The man looked to be in his early twenties, tall and strong, tall and straight. He wore a short gray shirt with a black belt tied with a simple knot. He was rather handsome, with long black hair that fell to his waist and was simply tied up with a blue cloth and a wooden hairpin. His thick eyebrows were stuck in his temples, and his eyes were bright and deep. Only, there was a scar on his left cheek, extending from the left inner corner of the eye all the way down to the bottom of his earlobe. It was an old injury that had healed long ago, but the scar was very obvious, and it looked somewhat frightening.
He was this person's … Wife? Qin Mian coughed dryly and stood up. His knees felt a bit weak as he unconsciously sat on the ground.
The man was quick to grab his arm.
Qin Mian felt like he was lifted up like a little chicken. He looked at the man and said nothing. He was too tall, he thought, almost two heads taller than he was. At the same time, he was even more certain in his heart that there was something wrong with his body. This weakness was not normal at all.
Madam Du eased her expression and put down her broom, ”Boss, Mother was also angered by him. She actually told him to feed the pigs that she didn't know how to! [What is this guy trying to do if she doesn't mean it? ”Manage your wife properly!”
Qin Mian did not make a sound. He would feed the pigs. From birth to the age of fifteen, he lived in the countryside with his grandfather and grandmother. He would farm, raise chickens, and raise pigs. But now he was in an unfamiliar environment, without any memory of the original owner. He didn't know what pig food was, where it was kept, or how much it was fed. If he did something wrong, it wouldn't be good for the old woman to suspect it. As everyone knew, people in ancient times were very superstitious. If someone found out that this body had been altered, he might have to die again. Therefore, even if he directly said that he wouldn't, even if it was the opposite of the truth, the old woman would at most think that he was intentionally causing trouble.
Lei Tia glanced at Qin Mian, but he did not look displeased. Without saying a word, he left in large strides.
Madam Du glared at Qin Mian fiercely.
Qin Mian was not afraid of her, and silently calculated what he should do next. As he walked, he wondered what kind of strange feeling the man had, that made him feel like there was something wrong.
After a while, the man came over with a wooden bucket. He walked to the pigsty and swiftly poured some crushed vegetables or grass into the trough.
Madam Du's face turned green, she tried to sound gentle, ”Boss, you are a man, why do you need to do this?”
Qin Mianxin was annoyed. He's a man, I'm not a man?
Lei Tia did not utter a word, he placed the wooden bucket on the ground, and pulled Qin Mian into the thatched cottage, and they sat down on the edge of the bed.
Qin Mian was shocked by his actions. He didn't even remember to speak as he watched the man walk out, and after a while, he came back with a bucket of water. He took a new cloth from the rope tied around the door and put it into the basin. Then, he also sat down on the edge of the bed. Separated by three fists from Qin Mian, he stared at the opposite wall without saying a word.
”Thank you.” Qin Mianxin said. But aside from the abnormal relationship between them, there was nothing about this man that he disliked so far. He didn't say much. He washed his face and hands with a cloth and was about to pour water when the man took the basin and washed his hands without a word.
Qin Mian felt a little awkward. Two men sharing a washcloth...
”Eat.” After Lei Tia finished washing his face, he carried the basin in one hand and stood up to look at Qin Mian.
Qin Mian nodded and followed him out.
The man dumped the water in the corner, left the basin by the well, and went inside.
Qin Mian followed him.
At this time, a few people walked in from outside the courtyard. There were both men and women, all dressed in ancient attire. They were all carrying farm tools, and they talked as they walked. Behind the few of them followed three little kids.
Speaking up to here, he wanted to talk about the situation of Lei Family. Lei Daqiang, the head of Lei Family, 40 years old, married to Madam Du, 38 years old. The eldest son, Lei Tia, was 22 years old and his wife was Qin Mian, who was only 14 years old; the second son, Lei Xiangren, was 21 years old. His wife, Mrs Zhao, was the eldest son, Lei Dabao, was 5 years old; his youngest son, Lei Xiaobao, was 3 years old; third son, Lei Xiangyi, was 19 years old.
At this time, Lei Daqiang and the others had entered. Other than Lei Xiangzhi, everyone else was present.
Lei Xiangren and the rest put down the farm tools, seeing Qin Mian's strange expression, they called him ”Sister-in-law”.
