Chapter 45: Are you guys just hugging in the yard?
Su Rouer was a little excited, but also a little nervous.
Although Yu Sanbao said that he had never beaten or scolded her these days and that they could communicate calmly about anything, Su Rouer knew in her heart that Yu Sanbao did not treat her the same as before.
Just like now, it has been a long time since I took the initiative to talk to her like this.
After going out, the two of them walked towards the third room. Su Rouer couldn't help but called out softly, "Brother Bao."
It means that the three leopards stopped in their tracks.
Su Rouer had tears in her eyes and she tried hard to hold back her sobs as she said, "Brother Bao, I know I was wrong before..."
Yu Sanbao didn't say anything for a long time, and Su Rouer became more and more uneasy.
After a long while, Yu Sanbao finally spoke, but he asked Su Rouer: "What happened to your forehead?"
Su Rouer was shocked. She went back to her room today, carefully let down some of her hair, put on some powder, and tried hard to cover it up. Unexpectedly, Yu Sanbao still saw it.
She felt sweet and a little uneasy in her heart, and forced a smile: "...I fell accidentally."
Yu Sanbao's eyes, which had been somewhat relaxed, hardened again. He said in a faint voice, "People say that a couple who sleep in the same bed are the closest two people. Is there anything you can't say to me? You have always favored the Su family, and I always thought that I should love you more... But after so many years, do you still think that I, a peasant, am not worthy of being a family with you? Ju Ge'er is the son of a peasant like me, but he is no match for the Su family?"
Su Rouer couldn't hold back her tears and shook her head in panic: "No, no."
She choked up and whispered, "Brother Bao, I don't think so. Your family spent a lot of money to marry me back then, and treated me so well... I was crazy before, and I will definitely live a good life with you in the future."
Yu Sanbao was also somewhat moved.
He then asked, "What about the wound on your forehead? ... I asked mother, and she said you got it when you came back from Su's house."
Su Rouer couldn't hide it any longer, so she burst into tears, "...I went back to the Su family to get my and Ju Ge'er's luggage, and my sister-in-law asked me for money for Xiaobao's medicine, saying that Ju Ge'er broke Xiaobao's head and it cost a lot of money. I had no money, so I naturally couldn't give it to him, and then my sister-in-law pushed me and my head hit the table..."
Yu Sanbao was so angry that he clenched his fists!
Su Rouer knew Yu Sanbao's temper, and she was so scared that she quickly grabbed Yu Sanbao's hand and said, "Brother Bao, don't be angry!... My sister-in-law gave me a push, so I should just think of it as a mother paying back Ju'er's debt."
Yu Sanbao let out a long sigh and hugged Su Rouer.
Tears welled up in Su Rouer's eyes. She could feel that her man was finally willing to treat her like he used to!
The couple had just hugged each other affectionately for a while when a somewhat shocked voice was heard.
"Oh, Dad, Mom, just hug each other in the yard! Shy!"
Orange boy screamed in shock.
Under the silent moonlit night, Ju Ge'er's voice was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire yard!
Su Rouer's face turned red in an instant!
She pushed Yu Sanbao away and hurried into their third bedroom.
Yu Sanbao: “…”
This unlucky son!
He strode forward, picked up his son, tucked him under the creek, and took him back to the room to teach him a lesson!
…
The next day, Old Man Yu took his four sons to a farm about ten miles to the west to look for work. Li Chunhua took Huai'er and Bai'er back to her parents' home. For a while, only three adults, Wei Pozi, Bai Xiaofeng, and Su Rou'er, and four children, Liu'er, Gui'er, Ju'er, and Xingxing, were left in the Yu family.
The chicken that Luo Yiniu's father had sent over earlier had already started laying eggs, and they had laid quite a few eggs in the past few days. Mrs. Wei glanced at the increasingly spreading purple spot on Su Rouer's forehead, frowned, and asked Bai Xiaofeng to boil an egg to roll on Su Rouer's forehead.
Bai Xiaofeng agreed crisply.
Su Rouer was very moved and offered, "Sister-in-law, let me boil some water for you."
Bai Xiaofeng said, "Eh?" "Can you make a fire?"
She wasn't being weird, it's just that Su Rouer had been married to the Yu family for more than five years, and she had rarely seen Su Rouer cook.
Su Rouer's face turned red again.
Bai Xiaofeng said hurriedly, "Don't think too much, Third Sister-in-law. I just think your hands are very tender. It's so suffocating in this room, and I'm afraid it might hurt you."
Su Rouer bit her lip and blushed: "Second sister-in-law, I can do it. Let me do it."
During the time she was at her parents' home, she was responsible for making fire, cooking and washing dishes.
Bai Xiaofeng stood aside with some curiosity, watching Su Rouer make a fire.
Seeing Su Rouer's skillful movements, she sighed inwardly.
The adults were busy with their own things, so the children made an appointment to go play by the stream.
Bai Xiaofeng poked his head out of the kitchen and instructed: "——Liu Ge'er, keep an eye on your brothers and sisters. Just play by the stream and don't go too deep!"
Liu Ge'er responded and ran away with the children.
Bai Xiaofeng smiled and shook her head: "What a bunch of naughty kids."
As she spoke, she saw Su Rouer staring blankly out the window at the figures of several children running out of the door.
Bai Xiaofeng thought too much and thought that Su Rouer was worried that Liu Ge'er and the others would not be able to take good care of Ju Ge'er. She curled her lips and said, "Hey, if you are worried, I will let Liu Ge'er send Ju Ge'er back..."
Su Rouer shook her head quickly and said with a bitter smile: "No, second sister-in-law, I was thinking that my nephew from my mother's side, Dabao, is older, so it's okay, but Xiaobao is close to Ju Ge'er in age, but I never want to take him to play..."
Bai Xiaofeng glanced at Su Rouer and said, "That's not true. Ju Ge's last name is Yu, and he and our brothers Liu and Gui are real brothers. Even Xing Xing, whose last name is also Yu, treats Liu Ge and the others as her real brothers."
Su Rouer lowered her head, speechless.
Bai Xiaofeng didn't talk much with Su Rouer on weekdays. Seeing Su Rouer stop talking after being stabbed by her, she couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. She coughed and smoothed things over: "Okay, the fire is almost lit. You boil the eggs. Don't use the water. I need to wash my hair later."
Su Rouer responded softly.
…
A few children were by the creek, originally planning to turn over the rocks to look for small crabs and shrimps, but they never imagined that the creek would resume flowing just over a month later and already there were fish again.
The children were so frightened that they screamed.
Liu Ge'er was smart. He thought for a moment and said, "I think it has reconnected with the Mao River. This fish must have come from the Mao River."
Several children nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Do you want to eat fish?" asked Liu Ge'er.
Xing Xing's mouth was watering: "I want to!"
Fish is so cute, it must be delicious!
The brothers and sisters were ready to fight when Luo Qianniu came over, pouted, and said to the Yu children, "Are you still playing here? It seems someone has come to your house and is making a scene in the yard."
