Fortunate Wife

When the four people had walked closer, he placed his pole and baskets down to the side and curiously asked, "What's wrong? It can't be that the four of you got robbed when you went to get food for the piglets, right? It's so unpleasant to see your sullen faces."

Little Five hurriedly said, "We weren't robbed." He didn't understand what was going on between his older brothers and sister. After they had left home, Li Man had cried, then smiled and seemed very happy. On the way back, it had changed into not smiling or crying. He felt at a complete loss.

Li Yan stretched his hand out and pulled Little Five over. "Little Five, tell me what happened."

"It's nothing. I went out and happened to meet them, so we returned together," said Li Mo. In actually, he really wanted to know the truth too.

Li Yan believed that his oldest brother wouldn't do anything wrong, but he didn't believe the same of his fourth brother. He guessed that something must have happened before oldest brother met up with the other three. There was something really wrong with fourth brother and their wife's expressions...

"Is this wheat bran?" Li Mo looked at one of the large wicker baskets.

Li Yan said, "Well, we have piglets in our house now, right? So I bought some wheat bran from Zhao family."

Li Mo nodded. Second brother was as thoughtful as always. "Have you finished the work for Mudan's family?"

"En," Li Yan snorted. "There were guests at Uncle Shen's house today, so I'll go get my wages in a few days.

"That's good too." Li Mo didn't ask further questions. After entering his home, he put down the basket under the eaves.

Li Shu and Little Five returned to the eastern hut. Li Man felt thirsty, so she went into the kitchen to pour herself a cup of water. Li Yan picked up the baskets of wheat bran and went inside too.

Chapter 52 – Feelings

Using a dried gourd ladle, Li Man scooped out some water from the water jar . After she had gulped down several mouthfuls of cold water, her mind cleared up, and her mood had also calmed down .

Li Man didn't notice that Li Yan had put down his baskets and walked to her side .

"Are you treating that water like its wine?" Startled by his deep, low voice that sounded by her ear, Li Man dropped the ladle, and it almost fell to the ground .

Li Yan caught the falling ladle and put it down on the cooking range . Seemingly by chance, his movement caused Li Man to be caught between him and the cooking range . He deeply stared at her .

"You?" His actions caused Li Man to suddenly feel oppressed . She felt as if it had gotten harder to breath . In an instant, this anxious feeling quickly spread until it filled her heart

Watching her big, innocent eyes widening as she looked at him, Li Yan thought she looked unbearably cute . The corners of Li Yan's lips curved up, and a gentle smile was revealed . He took out something from inside his clothes and stretched his hand out towards Li Man .

As Li Man pulled her head back in fear, she felt him inserting something into her hair . She curiously stretched her hand up to feel out the item in her hair, but Li Yan caught her fingers in mid-air .

"It looks really good . " His gaze was very gentle as he looked at her, and his eyes were full of smiling intent .

Li Man tried her best to pull her hand out of his and fiercely glared at him . What had he put into her hair?
