Chapter 50 p1
That day, after Song Yugui had finished selling meat in town, she had only just reached the middle of the small earthen slope when Shen Xizhi, having seen Auntie Li off, spotted her. Her dark eyes instantly lit up, the corners of her lips curving up, and she trotted over.
“Yugui-jiejie, I missed you~”
Her voice was so sweet it made one’s heart flutter.
Ever since the incident with the Shen family, her already clingy nature had become even more so. She had to follow her everywhere and loved to hold and hug her. When she wasn’t allowed to go to town, she would wait eagerly at home every day, and the moment she returned, she would rush over to hug her.
“Mmm, did you have a good breakfast at home today?”
She would sometimes leave breakfast for Xizhi, but sometimes she would leave directly if she had slept in. When she left breakfast, Xizhi would basically always eat it. But if she didn’t… then she would sometimes eat and sometimes not. One time, the young woman had let it slip, and only then did she find out. Now she had to ask every time she came home.
Shen Xizhi nuzzled her wife’s chest vigorously. Ever since she had forgotten to eat breakfast last time and Yugui-jiejie had been unhappy, deliberately not speaking to her for a whole hour, how could she dare not eat?
Her small head nodded quickly, her expression also carrying a cute seriousness. “I ate, I ate. I’ll take care of my body.”
Although she didn’t know what a stomach ailment was, her wife had said it was very serious, and she had taken it to heart.
“Mmm, so good.”
Song Yugui reached out and rubbed the back of her head.
The two of them walked in hand in hand. She was pulled to the head of the bed to sit down. Shen Xizhi was excited. “Did you know, my parents and brothers were beaten up!”
…
Song Yugui silently lowered her eyes, trying her best not to let her guilt show, her tone even feigning a hint of surprise. “Ah, is that so? What happened? Who hit them?”
Shen Xizhi shook her head. “I don’t know who, but I’m very happy!”
The wind outside gradually softened, only gently blowing the wooden door. The corners of Song Yugui’s mouth also curved into a faint smile, her eyes curving. Then it’s not a loss.
“They deserved it. They’ve offended too many people outside to have been targeted.”
“Mmm, mmm, I said so too. There are even people in the village who say it was you who beat up the Shen family. How could that be? You stopped hitting people a long time ago. I told Auntie not to spread rumors. Auntie will go out and clarify for you!”
Song Yugui: Breaking out in a sweat, wifey.
She didn’t show any strange expression on her face, even tilting her head with a smile and agreeing, “That’s right. How could I do such a thing? I don’t hit people anymore.”
If she knew that I had hired someone to put the Shen family in a sack… Xizhi would definitely be afraid, right? Xizhi has a psychological shadow from this kind of thing. Others can do it, but she absolutely cannot.
“Mmm!”
Hearing her approval, Shen Xizhi also curved her eyes and burrowed into her embrace again.
Song Yugui held her with one hand, lest she lose her balance and fall to the ground. At the same time, she couldn’t help but think in her heart, She’s also too close. At night, she’s no longer like before, obediently nesting in my arms, but with her legs held high, locked around my waist. Sometimes she’s so high I feel quite embarrassed, and that softest part is also pressed against my waist. I even feel that… through the thin inner garment, even the tender, fragile core is very obvious, the wetness slightly soaking the inner garment, but the young woman still seems not to have noticed, not knowing if she’s really slow or too stupid.
Because many people in the village had helped them that day, Song Yugui was grateful. Thinking that it was indeed not easy for her and Xizhi, two women, to deal with that group of people, she would specially save some pork every day when she returned to the village and give it to the villagers one by one as a thank you for their help.
As a result, the barrier between Song Yugui and the villagers disappeared without a trace.
In the past, they would inevitably remember the bad things she had done and be a little distant, not interacting much on a daily basis. But now it was different. When their families occasionally got some fruit or pickled vegetables, they would also send some to Song Yugui’s house.
…
Today, after Song Yugui had thanked her uncle, who had told her about the Shen family’s arrival that day, she carried a small bundle and pushed her cart back.
On the way, she ran into Song Xinyu. She didn’t know if she was looking at the scenery or what, but anyway, she was standing in the middle of the road. Song Yugui looked up at her, silently moved the cart to the side, and gave her some space.
