Chapter 019.

When Zhen Zhen was unable to get out of bed for the time being, Shi Huai Ming brought the food into the house.

When Zhen Zhen finished eating, he came back in to clean up and told Zhen Zhen, “We won’t be learning anything new tonight, so rest.”

“Okay.” Zhen Zhen nodded as she leaned on the bed.

After Serving Huai Ming packed up the dishes and left, Zhen Zhen laid down on the bed and closed her eyes for a while.

After drinking the hot ginger and brown sugar water, and having the strength to eat, her body was actually much more comfortable.

After lying on the bed for a while, she got up, took her clothes, and went to the restroom to wash up.

After washing up, she put on clean clothes and a clean sanitary belt.

She didn’t keep the dirty clothes with blood on them, but washed them by hand.

After cleaning up, her body was clean, and her heart felt better, so she went back to the house and continued to lie down.

She was very careful when she was lying down, for fear of leaking onto the bed again.

In order to prevent it from leaking onto the bed, Zhen Zhen put a lot of toilet paper on it.

The pain in her abdomen was lessening a little.

After it was no longer so painful, Zhen Zhen fell asleep while lying down.

The good thing is that the pain only lasted for half a day.

The next day when she got up, there was no more pain in her abdomen.

The remaining feeling is that the body is heavy, the body is not refreshing so it is lazy to move.

I didn’t learn anything new last night, so I didn’t have to study in the morning, so Zhen Zhen also relaxed.

Wu Dafeng had nothing to do after breakfast, and came over to see Zhen Zhen, and saw that she was not busy, so she stayed and talked to her for a while.

The two of them took a small bench and sat in front of the house in the sun.

Dabai ran over to ask Zhen Zhen to play with him, but Zhen Zhen couldn’t, so he ran back and forth on his own.

When he got tired, he came to lie down at Zhen Zhen’s feet, wagging his tail with his tongue.

Speaking of yesterday evening’s incident, Wu Dafeng said: “Suddenly change the place is affected, mine is not normal.”

Zhen Zhen thinks back to last night, “I almost died of pain yesterday, I sat on the side of the road and couldn’t even stand up.”

It was Li Shuang who pushed her back with his bicycle.

Wu Dafeng says, “If you look at it this way, Li Shuang is not a bad guy.”

Zhen Zhen picks up on Wu Dafeng’s words, “She’s always been pretty good.”

Wu Da Feng is curious, “Then why are you annoyed with her? You haven’t spoken to each other for a few days, right?”

Zhen Zhen was silent for a while, and then told Wu Da Feng the reason, “I realized she was pregnant that day, and when she was vomiting a lot, I stewed a pot of carp and tofu soup, and gave her a bowl of it. Then I went to the sub store and accidentally overheard her telling someone else that she didn’t even consider me a friend, and if it wasn’t for Third Brother’s face, she wouldn’t even care about me.”

Wu Dafeng heard this and immediately asserted, “That’s what she said in her heart!”

Zhen Zhen gently held her breath, “After hearing these words, it was kinda hard to feel like a fool. I pour out my heart and lungs to treat her as a friend, she is the first friend I met over here, and as a result ……”

Wu Dafeng: “I told you a long time ago ah, she just look down on us.”

Zhen Zhen thought for a moment, “But she went to your house for dinner that day, surely she didn’t mean to vomit on the table.”

Wu Dafeng also frank, “I know, but I have a preconceived notion about her in my heart, I was already not happy with her, I know she did not do it on purpose, but I still feel very bad. But now, I don’t look at her that bad.”

Zhen Zhen smiled and added: “In fact, when I think about it, I can understand, we are all from the countryside, uneducated and uneducated, don’t understand anything, and she is not all the way. If it is not our man and her man is a brother, why would she waste her time with us? There’s nothing in common, and it won’t do her any good.”

WuDaFeng will have no temper, looked at ZhenZhen and said, “You are quite open-minded.”

Zhen Zhen straightened her back and took a deep breath, “I have to work hard to become better, only when I become better can I be valued.”

Wu Dafeng looked at Zhen Zhen and laughed a little, “You’re really like a child.”

