Chapter 841: Tight Clothes

It must be admitted that there is a phrase that describes it perfectly: "a thief's guilty conscience."

To put it simply, whether a person is stealing an object or stealing a lover, they will subconsciously feel a sense of panic.

And this was exactly how Wang An felt right now—panicked.

Normally, to get from Wang An's house to Shen Wei's, one should simply exit the front gate and head southwest. However, after walking out of his courtyard, Wang An headed directly east.

After walking a distance to the east, Wang An turned south, and only then did he turn west.

To put it bluntly, Wang An took a massive detour before finally arriving at Shen Wei's house.

This behavior of Wang An's was a vivid demonstration of the phrase "a thief's guilty conscience."

When Wang An entered Shen Wei's courtyard, she was pacing back and forth.

Furthermore, Shen Wei had changed her clothes; she was wearing a white shirt on top and a skirt commonly worn in the south on the bottom.

To be honest, Shen Wei looked incredibly youthful and beautiful at this moment, like a college student who had just graduated in this era.

However, the few buttons on the front of the shirt, which were strained tight, indicated that this "college student" was something special.

Seeing Wang An, the pacing Shen Wei couldn't help but beam a smile. She opened her arms and threw herself directly into Wang An's embrace.

Wang An chuckled as he pulled Shen Wei into his arms, and his most immediate sensation was... uh, a bit of a bump against his chest.

I have to say, this woman, Shen Wei, really had the goods!

Before Wang An could speak, Shen Wei covered his mouth with her hand, grabbed his arm, and led him straight into the side room.

Only after the two entered the room did Shen Wei pout and act spoiled, saying

"You haven't touched me in over a month. I've missed you."

To put it plainly, this sentence from Shen Wei was like an aphrodisiac, instantly making Wang An feel as if his heart were melting.

However, Wang An resisted the urge to get down to business immediately and asked

"Where did you get these clothes? Why have I never seen you wear them before?"

Shen Wei said with a face full of smiles

"How is it? Does this skirt look good on me?"

Wang An didn't lie at all as he grinned lustfully

"Beautiful, exceptionally beautiful. Not only is it beautiful, it's incredibly seductive, hahaha!"

Hearing this, Shen Wei was very pleased. She looked down affectionately at her shirt and skirt and said

"These are actually the clothes from when I went to the countryside. They're a bit tight now."

Wang An nodded and said

"That tightness is exactly what makes it great, hahahaha!"

As he spoke, Wang An lifted Shen Wei directly onto the kang.

In this season, everyone dressed lightly, so in less than ten seconds, the two of them met in complete honesty.

A long while later, the two lay side by side on the kang, clearly satisfied with each other.

Actually, when it came to matters of men and women, Wang An was somewhat perverted, though his perversion was closely linked to his laziness.

The most obvious manifestation was that Wang An liked to lie there and admire the scenery.

Wang An felt that only the dual enjoyment of the body and the eyes constituted true pleasure.

So, after a brief rest, Wang An lay there, watching the scene of milky-white snow-peaks crashing back and forth.

It must be said that this scene was truly a feast for the eyes.

Afterward, Wang An asked casually, as if just chatting

"How is your mother-in-law doing now? Any signs of recovery?"

The current Wang An no longer dared to view people's fates based on the trajectory of his previous life.

Mainly because Wang An's rebirth had already changed many people's destinies.

Simply put, people who should have died didn't, and people who shouldn't have died had gone to see the Buddha early.

Hearing this, Shen Wei said in a very flat tone

"Not great. She just sleeps all day now, and sometimes she's delirious."

Wang An nodded and didn't press further.

Because Wang An discovered that he truly hadn't influenced this old lady's fate.

If nothing unexpected happened, Shen Wei's mother-in-law would likely pass away this winter, just as she had in Wang An's previous life.

Although Wang An didn't ask more, he found himself respecting Shen Wei more and more.

To be honest, as a widow, Shen Wei had no obligation to take care of her mother-in-law for such a long period.

As the old saying goes, "there are no filial sons by the bed of a long-term illness," let alone the fact that there was not a single drop of blood relation between the two of them.

The fact that Shen Wei could do this proved she was a very kind-hearted person.

After dressing himself, Wang An left Shen Wei's house.

It must be said that Wang An was most relaxed when fooling around with Shen Wei, and the reason was that no matter how they played, he didn't have to worry about her getting pregnant.

For a man, could there be anything more worry-free than this?

After leaving Shen Wei's house, Wang An didn't go straight home. Instead, he wandered around again before going to check on the progress of the new house's renovation.

Indeed, renovation was something that changed day by day.

By now, the ceilings of the two houses were completely nailed in, and the floor heating system and its fuel room were finished. The masons were currently building the partition walls and the stoves.

The carpenters had also finished cutting all the materials for the windows and doors; they were currently in the process of assembling the windows. It was estimated that in another day or two, the doors for each room would be assembled.

The reason for using the word "assemble" was that the windows at this time were not only made of wood but also used mortise-and-tenon joints.

Relatively speaking, the work the carpenters had to do did take more time than the work of the masons.

However, Wang An had to go shopping again for a very important renovation material: glass.

Besides glass, it was time to buy white lime. For skimming the walls at this time, white lime was the best material, and Wang An naturally wanted to use it.

The reason he hadn't bought it when he bought the cement was that before he could, Wu Dong and Wang Shuai had delivered the cement. Furthermore, white lime is used at the very end; if bought too early and stored in a damp environment, it would become waste.

Fortunately, the doors hadn't started being assembled yet, so there was still time to buy the glass, and there was even less rush for the white lime.

And so, unknowingly, time reached the third day of guarding the young seedlings...

Early in the morning, Wang Li arrived on horseback.

However, Wang An and Wang Li didn't go to the fields; instead, they waited at Wang An's house.

Sure enough, before 6:30 AM, the brothers Sun Xiangfeng and Sun Xiangwen returned from the fields.

Passing by Wang An's house, Sun Xiangfeng told Wang An that they no longer needed to go to the plot of crops that the four of them had been taking turns guarding.
