Fortunate Wife

Chapter 149 Surprised (please subscribe, ask for a monthly pass)

"My sister seems to be calling Mama Wu." At this time, Xiao Wu came over and said.

"Uma? Who is it?" Li Mo was puzzled, looking at Xiao Wu, who usually stayed with Man'er for a long time.

Xiao Wu shook his head, "I don't know."

At this time, Li Man's small head was already tilted in Li Mo's arms, and she was nestling in his arms, like a kitten snoozing, perhaps because her sleeping position was uncomfortable, and her little mouth was still spitting out from time to time. He snorted a few times like a cat.

Li Mo stopped asking, and hurriedly hugged her to go back to the room.

Li Shu hurried over, grabbed Li Mo's arm, and said with a smile, "My wife must have called me just now. Listen, Li Shu... Uma, isn't it very similar? She is calling me."

Can't hit eight poles, okay? Everyone cast contemptuous looks at him.

Li Yan opened the door of the West Room, Li Hua held the oil lamp, Li Mo carried Li Man in his arms, and when they arrived in the West Room, they gently put her on the kang.

As soon as she lay down on the kang, Li Man rolled over and wrapped the quilt directly into her bed.

Everyone's heads were full of black lines, but except for Xiao Wu, the four couldn't help but secretly laugh there, so that's how the daughter-in-law grabs the quilt? No wonder they often wake up in the middle of the night and find that they have nothing on them.

"Cough..." Seeing the three younger brothers standing on the kang and staring straight at Li Man, Li Mo felt that something was wrong, "I've been tired all day, you should wash up and sleep too."

"Where's Big Brother?" Li Shu asked nervously, could it be Big Brother's again tonight? God, it's been two months and six days, is it still possible to let people live?

Li Yan and Li Hua also stared at Li Mo closely, the meaning in their eyes was obvious, they can't stare here, can the elder brother do it? The eldest brother has been occupying this room by himself for more than a month. Before, they didn't say anything because he was injured, but today, he walked back and forth twice like them, and they found that he really recovered completely. up.

Now that the injury is healed, shouldn't it be time for the younger brothers to let him go? I haven't been close to my wife for so many days, and I'm almost bewildered now.

Seeing the obviously dissatisfied eyes of his younger brothers, Li Mo felt a little guilty, but Man'er was so drunk that he didn't feel at ease handing her over to anyone, even his own younger brother.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Li Yan said, "I have to stay one night to take care of him, right? Who do you think is the most suitable person in the family for taking care of others?" It's him, Li Yan, everyone agrees.

"Then let me do it." Li Hua smiled slightly, and brought it up without hesitation.

Li Yan frowned, but Li Shu denied it with a smile, "Fourth brother, you are good at sewing and mending, but the job of taking care of others is of course your third brother and me. I wake up in the middle of the night and serve tea to my daughter-in-law." Help her cover the quilt, fan her, and drive away mosquitoes..."

"I'm doing these things every day." Li Mo couldn't take it anymore, and said something that both humans and gods were angry with.

What they think about doing every day, he actually does it every day, isn't it enough to do it every day? What's wrong with giving them a day or two?

The intention is that I am familiar with these tasks, and it will be more convenient to take care of my daughter-in-law, but I have committed public anger and attracted three vicious eyes of envy and hatred, Li Momo...

"Forget it, let's..."

Li Yan hadn't finished speaking when they heard rustling voices. When they looked at the kang, they saw Li Man kicking out of the bed, rubbing her messy hair, groping with her eyes closed, and slipping. After getting off the kang, I didn't even wear shoes, and walked towards the corner of the wall with bare feet that were as smooth as white jade.

The few people were stunned for a while, and saw the girl lying on the wall, digging and digging on the mud wall with one hand, and the dust fell on her feet.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" Li Shu asked cautiously and tentatively.

Li Man's eyelids lifted a slit, and she only saw a figure shaking in front of her, so she hummed sadly, "Why can't the door be opened?"

"Gate?" Li Shu was stunned for a moment, looking at the brothers beside him, the wife is really drunk and confused, right?

Li Mo hurried forward and grabbed her hand, fearing that if she scratched again, her nails would be broken, "The door is over here, what are you going to do with it?"

The little brow frowned, showing an uncomfortable expression, "I want to shush."

"..." Everyone petrified.

But Li Man broke away from Li Mo again, leaned against the corner of the wall, bent over, scratching the wall curiously and resentfully, "Why can't I find the doorknob, the door..."

"This is the wall." Li Yan strode over and hugged her directly by the waist. Although it was hot summer, it was not good for a little girl to step on the cool ground with bare feet.

Li Hua quickly brought shoes for her to wear.

"She can walk by herself like this?" Don't fall into the latrine? They still have to fish back.

Li Hua was stunned, and seeing Li Yan carrying Li Man towards the door, she quickly chased after her.

Li Mo and Li Shu looked at each other, seeing the same message from each other's eyes, the two handsome faces blushed at the same time, and hurriedly chased after them.

Xiao Wu was in the room, staring blankly at his brothers running out together, rolled his eyes in doubt, and suddenly the eyeballs of surprise were about to fall off, the elder sister wanted to shush, the second brother carried her out, the other brothers followed Go, don't tell me... Brothers want to help sister pee?

The little face flushed immediately, and in the spirit of being unsuitable for children, Xiao Wu returned to the east room obediently and sensiblely, leaving this place for the brothers.

There was a commotion outside, and after a while, several people came back like the wind.

Li Yan put Li Man on the kang, seeing her sleeping like a piglet, he couldn't help thinking about the scene just now, making him whistle for booing, it's really harder to serve than Xiao Wu back then...

