Chapter 8 Husband and Wife
Under the moonlight, a thin figure leaned against the window, looking up at the bright moon in the sky with a dazed look in his eyes.
Jiang Huailiang returned to his wife's room from his parents' room. As soon as he entered, he saw the half of his wife's face hidden in the dark.
How painful must it have been when that playful little girl burned her cheek with a candle?
He walked over quietly and hugged the person from behind.
The petite Xu was almost suffocated by the huge creature.
"What are you doing? You're about to become successful, and now you're going to murder your own wife?"
"What are you talking about? You're already a mother of three, why are you still as careless as when you were little?"
Jiang Huailiang angrily scolded his wife, but she grabbed his ear and twisted it back and forth several times.
"Why don't you let go right away? Don't you know how much strength you have? If you use any more force, I'll have to go downstairs to accompany my sister!"
The person who was being disliked obediently loosened his claws, but continued to grumble in anger.
"Humph, you're always complaining about my strength and calling me a brute, right? I know neither of you two sisters is really interested in me. You two ignorant women are wasting such a talented person like me!"
Xu rubbed her waist speechlessly. Even though they had been separated for so many years, it only took three days for all the bad habits of this man to come back to her mind.
"Just shut up! You'll be a laughingstock if this gets out. You look like a black bear, yet you're so conceited and clingy all the time. If we hadn't been desperate, you wouldn't have given my sister away!"
"Yes, I got a great deal by marrying your sister. But then you insisted on marrying me. What's going on?"
"I'm blind!"
Pushing the person away angrily, how could Xu Shi at this moment show the slightest bit of virtuousness and gentleness she had shown in front of her parents-in-law and children? She was clearly a hot-tempered and unreasonable person.
"Hehehe, that's impossible. I know my wife well, and my eyesight is very sharp. Didn't you just grab a good talent like me?"
Xu ignored him and moved to the box to continue packing. Jiang Huailiang also came over with a big face, not minding the crowd in such a hot day, and sat close to his wife affectionately.
"Sister Yu, let's..."
"Stop it!"
Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes at her husband.
"How old am I? How can there be Sister Yu? I am Sister Yu's mother!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huailiang raised his hand and touched his wife's face.
“Nonsense again.
Don't think I'm still illiterate like before. I tell you, your husband is quite educated now. Do you think I don't know how old that middle-aged woman is?
As the old saying goes, "Forty-one is the flower of youth." You are not even twenty-eight now, and you are still fresh and beautiful!"
“Puff~~”
Xu couldn't help but chuckle at her husband's amusement, then slapped the man's claws away in a snarl of anger. She touched the two coin-sized scars on her face, and there was an inexplicable hint of self-loathing in her voice.
"Don't try to fool me with your magic. My face is burning like a ghost. How can it look good? I don't even dare to look in the mirror. If you dislike me, then it's okay..."
The man next to her picked up the unfinished words and bit them into his mouth in a rage.
The already sultry summer night was further heated by the lingering candlelight that burned for too long.
Jiang Huailiang used his actions to tell his wife that no matter in the past or in the future, it would always be the precious daughter of the Xu family who would despise the big black bear Jiang Jiazi, and it would never be the other way around.
After the couple spent a night together in Wushan, they woke up the next morning obviously even more intimate.
Jiang Huailiang watched his wife putting on makeup in front of the mirror, and thought about what his parents had told him for so many years about how difficult life was at home.
His eyes were filled with hostility.
The lecherous man who dared to come to his house in the middle of the night was found by him and killed with three cuts and six holes.
But he could never find his coquettish sister Yu again.
He clenched his fists and closed his eyes guiltily.
Jiang Huailiang, he is so sorry to his parents, wife and children!
Having narrowly escaped death from the defeated imperial army, he had, by some strange coincidence, joined the bandit army along with his sworn brother. For so many years, he had been on the brink of death, never daring to send a single message home.
He was afraid that if he failed, it would bring trouble to his entire family.
But unexpectedly, his wife, children, father and mother still suffered so much.
"What's wrong? Are you still sleepy?"
After washing up, Mrs. Xu turned back to her husband and bent down to push his arm.
"Don't sleep, I still have things to do today, ah...!"
She was pushed back to the bed and angrily slapped the silly bear's shoulder.
"I just combed my hair! It got messed up a while ago."
"Comb it if it gets messy. Can I comb it for you? Stay with me for another hour. You've been busy all night. Can't you just be kind to your man?"
"Shut up!"
After all, women are not as shameless as men. Hearing these nonsense in broad daylight, Xu's cheeks turned as red as the morning glow outside the window.
Xu Huailiang coaxed her with a smile in his eyes.
"My wife is really pretty, and our two girls will definitely be pretty too when they grow fatter. They all look like your Xu family, so pretty!"
"Didn't you brag last night that you were now a learned scholar? How come you can only say 'beautiful'? Are you at a loss for words?"
She pushed him away with all her strength, and he tactfully let go. Xu sat beside the bed and tidied up her clothes and hair that had been messed up by him.
"Stop talking nonsense and get up quickly. I'll take people to the ancestral grave and level your cenotaph. Be careful not to let anyone disturb my sister's grave. Before I leave, I'll take the children over to tell my sister about it."
"Don't worry, Jinniang's grave won't be moved for now. I'll find someone to repair it and then move her there. When we return to our roots, we can just lie down there."
"You decide on the arrangements. I can't let my sister down!"
"knew."
Jiang Huailiang was urged by his wife to get up and wash up. While tidying himself up, he chatted with his wife.
"After our brother Zhao recovered from his idiocy, he's actually smarter than most other smart kids! And our brother Hu is also very clever and lovable! Hehehe, I'm so lucky to have a good wife and a pair of wonderful daughters!"
"Don't yell along with your parents, or your daughters might get angry with you."
"I know, I know. Didn't I just tell you this? The eldest is Jiang Wan, and the second is Jiang Han, right? I remember it!"
He picked up the handkerchief from the wooden rack and wiped his face, then frowned and started talking about his son.
"But the third brother has obviously been spoiled, he's such a wimp. He's a real man, but he's beaten to a pulp by his sister all day long. If that gets out, it'll be a disgrace to me!"
