Chapter 7

Here we go again!!

Li Yao felt annoyed, thinking that this woman was teasing him on purpose again. He was about to push her away when he found that her body was burning hot.

He raised his hand and touched her forehead. It turned out that she had a fever.

Li Yao pursed his lips, pushed her away, and pulled his thin quilt to cover her.

He got out of bed, put on his clothes, put on his shoes and went out.

After a long while, he returned to the house with a medicine bag wrapped in straw paper in his hand.

He poured a cup of warm water, opened the medicine bag, took out a pill, woke Ning Jia up and asked her to take the medicine.

Ning Jia was dizzy with fever and took the antipyretic medicine from Li Yao’s hand.

When her soft and hot lips touched Li Yao’s palm, Li Yao felt a strange feeling in his heart.

After being single for twenty-two years, this was the first time I touched a woman’s lips.

It feels like dough, but much softer than dough…

While he was still thinking about all sorts of things, Ning Jia had already finished drinking the water and fell asleep.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Li Yao took off his clothes and lay down again.

His family had many brothers and was very poor, so when he got married he only had this thin quilt.

Now that Ning Jia has covered it up, he has nothing to cover.

After lying down for a while, he felt that this house was not as cold as in the mountains. As a grown man, he was stronger than a woman, so it seemed that not covering himself with a blanket was not a big problem.

He covered Ning Jia with the sheet that she had been covering herself with earlier and was about to close his eyes and go to sleep.

Suddenly, his body felt heavy and the thin quilt was back on him.

The person who came with the quilt was Ning Jia.

Not knowing if she was still cold, she unconsciously struggled to get closer to his arms.

Li Yao hesitated and did not push her away, which was considered as tacit approval of her action.

He thought she would gradually calm down if she snuggled into his arms, but he was wrong!

Totally wrong!

I don’t know what she dreamed about, but her little hands kept touching his vest, rubbing back and forth repeatedly.

What surprised Li Yao even more was that her hands were not rough at all, but were warm and smooth, leaving a tingling sensation wherever they touched.

Li Yao felt uneasy when she touched him, and his chest felt like it was beating like a drum.

If he didn’t know that she was running a high fever and was confused, he would have really thought she did it on purpose.

Ning Jia’s hands were never idle. He touched his chest muscles for a long time, then moved to his abdomen, rubbing those muscles for a long time.

Finally, the hand went straight down.

“Hiss—” Li Yao quickly raised his hand and grabbed her dishonest hand, holding it tightly, and whispered, “Ning Jia, go to sleep! If you don’t behave again, I’ll throw you out!”

Ning Jia seemed to understand what he said and stopped moving. After a while, he became completely quiet.

Li Yao, on the other hand, was in real trouble this time. It felt like there was a small flame burning in his heart for most of the night, and it took a lot of effort to calm it down.

Li Yao sighed softly. Finally, he could go to sleep.

In the middle of the night, he found that Ning Jia was sweating profusely, so he wiped her dry with a handkerchief, wrapped her in the quilt, and moved to the other end of the kang wrapped in the quilt.

Oh oh oh——

The crowing of the rooster awakens a new day.

Ning Jia opened her eyes and felt relaxed. She knew she had a fever last night, and she vaguely remembered Li Yao feeding her medicine.

Not bad, not bad.

Although this man hated her, he still took care of her.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curved up, and while Li Yao was still asleep, she looked at him carefully again.

Looking at his strong and deep facial features, it’s no wonder that the original owner was so bewitched and went to such lengths to get him.

After admiring the “Sleeping Beauty” for a while, Ning Jia felt her stomach protesting again.

She went to sleep as soon as she came back yesterday afternoon and didn’t even have dinner. It would be strange if she wasn’t hungry now.

She decided to go to the kitchen to make breakfast, if for no other reason than to fill her own appetite.

What a horrible author. I don’t know what kind of mentality he had to write Ning Jia in such a terrible way.

Not only does she not get the love from her husband, but she also has to deal with such a vicious old woman who doesn’t even take good care of her health.

Either fainted or had a fever!

It’s really killing me!

Living in the 21st century, she is full of energy and spends most of her time at the gym besides working.

How did she get that impressive figure? Apart from the part her mother gave her, the rest was all developed by her!

While complaining about the author in his heart, Ning Jia opened the door.

As soon as she took a step forward, she saw the door opposite her open and An Ye came out of the house, holding his waist.

While the rest of the family was still asleep, the two of them quickly got together.