But she didn’t expect the other to call out to her. “Song Yugui.”
She stopped her cart. “Mmm? Miss Song?”
Because of her relationship with Chi Xiangyue, Song Xinyu was often brought before them to show her face. They could also exchange a few words and were no longer like before, when they would start cursing the moment they met.
Song Yugui did her best to be intimate with her wife in front of her, just to tell her, Your father’s old mother really doesn’t like you anymore. Don’t say I’m following you again!
After a few times like this, the effect was very significant. She never heard any more gossip about her liking the village belle.
Song Xinyu stopped her, a charming smile on her face. She skipped two steps closer. “Aiya, what did you buy for your wife again?”
She had heard from Chi Xiangyue that Song Yugui would buy something for Shen Xizhi every day. One day, she suddenly didn’t, and Shen Xizhi had thrown a tantrum and ignored her. Song Yugui had had to coax her for a long time before she was better.
She didn’t know if it was true or not.
Hearing her ask this, Song Yugui smiled. “Ah, this is a set of clothes I bought for Xizhi. It’s spring; she should wear something a little thinner.”
The clothes she had bought for Shen Xizhi before were all winter clothes, thick and windproof, very warm to wear outside.
But the weather was no longer cold, and wearing winter clothes was a little bulky, so she had bought some slightly thinner clothes.
Song Xinyu’s gaze fell on the bundle. She didn’t know what she was thinking in her heart. After a while, she continued to say with a smile, “I see you often buy her clothes.”
Song Yugui was surprised. “You noticed? That’s natural. She’s my wife. I was insensible and neglected her before. Now I definitely have to make it up to her.”
Although the so-called neglect was purely her taking the blame.
“So that’s how it is. You’re good to her.”
Hearing this, Song Yugui was immediately very proud. Everyone can see? Everyone can see that I’m good to my villain? It’s good that you can see!
“Hey, of course I’m the best to her. I’ll be leaving now. If I go back late, Xizhi will be angry.”
“Mmm, then you should hurry back.”
Song Yugui pulled her cart and walked away. Song Xinyu watched her for a while from behind, then also left in silence.
Shen Xizhi was at home, cutting clothes and waiting for someone. After knowing that she wanted to make clothes, Yugui-jiejie had bought her a lot of things for making clothes. She worked on them day and night, and her sister had even told her to take her time and not to be anxious.
How could she not be anxious? Song Yugui had already bought her several sets of clothes, but she hadn’t even finished making one…
Shen Xizhi blushed.
Song Yugui walked to the door and called out, “Xizhi?”
Shen Xizhi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately stood up. “Yugui-jiejie, you’re back.”
“Mmm, I bought you a set of clothes. Come and try it on.”
Hearing that she had bought clothes again, Shen Xizhi’s small face turned so red it was about to burst. She coyly went closer. “You… you don’t have to buy them for me. I have a lot of clothes. I can’t even wear them all.”
She had never had so many clothes. All her old clothes put together couldn’t compare. She could wear a different one every day without repeating.
“How can that be? I don’t think it’s a lot. And this one is a spring shirt, it’s different. It’s more breathable, and the color is also beautiful. Do you want to try it on?”
Shen Xizhi went up and held her wife’s arm, her lake-blue earrings swaying, and acted coquettishly with her. “But I haven’t even finished making the clothes I’m making for you. Then you won’t have any clothes to wear. Tomorrow I’ll go to town with you, and we can buy a few sets, okay~”
Song Yugui was so pestered by her wife. She was so delicate and charming, and it was all for her own good. Naturally, she didn’t hesitate to agree. “Alright, but you’re not allowed to get up early. It’s fine if you come over after you wake up. We’ll go and buy them after I finish selling the meat.”
She also had no clothes to wear and had been waiting for the set in Xizhi’s hands. But it turned out that making clothes was so troublesome. Xizhi often worked hard by the lamp at night and had only finished more than half.
I’ll buy a set. Then she said, “Even if I buy clothes, what I’m looking forward to most are the ones you make with your own hands. When you’re done, I’ll definitely wear them every day!”
Shen Xizhi was so coaxed that her eyes curved into a smile. She lay in her embrace, her voice soft and drawn out. “If you wear them every day, they’ll get smelly.”
