Lin Haitao ultimately couldn't resist the temptation. How should I put it? In an era that could still be considered **, where people were shy and reserved, Yezhi's bold behavior opened up a new world for Lin Haitao, who was focused on repeatedly exploring the two positions.
The more harmonious their intimate moments became, the sweeter their relationship grew. Yezhi truly experienced what it meant to be "pampered and spoiled"!
"Xiao Lin, is that girl still sleeping?" Aunt Zhou shouted loudly. That girl, Yezhi, had been a bit unreasonable these past few days, always making Lin Haitao wait on her, even bringing her breakfast into the room.
Lin Haitao didn't expect Aunt Zhou to return so early. He dropped the bra he was handling and replied with a grunt.
Aunt Zhou set down her basket and felt that Lin Haitao, who had been carrying it for her, seemed strange. She stepped closer and felt embarrassed herself. After organizing her thoughts for a long time, she finally said earnestly, "Xiao Lin, let me share some heartfelt advice with you. When it comes to pampering a wife, there should be a limit. Our Yezhi is someone who gets more assertive the more she's spoiled!" It wasn't that she wanted to expose her daughter's shortcomings, but having a grown man squatting on the ground washing his wife's underwear... how does that look?
Meanwhile, Lin Haitao, who was doing this willingly, didn't expect to feel so awkward being caught in the act.
Aunt Zhou snatched the basin from him and instructed him to wake up Yezhi.
When Yezhi got up, she saw that Aunt Zhou's expression was off. Leaning softly against Xiaobinzi, she asked, "What do you think is wrong with Aunt? Who made her angry?"
Lin Haitao pointed at her and said, "Me!" Hadn't she just woken up? "Aunt~! Why are you mad at me?"
Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes at her. "Tell me what you've been doing these past few days." Yezhi tried to recall; she had been drunk for three days and had been too wild the last two nights. Basically, it seemed like... she had spent most of her time lying on the bed.
Thinking about how decadent it had been, she chuckled awkwardly and defended herself, "I finally shook off the 'old maid' label and started acting like a young wife, so I forgot myself and drank a little too much. Besides, if it weren't for Wednesday, Thursday, and Zhang Dou, who kept pouring drinks for me, I wouldn't have gotten that drunk!"
Lin Haitao chuckled out loud. Yezhi shot him a glare. So smug about knowing how desperate she was to get married!
Aunt Zhou couldn't hold back either and laughed while scolding, "You! With that slippery tongue of yours. Why isn't Lin Haitao like this? Tell me which bride acts like you—waiting for food to be served and clothes to be handed to her...!"
Yezhi said with excitement, "Aunt, I found a good husband, right? Look how much he cares for me!" Her smug demeanor left Aunt Zhou momentarily speechless.
"Ha ha~ Look how affectionate those two are!" the Village Uncle said as he entered, speaking to the two people behind him.
Upon seeing the two behind him, Lin Haitao's previously cheerful expression immediately fell, his eyes turning cold.
Yezhi glanced at the older man, who resembled Xiaobinzi somewhat. However, the old man's sharp gaze and high chin gave off an air of disdain, making her skip any internal conflict and shift her attention to the woman. The woman also bore a resemblance to Xiaobinzi but had more delicate and softer features, wearing a pure black wool coat that was rarely seen even in the city.
"Linzi!" the woman called lightly.
Lin Haitao opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
The man spoke sarcastically, "What, you don't even recognize your old man and your own sister anymore?"
Lin Haitao remained silent, pulling Yezhi along into the house. Yezhi held him back, saying, "Everyone's here now; out of humanitarianism, we can't just leave them outside. It's going to snow heavily soon!"
Lin Haitao's cold demeanor began to crack. Yezhi winked at him, "We should face them head-on; it's better to be polite first before any conflict!"
Lin Haitao chuckled, "Do you think this is a battle?"
Yezhi nodded seriously; she could tell that his scummy father was not someone easy to deal with, and a verbal spat was inevitable.
Upon seeing Kobayashi's Dad and his sister, Aunt Zhou felt inexplicably guilty. "In-law...!"
"Who’s your in-law?!" Lin Haitao's father retorted bluntly.
Lin Haitao laughed in anger, "Aunt, I have nothing to do with this person!"
"Linzi!" his sister called disapprovingly.
Aunt Zhou grew anxious as well; how could this child speak like that? Wasn't he just adding fuel to the fire?
Yezhi was also angry. Why was it that he had no problem with her and Xiaobinzi, but he couldn't treat Aunt Zhou like this? "Big Yellow, you didn't get a bone yesterday, so you can't guard the door properly? With your work attitude, don't even think about smelling meat today, tomorrow, or for the rest of the month."
Big Yellow jumped up and barked, "Woof woof! I was just lying here and got blamed. Is that fair?"
With no meat to eat, Big Yellow bared its teeth and barked fiercely at Kobayashi's Dad. Its fierce demeanor made Yezhi nod in satisfaction. No wonder it had hung out with Big Wolf; seeing Big Yellow think there might still be a chance for meat made it even more eager to perform!
Aunt Zhou shouted, "Big Yellow, go away!" She really didn't understand what these two kids were thinking.
