Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 211: This Person Shouldn’t Have Idle Time

Aunt Guo glanced at Su Xiaoxiao’s state and nodded with a smile. "Alright, you two go make the phone call and digest a bit."

But then she looked at Jiang Yexun and added, "Bring your bicycle. If Xiaoxiao gets tired, you can ride and carry her."

"Okay." Jiang Yexun responded lightly and went to get the bicycle.

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to refuse, but with the journey taking over an hour each way, she didn’t have a valid reason to decline. She could only swallow her words silently.

Yet, she felt a bit regretful. Holding onto a bicycle, there wouldn’t be any chance to hold hands or do something.

As soon as Jiang Yexun stepped out, a biting north wind greeted them, causing Su Xiaoxiao to immediately bury her neck in her scarf. She stuffed her hands into her pockets, even pulling her sleeves inside to prevent any wind from sneaking in.

As for the colorful thoughts in her mind, they were instantly blown away, leaving her with nothing.

Watching her shiver from the cold, Jiang Yexun felt a pang of heartache. "Maybe I should go alone. It only takes half an hour to ride there and back. You can stay inside and rest."

"No, sitting on the kang all day makes people stiff." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head in refusal. Her stomach was genuinely uncomfortable; if she didn’t move, she might end up vomiting.

Seeing he couldn’t persuade her, Jiang Yexun reluctantly pushed the bike, accompanying her to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The outside was freezing, but the cooperative was warm, with several women sitting inside chatting. When they entered, all eyes were fixed on them, unwavering.

"Little Jiang, your wife is really well-nurtured, so fair and tender," one of the women said with a smile.

Jiang Yexun furrowed his brows. "It’s not because I’ve nurtured her well; it’s her parents."

What did he nurture? Xiaoxiao had money and status herself; in fact, he faced a lot of trouble because of the Jiang family.

"That’s right. Xiaoxiao is the most beautiful and well-off among our group of young educated youths. You’re really lucky," another woman chimed in, nodding in agreement. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Indeed, Jiang Yexun took good care of his wife, but he also faced a lot of trouble because of it.

The Jiang family had experienced a series of unfortunate events this year, with the son’s accident, the daughter-in-law’s incident, and even the elder son losing his position as the team leader. Now, with the second son and his wife gone, the future looked bleak.

The women sighed inwardly, but knowing Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao had issues with the Jiang family, they didn’t dare mention it, afraid of upsetting them.

Jiang Yexun nodded in agreement and went to make the phone call to his brother-in-law.

On the other end of the line, Hua Shoucheng, upon hearing that Jiang Quansheng’s wife had killed Jiang Quansheng, felt a chill run down his spine.

He silently resolved to treat his wife better from now on.

However, when he heard about attending the funeral back at the village, his brow furrowed even tighter.

Before Jiang Yexun could say much, he immediately said, "I’ll go alone. Your sister is pregnant, and she needs to maintain a good mood every day. That scoundrel doesn’t deserve her presence at his funeral. Besides, the Jiang family’s situation is troublesome; if there’s a fight at the burial tomorrow, it wouldn’t be good for your sister."

"Yeah, that’s what we were thinking," Jiang Yexun agreed.

"I’ll go after work today and ask for a day off tomorrow," Hua Shoucheng said, reluctant to come to Hongfeng Brigade early.

After Jiang Yexun agreed, he hung up the phone.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao standing beside him. "Is there anything you want to buy?"

"No," Su Xiaoxiao shook her head.

Their house was already filled with things they couldn’t finish. They didn’t need to buy anything.

Jiang Yexun glanced around the cooperative and went to the counter. "Hello, please give me five cans of Snowflake Lotion."

"Five cans?" The shopkeeper was taken aback.

Snowflake Lotion cost one yuan and fifty cents per can and required ration tickets.

Five cans meant spending eight yuan and seventy-five cents. Was he really willing to spend that much?!

"Yeah," Jiang Yexun nodded, then took out the money and tickets from his pocket.

His mother and Su Xiaoxiao used Snowflake Lotion after bathing. He even tried it himself. In previous winters, his skin would dry and peel, but using this had greatly improved it.

As a man, he didn’t need to spend money on this, but for his mother and Su Xiaoxiao, it was a necessary expense.

After receiving the lotion and the receipt, Jiang Yexun put them in his bag and left the cooperative with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Is your stomach still uncomfortable?" He asked, watching the young girl beside him with a hint of self-blame.

He shouldn’t have fed Su Xiaoxiao so much at once. Next time, he’d have to make her eat less but more frequently.

"It’s not uncomfortable anymore," Su Xiaoxiao shook her head obediently.

"Shall I ride the bike and take you back?" Jiang Yexun asked softly.

"Okay," Su Xiaoxiao felt the outside was too cold, and she just wanted to return to the warm kang as soon as possible.

But as she sat on the back of Jiang Yexun’s bike, the cold wind hit her face, making her feel that it might have been better to walk back slowly.

However, seeing that Jiang Yexun didn’t seem to notice anything different, she could only swallow her words and quietly cover her ears with her hands.

In her past life, after marrying Jiang Yexun, she hardly ever went out. Naturally, she didn’t know how cold winters in the Northeast could be.

In her past life, even though she stayed indoors all day, she never felt bored because Jiang Yexun had brought her a plethora of books. These were novels that were banned in that era. For many years after her death, she felt that reading these romance-filled novels was why she couldn’t bear the countryside or Jiang Yexun, who only wanted to make sure she had enough to eat and wear.

She even felt that as long as they were in the same place and he looked at her with those fiery eyes, it was a form of condescension. But wasn’t risking being discovered and publicly criticized, or even sent to a labor farm, a kind of romance? When others couldn’t afford fine grains or see a morsel of meat for months, he would endure the gossip from his father and two brothers’ families to bring her various meat dishes and fine rice every day. Wasn’t that good enough?

Looking back, she realized that in her previous life, she had been too well-fed and idle, thinking too much and not appreciating the person in front of her.

When Jiang Yexun came in after parking his bicycle, he saw his little sweetheart with her head bowed, looking downcast. Curiously, he asked, "What’s wrong? Are you thinking about something unhappy?"

"Just feeling sorry for you, having to go into the mountains to hunt in such cold weather," Su Xiaoxiao said, wrapping her arms around Jiang Yexun’s waist and resting her head on his chest.
