Chapter 51: The Ugly Ger’s Farming Story

Zhang Ming opened the door and saw a tall and handsome man standing in front of his house with something in his hand. He asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m from the Xu family in the back mountains. This is your wife’s dresser that we made at our house. The down payment has been paid, and the item is ready. Take a look. If there are no issues, you can pay the remaining amount,” Li Changfeng handed the item to Zhang Ming with a serious expression.

Zhang Ming took the item and looked at it, somewhat surprised. First, he was surprised that this man was the husband of the “ugly ger” from the Xu family and yet looked so handsome. Second, he was surprised that this man could do woodworking! The craftsmanship was comparable to the village carpenter, Uncle Zeng.

“Jiao Jiao, you came back at just the right time! The dresser that the Xu family sent for you has arrived and is ready,” Zhang Ming caught sight of Luo Jiao, who had just returned, and immediately approached him with the item. He regarded his wife, who looked good and was passionate in bed, as a precious treasure. He was afraid of upsetting and making him dissatisfied with himself. He cherished Lu Jiao deep in his heart. During the five years he spent in the military camp, he had been thinking about Luo Jiao day and night. Now that he was back, he felt that Luo Jiao had become even more delightful.

Luo Jiao’s complexion wasn’t great, but as soon as he saw Li Changfeng standing there, his eyes regained their sparkle. He directly took the item from Zhang Ming’s hand and looked at it, then smiled at Li Changfeng and said, “It looks really nice. I like it.” Then he glared at Zhang Ming and said, “What are you standing there for? Give him the money!”

Zhang Ming chuckled and swaggered over to Li Changfeng. Standing together, it became more apparent to Luo Jiao that Zhang Ming was like the fertile soil where Li Changfeng had grown! And it was a very barren kind of soil! “How much is it?” Their house was also one of the few blue-tiled houses in the village. Thinking about Li Changfeng and their house, Zhang Ming felt a slight sense of self-satisfaction.

Li Changfeng remained completely emotionless. “The down payment was forty wen, and the remaining eighty wen.” As Zhang Ming went inside to get the silver, Luo Jiao slowly approached Li Changfeng, enticingly saying, “If you have time, come and talk to me more often~” Li Changfeng took a few big steps back, still not showing any change in his expression. Luo Jiao felt a bit frustrated. This person! He really doesn’t understand romance!

When Zhang Ming came out, Luo Jiao bypassed him and went back to the room directly. Zhang Ming thought Luo Jiao was throwing a tantrum again, but he didn’t pay much attention. As long as this person pleased him, a little indulgence didn’t matter. “Here, I wish you and Brother Xu a lifetime of happiness!”

Obviously, it was a teasing remark, but Li Changfeng took it seriously and nodded earnestly, “Thank you very much!”

Zhang Ming: “……..You’re welcome.” Can’t this person sense the teasing tone in his voice?

Of course, Li Changfeng didn’t understand. In Li Changfeng’s heart, nothing could be more appealing than being blessed to be with Xu Qing forever.

Luo Jiao gently opened the door to the main hall, watching Li Changfeng’s departing figure with dissatisfaction. The man he desired had yet to be captured by him!

“This is the eighty wen paid by the Zhang family.” Li Changfeng handed the money to Xu Qing, who carefully stowed it away in the wardrobe. This was Li Changfeng’s first commission.

“Trust me, I will make sure you live a good life,” Zhang Ming’s boastful words to Lu Jiao only struck one chord in Li Changfeng’s heart: he needed to work hard, rebuild the house, and provide a better living environment for Xu Qing.

Looking at Li Changfeng’s earnest expression, Xu Qing’s eyes were full of seriousness. “Of course, you are my man, right? But for now, the most important thing is to get a new bed. This bed…,” Xu Qing glanced at the bed that Li Changfeng had specially repaired, “I feel like it won’t last much longer.”

Li Changfeng nodded firmly. That was a given. It was related to his “intimate” life satisfaction!

That night, when Xu Qing got into bed, he did so with utmost care. Only after he gently covered himself with the blanket did Li Changfeng stride into the room, opening the door with large steps.

Before Xu Qing could say anything, Li Changfeng plopped down on the bed, causing it to wobble. Xu Qing immediately felt the bed swaying again. “Gently!” His heart swayed with the rhythm of the bed, fearing it would collapse again, ruining their fun for the night.

Li Changfeng turned around and looked at Xu Qing’s nervous appearance, feeling mischievous in his heart. He intentionally shook the bed vigorously, causing Xu Qing to scream anxiously, “Li Changfeng! If you still want to get into my bed, behave yourself!”

Li Changfeng naturally understood the meaning behind “getting into bed” and immediately stopped, obediently getting onto the bed in front of Xu Qing’s watchful eyes, holding Xu Qing in his arms as they slept.

Days passed by, and the weather became hotter and hotter. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. Most of the pedestrians on the street were wearing summer clothes. Old Doctor Lin watched as Lin Fangliang’s date for mandatory marriage drawing closer, but this kid still hadn’t mentioned whether he had succeeded with that Xie family’s son. If he did succeed, why hadn’t he proposed to them since the days for official match is coming soon? If he didn’t succeed, why did he keep going to Xie’s village? It’s unpredictable! Unpredictable!

