Seeing Ling Chaofeng coming over, Xiaowan hurriedly turned around and wiped her tears. She was about to reach her hand into the cold water to wash the dishes, but he was stopped by Ling Chaofeng: "Add hot water and then wash."

Xiaowan forced a smile: "Are you silly? Well water is warm in the winter and cool in the summer, how could I be so delicate and expensive?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "The reason you feel warm is because the ground is cold, but in reality it is still cold. It is much colder than summer, don't freeze your hands."

He poured the hot water evenly into a few pots, rolled up his sleeves and helped her wash them, before carefully drying them with the Xiaowan. Seeing that Ling Chaofeng's hands were so nimble, she smiled and asked, "Hubby, you've also worked before?"

Ling Chaofeng said, "In the two years that I've been here, I washed the dishes and changed the sheets to slop them. I did it every day."

Xiaowan asked in shock: "You're the young master."

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "My mother said, as a boss, one cannot do everything personally. However, one must know how to do everything, or else how to know if the both of you are doing it well."

The Xiaowan felt that this made sense, and asked with a smile: "Did I do well?"

Ling Chaofeng looked at her, he extended a finger and gently wiped the tears on her face. Xiaowan quickly dodged, using his wet hands to feel, he did not know whether it was tears or water. She said, "I'm not crying."

"I didn't say you were crying." Ling Chaofeng smiled. Xiaowan's plan was still simple after all.

"Hurry up and work. It's cold outside." The Xiaowan lowered her head and ignored him, muttering to herself, "Why don't we just enclose this place in the backyard? Everything in the restaurant is fine, it's just that this well is outside, it's not convenient."

Ling Chaofeng said: "Well water is the same as river water, it should not be private. My mother knows that there is a well here, that's why she built the building next to it.

The Xiaowan asked: "What if someone had evil intentions? Our village has wells in our hands that lock them after taking out water, afraid that others would degrade them. "We don't have a well at home. I have to bring water every morning, and that woman is very particular about it. The well water can only be used to clean clothes. She has to eat the spring water flowing down from the back mountain, and every day I …"

With that said, Xiaowan did not say anymore. When she first arrived, she did not complain or show her wounds, as she always did. She would rather her sleeves were wet than show her wounds.

But now, with not a single scar left on her body, she was more and more accustomed to speaking carelessly about her past suffering. However, it wasn't because she wanted others to know how miserable she was that she would unconsciously speak out.

She didn't think this was good. She didn't want to be pitied. Everyone here doted on her, so she didn't need to do anything unnecessary. Anyone who talked too much would get annoyed.

Ling Chaofeng listened quietly and did not say anything, but he held onto Xiaowan's hands tightly, the warmth in his husband's embrace flowed through his fingers and into his heart. Xiaowan looked at him and his tears could not help but roll down his cheeks as he sobbed, "Hubby …"

"Crying in the wind, your face is going to burst." Ling Chaofeng smiled gently, "Those expensive ointments are not wasted."

Xiaowan buried his face in Yue Yang's chest and sobbed, "What if she comes again? I feel so ashamed, even if I don't recognize her, I can't change their family. I can't hit them, and I can't kill them. Didn't you say that there's a way to make her afraid to appear before me again? "

Ling Chaofeng said: "I failed to do what I promised you would happen, late at night. I'm sorry, don't be angry."

Xiaowan shook his head: "I'm not angry, and I don't want you to be sorry. The ones who hate you are them, I know you have your reasons."

Ling Chaofeng said: "That's not much of a reasoning, it's just that I feel that they aren't worthy of us being absolutely good at what we do, not worthy of our efforts. But if you really want me to break their legs, or even their lives, I will definitely do it."

A killing intent colder than snow rose from the man's eyes. Xiaowan's heart trembled. It would be troublesome if she hurt or killed her. Even if Ling Chaofeng managed to escape the yamen, he was afraid that he would end up in the hands of others.

Xiaowan had long since felt that Hubby's friends were everywhere in the world, and at the same time, he must have enemies on his side. There would definitely be people who would be jealous of him, would there be people who would hate him for being a hindrance, and wouldn't he have to go through so much trouble for the sake of that Madam Xu woman?

