Chapter Ninety-Nine: Honesty
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! She ran out of the door and walked to the river, but saw that his boat was still moored there alone, and she felt a little strange, he didn't go fishing, so where did he go?
I turned around and walked back, but when I entered the house, I happened to see him coming from the other side.
"Where have you been?" An Xiu'er blamed, her little face was a little angry, and even her tone was three points higher than usual, "You didn't tell me when you went out, I just thought you went fishing, and I came out to look for you." β
"Don't be angry, I just saw you sleeping, so I didn't bother you." Zhang Zhen'an walked quickly, and when he came to her side, he explained to her in a low voice: "Didn't you always want to build two tiled houses before?" I just went to the village to hire someone. β
"You went alone?" An Xiu'er's face was a little pale, and she was a little worried, after all, he rarely interacted with the villagers.
Zhang Zhen'an nodded and said, "Thanks to you, this time I went to find the masons in the village more smoothly, I directly entrusted them with the affairs of this house, and they also promised to invite some villagers who work hard for me." β
"Look at you, either you are indifferent, or you say that the wind is rain, and it is not here to build a house, when the villagers are busy harvesting rice, who has time to pay attention to you?" An Xiu'er's tone seemed to be ridiculing him, but there was a third of concern in her words.
"You don't believe me? You wait, and someone will come and build a house. Zhang Zhenan is confident.
"I don't believe it, if you want to build a house, you have to wait for the autumn harvest to pass." Although An Xiuer rarely does farm work herself, she also knows these basics, although it is difficult to make money, but who in the countryside is willing to delay the opportunity to harvest grain for the sake of this money?
"I said you underestimated me." In An Xiu'er's place, Zhang Zhenan always felt a sense of frustration, as if she was always suspicious, in fact, money can make ghosts grind, "I just raised double the salary, and they are willing to come over to help me build a house!" β
"You're stupid!" When An Xiu'er heard this, she became more and more angry, she said: "I hope they don't come, why are you so wasted your hard-earned money, and it will not be the same to build a house after a while?" β
"It's different." Zhang Zhenan shook his head and said, "Only when everything is arranged properly, can I rest assured." β
"What are you relieved of?" An Xiu'er didn't understand what he meant, she rolled her eyelids and looked at him, her playful appearance really amused him, but she said: "As long as you are by my side, I am very relieved, why are you in a hurry." β
"It's okay, anyway, this money was earned overnight, so it's better to spend it early." Zhang Zhenan is free and easy.
"You also said, go back quickly, let me see how many injuries you have, I was distressed to death yesterday, don't you know?" When An Xiu'er heard him say this, her brows furrowed more and more, she hated him for not caring for her body like this.
"I'm fine." Zhang Zhenan shook his head and said, "You look at my lively appearance, do you seem to have something?" β
"I only trust my own eyes." An Xiu'er pushed him into the house, and when he entered the house, she stood at the door and greeted, "Take off your clothes and wait for me here." β
"Take off your clothes and wait for you?" Zhang Zhenan's eyes were ambiguous.
"Don't think about it, I'll go to the kitchen and boil salt water for you." An Xiuer thinks that a good man, why has he become more and more faceless and skinless?
"Don't bother so much, if you really want to help me, just rub it for me with liquor." Zhang Zhenan grabbed her, his expression more serious.
"That's it." Thinking that the spirits were also sterilized, An Xiuer nodded and ran to the kitchen to get a jar of wine.
Zhang Zhenan took off and lay on the bed, An Xiu'er saw his back, and her eyes couldn't help but be a little sour, "You still said that you are fine, there are bruises everywhere on your back, and some places are swollen." β
She opened the mouth of the wine jar and poured out a bowl of wine from it, the sound of the rustling sounded, and the smell of strong wine spread in the room.
She covered the wine jar, dipped her hands in wine and smeared it on his body, under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Zhen'an grinned in pain, but he couldn't help but scream.
"Does it hurt?" An Xiu'er increased the strength of her hands.
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Zhenan grinned and nodded, and An Xiu'er felt funny and angry when she saw him enduring the pain.
After rubbing him for a while, there was a sound outside the door, Zhang Zhen'an knew that it might be the person who was invited to build the house today, and after saying something to An Xiu'er, he hurriedly turned over and got up from the bed, and went out to see that it was indeed the two masons he was looking for today.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, you are here." An Xiu'er grew up in this village since she was a child, so she naturally recognized them, she called them sweetly, led them to the hall, and said, "Sit down first and have a cup of tea." β
The mason with a sweat towel on his head was called Wang Yiding, he took the bowl, drank the tea in one gulp, looked around, and said: "Xiu'er, you are really blessed, you married so quickly, your family will be able to build a new house, Brother Zhang is too, you look at our village Xiu'er Duowangfu, you married her, how prosperous this day is." β
An Xiu'er's face turned red when she heard this, and she lowered her head, but Zhang Zhen'an generously agreed, "Yes, this time to build a house, I have to spend a few more snacks." β
"Don't worry, wrap it around us, we will definitely give you a beautiful house to build." Wang Yiding patted his chest with a smile on his face.
