C7 Make Money for Your Wife

"Brother Yiming, are you still mad at me? Don't you like me? "I …" Qiu Ju was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.

Usually, when Qiu Ju's house was collecting crops, they would send some to Xiao Family for whatever food was tasty. And when there was a farmland favor, Xiao Yiming would also go to Qiu Ju's house to help.

After a while, the two young men finally had some vague feelings towards Xiao Yiming. Although the two of them did not break the window paper, but in Qiu Ju's heart, she already saw Xiao Yiming as her future husband.

"Qiu Ju, it's all in the past, don't mention it anymore. Besides, I already have a wife now."

"Brother Yiming, how can you be like this? You clearly like me, how can that ugly daughter-in-law be compatible with you …" "I …"

"Qiu Ju, you're not allowed to say anything about my wife …" Xiao Yiming's face turned cold...

"Brother Yiming, I know it's wrong of my dad not to give you face, but when I finally convinced my dad to send Granny Liu to talk about coal, you … who knew that you would buy a wife? Can't you wait one more day for me? "Brother Yiming …"

The more Qiu Ju thought about it, the more she felt wronged. Thinking about the matters concerning Mrs. Xiao in the village and the rumors circulating between her and Xiao Yiming these past few days, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.

At this point, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiao Yiming had originally kept the matter of Qiu Ju's family in his heart. Although his relationship with her wasn't that deep, his father had come to his house and scolded him that day, telling him not to wishful thinking. This made him unable to lose face.

He was poor, but he had a backbone. Furthermore, after having a wife, he discovered that his feelings for Qiu Ju were very faint. He didn't even feel a tinge of fear when he looked at her crying.

"Brother Yiming, you can't do this to me. I like you so much. Brother Yiming …" Qiu Ju snot and teared up.

"You, don't cry. "Qiu Ju, it's my fault. I don't have good fortune. You should find a good person. I'm not good enough for you."

Xiao Yiming admitted that he liked her, but he had never thought of marrying her. Perhaps he felt that he was too poor to be her match.

"Brother Yiming, I like you. I won't marry anyone, so I'll marry you." Qiu Ju didn't want to miss out on such a pure and innocent man.

Xiao Yiming did not even like a village flower like the cuckoo, which proved that he was a good man who did not covet things based on his appearance. These few days, she had peeked at the Xiao Family's gate many times.

Seeing Xiao Yiming being so courteous towards that ugly daughter-in-law, she felt jealousy and hatred in her heart. All of this was her happiness, why should she give it up to someone else?

Although she wasn't very pretty, but she was countless times stronger than Luo Mannmann.

"Alright, Qiu Ju, hurry up and go back. Your father will be worried about you later. I'm going back too. My wife is still waiting for me."

Xiao Yiming was about to walk past her when he saw Qiu Ju quickly hug him from behind, hugging his waist.

With this movement, the wooden bucket in their hands fell to the ground. Water splashed all over the two people's bodies.

"Qiu Ju, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Xiao Yiming tried his best to pry her hand away and saw that Qiu Ju held her hand tighter.

Her face was pressed against his bare back: "Brother Yiming, don't go. Your wife just bought it a few days ago. Why don't you sell it, I'll follow you …"

Before Qiu Ju could finish her sentence, she was pushed away by Xiao Yiming. With an unguarded butt, she fell to the ground.

"Qiu Ju, let's end this here. If I hear you speak ill of my wife again, don't blame me …"

Xiao Yiming wanted to help her up, but in order to break her thoughts, he turned his head and coldly said, "Don't blame me for being impolite. Go back quickly. The night is cold."

After Xiao Yiming said this, he picked up the empty wooden bucket. He didn't get any water, his body was also wet, and he seemed to want to run away.

"Wuwuwu. Brother Yiming, how can you treat me like this? Wuwuwu …" Qiu Ju's heart ached even more as the night breeze brushed against her tear-stained face.

"Hmph …" She didn't believe that Xiao Yiming would change his mind so quickly. He was so honest and kind, he was definitely afraid that Xiao Yiming would be embarrassed and kick him out after buying a new wife. It must be like this.

When Xiao Yiming carried the empty wooden barrel home, the oil lamp in the room had already been extinguished. It was too late for them to delay for so long just now.

What was this all about? Just as Xiao Yiming put down the bucket, Luo Mannmann, who had heard the commotion, ran out. "Yiming, you're back. Why are you so late?"

Luo Mannmann originally wanted to go to bed early, but she was a little worried when Xiao Yiming didn't reply.

"I... "I just met some acquaintances from home. It took me too long, my wife. Why aren't you sleeping? Did you wait for me just now?"

Xiao Yiming's voice was filled with gentleness as he held his wife's hand. It was so soft that it felt real.

"About that, mom just fell asleep. I'm tired too. Let's go to bed early." Luo Mannmann pulled back her hand. What she feared the most was to see that loving face of hers, making her unable to return the favor.

"En, go to sleep early. Tomorrow is the market. I need to get up early." Xiao Yiming walked her back to her room.

"My wife, go to sleep early. I'll wake you up tomorrow morning."

"Mm, you should go to bed early as well."

Xiao Yiming closed the wooden door and sighed.

