Husband, please lend me your virtues

During this time, Ding Laoer raised his palm as big as a palm fan and slapped Liu Li, who was chattering incessantly, and slapped her to the ground.

Liu Li looked back at the onlookers and saw a big, red and swollen slap mark on her face. Even the neighbors who were watching were complaining about her.

He stood up from the ground and actually pounced on the women closest to her, but Ding Laoer behind him grabbed his hair and prevented him from hitting them.

"This Ding Laoer's wife is really fierce. Looking at her actions just now, if Ding Laoer hadn't stopped her, she would have fought with us."

The woman who was almost hurt rolled her eyes at Liu Li who was walking away, and followed the people around her to denounce Liu Li.

"Exactly, who is this person? We are just standing here, and it's as if we have offended her before we even say anything."

After Third Uncle collected the document, he sent Old Man Ding back, and the crowd dispersed silently.

Just looking at the expressions on their faces, the gossip about the Ding family's daughter-in-law wanting to sell her daughter because of her parents' family, having her child taken away by her parents-in-law, and being scolded by her husband will be a hot topic in the Qianjin Brigade for a while.

After everyone left, Ding Su in the house had no intention of staying for dinner. He said something to Xu Zijin and Ding Songqing, then hurriedly returned to the old house with his five children.

Food gets cold easily in winter, especially if it has been delayed for a long time. Ding Songqing felt embarrassed and packed up the food and went into the kitchen.

"I'll heat these up before eating them. It's not good to eat them cold."

After dinner, Ding Songqing, with a red face, carried a bucket of hot water and knocked on Xu Zijin's door.

"Zijin, I brought you a bucket of hot water."

Xu Zijin jumped to open the door for Ding Songqing, "Thank you."

Ding Songqing was so excited that the muscles in his hands tensed up and he quickly brought in the hot water.

"There is no bathtub at home. I will ask someone in the team who is good at carpentry to make one for you. Do you need anything else?"

As for his dad, forget it. Being the team leader is busy enough. It would be better for him to do it himself than to wait for him to figure it out.

"Yes, I need to build a few cabinets to store my things... Can I build a dresser?"

"can!"

Xu Zijin became excited when she talked about this. The room was empty, so at least she had to take out the cabinets first. Her luggage was still placed on the kang.

The two of them were too close while talking, and Xu Zijin's hair accidentally brushed Ding Songqing's lips. When he smelled the fragrance of the other's hair and felt the subtle feeling of it brushing his lips, his mouth became dry and he kept swallowing. He couldn't stay here any longer, as he was afraid that he would become a beast in an impulse.

He hurriedly wanted to get out of the house, but didn't want to make more mistakes the more anxious he was. He bumped into Xu Zijin who was trying to get on the kang, and the two hugged each other. Ding Songqing's hands held Xu Zijin's shoulders and unconsciously tightened their grip.

Feeling the unusually soft touch of the chest, Ding Songqing's face turned red, and even the scary scar between his eyebrows turned pink.

Ding Songqing responded and hurried out, "You take a rest first, I'm going out."

Seeing Ding Songqing running away with a panicked look on his face, Xu Zijin shook his head and chuckled, then closed the door.

There was a knock on the door. Xu Zijin, who was about to go out, opened the door and found that it was Ding Songqing who knocked on the door.

"Zijin, I brought you two eggs, eat them when you are hungry."

Xu Zijin refused, as it would be too choking to eat just eggs. "No, Brother Ding, I just had breakfast."

Ding Songqing pushed it into Xu Zijin's hand and said, "Don't be too anxious when working. Do it slowly and don't twist the injured part."

Xu Zijin still declined, but Ding Songqing forcefully stuffed it into her pocket.

"You can't finish it. I'll do it for you during the lunch break. Everyone is resting at noon, so no one will know."

Ding Songqing saw Xu Zijin's fair complexion. Even though there were some calluses on his hands, he guessed that they were caused by helping with housework. Working in the fields was not comparable to housework.

"When you go to the fields in the morning, don't compete with others. Don't work stupidly. Work slowly until the lunch break. Leave the rest to me."

Xu Zijin was puzzled. "Isn't it still not completely thawed now? The work shouldn't be too heavy."

"It depends on what kind of work you are assigned. Winter work is for winter."

Ding Songqing was worried and repeatedly reminded Xu Zijin not to rush and hurt himself.

Xu Zijin was helpless. Did he treat her as a child?

"Got it. Let's go. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

Xu Zijin pushed Ding Songqing out of the door and followed him out.

After locking the door, Ding Songqing took Xu Zijin to the field, one in front and one behind.

When she arrived at the village entrance, she met the group of aunts who had enthusiastically invited her to stay with them yesterday, and they were also going to the fields.

Aunt Xiuman spotted Xu Zijin with her sharp eyes, left the team, came to Xu Zijin, shouted to stop Xu Zijin, and waited until Ding Songqing walked a little further away before she spoke.

"Xiao Xu Zhiqing, are you living with Ding Laoyao now?"

Aunt Xiuman's voice became smaller and smaller. "I'm not gossiping about him. This youngest Ding is no different from a bully in the team. He has done a lot of bad things."

"Sister-in-law said she would beat him, so you'd better not live with him and keep your distance from Ding Laoyao. If he gets lustful towards you, no one will be able to save you even if you scream at the top of your lungs."

Xu Zijin pulled away the arm that was held by Aunt Xiuman, "Aunt, you misunderstood."

"Comrade Ding didn't live with me. I was staying in his house, but he went back to live with his father."

A row of crows flashed through Xu Zijin's heart. She really didn't expect that with the shocking gossip about Liu Li and his wife in front of her, the nosy aunts in the team would still notice where she was staying.

"That's not bad." Aunt Xiuman was unwilling to give up. "It's just that it's not good for Xiao Xu to be neighbors with a bully. What if he gets angry and hits you? Or you can consider other families?"

Aunt Xiuman boasted about her own house, hoping that Xu Zijin would change his mind and move in with them.

But Xu Zijin just smiled and shook his head every time without saying anything. Aunt Xiuman could only change the subject.

"Aren't there another man and woman among you new educated youth who are also staying in the villagers' homes?"

Aunt Xiuman's expression was exaggerated. "Oh, the female educated youth in there are really amazing."

"What's wrong? What did she do?"

Xu Zijin was curious, was the heroine of this military marriage novel also in trouble?

Aunt Xiuman looked around mysteriously, with a disdainful smile on her face.

"After we left, this Li Zhiqing quietly followed the Third Sister-in-law and stopped her in front of the door of her house."

Aunt Xiuman lowered her voice and whispered in Xu Zijin's ear:

"She shyly said to her third sister-in-law, 'Aunt, I just heard you tell that young woman that you have a vacant room in your house?

That female educated youth doesn't want to stay at your house, but I do! Please consider me.'"
