Chapter 101 – Jealousy (2)
“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 . ”
