Description
Shen Yanbei, who was smashed by a scumbag right after coming out from the closet didn't expect to open his eyes and found that he was transmigrating.
What? Did he get married just now? Even married a man?
Shen Yanbei quietly looked at the newly married wife. His facial features were as sharp as a knife, rough but handsome! Wide shoulders, narrow waist and hips, masculine, and sexy!
… Such high quality!
Shen Yanbei licked his lips. It seemed that God was still on his side. Got rid of the scumbag and found him a manly wife.
Then he welcomed!
"You say it again?!"
The imposing middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes yelled with a dark face. He was extremely dissatisfied with the loose attitude of the young man.
Shen Yanbei snorted and said, "Even though I say it a hundred times or ten thousand times, I still say that!"
"I won't marry!"
"How unreasonable!" The middle-aged man's thick neck was flushed with anger. "Miss Li is a beautiful and gentle person. She also likes you so much. Why are you dissatisfied?"
"Of course I am!" Shen Yanbei looked at the middle-aged man ironically. "I don't even like her!"
"Feelings can be cultivated in the future!" The middle-aged man tried to suppress his anger. He tried to convince him. "Miss Li is Li Dong's jewel. As long as you marry her, Li's family..."
"Hahaha... the feelings can be cultivated in the future?" Shen Yanbei laughed and interrupted him. He pointed at the silent woman behind the man and said, "Like you and her? Your old love?"
Shen Yanbei especially emphasized the pronunciation of the word "old".
"You..."
The middle-aged man's face was blue and white. The veins of his forehead twitched. Meanwhile the woman flushed with embarrassment. She was originally that man's mistress. Then she took the position after the death of the main wife. Everyone knew this very well. But the son of the main wife said it so bluntly. Of course, she was still ashamed no matter how thick the skin was.
Shen Yanbei shrugged regretfully. "I'm so sorry. I really can't learn it from you!"
"You scoundrel! Did you talk to the elders like this!" The man yelled angrily.
Shen Yanbei gave a "tsk" twice and said, "I really don't know who the bastard is. When I was poor, I acted in the name of love. We struggled together and I felt grateful. But on the other hand, I no longer love her. But if I cast her away so suddenly, I was afraid of getting a bad reputation. So I wasn't in a hurry to divorce her. But I blatantly messed up with another woman. My wife knew it after that but I was pretending to say that I was impulsive. The irony, I turned around and welcomed the xiǎosān* in the next day.
*Mistress.
Both man and woman were speechless. They couldn't refute the words because that was the truth.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man clenched his fists. He said in a sincere tone as much as possible, "I admit that I hurt your mother. But I never wronged you, didn't I?"
He saw that the young man still acted stubbornly. The middle-aged man inevitably had to take another way.
"You are my precious. So how could I do something that disappoints you?"
Shen Yanbei put his hand in his pocket and responded lazily, "First you give me a sports car, a villa, and now you are trying to give me a woman. Yeah, I am indeed worthy to you..."
Here, Shen Yanbei paused. He looked up at the man while his eyes mocked him mercilessly.
"Who told you to work hard for so many years but just have me as the only one son? You don't like me so you aren't willing to give me a good end..."
"You!" The middle-aged man shouted angrily, "I tell you Shen Yanbei, you have to get married even if you don't want to!"
Shen Yanbei rubbed his ears. "What are you talking about? I just heard the wind blowing."
The middle-aged man choked because of the words. His anger stuck in his throat. Actually, when Shen Yanbei was a child, he slapped Shen Yanbei hard. It caused one of his ears to become deaf.
He set his mind. Then the middle-aged man said with a blank expression, "The marriage with Li's family is already set. If you really don't like Miss Li after the marriage, I have no objection if you divorce her at that time."
Shen Yanbei sneered, "Sorry, Mr. Shen. Your son is male and he also likes a man."
At the age of fifteen, he found that he didn't like the girls who exuded youthful and sweet breath. But instead, he liked a strong and muscular man with a masculine face. He realized that he was different from other boys.
After sneaking to the nightclub a few times, he was sure that he was bent. He was also only interested in those hunks who exuded strong hormones.
The middle-aged man was taken aback. His eyes widened in disbelief. "You... What did you say?"
"I said I like a man." Shen Yanbei smiled badly. "They all say that if you do too many bad things, you will get retribution. Look, Mr. Shen, your retribution is here! The Shen family is going to end up! "
The middle-aged man's face was gray. He didn't want to believe it.
As if he was afraid that the middle-aged man hadn't been hit hard enough, Shen Yanbei continued with a smile, "Forgot to tell you. I called Li Dong before. I told him that if his daughter really likes me, let her do a sex reassignment operation. Although I like a real man, for a woman who turns into a man, I think I can try it..."
After the middle-aged man recovered from his stunningness, he yelled angrily, "Who told you to talk nonsense to Li Dong! Go apologize to Li Dong in person!"
Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows. "I'm telling the truth. Why should I apologize?"
"You!" The middle-aged man unbearably grabbed the ashtray on the table and slammed it towards Shen Yanbei. "If you don't apologize, just get out of here! Get out!"
Shen Yanbei couldn't avoid it. He got hurt. The blood poured from his forehead. It soon spread all over his handsome face.
Shen Yanbei blinked uncomfortably. "Who said even a vicious tiger will not eat its cubs*? Once someone becomes selfish, he can do everything..."
T/L: 虎毒不食子: No one is capable of hurting their own children.
