Because she stayed indoors all year round and rarely saw the sun, her skin was much fairer and more delicate than that of other girls. When she cried, the tip of her nose turned pink.

"I, I'm not good, am I? There's nothing wrong with me, you can hit me, you can scold me, it's all fine. Stop crying, okay?"

Who said that Liangshan from their family is a fool?

They are all fools.

"Brother Shanzi."

Caiyi raised her tearful eyes,

"Why are you so nice to me?"

"You are talking nonsense again. You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"

Liangshan smiled, and in the morning light, his square face was bright.

"Wife, I want to discuss something with you, okay?"

"you say?"

"No matter what happens in the future, tell me and don't cry alone, okay?"

"Ah."

Caiyi nodded, but tears started to flow again.

"Little fool, didn't I tell you not to cry?"

Liangshan picked up Caiyi,

"Let's wash our faces. Today is the day to visit our parents. If you cry like this, grandma will suspect that I am not good to you."

Caiyi smiled.

Today is the day when the bride returns to her parents' home.

How could she forget?

"Don't let the water get cold when washing your face."

Liangshan brought the shoes, put them on Caiyi, and carried her to the ground.

Caiyi went to wash her face, and Liangshan made the bed and folded the quilt.

He was clumsy and the new quilt was soft and not folded neatly, so as soon as he left, it fell down and spread out.

He folded it again, but as soon as he let go of it, it fell apart again.

Liangshan stood there helplessly.

"You are stupid!"

Caiyi walked over and lightly touched Liangshan's forehead with her finger.

“This is how the quilt is folded.”

Looking at Caiyi's deft hands, it was like a magic trick, and in the blink of an eye, the bed was clean and tidy.

"I followed what Auntie Ma taught me, why is it not working?"

Liangshan scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.

"Did Auntie Ma teach you that?"

Caiyi has deep feelings for this kind-looking neighbor lady.

Aunt Ma is their matchmaker.

"The quilt is too soft, I——"

"You didn't know how to fold the quilt before?"

Caiyi doesn't know much about Liangshan's previous life.

Although the family was not wealthy, grandma was very strict and the clothes and beds of the siblings were always very tidy.

"I don't have a quilt."

what?

Caiyi really didn't expect this answer.

No quilt, what does that mean?

Looking at Caiyi's shocked face.

Liangshan lowered his head in embarrassment.

"I have only had one quilt since I was a child. It is too worn out and tattered. I——"

Oh my God, Caiyi only then realized that Liangshan grew up with his stepmother.

This stepmother is so bad.

"How did you spend the winter?"

"I slept in the donkey shed. There was hay there. I piled the hay on the bed and covered myself with my quilt, cotton jacket and trousers."

I have been living this kind of life for so many years.

Liangshan didn't think much of it, but when Caiyi heard these words, she was simply shocked.

"Where are your clothes?"

Caiyi looked around the room, but apart from the things she brought with her, she didn't see anything that Liangshan had used.

"Don't be ridiculous. I used to have only one set of clothes. In winter, I wore a cotton-padded jacket and cotton-padded trousers. In summer, I took out the cotton from the inside and wore it. I wasted my clothes at work, so they were always torn. My sister was young, so she had to mend them for me. They didn't look very good."

"Did you borrow this new dress?"

When young men in the village get married, some of those from poor families sometimes borrow clothes to wear.

"This dress belonged to my sister-in-law, and my sister gave it to me to wear."