She said, “We’re married now, serving a good man and bringing up a good child and living a good life is the right thing to do, not so many other things. The most important thing for you to do now is to give a child to Servant Huai Ming, and it’s best to have a few more sons, understand?”

Before she came to the city, her mother’s sister-in-law had told her the same thing.

She told her to hurry up and give Servant Huai Ming a child, give him a son, and use the child to tie Servant Huai Ming down, and her life would be secure.

But now, she felt that a child would not solve any problems.

Servant Huai Ming wouldn’t like her just because she gave birth to a child, just look at Lao Zhou and Wu Dafeng.

Of course the main thing was that there was no way for her to give birth to a child for Servant Huai Ming.

In this situation of needing to have a child to tie him down, Servant Huai Ming simply wouldn’t sleep with her and not have a child with her.

Of course her mind was not on this now that she had seen the gaps between various people.

Especially this time, what Li Shuang said really pierced her sensitive and inferior heart, so she had to work even harder to become better.

All this excitement all this pressure.

Now all of them became the motivation for her to try to get better.

Zhen Zhen didn’t talk to Wu Dafeng about having a child down the line, and pulled over after a few perfunctory sentences.

She helped Wu Dafeng with her needle and thread, helping her to put the edges of the cut and glued shoe buns on, doing needle and thread and chatting with her.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Zhen Zhen suddenly remembered something.

She put the upper back into the colander, got up and said to Wu Dafeng: “Sister-in-law, I have to go to the food store.”

Wu Dafeng tilted her head to look at her, “You’re going shopping again?”

She said as she also put down the needle and thread in her hand and got up, “I also have some things to buy, I’ll go with you.”

Zhen Zhen carried the small bench into the house and went to the restroom.

Wu Dafeng went home and put up the needlework colander, took the money and tickets out, and went to the food store with Zhen Zhen.

It is not convenient to ride a bicycle at this particular time, so Zhen Zhen walked with Wu Dafeng.

When we arrived at the store and walked in, Zhen Zhen first smiled and greeted Wen.

Shizuku smiled back, “Come to buy something?”

Jen nodded, “Yeah.”

After saying hello, she turned her head and saw Li Shuang.

When their eyes met, Zhen Zhen smiled and spoke first, “Sister-in-law Li Shuang, I’m here to buy something.”

Li Shuang froze slightly for a moment, then pulled up the corners of her mouth and said, “Go buy it.”

Zhen Zhen walked over toward the counter selling meat.

Shizuku nosily came next to Li Shuang and whispered, “Why are they talking to you all of a sudden?”

Li Shuang also whispered, “Because I’m a very attractive person.”

Ah Wen blankly glanced at her, “Ch-ch-ch-changing ……”

***

After shopping and coming back from the sub store, Zhen Zhen didn’t chat with Wu Dafeng anymore and went home to make lunch.

Wu Dafeng saw the time is still early, did not rush to cook, in the vegetable field gathered some small green vegetables, gave Zhen Zhen a large handful.

Zhen Zhen was busy cooking in the kitchen with her apron on.

She just bought back the ribs cleaned, blanched to remove the foam, and put the oil put onions and ginger stir fry some.

Stir fry the flavor and add half a pot of hot water, and then poured into the casserole inside, low-fire stewing.

Stew almost, and then add tender corn and carrots.

Stewed ribs soup steamed rice, the Wu Dafeng gave her small green vegetables fried two.

After doing this, it was almost time for a quick lunch.

Zhen Zhen paid attention from the window.

When she saw Li Shuang come back from his meal, she turned back into the kitchen, took a large soup bowl in the cupboard, served a bowl of rib soup from the casserole dish, and then carried the rib soup out the door and knocked on the door of Li Shuang’s house.

Li Shuang opened the door and saw her and subconsciously froze for a moment.

Then she quickly smiled and asked Zhen Zhen, “What’s wrong?”

Zhen Zhen sent the rib soup in her hand to her, “Sister-in-law, I stewed a pot of rib soup, stewed a casserole full of it, send you some, thank you for last night.”

Li Shuang looked at Zhen Zhen, and then at the rib soup in her hand.