Shen Yanbei raised his head. His gazes that shot the middle-aged man were like electric shocks. He spoke coldly, "I'll get out of here! Once I am out of this door, Shen Yanbei has no longer any relationship with you!"
He walked to the door. Unfortunately, before he took two steps, the whole person swayed suddenly and he fell into the dark.
When Shen Yanbei opened his eyes again, he saw the brick walls, leaking roof, and some old wooden furniture.
Shen Yanbei jumped.
Was Old Man Shen so cruel? Threw him direct to the countryside?
However, before he could stand firm, Shen Yanbei was about to fall again. He hurriedly grabbed the table next to him to support him. He muttered with an ugly expression, "This damn dizziness..."
Before speaking, Shen Yanbei was stunned.
He saw his feet. It was a pair of very delicate feet. Perhaps because of often wearing shoes and socks, these feet were quite white and tender with round toenails. They looked a little cute.
What was going on? Where were his big feet that were the same as Old Man Shen? How did it shrink?
Shen Yanbei shook his head hard. He tried to clear up his mind. But the more he woke up, Shen Yanbei felt colder.
This was not a rural area at all! If you insisted on talking about the countryside, this was actually the ancient countryside!
Look at his ancient costume and this small body! Although he looked poor, this house was full of antiques!
Your uncle! He just wanted to cut off the father-son relationship with Old Man Shen. So there was no need to overdo it either, right? Not only did the dynasty change but his body also changed?!
Shen Yanbei felt dizzier. No, he had to lie down for a while...
Shen Yanbei groped and laid on the bed. Just when his body touched the hardwood bed, his head felt like being pricked.
"Hiss..." Shen Yanbei drew a cold breath.
His head was so hurt that cold sweat broke out. Some memories that didn't belong to him were flowing into his mind.
Your uncle!
At this time, Shen Yanbei had only these words in his heart.
Before fainting, he refused the marriage arranged by the Old Man Shen. On the contrary, the original owner of the body had just married two days ago! And still many more! The original owner married a man?
Shen Yanbei was a little dazed.
Besides men and women in this world, there was actually another kind of people called 'Shuāng Er'!
The appearance of Shuāng Er was similar to men's. But they had moles on the center of the eyebrows and could give birth to children. In addition, they were petite and weaker than ordinary men. Most of the Shuāng Er had the same temperament as women: they liked to dress up and they are beautiful...
Shen Yanbei was shocked and then depressed.
So the original owner married a girl? And now he was the husband of this girl? But why couldn't he imagine this person's appearance in the memory of the original owner?
Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted. A tall figure appeared at the door. When that person saw Shen Yanbei curled up in pain, he hurried.
"Patriarch, what's wrong with you?"
The man's deep and husky voice exploded in Shen Yanbei's ears. Shen Yanbei suddenly stiffened.
This rough voice... This was a Shuāng Er...
Shen Yanbei couldn't help but a feminine face appeared in his mind. He was unable to bear the cold sweat. No wonder this person couldn't be found in the memory of the original owner. It must be because he was too unsightly!
"Patriarch!"
The man anxiously helped him up. His big hand gently rubbed his back.
Warm currents flowed and spread from under the man's hand to the place where the two of them touched. The warm current went through the skin and across the limbs. His whole body was warm as if he were in a hot spring. Shen Yanbei almost groaned comfortably.
After flipping through the memory of the original owner, Shen Yanbei knew that besides the existence of Shuāng Er that was beyond his cognition, there was also an existence that he did not expect.
That was martial arts!
This was a world where martial arts masters existed!
The original owner married a master? Shen Yanbei was puzzled. If he wasn't, it was impossible for an ordinary person to do it without deep internal strength.
"Patriarch, is it still uncomfortable? Should we go to see the doctor?"
The care in the man's tone was beyond words. Shen Yanbei gritted his teeth.
The ugly wife always sees her in-laws*! If you really couldn't accept it, find him a good partner to marry!
T/L: 丑媳妇难免见公婆: An ugly woman can't avoid seeing her husband's parents. - though something is disagreeable, it must be done; brides may hide the worst side of their nature from casual friends, but they cannot hide it from their parents-in-law.
With such thoughts, Shen Yanbei carefully raised his head...
At the next moment, Shen Yanbei felt that his heart was not his own. It was dancing, yelling, and cheering uncontrollably...
The man in front of him was tall and had healthy and sexy honey-colored skin. His facial features were sharp but handsome. His exposed arm muscles were tight and explosive. If the man hadn't had a bleak mole between his eyebrows, Shen Yanbei would almost think that the macho man in front of him was the wrong person.
"Patriarch?" Seeing Shen Yanbei who stupidly watched him don't speak, the man became even more worried. "I'll take you to the doctor!" He said while he put his arms under Shen Yanbei's knees and carried him in a princess style.
Shen Yanbei leaned against the other party's tight, elastic bulge of the chest muscles and smelled the masculine sweat on the other party's body. Shen Yanbei felt like a tornado was blowing in his mind.
Love came too fast like a tornado, and couldn't escape from the storm circle. He couldn't think anything, he couldn't think anymore, he couldn't, he couldn't ...
Damn shit!
Shen Yanbei swallowed his saliva. He said dryly, "Wife*...Wife..."
T/L: 媳妇; Xífù.
Patriarch
The man was stunned as soon as the "wife" title came out. He looked down at Shen Yanbei suspiciously and found that the other party was staring at him scorchingly.
The gaze wasn't content with disgust but full of joy.
For a moment, the man thought he had hallucinations.