However, if this girl finds out about this tomorrow, what will happen?

"What should I do?" Li Yan settled Li Man, straightened up and asked the others.

"If any of you are tired, go to sleep." Li Shudao, he didn't want to leave anyway.

Li Mo sat down, "Man'er is very drunk, she still feels uncomfortable for a while, I will sit down for a while."

Li Yan frowned, didn't even want to leave?

Li Hua looked at the four big men looking at his wife, and felt that she didn't like it, so he suggested, "How about this, the four of us take turns to be on duty, each for an hour and a half."

"Okay." Looking at the current situation, everyone had to agree.

"Then, elder brother will accompany you first, let's go out first, after an hour and a half, second elder brother will come to replace you." Li Hua said.

Li Mo nodded, Li Yan and Li Shu also had no objection.

After Li Hua went out, he first went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water. Besides the brothers needing to take a bath, he also specially brought a pot to the Westinghouse.

Li Mo just sat on the top of the kang, quietly staring at the little thing sleeping on the kang quietly through the curtain.

"Brother," Li Hua put the basin on a small stool beside her, and said to Li Mo, "I brought some hot water, you can help her wipe her face, so she can sleep more comfortably that way."

"Yeah." Li Mo glanced at him gratefully. He was still considerate of the fourth brother. He hurriedly got up, rubbed a few times with a hot towel, brought some water, lifted the curtain, and gently wiped Li Man's face and hands .

Seeing his movements so gentle and meticulous, as if he was caring for a fragile treasure, Li Hua smiled knowingly, turned around, and left the room silently.

In the kitchen, Li Yan was taking a bath, and Li Hua was waiting at the door, looking at the boundless night, his heart seemed to be on fire, feeling uncomfortable but full of expectation.

After a while, Li Shu walked over with a towel on his shoulder, patted Li Hua's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "What are you doing? Are you afraid that mosquitoes will eat you?"

"It's hot in the room, I'm here to blow some air." Li Hua turned her head and smiled at him.

Li Shu winked at him, "Isn't it because you are thinking about your wife? Let me tell you, if you want to do that, you will have to stand until dawn."

Li Hua was a little embarrassed, "I'll just stand for a while, and I have to take a shower later."

"Okay, then you can continue to blow the air, I'm going to take a shower." Li Shu said and walked into the yard.

"Third brother." Li Hua hurriedly called him, "Man'er doesn't allow you to take a cold shower."

Li Shu turned around and whispered, "It's okay, she's asleep now."

On a hot day, a cold shower is the only way to feel comfortable. What's more, there is fire on his body, and if he doesn't pour cold water on him, he will really burn to death.

Li Hua smiled and didn't stop him. Before Man'er came to this house, all the brothers in the family had the habit of taking cold showers, and he did too, but he didn't have the nerve to be like the second and third brothers, who often took a shirtless bath in the shower. That's all for washing.

Not long after, Li Yan came out, brushing his hair and laughing, "Fourth brother, the water is used up, if you boil it again, I won't move, I just washed it, I'm afraid I'll sweat again."

"En." Li Hua knew that there was steam in the kitchen, and after a while, he went in again to boil water for a bath.

Li Shu took a shower with cold water, changed into clean clothes after washing, and then returned to the east room. There were still about three hours, so he had better sleep first, otherwise, how could he have the energy to serve his wife in a while?

Li Hua came out after washing, saw Li Yan standing under the eaves like him just now, couldn't help laughing, "Second brother, are you feeding mosquitoes here?"

Li Yan wiped his hair with a towel, and said with a smile, "I washed my hair, it's not dry yet, you go back to the room first, I'll be fine in a while."

"Oh." Li Hua knew it well. Even though the time slots were divided, the brothers obviously didn't want to sleep this night. Even if they wanted to sleep, they couldn't sleep.

Li Hua poured the bath water and went back to the house.

Li Shu tossed and turned on the kang, his mind was full of the drunken daughter-in-law, the sweetness when singing, the coquettishness when dancing, the confusion when digging the wall, and the...

Thinking of this, he felt hot and hot all over his body. After turning over a few times, he saw Li Hua coming in, and sat up in a whiz, "Fourth brother, what time is it?"

"It's still early." Li Hua replied lightly, climbed straight onto the kang, and opened the small window completely. Seeing that Xiao Wu's head was covered with sweat, she sat beside him thoughtfully, holding a cattail fan, and fanning him gently.

Li Shu wailed, and lay down straight again. After a while, sweating all over again, he had to beg Li Hua, "Fourth brother, fan me too."

Sure enough, Li Hua also fanned him, but Li Shu was annoyed and irritable, and felt that the wind was useless at all, "Fourth brother, use some strength, it's too hot."

"Third brother, lie down well, don't think about it, the eldest brother is as good as that, and there is the second brother." Li Hua kindly reminded.

Li Shu sighed for a long time, and said quietly, "Suddenly, I feel that having an older brother is quite annoying."

"..." Li Hua was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed. Only the third brother would express his thoughts so bluntly. After thinking about it, the third brother has never been close to Man'er since he married Man'er. After all, it should be more than two months, right? Li Hua was really taken aback, seeing how anxious the third brother was, it was really frustrating.

However, "Third brother, Man'er is very drunk, and she is really tired during the day, don't..."

"Don't what?" Li Shu was full of Li Man, and was too lazy to guess what his brother said for a while, and asked instinctively after hearing half of what he said.

Li Hua blushed, "You...well, don't touch her at night."