Big Yellow dared not disobey Aunt Zhou's words and lay down, looking pitifully at Yezhi with its dog eyes.
Village Uncle was calming down the startled Kobayashi's Dad. "This dog won't bite!" Who would believe that? Everyone knew that the guard dogs in the countryside were the fiercest.
Aunt Zhou tried to please Lin Haitao's older sister. "Come on, let's go inside! We usually don't let Big Yellow in the house..."
Lin Haitao's older sister, Lin Haiping, broke free from Aunt Zhou's hand and frowned. "Don't pull me; I can walk by myself!" While saying this, she kept patting where Aunt Zhou had touched.
Aunt Zhou looked embarrassed. "I washed my hands; they're clean!"
Lin Haiping clearly didn't believe her. How could they still be so dirty after washing?
Lin Haitao scoffed and pulled Aunt Zhou closer, coldly saying, "Auntie, these hardworking hands are not dirty; it's people's hearts that are dirty!"
Kobayashi's Dad exploded in anger. "You ungrateful child!" As soon as the topic of dirty hearts came up, his dad got furious. What did this indicate? It indicated his guilt!
Lin Haitao ignored him and looked into the distance. "Is that all you came here to say? Then you can leave!"
"Linzi!" Lin Haiping's eyes turned red. How could her brother become so unfamiliar? They were blood relatives!
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense. Yezhi exhaled a breath of warm air into her palms; it was so cold! She felt like she was turning into a popsicle. "I say... let's go inside!"
Aunt Zhou, who had long wanted to mediate, said, "Come inside! It's warm in there!" Lin Haiping glanced at Lin Haitao and then stepped inside.
Village Uncle also readily invited Kobayashi's Dad, but Kobayashi's Dad stood stiffly in place, refusing to move.
Yezhi urged Xiaobinzi to go in first while she stepped forward, saying, "What good does it do for you to stand here acting tough?"
"You!"
"What do you mean 'you'? Just because you're old and braving the wind and snow, does that mean I'll let you in?" Yezhi's attitude left Village Uncle dumbfounded.
Initially, he was averse to his son marrying a village girl, but considering the tense relationship with his son, he decided to observe first. Now he felt he no longer needed to worry about it. "I won't let my son marry you! You might as well give up on that idea!"
Yezhi laughed heartily. "Your son doesn't even acknowledge you anymore; how could he still listen to you?"
Zhou Village Head scolded her sternly, "How can you speak to your elders like that?"
"Village Uncle, he's not even worthy of being my elder!"
Lin Haitao's father pointed at her angrily and shouted, "I am his father! His blood runs through my veins! If I say he can't marry, then he can't!"
Yezhi looked at him with amusement. "He also has his mother's blood running through him! Blood ties can bring people close together but can also drive them far apart. Isn't that exactly what you two are like? His sadness, his anger, his disdain for you...!"
Lin Haitao's father trembled all over, unsure if it was from the cold or from rage.
"Yezhi, that's enough!" Lin Haitao interrupted her.
Yezhi looked regretful. "I haven't finished scolding yet!" Lin Haitao twitched at the corners of his mouth. "That's not scolding; that's just exposing his flaws."
Meanwhile, outside the courtyard, Xiaofan, Wolf Child, and One Egg finally found an opportunity to enter.
Little Fan curiously looked at Lin Haitao's dad and said, "Uncle! You're shivering from the cold, why aren't you coming inside?" While speaking, she rubbed her small hands against Lin Haitao's dad's big hand. "Wow! It's so cold! Sister Yezi, hurry up and make some ginger soup!"
One Egg corrected her, "That's ginger soup!"
"Yes, ginger soup! Uncle, if you drink the ginger soup that Sister Yezi makes, you won't feel cold anymore. But the dishes we have tonight might not taste as good as usual!" At this, Little Fan's chubby face scrunched up.
One Egg gave her a light knock, saying, "What are you being all gloomy for, you little brat!"
"Sister Yezi used up all the ginger in the house last time she made ginger soup, so there’s no ginger left for stir-frying, and the flavor will be greatly reduced."
Lin Haitao looked at her and said, "One Egg, Little Fan really learned that from you."
"Forget it, Little Fan. One Egg, someone reported you for copyright infringement and is demanding compensation!"
One Egg made a distressed face and said painfully, "I'll pay with my meat!" After saying that, she shot a glance at Wolf Child, who raised a gray rabbit and shouted, "Ye, the rabbit meat needs to be spicy, and the rabbit legs need to be roasted...!" Yezhi was speechless; this girl only spoke more when it came to food; getting her to talk at other times was harder than climbing to the sky!
Village Uncle cheerfully asked, "So is there a portion for Grandpa Village Head?"
Little Fan grabbed Lin Haitao's dad with one hand and patted her little chest confidently while singing, "You have it, I have it, we all have it!" Yezhi looked up at the sky while Lin Haitao's dad couldn't help but twitch his mouth...
The people inside couldn't sit still upon hearing the laughter. Aunt Zhou pushed open the paper window and shouted, "What are you all doing standing in the yard? Come inside!"
