Chapter 43 went one step further

"What's the matter?" Sheng Fenghua stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Si Zhanbei.

"Wife, let's sit down and have a good talk." Si Zhanbei said as he pulled her to the sofa at the side.

The two of them took a seat. Sheng Fenghua looked at Si Zhanbei suspiciously, not knowing what he wanted to say to her.

"What do you want to say?" Sheng Fenghua said, her heart a mess. She was afraid that Si Zhanbei would ask her why she seemed to have changed into a different person.

Si Zhanbei took a deep look at Sheng Fenghua, then held her hand again. He put her hand in his big palm and gently squeezed it. Next, he said, "Wife, we are husband and wife. In the future, if you have anything on your mind, you can tell me, okay?"

Sheng Fenghua was a little stunned when her hand was held. She did not even hear what Si Zhanbei was saying and directly nodded her head.

Si Zhanbei's hand was dry and warm. Her hand in his hand was like an ***** holding a child.

There were thick calluses on his hands, which were caused by years of holding a gun.

Then, she looked at her own hands. Although there were calluses, they were left behind by hard work. The previous Sheng Fenghua's family was not well-off and could be said to be the poorest in the village. She was the eldest and had two younger sisters and a brother. The family lived on a few acres of thin land.

Her father was an honest man. Other than farming, he had never thought of starting a small business or going out to work.

As such, the life of Sheng Fenghua's family could be imagined. As the eldest daughter, not only did she have to take care of her younger siblings, but she also had to help the family with farm work.

This was also the reason why Sheng Fenghua looked like she was 16 or 17 even though she was already 20 years old.

Seeing Sheng Fenghua nod, Si Zhanbei continued, "Those people in the courtyard, if you can get along with them, fine. However, if you can't, then don't associate with them and just maintain some face. Also, that Bai Feifei and Li Chunmei, you should stay away from them in the future."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Sheng Fenghua looked at Si Zhanbei with a smile. She knew that he was worried for her, fearing that she would be at a disadvantage.

However, that was the old Sheng Fenghua. The present her could eat anything, but she would never be at a disadvantage. As long as Bai Feifei and Li Chunmei didn't provoke her, she naturally wouldn't do anything to them. However, if they tried to stir up trouble, then don't blame her for settling the old scores with them.

"Also..." Si Zhanbei looked at Sheng Fenghua and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You don't have to be afraid of me. You're my wife; I won't do anything to you."

"I know." Sheng Fenghua looked into Si Zhanbei's eyes. Then, she said seriously, "You're a good person, and you're very considerate to me. I know all this. Don't worry, I won't be afraid of you in the future, and I won't pay heed to other people's provocations. Let's live a good life from now on, okay?"

"Okay!" Si Zhanbei nodded and slightly tightened his grip on Sheng Fenghua's hand.

After saying this, Si Zhanbei felt that his relationship with Sheng Fenghua was one step closer, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He gently pinched her hand and asked, "You've been busy all morning. Do you want to go and rest?"

"Yes, I want to sleep for a while. What about you?"

Hearing Sheng Fenghua's words, Si Zhanbei could not help but think of last night when they slept together. His ears were a little red, and he said uncomfortably, "You sleep first. I'll read some books."

"Okay, then I'll go to bed."

Sheng Fenghua stood up and went back to her room.