"How can you take care of me if you don't touch me?" Li Shu asked instinctively. As soon as the words fell, he turned over, looked sideways at Li Hua, and frowned, "Who is your third brother? My daughter-in-law is like that, I Will you do what Qin Shou did?" At most, he just hugged her to satisfy his greed.

That's good. Although the third brother has a carefree temper, he loves others the most. With his words, Li Hua was relieved, but he immediately thought of another, and the heart that had just dropped was suspended again.

The eldest brother is calm and will never do anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, seeing how he wiped Man'er's face just now, he cares and cherishes Man'er like that, and he will definitely not take advantage of others' danger.

But second brother...

Suddenly, Li Hua threw the cattail fan to Li Shu, slipped off the kang, and ran outside the door, seeing that Li Yan was still standing there, under the night, he was like a dormant beast, quietly waiting to belong to him. prey.

Li Hua suddenly felt that his guess was right, and the second brother definitely had no good intentions for Man'er tonight.

"Second brother." Li Hua came over and said casually, "It's so hot in the room, but it's still cool."

"Isn't there a cattail fan?" Li Yan asked.

Li Hua pulled his lips and chuckled, "It's windy and cool here."

"Yeah." Li Yan nodded, "Yes." Standing here, quietly waiting for the time to flow, thinking of the little woman in the room, who will be his own in a while, he was indescribably excited.

"Second brother." After being silent for a while, Li Hua looked at the rippling hair between his brows and became more uneasy, and hurriedly said, "Man'er is really amazing." She worked hard to earn money during the day, so she should have a good night's sleep at night.

"Well, it's amazing." What aspect does it refer to? For some reason, Li Yan immediately thought of the way that girl cried and begged for mercy under him, biting and scratching him like a little lion when she couldn't beg, um, it was quite powerful .

"However, it's really hard work." Li Hua stared closely at Li Yan's expression, hoping that he could understand what he said.

"It's hard work." Therefore, he has to take good care of her at night.

"I didn't hear the sound anymore, it seems that I slept soundly." So, second brother, don't torment her at night.

"Fourth brother, don't worry about big brother?" Li Yan seemed to hear Li Hua's subtext at this time.

Li Hua was taken aback, what worries me is you, okay? "Brother has always been calm in his work, why can't I worry about it?"

Li Yan pursed his lips into a smile, an unknown light flashed across his eyes, he patted Li Hua's shoulder, and said, "Okay, fourth brother, you can go back to sleep at ease, with big brother here, what else do you have to worry about? Besides, there will be me in a while."

"Second brother..."

"Go back to the house."

"Second brother, don't..."

"I'm going back to the house."

Li Yan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and went straight to the east room.

Li Shu was sitting on the kang, fanning them constantly. Seeing the two of them coming in, he only glanced at them lightly, and didn't even bother to say anything.

Waiting is really exhausting.

"I'll sleep first." Li Yan put Li Hua aside and lay down on the top of the kang.

Li Hua was helpless, it was not good to say something too bluntly, the second brother was different from the third brother, but he loved his wife dearly.

Thinking about what to say again, seeing that Li Yan has closed his eyes, and thinking about how he hurts his wife, wouldn't the second brother not hurt? Li Hua had no choice but to climb onto the kang and lie down next to Xiaowu.

The night gradually deepened, and the heat dissipated little by little. An hour and a half was too fast in Li Mo's place. He only felt that he had wiped Man'er's face and hands, and then fanned her, and then hurried past.

But for Li Yan, the time was so slow that he felt uncomfortable all over. Fortunately, when he couldn't wait to get up and run two laps, when the time came, he hurriedly got up and knocked on the door.

Li Mo came out and Li Yan went in.

Inside the house, the light of the small oil lamp was much darker than before. Li Yan took a big needle and picked the wick, and the light instantly brightened a lot. The warm yellow light gently filled the whole room.

Li Man slept soundly, even Li Yan lifted the curtain, lay down next to her, and hugged her into his arms, without feeling anything at all.

"Is that how sleepy you are?" Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Li Yan kissed her cheek subconsciously.

——

The time was short, but the night was long. Like a monk, Li Shu sat cross-legged for nearly three hours, and finally got the chance to serve his wife.

The oil lamp in the house had already been extinguished, so he had to add some more oil and light it up. He liked to see the warm light hitting his wife's face softly, it was so peaceful, so soft and so heart-warming.

"Daughter-in-law." Lifting the curtain, he called softly, seeing her frowning slightly, pursing her small red mouth in dissatisfaction, and smiling happily.

He took off his shoes, got on the kang swiftly, and habitually domineeringly embraced her in his arms, but he was afraid that the force would wake her up, so he relaxed a little.

He found that her forehead was covered with sweat, and the sweat had wet her hair at some point, and a few strands were sticking to her cheeks, reflecting the delicate skin, which was indescribably seductive.

His throat tightened, and he also felt hot, so he hurriedly picked up the fan beside him, and fanned it heavily.

"Hmm." Probably because of the cool wind, Li Man felt a little more comfortable, her brows gradually relaxed, and she rolled towards the cool place.

Looking at the little person in his arms, the soft fragrance made people dizzy for a while, and in a daze, Li Shu threw away the fan...

——

At what time, Li Shu was already confused, but with Li Hua's knock on the door, it ended the beauty that made people addicted and unable to extricate themselves.

Before dawn, the sky was getting darker and darker, but maybe it was fueled, the light in the house was always very bright.

Li Hua closed the door, lifted the curtain gently, and got on the kang, so as not to wake her up, his movements were very gentle.

