After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

Chapter 38

Facing Jiang Miao's blank stare, Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "All my money is here, you can count it."

Jiang Miao was taken aback. Although she guessed that it was silver, she didn't expect Cheng Huai to count it for her directly.

Does this mean to let her manage the money?

Jiang Miao shook her head, "Cheng Huai, you managed to save all this money."

Five taels of silver is not a small amount, and it can live a good life for a few years in any household, so he just showed it to her casually, and he wasn't afraid that she would run away with the money.

Cheng Huai raised his eyes, "These are reserved for my wife."

Now that the daughter-in-law is married, it is natural for her to take care of the money.

Isn't the reason why a man marries a daughter-in-law so that someone can take care of his money?

"But I..." Jiang Miao subconsciously wanted to return to him, but suddenly stopped.

Well, she is Cheng Huai's daughter-in-law.

The temptation of money is not small, Jiang Miao is not entangled anymore, "Then put all your money here with me first, and you can come to me directly when you need it."

Jiang Miao opened the gray cloth bag, poured out all the money inside, mixed it with the money that had just been counted, and counted it again.

Five taels, six taels...

It adds up to more than sixty-two eight dollars.

Jiang Miao couldn't help but be speechless, the rough guy is hiding something.

Seeing Cheng Huai go to the cabinet to get the medicine, Jiang Miao moved to the bed and sat down, tilting her head slightly, waiting for him to come and apply the medicine for herself.

The wound on her forehead was almost healed, Cheng Huai applied the ointment with his fingers, and gently applied it to her wound.

The man had thin calluses on his fingers, and when they touched the skin, there were bouts of itching, and Jiang Miao couldn't help but move his head.

"Don't move." He held her head in his other hand.

Jiang Miao's eyelashes flickered, and her voice softened a little: "Cheng Huai, it's a little itchy."

The man paused his fingers, and his eyes fell on her bright eyes and bright red lips. He quickly applied the medicine, let go of his hands and straightened up, "It will itch when it's good."

Jiang Miao also knew this was the case, and restrained her hand from scratching, she nodded, "Thank you Cheng Huai."

She always liked to say thank you, and Cheng Huai was almost used to it, so he didn't struggle with it, but went to take the medicine, turned around and came back to go to bed.

After taking a shower just now, he touched the straw mat and quilt, and they were all wet as expected.

Seeing him turn around and take off his clothes, Jiang Miao quickly gave way to his seat and kicked the quilt to be covered at night to his feet so that he could stretch his legs better.

After blowing out the candles, Cheng Huai lay down. This time his whole body was lying on the bed, but he still didn't dare to move.

Jiang Miao took a nap in the afternoon and was not too sleepy now. Looking at the darkness in front of her eyes, she thought for a while and asked, "Cheng Huai, how much do you need to pay if you invite Master Zhang to our house to make a bed tomorrow?"

"Twenty Wen will do."

The village is full of human exchanges. Generally, if it’s not a big deal, just give some money, and two meals will be enough. Next time his family has something to do, they will also go to help.

Jiang Miao thought about it for a while, and gradually became sleepy. She turned sideways, and accidentally touched the man's hard chest with her hand.

Cheng Huai froze all over, and quickly moved to the bed, as if he was afraid of being molested.

Jiang Miao withdrew her hand helplessly, and couldn't help but say, "Cheng Huai, I won't do anything to you, don't worry."

He really didn't need to be so nervous, he bounced to the edge of the bed just by touching it, which really made her wonder if she had thorns on her body.

The man was silent for a while without saying a word, but slowly moved his body back, as if to refute what Jiang Miao said just now.

Jiang Miao didn't talk anymore, as long as he didn't fall asleep and fell off the bed, it would be fine.

In the early morning of the second day, Master Zhang came with tools. He first scraped off the bark, and then sawed the trunk to measure the length. Cheng Huai was on the side, working very quickly.

Yu Ying took care of the children at home, and Jiang Miao took the clothes to the river to wash them.

The aunts and aunts by the river were still chatting happily, nothing more than that this chicken was lost and the duck was stolen, and they chatted about Niuniu from the Niu family and Zhang Xiu, who was suspected of being a human trafficker.

Niuniu woke up after sleeping for a long time that day, but there was no sequelae. Zhang Xiu had been hiding at home for a few days because of his brother Zhang Quan.

Furthermore, the eldest son of the village chief's family seemed to be marrying a daughter-in-law, who was a village flower from the next village. I heard that the marriage was only concluded after a dowry of three taels of silver was given, and the wedding date was set at the end of the year.

Jiang Miao went back after washing her clothes, and didn't chat too much, just gossip and listen to some gossip to pass the time.

Back home, Cheng Huai saw the wood with Master Zhang.

The rough man took off his coat, only wore his inner coat, rolled up his trousers and sleeves, stepped on the bench with his right foot, and pressed the thick tree trunk with his left hand, with a solemn expression and buried his head in his work.

He is really powerful, holding the wooden handle of the saw in his big hand and stretching it back and forth, the strong muscles in his arms are bulging, and his feet are even more stable as rocks.

After Jiang Miao finished drying the clothes, she scooped up two bowls of water for them to drink.

They couldn't move around in the house, so they could only saw wood in the yard. Now that the sun was shining, the two big men were sweating and extremely hot.

After drinking the water, Cheng Huai took a deep breath when he met the woman's concerned gaze, and the sweat trickled down his forehead and hid on his neck.

"Go and sit inside," he said.

"I won't be exposed to the sun." Jiang Miao pointed to the straw hat on his head, took the bowl in his hand, turned and went back to the house.

After that, he gave them two straw hats at home to wear, and went back to the house to sew clothes with Yu Ying.

Jiang Miao's clothes are ready, she tried them on, and they fit well, and she plans to change into them tomorrow.

"Mother looks good!" Dabao sat on the ground and clapped his hands, his eyes were bright.

Little Treasure also tried his best to nod his head in affirmation: "Good looking girl!"

Yu Ying looked at the joy in her eyes: "It's beautiful, it's the first time for my mother to feel that her clothes are so well made."

Sure enough, good-looking people look good in anything.

Jiang Miao folded the clothes, walked over and patted Dabao and Xiaobao's butt, and then looked at Yu Ying happily, "It's my mother who is good at craftsmanship, I don't look so good in other clothes."

"Naturally, my mother is the best handicraft in these ten miles and eight villages!" Yu Ying puffed out her chest proudly.

Dabao and Xiaobao kept clapping their hands, looking at Yu Ying with eyes full of admiration.

I didn't understand it well, but it didn't prevent them from cheering.

Yu Ying couldn't stay idle, she sewed clothes for a while and went outside to have a look, then let Jiang Miao watch the children, and went to the backyard to weed.

In this drought year, the vegetables grow sluggishly, but the weeds grow vigorously.

Jiang Miao came to the backyard with her two children, and helped pull the weeds together, and picked the cooked vegetables by the way.

"Mom, let me cook at noon today."

Yu Ying responded with a smile: "Okay, Mom still wants to eat the cold salad you made yesterday, it's delicious!"
