In her eyes, her own face was reflected, and she looked at him so clearly and clearly without fear of these chaotic emotions.

Ling Chaofeng gently cupped her cheeks, and said, "It's getting colder and colder today, add a piece of clothing." ”

Xiaowan nodded, when this person is not fierce about her, how good-looking, it can make people look stupid.

The two walked to the door together, and soon after, Ling Chaofeng rode away. Xiaowan held on to the door, looking at the faint figure after the dust cleared, expecting him to come back soon, she still had a lot to say.

"Late?" Suddenly, Aunt Zhang exclaimed, hurriedly ran to the door, grabbed Xiaowan's hand and said, "Early in the morning, you want to leave?" Evening, where are you going? ”

Xiao Wan shook her head again and again, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Auntie, I won't leave, as long as you don't dislike me, as long as Shopkeeper Ling doesn't pick me up, I will stay here for the rest of my life." ”

Aunt Zhang held her heart and was so excited: "Really, really? ”

At this time, the sun rises, jumping out of the horizon from the east, the golden sun shines into the store, the whole world lights up, Xiao Wanzai carefully looks upstairs and downstairs, from now on, this is her home.

Aunt Zhang looked at the little lady's pious gaze from the side, and couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, their shopkeeper finally had a daughter-in-law.

After breakfast, Xiaowan was washing clothes by the well, Aunt Zhang was washing dishes, chatting, Xiaowan couldn't help asking: "Auntie, there is no one in the store who even enters the door to drink saliva and eat a meal, how do we do business?" ”

Aunt Zhang picked up the washed dishes and chopsticks and smiled: "There are guests who come naturally." ”

In the past few days, I have had plenty of food and clothing, I have eaten a lot and good, and there are endless snacks and fruits, and I have almost forgotten how to live the hard days of eating bran vegetables.

and Ling Chaofeng said that he repaid the debt of 1,000 taels of silver for the mother-in-law's family, and the dowry for her marriage was 100 taels, and it was very remarkable for other families in the village to have 20 taels, so even if the stepmother tied her up and married her, she would never allow Xiaowan to regret the marriage.

I always felt that Ling Chaofeng was very rich, but where did his money come from, and he couldn't take a business in this inn for three or two days.

Xiaowan raised her hand and looked at the beautiful jade ring on her ring finger, if she can't take it off, she will wear it, she will wear jewelry for the first time when she grows so big.

She continued to do laundry, thinking that it would be good if there were customers in the store, and she didn't have to be idle every day to do nothing, and started her business seriously, and after a long time, others would not think that it was a black shop.

Thinking wildly, I heard someone in the store shouting, "Is there anyone in the store?" ”

Xiao Wan hurriedly wiped her hands and ran out, and it was a pair of young people who entered the store, looking at the same age as Ling Chaofeng, the man was tall and handsome and had a gentle temperament, and the woman looked like a fairy, and she must be a man's wife with her hair in a bun. They were dressed very plainly, but for some reason, Xiao Wan felt that there were very noble people in front of them.

They only needed two bowls of tea, and let Xiaowan fill two bags of water, and sat down for a while before leaving. The young lady didn't know what to mutter, and looked at Xiaowan and wanted to stop talking, but her husband looked at her dotingly, whispered softly, and finally made his wife laugh.

"Late, a guest?" Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen and reproached, "That little thing in Ershan, don't run around the store, just follow your Uncle Biao." ”

Xiaowan handed her a piece of broken silver: "Auntie, you see, they only drank tea, let me fill two bags of water, and gave so much money." ”

Aunt Zhang looked at it, it was real silver, and smiled at Xiaowan: "Look, I said, let's open the door to do business, and there will be guests naturally." ”

She returned the money to Xiaowan and said with a smile: "Wan'er, I'm just doing chores, and I don't care about the livelihood in the store, but you are the bride and the shopkeeper of this Lingxiao Inn, and it will be your business in the future." ”

Xiao Wan blushed, carefully held the broken silver, and said softly: "I, I am also a miscellaneous person." ”

In the afternoon, Ershan followed Uncle Biao back from listening to books in the town, and was scolded by Aunt Zhang, Uncle Biao is such a burly man, but he is as gentle as water to his own lady, Aunt Zhang scolded him, he listened obediently, and then gave compensation with a hippie smile, which made Aunt Zhang angry and funny.

