Chapter 39 Let’s soak your feet together

The husband and wife held hands and slowly walked out of the yard, holding candlesticks.

　　Poor Wang Lung, who was carrying a basket of stones, almost had his arm broken.

　　In fact, Wang Hu also followed, but because of Jiang Zhu's threat last time, he did not dare to show up and kept hiding in the distance to peek.

　　During the day, the courtyard was very lively, and people occasionally came in and out, but he didn't dare to get close. It was already dark, and his brother didn't know what he was doing, and he still stood behind the tree and refused to move.

　　He couldn't help it and wanted to run over and have a look.

　　Before the result was even close, there was a soft knock on the courtyard door, and Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu walked out holding hands.

　　Wang Hu:...

　　He retreated silently.

　　The two of them walked up to Wang Long, and Ye Anyian moved closer with the candlestick in his hand to shine on his face.

　　To be honest, this is the first time Ye Anian has seen Wang Long. He looks very similar to Wang Hu, but his face is more sinister than Wang Hu. A long scar runs across his left eye and extends to the wing of his nose. On his head, his chin is still full of beards.

　　But at this moment, he was tapped on his mute point, his face turned red but he could not speak.

　　Ye Annian looked at Wang Long by candlelight, full of disgust. Suddenly, he smelled an indescribable fishy smell.

　　Ye Annian frowned and took a few steps back, looked at Jiang Zhu and said, "Did he pee?"

　　Jiang Zhu lowered his head and glanced down. He suddenly leaned over and picked up the copper coin that was rubbing against his leg. He smiled and said, "It peed."

　　Urinated on Wang Lung's feet.

　　Ye Anyian:...

　　He took another step back in disgust.

　　Jiang Zhu: "Then what are you going to do with this Wang Long?"

　　Ye Annian knew that Wang Long's visit this time had something to do with Wang Hu, but he was also curious. It had been almost a month since the last time Wang Hu came to cause trouble and Jiang Zhu beat him away. Why did Wang Long come today?

　　"I want to ask him something." Ye Anyian said.

　　Jiang Zhu raised his hand to relieve Wang Long's mute point.

　　"Cough cough... cough cough cough cough!" Wang Long coughed suddenly and earth-shatteringly.

　　Ye Annian frowned and asked him coldly: "The news about Jiang Zhu and I's marriage has not been told to other villages. How did you know about it?"

　　Wang Long's face turned pale due to coughing. He had been standing here for a day carrying a basket of stones. His whole body was sore and it felt like his arms were going to be useless.

　　Faced with Ye Anian's question, he didn't want to answer, but since Jiang Zhu was right next to him, he could only lower his eyebrows and say, "Ahem, it's Granny Sun."

　　As soon as he said these words, Ye Anyian suddenly thought of something.

That day when he and Jiang Zhu were delivering wedding invitations to the villagers, they saw Carpenter Ge's husband Feng Cizheng talking to his two aunts at the door of Carpenter Ge's house. One of them was Mrs. Sun.

　　Mrs. Sun must have known about it at that time, and then went to Beigou Village to deliver a message to the Wang family.

　　"It is indeed her." Ye Anyian muttered in a low voice.

　　"You two, how are you two?" Seeing that both of them ignored him, Wang Long suddenly panicked.

　　He hurriedly begged for mercy and said softly: "I've been standing here for a whole day, is that enough?"

　　"I really didn't do anything today! I just talked about the twenty taels of silver. On this special day, do you show mercy and do a good deed?"

　　"You can do good deeds by giving alms to beggars and relieving refugees. How can you be considered a good deed?" Jiang Zhu glanced at him.

　　Wang Long:...

　　He immediately shut up, looked at Ye Anyian intelligently, and said flatteringly: "Brother Nian, it's my brother who's wrong. I'll make amends to you on his behalf."

　　Ye Annian covered his nose, his eyes cold and disgusting: "Your brother is wrong, what about you?"

　　"I, I'm even more wrong. I shouldn't ruin your good deeds today." Wang Long's arms were shaking like sieves, and his words were trembling.

　　"Brother Nian, just ask him to untie it for me. I...I'll get out right away and I won't be in your eyes!"

　　"Not just today," Ye Annian stared at him, "from now on, you, your brother, and the rest of your Wang family are not allowed to appear in Yueyaya Village again. We don't offend the river."

　　"Hey, hey! Remember." Wang Long sniffed and agreed.

　　Ye Annian was too lazy to talk to him anymore and said to Jiang Zhu, "Just let him go. It's getting late, don't delay our meal."

　　"Okay." Jiang Zhu naturally agreed, reached out and pulled out the silver needle from the back of his neck, and took Ye Anian away to hide far away.

Wang Long stood with his arms raised for a day. As soon as his acupuncture points were unlocked, he could no longer hold the basket of stones in his hand, and it fell suddenly, almost hitting his own feet.

　　He staggered back a few steps and held on to the big tree next to him to prevent him from falling.

　　Jiang Zhu stared at Wang Long for a while, then stuffed the coins into Ye Anyian's arms and asked him to go back first.

　　It was definitely impossible to leave Wang Lung here alone. At least he had to keep an eye on Wang Lung... and Wang Hu who was hiding in the dark before leaving the village.

　　People like Wang Long are different from simple-minded bastards like Wang Hu. If they ask for mercy on the surface and give up, they may open their mouths and give you a knife when they turn around.

　　Although Ye Anian didn't know what Jiang Zhu was going to do, Wang Long was definitely not a threat like this, so he let him go.

　　I entered the house with the copper coins in my arms and found that the two children were in the east room, mumbling and wondering what they were doing.

