Chapter 37 : Sack

Jiang Li’s eyes were filled with tears. Li Chunlan hugged her and said, “Mom, look at me. Now I look like I’m getting married!”

Li Chunlan did not return that night and stayed with Jiang Li.

That night, the two of them tossed and turned in bed. Li Chunlan remembered the hint her mother had given her before leaving. Her face turned red, and after a long while, she spoke.

“Lizi, what? My mom told me to tell you, on your wedding night, don’t let the man get carried away and do something reckless, just once is enough…”

“You have to coax him when he uses brute force, otherwise, the woman will suffer the consequences.”

Li Chunlan said this quickly, then buried her head in the quilt and stayed silent.

Jiang Li’s mood was already fluctuating, and her face turned hot upon hearing this. “Xiaolan, why are you telling everything to others!”

“You! I told you this out of kindness, but you laughed at me. I won’t say anything more.”

Jiang Li quickly pulled her close to comfort her. “Okay, okay, Xiaolan, my dear sister, I won’t say anything. I’ll remember what you said.”

As an avid Internet user in her previous life, Jiang Li had seen everything, even the adult versions, but she wouldn’t tell Li Chunlan about that.

The two whispered for a while, and Li Chunlan fell into a deep sleep.

Jiang Li still couldn’t sleep. Boom! Something hit the window. Jiang Li’s heart instantly skipped a beat. “Who?”

“Lizi, it’s me.”

A familiar male voice, deep and pleasant, called out. Jiang Li carefully opened the window. The bright moonlight revealed Qi Shaoqiang’s extraordinary face.

Seeing Jiang Li, Qi Shaoqiang smiled and said, “You didn’t fall asleep either?”

Jiang Li nodded, “What about you? Why don’t you sleep and come out to look at the moon?”

“I’m not here to look at the moon, I’m here to see you.” Qi Shaoqiang extended his hand through the window, gently holding Jiang Li’s fingers resting on the windowsill, and then rubbed her palm gently.

Jiang Li’s heart was stirred by this slight touch, and her heartbeat began to race.

Qi Shaoqiang leaned in closer, his warm breath brushing against Jiang Li’s ear. “Don’t worry, we will get married, and I’ll treat you well.”

Jiang Li wanted to tease him, “What’s the best way?”

“I’ve been in the army for many years, and I’m good at housekeeping, so I’ll take care of all the housework. I’ll give you my salary when I get it, and you can spend it however you like. I won’t yell at you, and I’ll give in when we quarrel.”

He rubbed the back of Jiang Li’s soft head with his large palm, “Whatever you want to eat, I’ll make it for you if I can buy it. Okay?”

The corners of Jiang Li’s mouth curved higher. “That sounds pretty good.”

Under the moonlight, Jiang Li’s pale face was captivating, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower, which softened Qi Shaoqiang’s heart.

He took a deep breath, lifted her up, and set her on the windowsill. They gazed at each other, his eyes filled with burning intensity.

Jiang Li screamed, and then her mouth was sealed as Qi Shaoqiang kissed her forcefully.

Jiang Li was stunned. Having lived over 20 years in her past life, this was the first time she had ever kissed a man.

She smacked her lips, and it seemed to taste quite nice.

Qi Shaoqiang let her go, and his slightly calloused fingers brushed across her delicate face. Her pink lips had turned slightly red from his unfamiliarity and recklessness. “You’re so delicate. You turned red after just one kiss.”

Jiang Li was so angry she slapped him, but her hand was stiff, and her muscles were hard to touch.

Qi Shaoqiang looked at her with a smile, and these two actions were like tickling a kitten. Jiang Li looked pretty when she was angry, with her teeth and claws bared, which was quite charming.

The two of them stayed together for a while. Seeing Li Chunlan turning over in bed, Jiang Li was afraid she would wake up, so she quickly pushed her out and said, “I’m going to close the window.”

“Wait for me, I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

Qi Shaoqiang was reluctant to leave and turned back after walking two steps, but Jiang Li closed the window mercilessly. “This little heartless person.”

Walking back under the bright moonlight, the heat in Qi Shaoqiang’s chest gradually subsided.

It’s almost done. I can bring her home tomorrow.

Because he had come in the dark, Qi Shaoqiang was very careful when he returned. However, when he passed by a dilapidated house, he was attracted by the cursing and wailing coming from inside.

Er Laizi was lying on the bed, wailing. He had been beaten by Jiang Li. The barefoot doctor in Bailutang said that his knee joint was shattered and couldn’t be treated, so he suggested sending him to the county hospital.

Er Laizi’s father was a gambler. He had gambled away everything in the house and was often not home.

Er Laizi’s mother had no money, so she could only ask the barefoot doctor to buy her a few cheap medicines on credit and take them first.

Er Laizi’s mother only had this one son, and she treated him like the apple of her eye.

Seeing her son about to become lame, she couldn’t help but curse the culprit who beat him. “This Jiang Li vixen is shameless. She seduced a man and refuses to admit it. Why didn’t God send lightning to kill her for beating my child like this?”

“Mom, she was the one who seduced me, flirted with me, and asked me to go to her room in the middle of the night, but then she turned on me and beat me up.”

“Son, don’t worry. Mom will never let her have an easy time.”

“Why would a slut who’s been ridden by thousands of men marry an official? How could a jinx who brought bad luck to her parents be worthy of marrying into the city?”

Er Laizi’s mother’s lips twitched and her eyes revealed resentment. She was determined to come to the house tomorrow to make trouble and mess up this marriage.

Even if it didn’t work out, she would make sure to give Jiang Li a good scolding in front of her future husband. She’s a slut who seduces men. Whoever wants her will be cuckolded and will become a cuckold sooner or later.

“That Zhang Sanniang is not a good person either, an old slut who’s so old that she’s unrecognizable. Who would want to look at her two taels of meat? She even extorted a dollar from us. Shameless thing, you’ll be killed when you go out!”

After cursing Zhang Sanniang, Jiang Li, and the team leader Jiang Baoshan, Er Laizi’s mother felt relieved.

Qi Shaoqiang listened through the window and clenched his fists. So that’s what it was.

He picked up a stone and threw it at the window of Er Laizi’s house. Er Laizi’s mother was very angry and asked, “Who is it?”

Seeing Er Laizi’s mother coming out, Qi Shaoqiang climbed over the low courtyard wall, grabbed a rag bag filled with corn, pushed open the door, and placed the bag on Er Laizi’s head.
