Chapter 47 p2
After Xizhi had rested for a few days, she had strictly forbidden her from packing food from the restaurant and had started cooking herself again.
Seeing her rosy complexion at the time and that she seemed to be recovering well, she hadn’t said anything.
“How about I make you some noodles for lunch? I kneaded the dough this morning.”
“Alright. We should have noodles for lunch. With three poached eggs, you can have two. I’ll go and start the fire for you in a little while. After we eat, I still have to go and cut pig feed.”
Speaking of cutting pig feed, Shen Xizhi’s noodle-making movements paused. The faint smile that had appeared on her face because of her unfair distribution of the poached eggs disappeared. She appeared behind Song Yugui with a gloomy expression. “I’m going with you to cut it today.”
The way she said this didn’t sound like a discussion at all, but rather a notification.
Song Yugui’s brow raised in surprise. “Why? What are you going with me for? The grass I cut is enough for the pigs to eat. It’s still cold recently. You should take care of your health.”
Shen Xizhi was unwilling. Her delicate brows furrowed, and her pearly white teeth bit her red lip tightly. After a long while, she suddenly shook off her wife’s hand and said angrily, “If I can’t go, then you’re not allowed to go with Miss Chi either!”
These past few days, her wife wouldn’t let her work hard or be exposed to the wind, always going to cut pig feed alone. But!
She had left alone, but had come back as two!
Miss Chi was always by her wife’s side, talking and laughing, and even greeted her enthusiastically.
She didn’t want to talk to Miss Chi at all.
Why is it that I’m not even allowed out of the house, but Miss Chi can accompany my wife to the mountains to cut pig feed? What did they talk about all this way? Would Yugui-jiejie particularly admire Miss Chi’s free and easy manner?
Although Shen Xizhi didn’t say it, in her heart, she had always felt that Chi Xiangyue was better than her. For some reason, she always had a feeling that she would be completely suppressed by Miss Chi.
Then would Yugui-jiejie also think that Miss Chi is good? Would she think that Miss Chi is even better than her? Would she like Miss Chi a lot?
Just thinking about it made Shen Xizhi feel wronged.
She knew she was very jealous and had a small heart, not tolerating others in her eyes. After she spoke, the room fell silent, with only the howling wind beating against the door and windows. She belatedly realized, her long lashes trembling slightly, her fingers nervously clenched in her palm. After a long while, she finally dared to look up at her wife’s face.
She had thought she would see displeasure on her face, but she hadn’t expected her to just be stunned. After a long moment of being stunned, she finally came to her senses, her gaze assessing and thoughtful as it fell on her. Shen Xizhi was so frightened her heart was pounding, and she was almost about to take back her words and say that she had just been talking nonsense.
However, Song Yugui agreed.
She said, “Mmm, I won’t go with her. I’ll just go by myself. I’ve said it before, our relationship is the best.”
The villain’s family doesn’t treat her well. She’s all alone here, like a floating duckweed. But it’s a coincidence. This body of hers is also without a father or mother here. They are two people who have no way back. They should be the best of friends.
Hearing her emphasize their good relationship, Shen Xizhi managed to press her lips together, her eyes curving slightly, very beautiful.
“Mmm!”
Soon, Chi Xiangyue did indeed come and call for her to go and cut pig feed. She’s not tired of cutting for so many days? Song Yugui shook her head helplessly. Meeting her wife’s wary gaze toward the outside, the corners of her mouth twitched. She stood up. “I’ll go and talk to her. Don’t worry. I’ll go and refuse her now.”
They’ve only cut grass together for a few days, and she’s already so worried.
Song Yugui stroked her wife’s head and coaxed her to put on the jade hairpin, saying that she would look at it after she had finished cutting the grass, and then take her for a walk in the fields to relax. Although you have to avoid the wind a little, you can’t really not go out at all. You’ll get bored. Let’s just walk for five minutes.
After Chi Xiangyue had called for Song Yugui and Shen Xizhi, she bent down outside the fence and spread her hands to reveal some snowy white rice grains to feed the chicken.
Song Yugui’s steps toward her paused. Wait, this chicken eats so well? I haven’t even had any fine rice yet.
Her wife at home was frugal and insisted on finishing the coarse rice before she would buy fine rice. She was used to eating coarse rice and was willing to indulge Shen Xizhi in small matters. Who knew that when she came out, her own chicken was already eating fine rice.
“Aiya, Yugui, what do you say? When are we going to cut pig feed today?”
It wasn’t that she had fallen in love with this work. At first, she had really enjoyed doing it, but after the novelty wore off, it was just so-so. It was mainly because it was too boring. If she didn’t cut pig feed, what would she do? In Songjia Village, it was not like in the capital, where she could meet a few friends to go to the teahouse to listen to stories, watch Beijing opera, and go shopping.
In Songjia Village, even going to the street was a hassle. If she didn’t do some work and chat with her friends, she would be bored to death.
Song Yugui had no intention of hiding it. She looked at Chi Xiangyue and said frankly, “We cut pig feed together every day. I’m a lesbian, which is not good for your reputation. Why don’t you… go and cut with Miss Song today?”
