Chapter 6 006. Can’t we divorce?
"...Can you please stop talking about having babies all the time?" He is not a stud who specializes in sire and foal.
"Isn't a husband meant to give birth to children?"
Lei Li glanced at him and said, "If you weren't incapable, I might have gotten pregnant last night... Now I don't know if you can do it, you've grown so big for nothing."
“…”
Zhou Yi opened his mouth.
Zhou Yi was silent.
He couldn't say that he actually felt something last night because of Lei Li's torment, but he suppressed it by reciting the Eight Honors and Eight Shames and the Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention.
Doing it with a man I've only known for three days... No, brother, even if I don't give up, I'm dead.
"Speaking of which..."
Lei Li looked at Zhou Yi's skillful movements in washing clothes and said, "You are really good at washing clothes. I thought men couldn't wash clothes..." It seemed that he washed clothes more carefully than him.
"I've always washed my own clothes and socks."
Zhou Yi was not used to using soap beans. He just saw someone washing clothes with wood ash... Was he so poor that he couldn't even afford soap beans?
Thinking about this, Zhou Yi humbly asked Lei Li, "Why do some people use wood ash to wash clothes?"
"There's no soapberry left at home, right? There aren't any soapberry trees in our villages, so they're only sold in town," Lei Li said. "We barely touch meat all year round, so there's no difference between washing with ash and soapberry."
"That's right."
Zhou Yi nodded.
There weren't many clothes at Lei Li's house, and both of them were very skillful, so they finished washing them in no time.
As he was leaving, another man came from the other side of the river.
He was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing old white clothes with several obvious patches, and had his hair combed. When he saw Lei Li, he hesitated for a moment before greeting him.
"Brother Li... Good morning, Mr. Li."
"Good morning, Mr. Miao."
Lei Li nodded and left.
Zhou Yi's gaze fell on the left half of his face, which was so red and swollen that it was hard to ignore.
Zhou Yi's occupational disease has come back. The people's soldiers can't bear to see people get hurt and suffer, especially such obvious injuries, so they should at least help.
"What's wrong with that wound on your face?"
Miao Fulang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lei Li first, and then said, "Nothing... Your husband is waiting for you."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhou Yi nodded, holding the wash basin and followed Lei Li.
Lei Li glanced at him.
Zhou Yi: “?”
This look was a little puzzling, and Zhou Yi asked him, "What's wrong?"
"He is Miao Fulang."
"Yeah, I just heard you call him that."
"He's married."
Although he didn't understand why Lei Li emphasized this point, Zhou Yi nodded and said, "I understand, but what happened to Miao Fulang's face? Did he fight with someone?"
"no."
Lei Li glanced at him again before saying, "He must have been beaten by the man at home. His husband has a stubborn and violent temper and beats him whenever he's not happy."
"Domestic violence?"
Zhou Yi frowned, "Is there no one to help Mr. Miao? We can't divorce... should you call it a peaceful divorce? We can't divorce peacefully?"
Lei Li's look became even stranger.
It was like looking at a fool, or something else, "Where can Miao Fulang go after he divorces her?"
"He's a husband without a husband, without money and without a livelihood. He can't just hang himself after getting a divorce, can he?"
"His parents won't want him. It's embarrassing and would just add another mouth to feed. Besides, he already has a child who's only four years old. How could Mr. Miao bear to let him go?"
“It’s really difficult.”
Zhou Yi nodded to indicate that he understood.
He thought about the several female soldiers he had led when he was a squad leader in modern times. One of them unfortunately encountered a domestic violence man and also had children.
Can't bear to.
Can't leave.
What a big problem.
"But there's always a way."
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Lei Li stared at him for three seconds, then suddenly stopped, pinched his face and kissed him, his face expressionless and ferocious.
"If you marry into my family, you must obey my husband's virtues. If you marry me, you must like me. Remember?"
Zhou Yi didn't quite understand why he emphasized this, but seeing that he looked unhappy, he asked, "I remember, did I do anything to make you unhappy?"
"Your husband is right in front of you, why are you asking about other people's husbands?"
"Because the injuries on his face don't look like he fell, and he doesn't look like someone who would cause trouble. We're all from the same village, so I'll help him if I can."
"that's all?"
"yes."
Zhou Yi took it for granted, "Even if they are not from the same village, I would help a stranger if I could."
Isn't that what he meant? He was brave enough to help others and strive to be a pioneer of the times. He was also a soldier of the people, so he must help the people when they are in trouble.
"you……"
Lei Li was at a loss for words.
But the uncomfortable feeling in my heart disappeared. Thinking about how just a kiss last night had frightened him, I felt that Zhou Yi was quite stupid and easy to deceive.
Everyone wants to help.
Not like him.
If it weren't for Zhou Yi's good looks, the fact that he looked fertile and not married, he wouldn't have saved him.

The clothes are hung on the bamboo poles.
Sanli Village is probably in the subtropics. The sun at the end of March was already a bit scorching. There were still mosquitoes buzzing under the shade of the trees and the eaves. Zhou Yi killed several of them while he was eating.
Lei Li's father Lei Dashan saw this and quietly lit mosquito repellent packs in the corners of the house.
Niang Liuyeer is made of dried mugwort, which is the most common thing in rural villages. You can prepare a lot of it by picking and drying it.
Although the taste is a bit strong.
But isn't fumigating mosquitoes just a matter of who dies first?
Zhou Yi also noticed that there were a lot of wild mint and garlic planted around Lei Li's house. They were not only planted on the ground in front of and behind the house, but also planted inside the house in rotten pots, jars and wooden barrels.
"They're all for keeping away mosquitoes."
Lei Li saw him looking at him several times and said something.
“What should I do if I get bit by a mosquito?”
Zhou Yi asked again, there is no cooling ointment, no wind oil or floral water here, the mosquitoes are poisonous and may carry malaria... I don’t know if the mosquitoes here have malaria.
"I see."
Lei Li pulled him over and made a cross on the mosquito bite with her fingernails. "Here, this will quickly stop itching. My dad taught me that."
“…”
Zhou Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be quite useful." Metaphysics is also a subject to study.
"Okay."
Lei Li put the straw hat on his head and said, "Stop wasting time, let's go."
—
After the Spring Equinox and before Qingming Festival.
A good time to plant rice seedlings.
"My family used to have quite a lot of land, but my father got sick and sold three acres of the best paddy fields. We only have two acres of medium-quality paddy fields and two acres of dry land left."
"The dry land is all planted with sweet potatoes, and the two mu of paddy field is used to grow rice, but we haven't had time to plant the rice yet."
"My paddy field is in a bad location, a separate piece on the edge, but it's not very regular. This paddy field is actually half a centimeter larger than two mu, so Dad chose it."
Lei Li pointed at the irregular triangle in the distance and said.
There is another family's house next door. It looks like a relatively flat area, about five or six acres.
Most of the fields were occupied.
Several farmers, along with their older children and other small children, were playing on the edge of the field or under the trees, and from time to time, they could be heard laughing or scolding.
Lei Li's reputation isn't entirely bad.
When he and Zhou Yi came to the fields, some people greeted them. They were some aunts and uncles who had a good relationship with his parents. They said that they were too busy and they could come over to help.
