Both of them were flushed, especially Song Yan, whose mind involuntarily flashed back to the blush-inducing scene from just now, and the tips of his ears, which had just calmed down, turned red again involuntarily.
Wen Ruan was also very excited, her heart squeaking like a groundhog: "Mom, he's so good at it, waaaah, I'm sorry, I'm easily infatuated with men, I'm guilty, waaaah, but he really is so good at it."
The room was silent. Wen Ruan had initially felt a little awkward, but seeing Song Yan's uncomfortable expression, she couldn't resist teasing him. However, remembering her previous experience, she dared not provoke him further...
"Ahem, are you going back to the city tonight? Or will you go back first thing tomorrow morning?" Wen Ruan asked, feigning composure.
"First thing tomorrow morning."
"Oh, then get some rest." After saying that, Wen Ruan turned around, wanting to move back to the bedside.
Song Yan picked her up and put her back on the bed, telling her to wait patiently. Then he went to fetch water for her to wash up and wash her feet, looking every bit the dutiful and filial husband.
When Wen Ruan woke up the next day, Song Yan had already left early, estimating that he would be at work soon.
When she woke up in the morning, she felt much better in her foot. She could walk slowly, but it would sting a little if she walked too fast.
Wen Ruan slowly walked out of the room.
"Sister-in-law, you're up? Mom left you some food this morning, it's keeping warm in the big pot in the kitchen. Go wait at the table, I'll get it for you." Song Ling was sweeping the yard when she saw Wen Ruan come out, so she quickly put down what she was doing and brought her the food.
"Thank you, Xiaoling! By the way, do you know what time your second cousin left this morning?" Wen Ruan asked casually while eating.
“I’m not quite sure either. It seems like he left very early. My mom got up this morning to make him breakfast, but she didn’t have time.”
"Look, the mushrooms we brought back yesterday look like they were washed and dried by my brother," Song Ling said, pointing to the mushrooms drying in the yard.
Song Yan tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. He kept thinking about the scene from the night before, feeling extremely agitated. He looked at Wen Ruan sleeping so peacefully beside him, as if she didn't care at all, and he couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
I got up early, washed and dried the clothes that Mushroom and Wenruan had changed out of yesterday, and then went to work.
Following the direction Song Ling pointed, Wen Ruan suddenly saw her clothes drying in the yard. Her heart skipped a beat, knowing that Song Yan must have washed them.
But... her underwear was still inside!
Wen Ruan suddenly stood up, went into the room, and found that her underwear had already been washed and was hanging on the line inside. Her face turned so red that she almost felt hot. She had originally planned to wash it herself after Song Yan left... but she didn't expect...
"Secretary Song, are you in a good mood today?" The head of the security department came to see the factory director and asked Song Yan.
"Yeah, it's alright." Song Yan nodded calmly.
Song Yan felt that since last night, he had been inexplicably excited and had barely slept all night. Just when this feeling was about to dissipate, he saw Wen Ruan's clothes and thought about washing them for her. Unexpectedly, there were her underwear among them. He instantly felt that all his previous efforts had been in vain.
Startled, he quickly soaped it, rubbed it a few times, and then hurriedly washed and hung it to dry, not daring to look at it for long.
Meanwhile, Wen Ruan, having nothing else to do, was teaching Song Ling high school material. Song Ling still had her high school textbooks, but she had long forgotten the contents, and even her junior high school knowledge was almost gone.
Before they knew it, it was almost dark. Song Ling prepared to make lunch, with Wen Ruan helping her. The two decided to take a stroll at the foot of the back mountain in the afternoon and gather some pig feed.
The scenery on the back mountain was very pleasant. Because Wen Ruan had injured her foot, Song Ling refused to let her do anything and just let her sit aside and wait.
Wen Ruan leaned quietly against the big tree, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the rare tranquility.
But whenever you feel comfortable, fate always seems to have its way of spoiling the mood, and here comes something to ruin it...
"Xiaoling, what did you mean yesterday? Why did you ignore me?" Jin Hua asked, walking up to Song Ling. Wen Ruan, perhaps because she was leaning against a large tree, didn't see her.
"It doesn't mean anything, it just means don't come looking for me anymore, and we shouldn't meet alone anymore." Song Ling said coldly.
"Why? Did someone tell you something nonsense?"
"No."
"Impossible! You were perfectly fine just a few days ago! Okay! I know, it must be your cousin-in-law! Ever since she came, you've been acting strangely. You must have listened to her talking nonsense. You two have only known each other for a short time. You don't believe me, you actually believe her." Jin Hua questioned Song Ling loudly, his face full of excitement.
Wen Ruan was getting restless and wanted to stand up and confront her, but she still had to see what Song Ling thought, so she restrained herself and waited patiently.
“I have nothing to do with you. My cousin’s wife is my family. Isn’t it right for me to trust my family? Besides, she didn’t say anything. I only believe what I see with my own eyes!”
"What did you see? This must be a misunderstanding. I genuinely like you, if you ask me..."
Before Jin Hua could finish speaking, Wen Ruan, who was behind the tree, could no longer bear it and stood up to retort: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Misunderstanding that you're not two-timing? Misunderstanding that you're not flirting with other female educated youth? Misunderstanding that you only make empty promises and don't do anything practical? Misunderstanding that you're not trying to take advantage of our Xiao Ling?"
"I really don't know where this big shot comes from, constantly saying he likes our Xiaoling, and even getting involved with other women! If you're not happy about it, let's go to the educated youth settlement and confront those female educated youths!" After Wen Ruan finished speaking, she stepped forward and tried to pull Jin Hua towards the educated youth settlement.
He was so frightened that he kept backing away, not daring to follow Wen Ruan.
"If you don't dare, then don't come looking for Xiaoling again. Just shut up. We, the Song family, are not to be trifled with! We're not fools! If you really push us too far, you can forget about going back to the city!" Wen Ruan said harshly, then pulled Xiaoling and headed home.
"Look at you, of all people, you have to like this one who's so cunning! You're so honest, you'll get fooled to death! From now on, open your eyes wider, don't pick men out of the trash!" Wen Ruan said with a look of exasperation.
Song Ling also felt a little embarrassed and said that if she were to find a partner in the future, she would have to ask Wen Ruan to vet her.
Wen Ruan spent the afternoon tutoring Song Ling in her room. Hearing the front door open, they assumed Miao Cuihua and her husband were returning from work and went to greet them. They then planned to cook dinner, but…
"Brother, why are you here again today? I've never seen you come this often before," Song Ling exclaimed as she stepped out first.
Wen Ruan recalled Song Yan's reason for coming yesterday, and a blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks again.