But no matter how lightly she was, Li Man was still disturbed, her little brow furrowed uncomfortably, and she mumbled, "No more..."

"What?" Li Hua didn't hear clearly, so he pressed her lips and asked again.

Li Man didn't answer, but her long eyelashes trembled uncomfortably, her moist lips were slightly pursed, and they were unusually red, like a plump and moist cherry, alluring...

——

In an hour and a half, you can memorize a book, write twenty words, and do many things well.

But for Li Hua, it was really too short.

Before dawn, looking at the beautiful little woman in his arms, Li Hua's eyes were full of tenderness. When he met her soft lips, he couldn't help but kissed her softly again, but he didn't dare to go deeper, afraid of repeating the mistakes of last night. .

Thinking of the hour and a half last night, Li Hua's eyes filled with self-blame and shame.

When did he become so incapable of self-control? Fortunately, he persuaded the third brother and blamed the second brother before.

——

There were already noises outside the house. Li Hua knew that his brothers had woken up, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly put down Li Man, took a thin quilt, and put it lightly on her stomach, then put on his clothes, and laid down lightly. Kang.

As soon as the door was opened, Li Mo was chopping firewood in the yard, Li Shu was sweeping the yard with a big broom, and there were noises in the kitchen. Needless to say, it must be the second brother preparing breakfast.

Feeling guilty and ashamed for no reason, Li Hua hurried to the kitchen, seeing her second brother cutting pickles, with steam still rising from the cauldron, and hurriedly said, "Second brother, let me do it."

"You're in a hurry to work right after you wake up?" Li Yan smiled, but didn't stop chopping vegetables.

Li Hua bowed his head, blushing.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Yan asked again, "Where's she? Is she awake?" Thinking of last night, Li Yan's eyes darkened a little, filled with pity.

Li Hua also annoyed herself, shaking her head, "Still asleep."

"Then let her sleep more." Li Yan continued to chop vegetables.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Li Hua scooped up some water and went outside to wash himself.

——

The sun was high, and Li Man finally woke up, but her head ached and her body ached too, making her want to die because of the discomfort all over her body.

"Man'er." Li Mo and the others were at the door, and when they heard Li Man's distressed voice coming from inside, they all rushed in.

Li Man was lying on the edge of the kang, when she saw the four brothers unexpectedly, she was stunned for a moment.

"Girl, what's the matter? Still feeling uncomfortable?" Li Yan came over and helped her sit up.

Li Man froze, looking into Li Yan's worried eyes, suddenly thought of last night.

Is that a dream?

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu also hurried over, looking at her uneasily.

So is Li Hua.

Li Mo also gathered around, "If you want to feel uncomfortable, lie down again? I'll bring the porridge."

"No, no need." Li Man hurriedly stopped her, and pushed Li Yan away uncomfortably, "Go out for a while, I'll change clothes."

The clothes on his body were wrinkled, and it seemed that he hadn't put them on properly, and the belts were all tied wrong.

"daughter in law......"

"You go out first." Li Man suddenly felt a little afraid to face Li Shu, and even Li Hua.

What's going on here?

She actually had such a shameful dream last night, could it be because she hasn't had it for more than a month, think about it? But in the dream, Li Yan, Li Shu, Li Hua...

Once she had such an idea, Li Man was terrified.

Was she so abused and stupid? To think of that, and to be so presumptuous and evil...

Oh, I don't want to think about it, I must have been in Nuanxiang Building yesterday, probably because of the atmosphere there, so it's normal to think about it every day and dream about it at night.

Moreover, she was drunk last night. When someone drinks, it's easy to...

It's just that this body is really sore.

It turns out that drunken people are such a torturer? After beating her to death, she won't drink anymore.

After they left, Li Man sat on the kang for a while, enduring the discomfort, and moved her lower back, but she felt something was wrong, but she seemed embarrassed to think about what was wrong.

After finally getting off the kang, I found that the clothes on my body were wrinkled, and they were from yesterday. Thinking about it, I was drunk last night, so I went to sleep directly on the kang.

On such a hot day, it would be hard for her not to take a bath and change clothes. Therefore, even if she was anxious to go to Nuanxiang Building today, Li Man still felt that she should tidy herself up first.

Opening the door, Li Man was stunned for a moment, seeing four men standing at the door like four door gods, "What are you doing?"

"daughter in law."

"Man'er."

"Girl."

The four men called her in unison, with different expressions in their eyes, but she could see a little weirdness in them all.

"What happen to you guys?"

"Daughter-in-law, are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Li Shu asked uneasily.

Li Man thought he was asking about his drunkenness, and Mo and the others also thought he was asking about it.

"It's much better, but my head is a little dizzy and my body is sore. It should be better to move around."

Li Hua turned her eyes away guiltily, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her carefully, this little girl is really in poor health, Xu Bo's medicine has been secretly given to her for more than a month.

"Hungry, the porridge is still hot in the pot, I'll serve it for you." Li Mo said.

Li Man pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "I'm not very hungry, I want to take a bath first." Her body was sticky and it was really uncomfortable.

"Cough—" Everyone blushed again.

Li Hua hurriedly said, "Why don't you eat first, and I'll boil some hot water for you."

Li Man thought for a while, "That's good."

——

Li Man was not very hungry, she would be fine after eating a bowl of porridge. After Li Hua finished boiling the water, she closed the door and took a bath in the room.

However, the moment she took off her coat, she was stunned again.

Did mosquitos enter the tent again last night? Why are there so many strawberries bitten on my body?

Damn mosquitoes, fortunately, this time they are not swollen or itchy, they just look ugly.

