Looking at Jiang's back, Xu Yongwang was puzzled.

"Look, you're asking me again, and you don't believe me when I tell you. What can I say to you?"

Jiang poked her head out from the kitchen.

"I don't believe it. The rice is really going to get burnt."

Song Yuntang took out a pill from the box and handed it to Xu Yongwang, "Dad fainted when he fell asleep just now, but he's fine now."

Xu Yongwang took the pills she handed over with half belief and half doubt.

"How can you faint when you're asleep?"

He vaguely remembered that he had just closed his eyes for a moment.

"I know Dad doesn't quite understand, but this situation does exist." Song Yuntang took the water cup from Xu Qingye's hand and handed it to him, "Dad, take the medicine first. Rest well at home for the next few days."

Although I still can't believe that I'm really sick.

But Xu Yongwang still enjoys the feeling of being taken care of by his daughter-in-law, who is much more attentive than the two rough boys at home.

Watching Xu Yongwang swallow the pill, Song Yuntang put the teacup back into the room. She resealed the remaining pill, took it back to the room, and put it in the medicine box.

"Just now, thank you."

Xu Qingye's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Song Yuntang paused, put away the things, and looked back at him.

"Since I married you, he is also my father, and I can feel that he treats me very well. You don't have to thank me."

Xu Qingye hummed.

"Have you heard about my aunt's matter from somewhere else?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "My aunt told me about it. Don't worry, I didn't think too much of it."

"I was young and frivolous at that time, and always thought that I could achieve great things in the future, so I rejected the Cheng family's request at that time. However, I didn't expect that I would suffer from a serious illness and waste my time until now. They may have laughed at me behind my back, but fortunately, I met you later." Xu Qingye looked at her.

The man has beautiful eyes, with long eyelashes that cast shadows on his eyelids. When he looks at people seriously, it seems that he is full of affection and can draw people in.

Song Yuntang didn't dare to look.

She glanced away, raised her hand to cover her lips and pretended to cough.

"Everyone has their youth. Mine was not much better than yours. We are the same. The elder brother should not laugh at the younger brother."

After saying that, he trotted out of the house and went to the kitchen.

"Mom, is the food ready?"

"Right now, Tang'er, are you hungry?"

"Well, I'm really hungry after running around outside all afternoon."

Listening to the conversation coming from the kitchen, Xu Qingye shook his head helplessly.

I wanted to tell her that marrying her had nothing to do with any favors or anything else, but the girl seemed hesitant to stay with me.

Did he look too stern?

Thinking of this, Xu Qingye came to the yard and forced a smile.

He was just seen by Xu Wencheng who was jogging into the yard.

He looked at Xu Qingye as if he were looking at a ghost.

"Brother, are you possessed by a ghost?"

After hearing this, the man's lips drooped.

Jiang's voice came from the kitchen, "You little bastard, what are you talking about?"

As Xu Wencheng walked towards the kitchen, he said, "Mom, I'm not talking nonsense. My eldest brother just laughed for no reason. It was so creepy that I thought he was possessed by a ghost."

Jiang glanced at him.

"I think what you said is even more frightening. Hurry up and wash your hands and put the dishes on the table. It's time to eat."

Just now she saw Song Yuntang hurriedly running into the kitchen, and she knew exactly what her son was laughing at.

Smelling the fragrant chicken soup, Xu Yongwang felt hungry. He walked to the dining table and took his usual wine glass from the cabinet.

"Wencheng, go pour Dad a glass of wine."

"No!" Jiang immediately stopped him, "You've drunk enough these past few days, you have to stop drinking for a few days."

"I don't drink much, just a small cup." Xu Yongwang bargained.

Jiang didn't give him a chance and directly snatched the cup from his hand.

"Not even a drop. Behave yourself. You just took Tang'er's medicine. Don't waste its effects."

Xu Wencheng was stunned. Why hadn't he been home for such a long time? Could something have happened at home?

"What happened, Dad?"

Jiang said, "Nothing. Your sister-in-law said that your father shouldn't drink alcohol these days."

Xu Wencheng looked at Xu Yongwang and advised, "Dad, your sister-in-law's medical skills are so great. Since she has said so, you should listen to her."

Seeing that it was his daughter-in-law who gave the instruction, Xu Yongwang could only wave his hand.

"Okay, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink."

After dinner, Song Yuntang wanted to take a shower.

But the Xu family's thatched hut was not as convenient to use as the one on the farm, so they had to give up the idea for the time being.

She washed her hair in the yard first, then fetched water and went into the room to wash her body.

When Xu Qingye heard the sound of water, he knew what she was doing, so he didn't rush back to the room. He stood in the yard with his hands behind his back for a long time until she came out of the house with a basin.

The room was filled with water vapor and the fragrance of soapberries.

But after opening the doors and windows, the wind blew away and the smoke disappeared in a short while.

When Song Yuntang finished washing the clothes and returned to the room, he was sitting at the desk in front of the window reading a book. There was a slight rustling sound as his slender fingers turned the pages.

The man looked very seriously and focused, which was very charming.

As if he was aware of the gaze behind him, Xu Qingye could no longer read. He closed the book in his hand and looked back at Song Yuntang.

"You've been looking at me, is there something you want to tell me?"

Song Yuntang hurriedly looked away.

"No, I didn't look at you."

Looking at the little girl's slightly red earlobes, Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled.

"Go to sleep first. I'll come up after you fall asleep."

Song Yuntang shook his head. "It's already dark. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so it's better for you to rest early."

Xu Qingye was stunned for a moment, nodded and said okay, put down the book in his hand, got up and went to the kitchen to fetch water, washed up in the yard, changed into clean clothes, and walked into the house with the fragrance of soapberries.

At this moment, Song Yuntang was lying on the edge of the bed, drying his long hair which had not yet dried.

Seeing him coming, he quickly stood up and made room for him.

Seeing this, Xu Qingye gently pulled her to sit in front of him, then took out a clean handkerchief like a magic trick and sucked the water off her long hair.

"Where did you get the handkerchief?" Song Yuntang asked.

"Ask mother for it." Xu Qingye said, "I will be going to the county town in a few days. If you need anything, just tell mother and she will prepare it for you."

Song Yuntang nodded and suddenly thought of something.

"Mother told me today to be more considerate and understanding of you... What did that mean? What did you do?"

Thinking of the questions that Jiang had asked him this morning when he pulled her into the main hall, Xu Qingye looked a little unnatural. However, Song Yuntang had his back to him and he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.

"Did nothing."

Song Yuntang didn't believe it.

"If you really didn't do anything, why would she let me blame you?" Then she said, "Actually, I don't want to dig into your details. I just think that since Mom said so, it means this matter is related to you and me. If that's the case, don't I have the right to know?"