“Jia Jia, come on, eat this.” An Ye took out two biscuits from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

“Where did this come from?” Ning Jia knew very well that Li Xu was also very poor, so where did he get the money to buy the cookies?

“I stole it last night.” An Ye lowered his voice and said, “The third and fourth sons came back from town yesterday and brought a bag of peach biscuits for the old lady. I stole it when the old lady wasn’t paying attention.”

Ning Jia couldn’t help but burst out laughing: “Ye Ye, you are so wicked, I like you so much.”

“Eat quickly.” An Ye urged, “Don’t let the old lady find out. She doesn’t know anything yet.”

“Then I won’t be polite.” Ning Jia took a bite, and the sweet taste instantly filled the tip of his tongue.

Although this thing is far inferior to the cakes of the 21st century, it is very difficult to eat it now.

“Thank you, Ye Ye, you eat it too.” Ning Jia broke off a piece and put it to An Ye’s mouth.

Good girlfriends are meant to share.

“I won’t eat. You should eat quickly. You need it more than I need it now.”

“Wow, Ye Ye, I’m so touched.” Ning Jia hugged An Ye, “When we make money, I will make sure you eat peach cakes every day until you vomit!”

“I believe you!” An Ye grinned, “Let’s go to the kitchen. I’ll cook for you.”

“Uh-huh.”

When Old Mrs. Xu got up from the bed, she heard some noise in the kitchen.

She quickly pushed open the kitchen door and looked, and saw Ning Jia and An Ye cooking together.

“Wow, this is the first time ever! I thought I was seeing things, but you two are cooking together!”

“She is such a lazy person. She goes into the kitchen to cook so early in the morning. Who knows if she is cheating? I have to keep an eye on her!” Ning Jia said quickly.

“Tsk!” An Ye snorted coldly, “That sounds nice, but I think you are looking for an opportunity to steal some food. Don’t worry, I’m here, and not even a crumb of the pancake can get into your mouth before mealtime.”

When Old Mrs. Xu saw that her two daughters-in-law were fighting again, she became happy.

Pinch it, pinch it well!

With the two of them supervising each other, she will have less worries in the future.

“Pass me that corn flour.” Ning Jia ordered An Ye, “I can’t reach it.”

An Ye rolled his eyes at her and said, “You are so useless. I’d rather you die of stupidity.”

“Can you suffocate to death if you don’t talk with that broken mouth of yours?” Ning Jia took the corn noodles and scooped a big spoonful of it as if in revenge.

“Oh, dig less! The work today is not tiring, so make the rice a little thinner!” Old Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her food.

An Ye, who was cutting pickles, slammed the knife into the chopping board. Ning Jia threw the enamel bowl away and put his hands on his hips. Both of them stared at the old lady at the same time.

“Why don’t you come!”

“Why don’t you come!”

Both of them blurted out at the same time.

Old Mrs. Xu pursed her lips, turned around and walked out.

She deeply suspected that her two sons did not marry two wives, but two powder kegs.

As soon as Old Mrs. Xu left, Ning Jia and An Ye sat down again.

“Ye Ye, do you still remember the incident in the book? About Lin Xiaoxi…”

“Speak more quietly.” An Ye moved closer to her, accidentally revealing his neck covered with bruises.

Ning Jia caught a glimpse of it at a glance, and couldn’t help but raise his hand to poke it, teasing: “You really have no restraint at all! I finally know how you got your name.”

“Ah?” An Ye was stunned. “What does this have to do with my name?”

“It’s a party every night! Ye Ye, can you handle this?”

An Ye: “There are only tired cows, but no plowed fields! Li Xu, that guy, is doing a good job.”

Ning Jia: “Tsk tsk tsk.”

An Ye looked at Ning Jia sympathetically and said, “I’m sorry you’ve been wronged. Your stone hasn’t paid any attention to you yet?”

Ning Jia smiled and said, “No. But I dreamed of a male model last night. His figure… was simply drool-worthy, his chest and abdominal muscles were all hard, what a pity…”

“What a pity?” An Ye asked.

Ning Jia chuckled: “Nothing. How did we get off topic? Let’s get down to business.”

“What’s up?”

“Fish pond.” Ning Jia whispered, “Do you still remember that fish pond?”

An Ye’s eyes lit up: “Now that you mention it, I remember that Lin Xiaoxi made money in the early days by relying on that fish pond!”

“Yes! How about it? When should we go check it out?”

“Okay, as soon as possible, find a time in the next one or two days.”

Ning Jia stretched out her finger and made a pinky promise with her: “It’s a deal.”
