Sir, can you marry me?

Chapter 62

"Why did you make Nyonya angry?" Xiao Wenqing asked Zhao Mingtang while cleaning up the dishes. The mother-in-law is a cheerful person, and she is not easy to get angry.

"..." Zhao Mingtang lowered his head, unable to tell her the reason.

Seeing this, Xiao Wenqing said: "You can apologize to her later, please don't be angry with her old man."

Zhao Mingtang shook his head and said nothing.

Xiao Wenqing had no choice but to wash the bowls and chopsticks by the well, put them in the kitchen after washing them, and then went to her mother-in-law's east room to talk with her, trying to understand the reason for the sudden conflict between mother and son.

It was already dark, Mother Zhao lit an oil lamp in the room, but she was still asleep.Seeing Xiao Wenqing coming in, she was a little happy.

"Mother, Mingtang doesn't say anything. My daughter-in-law doesn't know why you are angry, but I can be sure that you are angry because of him. I will apologize to you on his behalf." Xiao Wenqing said gently, facing Zhao's mother.

Zhao's mother helped Xiao Wenqing up, and sighed: "Wenqing, this matter, whether it is big or small, I just look annoyed."

"Mother, tell me, daughter-in-law, listen, if daughter-in-law is capable, she will help you." Xiao Wenqing said meekly.

Zhao's mother pulled Xiao Wenqing to sit on the edge of her bed, touched her fair little hand and said, "You have been married to our Zhao family for almost a month, but, that bastard has not consummated the marriage with you yet, what do you think?" Am I in a hurry?"

Xiao Wenqing blushed immediately, and lowered her head slightly in shame.

Zhao's mother said, "To be honest, when Ming Tang got hurt on his face, he also got hurt a little bit on his body. He has been reluctant to ask for a wife for a long time, and now that he has a daughter-in-law, he doesn't want to consummate the house. I'm worried that he was hurt at that time." Kidney or lifeblood, I can’t. If he can’t, wouldn’t he want to make you a widow? If he can’t, my Zhao family will be extinct.” After speaking, her voice choked up, and she stretched out her hand to press the corners of her eyes.Wenqing is young and doesn't know about the boudoir, but she can't keep cheating her, wasting her youth and killing her for life.

Xiao Wenqing immediately comforted Zhao's mother and said: "Mother, no, Mingtang should be fine." Although she did not consummate the marriage with Zhao Mingtang, she could feel his shortness of breath sometimes.

Zhao's mother shook her head and said: "Mingtang is the same as before, and his body looks very strong, but who knows if he has any hidden diseases? I told him to find a doctor last time, but he refused."

She grabbed Xiao Wenqing's hand and said eagerly: "Wenqing, only you can determine whether Mingtang has hidden illnesses or not. Mother begs you, lure him to consummate the marriage with you tonight."

Xiao Wenqing's hands trembled, and suddenly he felt a heat rushing towards his forehead.

Thinking that she didn't know how to consummate the house, Zhao's mother took out a neatly folded red embroidered pasai from under the mattress and put it in Xiao Wenqing's hands, saying: "This is a plan to ward off fire. My mother put it in my dressing box when I got married." Yes, I'll pass it on to you now, take it back and watch it with Ming Tang, and follow the instructions above." The son couldn't make sense, so she had to start with the daughter-in-law.

"Mother..." Xiao Wenqing shyly squeezed the fire map that her mother-in-law stuffed into her palm.

"Don't be shy, it happens to all women." Mother Zhao coaxed, "Don't be afraid, although Mingtang is dull, he is very gentle and won't hurt you." After finishing speaking, she pulled Xiao Wenqing up and pushed her out own room.

Xiao Wenqing grabbed the fire map, hesitated for a moment, then stuffed it into her arms, and went back to the room to get the clean clothes to be changed later.

Walking outside the bathroom in the yard, she knocked on the door and asked, "Mingtang, do you have enough water? Do you want me to add some water for you?"

Zhao Mingtang, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, said, "No need, just wait a little longer, I'll come out right away."

Xiao Wenqing walked away to the kitchen to see how much hot water was still there, then poured half a bucket of well water into the pot that still had a little hot water, and lit the fire to boil the water.

After a while, Zhao Mingtang came over wearing a short-sleeved jacket and white trousers that reached below his knees, and said, "I've finished washing. The bathtub was also cleaned, and I even poured some cold water into it."

"Well, the hot water will be ready soon. You are tired, go back to your room and rest first." Xiao Wenqing said, got up, walked to the stove, and opened the lid of the pot.Finding that the water in the pot was steaming, she brought a copper spoon for fetching water and a wooden basin for holding water.

When Zhao Mingtang saw this, he came over and asked Xiao Wenqing to fetch more hot water, and helped her carry the wooden basin filled with hot water to a bathtub next door, and tested the water temperature.

Xiao Wenqing saw it and was moved by Zhao Mingtang's thoughtfulness and tenderness.Her vision was very good at the beginning, and her luck afterwards was also very good. With such a husband-in-law, what more can a wife ask for?
After Xiao Wenqing washed herself and returned to the dormitory, she saw Zhao Mingtang walking slowly on the bed with a hunched body.

"Mingtang, there are two mosquito repellent sachets hanging in the tent, there should not be many mosquitoes." Xiao Wenqing said, opened the dressing box and began to comb her hair.

"Sachets with spices can't completely repel mosquitoes." Zhao Mingtang said, "By the way, mother, did you help catch mosquitoes?"

"Mother has smoked mugwort leaves every three days recently, so there are not many mosquitoes in the house. There are basically no mosquitoes hanging in the sachets in the bed net." Xiao Wenqing said, "It's the same with Mother, there is no need to catch mosquitoes."

Zhao Mingtang did not catch the mosquito, so he gave up after hearing this, and lay down to rest.
