Fortunate Wife Chapter 21
Chapter 21
Chapter 21 - Sister-in-law
The closest market to Shennugou was in Songfeng Town . To get to Songfeng Town, you had to go up and down two mountains, then walk a thousand meters . When they got through one mountain, Li Man was still in high spirits . By the time they reached the top of the second mountain, Li Man was dragging her feet . In the last thousand meters, she really couldn't walk another step, so Li Shu had her sitting down in the cart .
Looking at Li Shu, who was drenched in sweat, Li Man felt very bad about adding her weight to the cart . Two buckets full of fish wasn't light to begin with, and Li Shu had already pushed the cart over two mountains . She tried to get off the cart several times, but Li Shu wouldn't agree .
Later on, Li Hua also helped in pushing the cart, and she felt even worse . Xiaowu was younger than her, but he was still walking . Even if she had to crawl to the market, it would still be a less shameful option .
However, Li Hua wrote out that they knew she couldn't walk anymore . It would be more bothersome for them if she ended up fainting from overexerting herself .
Thinking it over, Li Man agreed . She didn't have any better alternative than complying .
However, as soon as they arrived at Songfeng Town, Li Man hurriedly came down from the cart . Looking at Li Shu's forehead that was covered in sweat, she felt apologetic and grateful . Her heart felt moved . "You worked really hard . "
Li Shu laughed, which revealed his very clean teeth . He took off his outer garment and used it to wipe his forehead .
"Hey, so this is oldest sister-in-law, huh? She's so weak and delicate, ah . "
Pulling Qiqiao along with her, Chunni caught up to them again . She stared at Li Man with an uncharitable gaze .
Li Man looked at this teenage girl with a confused gaze . Was she speaking to her? Why did it feel sort of hostile?
Li Shu glared at Chunni . "She's your third sister-in-law too . " Remembering that Li Hua was next to him, he added, "She might be your fourth sister-in-law too . Anyways, she's your sister-in-law . "
Chunni and Qiqiao were stunned into silence .
Chunni and Qiqiao were stunned into silence .
Li Hua was worried that they would say something else, so he said to Li Man and Xiaowu, "Go over there to sit down and rest . "
"Oh . " Li Man could feel that these two teenage girls didn't have any goodwill towards her, so she followed Xiaowu to a corner of a building to rest .
Once Li Man left, Chunni immediately reacted . Tugging on Li Hua's sleeve, she asked in surprise, "Older brother Hua, never mind about their decisions . You're a scholar . You'll have a wonderful future . Are you really going to follow them and marry that woman too?"
Li Hua unhappily pulled his sleeve from her grasp . Looking at her, he lightly said, "Chunqiao, stop standing here and blocking our way . We're going to sell fish here . "
Hearing the words "Chunqiao", Chunni was a bit flabbergasted . "I'm Chunni . "
"Chunni?" Li Hua looked at his third brother, Li Shu, in confusion .
"Chunni?" Li Hua looked at his third brother, Li Shu, in confusion .
Lu Shu shrugged . Nodding his head, he said, "She's called Chunni . "
Li Hua turned his head back to look at Chunni again .
Chunni had already been angered to point that her face was flushed . "Older brother Hua, do you still not remember my name?"
