on.
Dongju went in for a while and came out again, "Brother Jianwa, he is drunk and asleep, you should go back."
"Um."
Cheng Jingmo returned home, washed up, and when he entered the house, Yu Xiangnian was already asleep, leaving the light on for him.
The dim light of the kerosene lamp cast a small shadow under Xiang Nian's crow-feather eyelashes.
She was motionless, only the quilt rose and fell evenly.
Cheng Jingmo stared at Yu Xiangnian's little face, and suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
How could he marry such a lovely wife?!
He lay on the bed and hugged Yu Xiangnian in his arms, feeling warm in his heart.
