Chapter 503: Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst

become the headman and promise you rations"The villagers also found it strange."That's right, Li Gou's attitude is too big, isn't it Who gave him the guts to make such a promise to others.""It's craz...Zongyu swallowed, handing the balm in his hand over. He had forgotten to give it earlier.

"Here you go."

Fāng Jǐnxiù's first reaction upon seeing the ointment was happiness, "When did you get this"

This man, though he doesn't talk much, is actually very caring and thoughtful.

"I got this before we came out, I just forgot to give it to you."

"Use this wash, it smells nice."

Fang Jinshi didn't know what she was thinking, the smile on her lips paused for a moment.

How do you know this is for women to bathe with

Did Zongyu ever buy gifts for other women before

As soon as she thought of this possibility, Fang Jinshu's heart suddenly felt a little awkward, and the smile in her eyes gradually faded.

Zong Yu hadn't noticed yet that Fang Jinxiu was facing away from him, and he couldn't see what expression was on her face at this moment.

"Before, Jade Lotus had me bring some for her, but the ones you brought back are better than those I bought."

"The daughter-in-law bought it, it smells better." Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!

It was Jade Lotus all along.

Fang Jinxiu realized her sudden surge of jealousy, finding it amusing.

She is so honest it's unbelievable. Because of her strong physique and the scar on her face, she has always been called "Yaksha" by the villagers.

Not to mention women, even men rarely interacted with him. How could she possibly think that A-Yu had ever dated any girl before

Hu Ailan had lived under the same roof with Zong for two years, seeing each other every day, but she still hadn't won over A Yu.

Her thoughts just now were indeed inappropriate, she shouldn't have doubted her man.

Fang Jinshu still had her back to Zongyu, reaching out towards him, "Then give it to me."

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, she remembered that she was still naked. Although the two of them had already had many intimate moments, Fang Jinshu still felt shy.

My toes curled under the water, my heart pounding in my chest.

"A-yu"

She turned her head away, but kept her hand still, the ointment untouched. As Fang Jinshu called out softly, she instinctively wanted to turn back and see what was wrong with him.

I don't know if it was because of nervousness, or if the volcanic stones at the bottom of my feet were just too slippery.

Fang Jinshu stumbled, letting out a cry as her body tilted and she plunged into the water.

Zong Yu reacted extremely quickly, almost instantly jumping down. One arm embraced Fang Jinxiu's slender waist with a gentle grip and lifted her up.

"Whew! Ayou, I, I'm fine."

The moment Fang Jinshu fell into the water, she felt utterly embarrassed. How could she always make such a fool of herself in front of Zong Yu

This completely ruined her image in his heart.

Those who are light in weight in the water have some trouble standing. The pool was over a meter deep, and in order to fight against buoyancy, Fang Jinshui had to hold on tightly to Zong Yu.

They were pressed together in the water, how familiar this scene felt.

Fang Jinshu's mind quickly flashed back to the last time the two of them discovered the pool and went for a swim, her ears gradually turning red.

She, after all, is a doctor.

Men, holding things in is bad for your health.

Moreover, Zong Yu was already twenty-eight years old. She was genuinely worried that when the time came for their wedding night, Zong Yu would, well, cough, cough, wouldn't be able to...

Given the close proximity, Zongyu couldn't help but react physically.

Fang Jinshu also realized that when men hold back for too long, it's bad for their bodies.

She restrained her shyness and, as Zong Yu was about to rise and leave, reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Wait."

"I, I'll help you."

Zong Yu's head suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

The temperature inside the mountain cave by the pool was getting higher and higher. Fang Jinshi felt her whole body burning up, and breathing became difficult.

She knew full well that volcanic rock couldn't generate such high temperatures. It was her shame that was driving her.

Yet, she willingly embraced Zongyu and sank into despair with him.

After an unknown amount of time, the surface of the water finally calmed down.

Fāng Jǐnxiù softened her body, leaning against Zōng Yù's embrace, "Let's go home quickly, I...I'm done washing."

Zong Yiping took a deep breath, although his daughter-in-law's hands were soft and she was putting in a lot of effort.

But this was just a temporary solution for Zongyu's reputation. The more she acted like this, the more she seemed to be testing his self-control.

Zong Yu didn't dare tell Fang Jinxiu that he now longed to hold her and consummate their marriage right here.

But I'm afraid of scaring her.

Only endure, endure again and endure. Conceal all emotions and desires deep within your heart.

"Good."

Let's go home.

Fang Jinxiu didn't know how she had been so bold just now. She was now too ashamed to even lift her head.

"Please go out and wait for me, I, I'll come out when I'm dressed."

Zong Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. His daughter-in-law had thin skin, and he couldn't bear to tease her any longer.

"Hmm."moment, suddenly a servant brought in a vegetable vendor, who was sweating profusely and looked terrified."Madam, the farmhand from the vegetable field requests an audience."The long river nodded, all...