A few days ago, the man was taken to this foot of the mountain by a trafficker. Then he was sold to the Shen's Family. It was said that Shen's Family was originally wealthy. But they were helpless and poor at managing so it was completely lost in the generation of Shen Yan's father. One day, the house leak happened in the night rain and Shen Yan's parents died accidentally. In the end, only Shen Yan was left in the Shen Family.
Shen Yan was a scholar. He didn't know anything about firewood, rice, oil, and salt. He became depressed and unhappy. Later he contracted the wind and cold but he couldn't take care of himself. As one of the few talents in the village, the people in the village still cared about Shen Yan. An uncle suggested to Shen Yan that Shen Yan should marry a woman in charge. But Shen Yan's family had nothing but four walls* and Shen Yan also was dying of illness. So no one wanted to marry their daughter or Shuāng Er to him. It was such a coincidence that someone brought someone over and Shen Yan wanted to buy one.
*家徒四壁: Described as very poor, with nothing.
The good-looking Shen Yan can't afford it. The stingy Shen Yan thought he was too crooked. After some deliberation, Shen Yan decided to buy a tall man.
As a Shuāng Er, the man actually looked like a manly man, which was really disgusting. His mole was so bleak, it showed that it wasn't good quality. But he had a strong physique and was a very hardworking man at first sight.
What Shen Yan needed right now was someone who had the strength to work and be able to take care of him. As for beauty or ugliness, as long as the lights were turned off, wasn't it still the same?
Just waited when he became a Jǔrén*, whether it was a charming beauty or an attractive Shuāng Er, they would be delivered to his door automatically! For this ugly Shuāng Er, just give him psychic jobs and a bowl of rice to eat!
*举人: a successful candidate in the imperial examinations at the provincial level in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Shen Yan, who had made his calculations, promptly paid out. Then he led the man home.
There was no etiquette for getting married. There was only red cloth which covered the head and two red candles. After that, the two just had to pay respects and worshipped their parents' tablets. After the ceremony, they entered the bridal chamber. But Shen Yan was so sick that he couldn't do the personnel affair at all. After prepared everything needed and did bàitáng*, he laid down in tiredness because of all of this activity.
*拜堂: perform formal bows by bride and groom in the old custom in china; perform the formal wedding ceremony.
Shen Yan's illness these days had been under that man's care. Either for dressing, eating, and taking medicine was all done by him. But Shen Yan still didn't like this tough and dull look. Called him harshly, let him eat his leftovers, let him not sleep in the bed but in the woodshed to sleep on straw...
Probably, the "wife" title really scared the man right now because Shen Yan usually shouted and called him ugly when he was drinking the medicine.
Was he too sick? The man panicked. He rushed over to hold Shen Yanbei.
"Patriarch, don't be afraid. Let's go to the doctor now!"
Although the Patriarch had treated him badly. They had already done bàitáng. After that, they were officially husbands. They would live together for a lifetime!
"No, no, I'm okay!"
He was very good. If he let him sing a song, he could do it right now. What kind of doctor to see!
"You don't need to worry about the cost of seeing a doctor. I will take a few more bags of goods at the dock so we will earn it back," said the man.
What? Went to the dock to carry cargo? Shen Yanbei hurriedly checked the memory of the original owner, only wanting to scold his mother. It turned out that it spent a lot of money to buy the man and the original owner felt terribly distressed. He bluntly told the man to make money back quickly, otherwise, he would send him to the brothel!
This was really outrageous! Shen Yanbei angrily said, "Who asked you to go to the dock to work?"
Let the newlyweds do coolies while the original owner was lying at home waiting for food. Was this still a man?
The man's moves stopped, his eyes dimmed instantly. The disagreement of the Patriarch of him going to the dock was right. After all, the people who worked at the dock were all men. He was mixed with men and would gain a bad reputation. But he was five short and three thick* and he could neither embroider nor weave. What would he do to feed his family then?
*wǔ dà sān cū: describes a person who is tall, stout, and burly.
Seeing the man was silent and lonely, Shen Yanbei realized that his tone was too aggressive just now that he made the man misunderstood.
He just wanted to explain but the other party talked first, "Sorry Patriarch, I won't go there anymore."
Well, he had to go into the mountains to see if he could find anything. Although the injury on his body wasn't healed yet, as long as he didn't encounter a beast, it would be fine.
Shen Yanbei's heart twitched. He felt a little bit painful, but also a little happy.
Why was this manly wife so obedient? He really wanted to pick him up like a big baby!
"Let me down," Shen Yanbei said while looking at his eyes. It was awkward for a big man to be held in a princess style.
The man hesitated but still put Shen Yanbei down according to his words. However, he was worried that Shen Yanbei couldn't stand firm. He watched him carefully next to him.
Shen Yanbei was still a little weak. So Shen Yanbei stood leaning on the man. But in this way, he was surrounded by the man's hormones. He became stuttered. Shen Yanbei had to take two steps back nervously until he was out of the encirclement of the man's breath.
He raised his head to face the man and was about to talk to him. But at this look, a tornado blew in Shen Yanbei's heart again.
When the man held him and walked away, he knew that the man was tall. Looking closely, the man was at least 1.8 meters tall. A sexy muscle full of explosive power, wide shoulders and narrow waist, the figure was a good one! the most important was…
Shen Yanbei's eyes fell on the man's plump buttocks and slender legs. He immediately felt the heat in his nose, like something came out.
"Patriarch!" The man was shocked.
"Don't panic, I'm fine."
Shen Yanbei covered his nose in shame, despised himself very much in his heart. Shen Yanbei, you chicken boy, just by looking at him, you already couldn't stand it. How could you set a gun at that time then!
