Chapter 88
To Wei Ting’s surprise, the candle was not much shorter than before he slept.
In other words, not much time had passed.
Had this woman drugged him? To make him sleep so quickly.
The screams continued. It was a little far away. Wei Ting was a martial artist, so he could hear a little intermittently.
He hesitated for a moment and shook Su Xiaoxiao’s shoulder. “Wake up, something happened.”
Su Xiaoxiao was sleeping so soundly that she had long forgotten that Wei Ting was lying beside her.
She pulled Wei Ting into her arms and gently patted his back. “Xiaohu, stop fooling around...”
Wei Ting was speechless.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and held his breath in time so he would not faint from the suffocation!
However, it was precisely because he did not faint that he felt the softness and fragrance.
Wei Ting blushed and hurriedly took her chubby arm away. He sat up straight and said seriously, “Something seems to have happened to Old Li’s family!”
“What did you say? What happened to Old Li’s house?” Su Xiaoxiao woke up.
“Someone’s calling out,” Wei Ting said. “It’s a scream.”
The Su family and Old Li’s family lived at the end of the village and at the entrance. It was true that Wei Ting’s hearing was too heaven-defying. Otherwise, even an expert in the Imperial City might not have been woken up by such a distant sound.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t hear him.
However, she did not suspect that Wei Ting was lying to her or had heard wrongly.
They had endless arguments, but they also had unspeakable trust.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to put on her clothes.
The situation was urgent, so she couldn’t care less about decency and climbed over Wei Ting.
The young woman’s fragrance entered Wei Ting’s nose again.
Wei Ting’s eyes flickered as he turned around slightly.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the cotton shirt and turned around to see Wei Ting lifting the blanket and getting out of bed.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’ll go with you to take a look,” Wei Ting said.
“Can your leg withstand it?”
“It’s fine.”
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t refuse.
Wei Ting was still not used to the type of clothes in the countryside. He had to take a long time every time he buttoned himself.
After Su Xiaoxiao put on her clothes, he was still frowning at the buttons.
“I’ll do it!”
Su Xiaoxiao walked forward. “Raise your arms!”
Wei Ting obediently raised his arm.
Su Xiaoxiao buttoned him up seriously and quickly, then grabbed the belt to fasten it for him.
The two of them did not consummate their marriage, but at this moment, for the first time, they looked like a real couple-a wife tidying her husband’s clothes.
Su Xiaoxiao’s attention was all on Old Li’s house, so she didn’t notice that the two of them were a little too intimate.
Wei Ting looked at a fat girl who was wholeheartedly helping him change. “You...”
“Let’s go!” Su Xiaoxiao said.
After tidying up, they could go out!
Wei Ting shut up.
Su Xiaoxiao handed him his walking stick. Seeing that he looked like he was owed money, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Wei Ting leaned on his walking stick and left with a cold expression.

At this time, the villagers had already fallen asleep. There was only some movement in the other Su family.
The two of them heard the woman’s screams and some children’s sad and afraid cries from afar.
“It’s Qiuni.”
Wei Ting said.
He was often pulled by Su Cheng to learn farming from Madam Qian. He had seen Madam Qian and Old Li’s grandchildren. The grandson was three years old and was called Shuanzi. The granddaughter was seven years old and was called Qiuni.
The one crying now was Qiuni.
The woman who was screaming was undoubtedly the mother of Qiuni and Shuanzi, Madam Zhao.
The village head’s house was next door. He and his wife were also woken up. When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting arrived, he had just come out of bed with only half of his cotton shirt buttoned.
“Daya, Mr. Wei?”
The village head was surprised.
In the past, he was just like the villagers and addressed Wei Ting as Brother. Later on, after seeing Wei Ting’s talent, he felt a sense of respect and changed the way he addressed him.
“Village Head,” Wei Ting greeted.
“Why are you guys here?” the village head asked.
Wei Ting said, “We heard some commotion in the Li family, so we came over to take a look.”
How could he hear it from so far away? What kind of ears did the two of them have?
He was only woken up at this moment!
Wei Ting went to knock on the door. Just as he raised his hand, the door was pulled open.
It was Old Li who opened the door.
Old Li was shocked to see them standing at the door!
“Grandpa Li, it’s us,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Old Li wiped his cold sweat and asked, “Daya? Brother Ting? Village Head? Why are you here?”
