Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Caught in the Act
"Xiao Hu, don’t talk nonsense!"
Xiaoyun quickly tugged at Xiao Hu, her face turning even redder.
But Xiao Hu didn’t care about that and naively continued, "Sis, I’m not talking nonsense. That day I saw everything, Mr. Wu Xia’s swelling was really bad. Mom struggled so hard to expel the poison, it was yellow, and a lot of it ca out."
"Ah, sister, why are you pinching ? Wuu... I’m going to go back and tell mom... Wuuu..."
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Hu ran toward his house, leaving Wu Xia and Xiaoyun awkwardly standing there.
Xiaoyun hung her head low, her hands tightly clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Xiaoyun, what Xiao Hu said is true. I was indeed poisoned by a snake bite that day. It’s just that Xiao Hu can’t express himself clearly, don’t get the wrong idea. There’s nothing between
and Lijuan."
Wu Xia quickly explained.
Xiao Hu might not understand, but Xiaoyun certainly did.
"I know!" Wu Xiaoyun said with her head down: "When I get back, I’ll teach Xiao Hu not to talk nonsense outside."
After speaking, she hurriedly ran off.
But halfway there, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, and her entire face was so red it looked like it could drip blood.
"Mr. Wu Xia, if you’re going to co in the future, just co during the day when we are studying, don’t co at night anymore."
Xiaoyun’s voice trembled as she spoke, and she quickly fled back ho.
Wu Xia was completely dumbfounded.
That night, he had set up a barrier Formation; in theory, Wu Xiaoyun should have had no clue about what had happened.
"Could there be a problem with the Formation? Did she hear everything?"
"That shouldn’t be, right?"
Wu Xia’s brows deeply furrowed, feeling very uncomfortable with this sense of being exposed, especially by a young girl.
Luckily, Wu Xiaoyun was very sensible, which did warm Wu Xia’s heart a bit.
He gave a wry smile, shook his head, and didn’t dwell on it any longer. He headed ho, hoping to test if his newly acquired Spiritual Power could sohow improve his brother’s condition.
As soon as he entered the yard, he sensed that the atmosphere was off.
His sister-in-law was washing clothes with a gloomy expression in the yard, and the second sister-in-law was cooking in the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, where’s big brother?" Wu Xia asked.
"Dead!"
Zhou Fang replied coldly, then continued to scrub the clothes forcefully as if that was Wu Gang and she wanted to rub him to death.
Seeing Wu Xia return, Lin Jiao quickly waved him over: "Xia, co here and help
quickly!"
Wu Xia hurried over: "Second sister-in-law, what exactly happened?"
"Just after you left at noon, big brother took a job driving, and he’s going to be out for a month or two, so sister-in-law started arguing with him."
Lin Jiao explained, "Then big brother just grabbed his bag and left, sister-in-law was so angry she cried."
Wu Xia looked helpless. He, of course, knew what was on Zhou Fang’s mind. Her period was supposed to last seven days, and once it was over, she was expecting to be satisfied.
But now with big brother gone for one or two months, if she got pregnant by him when he returned, it would be a huge embarrassnt if word got out.
"This big brother, I’ll give him a call."
Wu Xia imdiately went inside and called Wu Gang.
But when Wu Gang answered the phone, before Wu Xia could speak, he said, "Xia, I’m driving and really busy, can’t talk now."
Then, he hung up the phone.
"Sigh!" Wu Xia let out a lant, knowing his big brother was avoiding the situation and also thinking about earning more money.
Wu Xia sent a ssage to his elder brother, telling him that he had found a way to treat his illness and asking him not to race cars anymore, but to co ho and help him instead, as he had prepared new money-making opportunities.
However, Wu Gang didn’t reply at all.
Wu Xia didn’t want the atmosphere at ho to remain so tense, so he squatted down next to Zhou Fang. "Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. Big brother is doing this to provide for the family."
"It’s his family he’s providing for, not mine. I’m going back to my parents’ house tomorrow."
Zhou Fang angrily rubbed her clothes.
Wu Xia’s heart sank. Even though he knew Zhou Fang loved his brother, reality was always more important than love – they were both well into their thirties, after all.
"Sister-in-law, we can still get things done even with big brother not at ho." Wu Xia made up his mind and blurted out, "Once your period is over, I will fulfill the promise I made that day."
"Don’t worry, it’s not that easy to get pregnant in one go."
Zhou Fang paused for a mont, her complexion improving slightly.
"Sister-in-law, big brother and I have discussed this." Wu Xia continued, "After he finishes this race, he won’t do it again. He’ll stay at ho and help . I’ve already planned out how to make our fortune."
"Then our family can live happily. I’ll also have more opportunities to cure his illness."
Zhou Fang snorted a laugh, and her ashen face softened. "Enough, no more sweet talk. If I despised him for being poor, I would have left him a long ti ago."
"It was my family who called, saying there was sothing going on and asked
to co back. I haven’t visited in so long, so it’s ti for
to see them."
"Oh!" Wu Xia also breathed a sigh of relief.
With the mood lightened, dinner tasted much better.
It wasn’t even dawn the next day.
Wu Xia was still sound asleep when Lin Jiao slipped into his bed.
"Sister-in-law?" Wu Xia was startled.
Lin Jiao’s face flushed with embarrassnt as she snuggled into Wu Xia’s embrace. "Don’t speak, let’s sleep a bit more. I didn’t sleep at all last night waiting for your sister-in-law to leave."
As she spoke, she snuggled closer into Wu Xia’s arms, rested her hand on his neck, and fell asleep contentedly.
Wu Xia felt helpless as he slled the fragrance coming from Lin Jiao’s body and involuntarily reacted.
"Xia, don’t bla . Every ti I get my period, I just can’t control my need for comfort, and I don’t know why!" Lin Jiao, feeling the hardness against her belly, blushed even more.
"Sister-in-law, that’s a normal physiological reaction, it’s okay. You sleep." Wu Xia gently replied, holding Lin Jiao tight, closing his eyes, and trying to suppress the discomfort.
Lin Jiao grasped the hardness and said shafully, "Don’t worry, I reflected on it last night. I’ll try again later; I’m sure I can help you solve the problem."
Boom!
Wu Xia’s head was buzzing. Having experienced the skills of Du Lijuan and Liu Xianglan, he feared that a newbie like Lin Jiao wouldn’t be able to satisfy him.
"It’s fine, let’s sleep for now. I still have to go to the village committee later!"
No sooner had Wu Xia finished speaking than he heard Lin Jiao’s breathing steady out. It seed she had restrained herself all night and finally, satisfied, could sleep peacefully.
Wu Xia smiled wryly to himself; won were indeed mysterious creatures.
No matter how saucy they are, once you break through that barrier with them, they can’t control themselves in front of you.
Wu Xia lay holding Lin Jiao until past nine o’clock, seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he gently placed her on the bed and extricated himself.
Looking down at his arousal, Wu Xia’s face turned grim.
"What on earth do I have to do to manage this thing? Looks like I need to go and ask Aunt Lijuan for so help!"
Just as Wu Xia had just finished getting dressed and was about to leave, there ca a knock at the door, and a clear female voice called from outside.
"Excuse , is this the ho of Wu Xia, Doctor Wu?"
