Aunt Lu rolled her eyes, "Can you use that pig brain of yours? When she was crying, you should have held her and comforted her.
Do I need to teach you this? You have no brains!"
This son has been foolishly in love for so many years.
But he never took any action, his brain seemed to be missing a screw.
If she hadn't brought it up this time, this idiot wouldn't have known to take the next step.
His partner was snatched away, and only then did he realize he should be anxious.
Lu Jing shook his head, "How can that be? It's too abrupt."
Aunt Lu helplessly twitched the corner of her mouth, "Get lost, don't be an eyesore in front of me. Looking at you makes me feel suffocated."
Old Father Lu, however, smiled, "Jing Wa, don't listen to your mother. Dad will impart some experience to you."
Aunt Lu immediately twisted Old Father Lu's ear, "What kind of experience are you spouting nonsense? Don't corrupt our son! Xiao Xi is an intellectual; everything needs to be done slowly and carefully.
If you're too direct, you'll scare her and make our family seem improper!"
Old Father Lu pleaded, "Ouch! Ouch! Old woman, let go! Let go! I know, I won't impart any experience, I won't."
Aunt Lu finally let go and kicked him, "Go heat the bath water."
"Yes, ma'am!"
Old Father Lu immediately ran off.
Lu Jing felt he couldn't bear to watch. His father, being so henpecked, truly lacked marital authority!
Xia Xi is well-behaved and delicate; she definitely won't be as violent as his mother.
His future days will surely be filled with closeness and sweet affection.
Thinking about it made him feel delighted, and he turned back into the house.
They had only been apart for a moment, and he already missed her, missed her terribly.
But he had something to do tomorrow and had to go to the county town for business.
..
Xia Xi and Lu Jing went in and out together, and the entire production brigade knew they were a couple.
Lin Xiangdong, who had been kicked into the mud by Lu Jing that day, developed a fever again.
He burned so badly he lost consciousness.
Xu Shanshan was furious.
How could she tolerate someone bullying her man!
So Xu Shanshan found an opportunity and cornered Xia Xi.
After a heavy rain, the weather had cooled down considerably.
But Xia Xi, as usual, went to the field to bring water to her several older brothers.
Then, on her way back, she was intercepted by Xu Shanshan.
Xu Shanshan held a long wooden stick, looking like she was going to teach Xia Xi a lesson.
Xia Xi stared at Xu Shanshan, "A good dog doesn't block the way."
Xu Shanshan's face was contorted with ferocity, "Xia Xi, you took the money but didn't do the job. Give it back! If you don't return it, I'll report your father to the commune for accepting bribes!"
Xia Xi calmly watched Xu Shanshan, "Evidence? You need evidence to speak. Where is the evidence that my father accepted bribes?
When and where did you give my father anything? You just open your mouth and say my father accepted bribes. I think you're old and your butt is loose, farting loudly."
Xu Shanshan's features instantly twisted with anger, and she raised the wooden stick in her hand to hit Xia Xi.
Xia Xi skillfully dodged and grabbed the end of the stick, pulling hard!
Xu Shanshan was pulled off balance and fell directly.
Xu Shanshan looked at the delicate Xia Xi in shock.
How could she be so strong!
Xu Shanshan lay on the ground, glaring resentfully at Xia Xi, wanting to jump up and pull Xia Xi's hair.
But Xia Xi, with great agility, rode on top of her and grabbed her thick braided pigtail from behind, "I'll beat you, you thing that looks neither human nor ghost.
My father works tirelessly from dawn till dusk to ensure the commune members are fed. He won't tolerate you slandering him here! I'll beat you, you foul-mouthed creature."
Xu Shanshan cried out in pain as she was beaten.
"Xia Xi, you bitch! You... want to die... Ah..."
Xia Xi pinched her buttocks and thighs again.
The pain made Xu Shanshan tremble, but her mouth was still unforgiving.