Li Fuxing was more honest, he persuaded on the side: "I said Brother Zhang, in fact, this is not a good time for you to build a house, it is not cost-effective, if you don't say anything else, the salary will cost a lot more." β
Wang Yiding was afraid of losing this opportunity to work, and when he heard Li Fuxing's words, he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang is rich, what do you care about so much, just do your own work." β
"It's not much else, anyway, I've thanked the two of you first, money is not a problem, just hurry up and build the house for us." Zhang Zhenan said.
An Xiu'er didn't speak on the side, and after the two of them discussed it and went to the village to call someone, An Xiu'er sat down sullenly and said, "I think you are in a hurry to build the house, it's weird." β
Zhang Zhen'an opened his mouth, but he stopped talking, An Xiu'er kept looking at him, and finally he sighed, or explained honestly: "I plan to leave here for a while, so I want to build the house first." β
"Are you really away for a while?" An Xiu'er looked at him stunned.
"I want to go home and deal with some things, as short as three or five days, as long as half a year." Zhang Zhen'an's gaze dodged and tilted his head slightly.
"Home? Isn't this your home? An Xiu'er paused.
"I'll go back to my hometown." Zhang Zhenan replied.
"You never told me about your past, the villagers used to speculate that you might be the one who committed the crime, I never asked, for fear of touching your sadness, now, we have been married for so long, can you tell me?" An Xiu'er glanced at him, and when she met his eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it." β
Zhang Zhenan stretched out his hand and took her hand and held it, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, I'm just afraid that I will tell you, but it will make you more troubled, my father died early, and there is still an old mother in the family, but she has my younger brother to take care of, you can rest assured, I am innocent, not a fugitive slave or a fugitive, I have a gap with my family, this time I went back only because my mother was seriously ill and had to go back to visit, you can rest assured, I have seen her, and I will come back." β
"Can I go back with you?" An Xiu'er looked up and asked again.
"No need, it will take several days to get to my house from here, the road is bumpy, you wait for me at home, I will be back soon." Zhang Zhenan refused.
"Did you know that man in white last time? He's here to call you home? β
"Yes." Zhang Zhenan nodded and admitted, "I didn't want to go back at the time, so I lied that I didn't know you, and I didn't really want to lie to you." β
"But you lied to me." An Xiu'er said in a dull tone: "Deception is deception, no matter what the reason, if you deceive me for the first time, you will definitely make up reasons to deceive me for the second time." β
"This time it's definitely not a lie." Zhang Zhenan raised his hand and said, "I swear." β
"A man's oath is the least reliable, I used to think you were reliable, I believed everything you said, but now it seems that you are the one who lied to me the most." An Xiu'er lowered her eyes and sighed lightly.
"I really didn't lie to you, I didn't tell you, I'm just afraid that you will be sad, so I work hard to make money, even if it's a very dangerous gladiator, it doesn't matter, because when I think of you, I have infinite motivation in my heart, and in the last game last night, I really felt that I didn't have any strength left, but I told me that I had to win, and then I won, and you gave me strength."
He said seriously, An Xiu'er raised her eyes softly, and met his dark eyes, his eyes were full of anxiety, as if she was angry, and he was helpless.
"You're coaxing me again." An Xiu'er gave him a blank look, but her tone softened a little.
"What I said is true." Zhang Zhenan hurriedly clenched her hand.
"Then let me ask you, since you have a family, there must be a wife in the family." An Xiu'er pretended to be calm, but when she asked this, she was actually a little trembling, she didn't want to be a concubine, if he had a wife in his family, then she wouldn't even be a concubine, just a nameless outer room.
"Nope." Zhang Zhenan saw that she was worried about this, and quickly shook his head.
"You didn't lie to me?" An Xiu'er's voice was obviously cheerful, in fact, she said a lot, she was afraid that he would have a wife, and she was afraid of being small.
"I really didn't lie to you!"
"But you're so old, won't your family marry you?" An Xiu'er was still a little unconvinced, "You won't have a fiancΓ©e at home, right?" Could it be that your mother is not sick, but tricked you into going back to get married? β