Even for the Xiaowan himself, if she used a Jade Ring's wish, it might be enough to kill the Madam Xu. The Jade Ring were so sacred, that no matter which immortal or Bodhisattva bestowed it to her, they must have seen her kind heart. If they used it to do something like that, then it would truly be unworthy of the heavens' kindness.

In this way, without needing Ling Chaofeng to explain, Xiaowan understood herself. Her eyes gradually lit up, and in the end she only said: I'm afraid that over time, when you all see my family members, you will be so irritating, even I will hate you. I don't care about anything else, it has nothing to do with me whether she is dead or alive.

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Next time she comes back, if you chase her away, and scold her like that just now, at least you would feel a bit better."

Xiaowan waved his fist: "Actually I even want to punch her. I just think that there are too many people in the shop.

Ling Chaofeng shook his head: "She has to say whatever he wants to say, and he didn't even need us to advertise it ourselves."

They used to say that once I got married, I would become a yaksha very soon. I had already thought about it, so I decided to become a yaksha to scare them to death. And then I did it every time, every time I saw one.

At this time, Madam Xu sneezed loudly at home, but her nose was blocked, causing her to be unable to breathe.

The mother and daughter pair laid on the bed. She pointed at Master Mu, who was sitting beside them, crying and laughing, "Your good daughter was born. Why didn't I strangle her then? "When I'm done, I'm going to dig out that woman's grave and feed it to the wild dogs."

The Master Mu knocked on the brick bed with his pipe, and said quietly: "You just care about causing trouble, if you die, I'll collect your corpse."

The Madam Xu was burning with anxiety, she almost vomited blood as she pounced on Yue Yang, and twisted into a ball.

She then pulled her hair and bit into her face, causing him to become angry, and then she smashed him onto the brick bed. Madam Xu wailed like a ghost and howled like a wolf, startling everyone outside to come watch the commotion, Wen Bao became even more foolish, and started crying as she sat at the door: "My father hit my mother, my father hit my mother."

By the afternoon, everyone in the village knew that Madam Xu had asked her to clean up the mess.

In fact, the villagers had already felt it was strange. Madam Xu had mistreated Master Mu's eldest daughter like this for so many years, and as her father, she had not uttered a single word. Now that his daughter was married, he was rather stubborn. She began to argue with his wife, and even attacked her.

Aunt Wang came to visit them in the afternoon and brought Jiang Tang over for them to drink. Madam Xu was in a sorry state as she laid on the brick bed, sick, her body was full of pain and tears, and he said to Aunt Wang: "He wants to kill me so that he can find a young girl for her daughter. But even if I die and become a monster, he won't let them live peacefully."

"I already advised you, don't mess with him." The Aunt Wang said, "In my opinion, the reason why he always let you go was because he was afraid that you would abuse the Xiaowan even more when you were outside. Now that the Xiaowan is married out, he has nothing to worry about."

Madam Xu spat fiercely. "His wife, others are spouting nonsense, you can't spout nonsense. When did I mistreat his daughter?"

"Yes yes yes, I'm talking nonsense." The Aunt Wang changed her tone, "In short, listen to my advice. There are still many days left, why are you in such a hurry?"

Madam Xu felt a splitting headache, she sighed, and muttered: "Not hard, not soft, I think it would be better for me to give up early."

Aunt Wang laughed: "When Wen Bao grows up and gets married, it'll be at least eight or nine years. In this eight or nine years, will nothing happen to them? You just have to watch coldly and attack as soon as you get the chance. "

"Sigh …"

"Right." The Aunt Wang asked, "It's been four or five months since we got married, and there's no movement from inside?"

In the village, the most important thing to do after marrying a wife was to give birth to a baby, to take pity on a lady, to have a body that was more important. After entering the village for four or five months without any movement, the old granny should show a face.

However, Xiaowan did not have such considerations at all. Things happened as scheduled these few months and they were extremely intimate on the bed. She did not eat any of the hidden medicine because Ling Chaofeng was very careful.

She had asked his husband why he didn't want their dolls. Ling Chaofeng told her to wait two years for her, to first let her recuperate her body, before she grew up a little.

