CHAPTER 103: 103: SO EMBARRASSING AH (1)_1

Dong Huiying slept very well and by the time she woke up, the day was already bright.

She opened her eyes groggily and then stretched lazily. But as she sat up, the quilt slid down, and she suddenly froze.

What is this?

She widened her eyes in shock!!

My god, she definitely didn’t have the habit of sleeping naked. So she desperately tried to recall the events of the previous night. She remembered taking a bath after dinner, but it seemed that she fell asleep in the tub?

But when she woke up, she found herself lying on the bed?

This...

A twitch in the corner of her eye, Dong Huiying swallowed. She lifted the quilt and looked at the bed.

Well, her body was normal, and there was no blood. Although she was naked, nothing inappropriate should have happened,

But...

Ah, she wanted to die!

Even her toes knew that it must have been Haoming who carried her to the bed.

Even though she wasn’t particularly attractive and her body was thin and unappealing, being seen completely naked, naked, naked...

Inside her mind, a little person was in a state of disarray.

Half an eternity passed.

Dong Huiying, with her dark complexion, put on her clothes slowly and reluctantly.

If possible, she really wanted to burrow into a hole and hide, but unfortunately, she was neither a pangolin nor a groundhog.

Sigh.

"Knock knock knock," someone was at the door.

"Are you, awake?"

Dong Huiying felt a moment of embarrassment, "Uh, yeah, I’m awake."

She walked out of the house slowly, with her head hung low, her expression sheepish. Because she felt so awkward, she didn’t even dare to glance at Liang Haoming.

Haoming didn’t look at her either, and simply picked up the bags and packages from the day before.

She was taken aback.

Glancing outside the courtyard, she saw an oxcart parked there, with the older sister driving it munching on a cornbread.

She quickly offered, "I’ll help too!"

Haoming, expressionless, glanced at her and then quickly looked away again.

Dong Huiying: "..."

...

In Kaoshan Village, at the Liang family’s home.

Yixuan scooped out the last bit of cornmeal, and looking at the empty grain bin, he couldn’t help but sigh heavily.

Dong Huiying had left the day before, hadn’t come back last night, and there was only enough food at home for one last meal. After that, they’d run out of food.

Zhi Chen came in carrying a bundle of firewood.

"Yixuan?"

Seeing Yixuan standing there, lost in thought in front of the grain bin, Zhi Chen first scooped up some water to wash his hands, then he turned his head and asked, "What’s up, what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how there’s only a small bag of potatoes left in the cellar, and the cabbage has already been finished," he said with resignation as he looked at the bran he had scooped out, "and there’s only this little bit of wheat bran left."

Zhi Chen paused for a moment.

After washing his hands and shaking them dry, he said, "Let’s wait a bit longer. If she doesn’t come back, we’ll go to Aunt Lin’s house to borrow some and ask Yue Ning to go up the mountain to hunt some pheasants or hares to sell for some money."

"Yeah."

Yixuan nodded, then took some potatoes and made a simple meal.

In the afternoon, Yixuan, with nothing better to do, pulled a small stool outside the courtyard and sat there, looking absent-minded.

Suddenly, he saw an oxcart approaching, and he first stared, then abruptly stood up.

On the oxcart, like a small mountain, piled high with bags, apart from the older sister driving it, there were two other people on it—Dong Huiying and Liang Haoming.

"Big brother, fourth brother is back!" he called out, then dragged his lame leg to greet them.

As the oxcart stopped outside the Liang family’s courtyard, Dong Huiying hopped off quickly, as if her backside was on fire.

"Big sister, here’s the fare, please take it."

She stuffed a few copper coins into the hands of the older sister driving the cart, who cradled her stomach and exclaimed, "Oh my."
