1970s Gangster Couple Chapter 21

<<< 1970s Gangster Couple >>>

Wang Wei pulled Xiao Xiao away, leaving Wang Mu trembling alone on the spot. In the past, Wang Wei had wanted to kill her, making her both afraid and hateful. Now, although Wang Wei no longer felt such intense hatred towards her, the mockery and contempt still made her feel even more uncomfortable.

In the following days, Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao went to the mountain every day. The food inside the cave was already piled up, and Wang Wei even disguised the entrance of the cave to conceal the supplies. He instructed Zhuang Zhuang to keep a close eye on the food.

Since Zhuang Zhuang's return, not even an ant dared to approach the vicinity of the cave, putting Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao at ease. They consumed the food grown from the nutrient solution and later raised some rabbits and wild chickens using the same method, ensuring an ample supply of meat. After two months, both of them underwent significant transformations in their appearances.

With their nutrition replenished, Wang Wei's overall health visibly improved. Previously, he appeared frail, but now, he experienced a transformation. His limbs became long and well-proportioned, his body gained a healthy and athletic look, and his face became fuller. Coupled with those green eyes, he became stunningly handsome, almost too captivating to gaze directly upon.

Originally possessing a delicate and refined appearance, Xiao Xiao's transformation might not be as striking as Wang Wei's, but compared to before, she had undergone a complete metamorphosis, as if reborn.

Her skin radiated a rosy glow, her eyes sparkled with clarity and moisture, and her laughter became exceptionally sweet. Her body was no longer frail and prone to collapse at the slightest breeze. With complete nutrition, the vibrant and healthy aura of youthful beauty enveloped the young girl.

Such noticeable changes didn't go unnoticed by the people in Xiaoqian Village, especially Wang Wei. Now, whenever he stepped outside, girls would become mesmerized at the sight of him, often losing focus with just a casual glance.

Similarly, Xiao Xiao, who used to be a scrawny little girl with yellow hair, had transformed into the most beautiful girl in Xiaoqian Village. Some boys would lament, pounding their chests and stomping their feet, regretting that they hadn't proposed to the Xiao family earlier. They felt they had missed out, and the "wolf cub" had unexpectedly benefited.

Now, Wang Wei wouldn't dare let Xiao Xiao go out alone. He always had the uneasy feeling that if he wasn't careful, those guys would try to sneakily take his little wife back home.

The weather gradually warmed up, and after wearing winter clothes for a long time, they finally took them off, and the responsibility of washing fell on Wang Wei once again. The two of them went to the riverside.

Now that spring plowing is finished, the people of Xiaoqian Village are rushing to wash and clean their winter clothes and blankets. However, activities like washing clothes are typically associated with women. everyone saw Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao approaching, there was a collective pause. They remarked, "Wang Wei is indeed caring for his wife, even accompanying her to do the laundry."

However, what surprised them next was Wang Wei's actions. Xiao Xiao sat on the side like a boss, while he earnestly and diligently started washing the clothes.

Many unmarried girls who came to the riverside to wash clothes were captivated by Wang Wei's incredibly handsome appearance. Now, seeing how caring he was towards his wife, their gazes were fixated on him, unable to look away.

"If we had known that wolf… Wang Laoshi treats his wife so well, where would there be a chance for Xiao Ermei!"

"Exactly! Xiao Ermei used to be nothing, just a bean sprout, and now she's married to Wang Wei. I heard Wang Wei takes her up the mountain every day to find food. Now, Xiao Ermei has fallen into a lucky pit. We only knew Wang Wei was fierce before, and he could even mix with the big creatures on the mountain. Who would have thought that hanging out with them would have benefits? At least, she's not lacking meat to eat. Look at how much she has changed in just a short time with Wang Wei."

"This Xiao Ermei is too lazy. How can she let a man wash clothes while she just sits there doing nothing? Lazy girl, wasting Wang Wei for nothing..."

No wonder they say good looks are everything. Wang Wei's appearance makes it hard for these eligible young girls to remain composed. Even though everyone used to say how fierce Wang Wei was, nobody had faced him head-on. Now, those who are enchanted by him have lost their initial fear, and in their envy, they couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks about Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Wei were a bit far from the group, so they didn't hear the discussion. On the other hand, Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei heard everything clearly.