On the same day, because of Xiaowan's wish, Yue Huaiyin's ankle healed completely when she woke up in the morning.

Little Cui said that the Bodhisattva Spirit had appeared, and she could not bear for the Young Miss to suffer, yet Yue Huaiyin was thinking whether she should go to Ling Xiao Inn in two days and thank Ling Chaofeng.

Yue Huaiyin did not have any appetite for the entire day. In the evening, Susu brought over a bowl of porridge and advised her: "Miss, you should at least have a bite to eat."

Yue Huaiyin reluctantly moved the spoon, seeing that Susu was standing at the side hesitating to speak, he asked: "Is there something?"

Susu said: "Miss, when does our shop close for the new year?"

"It will close at twenty-eight in the year. It will open at five o'clock in the year." Yue Huaiyin said, "Do you want to go home with aunt?"

Susu said: "Not home, my brother is at home, there is no telling where he's going to sell me off to, it was Xiaowan who asked me to go with my mother to the inn for New Year's Eve, I want to ask if you can do it."

Yue Huaiyin laughed: "Of course, you and my aunt are just working here, not selling me as a slave. Don't ask me what you want to do during your rest days."

"Thank you, Miss."

"How many days will you be there?" Yue Huaiyin was actually very envious. She also wanted to spend New Year's Eve at the inn with Ling Chaofeng.

"We should be staying for a few days, but on the first day of the new year, we will definitely come to pay our respects to you." Susu said.

"There's no rush, you can play with Xiaowan. If there's anything fun, come back and tell me." Yue Huaiyin took out two sticks of money from his money box and gave it to her, "It's the new year, it's not good for you to come empty-handed.

Susu did not dare accept it, Yue Huaiyin allowed her to take it, and after pushing it aside a few times, she kept the money. Just when she was about to leave, the young miss warned again: "If there's anything fun, remember to tell me when you are back."

"I have." How could Susu think so much?

As Yue Huaiyin sat down, she lost her appetite for porridge. Thinking back to yesterday when she was temporarily alone with Ling Chaofeng, if such a man was his own husband, how happy she would be.

's expression suddenly changed when she barged in the door, and she wanted to send him away with her entire body. Although young lady was silly, it seemed like women had their own instincts, they could sense that someone was missing their man.

Since Xiaowan had a conflict in her heart, she would definitely be on her guard against her. She did not plan to break off all decorum with her just like that, but she was thinking about the future, and how she would be Ling Chaofeng's woman, even if she had the same husband as Xiaowan.

Just then, Little Cui opened the door and came in. Seeing that she had almost nothing to eat, she spoke another bunch of words.

Laifu from the neighboring shop said that before noon, he saw an old woman leading two children and cursing all the way. They rented a donkey cart and went to Qingling Village, and they knew each other, saying that they were Manager Ling's mother-in-law. Little Cui said, serious. "It's also about the Mid-Autumn Festival, when they were still fighting on the road."

Yue Huaiyin asked: "So that's the Xiaowan's mother?"

Little Cui shook her hand: "I heard Susu say that it was my stepmother, Xiaowan's mother had long died. She initially saved Susu because she could not bear to see Susu being mistreated, and said that she was also her stepmother.

Yue Huaiyin was deep in thought. "Laifu said that the woman probably went to an inn and came back shamelessly."

Yue Huaiyin had already fallen into her own deep thoughts. She wanted to get Ling Chaofeng, even if it meant having a partner with Xiaowan, if she could get him for herself … Why? Why can't all the good men under the heavens belong to her?

"Miss?" Little Cui suddenly called out to her again.

"What's wrong?" Yue Huaiyin regained her senses.

Little Cui said, "New Year …. Won't you go home? "

In fact, even Little Cui, and everyone else in the shop were people who had bought all the way to Baisha Town, but none of them knew where Yue Huaiyin had come from.

Yue Huaiyin laughed: This is my home, you guys can go back home or keep it for New Year, you can make the arrangements yourself. "If you are going home, I'll pay the fare. If you aren't going home, I'll give you all new year's money."