She didn’t refuse, reached out to take the rib soup, and called out to Zhen Zhen as she turned back, “Wait a moment.”

Zhen Zhen stood outside the door and didn’t leave.

Li Shuang came out a while later with a can in her hand.

She put the can into Zhen Zhen’s hand and said with a smile, “Very tasty canned beef.”

Zhen Zhen looked at the can and didn’t reject it.

She smiled back, “Thank you sister-in-law.”

There was still more or less some awkwardness between the two.

It just so happened that at this time, Servant Huai Ming and He Shuo came back, and He Ziran ran over.

The two of them then didn’t talk much, and Zhen Zhen busily added, “Sister-in-law, then I’ll go home for dinner.”

Li Shuang responded, “Go ahead.”

He Shuo and Servant Huai Ming also split up, each going home.

Entering the house and closing the door, He Shuo opened his mouth and asked, “Did you and Little Cotton make up?”

Li Shuang took He Ziran to the kitchen to wash his hands and easily answered, “It should be sort of.”

He Shuo said, “It’s still good to make up.”

Next door.

Servant Huai Ming asked Zhen Zhen the same thing.

Zhen Zhen thought about it and also said, “It should be considered peaceful.”

It’s good to make up.

Mr. Huai Ming asked Zhen Zhen, “How is your body today?”

Zhen Zhen replied, “It’s already much better, and I’ll be able to attend classes as normal.”

Servant Huai Ming nodded, “Good.”

For the next three days, Zhen Zhen’s stomach didn’t hurt any more, only occasionally for a while.

Four or five days were completely over, her body was clean, and the feeling of fatigue and heaviness was gone.

Between her and Li Shuang, it also slowly returned to normal.

Sunday rest.

After breakfast, Zhen Zhen was summoned by Wu Dafeng, so she went to Wu Dafeng’s house to organize the vegetable plot with her.

Quite a few vegetables had grown up in the vegetable patch, and there would be more vegetables to eat in a while.

Wu Dafeng gripped the green vegetables and said, “I’ve always wanted to buy a few chicks to raise, but if I want to eat eggs, I have to pay for them at the grocery store. If I buy hens and raise them, the eggs I lay will be enough for me to eat.”

Zhen Zhen understood Wu Dafeng’s sense of pain and responded to her words by saying, “It’s okay.”

Wu Dafeng said unhappily, “But my Lao Zhou won’t let me, saying that this isn’t the countryside, that I’m a disgrace, and that raising chickens will stink up the yard, making it impossible to live here. I don’t know what kind of thing is pretentious, the countryside that are raised in their own yard, and have not seen anyone stink to death. Because of this I argued with him several times, he guess what he said, said I want to buy the chickens back, he will step on the chickens to death!”

After Wu Dafeng finished spitting, Zhen Zhen hadn’t answered when she suddenly heard Li Shuang call out to her.

She could hear Li Shuang’s voice, and Li Shuang was the only one in this courtyard who called her Little Cotton.

Zhen Zhen stood up in the vegetable field and turned around, saw Li Shuang waving at her, so she came over towards Li Shuang.

Jogging a few steps to the front, she asked Li Shuang: “Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Li Shuang told her, “Wen and I have a date to go out for dinner tonight, I want to ask you to join us, go?”

Zhen Zhen was a bit surprised, “Me?”

Li Shuang nodded, “Well, it doesn’t cost you anything.”

Zhen Zhen hesitates for a moment and voices out, “Why don’t I ask third brother later.”

Li Shuang directly said, “What’s the point of asking him about this? You can just say hello to him.”

Zhen Zhen thought about it, “But I went out to eat and left him at home, as if …… it was not very good?”

In the countryside, I have not heard of a woman going out to eat and play on her own without regard for her family, leaving her man at home.

Li Shuang said, “Let him eat with He Shuo He Ziran.”

Zhen Zhen thought for a while longer.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Li Shuang asked again, “Just say if you want to go yourself?”

Zhen Zhen nodded at her, “Yes quite want to go.”

Li Shuang: “It’s fine if you want to go, I’ll go talk to Squire Huai Ming.”

After saying goodbye to this matter, Zhen Zhen still returned to Wu Dafeng’s vegetable field.

