Chapter 35: Laundry

Wei Luan was in Lin Yi’s arms and did not dare to move. Not long after, he heard Lin Yi’s even breathing. It seemed like Lin Yi had fallen asleep.

After she fell asleep, Lin Yi did not seem as restrained anymore. She hugged Wei Luan even more tightly, probably because she was greedy for the warmth of Wei Luan’s body. Her entire body was pressed tightly against Wei Luan, and Wei Luan could clearly feel the curves and softness of her body.

Memories of that night surfaced in his mind. Wei Luan’s breathing quickened and his body felt hot as if it was on fire. His body temperature instantly rose.

Behind him, Lin Yi lifted her leg and placed it on Wei Luan’s body. Wei Luan was so scared that he was sweating profusely.

Lin Yi’s fragrance lingered around Wei Luan. Although it was a cold day, his entire body was burning as if he was sleeping in the middle of summer.

Wei Luan barely slept that night and stayed up until dawn.

On the other hand, Lin Yi had a good night’s sleep. When she woke up the next day, she felt it was even better than sleeping in an air-conditioned room.

The spot beside her was already empty. Wei Luan had already gotten up and gone to work with the production team.

Lin Yi saw that the weather outside was good, so she decided to do the laundry.

Just as she was about to wash the clothes, Liuliu jumped out from the side. “Sister Yiyi, Brother Wei Luan doesn’t want you to work. He wants you to rest.”

Lin Yi was stunned. She did not expect Wei Luan to tell Liuliu about this before he left.

Although this man did not really like her, Lin Yi had to admit that he was a good husband.

Lin Yi patted Liuliu’s head and smiled, “I call the shots in the family, so even he has to listen to me. Go play outside, I’m going to do the laundry.”

“But…”

“Don’t worry. If Brother Wei Luan reprimands you, I will stop him. After washing the clothes, I will come back and cook something delicious for you, okay?”

In Liuliu’s eyes, the mistress of the house was Lin Yi since Wei Luan usually listened to her. Liuliu hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Then I’ll go to the back of the mountain to take a look.”

“Be careful.”

After Liuliu left, Lin Yi washed her dirty clothes and prepared to go to the riverside to rinse them.

She had never come to the river to wash clothes before. This was her first time.

As soon as she arrived, she saw that there were already a few women by the river. Everyone had gathered around and chatted happily.

As soon as they saw Lin Yi, they stopped chatting and laughing. After a few seconds, the women started to whisper.

Lin Yi knew that the original Lin Yi did not have a good reputation in the village. Now that she was married to Wei Luan, who came from a bad family, these women would definitely reject her even more.

In this era, having a bad background was a very serious matter. Not only did they not have the rights that ordinary people had, but they also did not receive the respect of others. No matter where they went, they were inferior.

Lin Yi did not care about this. She found a quiet spot, squatted down, put the basin aside, and washed her clothes one by one.

The river water was not polluted, so it was very clean. Lin Yi carefully washed the clothes in the basin.

“Did Lin Yi come here to wash clothes? Did I see wrongly? Isn’t she from the city? Why would she do such a thing?”

“Wei Luan probably doesn’t like her, so she had no choice but to come out to wash his clothes!”

“Have you noticed that Lin Yi seems to have changed recently? Although I don’t know what’s changed…”

“No matter what, it’s a good thing that she’s married. When she used to work in the production team, my annoying husband keeps staring at her. It’s so infuriating.”

The women lowered their voices and gossiped.

Lin Yi was unaccustomed to doing household chores, and she was also a clean freak. She kept worrying that she would not be able to wash her clothes properly, so she washed them much slower than others. Many women had left, but she still had not finished washing them.

After Carpenter Li’s wife finished washing the clothes, she sent food to Carpenter Li, who was working in the fields.

Carpenter Li’s wife was usually a talkative person. After finding a flat spot to sit down, she said to Carpenter Li, “Let me tell you, I saw Lin Yi just now. She was washing clothes by the river. I didn’t expect to see her there since she looks like someone who can’t do chores. I heard she only uses her hands for playing the violin!”

Carpenter Li smiled honestly. “After all, she’s married, so she has to learn and adapt.”

Carpenter Li’s wife nodded. “That’s true, but I do admire Wei Luan. I wonder what he did to make Lin Yi agree to stay with him and try to make things work.”