After taking a good shower and even washing her hair twice, Li Man came out and changed into clean clothes.

"Where are your clothes?" When she came out with the dirty clothes in her arms, Li Man wanted to wash them off with her hands, otherwise she would have nothing to change when she came back at night.

"Second brother washed it early in the morning." Li Shudao, unexpectedly, the second brother was so diligent today that he rushed to wash their clothes.

Li Man smiled, took some of her clothes, went to the side of the well, fetched some water, and rubbed them carefully.

Li Hua and the others wanted to help, but they knew that this girl was shy and would not let them touch her underwear easily, so they had to give up.

"Daughter-in-law, do you want to go to town later?" Li Shu asked.

"Yeah." Li Man nodded, turned around and saw Xiao Wu sitting on the threshold of the East Room, looking like a melancholy little adult, and said with a smile, "Xiao Wu, you are with us today."

"I'm looking after the house." Xiao Wu said.

"Huh?" Li Man was stunned for a moment, this kid doesn't want to go to town today?

"If he wants to be at home, he should be at home." Li Mo said.

"Oh." Li Man didn't say anything more, and took the clothes she rubbed up to dry on the bamboo poles. When it's over, come here, and said to Xiao Wu, "The snacks I brought back yesterday are all in the cupboard. You Eat when you're hungry."

Xiao Wu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Man, blushed suddenly, wanted to say something, pursed his lips but didn't say anything, got up quickly, and ran into the house.

"What's wrong?" Li Man was stunned for a moment, Xiao Wu's attitude towards her?

"Daughter-in-law, let's go after washing, the sun will shine more in a while." Li Shu had already pushed the cart and waited at the gate of the courtyard.

Li Hua took the kettle and followed.

Li Mo and Li Yan stood beside her.

Li Man looked at them suspiciously, "Are you still going?"

"Otherwise?" Li Yan looked at her with a smile. He was already worried, but after going to Nuanxianglou, they became more worried.

"It's a hot day." Li Man really felt sorry for them, so she suggested, "Why don't you take turns to accompany me, okay?"

"...."

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Thinking of last night, except for Li Mo, all the other faces showed unnatural expressions.

"What's wrong? Is this not good? Why don't you go with me today, you rest at home, do something you want to do, Li Yan tomorrow, Li Shu the day after tomorrow, and Li Hua the day after tomorrow." Li Man thinks this schedule is the best It's reasonable, and it's not hard to spare more time for them.

After last night, Li Mo already knew what his younger brothers were thinking, and no one wanted to lose the opportunity to get along with Man'er. No matter how hot the weather was, it would melt people, but they would feel sweet in their hearts if they could stay by her side sizzling.

"Let's go together, in case something happens, we are all here, and we can help." Li Mo said.

"..." Li Man instinctively thought of the rape in the vegetable market, thinking, if they were all there, she and Li Shu would not suffer.

But, look at him, "Aren't you tired?" Will he be able to accompany her like this every day in the future?

"You are not tired, why are we tired?" Li Yan suddenly put his arms around her shoulders and looked at her meaningfully.

Being stared at by him made Li Man feel uneasy, and lazy to delve into the meaning of his words, she broke away from him and ran towards Li Shu.

"Let's go." Li Mo glanced at Li Yan, and then strode out.

Li Yan turned his head and told Xiao Wu, who was lying on his stomach at the door of the east room, "Be good at home, we'll be back at night."

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked aggrieved. In fact, he also wanted to follow, but...

Thinking of last night, he suddenly didn't know how to face his sister.

——

Li Man wanted to walk by herself, but her legs were trembling just after she left the village entrance and before she walked up the mountain road.

It's really disappointing, isn't it just drinking an extra bowl of wine, and it's like this? She also slept very deeply last night, it's just that she had too many dreams and messed up.

She endured it, not wanting to be looked down upon by a few men, but the strength of her legs was getting weaker and weaker, and her steps became more and more uncomfortable.

"What's wrong?" Li Yan glanced sideways at her.

Li Man bit her lip and tried to keep up, "It's okay, it's just that the sun is shining brightly and my eyes are dazzled."

"Really? Can you still walk?" Li Yan saw that she was walking hard, so he couldn't help but go to her side.

"Daughter-in-law, let's take the car." Li Shu also felt distressed, his daughter-in-law was weak, and he knew it very well, so last night he was already very gentle, and he didn't even wake her up.

Li Man shook her head, she had only walked a mile, she was like this, shameless, she didn't want to be too delicate.

Can......

Unexpectedly, a small stone tripped under her feet, and Li Man staggered and almost fell.

Li Yan supported her with his hands, and before she could stabilize her body, he directly picked her up and put her on the small car.

"Sit down obediently, it's getting late."

She got up late in the morning, and with the time she had to eat, bathe and wash clothes, half a morning had already passed. It might be noon when she arrived in town. It's black, and I can't even climb it.

So, taking advantage of Li Yan's step, Li Man became honest.

Today, Li Man was more thoughtful and put on a clean gown, which was spread open over her head, like a hat to cover the sun.

Sure enough, Li Man couldn't help admiring the vigor and spirit of these men. She spent the whole day with her yesterday and drank alcohol last night. In the end, she was the only one who was tired and limp, but they were still full of energy.

Moreover, Li Shu's pushcart was stronger than usual, everyone's feet felt windy, and they arrived half an hour earlier than she expected.

Entering through the back door of the Nuanxiang Building, I happened to see Lu'er fetching water from the well in the backyard. As soon as I saw them, I immediately dropped the bucket and ran towards the front yard, shouting all the way, "Mother Rong, the girl is here."

