Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

Even if Meng Yunhan were the boldest, after mustering the courage to speak openly once, she couldn’t do it again.

After a while, seeing that Yun Hao, who was holding her, did not speak and his breathing was steady, she cautiously called, “Are you asleep?”

“Try and sleep!” Then she saw Yun Hao gently patting her back in a way that resembled comforting a child.

Meng Yunhan did not want to close her eyes, she just wanted to look at him like this, feel his presence by her side, without him leaving her or being thousands of miles away.

“I can’t sleep.” Thinking about this man leaving brought a surge of reluctance and grievance.

Yun Hao gently patted her back and said, “I’m here, go to sleep!” He also knew that he couldn’t accompany her every moment, and now that she was pregnant, she was more dependent on him than before.

“Tell me a story.” Meng Yunhan coquettishly asked.

Yun Hao stiffened for a moment, tell a story? He really didn’t know how to.

But looking at the anticipation in his wife’s eyes, he really didn’t want to refuse.

“You don’t know how to tell one?”

“I do, but you have to sleep after I finish.”

Meng Yunhan obediently nodded, “Okay, I promise.” She was somewhat expectant inside, curious about what story this man would tell. Would it be a ghost story? Or a horror one?

After all, these are generally what men like to hear.

“Legend has it that there was a fairy living in the mountains of Qingzhao Village, but nobody actually saw her. One day, a woodcutter inadvertently entered there and saw a fairy dancing gracefully in the mountains. He instantly fell in love with her, and after returning home fell ill. Once he recovered, he entered the mountains and was never seen again.”

Listening to his rich, cello-like voice, Meng Yunhan closed her eyes.

“Is that all?” Was this story made up by this man?

And it was so short?

Was he trying to trick her?

“Yes, go to sleep!”

Meng Yunhan was both amused and annoyed, was this man really doing it on purpose?

Why did she feel that this man was doing it on purpose?

“You’re cheating.”

“Go to sleep.” Yun Hao lightly coughed.

Meng Yunhan was so angry, she really felt that this man was doing it on purpose.

Though she was angry, she had no choice but to go to sleep. Tomorrow was the second day of the Chinese New Year, her sisters-in-law would be going back to their parents’ house, and since she was too far away and didn’t want to leave, she needed to be well-rested for tomorrow’s busy day, both for work and to entertain guests.

Awakened by the sound of the rooster’s crow, Meng Yunhan stirred a few times, but she did not open her eyes. Yun Hao bent down to kiss her face and said, “Hanhan, wake up.”

“I don’t want to get up, I’m lying in.”

“Well, I’m getting up okay?” Yun Hao softly spoke into her ear. He wasn’t sure about the experiences of others during pregnancy, but he saw her difficulties while carrying a child. Last night, she had leg cramps and he woke up immediately to massage her. It made him think how she got through the days when he wasn’t home.

“Okay.” Meng Yunhan tried to turn over but couldn’t because her stomach was in the way.

In the end, Yun Hao got out of bed, briskly put on his clothes, tucked her in bed properly, and then left.

“Why are you awake so early, why didn’t you sleep in with your wife?” Yun’s mother saw her son come into the kitchen to help make a fire and quietly asked.

“Mother, does pregnancy cause leg cramps in the middle of the night?”

Yun’s mother, having experienced it herself, of course she knew —

“Yes.”
