Thinking of this, Lin Xi rubbed her temples with a headache, her stunning face showing a trace of weariness.
"Dear, you should go to sleep early."
"Um, you too."
Each of them returned to their rooms to rest.
It wasn't that Su Chen didn't want to sleep with his charming wife; it was just that he could only look, and that feeling was so frustrating that he'd rather sleep alone.
The next morning, Su Chen felt an itch in his nostrils, and upon opening his eyes, he saw Ado holding a Pineapple Grass, poking at his nostril.
"Big Lazy Brother, get up, the sun is already showing its buttocks!" Ado's bell-like laughter rang in Su Chen's ears.
"Ado, brother went to bed late last night; let sleep a bit longer," Su Chen said, covering his head with the blanket, wanting to continue sleeping.
"Big Lazy Brother, if you don't get up, Ado will lift your blanket!" Ado threatened.
Facing Ado's threat, Su Chen didn't care at all; he didn't believe a little girl would dare to lift his blanket.
But Ado really did throw off his blanket.
"Ah!"
Ado imdiately covered her eyes and scread.
It turned out that Su Chen had taken off his clothes.
Damn!
Su Chen was also shocked and quickly pulled the blanket back over himself.
He hadn't expected that this little girl from the Zhuang Clan would really lift his blanket.
If he had known, he wouldn't have slept naked.
This was so embarrassing.
"Big Lazy Brother, get up quickly, Ado is going to make breakfast!" Ado ran off with a flushed face.
Then, for the entire morning, the little girl's face was blazing red, which was extrely cute.
The girls from the Zhuang family are very diligent, they wash clothes, cook, and even do farm work, hunting with the n.
Lin Xi also accepted it, even if she didn't acquire the dyeing technique this ti, she would just treat it as a trip.
She actually envied the life of the Zhuang Clan.
Yesterday she was almost kicked out; today, she planned to perform well.
"Ado, your cooking skills are so good, the food is delicious," she first complinted Ado.
Ado sweetly smiled and said, "My sister cooks even better, but she's been busy recently."
"Brother Ada, you're really strong," after praising Ado, Lin Xi complinted Ada.
"Oh, really?" n of the Zhuang Clan love being praised for their strength, especially by a beautiful woman, which made him very happy.
At that mont, Huo i ca back from outside with her head down, seemingly preoccupied.
Seeing Huo i, Lin Xi prepared to continue praising, at least to gain so favor, which could help her obtain the dyeing technique.
After all the complints, suddenly Lin Xi saw a white scarf around Huo i's head and said, "Huo i, your headscarf is really pretty."
Huo i, who had been looking down, imdiately lifted her head with a stern face, "If you like it, I can get one for you too!"
Su Chen, who was drinking porridge, almost spat it out upon hearing this, and quickly used his eyes to signal Lin Xi to stop talking.
Lin Xi was a bit upset; she knew that people didn't really like her, so she deliberately sweetened her words, hoping to win everyone's favor.
Yet, Huo i still showed her a cold face.
The temperant of the domineering female CEO wasn't so easy to provoke, yet she was imdiately pulled out of the house by Su Chen.
"Su Chen, why are you pulling ? I didn't offend that woman, why did she talk to in that tone?" Lin Xi said, feeling very wronged.
After all, being the goddess CEO of Jiangdu City, who wouldn't treat her with respect?
Su Chen sighed deeply and said, "Ms. Lin, do you know what that headscarf in Zhuang Clan is for? Only won who have just lost their husbands wear that kind of headscarf..."
Last night, Su Chen and A Duo talked about so customs of the Zhuang Clan.
Lin Xi was instantly stunned.
"How, how could this be, wasn't Huo i's husband fine just yesterday..."
"I don't know, didn't you see that Huo i was absent at breakfast? Maybe sothing happened..." Su Chen shook his head.
At that mont, A Duo co out from the house with tears in her big eyes, sobbing, "Sister, Huo i just lost her husband, she's not in a good mood, don't be mad at her."
Learning the reason behind it, Lin Xi also felt a surge of sadness and hugged A Duo, "It's my fault, sister shouldn't have spoken carelessly..."
After breakfast, A Duo went to the fields to work, so n from Zhuang family who lost at arm-wrestling to Su Chen last night ca to find Su Chen, inviting him to go hunting.
They had been beaten at arm-wrestling by Su Chen last night and planned to take revenge during the hunting today.
Su Chen also hadn't had exercise in a long ti and was sowhat eager to try.
After asking Lin Xi, Lin Xi naturally was not interested and because of Huo i's situation, she wasn't in the mood, deciding to stay back and keep Huo i company.
After Su Chen and so Zhuang family n left, Lin Xi went to Huo i who was sitting in the courtyard spacing out, and said, "Huo i, I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't know the headscarf represented that, what actually happened?"
Huo i looked up at Lin Xi, it wasn't really Lin Xi's fault after all.
Lin Xi wasn't from Zhuang family, it was normal for her not to know Zhuang Clan customs.
Huo i said softly, "My man went hunting in the mountains last night and encountered a bear..."
The bear, that's a terrifying creature, with thick skin and flesh that even slightly weaker arrows can't penetrate.
It also has imnse strength, capable of breaking a tree trunk as thick as a bowl with one slap.
If a person gets slapped by it, they would imdiately be smashed into a pulp.
Although not particularly nimble, that's compared to other agile animals such as cheetahs, tigers, and the likes.
But compared to humans, it's still quite fast.
Generally, if one encounters a bear, there's hardly any chance of escape.
"Huo i, don't be too sad, you're still so young... you can definitely find soone better," Lin Xi held Huo i's hand and comforted her in a soft voice.
But Huo i shook her head in pain and said, "According to our Zhuang Clan customs, since my husband was killed by the bear while hunting, I need to kill that bear myself if I want to remarry, unless a man can kill that bear alone…"
Lin Xi shuddered.
She never expected such a custom among Zhuang Clan.
Huo i, a frail woman, going to kill a bear?
That's utterly absurd.
Not to ntion Huo i, even the most skilled hunter probably couldn't do it.
To kill the bear, one must set up traps in advance, and then at least a dozen skilled hunters would need to be involved to possibly succeed.
Killing a bear alone?
It's more like throwing one's life away.
Who would risk their life for a widow?
Huo i not only lost her husband, but she might never be able to remarry again.
Indeed, it's quite tragic.
