Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 141 Xianyu starts rolling

"I am thousands of miles away and I don't have to write home. How can I inform Madam?" Leng Feng muttered in a low voice.

"Look at your resentful eyes. Did I stop you from writing letters home?"

"Who can I write to if I don't have a wife? I am not as blessed as my master. My wife is beautiful and generous. She sends me letters and banknotes. Maybe she will even give me cotton clothes in winter!"

"I am indeed very lucky, but I pray to the Bodhisattva for blessing me to marry her every day. You can pray too!"

Xiao Jin laughed out loud as he spoke. Leng Feng was already used to it and walked out with the water for washing his face.

Wen Qingwan looked at the smiling face so close to her in disbelief. His smile was so reserved and shy that it made her heart beat wildly.

If she told others that Xiao Jin smiled shyly, others would definitely think she was crazy.

How could a ruthless and ruthless general who killed people without mercy smile shyly?

She often heard his laughter when they were close together, and he might have had the same expression.

But she was shorter than him and didn't dare to look up at his expression, so she never noticed.

Wen Qingwan followed Xiao Jin into his bedroom. The dim light in the room barely illuminated the simple space.

A simple single wooden bed was leaning against the wall, covered with a faded quilt, and a simple desk was placed in the corner.

There was a row of books neatly stacked on the desk and an open marching map, and her portraits were hung on three walls.

You can tell at first glance that those paintings were from Xiao Jin's hand. Although she is not a frequent painter, her expressions in the paintings are lifelike.

Xiao Jin walked up to the portrait and looked at her infatuatedly. His eyes were deep and calm, as if hiding endless longing.

"Little girl, I never dreamed that I would marry you, but I left you alone. Have you ever resented me..."

"No." Wen Qingwan answered firmly, but unfortunately Xiao Jin couldn't hear her. She stared at him and felt the loneliness and self-blame emanating from him.

He stood there recalling every moment they had spent together, and every scene was as clear as if it had happened yesterday.

In his words, their love was like a beautiful painting, which made Wen Qingwan feel an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

She could feel from his letters that he loved her very much, but she didn't know that he was so obsessed with her.

Xiao Jin kept telling her that he had originally wanted to attack the Beidi Imperial City in one fell swoop and defeat Beidi so that he could go home and be with her.

But they hadn't received their military pay for a month. If she hadn't sent them ten thousand taels of silver in time, they would not have been able to keep the two cities they occupied.

Now he only defends and does not attack. No one knows when he will return home. He talked for a long time before taking off his clothes and lying on the hardwood bed.

Wen Qingwan looked at his full chest muscles that exuded health and strength, and there was no ripple in her heart, only heartache.

Almost all he wrote in the letter was about love and longing, which made Wen Qingwan happy but also felt that he was greasy.

How could she know that he was living such a hard life out there!
Wen Qingwan had also read many memorials from generals in her previous life. They said that the military pay from the court often arrived late, causing the soldiers to go hungry.

Having missed several battle opportunities, she was afraid that Xiao Jin would encounter the same situation, so she specially sent a banknote to his soldiers for extra meals.

Unexpectedly, she saved them by accident. Wen Qingwan was very excited. Originally, she had not planned to earn money herself.

After witnessing Xiao Jin's daily life and diet, she decided to earn money herself.

Before, she always complained about her bad life in her past and present life, but compared with the soldiers fighting the enemy on the border, she was already very happy, at least she had never been hungry.

She has been pampered for so many years, it's time for her to fulfill her responsibilities and obligations.

Since these noble ladies from aristocratic families have accepted the support of the people, they should also do what they can for the soldiers who protect the common people. Thinking about it, Wen Qingwan didn't know when she fell asleep.

At daybreak, Wen Qingwan was awakened by the sound of Jinlan and Jinque talking next door.

The coolness of the early morning made her feel sleepy, and she wished she could roll back into bed and fight Zhou Gong for three hundred rounds.

When she thought that Xiao Jin had already gone to the battlefield to kill the enemy, she turned over and sat up.

"Master, why are you up? Did I wake you up by talking too loudly?" Jinlan heard the noise in the inner room and hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Jinlan, come in and help me get up. I have something to tell my brothers and sisters to do."

With the dim light of the oil lamp, Wen Qingwan got dressed and washed first, and then Jinlan helped her draw her eyebrows and dress up.

After some tidying up, it was already dawn.

The sun shines through the clouds onto the earth. The male cicadas that have been dormant all night are stimulated by the light and begin to chirp endlessly at the top of their lungs.

With the remote melon-eating talisman, Wen Qingwan can always keep track of Xiao Jin's situation. She wants to earn more money to support him.

Wen Qingwan walked into the hall and saw the old lady of the Xiao family and her grandchildren already sitting at the table waiting for breakfast.

Xiao Litao and Xiao Lichuan didn't expect their sister-in-law to get up so early. They greeted her first: "Good morning, sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today. Where are you going today?" Xiao Lichun asked curiously.

"I plan to go to the shop with my fourth brother today to see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"Sister-in-law, are you dissatisfied with our fourth brother's income these days?" Xiao Lichuan asked worriedly.

"My fourth brother is running the business very well and earning a good income, but it is still a little far from our goal. The letter your eldest brother sent home yesterday told me cryptically that they haven't received their military pay for a month."

Wen Qingwan said this with a hint of sadness between her brows, which doubled the pressure on the Xiao brothers.

People who are sensible know that their current comfortable life is earned by their eldest brother’s hard work.

"Sister-in-law, my fourth brother will definitely work harder."

"Sister-in-law, I, the third brother, will definitely study hard."

"Sister-in-law, I will definitely make one more dress today."

"Let's have breakfast first. Let's work together to earn more money so that your brother and the soldiers won't go hungry."

While speaking, Wen Qingwan gestured for everyone to sit down and have breakfast. It’s not that the Xiao brothers and sisters are not diligent, but they haven’t given their all yet.

It’s all her own fault for wanting to be an idler, relying on the fact that she is the head of the household and sleeps until she wakes up naturally on weekdays.

Now that even she, the idle fish, has started to reel in, she is not afraid that they will not work hard, Wen Qingwan thought happily.

When Old Lady Xiao saw her pretty granddaughter-in-law worried about a word from her grandson, she was deeply moved.

"Wan'er, grandma also wants to help out. Please arrange some work for grandma to do!"

"Grandma should have enjoyed her leisure time long ago. It's not your turn to work. If you are interested, you can trim the flowers and plants in the garden."

"Well, grandma likes to trim flowers and plants the most." Old Madam Xiao said with a smile, but in fact she didn't want to trim them at all.

But she knew that pruning flowers and plants required manpower, and the family was not wealthy yet, so she would just do it for a while!
