chapter 42

As soon as the words came out, the woman held back immediately, knowing that she couldn't be offended, she glared at her, and then turned to talk to other people.

Liu Zhi pursed her lips in disgust. Violence can solve the problem, so what's the point of fighting with words.

It was past noon when they got home, Xu Hua and the others had already cooked and ate, and left some food for them.

The two of them just ate, probably because Xu Hua was used to thrift and didn't cook much. Even though they left more for the two on purpose, it was still not enough.

Yu Sheng divided Liu Zhi half of the rice in his own bowl, "I can't finish it."

It has been such a long time, it must be a fake if he can't finish a bowl of rice, Liu Zhi naturally doesn't believe it, and immediately wants to share the rice back.

Yu Sheng moved the bowl away, "Be obedient."

He said again: "Mother is used to frugality, it's not that she doesn't cook much on purpose."

Why didn't Liu Zhi know Xu Hua's thoughts, the old couple must not have eaten enough, "I know, let's eat some alone first, and eat more later in the evening."

"Bring the bowl quickly, or I won't eat it."

The two stalemate for a while, Yu Sheng put the bowl in front of her, and Liu Zhi gave it to him, "Don't do this next time."

"Okay." Yu Sheng said softly.

Liu Zhi picked up a chopsticks of sour radish mixed with chili for him, "This is for dinner."

Then he took a big mouthful of rice.

Seeing the woman leaning against the door and eating, Yu Sheng smiled, and then began to eat too.

……

After eating, they had to go out to look for wild vegetables. When Xu Hua and Yu He heard that they were going to pick them and sell them, they also went out with their baskets.

Wild vegetables are easy to find, and they are everywhere in the mountains and plains. After half an hour, the basket on Yu Sheng's back was almost filled.

Seeing that Yu He was panting a bit, Liu Zhi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Yu Sheng, "That's enough, let's go home and make the dumplings earlier."

Then she went to fetch Yu Sheng's pannier, and whispered again: "Father can't walk anymore, you can support him."

The wild vegetables are not heavy, Yu Sheng nodded, Yu He wiped his sweat, and blamed himself: "I knew I wouldn't delay you all."

"The doctor said to move more."

Yu Sheng wiped his sweat for him, and said again: "Take a break when you are tired, don't be brave."

Yu He patted his hand and signaled him not to worry, "I'm too tired, it's just that I haven't moved for a long time, and my legs are a little soft."

Yu Sheng made a "hmm" sound.

Xu Hua was in good spirits. She pulled some wild vegetables while walking, and said with a smile, "Zhier wants to eat dumplings, right? I'll make stuffing for you later."

"Okay, that's enough, let's do it tomorrow morning." Liu Zhi walked over to take the wild vegetables in her hand.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Yu Sheng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This is the only time in his life that he looks the most.

with her...

Back home, Xu Hua started picking wild vegetables, Yu Sheng was kneading dough and rolling out skins in the kitchen, and Liu Liuzhi started chopping meat, with a crackling sound.

They were all busy with work, Yu He couldn't be idle after a while, and insisted on helping Yu Sheng roll the skin.

Yu Sheng was a little helpless and backed away, "Father, you should rest."

Yu He smiled and said: "Enough rest, go and help Zhi'er chop meat."

Yu Sheng looked at him for a while, and had no choice but to help Liu Zhi chop the meat, but Liu Zhi refused to let him do it, and looked out the door, "I'm almost done chopping, you go and help your mother."

Yu Sheng stood still, he stretched out his hand to hold her knife, and said in a low voice, "Mother will let me help you."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said cheerfully: "Then I'll help mother, you can chop it up, and I'll give you a girdle around it."

After she finished speaking, she untied the girdle, and then tied it around Yu Sheng's waist.

The woman's hand rubbed against her waist, feeling a little itchy, Yu Sheng's whole body froze, and he recovered after she got out of the kitchen, and then a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

When did his general treat her like a man of blood...

Or when to treat yourself as a woman.

……

Seeing that it was getting dark before the dumplings were served, Xu Hua asked Liu Zhi to taste one first, Liu Zhi didn't hold back, and ate one generously, boasting: "It's delicious."

Hearing that it was delicious, Xu Hua smiled from ear to ear, "Eat more if it tastes good." As she said that, she wanted to share some of the dumplings in the bowl with her.

Liu Zhi hurriedly removed the bowl, "There is still in the pot, let's cook if there is not enough."

Xu Hua looked at the dumplings, her eyes turned red, "It would be great if this is the case in the future."

Either she couldn't endure hardship, or she was afraid that Liu Zhi would not be able to bear it if she became poor like before.

Yu Sheng pursed his lips, "Mother, it will be fine in the future."

Yu He knew that his daughter-in-law had been suffering since she married him, so he felt unhappy, so he patted her on the back lightly, "Hurry up, the dumplings won't taste good when they're cold."