"What girl is here?" Rong's mother was outside greeting the guests, when she heard Lu'er yelling without thinking, she didn't react for a while.

Lu'er stomped her feet, "Which girl is there? The girl you've been nagging about since midnight last night."

"Oh, my little ancestor is here." Mama Rong slapped her head, her brows were beaming with joy, she left the guests and ran towards the backyard, "Lu'er, ask someone to deliver tea to the backyard.|"

"Yes." Lu'er replied, but glanced at the guests who were stunned in the hall.

This guest came here in the morning, and Mama Rong was introducing the girl from her place to him, and he listened eagerly, but he was suddenly left behind, and was momentarily stupefied.

But Lu'er would come, so she bumped into the guest lightly, and said with a coquettish smile, "Guest officer, do you want to sit down first and drink some wine? We have a good Nurhong here?"

——

When Mother Rong went to the backyard, she saw Li Man and others sitting in the pavilion from afar.

"Hey, my little ancestors, why did you arrive at this time? It made me anxious."

Seeing Rong's mother rushing over, Li Man got up and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will steal the money and run away?"

"How could it be?" Rong's mother took her hand, her eyes were almost laughing, and she said excitedly, "My little ancestor, you are really my lucky star, you know, how many people came to my house last night Nuanxiang Building?"

"How much?" Li Man asked curiously.

Mother Rong stretched out her hands, spread her ten fingers, and doubled back and forth.

"Twenty. Mom, I counted them. Twenty. No, there are still some who stayed overnight. Those girls from Cuixiang are still with them."

"..." Li Man understood what this meant, and blushed all of a sudden, but luckily she was covered by a veil, so she couldn't see it.

Mother Rong was happy, so she forgot the taboo, and said excitedly, "Yesterday, according to your arrangement, I removed the curtains in the hall, and removed most of the flowers and plants, leaving only a few pots of the pots you mentioned. The more elegant flowers, as well as the incense in the girls' rooms, have all been pinched."

Of course, when there are guests, you still get some points. This is the secret of Hualou's survival. Naturally, Rong's mother would not say it in front of Li Man.

Li Man nodded while listening, yes.

Mother Rong continued, "Also, when night fell, the lights here were changed according to what you said, and Cuixiang and Fendie were specially arranged to talk piano and sing by the window on the second floor, do you know? A guest came in, and he came from the Chunxiang Building, and I saw it at the door. He even stepped over the threshold there, and he turned to our side, haha, let me just say, How can our girls in Nuanxianglou be so bad?"

Li Man listened to what she said, she said business was good, Li Man was also happy, but on the other hand, she was also a little worried, "Then Cuixiang and the others can't come now? If I train... ..”

"This——" Mother Rong thought for a while, and immediately said, "They have to wait for half a day to get up, why don't you teach Lu'er and them first, by the way, Mom, I entrusted someone this morning, and I plan to buy 20 more Clean and beautiful little girl, when the time comes, help me retrain."

"What?" Li Man was shocked, "Still buying it?"

Mother Rong curled her lips and said, "Yeah, Cuixiang and the others still look a little bit better with makeup on, but after all they are getting older, I know in my heart that those men are all just for a while. It's fresh, who knows when I'll get tired of it, besides, it's time for a change in my Nuanxianglou."

This is the case in places like Hualou, just let the newcomers laugh and let the old ones cry, as long as there is money to make.

But Li Man doesn't think so, buy another twenty little girls? Why did she suddenly feel like helping the evildoer? If she hadn't helped the business of Nuanxiang Building, Mother Rong wouldn't have bought someone, and if she didn't buy someone, twenty little girls wouldn't have fallen into this pit of fire.

"Mother Rong, can you stop buying it?" Li Man begged.

Mother Rong was puzzled, "What's the matter? Mom, I happen to have some money on hand now, and I want to take advantage of the slow recovery of the business, quickly find some new people, take care of them, and directly wipe out those little hoofs in Chunxianglou. "

"But, they are all daughters of a good family. Once they enter this kind of place, what will they do in the future?" I'm afraid there will be no future at all.

Coincidentally, Hong Xing and Qiu Ling came to deliver tea, and when they heard this, they burst out laughing.

"Girl, you are really a bodhisattva." Hong Xing said, and put the tea tray on the stone table.

Qiu Ling poured tea and said with a smile, "Yes, in this world, if there is a sale, there will be a buy, and if there is a buy, there will be a sale. Maybe, people are eager to be bought, and those who want to sell and no one will buy it are the best." Pitiful."

"..." Li Man couldn't understand her logic, but felt that a good daughter's house, being sold to this kind of place, she had no choice but to do so. She was already extremely pitiful, but she accidentally became an accomplice... ....

Seeing that Li Man was silent, Rong's mother comforted her quickly, "Little ancestor, I know what you're thinking, mother, why don't I want to be a good person? But you don't know, in this world, many things are beyond your control, you can eat and wear Don't worry, who wants to come to this kind of place? Who wants to do this kind of thing that is ruined by others?"

After the veil, Li Man's dark eyes looked at Mama Rong full of pity and pleading. After the thick makeup, Mama Rong was also helpless, right? "Then don't buy it, okay?"

"Hey, listen to me." After all, Mother Rong is a woman with a lot of experience. She can understand Li Man's careful thinking at a glance, and she knows how to comfort her. She slowly held her hand and took her to sit. Going to the stone bench beside him, he let out a long sigh and said slowly.

"What girl Qiu Ling said just now is good. If there is something to sell in this world, you can buy it. If someone wants to sell it deliberately, even if I don't buy it, someone will still buy it."