“I’ll like them even if they’re smelly.”
When Song Yugui was coaxing someone, she never used her brain, just saying whatever sounded good, sometimes not even caring about logic.
Shen Xizhi smiled even more happily and buried her small face in her wife’s neck.
She nuzzled her skin and deliberately pouted with a look of disgust. “That won’t do. If you wear smelly clothes, you’re not allowed to get into bed and hold me to sleep anymore.”
“Hey, you’re looking down on me now? I’m going to get on, what can you do?”
Song Yugui held Shen Xizhi’s slender waist with both hands and held her in front of her.
Shen Xizhi pouted and thought carefully. She really didn’t seem to be able to do anything to her wife. Alright then, as long as it’s Yugui-jiejie, she likes her even when she’s smelly.
…
Ever since the incident with the Shen family, she had felt that her heart was getting closer and closer to Yugui-jiejie’s.
Her gaze would always unconsciously fall on her, whether she was sitting there in a daze or feeding the chickens and pigs. She just wanted to look at her.
After they had fooled around for a while, they began to make dinner. Song Yugui took out the clothes and pastries from the bundle again. “You have to wear them for me to see after we eat.”
Tonight, they were preparing to make braised pork. Their family was no longer short of meat. Now they were saving money just to renovate the house.
Shen Xizhi obediently replied, “Alright.”
The braised pork was seared to render the fat, and a little sauce was added to color it. In a short while, the fragrant smell came out.
Chi Xiangyue walked out of her house and smelled it from a long way off. She was about to come in from outside the fence. “So fragrant, so fragrant.”
The broken fence had already been repaired, but she was too lazy to open it and instead jumped over it.
She went to please Shen Xizhi with an eager expression. “Xizhi, good Xizhi, just let me stay and eat. It’s too fragrant. I can’t take it anymore. If I don’t eat this meal, I won’t be able to sleep at night, QAQ.”
She saw it very clearly. In the Song family, it seemed that Yugui was in charge, but if Xizhi didn’t agree, Yugui probably wouldn’t be able to agree either. So for things like getting a free meal, she could just ask Xizhi directly. As long as Xizhi agreed, she would be able to eat this meal.
Shen Xizhi was extremely helpless. Chi Xiangyue had helped her that day, and she was grateful in her heart, so she had let her stay for dinner. Who knew that after that, she would come over at every mealtime and not miss a single one?
Gradually, Shen Xizhi became annoyed with her, not because of the little bit of food she ate, but because she stared at her and her wife being intimate every day!
And she always teased them.
Faced with her friend’s plea, Shen Xizhi couldn’t help but glare at her fiercely. “Then you can just not sleep!”
The words that came out were also exceptionally cold and heartless.
Chi Xiangyue’s heart was broken. She couldn’t accept this answer. “No—just let me eat. You know, I grew up in the capital, following the rules, not daring to take a wrong step. I didn’t even have any friends usually. It’s not easy for me to have made friends with the two of you. Can you bear to treat me like this?”
“I can.”
This time it was Song Yugui who said it with a smile from behind. She glared at her angrily, then turned to Shen Xizhi and promised, “I definitely won’t laugh at you two this time. No matter how intimate you are, I’ll just pretend I’m blind!”
She raised three fingers and swore.
Hearing her dare to mention this again, Shen Xizhi was so angry her face turned bright red.
“You shut up! I don’t want to hear you talk at all!”
Chi Xiangyue fell silent, but not completely. After a while, she still couldn’t help but ask in a small voice, “Then can I stay for dinner?”
After being glared at fiercely but not being chased away again, she knew what was going on. She happily went to the back to find Song Yugui.
Song Yugui didn’t care about these things at all. If she agreed to let Chi Xiangyue stay, and her wife got angry with her later, she would be the one to coax her.
She would not neglect her wife for others, regardless of her wife’s thoughts.
Chi Xiangyue lifted her chin and sat down with an arrogant “hmph,” not knowing what she was being so arrogant about.
Seeing an oil-paper bag on the table, she reached out to take it. “What’s this? You bought pastries from Baoyue Pavilion for Xizhi again?”
they’re so cute I’m going feral
