Chapter 101 – Jealousy (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“What?” Li Man thought she had misheard. “What does this have to do with oldest brother and Little Five? Those two aren’t like you guys. Is wife something that you can randomly call out?”
Li Shu very innocently said, “I’m not. If you don’t like me calling you wife, I’ll call you something else. Wife, what do you want me to say instead?”
“Say…” His words had confused Li Man for a moment. After shaking her she said, “This issue isn’t how you’re addressing me, it’s…”
“What is it?” Li Shu looked at her in puzzlement. “Wife, you don’t need to be anxious. You can take you time to think. I’ll wait and listen to all of it.”
“Aiya.” Li Man was vexed enough that it felt as if her tongue tied up in knots. She finally found the right words to explain. “Li Shu, listen to me. You know what wife means, right? Only a husband can call his wife that. So, don’t call me that anymore. Other than wife, you can call me whatever you want.”
“But, you are my wife.” Looking as if he had been wounded, Li Shu’s face was scrunched up as he followed after her as she headed outside.
At the very least, he should only call her wife after they got married. If they had already gotten married, why wouldn’t they be sleeping in the same hut? Li Man very scornfully thought Li Shu must have lost his mind from wanting a wife too much. Oh, no, that wasn’t correct. It was that all three of these men had lost their minds. Right, men their ages would have normally gotten married by now in ancient times.
But, they couldn’t address her as wife just because they wanted one, ah.
Li Man angrily snorted. When she went outside, she saw that Li Mo was sitting on a small stool underneath the eaves and weaving bamboo. As for Li Hua and Little Five, they were crouched down next to him and acting as assistants.
To be honest, Li Man felt an instinctive sense of respect towards Li Mo. It wasn’t just because he was the head of the household and he had saved her once, it was more from the fact that he gave off a calm and prudent feeling that made people feel that he could be relied on. With him here, her heart felt at ease.
Li Man crouched down by Li Mo’s side and found something to ask about, “Why are you weaving that?”
Li Mo’s movements noticeably slowed down. He answered, “It’ll be used for the roof. This will be the bottom layer, and some straw will be put on top of it. This will help prevent leaks.”
Li Man nodded. “Oh, you’ve work hard.” She felt very moved when she saw that his hair was wet, and the bamboo had cut his large hands in several spots.
Li Man turned around and went inside. She brought back a towel that she used to dry her hair and presented it to Li Mo. “Here, use this to dry your hair. You’ll be more likely to get a headache when the wind blows by with your hair being so wet.”
Li Mo stared at that clean piece of cloth. It exuded a grassy fragrance. He felt a bit overwhelmed by her favor. He stretched his hand out, but there was a lot of muddy water on his hands, so he hurriedly took his hand back. “It’s okay. I’m used to it.”
“Come on, use it to dry off. It won’t be good if you catch a cold.” She had learned her lesson in this area. When she was younger, she had heard that using a blow dryer would damage her hair. And so, every time she washed her hair, she would just let it air dry, even in the middle of winter. Sometimes, she would go to sleep with her wet hair draped over her shoulders. After a long time of doing this, she ended up getting serious migraines. So regretful, ah.
Li Hua looked at Li Man with a daze expression, then he looked at his oldest brother. In the end, he said in a low voice, “Oldest brother, just go along with it.”
“No need, my hands are dirty.” Li Mo rubbed his hands together and didn’t take it.
Seeing this sight, Li Shu said to Li Man, “Wife, I’m wet from the rain too. Look, my hair is wet too. Help me dry my hair.”