The names Song Xinyu and Song Xingchuan flashed through her mind. She naturally chose Song Xinyu.
Hearing this, Chi Xiangyue was stunned. Her fingers unconsciously closed, grabbing the head of the chicken that was pecking at the rice. She didn’t understand. “You didn’t suddenly become a lesbian. Why didn’t you say this at the beginning?”
The female lead’s mind turns fast.
Song Yugui coughed lightly. After a long period of contact, her relationship with the female lead was not bad now, so she gestured inside with her eyes. “You and I are both women, and I’m a lesbian. If we’re too close…”
Chi Xiangyue’s small head spun rapidly. She looked inside, then at her, and immediately understood. Her eyes widened in shock, and she lowered her voice. “Xizhi is jealous?”
Song Yugui wouldn’t dare to say her wife was jealous. Even if it was true, she just coughed lightly and didn’t speak.
The struggling chicken was released. Seeing her like this, Chi Xiangyue was certain. She looked at her teasingly and laughed silently for a while. “I didn’t expect Xizhi to be so jealous. No wonder she usually doesn’t like to talk to me. She was probably jealous a long time ago.”
Song Yugui thought back and realized it was true. Xizhi rarely had anything good to say when she mentioned Chi Xiangyue. She had thought it was because the female lead and the villain were naturally incompatible.
“Then you can go and cut by yourself today. I’ll stay here and chat with Xizhi!”
Chi Xiangyue was thick-skinned. Even though she knew Xizhi was jealous of her, she still wanted to play with Shen Xizhi. She talked a lot, and only Xizhi had the patience to listen to her. Although she didn’t talk to her most of the time, she would occasionally express her own opinions. Oh, and her cousin. Her cousin was also very patient and especially liked to listen to her talk. It was a pity that she had been here for a long time and hadn’t seen her cousin.
“Alright. But don’t you bully Xizhi. Xizhi is frail. I always indulge her.”
Chi Xiangyue nodded very seriously. “How could I bully her? Xizhi is also my friend.”
With the female lead’s words, she was much more at ease. Hopefully, the female lead would always remember.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Xizhi for a little while.”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. When you’re not here, I’ll definitely take care of your house properly!”
Song Yugui was just about to smile politely when she heard this and couldn’t help but be silent for a long moment. How strange. It’s like… a strange feeling of taking care of a wife for a sister.
Wait, who wants her to take care of it?
“You can just talk to Xizhi. I don’t need you for anything else.”
My own house, I’ll take care of it myself!
The two of them talked outside for a long while. Shen Xizhi finally called out from inside. “Song Yugui, if you don’t want to eat, then say so early. I won’t make yours!”
She was clearly annoyed.
“I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going in.”
Chi Xiangyue was dazed. After a long while, she finally reacted. There was no one in front of her anymore. This scene, she actually found it familiar, as if it had happened to her before.
Song Yugui took two steps at a time and quickly entered the house, walking over to hold the wife at the stove and swaying her on the spot. “Good Xizhi, I accidentally chatted with Miss Chi for a little too long. Don’t be angry.”
Shen Xizhi had spoken harshly just now, just to let her know to come back. Now that she was back, she wasn’t that angry anymore. She let herself lean against her wife’s embrace, pressed her tender pink lips together, and said sullenly, “You two were talking outside for so long. Were you talking bad about me?”
When she was alone, she would always let her imagination run wild, guessing to herself if her possessiveness had made her wife unhappy.
This was simply a huge pot falling from the sky. Song Yugui said with a straight face, “Did you hear someone singing?”
Shen Xizhi was confused by her jump in topic and looked up blankly. “Ah, no. What were they singing?”
Song Yugui: “The Injustice to Dou E!”(Famous classical Chinese play about a young woman who is wrongfully executed. Her name has become synonymous with being unjustly accused.)
Shen Xizhi: …
She couldn’t help it, and a smile escaped her lips. She quickly lowered her head and stirred the noodles with a spoon. “Don’t tease me.”
“You were the one who misunderstood me first. How could I say bad things about you, let alone in front of Miss Chi? Even if I were to say it, I should say it to your face.”
She… only did things to tease her wife to her face!
Only outsiders would be teased by her behind their backs.
Shen Xizhi’s beautiful eyes widened. “Are you very dissatisfied with me in your heart!”
Song Yugui held her and also pouted like she used to. “What are you talking about? I’m not dissatisfied with you. Don’t think of ways to slander me all day.”
Shen Xizhi put the lid on the pot. It would be ready to eat after simmering for a while. But she was still dissatisfied. “You’re not allowed to say bad things about me in front of outsiders, and you’re not allowed to say them in front of me, and you’re not allowed to secretly think them in your heart!”
She was very domineering. To summarize her words, it was, You can’t think I’m not good! You have to think I’m the best in the world!
How could there be such a domineering little wife? Song Yugui couldn’t help but laugh. But when she looked up and saw her wife’s puffed-out cheeks, she still laughed so hard she was bent over, her stomach hurting.
After being stomped on angrily, she reached out and poked one of her puffed-out cheeks, letting out the air inside, and agreed with a smile, “Alright, I won’t say it, I won’t think it.”
