"elder brother!"
Yun Wu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yun Qingshan up, while Tong Hui also held Yun Qingshan with a helpless look.
"No, it's okay..."
Yun Qingshan smiled awkwardly, coughed twice, and sat quietly in the chair.
"I was just a little scared. I've never even met the highest-ranking official in the city. When I heard he was the chief, I was a little confused."
"No wonder... Tong Fuguo and Tong Xiaoyun suddenly wanted to ruin Xingzhou's Xiaowu's affair. It turns out they were after Xingzhou's family background."
Tong Hui nodded in understanding. She had found it strange at first. No matter how good Xu Xingzhou was, he was still a villager, and Tong Xiaoyun looked down on people from the countryside the most.
She wished she could marry into a rich family in the city, so how could she go to all the trouble to marry someone from the village?It turned out to be because of Xu Xingzhou’s family background.
"But now she is asking for trouble. Today, she and Jiang Cheng had that incident in front of everyone. Tong Fuguo has no choice. Everyone thinks that they will be a couple."
Tong Hui said that she was not happy about the fact that Tong Xiaoyun suffered the consequences of her own actions, but she just felt relieved. This was the retribution she deserved.
In her previous life, she was simple-minded and stupid. She believed Tong Xiaoyun and married Jiang Cheng. As a result, she was abused and humiliated by him. Jiang Cheng himself went out to fool around after getting married.
The person who was going to marry Jiang Cheng in this life became Tong Xiaoyun. Didn't she want to marry a city person? Jiang Cheng was a city person, and it also fulfilled her wish.
"However, Tong Fuguo is a village chief and his salary is not that high. But after giving a sum of money to my father, he was able to take out a large sum of money yesterday to bribe Huihui and me."
Yun Qingshan said hesitantly, "Where did Tong Fuguo's money come from?" This is a big question.
"I hope the people above can find him as soon as possible. Otherwise, his pockets are bulging with money. I don't know if he has embezzled the money of the common people."
Yun Qingshan and Tong Hui chatted for a few more words and then left. Now that his elder brother and sister-in-law were gone, Xu Xingzhou took Yun Wu in his arms and sat down, rubbing her cheek affectionately.
"Luckily you were careful enough to put the shovel aside to protect yourself. I also came back early today. Otherwise, if something happened to you..."
Xu Xingzhou frowned slightly and said, feeling scared just thinking about it, he couldn't help but hold Yun Wu's waist tighter, pressing her to sit on his lap and refusing to let go.
Yun Wu originally wanted to make a joke to ease Xu Xingzhou's mood, but suddenly she felt that Xu Xingzhou's hands around her waist were still trembling slightly.
Xu Xingzhou was really scared.
He rested his chin on Yun Wu's shoulder and neck, and slowly tightened his grip on her, just enough not to be too heavy to strangle her.
"sorry."
Xu Xingzhou's voice was low. He couldn't believe what would happen if Tong Xiaoyun and Jiang Cheng succeeded.
The people in the village have traditional ideas. Even if it is not Yun Wu's fault, everyone will blame her. She is weak and soft-hearted, and she will definitely be sad and upset because of this matter.
Fortunately, fortunately, nothing happened.
"No one expected this. Don't blame yourself. I'm fine now."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and gentle. She didn't know what to do to comfort Xu Xingzhou, so she just stretched out her arms and climbed onto his strong arms.
Then she placed a light kiss on the side of his face.
Xu Xingzhou was almost dizzy with the sweet and soft young wife.
He first held her cheek and kissed her, then said in a low voice:
"I really... like you so much."
"What did you say?"
Yun Wu asked. Xu Xingzhou's voice was a little soft just now, and she had just recovered from the kiss, so she couldn't hear clearly.
Xu Xingzhou raised his hand awkwardly and scratched his very short hair. Even a grown man felt a little embarrassed.
His wheat-colored cheeks seemed to be stained with a light pink color as he looked at Yun Wu's bright eyes that were waiting for his answer.
Xu Xingzhou gritted his teeth, increased his volume and said carelessly:
"I mean...I really like you!"
Yun Wu was stunned at first, and then her cheeks turned even redder.
Xu Xingzhou was a little shy at first, but he seemed to be in a very good mood after he finished speaking. His pair of eyes, which used to be full of hostility, turned gently towards Yun Wu.
"Awu, I know that most people get married not because they like each other, but because they need to live together. But when I mentioned marriage to you, I didn't just want to find a wife to live with."
Xu Xingzhou spoke seriously. Years of military life had endowed him with a resolute temperament. Now, he looked at Yun Wu and spoke in an especially serious manner.
"I want to treat you well, not because you are beautiful. I don't know why. Maybe it is fate. I just like you very much."
"Why, why are you suddenly saying this..."
Yun Wu blushed and spoke in a hesitant voice. In her impression, Xu Xingzhou sometimes spoke directly.
As a result, I was talking to her seriously today, and we were talking about love matters.
"Because I originally thought that if you just wanted to live together, it would be okay. At least you are still willing to be my wife, but now..."
Xu Xingzhou's eyes darkened, and his look seemed a little aggrieved and resentful.
"I hope you like me, too."
Xu Xingzhou is just greedy. He wants Yun Wu's body as well as her heart.
He originally comforted himself by saying that most couples nowadays are just getting together, and at least he and Yun Wu had a good relationship, but he still couldn't stop feeling sad.
"How do you know there isn't one?"
Yun Wu's soft voice came, and Xu Xingzhou looked at her in surprise.
Yun Wu originally thought that they were just going to live together, and she was even prepared to do housework diligently and live a well-behaved life after marrying Xu Xingzhou.
Because these days, in every household in the village, no matter whether the women are busy or not or have jobs, it is the women who do the housework and take care of all the household chores. Yun Wu knows that this is wrong, but this is something she cannot change.
But Xu Xingzhou is different from others. After spending time with him day and night, she can know what kind of person he is.
"I like you too."
Yun Wu has a soft personality and is not used to speaking directly, but she can still say such words with a blushing face and stammering.
If she didn't like Xu Xingzhou, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to kiss him. If they were just treating each other with respect, she wouldn't have had more intimate behavior with him beyond the necessary contact between husband and wife.
Xu Xingzhou felt that his heart was sweeter than eating honey. Looking at his young wife who timidly revealed her feelings, he really wanted to...
But it's still daytime.
"Can I discuss something with you?"
Yun Wu suddenly asked, her cheeks flushed, her two slender arms still around Xu Xingzhou's shoulders and neck.
"That is, can you... not do this every night..."
"What?"
Xu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows, and Yun Wu knew that he was pretending not to know.
But she still leaned on his strong shoulders and whispered a few words into his ear.
Xu Xingzhou looked at her with great resentment, but still nodded honestly. This time it was not "fake honesty", he was mainly afraid of tiring his wife.
Moreover, although he can't do it every day, can't he just treat one time as several times?
