After listening to Axiu's question, Chunmei said disdainfully:
"Are you talking about the scholar named Wang? He is as thin as a bamboo pole and will be blown away by a gust of wind. I don't like him. I scolded him severely last winter. I guess I knew there was no chance, so I beat him I quit and pursued others."
A Xiu agreed: "That Scholar Wang is indeed a bit thin and weak. It feels like he is powerless to restrain a chicken as mentioned in the book."
"I don't know about the power of tying a chicken or the power of tying a duck, but I feel that he may not be as strong as me. So why should I marry such a man? If I want to find a man like Zhu Renxia."
Axiu chuckled: "My husband is indeed a good husband. He is handsome and tall. He also knows how to care for others, and he is not bothered at all."
"You know he doesn't care, why do you keep trying to get me to be his concubine?" Chunmei exuded a sour smell of jealousy again.
Axiu explained seriously: "I don't dare to have sex when I'm pregnant, because I'm afraid that I'll have fetal gas. I also feel sorry for my husband who is holding it in alone, and I'm also worried that others will stab me in the back and call me a jealous woman, so I want my husband to accept it." You are my concubine, this is called keeping the rich water from other people's fields."
"Sigh... But you don't want your man's fat water to flow into my field." Chunmei sighed quietly.
Axiu said with relief: "When my uncle and grandpa were alive, they often said that haste makes waste, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let's do it step by step. I still have six or seven months to give birth, plus I can't have sex after giving birth. My husband will definitely not be able to survive that long, you will definitely have a chance."
Chunmei pursed her lips and suddenly said with a bad smile: "Axiu, tell the truth, is your man very young? Or it will be over soon, otherwise why would he not be interested in me at all?"
"no!"
Jiang Axiu pouted and traced Chunmei's belly with her fingers, "My husband is not young, he is so long. And the time is not short, at least it takes one stick of incense."
"Tsk tsk..."
Chunmei licked her lips, her heart full of envy, jealousy and hatred, "Why didn't I kill you? Go to sleep!"
"Well, sleep."
Axiu picked up the cattail leaf fan, shook it, and extinguished the kerosene lamp hanging on the bedside.
Not long after, Axiu started snoring evenly.
Chunmei tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she quietly got out of bed with her clothes on, pulled on her cloth shoes and quietly went out to Zhu Renxia's door.
Chunmei guessed that Zhu Renxia had to go out for convenience after drinking so much, right? If he forgot to lock the door, she would just take the opportunity to get into his bed and throw herself into his arms.
But to Chunmei's disappointment, the door was jammed shut, and Zhu Renxia's snoring kept coming from inside.
"Brother Xia, are you asleep?"
Chunmei felt a little itchy, so she called the door shamelessly, "Brother Xia, tonight's food is a bit salty, I'll bring you water."
I knocked several times in succession, but there was no response in the house.
Chunmei had no choice but to return to the master bedroom angrily, got into bed again, and slept next to Axiu.
Third watch time.
Jiang Xiaoyu knocked on Sanmei's window.
"Xiaoyu, why are you here again?"
Shi Sanmei, who was in a daze, couldn't laugh or cry.
"Open the window, it's a bit cold tonight."
Jiang Xiaoyu stood outside the back window and kept rubbing his hands.
It turned out that Jiang Xiaoyu pretended to go home after dinner at Shi's house and stayed up until the third watch, which was about eleven o'clock in later generations. After the neighbors fell asleep, he quietly came back and knocked on his fiancée's window.
Shi Sanmei had no choice but to open the window and let Jiang Xiaoyu climb in.
Shi Sanmei lives on the west side of the first floor, which happens to have a rear window.
Her father Shi Laohan and her mother lived on the east side, separated by a living room, and her two younger brothers lived on the second floor, so Jiang Xiaoyu could harass Shi Sanmei with confidence.
"You come here and sneak through my window if you have nothing to do. Sooner or later, the neighbors will find out. You can't wait until we get married..." Shi Sanmei lowered her voice and scolded softly.
"If you find out, just find out. You are my wife, what should I be afraid of?"
Jiang Xiaoyu hugged Shi Sanmei as soon as he entered the room, "I've been here so many times and you haven't promised me. You don't love me at all."
"Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't agree with you, but it's because you will have a baby if you do that."
Shi Sanmei had her own bottom line. She only allowed Jiang Xiaoyu to take action, but did not let him take off her pants. "After we get married, I will be yours. It's not you who has the final say."
