Boss Niu was a little reluctant to let go, and a tug-of-war ensued between the two. The old lady gave the other a look and made him let go.

The eldest son's wife was watching in horror, wondering when her man would have such courage.

The old lady opened her purse and counted the coins one by one. There were actually twelve cents in it. She was overjoyed. But when she saw the failed tofu, her mood was not so bad anymore. She almost floated when she walked. She immediately went back to the house and locked the money in the cabinet.

I poured out the soybeans I bought. The price and quality were both satisfactory. I took them out and soaked them in water, preparing to grind soy milk in the afternoon.

Ni'er brought home the gold that she would need today, preparing to supply some new stock to the restaurant tomorrow.

The family of four had a simple lunch. The third child went out as usual but was stopped by Yan Zi. "I haven't been to the fields for a long time. Let's go and take a look together. Otherwise, I'll always be worried."

The third brother thought it would be good to just go out and relax. Sitting there mending clothes all day would affect his mood, so he nodded.

Although it is a little difficult to walk in the fields, I can definitely help Swallow by holding on to the ground so that she won't fall.

The two of them went out of the door together, and the third brother's hand involuntarily went straight to Yan Zi's arm.

Yan Zi's face flushed red, and she stretched out her other hand to try to pull Lao San's hand down, but it was clamped very tightly. She failed after several attempts, so she had no choice but to say, "It's broad daylight, take your hand away quickly. It will be bad if others see it, and people will spread gossip. I can leave by myself."

In this matter, the third brother would not listen to Yan Zi's words, and his hands were still holding her firmly, "We are husband and wife, this is a very normal thing, and they have their mouths on them, and I can't do anything about it."

Yan Zi couldn't resist the third brother, so she let him support her.

Some passers-by covered their faces and smiled, while others simply came forward to talk to them, "You two have a really good relationship~"

Yan Zi's face is always red and never looks normal.

Most of them couldn't help but steal a few glances, and then walked over to whisper, "Look at the third son supporting his wife. Even when she was pregnant, no man in my family would do that. Others would think he was henpecked, and that it would affect a man's masculinity. He didn't even support his mother like that, let alone me. I still get angry when I think about it now."

Although she was looked at sideways all the way, Yan Zi felt that this feeling was not bad.

I saw a figure from afar. It should be the Widow Li mentioned by my sister-in-law who was making clothes this morning. She was standing there with a wash basin in her arms. Yes, that intersection was a place that the third brother had to pass by. Before his family really became rich, someone had already set his sights on the third brother.

Fortunately, Ni'er is in charge of the money, so this situation is not too difficult. I put more effort into making my sister-in-law's dress and have it made early, which can be regarded as a way to repay her for telling me about this matter.

Widow Li glanced at them casually, thinking that they were two unrelated people approaching. Usually the third brother was alone, so she never thought about it that way.

As the two men came closer, Widow Li realized that one of them looked like the third brother. She looked closely and realized that it was the third brother and Yan Zi. She felt very nervous. Had they been discovered? No, she hadn't done anything. Why did Yan Zi come out with a bulging belly? Going to the fields with her husband would not accomplish anything. She would only cause trouble and ruin her plans.

I was a little angry and a little flustered. Why was the third brother still holding Yan Zi's arm? She was obviously not pregnant and could walk by herself. He was so pretentious. I have never seen a man holding his wife. People would laugh their heads off when they saw him. In the future, people would call him a loser and a henpecked husband wherever he went. I felt sour in my heart.

When the two men came closer, Widow Li spoke awkwardly, "Are you going to the fields together?"

There was a hint of jealousy in his tone, but he hadn't noticed it yet.

Yan Zi touched her belly with her other hand. As expected, Widow Li was interested in the third child. "Yes, I haven't been there for a long time. The weather is good today. Let's go with him to have a look."

The third brother still didn't let go of his hand, and glanced at Yan Zi tenderly, "It's a good opportunity to bring her out to relax. She always stays on the kang and works, which will damage her eyesight."

Widow Li's face turned pale when she saw this scene. She felt so sad that she could hardly breathe. "I have been playing with the third brother since I was a child. I have never seen him treat others like this."

By chance, the person who usually did the laundry came over and took Widow Li away while teasing the third brother, "Are you so afraid of your wife? Will you get beaten if you let go?"

The third brother thought for a long time and didn't know how to answer, so he just answered with a "hmm".

Yan Zi couldn't help but pat the third brother a few times. Did this guy want to confirm his reputation as a tigress?

This caused everyone to burst into laughter, and Widow Li's face became even uglier. The third brother touched his head and started laughing too.

Swallow noticed that Widow Li's expression was not right just now, but the third brother had not noticed it yet. Being simple also has its advantages. Thinking of this, Swallow could not help but let out a crisp laugh.

The third brother was confused, "Wife, you weren't laughing just now, why are you laughing now?"

"Nothing. When I heard those people say that you are dominated by your wife, I was so envious that I couldn't help laughing." Yan Zi made up an excuse to get rid of the third brother.

Widow Li had wanted to pin a morning glory on her hair today and match it with this dress, hoping that the third son might be attracted to her. However, now is not the blooming season for morning glory. Yesterday, she gritted her teeth, saved money to buy food, asked her and the child to tighten their belts for a few days, and spent three cents to buy a morning glory hairpin from the peddler.

Thinking it would be best to let the third child put it on him, just like when he was a child, he touched the hairpin in his pocket that he hadn't taken out yet, and sighed. It seemed that it would not be useful, but there was still hope for the eldest and second oldest.

I don’t know what’s so good about Yan Zi that made the third brother do this for her and admit in front of everyone that he is afraid of his wife.

She was washing clothes listlessly, listening to people next to her gossiping about Lao San and Yan Zi. She became more and more annoyed and vented her emotions on the clothes. She rubbed them vigorously, and washed them many times cleaner than usual. She lost control of the force and the clothes were torn. With a "swish", the gossiping voices next to her stopped abruptly. She knew she was in trouble again and felt so sad that she could not even cry.

Yan Zi knew that after what happened today, Widow Li would be quiet for a long time. She glanced at the third brother, who seemed to sense something and looked back at Yan Zi with a silly smile. A man like this was still reassuring, and her judgment was not wrong.

Widow Li just said that they had played together since childhood. I have never heard the third brother mention it. I also know that Widow Li said it to provoke me, so I might as well ask her to prevent it from becoming a knot in my heart. "You and her grew up together? Why haven't I heard you say that?"
