w.a.n.g Ergou, who was slowly walking away, couldn"t help but shiver when he heard this. He died too early, so his mother had always been in charge of him.

However, the way Old Mother mused was really annoying.

Arriving at the Xiao family"s residence, w.a.n.g Ergou saw Luo Manman holding a bowl of brown rice and feeding the chickens in the courtyard.

No matter where he went, his stubborn nature wouldn"t change. Whenever he saw a pretty girl, he would stare at her without blinking.

To be honest, Xiao Yiming was really lucky, the money this daughter-in-law bought was worth it.

He didn"t know what kind of raising wife Xiao Yiming had, but in just a few months, he had become much richer.

His swarthy black face was now very white and tender. Although Luo Manman was wearing coa.r.s.e clothes that were wrapped around his body, there was everything that he should have.

Luo Manman sprinkled the last of the brown rice grains in her bowl as she prepared to enter the house.

In the air, she felt a pair of eyes that harbored ill intentions staring at her. She suddenly turned around and saw that w.a.n.g Ergou was staring at her back without even drooling.

"What are you doing sneaking around here?" With a darkened face, Luo Manman quickly returned to his room.

w.a.n.g Ergou hurriedly ran in from outside the fenced yard: "Hey, Xiao Family Wife, why did you run away the moment you saw me. Is this how you treat your customers?"

Seeing that he had caught up, Luo Manman was still afraid of what happened that morning. She immediately closed the wooden door, and before she could close it, she saw two rough hands reaching over.

"Ah …" Luo Manman, you wicked woman. " The wooden door closed and caught both his hands.

Luo Manman"s face darkened, and said snappily: "Scram, we don"t welcome you here."

"I"m here to buy something, and you don"t welcome me? With regards to the vegetable patch this morning, even if I have offended you, you as an adult shouldn"t think too highly of me. Hehe, the w.a.n.g Ergou was busy trying to please him.

"Others are fine, but I won"t sell you. Scram …" Luo Manman said fiercely.

"We"re all in the same village, so you don"t have to worry about it. In the future, we"ll meet again every day in the village." The w.a.n.g Ergou said with his crooked teeth.

"I"ll say it one last time. Scram, if you don"t scram, don"t blame me for being impolite." Seeing that his somewhat fat body was still trying to squeeze inside, Luo Manman hurriedly closed the wooden door.

"Ah …" Save me, Xiao Family Wife is going to kill people, Xiao Yiming, come out and help us, save Xiao Niang! " , who was cooking in the kitchen, was successfully shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Manman, what are you doing?" When the Xiao Niang arrived, Luo Manman abruptly let go, but the w.a.n.g Ergou maintained his previous strength and unsteadily fell into the house. He sat on the ground in a very indecent posture.

"Aunt, am I not joking with w.a.n.g Ergou?" Luo Manman gritted his teeth from w.a.n.g Ergou and explained in a low voice when he looked towards Xiao Niang.

The expression was vivid and changed very quickly.

Xiao Niang also did not have a good impression of w.a.n.g Ergou. Seeing him fall to the ground in a sorry state, he was too lazy to support him, "w.a.n.g Ergou, what"s the matter?"

"Um, Xiao Niang, I"m here to buy that thing that can turn skin white, what"s its name?"

"whitening mud, you are a man, why would you buy things that a woman would do?"

"Aunty, do you even need to ask? You must have bought it to please a certain girl. Which family"s girl is blind and is about to be taken care of by your pig?" Luo Manman raised her eyebrows and ridiculed, deliberately saying the last few words seriously.

"Xiao Family Wife, what did you say? "Is this how you treat your guests?" w.a.n.g Ergou was annoyed, he did not have the advantage yet? This hat can"t be b.u.t.toned up.

"This is really unfortunate. The thing you wanted has just been sold out. Please take your time and leave."

"About that, Manman, didn"t auntie see that you just made a dozen cans this afternoon?" "Isn"t it just starting a business here? Why don"t you just sell it?"

Seeing her standing still in her original position, the Xiao Niang did not understand what she meant. "How many jars do you want for 35 liters of paper?"

"Hehe, auntie, you"re still the most straightforward one. Bring me three jars, do you think it"s a hundred letters?"

"Alright, just you wait. "Auntie will go get it now." Xiao Niang happily went back to his room and brought out three cans of fresh whitening mud. This time, it was a hundred gold coins, it was practically a week"s worth of income, and it was from her daughter-in-law who was smart enough to concoct such a good item.

Xiao Niang did not forget to shout after receiving the money, "Ergou, you can use it again."

This Xiao Niang also knows how to do business, Luo Manman thought.

At this time, Xiao Yiming came over from the front yard, "Who came? I listened to a lot from this side. "

"It"s that Ergou who bought the whitening mud." Xiao Niang laughed. He weighed the whole bunch of copper coins in his hand. It was a good feeling to be able to earn money at home.

"This Ergou-zi is probably going to bring disaster to good women again." Xiao Yiming shook his head and sighed, then asked: "Mother, is dinner ready?"