Shen Yanbei's hands were stained with blood. The man couldn't find anything to wipe him, so he wiped it by using his sleeves directly to Shen Yanbei.
Seeing the bright red liquid rubbed against the man's coarse clothes, Shen Yanbei was startled.
After changing his body, his ears were no longer deaf but he didn't expect to be dizzy otherwise!
Seeing that he was in a daze again, the man felt anxious and wanted to hug him to find the doctor. Shen Yanbei had to say, "I am the Patriarch, so listen to me!"
The man moved stiffly. He hung his head and answered "Yes" bluntly.
Shen Yanbei frowned slightly. What was wrong with what he said? Why was this man's expression like this?
Why was My Wife Hot and Cute?
After thinking about it, Shen Yanbei really wanted to bring back the original owner to this shell and gave him a hard hit. The two had got married and should call each other a husband and wife. But this Shen Yan treated the man as a slave and kept the man calling himself Patriarch. Just to remind the man that he was the head of the family. He also called the man... Ugly?
Shen Yan, my uncle!
Shen Yanbei took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and smiled at the man. "I wasn't blaming you for not letting you go to the dock to work."
The man suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Yanbei in disbelief.
"The work is dirty and tiring. It's inappropriate for you to do it by yourself." Shen Yanbei tried to make himself laugh less stiffly. "I am the head of the family. It is my responsibility to support the family."
"Patriarch..." The man called, his voice dull.
"It's wrong." Shen Yanbei stretched out his hand and stroked the man's unsmooth face. He said sternly, "We are married couples. You should call me your husband."
The man's eyes widened slightly, his eyes full of shock.
Shen Yanbei was so distressed that he coaxed, "Call me, don't until you call it wrong."
The man opened his mouth and felt his throat become blocked. He called out this word after a while, "Husband... Husband."
Shen Yanbei gave him a big smile. "Yeah, wife!"
The man's eyes were red. He quickly lowered his head.
What happened? Shen Yanbei leaned over to look and found that there was water in the man's eyes. He was suddenly startled.
"What? Did I upset you?" Shen Yanbei hurriedly raised the man's head. He seldom talked with anyone so he didn't know how to coax people!
The man turned his face embarrassedly, his voice was hoarse. "It's okay..."
Shen Yanbei was a little dazed. "If it's okay, why are you crying?"
After seeing the man's red ears, he smirked afterward. It turned out that his wife was shy!
"Wife!" Shen Yanbei exclaimed in arrogance.
The man turned back his head and met Shen Yanbei's smiling eyes, his ears became redder.
Why was my wife so cute! Shen Yanbei smiled and held the person's hand. The man was frozen, he moved and wanted to withdraw his hand.
"Why?" Shen Yanbei grabbed it hard, spreading his hands to look at him.
"Ugly..."
The man looked nervous. He quietly clenched his other hand. The other party's hands were white, tender, and soft. Whilst he was ugly and black. His hands were rough and hard to see.
"How can it be ugly?"
The man's fingers were clearly boned, slender, and powerful. Unlike the exquisite skin that the original owner spoiled and nurtured when he was a child, the man's palms were dry and warm, covered with thick calluses.
It might not be pretty, but Shen Yanbei liked it. It was such a real man's hands! It felt like he wanted to hold it with his hand! Shen Yanbei thought so and did after. The thin and white fingers were inserted between the man's fingers and clasped with the man's fingers.
The man trembled. His honey-colored skin instantly flushed. The soft-touch of the palm ran through his body like an electric current, making his scalp numb. His chest was pounding like a rabbit's jump.
This strange feeling caused the man to flush with confusion. His eyes were wandering and he didn't dare to look at Shen Yanbei directly.
So cute, he really wanted to take a bite! Shen Yanbei licked his lips, felt a fire burning in his heart. Looking at his own thin body, Shen Yanbei comforted himself.
For the next few days, it was still long. He had to build his body before he wanted to do anything else. He was twenty years old but he was only about the height of a man's chin. He didn't know whether he could grow taller or stronger. Besides, he had to take responsibility as the head of the family and earned money to support the family.
Looking at his wife, who was so tall and strong, he just was wearing a short dress and he also patched it!
My wife didn't even have a decent dress. How could it be?
Feeding the family was unconditional! But there was one more thing that was very important!
Shen Yanbei shook the man's hand vigorously and said sincerely, "I have been confused these few days and have done some very bad things to you. I apologize to you now, don't take it to heart!"
The man's eyes flashed and he didn't speak.
Shen Yanbei was a little anxious. "Why didn't you say a word? If you are out of anger, I will let you give two blows?"
He took the man's hand and hammered himself.
The man was taken aback. He hurriedly retracted his hand. He hurriedly said, "You are my man, how can I hate my man..."
Oh my God! Shen Yanbei felt that his heart was about to melt.
"I am happy if you are not angry. Since I apologized and you forgive me, has this matter been resolved?"
Shen Yanbei stared at his face. Seeing Shen Yanbei's eyes full of sincerity, the man nodded without hesitation. Shen Yanbei breathed a sigh of relief.
He solemnly said, "I swear, I will treat you well in the future!"
The man still nodded and did not answer.
Shen Yanbei was not in a hurry but smiled. "This may not be convincing. But the future is still long, so pay attention, okay."
When Shen Yanbei thought that the man would not answer, the man finally spoke a word.
"I believe you."
Although he didn't know why the Patriarch suddenly seemed to be so different from before, his heart told him that what the man in front of him said was true.
