  Chapter 110: Good or Bad     “Oh, why don't we just ask her when she goes back to her parents' house?  If her father-in-law doesn't give it to us, we can have her pay for it.”   Ying Sisi pushed the door open. “I pay?  Do I look like a sucker?”   Li Yuwei's eyes lit up.  She went back home on her first day of marriage.  Did she get beaten up?   She took a closer look.  Ying Sisi had dark circles under her eyes.   She definitely didn't sleep well last night.   Haha.   I told you, she's not having a good time being married to Qin Yanci.   “Why are you back today?” Li Junlu said in surprise.   Song Hanmei said with a look of anticipation. “She didn't serve her in-laws well, so she was chased back home. The Qin family is generally well-educated.  It is said that their ancestors once produced a champion.  You're a girl who can't read or write, and you're from the countryside.  You're destined to ...

Chapter 30: Making Layered Shoe Soles     Chen Fan and Jiang Lili returned to the Educated Youth Dormitory together after the meal ended with everyone feeling warm and tipsy.   As they walked on the road, they could still faintly hear people talking on both sides.   Chen Fan glanced in that direction, but the trees blocked his view, so he couldn't see what was happening, so he asked, "Is there any farm work today?"   Jiang Lili also glanced over there, thought for a moment, and said, "They should be digging for soft-shelled turtles."   Chen Fan "..."   Then he couldn't help but chuckle, "They're quick to act."    I wonder if there will be any soft-shelled turtles left in the fish pond after today.   The corners of Jiang Lili's mouth curled up slightly, but she didn't speak. Actually, if Captain Yang hadn't called her over today, she would have gone to dig for soft-shelled turtles, but not in those big ponds, but in the sma...

Chapter 29: Sharing Happiness Is Better Than Enjoying It Alone     After everyone was seated, Captain Yang looked at Jiang Lili and Chen Fan, frowned slightly, and turned his eyes, then turned his head and shouted into the room, "Lan Ying, come out and keep Xiao Jiang company."   Then he smiled at Chen Fan, "You'll have to squeeze a bit with Old Huang."   Chen Fan took his bowl and stood up, smiling, "It's an honor to learn from Keeper Huang."   Keeper Huang smiled so widely that his back teeth could be seen, "He is a scholar after all, he knows how to talk."   At this time, Aunt Yang also came out and sat down next to Jiang Lili, talking to her in a low voice.   The saying that rural women don't sit at the table also depends on the situation.   Usually, when there are no guests, of course the family eats together, and women and children all sit at the table. Only when guests come do they need to avoid it.   But it also depends on wha...

Enjoy Reading!!! 5/5    Chapter 109: Cuteness   Ying Sisi took the food out of the lunch box and put the pastries on a plate.  “Mom bought these specially for you.  Try them.”   Qin Yanci glanced at them.  “I don't like them.  You eat them.”   Sisi picked up a mung bean cake and took a bite. It was sweet and soft. She held it up to his mouth. “It's delicious.  Try it, A-Ci~~”  She dragged out the last syllable and shook his arm coquettishly.   Qin Yanci listened to her soft, gentle voice and looked at the half-eaten pastry she had bitten. His mouth went dry. “I'll…wait a bit.  I want to do some things with you back in the room.”   Ying Sisi was stunned. She loosened her hand and the pastry fell to the table.  She blurted out, “Aren't you t...

Her head ached, her throat ached, and her body ached.   There was an arm on her waist, heavy as a thousand pounds.   “Wife, are you awake?”   Ying Sisi silently pulled the blanket over her head, recalling last night's absurdity. She was too embarrassed to look up. She mumbled, “Why aren't you getting up yet?”   “I don't want to get up.”   Ying Sisi: “…You should get up. I'm so tired today. I probably won't be able to cook for you. You'll have to cook for me.”   “I don't cook well. I'll buy something for you.”   “That's fine.”   Qin Yanci got up.   Ying Sisi waited for a long time, but she didn't hear the door close. She looked back. ...

It's getting late.  Go back to rest with Sisi.”  He probably can't wait to hold his wife anymore.   I told her not to let the children stay for dinner.   She wouldn't listen.   Now he's calmed down.   “Wife, are you full?” Qin Yanci asked.   Ying Sisi: "..."  Wife, wife, wife.  What is this, at this time, you're trying to make me an enemy?   But it's good.   He's completely on my side.  My mother-in-law and this scheming sister-in-law would be afraid of her.   She nodded obediently. “I'm full. Let's go...

Her gaze fell on Sisi. She smiled. “Sisi, are you looking forward to working?”   “I'm not looking forward to it. A-Ci said he'll support me.” Sisi used Qin Yanci as a shield.   “…Women have to support themselves. As women in the new era, we have to rely on ourselves.” Mother Qin said earnestly.   “I can't read or write.  I can't support myself. I can only rely on your son.” Sisi blinked innocently.  “Do you think I'm lazy?  I'm not lazy.  Don't worry.  A-Ci will handle things outside, and I'll handle things inside.  I will definitely not let him worry about things at home.”   Mother Qin: "..." ~~~~~   Mother Qin wouldn't give up. At the dinner table, she took the opportunity to...

Even in all of East City, she could be ranked among the best.  Yanci is really lucky.”   “What luck?  I heard that Yanci is going to take the college entrance exam.  How can he have time to study now?”   “That's true. If it were my husband, he'd be reluctant to get out of bed for his whole life.”   “Haha…”   A group of women laughed.   Ying Sisi greeted them as she walked by.  “Good evening, aunties.”   “Oh, good evening.”   “Are you already doing house...

Qin Yanci isn't…you know.”   “What do you mean?” Ying Sisi didn't understand.   Li Yuwei wouldn't allow Sisi to be ignorant of the ways of men and women. She explained, “It's like, after he kisses you, there are other things… That's what a real husband and wife are. You'll see tonight. He can only make you drool.”   Ying Sisi's face flushed.  Where did Li Yuwei learn so much? “It seems you're quite experienced.  There was someone else before Feng Shuangxi, right?”  Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain what I saw in the bamboo f...

I got up early today. I'm tired. Get out of here quickly and let me rest.”   “Oh, oh, oh. You're tired. Or are you missing your wife?”   “Get out! Otherwise, when you get married, I'll make things difficult for you.” Qin Yanci said. He turned cold quickly. Everyone was afraid and ran out in a swarm. He cl...

After all the performances were finished, she and Qin Yanci were arranged to toast at each table.   After a round, the wedding banquet was almost over.  Relatives who were in a hurry had left.   Li Junlu was also planning to go home.  He told her,  “Sisi, your aunt and I are leaving.  Be good at your in-laws' place. Be diligent.  Don't be willful, okay?”   Ying Sisi's heart turned cold.   As a father, he didn't think of being a strong backing for his daughter. He only cared about using his daughter to please her in-laws.   If he ever met in-laws who w...
