The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. He Jiuniang patted him on the back again and said, "Behave yourself when I'm applying the medicine, don't move around!"
Lu Baobao felt a little wronged again. He clearly hadn't moved, so why did his wife keep hitting him?
After applying the medicine, in order to prevent the ointment from being rubbed off by his clothes, He Jiuniang told him to lie there with his upper body bare until the ointment dried.
After a short while, Lu Baobao started moving again.
"Honey, I'm thirsty. Wait here, I'll go get you some water!"
He Jiuniang wasn't quite sure if he said it on purpose or if he was drunk and misspoke.
Anyway, she didn't want to talk to him anymore, so let him do whatever he wanted.
She nodded haphazardly, wrapped herself in the blanket and tried to sleep, but Lu Baichuan quickly jumped out of bed and went to the kitchen to get water.
He returned shortly after and shook He Jiuniang, who was just starting to feel sleepy, awake: "Wife, wife, the water's here, have some water!"
He Jiuniang really wanted to hit him, but considering he was drunk, she forced herself to hold back.
"I don't want to drink it, you drink it, don't bother me."
Lu Baichuan sat at the table with a somewhat melancholy expression and said in a low voice, "With the disaster so severe, you've saved all your water for the dogs. How could you not be thirsty?"
Upon hearing this, He Jiuniang immediately opened her eyes and looked at him. Did this man's memory become disordered after drinking?
While he was still in a daze, Lu Baichuan had already brought over a cup of tea from the table and leaned over the bedside, gently coaxing, "Wife, drink it. With me here, I will definitely make sure you have water to drink. I know you have suffered a lot while I was away, and I will never let you suffer again. I will give you anything good."
He Jiuniang wasn't thirsty at first, but upon hearing this, she inexplicably felt thirsty and actually took the water cup and took a sip.
Looking up, he saw that the door wasn't bolted, and ordered, "Go and bolt the door."
Lu Baichuan shook his head: "We can't lock it. If we encounter danger at night, it will be difficult to escape if the door is locked."
He Jiuniang knew that he was probably talking about his life outside all these years. As an undercover agent, he had to be vigilant at all times to avoid being discovered or attacked, so he never locked the door when he slept, right?
Thinking of all this, He Jiuniang suddenly stopped being angry, and her eyes even showed a hint of heartache when she looked at Lu Baichuan.
Perhaps the original owner, unaware of the truth, blamed her husband for abandoning her on the second day of their marriage, leaving her to endure criticism and struggle to raise her dog.
From her perspective, however, she could understand Lu Baichuan's actions. Given the circumstances back then, he might have starved to death with his family if he had gone back. It was better to take a gamble and turn his life around.
If it weren't for his years of hard work and official appointment, the situation of Lianhua being bullied today wouldn't have ended so easily.
It can only be said that there are gains and losses; it all depends on what those involved think.
"Alright, alright, go to sleep now."
Thinking of all this, she couldn't bear to blame him for getting drunk and acting crazy tonight, and even her tone of voice became much gentler.
Lu Baichuan nodded, climbed onto the bed, and lay down to sleep as He Jiuniang had instructed.
He Jiuniang thought, "Finally, I can get a good night's sleep." So she blew out the candlestick by her bedside and lay down to sleep.
She was sleepy, but the other person was not. In the darkness, he opened his bright, sparkling eyes and looked in He Jiu Niang's direction.
I watched for a while, but then I felt unsatisfied and started doing it myself.
He touched her eyebrows and eyes, then pinched her nose and cheeks, becoming happier with each touch.
His wife is wonderful in every way, even her eyelashes are so cute.
"Clap clap clap!"
In the darkness, several slapping sounds rang out abruptly, followed by He Jiu Niang's furious voice: "If you're not going to sleep, get out!"
She grabbed Lu Baichuan's hand and slapped it mercilessly on the back of his hand, yelling as she did so, "If you can't hold your liquor, go sit at the kids' table. Don't bother me in the middle of the night!"
Just a moment ago I felt sorry for him, but in this short time my pity turned into hatred, and I wished I could break his hand.
Lu Baichuan was suddenly hit. He pursed his lips and didn't dare to speak. In the darkness, he couldn't see He Jiuniang's face, but he could imagine that she must be very angry at this moment. So he said cautiously, "Wife, don't be angry. I'll sleep if you hold me."
He Jiuniang was truly driven mad by him. She forcefully pressed his head into her arms and threatened through gritted teeth, "Sleep with me, or I'll kill you!"
Lu Baichuan really didn't dare to move. Although his wife was holding him so tightly that it was a little difficult for him to breathe, his wife's arms smelled so good and were so soft, and he instantly felt sleepy.
Hearing the breathing become even in an instant, He Jiu Niang rolled her eyes.
Is this the opportunity that Ms. Sun created for her?
If she had known it would end like this, she wouldn't have wanted the opportunity!
She's really a stalker!
Fortunately, she was really tired, so she didn't stay angry for long and fell into a deep sleep while still holding Lu Baichuan's head.
That night, Old Man Lu was also having a bad time.
He had drunk too much, and although he wouldn't cause as much trouble as Lu Baichuan, he still wanted to get a good night's sleep.
No sooner had he fallen than his wife slapped him so he was forced to stand up as punishment.
"Lu Xing, you've really grown up, haven't you?"
Sun sat on the bed, looking at him coldly, her eyes filled with venom. Old Lu was sobered up a bit by the fright.
"What's wrong now, so late at night?"
He spoke softly, and his son and daughter-in-law were probably still awake at this time. If they heard him being punished by his wife to stand again, they would definitely laugh at him behind his back.
"What's wrong? You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong! Why didn't you discuss your plan to buy land and build an ancestral hall with me? You've grown some guts, haven't you? Have you forgotten who's in charge of this family? If I don't give you the money, let's see how you'll buy land and build an ancestral hall! Humph!"
Old Lu then realized that he had been so carried away with his pride that he had forgotten such an important matter.
He was completely sober now. Looking at the old woman in front of him, he smiled ingratiatingly: "Look, we've been here for so long, shouldn't we give our ancestors a place to rest? Right now, only our family is doing relatively well; the other clansmen are either dead or scattered..."
"Stop giving me that nonsense. I was talking about not letting you build an ancestral hall, wasn't I?"
Sun interrupted him impatiently. After being married for decades, she knew exactly what kind of person Old Man Lu was.
Old Lu licked his lips and readily admitted his mistake: "I didn't think things through today. I know you're not against me building the ancestral hall, you're just angry that I didn't discuss it with you beforehand. I promise I'll definitely discuss it with you next time, okay?"
Sun looked at him with some surprise: "You want a next time?"
Old Man Lu: ...
Say nothing more, just make him stand there as punishment.
The old couple stared at each other in the house, listening to the noises coming from their third son's room, with the door opening and closing intermittently. Old Lu even started to doze off while standing.
In a daze, I suddenly heard He Jiu Niang curse, "If you're not going to sleep, get out!"
The elderly couple instantly snapped out of their daze, exchanged a glance, and hurriedly ran to the door to listen for any sounds.
After listening for a while, when there seemed to be no sound, Mrs. Sun sighed softly, "What has raising a son brought me? Just a bunch of troublesome things! I've put opportunities right in front of him, but he doesn't know how to seize them. He's going to drive me crazy!"
