Chapter 20: I Brought My Wife Home

“Oh, son-in-law! I promised you right here in the county town! There's no need to be so anxious!” Liu Ruxin laughed heartily.

“It’s just that I was busy tidying up Xueqing’s things just now. After we finish eating, she’ll come home with you. You have to treat her well!” Liu Ruxin’s voice turned a bit low and serious.

Wang An was stunned. He had never been married before; was it really this simple?

Seeing Wang An dazed, Mu Hua explained, “These days, we can't afford a big ceremony. Besides, you’ve seen our situation! Keeping it simple like this is just fine! As long as you two live your lives well together, that’s all that matters!”

Wang An understood! He nodded heavily and said, “Uncle, Auntie, this is the last time I’ll call you that! Dad, Mom, don't worry! I will definitely treat Xueqing well, just as you have treated her!”

Mu Hua patted Wang An on the shoulder with gratification and said, “Good, good son-in-law! Your mother and I both believe in you!”

At this moment, Mu Xueqing was watching this scene from the side, her eyes red.

As they spoke, Liu Ruxin began to bustle about to prepare a meal. Wang An thought to himself—with these conditions, what was there to eat?

From the moment he entered the courtyard, Wang An had habitually observed the surroundings; there truly wasn't much food!

The first meal a son-in-law eats at his mother-in-law's house, and there are no dishes!! Doesn't this put the father-in-law and mother-in-law in a difficult position? It’s a huge loss of face!

He couldn't exactly eat the buns they bought at noon, right? Or those two pieces of leftover roe deer meat? Besides, he had forgotten to take the leftover meat himself, and it seemed the mother and daughter were too embarrassed to offer it!

Thinking of this, Wang An said to Liu Ruxin, “Mom, don't bother yourself. I still have to return the mule cart to the production brigade! In a few days, once I've hunted some wild game, I'll come back with Xueqing and we'll make up for this meal, how does that sound? It's not far between our houses anyway!”

Liu Ruxin was likely a "skilled woman unable to cook without rice."

She said sheepishly, “That works! Son-in-law, look, this is your first time here, and we haven't even managed to feed you properly!”

“Hey, Mom, what are you saying? Your son-in-law has things to do! Besides, it's so close, it's just a quick trip! Don't worry, I'll be coming by often!” Wang An said cheerfully.

“Dad, Mom, Xueqing and I are leaving! Xue Li, Xue Ting, take good care of Mom and Dad! Your sister and I will come visit in a few days,” Wang An said as he walked toward the door. Mu Xueqing followed behind him, carrying a small bundle.

Walking up to the mule cart, he took down the two pieces of roe deer meat.

Pretending to complain to Mu Xueqing, he said, “Xueqing, look at how scatterbrained you are. It wasn't much to begin with, and you still left the meat behind!” As he spoke, he casually handed the meat to Mu Xueli, who was standing nearby.

After a thought, he reached into his pocket, pulled out the money he had scavenged from a dead man's pocket, counted out a hundred, and placed it in Mu Xueqing's hand, saying, “Xueqing, it's time to go. Give something to the family.”

Mu Xueqing froze for a moment. Taking the money, she walked to Liu Ruxin's side and said with a hint of a sob, “Mom, I'm leaving. Please take care of yourself and Dad. I will come back often!”

Looking at the money, Liu Ruxin’s tears fell. She said, “Don't worry about us. Just live your lives well, and your father and I will be at peace!”

Mu Xueqing finally couldn't hold it back anymore; her tears fell as she hugged Mu Hua, Mu Xueli, and Mu Xueting one by one.

Only then did she follow the mule cart out of the courtyard, get on the cart, and head toward her in-laws' house! From then on, she would become a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, bear children for Wang An, and after death, be laid to rest in the Wang family cemetery!!!

Walking along the mountain road, Wang An was very happy, driving the cart with his wife, feeling the biting winter wind against his face!

Suddenly, he remembered a little tune a cellmate had sung in a fence in his past life, and he began to sing

“...In the spring, the hundred flowers are fresh, The young sister and I, hand in hand we mesh. The sister says nothing, just looks at me and smiles, I know she waits for me to hold her for a while. Hold her, oh hold her, hold my sister tight, And carry her away on the wedding sedan bright!”

Just as the tune finished, he felt the flesh on his waist being pinched. However, because they were wearing such thick clothes, it didn't hurt at all!!

But it wasn't okay if it didn't hurt! She dared to pinch him! Could he let her get away with this? He absolutely couldn't!

He slid directly from the driver's seat to the back, pulling Mu Xueqing, who was sitting facing the rear, over to lie across his lap!

He lowered his head and began to devour her! A reckless, unrestrained devouring! He wouldn't miss her eyes, nose, chin, neck, or mouth!

And honestly, the feeling was incredibly satisfying! Full of collagen! She was truly delicious! So fragrant!

After devouring her for a while, he lifted his head to examine her closely! As soon as she let out a tiny sound, he blocked it again!

After several repetitions, she still seemed unwilling to submit. Could this be allowed? He had to subdue her!

He lowered his head again, and while doing so, shook off his right hand and used his "righteous" large hand to undo the button at her neck that was blocking the way.

After a period of effort!

The righteous hand withdrew!

At this moment, Mu Xueqing's face was bright red, and even her ears were crimson. After a moment, she said to Wang An, “Wang An, you are too much!”

Wang An gave a series of "hehe... hehe" wanton laughs, nearly laughing himself into a stupor!

He said directly, “Too much? I'll be even more 'too much' tonight! Just prepare to receive my lashings! Hahaha!”

Mu Xueqing was so angry she ignored him and sat up!

Wang An began to sing that little tune again, the one that stays in your head after hearing it just once!

Except, he changed "carry her away on the wedding sedan" to "carry her onto the heated brick bed"!

How wonderful! Such a blissful life is so wonderful!

This time, no matter how "shameless" the tune Wang An sang sounded, Mu Xueqing remained well-behaved and didn't dare to try pinching the flesh on his waist again!

This left Wang An somewhat frustrated, as he no longer had a righteous excuse to bully Mu Xueqing!

However, thinking about how he could deal with her tonight with "honey on his lips and a sword in his belly," his heart grew excited!

Honey on the lips, a sword below! Removing the equipment to go to war... Wow! How much that battlefield would make one's blood boil with excitement and passion!!

And though Wang An could not see it even if he turned around, there wasn't a trace of anger on Mu Xueqing's face. Her bright, red, delicate face was filled with smiles!

At this moment, that face, which could topple nations, had become incredibly flirtatious and charming!

With just one glance, it would leave any man infatuated, lost in thought, and perpetually entranced!!

The journey, which should have taken ten minutes, took them over half an hour!

As they entered the courtyard, Wang An shouted loudly, “Family, I've brought my wife home!”

Wang Dazhu, Liu Guilan, Wang Yi, Wang Xiaomei, and Wang Xiaoli all ran out from the house!

Mu Xueqing hurriedly climbed down from the mule cart, feeling very shy and nervous in front of Wang Dazhu and Liu Guilan!

She went straight into a self-introduction: “Father, Mother, hello. I am your daughter-in-law, my name is Mu Xueqing!” By the time she finished, her face was completely flushed!

Dear fellow villagers, brothers, and sisters!

I love you!!
