idle mistress

Chapter 162 Wishful thinking

After drying the clothes, Lu Huijuan remembered that before Muxiu left the house, he confessed that he would move the medicinal materials in the house out of the yard to dry.

She always attached great importance to Mu Xiu's instructions, so she hurriedly moved those medicinal materials out of the house.

As soon as the things were laid out in the yard, a woman poked her head outside and called softly to her, "Is Huijuan at home?"

Lu Huijuan quickly wiped her hands and walked to the door.

As soon as the woman saw her come out, she said, "Huijuan, there is a good show in Jiyuan today. Boss Hong sang it. Aunt Luo has reserved a seat for us. Let's go."

Since she settled down in Tong County, Lu Huijuan has lived a long and comfortable life.

Recently, she has also become obsessed with watching operas. Apart from cooking and washing clothes every day, she just goes to see people singing operas. There, she also met several fans of the operas.

After hearing this, Lu Huijuan looked back.

"Let's go, the show is about to begin." The woman urged her.

Lu Huijuan didn't hesitate any longer, turned around and closed the courtyard door, and followed the woman to watch a play in the courtyard...

"Huijuan...Huijuan...Huijuan, are you there...?"

Shen Qing yelled out a few times with a hoarse voice, but got no response.

She felt parched and wanted to drink water, but she couldn't find the water bottle that had been placed by the bed, and Lu Huijuan, who was wandering around the room just now, went somewhere.

She propped herself up with both hands and looked out of the window. She saw clothes and medicinal materials drying in the yard, but she didn't see Lu Huijuan.

She was so thirsty, but she couldn't do anything, she sat against the wall, looked at her legs, her eyes were slightly red.

She hated her frail body and useless legs. She felt like a waste, unable to take care of herself, relying on others for everything, even pouring herself a glass of water.

There is a birdcage hanging not far from the bed, and there are two little thrushes jumping around in the cage, which Muxiu bought to relieve her boredom.

In fact, she prefers kittens and dogs, but those small animals would run away without a trace, and would not be so peacefully by her side.

The little thrush jumped back and forth in the cage, pecking at the bird food, drinking water, and pecking the feathers for her companions.

Their owners sat down on the bed, motionless.

so long
It wasn't until there was a thunderstorm in the sky that Shen Qing raised her head. She turned her head to look out the window again, and saw that the sky had darkened at some point.

Soon, the wind came, and the sycamore branches and leaves outside were blown to this side.

Oops, it's going to rain.

She shouted outside again: "Huijuan, Huijuan, are you there? It's going to rain..."

Several times, Lu Huijuan pretended not to hear her shouting at home; she thought that this person was ignoring her as before today, but it was getting dark and it was going to rain, but there was still no sign of him. It seemed that she was Really go out.

The rare medicinal materials are dried outside, so they should not be exposed to rain.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing supported her body with her arms and moved to the side of the bed. Mu Xiu was afraid that she would fall off the bed, so the bed was made lower than ordinary beds. It fell to the ground and began to move out little by little.

Relying on the strength of her hands, she moved her legs out little by little, out of the main room, struggled to cross the threshold, and out of the yard...

The pebbles in the yard hurt her palms, but Shen Qing didn't care about it. Soon, she came to the place where the medicinal materials were dried. The medicinal materials were placed on top of each dustpan to dry. The way is to move forward with the strength of both hands.

There was really no way, she tried hard to move with her feet, and under her constant efforts, the legs that had been disobedient began to move forward little by little...

The wind blows the fallen leaves, and the rolling dust blows towards the face...

Before long, she was already sweating profusely.

Her thigh was scratched by a small stone underneath, and it wasn't until a sharp pain came that Shen Qing realized that her legs could move and felt it...

The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and the wind was blowing everywhere...

In the courtyard, like a baby who just learned to crawl, a woman crawled forward little by little, pushing the dustpan in front of her while crawling, and went back and forth like this twice, the sky thundered and thunderstorms began to rain...

The downpour of rain quickly soaked her whole body, and the rain flowed down her forehead. The woman exhausted her last bit of strength and pushed the dustpan in her hand into the main room...

Wearing a thick coir raincoat, Mu Xiu braved the storm and pushed open the courtyard door, only to see the woman lying motionless on the stone steps in front of the threshold, her thin body letting the rain wash away...

"Shen Qing..."

Startled, Mu Xiu rushed over quickly and picked him up.

"Lu Huijuan... Where did you die, Lu Huijuan...?"

He yelled twice, but there was no response. Immediately, when he saw the messy medicinal materials piled up in the threshold, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce look...
-
After watching a play, Lu Huijuan chatted with a few acquaintances in the theater, and heard from Aunt Luo that the girl in her family had a box of powder, which was very useful, and might be able to cover her face The scar on it.

So the women happily went to visit Aunt Luo's house.

Aunt Luo took out her daughter's makeup and applied it on her, then she couldn't help sighing: "My sister looks very delicate, her pearls are round and jade-like, she looks pretty."

Lu Huijuan was immediately elated after hearing this. During these days, she lived comfortably and didn't have to work in the fields under the sun. Her skin became fairer, and the food was good. She did gain weight and looked better. If she had no face On this scar.

The second sister-in-law Lu stared at her face, spat out a mouthful of melon seeds, and said, "Your man is so tall and has a beard. He looks scary."

The second sister-in-law of Lu is the woman who called her to go to the theater outside the gate, her house is not far from her house, and she has seen Mu Xiu come in and out of the house a few times.

After hearing this, Lu Huijuan couldn't help but blushed, and said in a low voice, "No, he looks scary, but he's fine.".

She told these women that Mu Xiu was her man, and there was a sister-in-law at home who couldn't walk.

Whenever the women talked about her, Mu Xiu, Lu Huijuan felt somewhat guilty. She knew very well that everything was her own wishful thinking. So far, Mu Xiu had never even touched her with her fingers.

"How about your sister-in-law, how do you get along well?"

"What can I do, I lie paralyzed on the bed every day, like a useless person, stretch out my hands when I wear clothes, and open my mouth when I eat."

After hearing this, Aunt Luo couldn't help sighing, "It's really not easy for you to have such a sister-in-law at the stall."

"Who says it's not." After hearing this, Lu Huijuan sighed for a long time, and then said: "Let's not talk about her, as soon as I mention her, I get annoyed."
