Chapter 158: Will Your Heart Hurt A Little For Him?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Yufeng realized that he was too agitated, so he lay back down and acted like a qualified cripple.
Chen Xiang did not find it strange. After all, it was normal for them to miss each other as they were separated for quite some time. At this moment, Chen Xiang had completely forgotten that their relationship was not good.
At this moment, Chen Xiang had already imagined that Su Li and He Yufeng had a very good relationship.
After all, there were not many capable people like Su Li. Only a fool would treat her badly.
Chen Xiang smiled and said, “When I went to wash the clothes just now, I heard someone say that they saw Sister coming back. She went to the village chief’s house with your mother and the others. I don’t know what happened.”
Just now, when she went to wash her clothes, she heard those women discussing that Su Li had brought the children back. It seemed like Wang Chunhua had invited her back. The moment she returned, she rushed straight to the village chief’s house.
Everyone was guessing what was going on. Some busybodies had already followed.
He Yufeng had a rough idea. It must be something that he had discussed with
Su Li last time.
Chen Xiang continued nagging, “Forget it, Sister hasn’t gone back to her maiden home for long. Why do I feel like a long time has passed?”
Hearing Chen Xiang’s words, He Yufeng looked up at the roof.
That’s right. She hadn’t gibe back for long, but why did it feel like a long time?
It was so long that he felt like a few years had passed.
Previously, when he went out to hunt, the three of them were at home. Every time he returned home, there would always be someone waiting for him, so he did not feel this way.
However, in the past, even when Su Li wasn’t at home, he didn’t feel anything at all. This time, Su Li had only returned to her maiden home to stay for a short period of time. He felt that life at home alone was like a year.
Or perhaps it was not because of Su Li, but because he was used to being out all year round and suddenly had nothing to do, so he could not stand staying at home alone?
Thinking that Su Li was back, Chen Xiang recalled that she had dried Su Li’s blanket and sheets a few days ago as the sun was good. However, the blanket that she had helped wash previously had not been put onto the bed yet. Thinking of that, Chen Xiang turned around and went to Su Li’s room to help her make the bed.
Chen Xiang was agile and quickly helped Su Li make the bed.
She picked up the cloth again and began to wipe the house.
Actually, there was nothing to tidy up, but Chen Xiang just couldn’t control herself. She wanted Su Li to come back and see the spotless house. He Yufeng looked at the busy Chen Xiang and said, “You don’t have to work anymore. I want to be alone for a while.”
Chen Xiang still wanted to continue working. The house had not been cleaned yet!
Chen Xiang said, “I’ll leave after finishing my work. I definitely won’t disturb you.”
He Yufeng insisted on chasing her away with a cold expression. “Your presence here gives me a headache. You should go home!”
If Chen Xiang didn’t leave, he wouldn’t be able to get up. He had promised Su Li that he wouldn’t expose himself and had to put on a good show.
Seeing that He Yufeng’s expression was not right, Chen Xiang could only nod and agree. “Alright, I’ll go back first.’
It had to be said that He Yufeng’s face was like a strange weather. One moment, it was windy, and the next, it was raining.
However, after cooking for He Yufeng for the past few days, she understood him a little. Although he was a little cold, he did not have any bad intentions.
He was much better than some people.
Chen Xiang walked out of the courtyard and even closed the door for him considerately, afraid that something else would run into the courtyard.
He Dahai was a little surprised to see Chen Xiang. “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you say that you were going to help clean up the house?”
He Dahai no longer had any prejudice against Su Li and was even very grateful to her.
There were so many people in the village, so why did Su Li let his wife help with the work? Moreover, she was paid 80 copper coins a day. If outsiders found out about such a good thing, everyone would fight for it.
He was not someone who did not know what was good for him. Previously, he did not like Su Li because she always went to their house to get things. Every time she came, she would be like a locust, causing their family to suffer unspeakably.
Now, Su Li had changed. Not only did she bring them to earn money, but she also gave them food from time to time. Those pastries were given to He
Mingshan as if they were free.
He had seen all of this, so he had no objections even if Su Li asked Chen Xiang to help cook.
Chen Xiang explained, “He Yufeng wanted to be alone, so I came back first.”
He Dahai nodded. “I see.”
He Yufeng was good at hunting and had a strong body. In the past, he used to admire him. Now that He Yufeng had become like this, he felt a little regretful for him.
He Yufeng heard the sound of the courtyard door closing. After waiting for a
while to make sure that Chen Xiang had left, he quickly got out of bed.
These days, he did not lie on the bed all the time. Every night, he would sneak up the mountain to take a look, but he did not take a closer look at his appearance. He did not know what his current image was like!
As he thought about it, He Yufeng walked to the water tank and looked at his current appearance.
When he saw an old man in the water, He Yufeng almost fell into the tank.
Was this him?
Was he sure it wasn’t a mistake?’
After all, he was a buff man in the past. How did he become like this now?!
He Yufeng looked down at his abs and heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, his abdominal muscles were still there. If he became a piece of fat meat, he would directly die. He remembered that Su Li liked to touch his abdominal muscles the most. Damn it, why was he thinking about that woman again!
He Yufeng shook his head and tried to shake Su Li’s figure out of his mind.
The more he acted like this, the clearer Su Li’s figure appeared in his mind. It was as if she had always lived in his heart.
He washed his face with a basin of water, trying to wake himself up.
Looking at the reflection in the water, He Yufeng felt that he had to tidy up his appearance. He really couldn’t see anyone in this state. It would be troublesome if he scared the children.
He Yufeng couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if Su Li saw him like this.
Would she be shocked? Or would it be heartless mockery? Or perhaps she would feel a little sorry for him.
Should he give it a try? He might even be able to act pitiful.
As soon as this thought appeared, he rejected it. If he did not succeed in acting pitiful and was mocked mercilessly, he would be heartbroken.
He Yufeng quickly found a tool to shave his beard. After shaving his beard, he looked much more energetic. He then found the best clothes (which still had three patches filling the holes) in the cabinet.
After doing all this, He Yufeng ran to the water vat and looked at himself. Seeing the appearance in the water, He Yufeng nodded in satisfaction. This was what a human should look like. He could not let that woman laugh at him.
Compared to the other three brothers, He Yufeng looked righteous. Be it his looks or figure, he was the best among the brothers. He wondered why Old He and Wang Chunhua were so biased against him!
Could it be that sons were not worth much after one has too many of them?
Or could it be that He Yufeng’s appearance was not likable, so Old He and Wang Chunhua had always been biased?
Otherwise, other than these few possibilities, he really couldn’t think of a reason for Old He and Chunhua to be biased against him..