Xiao Sanmei, with her already irritable temper, couldn't help but sneer at their words. "What's it to you? If my brother-in-law is willing, it's their business. Why do you have to gossip about it here? If you're so envious, go find a man who's willing to wash your clothes. Why be jealous of someone else's man?" It's unclear what changes Xiao Ermei and her brother-in-law went through these past few months, but her brother-in-law's appearance was indeed quite captivating. He treated Xiao Ermei so well. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Xiao was her elder sister, she might have found it hard to suppress her bitterness.

"Who's jealous? We're just fed up with your second sister being so lazy. She's disgracing us women. When people see her, they might think all the girls from Xiaoqian Village are lazy. Who would dare to marry a girl from our village in the future?" Xiao Sanmei revealed their most secretive thoughts. The other girls were suddenly both embarrassed and anxious. One of them, quick-witted, hurriedly tried to refute.

"Oh, has the time come for you to think about marriage all day long? I don't think my second sister's face is that big. Can she represent everyone in Xiaoqian Village?" Xiao Sanmei, never afraid of an argument, immediately retorted, and there was Xiao Simei behind her, who was in no way inferior to her. Every time Xiao Sanmei spoke, Xiao Simei would cheer from behind, "Exactly! What's the big deal if my brother-in-law is willing to wash clothes? I think you're just jealous and bitter!"

"You..."

"Let's just ignore them."

Unable to win the argument, they left dejectedly and found another spot, keeping a distance from Xiao Sanmei and Xiao Simei. Coincidentally, Jiang Wenwen and several other educated youth girls happened to be in that area.

She had heard the argument just now and, looking up, she realized that Wang Wei had brought Xiao Xiao to wash clothes. What she couldn't tolerate was seeing Xiao Xiao playing in the water while Wang Wei was the one doing the laundry. This was the guy she had pursued for half her life, like a moth to a flame, even afraid to confess her feelings to this god-like man. Now, he was washing clothes for Xiao Xiao?

Jiang Wenwen suddenly exploded, vigorously beating the clothes with a washboard, splashing a large amount of water in the process.

"Oh, Wenwen, you've got me wet. What's gotten into you?"

Jiang Wenwen shook her head, then glanced at Wang Wei and Xiao Xiao in the distance. It seemed like something in the water had touched Xiao Xiao's foot, and Wang Wei was frowning, holding her foot and saying something.

Jiang Wenwen suddenly took a deep breath, silently reminding herself to calm down. Inhale deeply, exhale. Oh, she couldn't take it anymore! Xiao Xiao, this despicable person!

Xiao Xiao was still unaware that she had subtly become the enemy of the girls in Xiaoqian Village. Her foot was stung by something in the water, and being thin-skinned and sensitive to pain, she couldn't bear it. The sting brought tears to her eyes instantly.

Wang Wei carefully examined her foot and found only a red mark. It seemed like a pinch from a crab. Seeing Xiao Xiao wincing in pain and whimpering, he felt both distressed and amused.

While gently blowing on her foot, he said, "Can't you not make me worry a bit? I told you not to put your feet in the water before!"

"It's cool..." Xiao Xiao pouted.

Wang Wei blew on her foot again, not too pleased, and said, "No broken skin, it won't hurt in a while."

Xiao Xiao rubbed her foot against Wang Wei's palm and said, "It won't hurt if you touch it." There were still tears in the corners of her eyes, but she managed to say something so provocative.

Wang Wei's face blushed again uncontrollably. He instinctively glanced around, seeing that the others were far away and probably didn't hear. Then he regained some composure and said, "You... why are you..." How shameless!

He hesitated for a moment and finally obediently massaged Xiao Xiao's foot. Due to eating things grown with nutrient solution, Xiao Xiao's skin was like translucent porcelain. Wang Wei felt like his palm was almost scalded as he held it.

He pursed his lips, throat tightening, reluctant to let go of Xiao Xiao's foot. Instead, he turned his head away and changed the subject, "It's already so hot this month. I hope there won't be a drought."

Last year, the weather was colder than usual, and after the autumn set in, the temperature dropped sharply, leading to a reduced harvest. If there is a drought again this year…

"Second Sister..." Xiao Sanmei, having finished washing clothes, walked over with Xiao Simei. The moment they spoke up, they saw their second sister's foot resting in Wang Wei's hands.

Xiao Sanmei: "...."

Xiao Simei: "...."