Ouch! Shen Yanbei yelled in his heart and couldn't help but hold the man's face and snorted. "Wife, you are so cute!"
The man stood there stupidly as if struck by lightning. After a while, he reached out and touched the place where he was kissed.
The temperature on Shen Yan's lip kept burning into his heart, made him feel dry, and his heart was beating like a wild horse.
Looking at the smiling young man, the man only felt that his heart was ups and downs.
Kissed him... Did it mean Shen Yan like him?
Look Good
Holding the hand of his wife and walking out of the room, Shen Yanbei felt a bit of a miracle in his heart.
Shen Yanbei recalled his past life for 20 years. He had studied a lot of things that weren't suitable for children, but he had never touched any man's hands or made friends with them. Unexpectedly, once he was transmigrated, he was directly given a manly wife! This manly wife wasn't only good in the figure, but his character was even better!
The man looked at the hands of the two who were intertwined. The flush on his face had not faded.
Before they reached the front door, they heard a charming voice shout, "Shen Yan gēgē, are you there? Shen Yan gēgē!"
Shen Yan gēgē... is this referring to me? Shen Yanbei was goosebumped the whole of his body. When the man saw the woman was standing in front of the door, his steps were stagnant. His facial expression changed slightly.
After yelling several times, no one replied. The woman shook her feet bitterly then turned to leave after a few mutters. But as soon as she turned her head, she saw Shen Yanbei. The unpleasantness on her face immediately faded away and was replaced with a sweet smile.
"Shen Yan gēgē!" She screamed in a sassy tone. The woman walked towards Shen Yanbei with small steps. She looked at him with a surly gaze. "Where have you been? I called you for a long time!"
The woman's name was Lin Wanru. She was sixteen years old and was the village flower of Shenjiā Village. Lin Wanru was beautiful. She often acted like a baby relying on the fact that she was beautiful. As a result, young guys in the village liked her and Shen Yan was one of them.
As a scholar with good family background, how could Shen Yan not long for red sleeves to add fragrance? Although his family background wasn't as good as before, it didn't prevent Shen Yan from dreaming.
Shen Yan obtained fame as a scholar at a young age. He was also the only one at these ten miles of this village away. Because had been praised so much by everyone, Shen Yan couldn't help but be puffed up with pride. He even thought that he would definitely be on the gold list in the future.
Absolutely believing that he was destined to be an official, Shen Yan would naturally not feel that he was lacking than the others just because of the temporarily poor situation of the family. He even thought that because he was superior, the others must endure it.
At this point, Lin Wanru's behaviors exactly matched with what Shen Yan wanted. Every time she listened to the poems he wrote, this charming and lovely woman would be astonished. The admiration and worship among her words made Shen Yan feel comfortable. So he thought that Lin Wanru was different from others. The more he thought the more he believed about it. As a result, he indulged Lin Wanru.
But now, Shen Yanbei is no longer Shen Yan. So Shen Yanbei didn't have Shen Yan's idea of adoration of beauty in his heart.
He coughed and said, "Is there anything you want to do with me?"
He now had a family. So he must behave well and make a clear distinction between the opposite sexes.
Shen Yanbei's indifferent attitude made Lin Wanru frown. She felt a little unhappy. But thinking of her purpose, Lin Wanru bit her lip and said with red eyes, "Shen Yan gēgē and Wanru become so distant. Do you still blame me?"
Tears burst into her eyes as she said, "It's not that Wanru refused to agree, but Dad disagreed..."
A weeping beauty was like a pear blossom bathed in the rain, it looked so wonderful. But Shen Yanbei wasn't interested in this kind of set. He said directly: "Okay, don't cry. I didn't blame you."
Lin Wanru cried even more aggrieved. "If Brother Shen Yan didn't blame Wanru, then Wanru had been waiting here for so long and my legs were tired. Wouldn't Shen Yan gēgē invite Wanru to sit in and drink a glass of water? Wanru has something to tell you..."
Shen Yanbei was a little speechless. Lin Wanru was too shameless. An unmarried girl asked to go to a man's house to sit. Didn't she know how to avoid suspicion?
"Ms. Lin, if you are thirsty, I don't mind pouring you a glass of water. But you don't have to go in and sit down. Just say what you have to say!" Shen Yanbei said with no patience. He held the man's hand and pulled him out.
The man's face had been strained since Lin Wanru appeared. After hearing Shen Yanbei's rejection of Lin Wanru, his expression became a little bit calm. When he noticed Shen Yanbei's movements, his face flushed unnaturally.
Lin Wanru's eyes widened in astonishment. Shen Yan, who was always responsive to her, refused her?
It shouldn't be like this!
"Shen Yan gēgē, what do you want Wanru to do before you are willing to forgive Wanru."
Lin Wanru approached Shen Yanbei. She reached out to grab his arm, prepared to act like a baby as before.
Shen Yanbei quickly backed away to avoid Lin Wanru. "Miss Lin, please respect yourself!"
"Shen Yan gēgē..."
Lin Wanru paled. She bit her lip and looked at Shen Yanbei pitifully. On the contrary, she poured the dog's blood* into Shen Yan in her heart.
T/L: gǒu xuè pēn tóu; let loose a stream of abuse against someone. Harsh words and insults.
Shen Yanbei didn't want to make any unnecessary explanations anymore. He said with a serious face, "Miss Lin, you have nothing to apologize to Shen. Don't say about to forgive or not forgive in the future."
"If Shen has done something that caused Miss Lin to misunderstand, then Shen will come in for censure!" Shen Yanbei gave a deep salute and continued, "Shen already has a family. So, it's inconvenient to invite a girl into the house. If the girl has something to say so it's fine to just say here."