Xu Hua nodded, lowered her head, took a bite, and said hoarsely, "I'll get some shepherd's purse tomorrow morning, and pancakes for you to eat."

"Success, mother, bake a few more."

Liu Zhi responded to her words, and then she caught a glimpse of Yu Sheng looking at her from the corner of her eye, and she looked away.

She found that Yu Sheng always liked to watch her.

Could it be that there is something on the face?
She couldn't help remembering to wash her face, but she held back, for what she was afraid of, she used to be able to see people with her face covered in mud.

Seeing that there were not many dumplings in the woman's bowl, Yu Sheng picked some for her, "Eat it, I'll scoop it up." After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen, and brought out all the dumplings in the pot.

After eating and collecting, it was already dark, and Yu Sheng practiced with a stick as usual, keeping his feet steady.

Liu Zhi took a stick, weighed it, then showed it to Wu Wu, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to be too strong, you need to be accurate, and you need to be flexible. Just like you. Caught off guard."

Yu Sheng's eyes fell from the stick to the side of the woman's face. She looked focused, and his brows and eyes softened a little.

The two practiced for more than half an hour before taking a shower.

Seeing that Yu Sheng seemed to be about to sleep on the bed again, Liu Zhi froze for a moment, but soon felt nothing.

There were two thin quilts on the bed, and Yu Sheng took one and put it on the cabinet, and said in a low voice, "Occupy a place."

Liu Zhi said "Oh", paused for a moment with the hand covering the thin quilt, and then pulled half of it for him, "Go to bed early." After speaking, she turned her back to sleep.

Soon the bed sank, the quilt was lifted, and the man's scorching temperature came, and she moved a little inside uncomfortably.

At the same time, I wondered why I was acting awkward like a girl now.

It's not like I haven't slept on the couch with others before.

Yu Sheng naturally felt that the woman moved inside, and he moved a little in the opposite direction, "The walls are dirty, come to sleep."

"Okay." Liu Zhi moved a little to this side, and couldn't sleep for a while, probably because she was too full.

She was silent for a while, then thought of something and said: "Why don't you rebuild the house, it's a bit old, and if there is a heavy rain one day, the roof will definitely not be able to stand it."

"My father and mother's house is a bit damp, and I'm not in good health after staying for a long time."

Yu Sheng was silent for a whole day, "Don't use it for now, I'll work on it in a few months."

It is impossible for him to use the money Liu Zhi worked so hard for for everything, she still has her work to do, and she spent a lot of money.

Liu Zhi seemed to understand what he meant, she pursed her lips, "Yu Sheng, do you treat me as an outsider?"

It is undeniable that Yu Sheng and the others treated her very well and did not treat her as an outsider at all.

So she also tried her best to treat them as family.

"No."

Yu Sheng didn't hesitate at all. How could he treat her as an outsider? It was precisely because he regarded her as his family that he didn't want to use her money.

He is a man, if he can't solve these problems by himself, then what ability does he have to guarantee her future life.

He paused for a moment, then said again: "I'll start working on it when my feet recover."

At that time, a few more trips into the mountains should be able to save enough.

Hearing this, Liu Zhi thought about it too, his feet are inconvenient now, "Okay."

"Don't treat me as an outsider, I have no bad intentions for you."

She just wanted to make it up to him as best she could.

Yu Sheng pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I never doubted it."

never doubted...

Liu Zhi's heart shook for a moment, she didn't doubt Yu Sheng's lies, as long as Yu Sheng said it, she would believe it.

As if he was reassuring.

"Ah."

The two didn't say anything after that.

……

The sky was gray, and there was movement in the house.

Liu Zhi opened her eyes, took a look outside, but it was still dark, "What are you doing so early? You can't even see the shepherd's purse."

"I went to the mountains to fetch spring water."

Yu Sheng bent down and squeezed the thin quilt for her, and said again: "You sleep for a while."

How could Liu Zhi let him go up the mountain to fetch spring water by himself, so she lifted the quilt and sat up, "I'll go with you, just go down the mountain to get some wild vegetables."

Yu Sheng felt a little helpless, "Why can't you stay idle?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhile let out a loud voice, "Of course you won't be idle, you go and get the basket, and I'll come out after changing clothes."

Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

After he went out, he closed the door gently, looking at the gray sky, his mood was suddenly very light, and he would have a good time with her.

The movement of the two of them going out was very light, and Xu Hua and Yu Sheng who were in the room didn't notice it at all.

There was no one in the village now, so quiet that the grasshopper's voice could be heard.

Suddenly a dog rushed out and bit someone, even Liu Zhi was startled, and the next moment someone grabbed her around the waist.

Immediately changed direction.

The man scolded in a low voice, "Get out."