Wu Dafeng asked her curiously, “What did she say to you?”

Zhen Zhen said, “She asked me to go out to eat with her, and there was also that salesgirl from the food store, Ah Wen.”

Wu Dafeng couldn’t figure out what this was all about, “What does this mean? What does this mean? A couple of women go out to eat together and leave the men and children at home? It’s fine for her to go out on her own, but why did she call you?”

She looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, “Did you promise?”

Zhen Zhen also felt quite weak.

She nodded at Wu Dafeng, “Yes.”

Wu Dafeng looked worried, “Zhen Zhen, don’t let her lead you astray. I advise you to hurry up and push it off. What kind of meal would a woman go out for? What kind of dinner does a woman go out to? Do they have to take you out for a drink? Is that a good idea?”

Zhen Zhen was undecided.

At lunchtime, she asked Mr. Huai Ming.

He already knew about it from Li Shuang and said, “Let’s go have some fun.”

Seeing that Servant Huai Ming said so, Zhen Zhen also made up her mind.

After eating lunch and resting for a while, she followed Li Shuang out the door and met up with Wen outside, and the three of them partnered up to go to the mall first to shop and buy things.

Zhen Zhen was not adapting to this kind of life.

There is nothing hard to need at home can also come to the shopping mall, see the things they like to pull out money to buy.

This kind of thing, she used to not even dare to dream about it, catching the market in the countryside that is a big deal.

So she didn’t buy anything, just followed the dry shopping.

After shopping and leaving the mall, Li Shuang and Wen took Zhen Zhen to the western restaurant.

The front door of the restaurant already made Zhen Zhen shy, inside the brilliant wall decoration, those golden tablecloths and chair covers, as well as those shining silver tableware, it makes her even more shy.

Good thing Li Shuang asked for a separate small private room, not with others.

To the small private room to sit down.

Li Shuang and Ah Wen called the waiter to order food.

Both of them ordered some of their favorite food, and asked Zhen Zhen, “Little Cotton, what would you like to eat?”

Zhen Zhen only knew simple words and couldn’t read the menu, much less know what those things were.

She couldn’t say, so Li Shuang had to ask her, “Do you like beef? How about ordering you a steak?”

Then Li Shuang gave Zhen Zhen ordered steak prawns bread and so on.

When ordering, he told the waiter, “All of them should be fully cooked.”

After ordering, the three of them sat at the table and chatted.

Li Shuang said, “We don’t come to eat often, we come to eat once a year and a half.”

Zhen Zhen didn’t hide in front of them and said frankly, “I’ve never even seen it.”

Shizuku smiled and said, “If you experience it today, you’ll get used to it when you come back later.”

Jen nodded, “Uh-huh.”

After chatting for a few moments, Shizuku thought of something else and looked at Li Shuang and Zhen Zhen and asked, “Do we want some wine?”

Hearing this, Zhen Zhen’s eyebrows jumped, thinking that she really knows how to drink.

She quickly voiced out, “I don’t know how to drink.”

Wen smiled, “Red wine, it’s not the same as white wine.”

Zhen Zhen didn’t know what red wine was, Li Shuang said, “I’m pregnant, I can’t drink, if you want to drink, you drink.”

Wen then asked Zhen Zhen, “Cotton, do you want to drink?”

Zhen Zhen thought for a while and said, “I’d rather not drink.” Otherwise it was all said by Wu Dafeng.

Wen stared at her and said, “Try it, you’re here, it’s not a loss if you don’t drink.”

She winked at her and said, “Today is Li Shuang’s treat.”

Jane couldn’t resist Shizuku’s temptation, so she agreed to try it.

Shizuku called the waiter and ordered a bottle of red wine.

The three of them waited for the food to be served.

Jen remembered something and said to Shizuku, “I’m older than you, so don’t call me Little Cotton.”

Shizuku laughed, “What’s wrong with you being older than me, I think calling me Little Cotton will go down well.”

Li Shuang said on the side, “She is always listening to me call, call smooth.”

It’s just a term of endearment, and it’s nothing, so Zhen Zhen called her whatever she wanted.

