After Transmigrating, She Became A Little Widow In A Farming Family

Chapter 37

"Husband, I want to discuss something with you." Li Suniang knew that Du Wei had not fallen asleep yet, but she didn't know how much Du Wei was struggling in his heart at the moment.

When the soft voice sounded beside her ear, Du Wei wished that his struggling heart would give up. He took a deep breath to suppress his inner restlessness.

Unfortunately, his little wife didn't seem to understand his thoughts. She stretched out her hand to tease him back and forth on his chest, almost causing him to break his resolve. So he had to stretch out his hot hand to hold down the restless little hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't tease me anymore. What's the matter?"

Li Suniang felt a little puzzled when her hand was held down. How could she tease him? She was obviously talking to him, but she didn't see him silent after waiting for a while. She just wanted to see if he was asleep, so how could it become teasing him? Forget it, don't bother with him, it's important to talk about serious things first.

"I want to send Zihao to school after the New Year. Can you tell me what I need to prepare before going to school?"

"Okay, I'll go find out tomorrow." Du Wei closed his eyes, and his hands kept stroking Li Suniang's delicate hands on his chest, seemingly unintentional but also intentional.

Well, if he can't eat, then touching the little hand can satisfy his craving! But the more he touches, the more his heart churns.

Li Suniang was not much better at this moment. The skin under the palm of her hand pressed on Du Wei's chest felt hotter and hotter, and her heartbeat wrapped in the skin was beating faster and faster. Du Wei's breathing was also louder than before.

As Du Wei's breathing became louder, Li Suniang felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, her heartbeat began to accelerate, and even the quilt was getting hotter and hotter. She felt that every breath she took had an ambiguous taste.

Oh, this won't work. She might not be able to escape tonight. She doesn't want to make the same noise as last night, otherwise she doesn't know when she will get up tomorrow.

To quickly break up the ambiguous atmosphere, Li Suniang had to find a topic to talk about.

"Husband... Husband, have you ever thought about changing your career to do something else? I heard from Aunt Yang that being a bodyguard is actually very dangerous. Now you are also a family man."

Li Suniang felt that she would probably only marry Du Wei in this life. She didn't want to be a widow again. She would be labeled as a husband-killer. Maybe she could continue to live with a thick face, but she had to think about her children. Although she only has a little boy now, who can be sure that last night would not result in a pregnancy? Maybe the seeds have found a place to land at this moment! It will take root and sprout soon. So, for herself and her future children, she prayed that God would bless Du Wei to be healthy and safe.

"... Dad mentioned this to me a few days ago, but I don't know what I can do if I'm not an escort. Farm? But this kind of land depends on the weather. If the year is good, we can have a prosperous year. If it is a bad year, we can only make ends meet. Sometimes we may not even have enough food and clothing. Besides, I think the boys in our family will be sent to school in the future, and the daughters will have to help save up for the dowry. How can the income from the farm be enough? The money from escorting the escorts is faster." Du Wei tried hard to calm his heart, so he answered slowly.

"But escorting is too dangerous. If something happens to you, have you ever thought about our family, the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children? In fact, I think as long as you work hard, you can always make money. For our family, you don't have to continue to do such dangerous work." When Li Suniang thought that she would worry about Du Wei every time he went out to escort her, she would not be able to sleep well. She felt that her heart would not be able to bear it sooner or later. In order not to die early in the future, she must persuade Du Wei to quit that dangerous job.

After hearing what Li Suniang said, Du Wei, who had been closing his eyes, finally opened his eyes. He turned his head and saw the worried look in Li Suniang's eyes, and his heart was warm. He gently patted Li Suniang's back with the hand that was holding her and comforted her, "Don't worry, don't think too much. You see, I have been safe for so many years. It's okay, don't worry!"

However, Du Wei's words of comfort did not work on Li Suniang at all. She still wanted to persuade Du Wei to give up his position as an escort, but before she opened her mouth, Du Wei turned over and got on her.

Du Wei had originally planned to let Li Suniang have a good rest tonight, but who could blame Li Suniang for being restless and always talking in his ear? The warm breath made Du Wei's heart restless, and she didn't even know it. She even stretched out her hands to seduce him back and forth. How could he bear it?

"You..." Li Suniang only said one word and the rest of the words were blocked by Du Wei. Time passed minute by minute. This night, Du Wei did not do it repeatedly like last night, but only did it once and let Li Suniang go, but this time it was really long enough.

"The tuition fee of three taels of silver plus the writing brush, ink, and paper is estimated to cost at least five or six taels of silver, and this does not include the gift for the teacher." After listening to Du Wei's words, Li Suniang calculated and couldn't help but be amazed.

She really didn't expect that going to school would cost so much money, which is equivalent to an ordinary family being able to marry two wives, and some even don't spend so much for a year. No wonder ordinary people in ancient times couldn't afford to send their children to school. Every family has three or five sons, and this would not be enough to spend all the household expenses a few years in advance.

"Well... I'm going out in two days, and I may not be home for a while." When Du Wei said this, he looked at Li Suniang with some apology in his eyes.

"The escort agency has received another job?" Lao Du asked. For him, this is already a habit.

"... Didn't you say that there will be no escort before the New Year?" When Du Wei told the second news, Li Suniang was still thinking about how much money she had on hand, and then she reacted after hearing what Lao Du said.

She immediately turned her head to look at Du Wei, looking at him with disbelief, hoping to see a hint of joking on his face, but unfortunately, she was disappointed. Du Wei also glanced at Li Suniang and then looked away with a guilty conscience.

He also knew that it was indeed not good for him to leave at this time, after all, he had just married her, but there was no way because the job he did was so uncertain. Originally, the chief escort also told him to stay at home and spend more time with his wife, but who knew that he would receive such a task today?

"There is no way, Dad. This time it was instructed by the county government, and I have no choice but to go!" Du Wei said helplessly.

When Lao Du heard that it was the county government's order, he didn't say anything. He also knew that if he wanted to run a good escort company, it was necessary to find a government official as a backer. Otherwise, they would send someone to challenge him now and then, and he didn't know whether the escort company could continue to operate.

"What about this time..." Lao Du asked with some concern. After all, he was an escort from the government, and he didn't know how dangerous it was.

Du Wei thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with this escort, so he said, "The county magistrate wants to send some things back to his hometown. The New Year is coming soon! It will take at least one or two months to go back and forth. It is estimated that I can return to celebrate the New Year before the New Year."

"The closer it is to New Year, the less safe it is on the road. You should be careful. Since you can return in time, don't rush on the road. I thought you would go out after the New Year, but I didn't expect to go out before the New Year. Fortunately, I asked your aunt Cuihua to make two pairs of shoes for you a while ago. I don't know if they are ready now. Otherwise, I will urge her tomorrow and try to finish them before you go out.

Alas, your aunt Cuihua is also old, and her eyesight is not as good as before." Lao Du said, beginning to nag.

"Dad, it's okay, don't urge me. Don't urge me. There are still a few pairs of shoes at home. I will bring them to you when the time comes." Du Wei said to his father.

"The few pairs of shoes at home are already a bit worn out. I'm afraid that your shoes will be torn before you even walk." Lao Du knew how many pairs of shoes his son had.

"Don't worry, if they are all torn, I'll buy a pair outside."

"The ones I buy outside won't fit as well as the ones you make yourself." Lao Du muttered quietly.

Li Suniang ate quietly on the side, listening to what the father and son said.

It seems that going out to escort is very damaging to the shoes, so should she show her appreciation by making a pair of shoes for Du Wei?