Sigh, he originally wanted to chat with his wife tonight to liven up the atmosphere. When the time came, he would sleep in her room. That Qiu Ju would definitely stir him up and make him lose his mind.

Alright, there was still a long way to go, so there was no rush.

The room was dark, with soft quilts. Although Luo Mannmann hadn't done much work in the past few days, she always felt very tired and fell asleep the moment she got close to the sleeping pit.

She slept soundly, with almost no dreams. When she woke up the next day, a gray light shone through the gap in the small wooden window.

Luo Mannmann opened her drowsy eyes and looked at the dilapidated room. She had just heard the only rooster in the house crowing.

Luo Mannmann was probably around five o'clock. Thinking that she had to go to the market with Xiao Yiming earlier today, she woke up halfway in a flash. Just as she picked up her clothes, she heard a knock on the door, "Wife, wake up."

"Sigh, I know." Luo Mannmann smiled in her heart. Wasn't this the perfect timing to get up?!

After dressing himself, he pushed open the window and looked into the distant horizon. The white glow of a fish belly could be seen. A gust of wind blew past, making the atmosphere somewhat chilly.

She picked up a wooden comb and casually stuck it into her hair. Since she only knew how to make a simple bun, it would save her a lot of trouble.

When he saw Luo Mannmann coming out, he immediately grinned and said, "Mannmann, the willow branch I went to pick just now is by the window. You can eat breakfast after washing up, Mother is still sleeping, be quiet."

"Mm, got it." Luo Mannmann scooped a bowl of water into the water jar, picked up a willow branch by the window, bit one end, and began to brush.

It seemed that Xiao Yiming would go out every morning to fetch water to pick the willow branches. No wonder it looked so fresh.

Previously, she didn't know that these willow branches could have such uses. It seems that the ancient people were quite intelligent.

Soon, breakfast was served. When Luo Mannmann finished washing up, she saw two bowls of steaming hot porridge and a bowl of pickled vegetables on the table. The two ate breakfast and were ready to leave.

Luo Mannmann didn't go to the market nor did she know what to prepare. She just stood quietly at the side and watched Xiao Yiming get busy.

He then took out the two earthen jars of On the Kang first, and placed the charcoal inside the jars that were used to burn firewood.

Then she saw him take a big bamboo basket and put in all the work he had done over the past few days. Luo Mannmann gave it a cursory glance and estimated that there were about thirty Wood products in the basket.

"Mannmann, go find a clean cloth and wrap my mother's embroidery." Xiao Yiming said as he looked at the motionless Luo Mannmann.

"Sigh, alright."

Luo Mannmann went back to her room and rummaged through her closet. Finally, she found a piece of cloth and went to the hall to find the embroidery items that Aunt Xiao had embroidered and wrapped them with cloth.

It was about time, he had brought everything that he needed. Only then did Xiao Yiming say: "Wifey, come to the yard and get on the car, let's go."

The cart in the yard was covered with straw. It was the same one that Luo Mannmann had ridden in a few days ago.

At that time, she was injured and her legs weren't agile, but now she was alive and kicking, how could she sit on it?

"Um, Yiming, let me walk first."

On such a long mountain road, there were two baskets on top of the cart. In addition to her, it was also quite heavy for her, so she was afraid of tiring him.

"Wifey, hurry up and sit down. If you dawdle for a bit longer, the sky will be full of daylight."

Xiao Yiming didn't know what she was thinking and directly pulled her into the car.

"Wifey, be careful. Just don't let these two baskets fall. Alright, let's hurry on our way."

"Oh, I'll help you." Since she couldn't refuse, then she couldn't be bothered.

After he sat down, the wheels started to roll. Xiao Yiming pulled the front of the car and started to walk quickly.

It was not yet full light, and the country road looked dim and unreal.

The grass by the side of the road was covered with sparkling dew drops. The air was fresh and the breathing was carefree.

Actually, this village was quite large. There were hundreds of families, and the village was very quiet. As soon as the two of them left the village, an ox-cart passed by.

The ox-cart was quite large, with three villagers on it and an old man driving it. The old man let out a loud groan, and the oxen obediently stopped.

At this point, everyone in the car saw Xiao Yiming and said, "Yiming, are you going to town with your daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, it's good morning Aunt Liang, third aunt and Big Brother Liu." Xiao Yiming said.

"Ai, isn't it just in a hurry? Isn't it just in order to get a good stall to sell some side dishes, so I can get there in a hurry?" Aunt Liang said.

"Why didn't Yiming take an oxcart?" "Let's hurry up like this." Liu Shan spoke up.

"It's alright, Brother Liu. It's not too late to get to town. You guys go ahead first, I'll keep up. "

"Sigh, be careful of that Yiming." The big uncle who was driving the carriage politely said a few words and brandished his bullwhip as he hurried on his way.

"Fellow villagers, I'll see you later." Xiao Yiming spoke a few sentences and quickened his pace to catch up. His footsteps were like the wind, and his steps were like the arrows of a flying car. He was not much slower than an oxcart.

Luo Mannmann was afraid that he would be tired, so she hurriedly said, "Yiming, slow down. Won't you be tired this way?"
