Chapter 16: Awkward

Before long, she arrived at their destination.

The door was not closed. Hua Jiujiu pushed them open and entered, only to see the man sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. He was shirtless. She immediately turned around.

“You… Why are you still here?” And he was naked! Did he have to be so casual?

Lou Sijin did not reply. Instead, he put on his clothes slowly.

Hua Jiujiu seemed to have thought of something and said, “You weren’t from our village in the past, right?” She had no impression of this man.

Lou Sijin still didn’t say anything, so Hua Jiujiu continued, “So you have nowhere to stay? Then you can stay here, but you have to tell the villagers. It’s best to rent or buy this place, otherwise I’m afraid there will be trouble. After all, this house belongs to the village.”

Lou Sijin looked at Hua Jiujiu quietly.

Seeing that he did not speak, Hua Jiujiu turned to look at him and saw him looking at her expressionlessly.

‘Um…’

She seemed to have said too much.

Forget it, she should wash the pot first.

However, when she entered the kitchen, it was already tidied up. It was obvious who had cleaned it up.

This man actually went into the kitchen to clean.

What a good man.

Hua Jiujiu came out of the kitchen and said, “I might borrow the kitchen here for the next two days. If you rent the house, let me know.” She treated the house as ownerless now.

Lou Sijin was still pursing his slightly pale lips.

Actually, he had already rented this house.

However, for some reason, he just did not want to say it.

Hua Jiujiu felt a little awkward. After bidding farewell to Lou Sijin, she left. She did not walk home but headed out of the village.

Lou Sijin looked in the direction where Hua Jiujiu left. There was some doubt in his eyes. The direction home was not that way, and it was already so late. Where was she going alone?

Under the moonlight, Hua Jiujiu headed in the direction of Elder Madam Xu’s maiden family.

Elder Madam Xu’s family was in the neighboring village. It was neither far nor close to their village. It would take half an hour of quick walking.

Fortunately, Hua Jiujiu had eaten a lot of food at night and had an amazing thing like the spiritual spring on her. Otherwise, with her thin body, she would probably faint on the way.

Half an hour later, Hua Jiujiu successfully reached and hid near the Xu family’s outhouse. To be honest, the smell was really unbearable, but in order to let herself and her family have a good life tomorrow, she had no choice but to wait here.

As far as she knew, her aunt, Wang Mei, would wake up every night. Apart from Elder Madam Xu, Wang Mei was one of the women who treated their family the worst. Therefore, if she didn’t choose this woman, who else would she target?

However, the toilet was too smelly. Hua Jiujiu could not stand it after squatting for a while.

Suddenly, she thought of something and scanned her surroundings. After confirming that there were no problems, she flashed into the space.

After entering the space, she could also see the situation outside, so why should she suffer by the toilet?

Hua Jiujiu paid attention to the situation outside as she entered the bamboo house that she did not have time to observe in the afternoon.

The bamboo house was very clean and tidy. It was obvious that it used to be a woman’s place.

Hua Jiujiu glanced at the bedroom. There was nothing special about it. Then, she walked to the study.

She saw a portrait hanging on the wall and was immediately stunned by the woman on it.

Beautiful!

She was too beautiful!

She was so beautiful that even the world paled in comparison!

However, for some reason, Hua Jiujiu felt that this woman looked familiar.