　　As soon as Ye Annian opened the door, Fu Zai, who was tinkering on the kang, slipped out like a monkey, stood on one foot behind Ding Qiu, and stuck his head out to look at him.

　　"elder brother..."

　　Xiaotuanzi had a smile on his face, obviously feeling guilty.

　　Ye Annian glanced at the kang. Because the two were getting married today, the kang was covered with bright red quilts. Their pillows were next to each other. The two bright red quilts were spread out and stacked together. When he looked at them in the morning, Still smooth and tidy.

　　At this time, there were many wrinkles on the quilt, which were obviously made by Fu Zai just climbing on it.

　　"What are you two doing here?" Ye Anyian asked.

　　"Brother Ye," Ding Qiu called him, "we want to come and see you and your husband's new house. We don't want to do anything."

　　"Yes!" Fu Zai quickly followed, "We just came to see you and Dr. Jiang's new house!"

　　Ding Qiu's expression was quite natural, but Fu Zai's "There is no three hundred taels of silver here" was too obvious. Ye Anian curled his lips and did not expose the two of them.

　　He only touched their heads and said, "Then just watch. Watch as you like, no need to be sneaky."

　　After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the room. Fu Zai immediately patted his chest and let out a long breath: "Huh, you scared me to death."

　　Ding Qiu comforted him: "It's okay, Brother Ye probably didn't see what you did."

　　"That's good," Fu Zai took Ding Qiu's hand, "Let's leave quickly."

　　The two children returned to the west room and played with the copper coins with bamboo dragonflies. Ye Anyian then packed up the food left at noon and planned to eat it hot.

　　Five large tables were set up during the day, but there were still some untouched dishes left.

　　A plate of fried vegetables with tofu, a plate of fried mountain bamboo shoots and mushrooms, a plate of leeks and eggs, and a few steamed buns with mixed noodles.

　　The dishes are all on the bland side, so not many people eat what is served on the table. These days, every household has little oil and water, and the only thing they usually eat is eggs.

　　Therefore, when these dishes were served, no one even looked at them. What they grabbed were braised pork, stewed elbow, roasted chicken, stewed fish, and Sixi meatballs.

　　He added some water to the pot, put the vegetables and steamed buns on the basket, lit the firewood and started to heat the rice.

　　On the other side, Jiang Zhu crossed his arms and watched as Wang Long picked up the ax and limped out of the village using it as a walking stick.

　　"Your brother has left, why don't you leave?"

　　He suddenly spoke to the dark place next to him.

　　Wang Hu, who had been hiding in the dark, panicked and almost tripped over himself.

　　Wang Long knew he couldn't hide it, so he turned around and shouted: "Huzi, come out."

　　Wang Hu then walked out of the darkness, scurried to his brother's side like a mouse, and secretly glanced at Jiang Zhu from the corner of his eye.

　　Jiang Zhu was too lazy to pay attention to his little actions and only said: "You'd better remember what Ye Anyian said today in your heart."

　　"If I see you in Crescent Village again, there's no need to go back."

　　He said this easily, with a smile in his tone, but the Wang brothers broke into cold sweats again.

　　"No, we will definitely not come!" Wang Long, supported by Wang Hu, nodded and bowed to Jiang Zhu in assurance.

　　Jiang Zhu ignored him, emptied the stones in the basket, put the red cloth into the basket, and held it in his hand.

　　Wang Long and Wang Hu still dared to linger here. They supported each other and limped away. Their figures quickly disappeared into the darkness.

　　Jiang Zhu breathed a long sigh of relief before turning back.

　　It's true that a tiger is bullied by a dog, and anything dares to ride on his head.

　　In the evening, the four of them ate the rest of the lunch. After Jiang Zhu watched the three sick patients changing and drinking medicine, they all went back to their rooms to rest early.

　　Ye Annian was so tired after a day of hard work that he kicked off his shoes while sitting on the edge of the kang. He didn't even want to lift his hands to change his clothes now.

　　The door suddenly creaked softly, and Jiang Zhu walked in with prepared foot washing water.

　　"Soak your feet and sleep more comfortably at night."

　　The wooden bucket for soaking feet was steaming with steam, and there was something dark at the bottom of the bucket. It looked like medicinal herbs had been soaked in it.

　　Ye Annian stared at the slightly rippling water in the barrel and felt a burning sensation on his face. He thought it was because of the heat.

　　"Trouble you to do this again."

　　Jiang Zhu then laughed: "We are already married, and we are still talking like this?"

　　He knelt down to help Ye Anyian take off the socks on his feet. Ye Anyian's heart beat faster and he pulled his feet back.

　　This refusal was too obvious. He looked at Jiang Zhu's hand frozen in the air and felt very uncomfortable.

After hesitating for a moment, he said: "I can do it myself. You...you also go clubbing with me."

　　At the end, he added: "This bucket is big anyway, so it would be a waste for me to soak it alone."

　　"good."

　　Jiang Zhu readily agreed, brought a small stool and sat across from Ye Anian.

　　Ye Annian took off his socks and tried to put his feet in the bucket. The water temperature was just right, and it was just the heat that he could tolerate.

　　But as soon as he put his feet in, he regretted it.

　　The water in the barrel is very clear, but it is white. A pair of feet are soaked in the water, and the white water looks a bit attractive.

——Crash.

　　While he was thinking wildly, Jiang Zhu had already taken off his shoes and socks and put his feet in.

　　Jiang Zhu's feet were a bit bigger than him, and his skin color was a little darker than his. After soaking in the bucket, he naturally stepped on the bottom of the bucket and supported his feet on it.

　　It looked as if his foot had stepped on Jiang Zhu's foot.