The fiercer she cried out, the harder Xia Xi pinched.
Finally...
Xu Shanshan cried and begged for mercy, "I won't say it anymore, stop pinching, it hurts so much, it hurts so much!"
Xia Xi had no intention of stopping. She tore open Xu Shanshan's white shirt, revealing half of her chest.
Xu Shanshan covered her chest in horror, "Xia Xi, you've gone far enough!"
Even though she covered it quickly.
Xia Xi still saw it.
There were patches of hickeys on her fair skin.
Xia Xi deliberately asked, "What's that on your neck?"
Xu Shanshan instantly panicked, her eyes darting around, not daring to meet Xia Xi's gaze, "I scratched myself, what does it have to do with you? Get lost!"
The original Xia Xi would definitely not have recognized it.
But Xia Xi, who had been reborn, recognized it!
Those were hickeys!
In her previous life, that bastard Lu Jing loved to leave them on her.
As soon as the marks faded, he would start working.
Every part of her body, everywhere, he would leave his mark.
He was a rough man with extreme possessiveness.
Even when she cried and begged him, he wouldn't show any mercy.
This was also one of the reasons she hated him in her previous life; she felt he was a beast! He completely disregarded her feelings and only indulged his animalistic desires.
Xia Xi not only didn't leave but also pulled Xu Shanshan's hand away, "Why are you blocking? Do I look like I'm interested in your meager flesh!"
Xu Shanshan glared at Xia Xi with shame and anger, "Xia Xi, shut up! Get away from me!"
Xia Xi not only didn't shut up or move away but also leaned in and said, "You look so guilty. Those aren't mosquito bites, are they?
Ah! Could it be from some wild man? Xu Shanshan, you have no shame, have you committed fornication?"
Xu Shanshan thought Xia Xi didn't know and was caught off guard by her guess, she panicked, "What nonsense are you talking about."
She pushed Xia Xi away, clutched her chest, and ran off.
Xia Xi watched her retreating back and shouted, "Xu Shanshan, if you go around spreading rumors, I'll go around spreading rumors too, saying you committed adultery.
If you get reported, you'll be sent down! If Hu Lili finds out, will she report you?"
"Ah! Xia Xi, what do you want! What nonsense are you spouting!"
"So you know it doesn't feel good, then why did you spread rumors and wrong my father! I'm telling you, Xu Shanshan, if you dare to say one wrong word, I'll say a hundred.
I'll also tell Hu Lili; she hates you so much, she'd probably wish you dead!"
Xia Xi crossed her arms, tilted her chin slightly, and said with a smug look.
Xu Shanshan trembled all over with anger, "I didn't! I didn't! I apologize, I apologize to you, is that not enough?"
Xia Xi then waved her hand with satisfaction, "I don't forgive you, but I know who put that thing on your neck. It must be Lin Xiangdong, right?"
"No!"
Xu Shanshan was flustered.
Xia Xi pouted, "Who cares about that trash. Don't worry, I won't fight you for him. I wish you both a happy union and many children."
After saying that, she waved her hand and walked away with light steps.
Xu Shanshan was driven mad!
Bitch! Bitch!
She could only curse in her heart.
This Xia Xi usually pretended to be weak, not even working in the fields, but she had so much strength!
She was no match for her at all. Now, she tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice!
Xu Shanshan, angry and wronged, went to find Lin Xiangdong.
Lin Xiangdong was still comatose at this time.
Xu Shanshan touched him and found he had a fever again. She immediately went to get water to cool him down.
As she wrung out the towel, she heard Lin Xiangdong muttering something.
She leaned closer to listen, "Xia Xi... Xia Xi..."
Hearing him call Xia Xi's name.
She was so angry she slapped him across the face.
Lin Xiangdong woke up abruptly. When he opened his eyes and saw Xu Shanshan, he reached out with a long arm, pulled her into his embrace, and flipped over, pressing down on her.