"As long as you don't do this kind of thing, there will always be a chance to turn around in the future." Li Man couldn't think of so much, but thought that if this matter could not be separated from her, I would not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Even if you want to sell, you can go to work, or be a maid for others, but once you fall into this kind of place, you will never be able to turn over for the rest of your life. This is an unchangeable truth from ancient times to the present.

"Turn over?" Rong's mother smiled wryly, "Well, even if it's a little better, it can be sold to a rich family, and can be a rough servant girl or something. If you're smart, you might be able to fall in love with your master and be married to a servant in the future." , or, to take it one step further, to be a roommate for the master, a concubine or something. When viewed as a human being, a dead person is worse than a dead dog..."

Li Man was terrified when she heard that, but she saw some tears rolled from the corners of her mother's swollen eyes, and her voice was even more desolate, "I'll tell you the truth, do you think it's easy for me to get to where I am today, Mom? How many, when I was seven years old, I was sold by my parents to a rich family as a girl. Later, when Madam found out about the crime of shamelessly seducing and seducing the master, she was beaten half to death, and finally sold to such a dark place."

"..." Li Man felt chills all over her body when she heard this. She had only seen this kind of thing on TV or in novels. Although there are many sad things in the world, she had never seen them with her own eyes. It's not that deep. At this moment, mother Rong's blood and tears really shocked her.

But, different from her, Hong Xing and Qiu Ling listened with calm faces. Even Qiu Ling laughed a few times and said softly, "Maybe you are scared? To be honest, you can come here Come to this kind of place, who hasn't experienced any misery, just like you said you have no choice but to. However, the girl should also know that life is life. Now, I am glad that I am in this Nuanxiang Building, and my mother does not want to beat me We also did not withhold my money, and promised us that anyone who has money can redeem his free body, which is something that would never even be considered in other places."

"..." Li Man doesn't know what to say, is it still a blessing to be in Nuanxiang Building?

"That's right." Hong Xing also said, "Not everyone is born a young lady. Some people serve to eat and some serve to wear. Our lives are hard, but rather than being sold to someone who doesn't know what kind of heart, I think it's better to be sold to someone who is a mother. Buying it is still a blessing for that person, at least, we don’t have to worry about food or drink, and save more money when we are young, so we don’t have to worry about being buried in mass graves when we are old.”

"This—" Such a tragedy? Li Man felt sour in his heart.

"Oh." Rong's mother wiped her eyes, finally calmed down, and said in relief, "Also, you don't know the rules of our Nuanxiang Building, Rong's mother and I are not that hard-hearted person, as long as there is a good girl If I want to be good, I always give opportunities. The little girls I bought are not allowed to pick up and serve customers at the beginning. I will train and teach them in all aspects, and wait until a certain time before letting them list.

Of course, there are also those who are unwilling, and those who want to keep their innocence, let them do odd jobs, that is, serve those girls who are listed.

But, not every girl thinks that way? "

"What do you mean?" Li Man didn't understand, if there was a chance to keep the innocent, why not.

"Ha." Rong's mother laughed at Li Man's innocence, "The land of fireworks, the place of wind and flow, here, if you get along well, you can reach the sky in one step. How many men hold you like a princess, girls! Well, who doesn't have a bit of vanity? Even the annual election of the oiran, the girls are still vying for it. Here, it is a world that is completely different from what you think. It doesn't mean that women are here How miserable. Yes, maybe there were many forced reasons for coming in at the beginning, but later on, everyone has their own fate. It’s hard to say.”

Li Man was stunned.

"Okay, okay, we've been here for half a day, drink some tea, by the way, Hong Xing, is lunch ready? Bring it here quickly." Mother Rong ordered.

Li Man sat silently, while Mother Rong smiled apologetically and tried to comfort her a lot. The little ancestor is her God of Wealth, so she must not offend her.

Later, she finally compromised, and her mother said, "Why don't you do this, wait and see when someone buys it, mother, I promise you, if they don't want to list in the future, I promise not to force them, as long as they have enough money to redeem." Silver, I will definitely let them go, and besides, I will not ask for more silver to redeem, if they have no money, they will work with me and deduct it from their wages, what do you think?"

After listening for a long time, Li Man knew that this was Mama Rong's bottom line. Moreover, she felt that it was almost the same. Besides, what they said was not unreasonable. If they really wanted to sell it, they would not buy it. Wouldn't it be even worse if she was sold to someone like Rong's mother when she was a child?

Therefore, Li Man immediately nodded, "Thank you, Mama Rong."

"Okay, little ancestor, the food is here, you guys eat first, I'll go and see Cuixiang and the others are they up?" Mother Rong got up as she spoke, and left with Hongxing and Qiuling.

"Don't stand too far away, come here quickly." Sitting at the stone table, Li Man waved to his brothers.

The four brothers sat down, Li Hua looked around and lifted her veil, "Is it warm? Take it off first, and put it on again when people come."

"Yeah." Li Man picked up the bowls and chopsticks, distributed them to several people, and then ate by herself.

Li Yan brought her some food, "Are you still sad about the incident just now?"

Li Man didn't say a word, but it was hard to digest such sadness for a while. In this era, women can buy and sell casually. Thinking that she was bought back by Li Mo for ten taels of silver, she felt sad for no reason.

"Don't be sad, didn't the fat aunt agree to you? If she doesn't want to, she won't force the listing." Li Shu comforted while eating.

Li Man smiled through tears, and looked at Li Shu, "If Mama Rong hears what you said, she won't prepare a meal for you next time? She's just plump, why is she getting fatter?"