The three people stood and talked at the door of Shen Yanbei's house. Besides, one of them was a village flower. People had already watched here for some time. For this reason, Shen Yanbei deliberately stated everything clearly and generously, to prevent anyone from making a fuss with Shen Yan and Lin Wanru's case in the future.
Lin Wanru was startled then realized that there was something wrong. How did Shen Yan change his person? She can't help but look at the man in front of her. Shen Yanbei was still a white gentle scholar but his eyes were indifferent and alienated.
Lin Wanru's gaze fell on the hands of Shen Yanbei and the man. Her eyes were flickering. It must be because she had rejected Shen Yan's marriage proposal before, it caused Shen Yan's self-esteem to be broken. So that was why Shen Yan was so indifferent to her!
Glancing at the man's rough face, Lin Wanru firmed up her guess. How could a man like Shen Yan be interested in such an ugly monster? He just was angry with her.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Wanru didn't take Shen Yanbei's words to heart.
Looking at Shen Yanbei sadly, Lin Wanru said aggrievedly, "Shen Yan gēgē is unwilling to invite Wanru to sit in the house, then forget it. Can you take a step closer to speaking?"
The misty apricot eyes saw Shen Yanbei with a pitiful and hurt look. If Shen Yan was still here, he would come forward to comfort her, but this person was now Shen Yanbei.
Why couldn't this woman understand a human's words? Did she try to entangle with a married man? Shen Yanbei frowned but remembered Li Wanru's character. He looked back at the man whose head had been lowered and patted his hand.
Shen Yanbei said with a smile, "I will come back after I talked to her for a while, ok?"
So many eyes were looking at them, he wasn't afraid of Lin Wanru's scheming.
The man was shocked. Was Patriarch reporting to him? He raised his head to see that Shen Yanbei was still looking at him as if waiting for him to answer. He nodded blankly.
After getting the man's response, Shen Yanbei only took two steps away. He walked to the edge of his fence and motioned to Lin Wanru. Lin Wanru glanced at the distance. After confirming that she couldn't be heard by others, she walked towards with a mincing step.
"Just say what you want to say." Shen Yanbei's tone wasn't very good. Laozi was in a rush to go back home and wanted to sleep in a hot Kang bed with Laozi's wife. Yet you have something to say!
"Shen Yan gēgē, you are still angry with Wanru..." Lin Wanru groaned. "Wanru knew she was wrong."
Shen Yan was in a good state now. It seemed that this chōngxǐ* i was working. Shen Yan wouldn't die for a while, so she had to use good words to coax him first.
*Save a patient's life by giving him a wedding to counteract bad luck.
"..." Laozi talked with you about business matters, but you acted like a baby with Laozi? Shen Yanbei's expression sank.
Seeing his ugly expression, Lin Wanru thought he was still angry. She hesitated for a while then said, "If you are really happy with Wanru and want Wanru to marry you, that's not impossible..."
"As long as you are Jǔrén, Dad will definitely agree to our marriage..."
Although Shen Yan's family was a little poor, as long as he was a Jǔrén, his status would be different! At that time, if Shen Yan asked to marry her, she could consider it!
Shen Yanbei rolled his eyes in his heart. He said coldly, "If Miss Lin has nothing else to say, please go back."
Then he turned to leave.
The shyness on Lin Wanru's face faded away in an instant. She hurriedly grabbed him, "Shen Yan gēgē!"
Shen Yanbei took out his hand with a black face. "It is improper for man and woman to hold each other's hands. This such pull and push, don't you know decency?"
The fist under the sleeve squeezed sharply. Lin Wanru took a deep breath to get rid of the anger in her heart. She tried to say in a tender, "Shen Yan gēgē, listen to me..."
"Say." Shen Yanbei snorted angrily and turned to look at his wife. Found that the man was staring at him intently, their gaze happened to meet. Shen Yanbei raised his eyebrows. The man immediately moved his eyes away embarrassedly, his ears were suspiciously red.
Shen Yanbei whistled with joy in his heart.
"Last year's harvest was not good and my father was seriously ill. I have to spend a lot of money on medicine every day. It is a really difficult situation at home..." Lin Wanru said sadly, "Shen Yan gēgē, you see, can I pay the rent later?"
Rent? What rent? Shen Yanbei hurriedly checked the memory of the original owner. As he knew it, he almost couldn't hold himself in anger because of the original owner.
Lin Wanru's family just moved to Shenjiā Village. Those who had no land wanted to rent a few plots to plant. At that time, Shen Yan's parents were still alive. Although the Shen family wasn't as rich and wealthy as before, there were still a lot of lands. Father Shen and Mother Shen couldn't work on farms when they were old. So The Lin's Family came and rented two acres of paddy fields after discussing the price.
In the beginning, Lin's Family would pay the rent on time. Unfortunately, after Father Shen and Mother Shen left, the rent was often delayed. Also, Shen Yan wouldn't ask for the rent bill if it wasn't urgent. After Lin Wanru grew into a slender and graceful lady, Lin's Family sent their daughter to say a few good things to Shen Yan so that she could pay the rent later. Lin Wanru was so sweet while coaxing Shen Yan so he always forgot about the rent.
When Shen Yan had found himself in poverty, Shen Yan remembered that Lin's Family still owed a lot of rent. By ignoring his conscience, he came to ask for rent. Unfortunately, Lin Wanru's father scolded him by pouring the dog's blood on him. Told him why the scholar smelled of copper. Shen Yan was embarrassed. But if he had no money, he would drink the northwest wind*. Then Shen Yan told him in shame that if he didn't give the rent bill, he would reclaim the field. If he disagreed, they could go to the village chief to judge!