Jiang Xiaoyu hugged his wife and sat beside the bed, lowering his voice and saying, "I told my sister and brother-in-law that you are already two months pregnant."
"ah?"
Shi Sanmei was so frightened that she almost screamed.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaoyu had quick eyes and quick hands. He closed his mouth and blocked his wife's lips, "Don't scream, lest your parents hear."
Shi Sanmei was a little angry, broke away from Jiang Xiaoyu's arms, and sat sulking: "If you were afraid that my parents would hear, you wouldn't come to climb through my window every now and then at night."
Jiang Xiaoyu hugged Shi Sanmei again with a playful smile: "You know it once you know it, maybe your parents are waiting to have their grandson!"
"Let me go, I'm angry."
Shi Sanmei gave Jiang Xiaoyu a rare slap in the face, "You come and climb into my window, and I will open it for you every time. But why did you tell your sister and brother-in-law that I was pregnant? If the news spread, the neighbors would not laugh. Am I not a woman?"
"No, only my sister and brother-in-law know about this."
Jiang Xiaoyu's face was full of disapproval, "Besides, if I didn't say this, my sister and brother-in-law wouldn't be in a hurry to arrange the wedding for me."
Shi Sanmei's expression improved slightly: "I'm only fourteen years old and you're only thirteen. Why are you in such a hurry to get married?"
"I want to be a father soon!" Jiang Xiaoyu started to feel restless again while holding his third sister's hand.
Shi Sanmei sighed: "Xiaoyu, you haven't grown up yet. I really doubt whether you can support a family? Tell me, your brother-in-law asked you to go to school and you didn't go..."
"I don't have the talent for reading. I get dazzled when I look at the dense text." Jiang Xiaoyu tried his best to argue.
"It's okay if you don't want to study. My parents can't read, and I can't read either."
Shi Sanmei's tone softened, and she patiently persuaded Jiang Xiaoyu, "Then you can go to the school to practice, practice martial arts with Uncle San, and earn work points every day."
"I'm only thirteen years old. It's not yet time to become a Minzhuang. The minimum age for Minzhuang in our Chang'an Town is fifteen."
"But if you don't study, what are you going to do if you don't work for the people? Carrying a fishing rod and fishing for shrimps every day, don't you think you're wasting your youth?"
Jiang Xiaoyu rolled his eyes: "Don't waste it. How interesting is fishing?"
Shi Sanmei was a little angry again and threw away Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, "Since fishing is interesting, then you go fishing and don't come to me."
"I call this a work-rest balance."
Jiang Xiaoyu shamelessly put his palms on his wife's waist again, "Besides, I deliver fish to your family every day. If I don't go fishing, where will you eat such delicious river food?"
Shi Sanmei snorted: "To tell you the truth, our family almost vomited after eating fish! If we weren't afraid of waste, I would even chop up the fish you caught and feed it to the dog."
"..."
Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been hit, and he stood up angrily, "Do you dislike the fish I caught so much?"
Seeing this, Shi Sanmei felt a little soft-hearted: "Little fish, I don't dislike the fish you catch, I don't want to see you doing nothing like this every day. Besides, even if it is dragon meat, you will get tired of it if you eat it every day. You can’t let us eat fish every day, right?”
"OK."
Jiang Xiaoyu scratched his head, "Then I will touch shrimp tomorrow and not eat fish."
"..."
Shi Sanmei pretended to pinch her friend, "Do you know how to catch shrimps besides fishing?"
"I can also catch turtles."
Jiang Xiaoyu had an idea, "I'm going to catch some loaches and turtles tomorrow."
Shi Sanmei couldn't help but tears welling up in her eyes: "Xiaoyu, I regret agreeing to this marriage now. You are just doing nothing, will you be able to support me and my children in the future?"
"Of course!"
Jiang Xiaoyu raised his head and was unconvinced, "My brother-in-law is the mayor of the town, and my sister manages the warehouse. How can I not eat?"
"Are you just relying on your sister and brother-in-law to make ends meet?"
Shi Sanmei is becoming more and more disappointed with this fiancé. Although he is still young, he is too naughty. Will marrying such a person really lead to happiness in the future?
Jiang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment, sniffed and said, "I can also earn work points, but I have to wait until after I turn fifteen."
"Let's go!"
Shi Sanmei's face turned completely cold, "I want to consider whether I should ask my father to find the mayor to cancel the marriage."
