C48 (1/2)

Last night, she had been too tired to pull the roots out, but she had dug up the furrows, and now the grass was growing again.

This way, she would have another job to do, plucking the grass.

Afraid that Hai Tao would return, she didn't dare to waste any more time in the space between them. She only took a quick glance before running out.

He took off his shirt and checked his skin carefully. Fortunately, the layer of terrifying black scales did not appear again.

She frowned slightly. One thing was because she thought she was smart. The boots she was wearing were too short. All the water was poured into the boots and her feet were soaked until they turned white.

The basin was too small and it was inconvenient to bathe, so he soaked a towel, wiped himself, and then sat down by the kang to wash his feet.

The moment she quieted down, she heard voices coming from the courtyard. The voices were so low that she couldn't hear what they were saying.

Thinking of something, she wiped her feet with a towel and leaned against the windowsill to look out the window.

The moon was like a big silver plate shining with clear splendor, clearly illuminating the courtyard. She didn't see anyone but the waves of the sea heading in the direction of the house.

Didn't he say he wanted to take a bath? Why are you going to the door? Was there anyone outside?

”Shufang.”

Hai Tao's voice came from the door. It was probably because he was afraid of disturbing his mother. The voice was very soft and only Shufang could hear it.

”He's coming.”

Liu Shufang quickly put on her shoes and went down to open the door for her husband.

”Who's here?”

Liu Shufang asked yes. She didn't want to give Hai Tao a chance to lie.

Facing his wife's bright eyes, Ning Haitao's lips moved. He thought of what Wang Hongxia had said and decided not to let Shufang know.

”You don't know him.”

After speaking vaguely, he walked into the room and closed the door behind him. He avoided looking at his wife and did not dare to look her in the eye.

The sensitivity of a woman made Shufang mutter in her heart. Hai Tao was not good at lying. He definitely had something to hide from her, not even daring to look her in the eye.

She asked him with a smile, pretending that she didn't know anything. ”I don't know him?” Then wouldn't I get to know you if you say so? ”

”Brother Wang, who worked with me, asked me about the political trial. I'm not too sure either.”

After being questioned by his wife, Ning Haitao was drenched in sweat and almost said that he had lied to his wife. There was a trace of guilt in his eyes as Liu Shufang caught him.

”Forget it, I'll just wash up and sleep!”

Suddenly, she felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that she still didn't understand Hai Tao. Relying only on the guilt she felt for him from her previous life, she plunged into this relationship.

He felt very miserable. In his previous life, he had fought with other women over a man. From the looks of it, he was about to be defeated again.

He lowered his head and walked back to the brick bed. He then got on the brick bed and lifted the quilt. After lying down, he closed his eyes and turned his back to Hai Tao.

”Wife?”

Hai Tao sat by the side of the brick bed and looked at Shufang with a complicated expression. He lightly nudged Liu Shufang, wanting to tell her the truth.

In this matter, he was rather innocent and did not do anything to let Shufang down. He was just afraid that she would be too concerned.

”Sleep!” ”I'm tired.”

Liu Shufang closed her eyes and threw him a cold question, refusing to talk anymore.

”Alright!”

Ning Hai Tao took off his shoes and got on the brick bed. He smelled his own sweat and didn't dare to hug his wife for fear of arousing her dislike.

Before he turned off the light, he remembered how Shufang's shoulder had been bitten by a snake, and how he had moved his hand over Shufang's shoulder.

”Let me see the wound.”
