Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

"Selling buns, hot and fragrant buns, hot buns fresh from the oven!"

From an alley came bursts of shouts like spring thunder.

"I'm hungry." Ruan Chuyin swallowed and looked at the deep path with hope.

"Didn't you just eat half a fish?" Meng Huali turned his head towards her in shock.

Ruan Chuyin pursed her lips, said nothing, stretched out her hand in front of him, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

That slightly frivolous expression also made Meng Huali squint his eyes.

Why was this woman's behavior becoming more and more like his? Was it because they'd been together for so long? Or was she just like him at heart?

The cells in his body suddenly started clamoring, and he grabbed her little hand and pulled her into the alley.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the big hand that was wrapping around her small hand in disbelief. At a distance of thirty meters, her brain short-circuited seven or eight times.

Men and women should not touch each other, isn’t this “old thing” feudal?

Besides, who allowed him to touch her hand?

Anger suddenly rose in his eyes, and he shook it hard, but failed to shake it off.

"How much are the buns?" Meng Huali suddenly let go of the little hand and asked, pointing to a basket of steaming buns.

Huang Ah Shui was in high spirits when he met two customers right after setting up his stall. But looking at their looks, could they really afford it?

But he didn't show it, and replied with a smile on his face: "Sir, the meat is five cents each, and the vegetables are three cents. How many do you want?"

So expensive? Ruan Chuyin was slightly startled. She remembered that meat buns in Wushui Town were only two cents each, while those in Liangcheng were eight cents. This place was likely a second-tier town.

Just now at the pharmacy, I heard Meng Huali asking the doctor. They had already arrived at Xueyin Town in Xueyue Country, which was still a long way from the capital Yongrui.

"I want to buy two baskets of meat buns. Can you give me the change?" Meng Huali asked as he handed over a tael of silver.

This. . .

The stall owner looked embarrassed and knew he couldn't make change. But Meng Huali only had ten taels of silver left in his pocket, and every copper coin had to be used on a knife's edge. He wished he could break it in half and spend it, so there was no way he could give a generous reward.

One of them wanted both the buns and the change, while the other wanted the change but couldn't give it to him.

During the stalemate, Ruan Chuyin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked, "Uncle, we'd like to find a place to wash up and stay for the night, and change into some clean clothes. Is your house suitable? Do you have enough change?"

When these words were spoken, Huang Ashui and Meng Huali were both stunned.

Can you do this?

"That's enough, I'll take you back now."

Seeing that the uncle was about to pack up his stall, Ruan Chuyin felt bad and glanced at the tall figure beside him. He turned his head to the side without hesitation, as if he was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear.

Huang A Shui lives at the very end of the alley. He has two children at home, a twin boy and girl, who are six years old this year.

Ruan Chuyin looked at the uncle again uncertainly. Could it be that he looked old?

Later I learned that this uncle was not originally from here, but had fled here with his children after a flood in the village two years ago. His wife had passed away after giving birth to their two children.

Life was already tight, and now they could earn a few coins. Even if the two of them were wanted criminals of the imperial court, Huang A Shui would not be afraid.

With the help of candlelight, the family of three could see Meng Huali's eyes clearly.

Those were a pair of evil eyes with a purple glow. Huang Ashui remained relatively calm, but the two children were already frightened and burst into tears.

In an instant, Ruan Chuyin felt that someone's aura had undergone a drastic change, and a strong evil spirit was spreading in this small courtyard.
