Chapter 308: The cannon fodder sister-in-law in the group favorite article (6)
After standing there for a while, Jiang Lai, who was on the kang, slowly turned his head and looked at him, with a somewhat aggrieved look in his clear and beautiful eyebrows.
"You still know how to come back."
The woman spoke, her voice soft and hoarse, as if she had cried.
Xie Jian, who was a little angry at first, suddenly lost a lot of his anger. He walked forward and sat down directly on the stool beside the Kang.
Jiang Lai continued to turn the pages of the book and read carefully.
This book has always been placed on the corner of the table at home. Now that it is in Jiang Lai's hands, most of it has been read.
Xie Jian stared at her, unable to see any flaws, as if he was really reading a book seriously, and the speed was not slow.
"Do you know the characters?"
"Yeah."
Jiang Lai looked down at him, then put the book aside.
"There is an old man next to our house. He can read and write. I followed him and learned a little bit."
"Oh, I didn't know that before."
I thought she was like other country women, unable to read a word.
After a moment of silence, Xie Jian thought of what had just happened and wanted to scold her, but now that the words were on his lips, he couldn't even speak. He didn't even dare to look up at her again.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Lai took the initiative to mention it.
"I was so hungry today that I ate some of your sister's eggs and was scolded by my mother."
There was some grievance in these words, which made Xie Jian feel a little guilty for no reason.
His daughter-in-law was so hungry that she ate food. Given her mother's character, she would not have an easy time. She would be scolded and maybe even beaten. Just now he wanted to scold her.
But thinking about it carefully, she was just hungry and wanted to eat something.
"Next time you are hungry, don't touch my little sister's things. You told me that I will bring you something to eat."
"I just got married, so I didn't know that all the good things in your family belong to your sister. Besides, you are my man. If you have a share of everything in the house, I have a share. Why can't I eat eggs?"
Jiang Lai spoke slowly and softly, obviously mentioning the things that made Xie Jian angry the most, but looking at her aggrieved look, the man couldn't get angry.
But he still pretended to have a stern face.
"My little sister is not in good health. She was lucky because we kept the rest of us alive in the early years. Now she deserves to eat well no matter how well she eats. Don't be dissatisfied if your parents feel sorry for her."
Jiang Lai sneered.
"Even if she is lucky, it will be used on you. Then I, a married woman, deserve to suffer along with you?"
Xie Jian was speechless.
Jiang Lai sighed and sat up and slowly approached Xie Jian. Under the candlelight, her thin body looked so slim and graceful under her thin clothes, especially her feet, which were white and clean when she walked over on the straw mat. As beautiful as pearls.
Xie Jian never realized that the daughter-in-law he married could be so beautiful.
He silently watched her approach, and then a fragrant aroma filled his nose, which seemed to be the scent of pancreas, but he had never felt that pancreas smelled so good.
"Here you go."
Jiang Lai went over and took a handful of things from his pocket.
Xie Jian looked along her smooth and slender arms. In the small palm was a handful of brightly colored wild grapes.
"I picked it from the tree by the river. It tastes very sweet to you."
Xie Jian looked at her hands and shook his head.
"You can eat it, I won't."
"Why don't you eat something delicious? You are a fool if you don't eat it. Are you a fool?"
The man frowned, feeling that Jiang Lai was not polite to him at all.
But when the word "idiot" came out of her mouth, there was an air of indescribable naivety.
Before Xie Jian could say anything else, Jiang Lai took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Is it delicious?"
Xie Jian pursed his lips and nodded.
He didn't care much about the taste of the Portuguese tart. All he felt on his mouth was the touch of his fingers. It was a little cold, smooth and tender.
Jiang Lai poured all the grapes in his pocket onto the table.
"Then I'll give it all to you. I've eaten a lot anyway."
After speaking, Jiang Lai stepped back, lifted the quilt and got in, looking at him with his head raised.
The place where Jiang Lai lay was only covered with a straw mat, which she brought on her wedding day. There was an earthen wall in the middle of the kang, only one person wide. Next to the earthen wall, there was a kang with Xie Jian's bedding on it. .
Ever since the unhappy wedding day, he had been sleeping on the bed next to him. He thought no one knew about it, but unexpectedly, it did not escape Lu Cuiping's eyes.
Xie Jian is a normal man, but he has no interest in Jiang Lai. He would rather be released in the river than go home to find Jiang Lai.
But something was wrong tonight.
A man who had been working hard all day at the farm should have fallen into bed and slept until dawn, but today he was tossing and turning.
In the darkness, he could clearly hear any movement from Jiang Lai, the sound of turning over, and the sound of the quilt being lifted.
It was extremely hot during the day and still muggy at night. The woman must have lifted the quilt because she was too hot.
There was a window on the wall facing her head, and the bright moonlight streamed down from the window, illuminating that small world.
As soon as Xie Jian turned around, he was suddenly struck by the sight of a figure lying on his side, shrouded in moonlight. The figure looked like a winding hill, with soft lines outlining an overly slender waist and slender legs.
And the black hair scattered on the pillow looked like smooth water plants in the river under the moonlight.
Xie Jian was fascinated when the figure suddenly moved and turned around unexpectedly.
The man immediately closed his eyes.
In the darkness, he heard Jiang Lai pat the wall cautiously, and after a while of silence, the rustling movement in the room started again.
It's a mouse. There are mice in every house.
During the recent autumn harvest, there have been more mice.
"Xie Jian?"
She shouted tentatively.
The man was stunned for a while before replying "Yes".
"There are rats. I'm scared and can't sleep."
What are there to be afraid of mice?
But then he thought about the fragrant aroma. He felt it was alluring when he smelled it, and the mouse must have been the same. What if he really bit her?
Helpless, Xie Jian stood up and prepared to catch the mouse, but Jiang Lai stood up and walked towards him.
"Let me stay closer to you. You are a big rat and don't dare to come to your side."
As he spoke, Jiang Lai dragged his straw mat and quilt over again, placed them next to Xie Jian, laid them out and continued to lie down.
"Okay, I won't be afraid anymore. If you go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow."
Xie Jian slowly lay back, his muscles all tense. Lying flat on the kang, he could even clearly hear the breathing coming from beside him. The faint fragrance in his nose became clearer and clearer. Every movement was right next to him.
Suddenly, a woman's murmur came from the side.
"I told my mother today that we are going to separate our family."
"Yeah, I know."
"My temper is like this. I can't bear the grievance. My mother also told you to divorce me and drive me away." (End of Chapter)
