Chapter 32: Chapter 32

“Lin Yi, you…” Wei Luan looked at Lin Yi’s beautiful eyes and felt even more guilty. “You don’t have to care so much about me.”

He was just an uncouth farmer. He must have done a lot of good deeds in his past life for Lin Yi to marry him. The more Lin Yi cared for him, the more he felt that he wasn’t worthy.

“What do you mean? We’re husband and wife now. Is it not my duty to care about you? You also went to the cotton field to help me, so we should help each other.” Lin Yi blinked and looked at Wei Luan in confusion.

Although they were only roommates, Lin Yi was not a cold and heartless person. Moreover, Wei Luan was a good person. If he treated her well, she would definitely repay him.

“But… am I worth it?” Wei Luan had never been so unconfident before, but Lin Yi was so good that he felt like he did not have the right to have her.

“Do you have a fever? Why are you acting so weird today?” Lin Yi could not take it anymore and reached out to touch Wei Luan’s forehead to see if he was sick.

Wei Luan took a step back. “I’m fine. I’m going to the back mountain. I’ll be back soon.”

Wei Luan hurriedly took his clean clothes and went to the back of the mountain. He washed up in the stream that he had been familiar with since he was young.

The cold water sobered him up. He came to the conclusion he was not good enough for Lin Yi and that perhaps she would leave him one day. However, as long as she was still by his side, he had to try his best to treat her well. He had to find a way to create better living conditions for her and not let her suffer any grievances.

After thinking this through, Wei Luan felt much calmer. Just as he was about to put on his clothes, he suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from more than 10 meters away.

“Who is it!” Wei Luan reacted swiftly like a wolf. He quickly put on his clothes and looked warily at the place where the sound came from. “Come out, or don’t blame me for being rude!”

After a few seconds of silence, a voluptuous woman walked out from behind a big tree. The woman was about 30 years old. She was wearing a peach-colored top and had enchanting facial features. Her eyes were slender and charming like a fox.

“Oh god. It’s me, Sister-in-Law Chang! You brat, you scared me. I was wondering who it was, but I didn’t expect it to be you!”

It was Widow Guo. Wei Luan had some impression of this woman.

Widow Guo married Chang Tie more than ten years ago, who lived at the foot of the back mountain. Not long after the marriage, Chang Tie died of illness. After Chang Tie died of illness, Widow Guo inherited Chang Tie’s inheritance and lived alone at the foot of the back mountain.

However, everyone in the village knew that Widow Guo was not a well-behaved woman. From time to time, people would see unfamiliar men walking in and out of her house. Some were from other villages, and some were from the city. No one knew how Widow Guo had hooked up with these men, but the villagers had a bad impression of Widow Guo.

There were also some elderly villagers who said that when Chang Tie was still alive, Widow Guo had hooked up with Chang Tie’s good friend.

Chang Tie had brought Wei Luan to the mountains to catch rabbits and roe deer when he was young. Wei Luan still remembered Chang Tie’s appearance. At that time, Chang Tie was a fat man who loved to smile. After he married Widow Guo, the smile on Chang Tie’s face disappeared.

According to the villagers’ evaluation and Wei Luan’s own judgment, Wei Luan felt that Widow Guo was not a good person. When he heard Widow Guo talking to him, he ignored her and only looked at her coldly. He asked, “Did you happen to pass by?”

“What else? Look at what you’re saying. Do you think I’m here to watch you shower?” Widow Guo covered her mouth and laughed. Her voice was exceptionally charming. After she finished speaking, she even glanced at Wei Luan flirtatiously.

Wei Luan was enraged by her explicit words. He said sternly, “Stop talking that way!”

Widow Guo was not afraid of him. Instead, she took two steps closer to him. “I haven’t seen you for many years. When I first married Brother Chang, you were only this tall. I didn’t expect you to be so tall and strong now. Come and let me take a close look…”

“Get lost, don’t touch me!” Seeing Widow Guo’s hand was about to touch his chest, Wei Luan immediately grabbed Widow Guo’s wrist and tried to fling her aside.

Unexpectedly, Widow Guo hugged his arm and pressed her chest against him. “Can’t you be gentler? How could you be so rough to me?”
