Li Hua simply stretched his arm over so that Little Five could be included into his hug.

Li Shu had been pushing his stone-filled cart. When he turned around the corner, he saw this scene.

His fourth brother had his hand half lowered and was looking at Li Man with a tender expression. His wife was half-leaning against Li Hua's chest and hugging his arm as she softly cried. Looking down, LittleFGive was hugging Li Hua's waist and also crying loudly.

Li Shu hurriedly stopped his cart and came forwarded to ask, "Hey, what happened?"

Seeing his older brother, Li Hua was also a bit stunned. Before he could answer, Li Man had already let him go and hastily wiped her eyes. She waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I just got dust in my eyes."

Li Shu looked at Li Hua in confusion. Li Hua awkwardly laughed and said, "She said that she got dust in her eyes."

Who were they trying to fool with such a weak excuse? Li Shu looked at Little Five and asked, "Little Five, what happened?"

Little Five shook his head while rubbing his eyes. He didn't know what had happened either. Older sister had started crying, so he started crying too.

"Let's go get the wild plants for the piglets." Li Man hurriedly pulled Li Hua and Little Five forward to continue walking. She knew that Li Shu had a short-temper. He had hit Xing-niang this morning just because Little Five had blabbed to him. Because of that argument, they had ended up going all the way to the village head's house. What if Li Shu cut down that tree and hit that woman if she told him the truth? The truth was simply that the tree and that woman had reminded her of that miserable day?

"Third brother, you can go back first. We'll come back after gathering some wild plants for the piglets." Li Hua tossed down these words and followed after Li Man.

Li Shu gloomy scratched his head in puzzlement. That rotten brat. He had even tried to fool his older brother. He didn't believe that Li Man had been crying because of dust. But, why would his wife be crying?

Chapter 48 – Styling hair

After sprinting down a path and seeing that Li Shu was no longer in sight, Li Man finally stopped . Pressing her hand against her chest, she gasped for breath . Little Five was also taking big gulps of air to catch his breath .

Li Hua let out a chuckle when he saw that Li Man looked like a frightened and helpless baby rabbit . His headscarf had also been loosened when he had been dragged along during her frantic dash, and he cut a sorry looking figure too .

As Li Hua took down the headscarf, he looked at her with a slight smile and asked, "Are you okay now?"

Li Man bit her bottom lip in embarrassment . Soon after, she walked to his side, took the headscarf from him, and gestured at him . "Crouch down . I'll help you with putting it back on . "

Seeing Li Hua was only staring at her blankly without moving, Li Man tugged him down by the arm . After that, she gently gathered up his inky black hair and tucked most of it underneath the headscarf . The rest of his hair was scatter over his shoulders like a waterfall .

"Your hair is really good . It's so black and lustrous . " At the end, Li Man admiringly looked at his hair and even used her fingers to comb his hair a bit .

Li Hua straightened himself . Seeing her glittering eyes, his heart felt quite warm and happy . Since ancient times, women only styled the hair of men they deeply loved . It was just like how his mother had always brushed and styled his father's hair .
