The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Xu Qingye hummed, "She may have misunderstood something. I'll explain it to her when I have a chance."

Song Yuntang became even more curious.

"What on earth is going on?"

In the dark night, the man looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes.

"Really want to know?"

Song Yuntang asked casually, "Is it something I can't know?"

"Not really." Xu Qingye coughed fakely. "Actually, it's okay to tell you. Before I went to bed last night, my mother specifically reminded me to heat up the water on the stove. When I woke up this morning and saw that the water on the stove was still there, I thought... I had a hidden illness."

Song Yuntang suddenly felt that being too curious was sometimes not a good thing.

Then I thought about how a mature and steady man would react when he heard these words, and I felt like laughing again.

Seeing her slightly shaking shoulders, Xu Qingye looked helpless.

"Laugh if you want to."

As if feeling something was wrong, Song Yuntang restrained his smile.

"Didn't you explain to Mother?"

"No." Xu Qingye said, "Let her misunderstand. Otherwise, one day she will come to do your job."

A strange feeling flashed through Song Yuntang's heart.

She didn't think as far-reaching as Xu Qingye did.

Yes, she is the only one in the villages around Cile Town who does not sleep with her husband after getting married.

Only Xu Qingye would rather be misunderstood by his family as having a hidden illness than not tolerate it.

She turned back to face him, leaned over, took his hand, and placed her hand over his pulse.

After a moment, he put down his hand.

"The lesions in your body have been completely removed. Although you're still a little weak, you don't have any hidden illnesses. Just rest and recuperate for a while. There's no rush for that kind of thing."

It is normal for an adult man to have needs.

Since she had chosen to get married, as a normal couple, she had no intention of maintaining her innocence.

I just want to give it some time to adapt and let everything fall into place naturally.

Xu Qingye pursed his lips and smiled. The moonlight poured in from the window and shone on the side of his face. His high nose bridge completely blocked the light that was shining on the other side of his face, including his eyebrows and eyes.

He raised his hand and rubbed Song Yuntang's head.

"I told you I won't force you. Don't think too much. Just go to sleep."

"Ah."

Song Yuntang was still sleeping facing the wall like he did last night, tightly pressed against it.

As if she felt something was not right, she moved her body to the middle position.

Xu Qingye watched her movements but said nothing. He just lay quietly in his seat, glancing in her direction from time to time.

After a busy day, Song Yuntang fell asleep very quickly.

Perhaps because she was too close to Xu Qingye and felt hot, she lifted the quilt covering her.

Seeing this, Xu Qingye considerately picked up the corner of the quilt and put it on her body, but after a while, she lifted it up again and turned over impatiently, facing the man.

Xu Qingye curled the corners of his lips and picked up the corner of the quilt and put it on her again.

After a while, Song Yuntang waved his arm, which was covered with the quilt, and not only lifted the quilt again, but also placed his entire arm on Xu Qingye's chest.

Now, for fear of waking her up, he didn't dare move and maintained this position until the next morning.

When Song Yuntang woke up, the first thing he saw was Xu Qingye's profile.

I was just curious why he got up so late today.

Looking down, she saw her hands tightly wrapped around his waist.

She was so scared that she quickly raised her arms, turned over and lay flat on the bed to relax. She looked to the side again and saw that he was still asleep. She felt his pulse and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She climbed out of the bed quietly, dressed neatly and went out of the yard.

Jiang, Xu Yongwang and Xu Wencheng had already gotten up.

Seeing Song Yuntang coming out of the house, Jiang smiled and looked into the house.

"Tang'er, Qingye hasn't woken up yet?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "He's still sleeping. I saw he was sleeping soundly so I didn't wake him up."

Xu Wencheng's face was full of surprise.

"Usually I always get up later than my brother, but today he finally slept in."

"Go away." Jiang glared at him, but couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of her lips. "What does a little kid know?"

Xu Wencheng curled his lips.

"I'm not a child."

Only then did Song Yuntang realize that Jiang had misunderstood something again.

But she didn't want to explain. She and Xu Qingye were husband and wife. It was just a misunderstanding. It was bound to be resolved sooner or later.

"Mom, what are we having for breakfast?"

Jiang smiled and said, "I made some porridge, boiled some white flour cakes, and steamed a bowl of egg custard for you to nourish your bodies. Go wash up and you will be able to eat soon."

Song Yuntang responded and took a basin to the kitchen to pour water. "Mom, I have a business appointment in town today, so I won't be home this morning. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

Jiang was stunned.

"You're not eating at home at noon?"

Song Yuntang nodded.

"I've been busy these days, I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang looked at her with a calm expression.

"Logically speaking, it's a good thing that you're busy. It means business is good, and Mom shouldn't say anything. But you also have to take care of your body. When you're young, everyone thinks they have endless energy, but even so, you have to do things within your ability."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang added, "Wencheng is idle at home now. If there's anything he can do, we can hire him. He doesn't need to be paid. We're family, so any savings are appreciated."

"If we really let Wencheng help, we still have to pay him the wages he deserves," Song Yuntang joked, "otherwise people will say I'm abusing my brother-in-law."

Jiang was amused by her and laughed out loud.

"My family is happy, but others are not? Those who love to gossip are really bored."

Just then, there was a knock on the gate and a mosquito-like sound came from outside the yard.

"Second uncle, second aunt."

Song Yuntang had just left the yard to get some water to wash his face when he heard a knock on the door. He went forward and opened the door.

"You are……"

The youngest cousin who followed Xu Cui yesterday.

However, Song Yuntang did not know her name, he only knew her two sisters, the eldest sister was called Cheng Xiaoqian and the second sister was called Cheng Xiaofang.

The girl nodded at her and said, "Hello, cousin, I'm Cheng Nian'er. My mother asked me to borrow your mule cart to take us back to Yanliu Village."

The more she spoke, the quieter her voice became.

Even though things were so unpleasant yesterday, my mother still wanted to borrow my cousin's wife's mule cart.

She didn't have the face to come, so she secretly asked me to come when my grandparents weren't paying attention.

If she hadn't been unable to resist, she really didn't want to embarrass this person.

Song Yuntang looked at the cousin in front of him. Unlike her two older sisters, there were always good bamboo shoots among the bad bamboos.

"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you. I just have to go to town on some business by mule cart. I made an appointment with someone a few days ago, so I can't delay."
