Chapter 350 If I develop two hearts, you may do with me as you please.
There are many empty houses on the other side of the river, and fewer shrines and lamps. There are also fewer people. The two sides of the river form a stark contrast.
Although there were stars tonight, they were not as bright as lanterns. As they left the courtyard, Wu Qingfeng naturally took Lin Chang'er's hand. "It's dark, I'll hold your hand."
Lin Chang'er hummed in agreement, without refusing.
Lin Chang'er was still very unsettled after hearing the story told by the Xu family mother and son.
She couldn't imagine that her kind sister-in-law had gone through so much suffering.
The story revealed by Xu's mother and son is not complete, but it is roughly the same.
The eldest sister-in-law must have met the eldest brother when she was sold by Xu Dao for the second time.
Although the Gu family was of modest means, they always treated their daughters-in-law with great respect, as could be seen in the original owner of this body and Gu's second sister-in-law.
Lin Chang'er hates sugarcane men, domestic abusers, human traffickers, and other types of men the most in her life.
That bastard Xu Dao has all three traits. If it weren't for the fact that killing someone would mean paying with one's life, she would have really gone for the kill.
She remained silent the whole way, and Wu Qingfeng tightened his grip on her hand.
"Chang'er," he said, "I have an idea, would you like to take a look at it?"
Lin Chang'er subconsciously hummed in agreement.
Wu Qingfeng stopped and whispered a few words in her ear, "Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Chang'er's furrowed brows finally relaxed. "Great, that's perfect." He's treating his sister-in-law like an object, isn't he? Let him taste what it's like to be treated like a plaything, wantonly humiliated and trampled on.
Thinking of something, he added, "Won't this cause any problems later?"
Wu Qingfeng laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely clean up the mess."
Lin Chang'er nodded. "What about the old hag and the other one?"
Wu Qingfeng looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Chang'er looked up at the crescent moon hanging in the sky. "These two are different from Li Da and his mother. Although I still need compost workers, I feel disgusted just looking at that old hag."
Wu Qingfeng thought for a moment, "Send them to the border to do hard labor."
Lin Chang'er felt relieved and said, "Okay."
Wu Qingfeng's lips curved into a smile, a hint of hesitation flashing across his face, "That child..."
Lin Chang'er frowned again. She didn't know how to put it. She wondered if it was because Xu Dao was such a jerk that she had become biased and thought even the rich man was more human than that thing.
But for the sister-in-law, that child was a reminder of her unbearable past.
If it were her, even knowing the child was innocent, she would still feel unable to face it, and would not want to face it.
Lin Chang'er asked, "When do you take a day off?"
Wu Qingfeng said, "This time, we've successfully handled a case together with the neighboring county, so I can have three days off, which I can use whenever I want."
Lin Chang'er nodded. "Tomorrow, come with me to see that child."
Wu Qingfeng had no objection. He took Lin Chang'er's hand and walked for a while until they reached the bridge.
On the other side of the bridge, the lights were dazzling, and there was a shallow pool of water and a stone bridge. The two sides seemed like two different worlds.
Wu Qingfeng, who was used to seeing prosperous scenes, was moved by the sight before him.
They longed for the scene of equally bright lights on both banks of the canal after the diversion of the canal and the expulsion of the pirates.
However, at this moment, what reassured him most was that his beloved was right beside him.
Suddenly, the image of Lin Chang'er helping Gu Ersao out from behind the screen flashed through his mind again. Her charming smile and every frown seemed to be etched into his mind in that instant.
"Chang'er," Wu Qingfeng suddenly stopped.
"Hmm, ah..." Lin Chang'er didn't notice and bumped her head into his chest.
"Careful," Wu Qingfeng said, supporting her waist and then raising his hand to stroke her forehead. "Did you hurt yourself?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "Why did you suddenly stop walking?"
Wu Qingfeng cupped her head in his large hand, his gaze fixed on her face in the darkness. After a long while, he brought his thin lips to her ear and said, "Tonight, neither the bright moon nor the gentle breeze can compare to you."
Lin Chang'er was taken aback, and a blush instantly rose to her cheeks. She lightly punched his shoulder and asked, "Where did you learn those lecherous sayings?"
Wu Qingfeng wasn't annoyed. He took her hand and gently kissed it, saying, "This affection is as clear as day and night."
Lin Chang'er froze on the spot. In both her lives combined, this was the first time she had such intimate contact with a man. The places on her fingers where he had kissed her were burning hot, and she could still feel a strange tingling sensation.
Lin Chang'er's cheeks burned even redder, and her breathing became more rapid.
After a long while, she struggled to find her voice, "Heaven and earth bear witness, but only tonight?"
Wu Qingfeng chuckled softly, took her hand and pressed it against his cheek, "I wish to be with you day and night, forever and ever, never to be apart."
Lin Chang'er looked up, and although it was dark, she could strangely see the burning passion in his eyes.
A constant heat source emanated from her hands, making her face even hotter, and her mind seemed to be burning out.
The man, who was as steadfast as a pine tree in the past, seemed like a captivating spirit tonight, speaking simple yet touching words of love that stirred her heart and created ripples upon ripples.
Lin Chang'er looked into his eyes, then suddenly stood on tiptoe and planted a kiss on his lips.
Wu Qingfeng waited expectantly for her reply, until his thin lips were brushed against another soft touch, at which point his eyes widened in shock, “Chang’er!?”
Lin Chang'er acted as if nothing had happened, saying, "I agree to your terms, but if you change your mind, I will never speak to you again."
Wu Qingfeng was overjoyed, "If I harbor any disloyalty, you may do as you please."
"Then you'd better remember, I'm not that kind of person... mmm..." she teased.
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were covered by another pair of burning lips...
In Lin Chang'er's ancestral home in her later years, lights were kept on for three consecutive nights when moving to a new house. This time, both the interior structure of the house and the customs of the move were done according to her wishes.
Therefore, after the guests left, the Gu family's courtyard was lit with red candles all night.
It wasn't until the next morning that Aunt Gu used vegetable leaves to extinguish the candle flame.
Looking at the clean and bright new house, Aunt Gu felt an indescribable longing in her heart. It was so wonderful, but it was a pity that Sanlang was not blessed with it.
Although the housewarming feast was well prepared, at this time of year, staple foods that are easy to carry, such as steamed buns and hawthorns, were not to mention those with some meat, but even the vegetarian dishes were all eaten clean.
The festivities last night were so lively that guests from both the county town and the prefectural city stayed overnight in the village.
As usual, Sister-in-law Gu got up early and, together with Aunt Gu, made porridge and prepared a sumptuous breakfast.
When the city gate guards arrived, the piping hot soy milk was freshly made, the golden-brown and crispy savory pancakes were steaming hot, and there were also the standard soy milk accompaniments: fried dough sticks, large steamed buns, big meat buns, fried noodles, and several delicious side dishes.
After exchanging greetings, the city gate guards, who were busy eating, remained silent, only occasionally taking a moment to give a thumbs-up.
This hearty way of eating led even Chen Shanzhang and the other scholars to eat more than they should have.
The host and guests were getting along well when suddenly a woman's wailing came from outside: "The Gu family is bullying people and beating children! Folks, come and judge this!"
