Maybe tomorrow Tian will go to the Li family to make trouble.

　　Unexpectedly, Tian didn’t stop beating the child so quickly today. Even after the child had washed up and gone to bed on the kang, Tian was still scolding him. However, this time she didn’t scold Niu Dan, but Daniu. Zhang Zhuzi might have been protecting the child, so he said something, and Tian started scolding Zhang Zhuzi again.

　　As night fell, the village became quiet and so cold that even the dogs didn’t bark, so Tian’s voice seemed particularly loud.

　　”Husband, are you unable to sleep because of the noise?” Li Zhouzhou asked.

　　Gu Zhao pricked up his ears to listen to the commotion, but it was really far away and he couldn’t hear anything clearly, but Zhou Zhou covered his ears.

　　”Go to sleep, husband.”

　　Gu Zhao: …

　　In order to maintain his image as a good and green tea boy in his wife’s heart, Gu Zhao could only nod his head regretfully. He could not hear clearly anyway, but he knew it was about the chicken. Besides, if someone in the village lost a needle, it would become a topic of conversation the next day, so there was no need to worry about not hearing gossip.

　　So Gu Zhao leaned obediently on his wife’s arms and chest.

　　Li Zhouzhou loved his handsome young husband very much. He pulled the quilt again, covering him tightly so that no wind could get through, and then closed his eyes.

　　Not long after he fell asleep, he heard Tian’s loud howling from afar. Li Zhouzhou was awakened. As soon as he moved, his husband’s hand around his waist patted him.

　　”My dear wife, don’t be afraid.”

　　His husband’s voice was still half asleep. Li Zhouzhou felt happy and didn’t feel unhappy about being woken up.

　　Early the next morning.

　　After breakfast, the Li family went about their business. Yesterday at dinner, Li Da heard his son-in-law say that drinking big bone and red date soup is good for the body, especially for childbirth. Since he had nothing to do, he went to the mountains to collect firewood after breakfast.

　　There is a firewood room at home, so there is no need to worry about the firewood being stored away, and it can also be used to heat the kang.

　　Li Da would go out with the basket on his back and bring back a basket of pig grass, so Zhou Zhou didn’t have to do any work.

　　Li Zhouzhou carried a shoulder pole and his husband carried an empty bucket, and they went to the river to fetch water, which was also a morning habit. Li Zhouzhou wanted to say that the weather was getting colder and his husband didn’t need to accompany him, but his husband said that this was also a form of exercise, and on the way he also told him about the imperial examination.

　　”…If it’s the spring exam, it’s too cold to wear a padded jacket, only a single layer of clothing. You’ll be locked in a small cubicle, eating and sleeping in there for three days, and you’ll have to do exams. People with a weak body won’t be able to stand it.” Gu Zhao said.

　　Li Zhouzhou had never heard of this before. “It turns out that it is so hard.”

　　”It’s not hard, it’s not hard compared to the work at home.” Not to mention the work in the fields. So, to have fame is to turn things around, one heaven and one earth.

　　When they got to the river, there were still people fetching water. When they saw Li Zhouzhou, someone said, “Zhouzhou, the Zhang family didn’t cause any trouble for you, did they?”

　　”What’s the matter?” Li Zhouzhou took the bucket from his husband’s hand, squatted down and started to fetch water.

　　The man said, “Haven’t you heard? The Zhang family had such a big quarrel yesterday.” He didn’t keep the suspense and said directly, “I heard it clearly. Niu Dan suffocated the chicken to death. The Zhang family beat and scolded Niu Dan, and then she scolded you, and said that she wanted you to compensate for her chicken…”

　　”Niu Dan suffocated the chicken to death?” Li Zhouzhou stopped what he was doing. Niu Dan howled last night, and he thought it was Niu Dan who was clamoring for meat, and the Zhang family was beating the child, so he didn’t hear it clearly.

　　”Be careful, they’re causing trouble for the chicken.”

　　The water was ready, but Gu Zhao was present, so it was difficult to learn it carefully for Li Zhouzhou to hear. I couldn’t tell why, maybe Gu Zhao was a scholar, she felt embarrassed when she talked about the excitement.

　　”Husband, you are right.” Li Zhouzhou carried the shoulder pole.

　　Gu Zhao: “I can’t give the chicken.”

　　”Of course not. Why should I give her a chicken for free?” Li Zhouzhou said confidently, but when he saw that his husband was still there, he stopped being aggressive again. He was afraid that his husband would not like him doing this.

　　Gu Zhao just felt that Zhou Zhou was cute and lively.

　　There is no one who doesn’t lose his temper or get angry. That person is just dough.

　　After returning home, Li Zhouzhou filled the water tank with water and did not wash clothes in the morning. What if he left and his husband was alone at home? If the Zhang family came to ask for chickens, his husband would not be able to handle it. He could not let his husband be scolded.

　　Li Zhouzhou didn’t like to listen to gossip in the village, and rarely quarreled with others, mainly because he couldn’t say bad words, and he didn’t want to learn. He was kneading dough at this time. The family had finished eating steamed buns. He had planned to steam them in the afternoon, but he might as well steam them now. While working, Li Zhouzhou thought in his mind that if the Zhang family dared to scold his husband, he would definitely scold them back.