As soon as the dog heard the sound, it ran away in a hurry.

Liu Zhi came back to her senses, gritted her teeth and said, "This dog is so disgusting, why is no one killed."

It was the same dog that rushed to the house to yell last time.

This is another old man who must have been bitten.

Yu Sheng released her and explained: "There was a black dog in the village before. It often bit people. After biting my father, I beat it to death."

"The latter dog often came to the house and yelled."

"It must be a couple, this dog has a grudge." Liu Zhi said as she walked.

Yu Sheng laughed lowly, "Well, I was bullied, and you will beat others too."

Liu Zhi didn't think too much, and said with a smile: "Of course, if anyone bullies you, I will beat him to death."

Yu Sheng laughed several times, seemed to be in a good mood, Liu Zhi was taken aback for a moment, "I'm serious."

"I know."

Yu Sheng paused for a moment, then said again with burning eyes: "Daughter-in-law."

Not like a joke.

He suddenly called his daughter-in-law, Liu Zhi didn't know what to do, her cheeks felt a little hot for no reason, and after a while she said: "Let's go, it's going to be dawn."

The nearest spring to the village is halfway up the mountain, and it takes a quarter of an hour or two to get there. The sky is already brighter now, and the glow in the distance is clearly visible.

After Yu Sheng washed the wooden ladle, he scooped it up for Liu Zhi, and Liu Zhi took two sips of it, and just as he was about to pour the rest, Yu Sheng took it and drank it.

Then he filled two buckets of water with a wooden ladle, and covered it with a wooden lid the next moment to prevent scum from entering.

Liu Zhi was already looking for wild vegetables on the side, some distance away from the spring, she suddenly heard the sound of men and women panting, her footsteps paused, and she looked towards the source of the sound, but was blocked by the grass, so she couldn't see anything.

At this time, Yu Sheng came over, and naturally heard the voice. He probably knew which two people in the village it was, and had bumped into it once before.

"Go down and find."

Then he dragged her to the spring water.

After getting a little further away, Liu Zhicai asked, "Is this stealing?"

The woman wasn't embarrassed at all when she talked about this matter, instead she was gossiping with a bit of excitement.

Yu Sheng was amused and a little helpless, "Well, in the village, I bumped into it once before."

"It's too early, I'm not afraid of insects and snakes, really brave." Liu Zhi's temperament is actually like this, otherwise she wouldn't join the soldiers.

She suddenly remembered something, and said again: "At least one soldier and his wife went to the mountains to do this, but they were chased by dogs." After finishing speaking, she laughed out loud.

Yu Sheng smiled, "Just tell me these things, don't say them in front of outsiders."

"I know." Liu Zhi nodded.

The two of them went down the mountain while talking, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw a middle-aged man running up the mountain angrily.

Liu Zhi glanced at it, clicked her tongue, "It's exciting, it's time to catch an adulterer."

Seeing that she wanted to join in the fun, Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing and said: "We can watch the fun later."

Sure enough, not long after the two returned home, it was like a war in the village.

There were crying, scolding, and watching.

Just as Liu Zhi was about to get up, she saw Xu Hua running to the door to watch. Sure enough, it is human nature to watch the excitement.

Xu Hua had listened to it more or less in the village all year round, and whispered to Liu Zhi, "It's the daughter-in-law of the Hu Er family and ruffian Liu in the village, but the Hu Er family can't do it..."

Liu Zhi watched while listening, she didn't know when Yu Sheng would come, but when she realized it, the pancakes had already reached her mouth.

The man said in a low voice, "Watch while eating."

When Liu Zhi came to her senses, her face was a little embarrassed, she took it and took a big bite.

Yu Sheng also handed one to Xu Hua, but of course he didn't feed it to his mouth.

Then he looked at the woman with a vague smile, "I know more than my mother, let me tell you."

Xu Hua laughed twice, took the pancakes and went out to have a look, leaving the door for the young couple.

Liu Zhi took a few bites of pancakes, glanced at Yu Sheng from the corner of her eye, "How do you know?"

"Liu ruffian said everywhere, and many people in the village know about it."

Seeing that the broken hair around her ear was floating to the corner of her mouth, Yu Sheng raised his hand and pinned it behind her ear, his eyes met for a while.

Neither of them said anything, Liu Zhi turned her face away, "coughed", "This pancake is so delicious, I'll get another one." After speaking, she turned around and ran to the kitchen.

Looking at the figure in the kitchen, the corners of Yu Sheng's lips turned upwards, she still had some sense of a woman.

He lifted his feet and walked into the kitchen, "Would you like porridge, I'll scoop a bowl."

"I'll do it myself."

Liu Zhi didn't know why, but now she always felt that she was not herself to Shang Yu Sheng.

If she didn't know her own virtues, she would have thought that she had some perverted thoughts about Yu Sheng.