"It"s done. You must be hungry. Come, let"s go eat." After saying that, he saw Luo Manman who was stunned, and could not help but pull on her sleeves: "Manman, what are you daydreaming for? It"s time for dinner. "

Luo Manman then acted as if she had just awoken from a dream, and let out a soft "oh".

w.a.n.g Ergou walked home happily on his little donkey while holding a cloth bag containing three jars of tomato paste.

When w.a.n.g Ergou returned home and brought the little donkey to the gra.s.s shed, he saw his old mother waiting for him there. When she saw him, she raised her eyebrows and roared:

"d.a.m.n brat, you haven"t seen anyone all day, where have you been all day?" Ah? Do you still have a mother in your eyes, huh?

Are you trying to p.i.s.s me off? Do you know anyone in the village like you? Look at how Xiao Niang dragged her son up by herself, how can her child be so filial and filial, how can my life be so bitter … "

Aunt w.a.n.g did not forget to take a big broom and sweep it at w.a.n.g Ergou"s feet as she spoke, as if she did not want him to enter.

"Mother, please quell your anger. Am I not going to make a wife for you?" Although the w.a.n.g Ergou"s body was fat, his movements were nimble.

Like a clown, he jumped left and right, but was not swept away by the broom.

From the looks of it, he had already mastered this move to perfection.

"What?" "You mean you want to get married?" Aunt w.a.n.g gasped for breath as she threw the broom in her hand to the side. She went up to w.a.n.g Ergou and lifted his collar and said excitedly.

That"s right, he was already thirty years old and hadn"t even gotten married yet. His old mother had been extremely anxious since a long time ago, and seeing him start to get serious, how could she not be excited?

"Yes, mother, I have already thought this through. I want to marry a wife and give birth to a child. I will properly honor my mother, and I will no longer be like before, free from work." w.a.n.g Ergou"s words were serious, but hearing it caused a large portion of Aunt w.a.n.g"s anger to dissipate:

"It"s good that you"re enlightened, it"s good that you"re enlightened. When will you become as sensible as Xiao Yiming?

In the entire village, only the Xiao and w.a.n.g Ergou families were orphans and widows, no wonder Aunt w.a.n.g compared him to Xiao Yiming all the time.

"Pei pei pei, what do you mean by "not dying"? Mother is still waiting for her son to honor you and give you happiness!" Heh heh, mother, isn"t my son learning from Yu Ming? Didn"t you see that I"ve been restraining myself quite a bit during this period of time? "

w.a.n.g Ergou hurriedly supported Aunt w.a.n.g with his doggy legs as he comforted her with his big hands. "Don"t be angry, Mother.

"You only know how to eat and do nothing in a day. Now that the food is ready, go eat in the house."

"Sigh." w.a.n.g Ergou"s straightforward response had broken his mother"s heart for the past few years. When he thought of the flash of a black face, he grinned and laughed.

He really wanted to take a wife, probably because of Xiao Yiming"s influence.

After finishing dinner, Luo Manman washed her face and carried the tomato paste back to her room. Xiao Niang had gotten used to it.

After using it for a period of time, she realized that her skin had recovered quite a bit. People would praise her whenever she went out.

She, a middle-aged woman, would sometimes visit the village and sell off her wife"s whitening mud.

It could be considered a lot, but it was still far from five taels of silver. Right now, the Qiu Family"s debt day was approaching, and Xiao Niang was feeling anxious.

That night, Xiao Yiming went to wash up by the stream as usual. Luo Manman had just finished showering, and there were still traces of water on the floor. There was even a bath water in the bucket.

Luo Manman was dressed in an old set of clothes and sat on the pit in a daze.

He had just finished his shower, and the air was filled with a sweet fragrance. From the way Xiao Yiming entered the room, he could see that his wife was like a lute that was partially covering her face.

Her hair hung down to her chest like a waterfall, and as she breathed, her chest moved up and down. It was a temptation, as if something was floating in the air.

Luo Manman stared at her wife"s figure in a trance. Her eyes started to burn, and her breathing started to become rapid.

"When did you come in? Why are you not saying anything?" Luo Manman turned her head and saw Xiao Yiming"s tall and straight figure, and was shocked.

"Cough cough, I just came back. My wife, why aren"t you asleep yet? Were you waiting for me? " He turned and opened the closet and found a thin old garment to put on.

"Stupid beauty, who"s waiting for you?" Luo Manman snorted, the corners of her mouth raised, as she lay down on the bed angrily.

When he peeked his head out of the bed, he saw Xiao Yiming taking out the bucket and pouring it out. All he heard was the sound of water splashing outside.

Moments later, Xiao Yiming returned, and he was already fast asleep.

That night, as Xiao Yiming laid on the kang, it was difficult for him to sleep. Seeing that someone was sleeping soundly beside him, his heart started to tense up.

He reached out his hands to hug his wife, then his hands stiffened in midair before withdrawing. He still didn"t dare to take the first step.

After an unknown amount of time, just as he was about to go to sleep, he saw a bolt of lightning suddenly flash by the window, waking up the dark night as if it were day.

Immediately after, he heard the rumbling of thunder, Xiao Yiming subconsciously looked towards Luo Manman"s direction, only to see him shrinking like a cat.