"That's not fat?" Li Shu opened his arms exaggeratedly and gestured, "You are at least two fatter than your wife, oh no, two and a half fatter."

"Am I that thin?" Li Man looked at herself suspiciously, "No, it looks like I have to gain weight."

She likes rounder women.

Li Mo nodded straight after hearing this, and brought some food for her, "Eat more."

Not to be outdone, Li Yan, Li Shu, and Li Hua picked up their chopsticks and added food to her bowl.

Looking at the mountain of vegetables piled up at the head of the bowl, Li Man's head was covered with black lines, "Do you think I eat like a pig?"

"Be fatter." Li Mo coaxed.

"If you have the ability, you can eat it like a piglet and show me?" Li Yan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Eat slowly, we will accompany you." Li Hua said gently.

Li Shu laughed, "My daughter-in-law is a little pig, and she is also the most beautiful and cutest little pig."

Hearing the others, they all laughed sullenly.

Li Man tightened her eyebrows, pouted her small mouth, got up suddenly, put the vegetables in the bowl into other people's bowls, shared a little with each of them, and then said with a smile, "If you want to become a piglet, everyone should change together, why should I be alone?" People change."

Several people were taken aback for a moment, and then all laughed again.

The meal finally ended in a very pleasant atmosphere.

After they finished their meal, Rong's mother came, and Li Man hurriedly put on her veil.

"Have you finished eating?" Mother Rong came over and asked, just now she looked at Li Man from a long distance, she didn't know it very well, but she felt that she was very beautiful.

Li Man raised her lips and smiled at her through the veil, "Eat well, let Mother Rong worry about it, and arrange meals for us every day."

"What's the matter? I don't have anything else in Nuanxiang Building. What's more, I don't have delicious food. Besides, there's also wine, but you have to give them lessons later, so I won't let anyone deliver it." Mother Rong said politely .

"I don't want the wine." Li Man felt a little trembling when she thought of the drunkenness last night and the pain in her body now.

Rong's mother was still polite, "It's okay not to drink at noon, but for dinner, Rong's mother will accompany you to drink."

"Don't." Li Man quickly waved his hand, "I'm not very strong at drinking, and I get drunk when I drink."

"Why are you afraid of being drunk? Don't you have them?" Rong's mother looked at Li Mo and the others, her eyes lit up. Even though her face was covered with something, her figure and demeanor were all upper-class men Woolen cloth.

Li Man also looked at Li Mo and the others, shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, you gave us a jar of wine yesterday, to tell you the truth, we drank it when we got back, I just drank a bowl, and I couldn't sleep well It saves manpower, no, this is why you came so late today."

"..." Li Mo and the others instinctively looked at each other when they heard the words. The daughter-in-law thought she was unconscious last night?

Yes, in a sense, she was indeed unconscious, but apart from this, she didn't remember anything else? For example, knocking bowls with chopsticks to sing, kicking stools to dance around pots, and looking for huts to dig walls? and midnight...

When Mama Rong heard this, she smiled, "Isn't that very drunk? Well, it's fine for a girl not to drink, hehe, Mama Rong will cook for you that night and cook two dishes for you. Let's sit down and have a meal together. "

"No need." Li Man said politely, "I'm worried about my younger brother being the only one at home. By the way, are Cuixiang and the others up? I want to go back early today."

"Oh, wake up, I'm the only one here, she's washing her face, she'll be here in a while." Mother Rong said immediately, and after a while, she said flatteringly, "It was last night, Cuixiang was a little tired , look, can you go to her room first today, and transform her for a while, in the evening, that young master will come over yesterday."

"..." Li Man blinked her eyes, a little confused.

Mother Rong could only make amends and said with a smile, "Yesterday, the son brought ice cubes, and the Cuixiang room is cool. Why don't we take this class today in the Cuixiang room?"

"No, this side is near the water, the wind is strong, and it's not hot." Li Man insisted on her own opinion. Since Nuanxiang Building has business, there will always be guests coming to the lobby in front of it. She doesn't want anyone to see her.

Let mother be embarrassed, "but that girl was really tired last night."

"I can't get through such an idea? Then it doesn't matter if she doesn't come, what about the others?" Li Man asked.

"This--"

"Mother Rong, I told you that I need a separate place for class, not in any of your girls' rooms." Li Man reminded.

Listening to her stubborn tone, Mother Rong hurriedly said, "I know, I'll call them right away, no matter how tired I am, I can't miss class, right?"

After finishing speaking, she comforted Li Man to sit down, and Rong's mother went to call someone in person, what should I do? As long as the girls have a business, they are her ancestors, otherwise, where does her money come from?

Li Man sat quietly, feeling a little disappointed and unhappy in her heart.

Not long after, Mother Rong came with a dozen beautiful girls.

However, as soon as they got here, the girls grabbed the benches and sat there like bones, not wanting to get up.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted, Mr. Hou, don't look like a skinny monkey, your strength is so strong that it still hurts there now."

"Haha, stop talking, how many fucking men have you slept with? You still know it hurts? Even if thousands of troops come, you are not afraid, right?"

"Go, go, you are the one who rests on thousands of people and rides on thousands of people."

"I wish I could, but how can I have your good looks and figure?"

"..."

Li Man blushed in embarrassment when she heard these embarrassing people's words, she was very surprised, why suddenly, those haggard girls from yesterday, said these words in front of her in such a hot manner at this moment? She remembered Rong's mother's words, had she really been in this kind of place for too long, and lost even the most basic dignity and shame?