*hēxīběifēng: suffer from cold and hunger
Lin's Family was always an outsider. Shen Yan was a scholar of Shenjia Village. He was expected to be a Jǔrén in the future. If they really needed the village chief to judge them, their family couldn't be tenable. Only then did the Lin family agree to make up for the rent owed. It was just that It wasn't a one-time payment, but an installment!
The rent was handed over to Shen Yan by Lin Wanru but the amount was wrong every time! As long as Lin Wanru acted like a baby, Shen Yan would be soft-hearted and would no longer be accountable! Because Lin Wanru's reason was very convincing!
Everyone in the village wore such a beautiful head flower, was tied with such a beautiful hair string, and put on such a fragrant powder. But I have nothing...
The beauty bit her red lips. There were tears in her eyes, aggrieved and pitiful. Shen Yan felt pitiful. He was busy comforting her. Don't cry. Gēgē will buy it for you!
Hearing the expected answer, Lin Wanru immediately smiled. She said in awe, I know that Brother Shen Yan loved me! Took out the first flower bought with Shen Yan's money and asked Shen Yan to put it on her.
A good flower matched with a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman smiled at him, Shen Yan's soul was floating. Then he forgot about counting the remaining rent bill, just focused on buying flowers for the little beautiful woman!
...
Babbling for a long time was to escape rent? Shen Yanbei glanced at Lin Wanru's clothes, full of mockery in his heart. His wife wore a short patch of coarse cloth but this woman was wearing a soft luō*. It also looked new, it must be a spring shirt that had just been made. Yet you dared to say that you have no money at home? Only a fool would believe it, right?
*罗; a kind of silk gauze
The more Shen Yanbei looked at her, the more speechless he became. Lin's Family wasn't the only one who rented the land from the original owner who didn't pay the rent. Since Shen Yan's aunt got into an accident, Shen Yan really had no idea about the land lease in the family. As a dúshūrén, he still had obtained the fame of being a scholar. So Shen Yan closed his eyes about anything outside the window*. Father Shen and Mother Shen also never let him worry about family affairs. Only let him study at ease, so much so that he developed a young master's temper who had only to open one's mouth to be fed and held out one's hands to be dressed**
*liǎng ěr bù wén chuāngwài shì; not bother about what's happening in the outside world.
** Fàn lái zhāngkǒu, yī lái shēnshǒu; to lead an easy life, with everything provided
be waited on hand and foot
those who eat and do not work.
At that time, when the bad news came, Shen Yan was completely dumbfounded. He only felt that the sky was falling. It was okay if he didn't know about the rent, he didn't even know his family's wealth. In the past, Mother Shen was in charge of the financial power of the family, but where did his mother hide all the money and property in the family?
After digging through the boxes and cabinets, he just found two pieces of silver. After finishing the funeral of my parents, there wasn't much money left.
He didn't know which family rented their own land, even those who had rented his own land didn't know the rent. Shen Yan, who was confused and always upright, had no confidence. He thought that finding someone to ask for rent would lose the face of a scholar. He didn't have any income, so these days would be getting worse!
"Miss Lin, it can't be delayed any longer. I used to live alone, it's no problem if I get hungry. Now I just married and have a wife, I can't let my family have no food," Shen Yanbei said sternly.
He saw Lin Wanru whose face showed disbelief. He said after a while, "Forget it, please go back and tell your family, if you don't want the land anymore, I want to take it back."
The original owner and this Lin Wanru were sticky. These accounts weren't clear at all. At this time, there was still more than half a month before Qingming, so it was better to take back the whole land. He would sow, raise seedlings, and plant seedlings before the rain.
Lin Wanru was stunned. She didn't believe what she heard was from Shen Yanbei's mouth.
Shen Yanbei ignored her. He glanced at the man and walked toward the door first. "Wife, I'm hungry. Let's go back to the house to cook."
The man had been paying attention to Shen Yanbei. After listening to him say so, he hastily followed.
Lin Wanru saw Shen Yanbei who was talking to the man with a smile. Her face turned red and white.
Was Shen Yan being confused? Actually, he wanted to take back the land? What would she say when she went home? They would be mad at her!
Punishment for wrongdoing
"Patriarch, I'm going to cook now. You will be able to eat soon after a while," The man said before being ready to go into the kitchen.
"Wait," Shen Yanbei shouted suddenly.
The man stopped and looked back at Shen Yanbei.
"Come here." The man walked over in confusion. Shen Yanbei asked with a cold face, "Do you know you did something wrong?"
The man's quiet black eyes opened slightly, the whole person froze. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said dully, "Please tell me, Patriarch."
Shen Yanbei said solemnly, "If you kiss me, I'll tell you."
The man was taken aback for a moment, his face flushed. Shen Yanbei looked very serious as if his mistake was quite big, the man hesitated
While trying to resist shame, he leaned forward and touched Shen Yanbei's white cheek with his lips.
Just touched it.
Shen Yanbei was dissatisfied with this fascinating kiss. He tapped his other cheek with his finger. "Be serious!"
The man's eyes flickered. He didn't dare to look at Shen Yanbei. The fist was clenched quietly, his apple rolled, and his face was red. Finally, he gave Shen Yanbei a heavy kiss.
Shen Yanbei said with a smile, "If you make mistakes in the future, you will be punished for kissing here." He looked at the man meaningfully, then licked his lips.
