When Lei Family people finished eating dinner, the sky was still not completely dark. The house and the shadows of the trees were silhouetted against the last rays of the sun. It was the same with the peasants. They would try to eat dinner before nightfall, so they could save some lamp oil.
Qin Mian, Mrs Zhao and Madam Qian washed the bowls and cleaned the kitchen under Madam Du's covetous gaze.
Coming out from the kitchen and seeing Lei Tia take a dark brown wooden basin to draw water from the well, Qin Mian was afraid that he would want to wash his feet with him. He quickly walked over and scooped up a ladle of cold water from the bucket and poured it all over his feet.
Lei Tia paused, still remaining expressionless, he bent down to get some water.
Qin Mian quickly returned to the thatched hut. His sandals were wet and uncomfortable, so he simply took them off to let his feet naturally dry, and sat down on the edge of the bed without a chair. The room was very dark, and the light from outside seeped in through the cracks in the walls, looking very desolate. On the contrary, when Qin Mian saw an oil lamp on the short table beside the bed, he didn't know how he lit it and didn't touch it.
Not long later, Lei Tia walked in.
Qin Mian asked in a low voice: ”Is there anyone else outside?”
Lei Tia did not know what he meant, he shook his head, walked in and sat on the bed.
Qin Mian thought for a while, then said: ”I don't know what's going on, but I don't remember anything from the past. Can you tell me who I am, and why I am getting married to you? We're both men. ”
Lei Tia turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
Qin Mian looked at him calmly.
”You are my wife. I am Lei Tia. ”Go to sleep.” Lei Tia got onto the bed first and lied down on the outside.
”I'm a man!” Qin Mian was a little anxious, and asked closely, ”How did I get married with you? Why would my family marry me to a man? ”
Lei Tia did not speak. It was too dark in the room, so Qin Mian could not see his expression clearly.
”You're my wife.” After Lei Tia finished speaking, no matter how hard Qin Mian asked, he no longer spoke.
Qin Mian was able to maintain his composure. After sitting there for a while, he shivered when a gust of wind blew and he crawled onto the inside of the bed to lie down. At the very least, there was still one more thing that he could rejoice about: Lei Tia did not force him to exercise the rights and duties of a ”husband and wife”. Pah pah!