She didn’t seem to be very comfortable if Wen called her Sister.

The three of them chatted idly as the ordered dishes were served one by one.

Li Shuang and Wen were together, teaching Zhen Zhen how to use a knife and fork, how to eat western food, and how to drink red wine.

Li Shuang didn’t drink any alcohol, so he drank some fruit juice.

But Shizuku and Zhen Zhen drank a bit of wine, as if she was also affected by alcohol.

Under the effect of alcohol, the atmosphere at the table heated up a little bit, and the three people talked less.

Ah Wen, with both sides of her face slightly red, said to Zhen Zhen, “Little Cotton, let me tell you, this meal is Li Shuang’s special treat for you, she wants to make amends with you. She knows that the words she said before ah, hurt your heart!”

Li Shuang said next to her, “Why are you talking about this?”

Wen didn’t care about her, and continued to pull Zhen Zhen, “Li Shuang is a person, she is like this, she is cheap! I’ve had many problems with her. She thinks she’s the best in the world, she’s the prettiest, and everyone else is inferior to her. In fact, in my opinion, you are prettier than her, Little Cotton!”

Li Shuang, listening to these words, punched Shizuku’s shoulder with her hand.

Shizuku looked at her and smiled, “What’s wrong? Still not allowed to tell the truth? You’re allowed to talk about others and no one is allowed to talk about you!”

With that she looked at Jen and said with bravado, “Little Cotton, you say it too!”

Zhen Zhen had never drank before, didn’t have the capacity for alcohol, and the red wine made her dizzy.

She looked at Li Shuang, encouraged by Wen’s passion, and said, “Sister-in-law Li Shuang! Just wait for it! One day, I’m going to make you look up to me! Today you treat me lovingly, tomorrow I’ll make you ……”

“I can’t afford you!” Shizuku picked up on this with a slap on the table.

Li Shuang was simply speechless, “You two are crazy, right?”

Saying this, she explained to herself, “Oh, it’s drunk, I shouldn’t have let you guys order alcohol!”

But she was also in such an atmosphere, there was nothing to be unhappy about.

The atmosphere was lively, mixed with the booze, the relationship was getting closer and closer, and the conversation was getting more and more open.

Li Shuang and Ah Wen Zhen Zhen spat at each other, after spitting, Li Shuang remembered something else, she couldn’t hold it in such an atmosphere, so she reached out and pushed Ah Wen away, saying, “I have something to say to Little Cotton, so don’t listen.”

After pushing Shizuku away she looked directly at Zhen Zhen and asked in a low voice, “Little Cotton, did you sleep in a separate room from Squire Huai Ming?”

If it were usual, Zhen Zhen wouldn’t have said anything about this topic, but now that she had been drinking, she nodded her head and responded, “Yes.”

Shizuku naturally didn’t walk away, and shocked out of her voice after hearing, “What?!”

Li Shuang kicked her with her foot, “What the hell are you screaming for!”

Shizuku reacted with hindsight and was busy raising her hand to cover her mouth.

Zhen Zhen, urged on by the alcohol, opened her mouth again, “I’m uneducated and uneducated, I don’t understand anything, third brother is different, his marriage to me was arranged by the family, he doesn’t like me, he doesn’t sleep with me.”

Wen let go of his hand and whispered, “You look so beautiful, he is not something wrong with him, right? Is it ……”

The voice is as small as a little bit, “Not lifting ah?”

Li Shuang puffed out a laugh, but Jen shook her head seriously, “I don’t know.”

Wen vaguely added, “I heard that men are …… unable to control themselves in that area ……”

The first time I saw her was when I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night.

Shizuku explained, “I read about it in a book!”

Li Shuang didn’t talk nonsense to Shizi anymore, and asked Zhen Zhen, “Then what is his plan?”

Zhen Zhen blushed and hung her head, “He said to get along with each other first, he said that feelings will always be there, until we get along with each other, and then sleep together.”

Ah Wen commented, “He is really a gentleman, not worthy of me to see ……”

Realizing the relationship between Zhen Zhen and Servant Huai Ming, she knots her tongue and blinks, busy swallowing the following words.

Li Shuang smiled from the side and said, “I’ll help you.”

