Fortunate Wife Chapter 88

Chapter 88 – The first night (7)

Li Man carefully shifted Little Five’s leg off before quietly burrowing out of her quilt . She only had her undergarments on, so she had to return to her own hut and put on the rest of her clothes before the men woke up .

After she quietly got out of bed, she realized that her shoes were missing . Oh, she didn’t have anything to put on her feet . Last night, Li Mo had carried her and her quilt over here .

Since she was a child, she had never walked barefoot . Moreover, it wasn’t like the floor of this hut had finished flooring . It was just dirt .

Sitting at one end of the bed, she continued to look at the ground and was at a loss on what to do next . Her brow furrowed .

In the middle of the bed, Li Yan suddenly turned over with a snort . His eyelashes were fluttering . He seemed as if he was about to wake up .

With her heart clenching in alarm, Li Man tumbled onto the ground . No longer caring about the coldness of the floor, she ran outside barefooted .

Behind her, Li Yan was sitting up on the bed . His gaze was full of amusement as he stared at the doorway . This girl was too thoughtless . She had rushed out of the hut without closing the door on her way out, and a cool breeze poured into the hut .

Just as he was thinking about this, a figure appeared by the doorway . It was Li Man, looking the same as before with her feet bare . She had rushed back here and was now closing the door in a flustered state .

Li Yan couldn’t resist bursting out in chuckles . What a silly girl .

Next to him, Li Hua let out a long sigh . He shifted a little bit and closed his eyes again .

Li Man thought that she had left the hut without anyone noticing . She was feeling glad that she had woken up early today as she returned to her own hut . Looking at the mess on her bed, she felt dejected . Fortunately, her clothes had been stored away in the wardrobe and hadn’t gotten soaked by the rain . She hastily put on her outer clothing, socks, and shoes .

Just as she finished dressing, she heard the sound of activity from the neighboring hut .

Actually, other than Little Five, the Li brothers hadn’t been able to sleep well last night . When Li Man woke up this morning, the four brothers had been startled away by the small amount of noise that she had made . It was only that when Li Shu wanted to sit up and greet his wife, Li Mo had grabbed hold of his arm and stopped him . As a result, he could only close his eyes and pretend to be asleep .

Once Li Man had left the hut, the four brothers weren’t able to continue lying in bed .

There was a rustling sound as Li Shu sat up, covered himself with his outer clothing, and anxiously got out of bed .

Li Mo also sat up and looked at him with a deep gaze . “What are you off to do?”

“I ate too much last night . I’m going to the outhouse . ” Li Shu clutched his stomach as he walked outside . Right after he went outside, he didn’t head towards the backyard . Instead, he dashed towards western hut . However, just as he was about to stretch his hand out to push open the door of that hut, Li Yan grabbed hold of his arm . “Third brother, you’re being too impatient . ”

Li Shu grinned . “Second brother, what are you thinking? I just came here to check on the leaky roof . ”

Li Mo came out, glanced at Li Shu, and said, “There’s no need for you to check . You’re coming with me to go up the mountain and chop some bamboo to bring back . ”

Seeing Li Mo’s gloomy expression, Li Shu wiggled his eyebrows at Li Yan . His gesture meant, “Oldest brother is really angry . ”

At this time, Li Man opened her door to go outside . Seeing the three brothers clustered around her doorway, she was momentarily stunned . She smiled and said, “You’re all awake? It’s still so early . I’ll go make breakfast . ”

After saying this, she bustled over toward the kitchen .

“I’ll help you . ” Li Shu hastily flung Li Yan’s hand off and followed her into the kitchen .
