Chapter 141: Chapter 106 Husband, today I am truly, truly happy_6

Those who have read books indeed have more insight than those who haven’t.

Even in the Martial Arts World, reading remained important.

”Alright, husband, go call them to eat.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie nodded, then immediately spoke, ”Brothers, let’s end our practice here for today.”

Everyone, upon hearing this, stopped their moves. At this point, they already had a basic understanding of the Grand Ancestor Long Fist; next would be to slowly become proficient and deepen their skills.

Many had profound insights into certain moves.

Based on their talents, Chen Jie suggested that if anyone struggled with a specific move, they should learn from the person excelling in it. This way, by cross-referencing each other, they would progress quickly.

Thus, the group stopped practicing martial arts.

All of them clasped their hands in thanks, ”Thank you, Brother Jiu Si, for teaching us!”

Chen Jie waved them off and said, ”No need for courtesy; we’re all brothers here.”

At this time, a short man said upon hearing this, ”It’s getting late, let’s head home, and tomorrow we can set a time to gather for practice.”

Hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Chen Jie looked at the short man, remembering him as a smart fellow. After practicing the boxing form twice, he memorized it and often asked crucial questions—it was clear he was intelligent.

Chen Jie asked him, ”What is your name?”

The short man quickly replied, ”From Upper Peach Village, Qi Chunhua.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”That’s a nice name. Practice well. After I leave, Brother Qi here will be your captain; if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask him. If he can’t solve it, come to me.”

Everyone was initially surprised upon hearing this, then all respectfully bowed, ”Yes.”

Chen Jie said, ”Alright, we’ve trained all day and must be hungry. Your sister-in-law has cooked for you, so eat this meal before heading home.”

Saying this, Chen Jie gave Hu Zi a look, and Hu Zi immediately went to help out.

Before long, the food and drinks were ready. They ate a mixture of sorghum and millet rice, with only one dish, salted pork stir-fried with wild vegetables.

There were fewer wild vegetables but plenty of salted pork.

Su Yunjin chopped the salted pork finely, turned it into minced pork, and stir-fried it with minced wild vegetables, turning it into a big pot of meat sauce.

This was then ladled over a large bowl of rice, with a layer of the meat sauce on top. A dozen men squatted together, holding their bowls and eating heartily, savoring every bite.

Years later, many recalled how that meal was the most delicious they ever had.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone took their leave.

Chen Jie and Su Yunjin returned home and lulled Ruirui to sleep.

Quietly, Su Yunjin slipped into Chen Jie’s room.

Chen Jie was still awake, watching the little lamb enter the tiger’s den.

Without hesitation, he reached out and pulled his wife into his arms.

Su Yunjin did not resist today; in fact, she was quite proactive. Chen Jie was taken aback by her initiative, as she had never been like this before.

Yet this side of his wife was even more captivating.

Chen Jie was deeply moved.

That night, it was truly:

The moon set as crows cawed with frost filling the sky, curtains swayed with candles flickering sleeplessly.

The wind blew as autumn leaves fell softly, a half-smile echoing the spring breeze laughed like Du Juan.

Longing fell upon the crimson brocade, gently removing the silk robe to accompany her lord to sleep.

...

Halfway through the night deepened.

Chen Jie held his wife who lay exhausted, as she had shown great eagerness to improve earlier.

They had spent half the day studying poetry with Chen Jie, and eventually, his wife felt his teaching wasn’t satisfactory, actually taking the lead to demonstrate her talents with a woman’s charm.

*Such madness could only stem from love that penetrated the bones.*

Chen Jie embraced her, feeling the warmth of her body.

He played with the silky strands by her temple.

”Wife.”

”Hmm?”

Su Yunjin responded softly, and Chen Jie said, ”You were so beautiful today.”

His wife replied, ”Was I not beautiful before?”

Chen Jie said, ”More beautiful today, especially just now...”

”Don’t say it!”

Su Yunjin pressed two fingers gently against Chen Jie’s lips, her hands carrying a subtle fragrance of orchids.

”Alright, alright, I won’t say.”

Chen Jie moved Su Yunjin’s hand away.

He looked at her intently.

Su Yunjin flushed with embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

*Was she too wild just now? But today she truly loved, loved him so much!*

”What are you looking at?”

His wife, overwhelmed by his gaze, finally asked.

Chen Jie paused slightly and said, ”I am looking at my wife, for today I find you different from usual.”

”How am I different?”

Su Yunjin asked curiously.

Chen Jie said, ”How to put it? Before, you were like a budding flower, beautiful yet shy.”

”Today, you were like a full-bloomed peony, filled with the boldness to vie with spring!”

”So, my wife, what happened to you? Why such a big change?”

After hearing this, Su Yunjin was silent for a moment and said, ”Husband, because today I am really, really happy!”

”Happy?”

Chen Jie was somewhat puzzled, yet partially understanding.

*Yes, in recent days, Su Yunjin had been terribly repressed; every few good days, Chen Jie would provoke Yu Biao.*

*Known as Master Yu in Xiantao Town, he was considered a figure akin to the sky, or at the very least, a local tyrant in the eyes of ordinary people.*

*How could they have a good outcome after offending such a man?*

*So, Su Yunjin’s heart had been heavy and anxious, leaving her staying at the Bai Family compound, afraid to even go out. Although the Bai Family treated her well, there was always the feeling of being under someone else’s roof, a bitterness only she knew.*

*Moreover, watching her husband risk his life practicing martial arts every day, feeling unable to help, that sense of helplessness weighed heavily on Su Yunjin.*

*In today’s match, when Yu Biao so viciously struck Li Sanding to the point of spitting blood, her heart clenched, and when her husband stepped onto the stage, she felt as if her heart stopped.*

*In the end, her husband won.*

*It was at that moment she could no longer hold back; she released all the fear pent up in her heart, crying uncontrollably.*

*Then came a string of joyous events; her husband was recognized by the influential figures and adopted as a son, signaling a promising future.*

*Returning to the village, her happiness was overwhelming—the neighbors who once turned their noses up at her now became amiable and flattering.*

*No longer would she have to lower her head as an unlucky star, nor would she be bullied or looked down upon!*

*That moment, she truly reached the pinnacle of happiness.*

*Who would understand, the feeling of suddenly shedding the disdain of others, she felt like the happiest person in the world.*

*And all of this, her husband brought to her.*

*Therefore, on the bed today, she released her joy, boldness, and exuberance freely.*

*In that moment, she felt even happier.*

*In that moment, she loved this man down to her very bones!*