Hearing this, Zhen Zhen suddenly raised her head and looked at Li Shuang: “How can I help?”

Li Shuang: “Help you become better ah, so that Squire Huai Ming can’t climb high!”

Zhen Zhen blinked: “Can I?”

Li Shuang: “Didn’t you just say you want to make me unapproachable?”

Alcohol strengthens the courage, Zhen Zhen nodded, “I can!”

Li Shuang added: “Anyway, you listen to me, don’t follow Wu Dafeng’s example, you have nothing to do every day, you don’t have yourself, you don’t have your own life, you just revolve around your husband and children. Men simply do not eat this set, they will not be grateful for this kind of thing, the better you serve them, the more they take it for granted, the more they think you are useless, will not like you at all. You’ve got to make yourself better, live up to yourself, understand?”

Jen shook her head, “Don’t get it.”

Wood blinks a few times and then a moment later says, “Seems like I kind of get it.”

Thinking about it, she thinks it’s not quite right, “But isn’t that what women are supposed to do?”

Li Shuang: “Who said that, nowadays we talk about equality between men and women, women have long been emancipated.”

Zhen Zhen looked at Li Shuang Mu for a while, and nodded again.

Next to Ah Wen poured wine again, picked up the cup, said to Zhen Zhen: “Come on, little cotton, cheers to equality between men and women!”

Zhen Zhen picks up her glass to touch hers, “To a new society!”

***

Under the desk lamp at the writing table.

Servant Huai Ming withdrew his gaze from the book and looked at the alarm clock on the table.

It was already almost ten o’clock, so he closed the book and got up, grabbing his keys to go out.

Just as he arrived outside, he saw He Shuo also come out.

The two had a tacit understanding, and He Shuo spoke first, “Do you want to go take a look?”

Servant Huai Ming asked He Shuo, “Do you know where they’re eating?”

He Shuo nodded, “I know.”

The two of them paired up and went out together.

Because the western restaurant was relatively close, they didn’t ride bicycles.

There was no moon in the sky, the night color was thick, and it wasn’t easy to see the road when riding fast.

As the two of them walked fast, Mr. Huai Ming asked He Shuo, “Where’s your family’s He Ziran?”

He Shuo said, “He fell asleep a long time ago, he’s a very dead sleeper, it’s fine.”

When the two found the western restaurant, Li Shuang and the girls had already finished eating and drinking.

Because Zhen Zhen was a bit drunk from her first drink, Li Shuang and Ah Wen were helping her along.

Shizuku was also drunk from drinking and walking just a little bit better than Zhen Zhen.

In fact, Li Shuang was the one who brought along the two drunks.

When she saw He Shuo and Shi Huai Ming coming over, Li Shuang seemed to see a savior and was relieved.

She helped Zhen Zhen to Servant Huai Ming and told him, “You carry her.”

Squire Huai Ming carried Zhen Zhen, and Li Shuang asked He Shuo to help support Wen.

The five of them were walking back to their homes, Zhen Zhen and Wen smelling of alcohol.

He Shuo asked Li Shuang, “How did you let them drink like this?”

Li Shuang said, “It’s because their drinking capacity is too bad, and they want to toast when they are happy, I can’t stop them.”

Drinking too much Zhen Zhen softly lying on the back of the service Huai Ming.

Her red wine-flavored breath was hot and fluttered against Shui Huaiming’s ears.

Her voice was also sticky and soft as she called out to Servant Huai Ming, “Third brother ……”

Serving Huai Ming responded to her, “What’s wrong?”

Zhen Zhen didn’t say what’s wrong, and every now and then she called out again, “Third brother …….”

Seeing that she didn’t have anything to say to him, Shui Huaiming agreed, “Uh-huh.”

Zhen Zhen called him two more times like this, and he agreed twice.

Then Zhen Zhen opened her mouth again and suddenly asked, “Are you …… inactive?”

“……”

The world was instantly quiet.

A moment later, He Shuo: “We didn’t hear anything!”

Serving Huai Ming: “……”

Author has something to say:

The last chapter was also reworked and changed quite a bit, so you need to re-read it before reading this chapter~
