The kang (heated brick bed) for left-behind women

Chapter 163 Noisy Noisy

As night deepened, the flame of the oil lamp flickered and then went out with a soft "poof".

The cave dwelling was plunged into darkness, with only a sliver of hazy moonlight filtering through the window paper, casting a faint silvery-gray hue over everything.

The quilts were laid out on the kang (a heated brick bed), and Li Ruoxue, Lin Xilei, and Sun Taohua squeezed together.

The kang (heated brick bed) is not small, but it's still a bit cramped for three people to lie down, and you have to be careful when turning over.

"Ugh, it's so crowded," Lin Xilei complained, but her tone was tinged with amusement.

"If you think it's too crowded, you can sleep on the floor," Li Ruoxue teased her.

"No way! The ground is cold!"

Sun Taohua lay on the far side, her body tense, afraid to move.

This was the first time she had slept on this kang (a heated brick bed), and Li Ruoxue was lying next to her.

She didn't know what to say or do; she just lay there stiffly, her eyes fixed on something in the darkness.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and grasped her hand.

It's Li Ruoxue.

"Peach Blossom," Li Ruoxue's voice was soft, like a warm stream in the darkness, "Don't be nervous. From now on... we'll be family."

Sun Taohua almost burst into tears again.

She grasped Li Ruoxue's hand in return, nodded vigorously, and then, remembering that Li Ruoxue couldn't see in the darkness, hummed in agreement.

Lin Xilei rolled over and leaned closer: "Sister-in-law, what did you mean by family? I still don't understand."

"Don't ask so many questions, kid," Li Ruoxue said with a laugh.

"I'm an adult! I'm not a child!" Lin Xilei protested.

"They're just kids."

"Sister Peach Blossom is only a little older than me, is she also a child?"

Sun Taohua was amused. Her laughter was soft and slightly choked, but it was the first genuine laugh she had had in days.

Three women make a drama, but surprisingly, they get along quite well.

Lin Dachun washed his feet and climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), but he hadn't blown out the lamp yet.

Sun Taohua slept next to him.

"What are you guys talking about that makes you so happy?" Lin Dachun asked.

"Let's talk about men and women, haha," Lin Xilei said with a smile.

"Tonight, we're going to have some fun in the bridal chamber," Li Ruoxue replied.

"You guys, you should ask Tao Hua about this first. I just brought her back, I really don't intend for her to be my wife," Lin Dachun hurriedly explained again.

Li Ruoxue immediately turned to Sun Taohua and asked, "Taohua, what are you thinking?"

Sun Taohua glanced at Lin Dachun.

"Just say whatever you think, it's okay. I never intended to redeem you as my wife," Lin Dachun reminded him.

Sun Taohua thought for a moment and said, "I'm a second-hand commodity, no one wants me anymore. I can only marry an old bachelor or a cripple. Uncle Dachun is willing to spend so much money to take me. Where else can I find such good fortune? In this life, I am willing to be Uncle Dachun's slave and serve him."

"ah??"

Lin Dachun was stunned.

"Who talks about themselves like that?"

Sun Taohua is still a very traditional woman. She believes in following her husband wherever he goes. Since Lin Dachun paid the bride price, she is Lin Dachun's woman. As for Lin Liang, we'll talk about that later.

"So tonight, you and Dachun will consummate your marriage, right?" Li Ruoxue asked with a smile.

"Um."

Sun Taohua nodded, her face flushed.

Sun Taohua is a few years younger than Li Ruoxue, but one year older than Lin Xilei.

They were all very young women.

Lin Dachun is more than twenty years older than them.

"Oh, this is going to be interesting!" Lin Xilei was always eager for a good show.

This made Lin Dachun and Sun Taohua feel embarrassed.

"Then let's blow out the lamps and have some fun in the bridal chamber!"

As Li Ruoxue spoke, she blew out the kerosene lamp.

These women, without any jealousy or embarrassment towards each other, got along harmoniously, and even helped Lin Dachun and Sun Taohua make a scene during their wedding night?!
