The scorching heat of the Dog Days of Summer, like even the air has been dried up. 。 In the quiet village of Xinghu, at the foot of a vast mountain range, willow leaves rustled softly, and in a dilapidated rural courtyard, two people chatted. 。"Sister-in-law Wanru, if your silly nephew really can't find a wife, why don't you just be his wife?" 。"Anyway, you're a widow and he's a young man, always hanging around outside. You don't mind, but we do." 。The village head's daughter-in-law spat and then walked away. 。Zhao Wanru sat on the mat under the willow tree in the courtyard. She was just twenty-seven years old this year, wearing a thin floral checkered blouse and her long braids hung down to her full mouth. A faded linen long dress outlined her unique waistline, which was very charming. 。Her pretty face was flushed with embarrassment and shame, her round cheeks under the patched clothing outlining a perfect curve. That watery look on her delicate features was something that any man would want to hold close and cherish. 。These days, there are a lot of rumors flying around. I'm struggling inside, even in my dreams at night, my late husband from two years ago is begging me to leave incense for the Li family. 。They fled to Xinghuacun with their husband, and were taken in by Li Yang's parents. Li's father is the village doctor of Xinghuacun and was kind to them. 。Seven years ago, the two elders died unexpectedly, and Li Yang couldn't handle the shock and became mentally disabled. 。Soon after, her husband also passed away. It wasn't easy for a widow to support a family, let alone find a wife for an idiot. 。These years, as soon as it's dawn I have to go to work and when I get back home at night, I don't even have time to rest before I have to cook dinner. That much is fine, but where am I supposed to find a wife for an idiot? 。"Oh my God, what should I do? Haven't I already sacrificed enough as a woman?""Must I even send my child out there to sleep with him?!" Zhao Wanru covered her face and burst into tears. 。Her heart was filled with a thousand grievances, tears streaming down her face silently. A helpless and sorrowful sob echoed through the dilapidated farm courtyard. Even the withered willow tree in the yard seemed to sympathize, its branches swaying in the wind, shedding leaves that formed layer upon layer on the ground. 。Xinhua Village, nestled against a mountain, can truly be described as a picturesque landscape of green hills and sparkling water. Fields of rice are interspersed with small ponds, exuding a rich rustic charm. However, even beautiful things lose their appeal after prolonged exposure. 。Most of the men in the village go to the city to work, leaving behind only women, the elderly, and children. 。With a splash, a young man suddenly emerged from the pond. He was tall and strong, wearing only a loincloth. His eyes were vacant, and in his hand he clutched a large turtle, grinning foolishly. 。"Wanru, there's fish to eat, there's fish to eat!" 。Li Yang quickly ran towards home. 。In the courtyard at this moment, wisps of gray smoke are billowing from the chimney, and the sound of splitting firewood echoes. After Zhao Wanru cried herself out, she began to cook around the stove, feeling a bit uneasy. Her short sleeves revealed her fair arms. When she bent over to stir-fry vegetables, a graceful curve of her waist appeared. The smell of oil smoke stung her eyes, which were slightly red, giving her a pitiful and charming look. 。Listening to the sound of chopping wood outside, my heart ached. How am I going to sleep tonight!After hesitating for a moment, I opened the kitchen curtains and saw that tall man in the yard with his sleeves rolled up. His dark skin showed faint blue veins beneath it, his hands wielding the axe, splitting chunks of wood as big as bowls into two pieces 。Every time it rises and sets, its heart beats once. It thinks about what will happen tonight, and its eyes are filled with fear. 。The bead-like sweat ran down his forehead, gathering on the gray scar tissue of his temple. At this moment, a thick musk emanated from him. 。His heart beat faster, more panicked. Thinking about the village head's wife's words, he realized he had grown up, he was a man now. It wasn't right to keep going like this without a wife. He couldn't just keep his youthful energy bottled up; sooner or later something would happen. 。Zhao Wanru's face was filled with hesitation and worry, her small hands nervously clutching the white cotton of her clothes. She pulled at it so hard that a round lump formed on her chest, revealing a patch of bare skin where her foot had been sticking out from her slippers. 。"Sister Wanru, can you eat... fish?" Suddenly, a tall and burly figure appeared at the edge of my vision. 。"Um, hurry... okay..." 。"Zhao Wanru managed a strained smile and helped Li Yang up, feeling the heat on his face. Her heart pounded, remembering that she had put the prized turtle in the pot to stew. She felt guilty, hoping that Li's parents wouldn't blame her for being so shameless." 。"Sister Wanru, your hand... it's cold. Is it comfortable?" 。Li Yang smiled sheepishly. 。"Are you comfortable? I'll make you even more comfortable later, so don't run away." 。Zhao Wanru chuckled, then wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, loosened her veil, and walked into the kitchen. 。After dinner, it got dark. A faint light filled the room, and on the bed sat a pretty young woman in... 。Zhao Wanru buried her head between her arms, sobbing softly. She was only wearing a thin undershirt and white cotton shorts that clung to her prominent hips. Her skin was as white as snow, and her waist was so slender it was almost impossible to grasp. Her little feet curled up on the bed like orchids. 。Getting to this point was truly a last resort. Marrying a wife costs money, and I simply don't have it. 。It's alright to let a young man run around outside, after all, he is a man now. He's also worried that Li Yang might cause trouble, after all, there are too many women left behind in the village. 。I had some puffy eyelids, so I unbuttoned my blouse, and suddenly a large, menacing chest seemed eager to reveal itself. I glanced down, blushing and sighing softly. I paused for a moment in the room before calling out to Li Yang, asking him to bring in a basin of foot-washing water. 。"If you owe the Li family money, then use your son as collateral. Husband, don't blame me." 。"The room door creaked open, and a tall figure in only a big hat and vest, with a goofy grin on his face, walked in. It was Li Yang. He glanced at Wanru, who was sitting by the bed, and his dull eyes suddenly became hot for a moment. He instinctively swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on her, but he didn't dare to approach, as if afraid that the woman before him would get angry." 。"Foolish one, stay here tonight. 。Zhao Wanru looked at him, a soft sigh escaping her lips. 。Well, it seems I've really grown up. Now I know what it means to miss someone. 。"Sister Wanru, I..." 。"Li Yang swallowed nervously, his eyes burning with a newfound intensity. Though he was naive, he was still a man." 。"I don't know if you're truly stupid or faking it. Well, come on then, let's do this." 。Zhao Wanru's heart pounded. In the end, she mustered her courage. But when she met his gaze, it was like he wanted to devour her whole. His eyes burned with a fiery intensity, a surging passion that brimmed with pure masculinity. 。My heart was pounding, filled with regret, uncertainty and fear. But I gritted my teeth, took a deep breath, lowered the mosquito net, and pulled off the last of my clothes. I walked towards him, trembling. My hand reached out and gently grasped his. We stumbled to the bedside together. 。"Fool, tonight I belong to you!"
