Chapter 5

Wei Luan followed her for a while and noticed that Lin Yi had entered Aunt Feng’s house.

What was Lin Yi doing at Aunt Feng’s house? Wasn’t she looking for Jing Yan?

Wei Luan’s nervousness instantly dissipated. He was a little annoyed at himself for doubting and not trusting Lin Yi. In the end, he looked at Aunt Feng’s house and turned around to go home.

When he got home and pushed open the bedroom door, Wei Luan was stunned.

The originally messy bedroom was now in order. Even the two chairs were neatly arranged.

There were some colorful things on the table by the window. Wei Luan walked closer and took a look. They were all bottles and jars of women’s products. When he got closer, he could smell a sweet fragrance.

He suddenly thought of the woman who had straddled him last night. She seemed to have the same sweet smell. There were women’s clothes in the cabinet. The clothes looked beautiful and were a stark contrast to his tattered clothes.

A small bottle had been placed on the shelf by the bed. A bouquet of pale yellow wild chrysanthemums had been placed inside. The bright colors brought life to the shabby room.

Did Lin Yi do all this?

Ever since his three elder sisters got married, Wei Luan’s life had become very monotonous and boring. Due to his poverty, there were only a few things at home and it looked very empty.

At this moment, with Lin Yi’s belongings, the room was filled with a sense of warmth.

Lin Yi’s arrival was like the flowers in the bottle, bringing life to the dilapidated room.

Wei Luan sat on the bed and stroked the neatly arranged bedsheets. He thought to himself: “Lin Yi doesn’t seem to be as bad as the others say.”

Wei Luan originally wanted to wait for Lin Yi to return, but after waiting for a while, Lin Yi still had not returned, so he grabbed his coat and left.

The production team arranged fixed tasks for every resident every day. Only after completing them could they obtain production points. Food and various daily necessities needed to be exchanged with points.

Lin Yi was an educated youth, so she naturally did not do much farm work. Before she married Wei Luan, the supervisor of the production team often criticized Lin Yi for her poor work, saying that Lin Yi was lazy. The villagers also mocked Lin Yi for not being able to differentiate between rice seedlings and weeds.

However, from Wei Luan’s point of view, it did not matter if Lin Yi did not know how to do farm work. At most, he would just support her.

He was young and strong. He could do the work of three or four people by himself, and he did it quickly and well. If Lin Yi did not want to do farm work, she could just stay at home.

If there was a woman cleaning up the house, when he returned, the cold house would be much more lively and warm. Wei Luan did not ask for much and was easily satisfied.

However, when Wei Luan thought about how Lin Yi had jumped into the river to kill herself for Jing Yan, the notion seemed ridiculous.

How could she be willing to stay by his side forever?

Perhaps she would regret it in two days and leave him.

The expression on Wei Luan’s face became more and more serious. He sighed and tried his best to stop thinking about Lin Yi.

After reporting to the production team, he took his farming tools and set off with the production team.

Lin Yi went to Aunt Feng’s house to thank her for speaking up for her.

The two women got together and soon started chatting.

“Lin Yi, what’s the fabric for? Are you making clothes for Wei Luan?” Aunt Feng asked.

“That’s right. His clothes are so tattered that I can’t bear to look at them. I’ll make him a new set first. I’ll buy some new cloth when we go to town another day.”

“I’m glad you’re willing to marry him. I watched this child grow up. Although he’s a little quiet, he’s definitely a good person. He’ll definitely treat you well,” Aunt Feng said with relief.

Treat her well? Lin Yi thought about how Wei Luan almost killed her in bed last night, and her smile stiffened.

He was indeed very good. It was so good that she could not take it anymore!

Lin Yi shook her head and stopped thinking about what happened last night. She picked up the cloth on the table and gently touched it.

The fabric was not very good and was a little rough. However, it was enough to make Wei Luan’s clothes. After all, men had thick skin.

When she reached home, she placed the fabric, needle, and thread that Aunt Feng had given her on the table.

She had just gone to Aunt Feng’s house to borrow something and also to build a good relationship with Aunt Feng.

Aunt Feng was a principled and warm-hearted person. Since they were neighbors, it was inevitable that they would interact with each other in the future. There was no harm in interacting more with her.

Of course, Lin Yi did not go there empty-handed. She realized Aunt Feng’s hands were rough because she had been farming for a long time, so she gave her two boxes of snake oil hand cream. They happened to come in handy for Aunt Feng, and Aunt Feng even said that she would give her a few chicks.
