Chapter 402

"There was a new bride in our village who went to work in the fields the day after she gave birth. How could she do that? Her body hasn't recovered yet." Mother Zhong said to the others in a rambling voice, "She couldn't even get up, and the bleeding hadn't stopped. She was so pitiful!"

"She passed away within two years! When she was here, she always complained of headaches, and her period would last for ten days or half a month. Where did she bleed so much? We all said it was because she didn't take good care of herself during the confinement period! You have to be more careful too! Don't let her develop any diseases, or she will suffer when she gets old!"

She got out of bed the day after giving birth?

Zhong Ruyi smacked her lips, "Then her mother-in-law and husband didn't stop her? They just let her do it?"

"Don't talk about her mother-in-law's family!" Mother Zhong spat heavily, with disgust on her face.

Kang Kang was attracted by the noise and looked over. Mother Zhong quickly put on a smiling face and waved at her grandson, then continued, "The family she married into is a rotten one! There is no hardworking person in the family! If she didn't work, the whole family would have starved to death! When she was pregnant, she went to work in the fields as usual like us, carrying more than 100 kilograms of food by herself. The other people in the family didn't work at all, just waiting for her to finish her work and come back to cook for them."

"As soon as she died, her child, who was less than two years old, was sold for money. Within two years, her husband's sister was sold - what a sin!"

Zhong Ruyi and others were dumbfounded. How could there be such a person in the world?

"Mom, what happened next?" Zhong Ruyi asked.

later?

Mother Zhong didn't know what happened later. Not long after this happened, her own parents sold her to Father Zhong for five taels of silver, and then they had this family.

She was silent for a while and then said, "I don't know, but this kind of wicked person would have died a long time ago!"

The person who said this felt very comfortable. Zhong Ruyi nodded vigorously, "That's right! Such evil people won't live long. Maybe there is no one left in his family!"

Everyone talked for a while and then went out, so as not to disturb Huang Ying and the child's rest.

Zhong Ruyi went to the orchard to see how today's picking was going.

Before she got close, she saw Chen Dongzhi, shirtless, loading basket after basket of apples onto the carriage, with a little girl standing beside him looking at him with sharp eyes.

I always feel that this little girl looks a little familiar?

It seems like I've seen it somewhere before.

When I got closer, I heard the little girl say, "You are so shameless! You are not wearing any clothes in broad daylight!"

Zhong Ruyi was happy. Wasn't this the girl that Chen Dongzhi disliked because she smelled too much of perfume at the village banquet that day?

Why are you here again?

Chen Dongzhi was sweating from working so hard, he was so focused that he didn't notice someone was talking to him, but he could still see his wife standing in front of him.

"How's it going? Have you picked all the six thousand kilograms of food for Master Fang?" Zhong Ruyi asked as she groped around her body, trying to find a handkerchief to wipe the man's sweat, but unfortunately she didn't have the habit of carrying one with her.

"Not yet, we're almost there. Uncle Ji and his men are still picking them." Chen Dongzhi didn't care about the sweat on his body. He reached out and took the water bag handed to him and drank it down in one gulp.

His raised head and Adam's apple covered with sweat rose and fell as he swallowed, looking a little erotic.

Zhong Ruyi licked her lips and thought that she hadn't had sex for several days. How about having some sex at night?

Just as she was daydreaming, the little girl standing behind Chen Dongzhi suddenly snorted coldly and cursed in a loud voice, "Shame on you!"

Seeing Zhong Ruyi's gaze coming over, she said confidently, "You are a woman, staring at a naked man! Am I wrong to say you are shameless?"

Chen Dongzhi frowned at her, thinking that she was a little neurotic.

When his gaze turned to her, the little girl started to feel shy again, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she said coquettishly, "You! Why don't you put on your clothes? Don't let others take advantage of you for nothing!" Her tone of command made Chen Dongzhi confused. He thought that besides him and Zhong Ruyi, there were other people here, otherwise why would she speak to him, a stranger, like this?

Someone took advantage of you?

Zhong Ruyi pointed at herself, "Are you talking about me?"

As soon as the little girl saw her, her expression turned hostile again. "Didn't you ask who else you have? Is there anyone else here besides you, a shameless person?"

"Don't we still have you? Haven't you seen enough?" Zhong Ruyi asked her. Judging from the girl's behavior when she just walked over, it was obvious that she was pretending to be reserved. In fact, her eyes were glued to Chen Dongzhi's back and couldn't be moved away.

She believed that if looks could kill, she would have died dozens of times under this little girl's eyes.

"Don't slander me! Which eye of yours saw me looking at him? I'm not as shameless as you who just stares at a man's naked body!" The little girl asked angrily, frustrated.

Zhong Ruyi pointed at her own eyes and said, "I saw it all. Besides, what does it have to do with you whether I see it or not? Do you want to ask him if he is willing to let me see it?"

Chen Dongzhi's approach was to simply pull Zhong Ruyi away, completely ignoring the little girl who was screaming in anger under the tree.

"Who is this person?" Zhong Ruyi asked after he walked away.

"Don't bother with her if you don't know her." Chen Dongzhi didn't know such a person at all. He had been picking apples in the orchard all morning and only just now had time to load the baskets onto the carriage.

As they were talking, they met Grandma Ji and Ji Xiaoyu who came to deliver food. They were hired by her to prepare lunch for the pickers.

Ji Xiaoyu smiled sweetly and called "Aunt Ruyi, Uncle Dongzhi".

"Ruyi, have you eaten on the Winter Solstice? If not, take some from me." Grandma Ji wanted to take out two bamboo tubes of rice from the basket on her back and give them to them.

Zhong Ruyi waved her hand, "No, no, let's go back and eat. Grandma Ji, please take Xiaoyu over there. Uncle Ji and the others should be ready soon."

She also wanted Chen Dongzhi to go back and take a shower to wash off the sweat on his body, so that she could cook while he was taking a shower.

After saying goodbye to the grandparents and grandchildren, the two went home hand in hand.

"Go take a shower, then you can eat later."

Zhong Ruyi urged him and turned into the kitchen.

Since Huang Ying was in confinement after giving birth, she caught ten chickens from the orchard to nourish her body. Although Mother Zhong and Aunt Huang had already bought a dozen old hens from others and had been waiting for this day, more is better than nothing.

When she caught chickens, she caught two and took them home. She had eaten one chicken all day the day before yesterday. This morning, after cleaning and marinating the chicken, she went to see Huang Ying and Kang Kang. It was just the right time to cook it now.

When Chen Dongzhi came out of the shower, there was already fragrance wafting from the kitchen.

"What did you do?"

Zhong Ruyi asked him to eat a steamed bun first, "Soy sauce chicken, you have to wait a little longer, it won't be that fast."

Finally, the lid of the pot was opened, and the sauce was reduced over low heat. The whole chicken was soaked in the red soup, looking particularly tempting.

The two of them sat facing each other at the table. Zhong Ruyi took the lead in tearing off a chicken leg and said, "Try it and see if it tastes good."

The chicken was tender and juicy, with smooth and tender skin. The mouth was filled with abundant gravy, which was rich in aroma and paired with chopped pickled radish to relieve the greasiness. A chicken was quickly finished by two people.

"Delicious!" Chen Dongzhi gave a high evaluation, saying it was much more delicious than what he made the day before!

"If you like it, I'll make it for you next time!"
