CHAPTER 912: CHAPTER 914: EYESORE

The group happily returned to Shitou’s small courtyard.

Once they reached the yard, Yang Ming advised, "Sister-in-law, you and Little Shitou should head inside to sleep for a bit. We’ve been busy all night. I’ll head to town shortly to buy a carriage, and once we have that, we’ll set off again."

"Okay, sure!" Shitou’s mother agreed and went inside with Little Shitou. Although the villagers no longer rejected them, she was determined this time to take her son to the Grand Theater.

It was just dawn, and everyone would normally still be asleep. After a hectic night, they indeed needed to catch up on some rest.

At this moment, Little Liufu in Xiaoxiao’s arms woke up again and cried out a couple of times. Yang Ming thought his son must be hungry, so he said, "Honey, you go inside first, and I’ll go get some milk for our son."

"Okay." Xiaoxiao agreed and was about to head inside.

"Girl, when are we eating? I’m starving."

"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless. How could he still be thinking about eating? What was his stomach made of? Didn’t everyone fill up before we set off?

Xiaoxiao ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted.

She went inside, put Little Liufu down, opened the bundle, and found that he had wet his diaper.

Once she had tidied up Little Liufu, Yang Ming came in, "Son, the milk is here."

Xiaoxiao took the milk and spoon-fed him, teasing while feeding, "Son, why did you choose that moment to cry? It stopped everyone from leaving."

Yang Ming chuckled, "It’s a good thing he cried. Now we can leave openly."

Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed. They had indeed narrowly escaped danger. Thinking about last night, Xiaoxiao giggled.

"Honey, what are you laughing about now?"

"Haha, I’m laughing at how we all huddled in the corner watching a good show."

This was Xiaoxiao’s first time watching a live drama. Although she didn’t see it clearly, at the time, she was too scared to really watch.

Hearing this, Yang Ming’s expression darkened, "Honey, are you reminiscing?"

"..." Huh?

But then Yang Ming’s face broke into a mischievous grin, "If you’re reminiscing, focus on us, don’t think about others."

"..." Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words. What was there to reminisce about? She awkwardly said, "I wouldn’t think back on that, it’s too embarrassing."

After feeding their son, Xiaoxiao sighed, "This kid really can eat."

"He hasn’t eaten all night, of course he’s hungry."

Mentioning the child’s hunger from the previous night reminded Yang Ming of his wife almost lifting her shirt to feed their son, which sparked his jealousy.

His son breastfeeding in front of a stranger was unacceptable, both were intolerable and made him wildly jealous, "Honey, you can’t feed the baby anymore. Your... should be for me only."

"..." Yang Ming’s words made Xiaoxiao’s mind buzz.

She felt both shy and bashful, nodding, "Okay."

Actually, she didn’t want to either, but faced with such a situation, she had to be bold. Fortunately, the villagers arrived to stop her.

Later, Yang Ming warned, "Honey, you need to protect yourself, stay with Shitou’s mother as much as possible to avoid being harassed by that man. I’m going to get the carriage from town now."

"Husband, why don’t you eat before you go?"

"No need, I’m leaving now. I’ve packed some provisions. The sooner I go, the sooner I return. I just feel we shouldn’t stay in this village any longer."