Xiaowan remembered the sweet and sweet pair of guests in the morning, and then looked at Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao, this is the life she once dreamed of. For more than ten years, living in the obscene abuse of her stepmother every day, marriage is her only way out, and she was tied to the firewood room waiting for the few days of marriage, she has desperately thought of death, but she didn't expect that what was waiting for her would be such a good family.

"Auntie." Xiaowan blushed and came to find Aunt Zhang.

"Hungry?" Aunt Zhang looked pampered.

"That...... Shopkeeper Ling is moving to my house tonight, and I, I want to move all his things. Xiaowan's face is like a ripe persimmon, sweet and soft, and so red that it is pitiful.

Aunt Zhang grabbed her hand: "Let's go, let's clean up." ”

In the dead of night, Ling Chaofeng came back, Ershan left the door for him, the two talked for a while, he walked to the third floor, looked at the wedding room, and subconsciously turned around and went to his own room.

But Xiaowan, who could hear the movement, was already waiting in the door, opened the door gently, and stood in front of the door with a red face.

When Ling Chaofeng saw her, he smiled slightly: "I haven't slept yet." ”

Xiaowan said, "I'm waiting for you to come home." ”

Ling Chaofeng strode over, forcing Xiaowan to retreat back to the door in a hurry, he closed the door with his backhand, and asked with a smile, "Really not leaving?" After tonight, if you have to run again, you will have to suffer. ”

Xiao Wan nodded vigorously and said weakly: "Shopkeeper Ling, you are a good person." ”

"Don't you change your tune?" Ling Chaofeng hugged her waist, feeling his petite body tense, he leaned closer and closer, "Call me Chaofeng, or ......"

"Xianggong?" Spit out these two words, Xiao Wan's mind was blank, and before she could calm down, her lips were gently squeezed, her heart tightened suddenly, and the wonderful touch made people flutter, and there was a strange feeling, which quickly spread from her heart to her whole body.

This kiss was deep and long, and when Xiaowan was let go, she gasped for breath, but Ling Chaofeng looked at her carefully with a loving gaze: "Are you afraid?" ”

Xiao Wan's eyes were like water, and she shook her head: "Don't be afraid." ”

Although he was only 17 years old, he grew up in the village, and every family used only a fence as a wall. Before the stepmother entered the door, when she was six or seven years old, she had followed the children in the village to see things that should not be seen, and naturally she was still young and ignorant at that time. Later, the stepmother entered the door, because Daddy went out to gather less and left more all the year round, and every time he came back, the stepmother tied his father to the house, day and night, the stepmother's voice was so loud, and Xiaowan had gradually grown up.

What to do between husband and wife, although there is no mother-in-law to teach her, she knows everything, at this moment, she was put on the bed by Ling Chaofeng, she looked at her husband with misty eyes, recalled the conflicts in the past few days after getting married, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I treat you as a bad person." ”

She couldn't help choking up when she said this, she thought that the devilish bad guy was the best person for herself who had lived for seventeen years.

"I'm scaring you." Ling Chaofeng pecked her lightly on the lips, "There was a customer in the store that day, you were delivered, and I didn't care about it, I left you here and been tied up for so long." I didn't even know that you were tied up at home, and if the matchmaker had told me, I would have come to save you earlier. ”

Xiaowan burst into tears: "But, why do you want to marry me?" ”

Ling Chaofeng's hand had already pulled her belt open, and said gently, "Fate." ”

Fate? Xiaowan doesn't understand, but she doesn't seem to need to understand, just think that God arranged it, did she use the past to finish all the hardships of her life?

The clothes were all scattered, and after a few days of good food and drink, even the old scars on the body that had not faded looked less hideous.

"I ......" Xiaowan thought of the scars all over her body, suddenly covered her chest, and said with teary eyes, "I'm ugly, I have scars all over my body......"

"Little Night." Ling Chaofeng called her name softly.

"Shopkeeper Ling......" Xiaowan responded.

Before the words fell, the fart-thigh was slapped lightly, it didn't hurt, but it itched into the heart, Ling Chaofeng asked, "Don't you change your mouth?" ”

Xiao Wan Chu Chu looked at him pitifully.

Ling Chaofeng said: "Xiaowan, I will treat you well, and I will not cry in the future." ”

She tearfully promised that she could finally live again. (Unabridged version, released on WeChat platform)