Ever since Lin Fangliang expressed his feelings to Xie Yu in front of Xie Ama a month ago, he had discussed with Uncle Xie. Since then, he had been going to the Xie family for various reasons. Xie Yu couldn’t escape from him. From panic and entanglement to helplessness, and now to a slight fluttering of the heart, slowly he began to accept Lin Fangliang.

Xie Ama never inquired about this matter. He simply followed Xie Yu’s lead. The villagers, on the other hand, discussed it for quite a while. Those with better thoughts believed that Xie Yu must have some skills. Twice he had been sought after by men from the town. Those with malicious thoughts secretly pondered that if Xie Yu did get married, he might end up like the Ma family in town.

Especially Xia Yu, the youngest son of the village head. Every time he saw Xie Yu, he scrutinized him with his critical gaze. He couldn’t understand why Lin Fangliang, who was not yet married, had taken a liking to Xie Yu, who had been divorced once.

Just now, when Xie Yu returned from Xu Qing’s house, he happened to run into Xia Yu. Xie Yu was about to say hello, but Xia Yu immediately turned his head and left angrily. Xie Yu found it quite amusing. After all, he was a few years older than Xia Yu and could naturally see Xia Yu’s infatuation with Lin Fangliang.

Xie Yu didn’t mind Xia Yu’s actions. In his eyes, Xia Yu’s behavior was more like that of a child throwing a tantrum because he couldn’t get a snack from an adult.

Xie Yu averted his gaze and turned around, only to see Luo Jiao. Xie Yu’s grip tightened. Whenever he looked at Luo Jiao, it reminded him of that day.

Luo Jiao glanced at Xie Yu, who seemed slightly uneasy, and raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t I considered your savior? Don’t you even want to say hello?”

Xie Yu opened his mouth slightly in response to Luo Jiao, but no sound came out. Helplessly, he nodded reluctantly towards Luo Jiao, considering it a greeting.

Seeing that he genuinely had nothing to say to him, Luo Jiao chuckled and waved his hand at Xie Yu before walking away. Xie Yu watched Luo Jiao’s departing figure, recalling the scene from a month ago when he was abducted into a room after returning from the Wu family with some items.

“Don’t move!”

The moment Xie Yu was restrained, he immediately recognized who the person holding him was! It was Qiu Da from the village! He was known for his unclean practices, often engaging in petty theft. His wife had a big fight with Qiu Da a few days ago, which angered him and made him storm out of the house. He hadn’t returned yet, and the village had been talking about it for several days.

Qiu Da, with his head buried between Xie Yu’s neck, took a deep breath and then sighed with delight. “It smells great! No wonder you’re the village beauty of our village!”

Xie Yu felt utterly disgusted. He desperately pulled Qiu Da’s hands restraining him, but Qiu Da remained unaffected, even showing interest as he allowed Xie Yu to struggle. “Good. Be more lively! I can’t get hard with someone as lifeless as a corpse!”

Xie Yu was horrified by these words, his eyes widened. In his daze, he struggled even harder, with only one thought in his mind: break free and escape! This thought raced crazily through his mind. Suddenly, he thought of something, and a flash of madness appeared in his eyes.

“Ah! Sss! You lunatic!”

Qiu Da let out a painful cry, clutching his hand that had been bitten hard by Xie Yu. He cursed, “You crazy person!” Xie Yu gained his freedom and immediately ran towards the main gate. There was no way Qiu Da would let him escape. Although there were no neighbors around their house, if Xie Yu shouted outside, it would be a big problem that couldn’t be swept under the rug!

Ignoring the bleeding wound on his hand, Qiu Da took big strides forward and covered Xie Yu’s mouth, lifting him up. Xie Yu, who had just recovered from his previous illness, couldn’t withstand this kind of tossing around! Just as the two were entangled, Xie Yu heard the front gate being opened!

Xie Yu’s reddened eyes stared fixedly at the courtyard gate, hoping that someone would hear the commotion and come to investigate. But the person he saw didn’t pay attention to his pleading eyes. Instead, after assessing the situation inside the house, they immediately closed the courtyard gate.

“What are you doing!” Luo Jiao stepped forward and forcefully pulled Qiu Da away, who hadn’t noticed his arrival yet. “Have you gone mad?” Qiu Da looked at Xie Yu on the ground, struggling to catch his breath, and smiled apologetically at Luo Jiao, “Why did you come here?”

Luo Jiao slapped Qiu Da’s hands away. “Why can’t I come? Your wife isn’t home, and I thought you were missing me. But I didn’t expect that as soon as I entered, I would see you doing such a reckless thing!”

Upon hearing these words, Xie Yu’s pupils contracted deeply. So Luo Jiao and Qiu Da had that kind of relationship! No wonder Lu Jiao immediately closed the courtyard gate without shouting to rescue him!

Thingyan: So Xie Yu never reported this?
