Chapter 265: Chapter 265: He Must Learn to Protect His Mother

Tian Cuixia giggled as he touched her, pinching the soft flesh around his waist, "Look how eager you are, has your wife made you into a monk again?"

Li Guangyuan kissed her passionately, his breathing becoming heavier, "Monk or not, could she compare to you? Cuixia, I’ve missed you so much, you don’t know how much I’ve thought of you these days, thought of you till it hurt."

Tian Cuixia pushed him away with a smile, "Don’t try to sweet talk me, I am no eighteen-nineteen-year-old girl, and I know exactly what you men are thinking. If you missed me so much, how come you didn’t come to see me for so many days? I heard you’ve been doing some big business deals lately, look at how different your clothes and things are. You say she can’t compare to me in front of my face, but you haven’t come for so many days, you must be at home pampering your wife, right?"

Li Guangyuan wasn’t embarrassed being seen through; he approached her again, grinning cheekily.

"Things have been really busy at home lately, I’m a grown man, I can’t be selling vegetables for a lifetime. The business I’m doing now isn’t huge, but the income is decent."

Li Guangyuan had indeed been pampering his wife recently.

Lin Jiayi had gotten the cooked food recipes from her parents’ home, and they had been making and selling their own cooked food for some time now.

Although the taste of their cooked food was slightly inferior to Qin’s Cooked Food, what meat isn’t tasty?

Plus, they were selling in the nearby villages, and everyone knew his wife was Lin Chuxia’s elder sister, so naturally, the business was pretty good.

How many people in their village could run to the county to buy cooked food? It was whatever they said.

This wisdom had come from his wife, and he had to admit she did have a knack for business.

Or perhaps it could be said the Lin Family had a knack for business.

So, he dared not run off to town these days. After the last incident, his wife had become suspicious, and he absolutely couldn’t stir up trouble at this critical moment.

Seeing Tian Cuixia looking a bit displeased, Li Guangyuan hurriedly took down the things from the handlebar of his cart to give to her.

"This is the cooked food we made ourselves, try it later, it’s no worse than Qin’s Cooked Food."

Seeing a benefit, Tian Cuixia immediately put on a smiling face, "Then I must try it well. Just remember, when you make it big one day, don’t forget about me."

"How could I? Don’t worry, I could forget anyone but not you. Hurry up, will you? Do you want to kill me with anticipation?"

As he spoke, he pounced on her.

Tian Cuixia was kissed breathlessly by him but also enjoyed this fierce and impatient side of a man.

Nonsense, if a man isn’t strong, what good is he?

Li Guangyuan was young and healthy, and Tian Cuixia was very satisfied with him.

"Don’t go there; the child is napping in that room."

Tian Cuixia saw him heading towards the inner room and reminded him.

Li Guangyuan turned around with her in his arms and headed into another room...

Erdan was woken up in a daze by the noise, hearing his mother’s voice rising and falling, interspersed with a man’s voice, he got up with a start.

He knew his mother was often beaten by men; he had no father, just his mother looking after them both, living a widow’s life, and they were looked down upon by others, with many men coming over to beat his mother.

Even though those men were not bad to him, Erdan knew his mother was the best to him in this world.

He was already 5 years old; a big kid now, and he had to protect his mother.

He climbed down from the kang with bare feet, by now hearing clearly that his mother was in the opposite room.

As he left the house, he picked up the broom standing beside the door.

He extended his little hand gently pushing open the door, seeing his mother pinned down under a man, being beaten fiercely.

The weather was too hot, the man was sweating profusely, and his mother’s clothes had been scattered, she had no strength to struggle, only able to helplessly scream.

"What time is it? It’s not often you come to the county town..."

She reached out again to pull on his clothes.

Li Guangyuan held her hand, "Next time, I still have things to do, I really have to go."

He came to the county to buy spices, and he had to pick up some goods later.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t be able to make a round to Tian Cuixia’s place.

But if he delayed any longer, his wife at home would definitely suspect him again.

Tian Cuixia snorted derisively, "Coward."

......

When Li Guangyuan got home with the freshly purchased meat and offal, Lin Jiayi and Li Dongmei had just come back from the outside.

Although Lin Jiayi’s stomach was protruding, her feet were quick, and her face bore a contented smile not seen for a long time.

Li Dongmei carried a basket on her back, following behind her, without the usual confrontational attitude towards her sister-in-law, and even showing a touch of submission.

Seeing Li Guangyuan just returning, Lin Jiayi frowned slightly, "Why so late?"

Li Guangyuan propped the cart, unloading goods while replying, "Today’s offal at the butcher’s was not great, so I didn’t buy it. I went to another butcher’s which delayed me a bit; I also bought some spices."

"Another butcher’s? Was it cheaper than the previous one? We had a hard time negotiating a lower price."

"It’s alright, it’s a bit more expensive, but with the hot weather everyday, if the meat’s not fresh, it can indeed cause trouble if people get sick."

Lin Jiayi seemed unbothered, "It doesn’t make people sick so easily. Besides, if someone does get sick, that’s the butcher’s responsibility, they gave us unfresh meat. Business is not easy for us; we can barely make much as it is, so we still need to be frugal. Don’t do this next time."