The man's ears were blushing, but he insisted on asking, "What did I do wrong? I have to ask the Patriarch to make it clear." He didn't want to make Shen Yanbei upset by doing something wrong.
Shen Yanbei's eyes lit up. He smiled treacherously, "Make another mistake..."
The man was startled. He then finally understood what he had done wrong. Shen Yanbei raised his chin and The man glanced at Shen Yanbei's pale lips. The man's face was burning with fire, his throat was tight, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.
"You must be punished if you do something wrong." Shen Yanbei urged.
The man took a deep breath and slowly pressed against Shen Yanbei's lips. Before their lips were touched, Shen Yanbei stretched out his hand to directly embrace the man's neck. He kissed him hard.
The man opened his eyes wide. His body trembled unconsciously. He had never been so close to others when he grew up...
Shen Yanbei was too excited for their first close encounter. As a single dog for more than 20 years, he really wanted to press the man down and treat the man as soon as possible. He also urged to use 18 martial arts*, but it was a pity that he had no momentum and no substance. He was born as a chicken boy and only could do a light kiss. Even so, the man was still stiff.
T/L: You know what I mean.
He finally let go of the dumbfounded man. Shen Yanbei licked his lips, felt particularly exhausted. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the man with a smile like a cat that successfully stole the fishy fish.
"If you want to kiss me, I don't mind if you make two more mistakes..."
"I... I'm going to cook!" The man's whole body was on fire. He rushed to the kitchen in a panic while blushing.
His heart thumped and was about to jump out of his chest. The man still felt unreal when he licked his own lips.
Just now, the Patriarch's lips were touching her. His lips were incredibly soft but tightly wrapped around him with irresistible force...
Patriarch liked him, didn't he? How else would he do such an intimate thing with him? And also rejected the best-looking woman in the village...
The man burned the firewood while he was thinking about what to cook. He suddenly saw his reflection in the water tank when he was washing the rice, he couldn't help but look carefully at his appearance. His rough features weren't soft at all. The lines were too cold and firm. If it wasn't for a light mole on the eyebrows, it was almost the same as a real man. He even had a taller and stronger body than an average man.
Did Patriarch really like him like this? He was ugly, unpleasant, and couldn't speak well...
The man scooped up a scoop of water in frustration and shattered his reflection.
Shen Yanbei originally wanted to go to the kitchen to join in the fun. The original owner didn't know how to cook, the man usually did it these days. Only that the man's craftsmanship wasn't really good, the cooking was limited to the taste, which wasn't really related to deliciousness. But Shen Yanbei was different. When he was a child, his family was poor and lived in the countryside. Since he was growing up, he didn't want his mother to work too hard. So he tried to help his mother with a lot of things. Shen Yanbei had practiced good cooking skills at a young age.
Shen Yanbei naturally wanted his wife to try his own craft, but at the moment he had another thing to deal with first -looking for land deeds and leased land IOUs.
The accounts of the family were all in the management of the original master's mother. These documents also were kept by the original master's mother. But the original owner had searched all the boxes and looked for them, but he still didn't find them! So, where did it be hidden?
Shen Yanbei pondered for a while. He glanced at the thick wall and the blue bricks on the ground. It seemed that the ancients liked to hide things in walls or underground. Didn't future generations often see such news? When someone demolished an old house, he found gold in the wall or underground!
So Shen Yanbei knocked on the wall of the room where the original owner's parents lived and rummaged through all the bricks on the ground. He finally found it!
There was a brick on the wall next to the bed that could be moved. Inside was a small space for hiding things. Shen Yanbei found five hundred taels of silver notes and land deeds in it. While prying open the bricks on the ground, an old small box was also dug out!
A small lock was hung on the small box. Shen Yanbei had no key, so he picked up a brick and smashed it. As soon as he opened it, Shen Yan's heart beat fast. What was actually inside was the original mother's jewelry! On the red velvet cloth, there was a set of gold heads, two pairs of gold bracelets, silver bracelets, and several pairs of earrings!
Unexpectedly, the original owner's parents still kept it intact! Shen Yanbei secretly admired it, and at the same time had a general understanding of how the Shen Family used to be rich. These things should be reserved for the original owner to marry his wife. Without thinking more, Shen Yanbei closed the box and buried it again underground. He just took the papers instead.
"It's really served. There are so many lands in the family, we still make a living by using it..." Shen Yanbei twitched his mouth, speechless.
The lean camel was bigger than a horse. Apart from the silver jewelry in the dark, there were still a lot of lands after the fall of Shen's Family. The silver jewelry couldn't be moved, so Father Shen and Mother Shen resold some of the lands. But the land was the root of the peasant family. Shen Yan had to study and marry a wife in the future. There would be more people in the family, so they were leaving eight acres of paddy fields and six acres of dry land.
The paddy fields of the Shen's Family were all good paddy fields in a good location. The rent for one mu of land was 650 yuan a year and for eight acres of paddy field was 5200 yuan a year. The rent for dry land was relatively cheap, only 200 yuan for one mu of land, and 1200 yuan for six acres of dry land a year. In total, the rent was 6,400 yuan a year, which was equivalent to more than six taels of silver. The fancy peasant family had only a couple of dollars a year, which meant that Shen Yan could save a couple of dollars a year! The reality was that he had no one or two silver!
Shen Yanbei gritted his teeth. The original owner's parents passed away soon after it was rented out. In the past three years, the cheeky original owner only went to Lin's house to ask for rent. After Lin's Family intermittently gave some, the other three families had never paid rent at all!
