Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

"Brother Ze, what's the situation between you and sister-in-law? If you are really interested in sister-in-law, I will definitely stand on your side."

Zhao Ze and Shuanzi left Shi Yan's courtyard. Shuanzi hesitated for a long time and was unwilling to leave, so he simply followed Zhao Ze and went straight into his house.

"What did you say? What's interesting?"

Zhao Ze originally planned to go back to the house to rest for a while and then go to the woodshed to look for something later, but he didn't expect Shuanzi to come like this.

"Brother Ze, please stop pretending with me. We are brothers and grew up together. If you didn't have any feelings for my sister-in-law, would you be so active in helping her out?"

"Besides, in my opinion, brother and sister-in-law are really a perfect match, both in appearance and personality. When brother asked me to call you sister-in-law, what I thought in my heart was that you are my brother, so the person you asked me to call sister-in-law is my sister-in-law."

Every word Shuanzi said seemed to hit Zhao Ze's heart. He obviously wanted to help his sister-in-law more because they were neighbors, but his sister-in-law was so weak and helpless. As a man, how could he bear to see her suffer.

Zhao Ze wanted to convince himself that he definitely had no other thoughts, but the more he thought about it, the more confused his mind became. He lay down on the bed in annoyance and covered his head with the quilt. A muffled voice came from under the quilt:

"Shuanzi, you go back first. I want to take a rest for a while. Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or you might ruin your sister-in-law's reputation."

"Okay, brother, if you still don't believe me, I will definitely keep my mouth shut. I'm leaving now."

Shuanzi left and considerately closed the door. The house returned to silence, but Zhao Ze's heart was not at peace.

To be honest, Zhao Ze had seen all kinds of people in his life. When men usually told dirty jokes to each other, he would laugh and join in, saying a few words he heard from others. He had never really thought about dating or getting married.

In his opinion, all women were either as moody as his mother and liked to make trouble for no reason, or they were like those young wives in the village, very troublesome and pretentious, who would burst into tears if they were told a few harsh words, and would cry and make a lot of noise for no reason.

Speaking of crying, the younger sister-in-law also loves to shed tears, but he doesn't find it annoying. Instead, it makes people feel distressed. Moreover, the younger sister-in-law is a reasonable person, not harsh, and always convinces people with reason. Moreover, his mother also likes the younger sister-in-law very much and wants to introduce her to her in-laws.

It's such a pity for such a good person to marry someone else! Why can't I marry him?

The more Zhao Ze thought about it, the more he felt that Shi Yan was perfect. It would be even better if he could marry her home and have a wife, children and a warm bed!

But he wants to marry his younger sister-in-law. Is his younger sister-in-law willing to marry him?

Zhao Ze thought about how Shi Yan usually interacted with him, and then looked at how she treated Shuanzi. It seemed that there was no difference, and she was both quite gentle....

"what!!!!!"

"boom!!!!"

Zhao Ze was depressed and irritated and hammered the bed, making a "bang bang" sound.

But no matter how he searched his memory, no matter how he tossed and turned in bed, he could not find any evidence in the details that his sister-in-law was interested in him.

Zhao Ze and Shi Yan had not known each other for long, and they had not met for some time, but Zhao Ze remembered every scene they had been together, as if it was a movie playing in his mind.

He had been lying in bed for the whole afternoon. Zhao De and Liu Cuimiao came back and asked Zhao Ze to come out for dinner. Because of this incident, he became much more depressed.

"What's wrong with you? You went out today and you look listless when you come back?"

Seeing that her son was not enthusiastic about eating, and looking at his frost-bitten face, Liu Cuimiao could not help but ask.

"Mom, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Zhao Ze did not answer Liu Cuimiao's question, but instead asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Zhao Ze was a little angry and said, "Mom!"

"Hey, isn't it just idleness, playing with cats and dogs, not doing any real work?"

With every word Liu Cuimiao said, Zhao Ze felt more depressed and his expression became more gloomy.

Liu Cuimiao naturally noticed the changes in her son and quickly made amends:

"But these are the opinions of the people in the village who don't know you. You have been doing very well recently. You come back early and know how to help others. How could my Liu Cuimiao's seed be a bad seed? You are just a little sloppy, no worse than any other kid in the village."

"Really?" Zhao Ze was a little uncertain.

"Of course. What good would it do for me to lie to you? But why are you asking this today? Did someone say something bad about you? Tell me and I'll help you get back at your wits' end!"

Although Liu Cuimiao likes to talk about her son, she doesn't mean it. If there are outsiders gossiping about him, she will not make trouble for him.

Zhao Ze was a young man in his twenties. He had been nagging his mother for so many years. This time, he was rarely defended by his mother. He couldn't help laughing out loud, and his previous decadence disappeared.

"You little brat, you scared me so much that I thought something happened to you and the sky was falling!"

Liu Cuimiao patted her chest in a rare pretentious manner.

"Nothing, I'm just trying to find something to do. It's not the same to keep doing this."

The most important thing is that he wants to get married, so he has to save some money for her. His sister-in-law is so rich, so he can't be poor.

"Think about it slowly. Your father and I can still afford it. We don't need you to take care of us in our old age. If you really can't make it, you can go to the fields with us. Don't waste your energy."

"Besides, with your physique, if you show up in the fields more often, who knows, there might be a decent family that can find a daughter-in-law for me."

As for urging Zhao Ze to get married, Liu Cuimiao saw that Zhao Ze was always indecisive and was afraid of ruining his daughter, so she never mentioned it. But today, seeing that Zhao Ze had good intentions, she couldn't help but mention it.

But Zhao Ze didn't understand Liu Cuimiao's thoughts at all. Instead, he was interested in getting a wife. He clenched his fists, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and asked his mother for advice.

"Mom, are you saying that lesbians like my physique?"

"Hey, you are so shameless!"

It was rare that her own son would talk to her about these tricks of chasing people. Liu Cuimiao was surprised and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Mom, I'm just following your lead, aren't I? Go ahead and tell me!"

"How can you ask me about pleasing female lesbians? You should ask your father. Your father went through a lot of trouble to pursue me."

After Liu Cuimiao said this, she glared at Village Chief Zhao, who was eating like a sullen person. But in Zhao Ze's eyes, his mother's expression at this moment seemed a little shy, which made him shiver.

"Dad, please tell me something. I want to learn from you. Dad is the pillar of our family and my role model. He must be very capable to marry such a good wife like my mother!"
