Chapter 71: co-wife
Xiao Lingchuan was still in unlined clothes, driving the car in the cold wind, his back was straight, he could wear a single unlined garment for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
People who practice martial arts can use internal force to regulate body temperature, even if it\'s freezing and snowy, he can\'t feel the cold even if he\'s only wearing single clothes.
"Husband, take a sip of hot tea!"
Li Haitang was afraid that he would show off, so he sent him a cup of hot tea. She put on a thick padded jacket with a fox fur under her body, and a thick quilt over her body, just like that, she still felt cold.
"There is an inn in front, just go to rest for an hour at noon."
Xiao Lingchuan was anxious. In the morning, his wife shyly asked him to find a grocery store. She went to buy a menstrual belt. Unfortunately, it happened to be a small day.
He heard that the woman\'s body temperature was low in her childhood, and she occasionally felt cramps in her lower abdomen. He bought **** jujube tea and Tang Pozi, which nourishes qi and blood, hoping to relieve her pain.
"Husband, let\'s go on our way."
Li Haitang counted the time and rested at noon, since he couldn\'t enter the border town before dark and had to spend the night outside, he might as well go to Chun Niang\'s to deliver the medicine earlier.
Before time-traveling, she didn\'t suffer from dysmenorrhea, she was greedy during her menstrual period, and she secretly ate an ice cream, there was no problem at all.
As a doctor, even if he knows that many lifestyles are unhealthy, he still cannot avoid it. Li Haitang always finds reasons for himself, which is to enjoy himself in time.
After transmigrating and receiving the original owner\'s body, Li Haitang\'s face was pale with pain. She bit her lip, huddled in the corner of the carriage, and covered her lower abdomen with her hands. During the journey, she had to ensure the water temperature in Mrs. Tang to relieve her abdominal pain a little.
Xiao Lingchuan didn\'t speak a word, her eyes were dark, her appearance was strong, but her heart was fragile, she was always thinking of others, sometimes she would ignore herself.
There is no rush to deliver medicine to Chunniang. To him, his own wife is more important.
Therefore, for the first time, Xiao Lingchuan didn\'t listen to Li Haitang, and made his own decisions, driving the carriage to the backyard of the inn.
Li Haitang lay limp in the carriage, almost numb from the pain. She felt the carriage stop and asked in a daze, "Are you at Chun Niang\'s house?"
"We\'ll stay overnight at the inn and leave tomorrow."
Xiao Lingchuan\'s tall figure entered the carriage and immediately blocked the light. He wrapped Li Haitang in a quilt, and brought him into the room in the astonishment of the waiter.
In broad daylight, cuddling and hugging makes people laugh, Li Haitang is a tender-faced person, she just came to a young life, she is not so delicate, so she struggled, "Put me down!"
"Don\'t let go!"
What Xiao Lingchuan said was categorical, not only did he not let go, but he hugged him even tighter.
It took a long time for the clerk of the inn to react, and secretly consulted with the shopkeeper and the cashier.
A few days ago, an official from the yamen came to the inn to convey the news that a lot of things had been lost in the rice and grain shop of the Qin family in the county, and an unmarried young lady was missing. The official suspected that the two incidents were caused by one person or It\'s a group of people, let them pay attention to the new faces in the inn recently.
"Shopkeeper, why do you think I should pay attention, there are no strangers who come to the inn!"
The guy is quite distressed. The locals with families and well-off people stay in inns for nothing.
Their inn has a lot of traffic, dozens of people come and go every day, and the guys are not sharp-eyed, so they can\'t tell who is the villain.
"This is easy."
The shopkeeper has his own logic, "Look at the heart, look at those thieves, there are a few smooth-looking ones, all of them are crooked, with evil eyebrows and mouse eyes."
The guy thought it made sense, so he took it seriously.
The past two days have been calm, and no suspicious person has been seen, but just now, a big ugly man came to their inn, hugging a delicate little lady with a quilt.
It can\'t be okay!
"Shopkeeper, I heard that little lady said no, she must have been drugged and forced!"
The buddy discussed with the shopkeeper whether he should go to the Yamen to report the letter. He heard that if he helped solve the case, he could get a reward of ten taels of silver, and if he saved a little more, it would be enough for him to marry a wife.
"this…"
You can\'t pour dirty water just because someone\'s face is ugly, and you have to have a basis for what you say. The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, and decided to send his staff upstairs to investigate. If they noticed something was wrong, they would immediately report to the officials and wait for the officers to arrest them.
Upstairs, Li Haitang didn\'t know that her behavior was misunderstood by the waiter. She was sitting on a chair, waiting for the savage husband to make the bed.
In all fairness, Xiao Lingchuan is really kind. From the moment he married him, Li Haitang was taken care of in every possible way. He ate and drank and became a complete rice bug.
The thin-mouthed copper pot on the small red clay stove was steaming, Li Haitang stood up, wrapped the handle of the copper pot with a cloth towel, and brewed a cup of brown sugar water for himself.
"Husband, I heard people along the way that many unmarried ladies have disappeared in the past few days. Do you think they were taken away by kidnappers?"
If kidnappers take people away, they must leave the Northland to sell them, and most of them are sent to bad places.
I heard that in the barren land of the Northwest, there are more men than women, and there are several brothers in a big family. If they can\'t afford a wife, they buy one. The woman is the joint wife of the brothers.
The delicate little lady served several strong men and gave birth to them, polyandry, completely upside down.
A teenage girl, her body hadn\'t grown yet, was molested by her brothers, she couldn\'t bear it, she was tortured to the point where she was not a human being.
There are more men than women, and women are precious. If you marry and choose someone, whoever chooses a family with several brothers is terrible!
"There are many brothers and they are strong. They all save money to buy wives in other places."
Xiao Lingchuan took life and death escorts, went to the Northwest, and has a certain understanding of the local folk customs. It is common to share wives there, not only that, but there are also rented wives and concubines.
"What does that mean?"
The last time Xiao Lingchuan told a story, he hadn\'t talked about this yet, and Li Haitang expressed his interest in it.
"The folk customs in the Northwest are open, and the folks advocate remarriage of widows."
Xiao Lingchuan saw that this could distract his wife\'s attention and prevent her from being tortured by abdominal pain, so he explained the local customs in detail.
The yellow sand in the northwest is a relatively mysterious area. It can be said that there are three things to ignore, let alone be bound by etiquette.
There are more men than women, women lose their men, widows waste resources, it is better to find a young and strong man to live.
After a woman has a baby, a man can rent out his daughter-in-law for a period of one year. If the woman becomes pregnant during the period, the other party will have to pay a sum of money.
Dian concubine also has a similar meaning, and it is usually a transaction between wealthy families.
Businessmen don\'t like to go to the northwest. There are bandits on the road. Many people wanted to do business. It\'s good luck to be robbed. Those bandits are cruel, not only robbing money, but also killing people. Ya people don\'t go to the northwest to do business, and there is a shortage of women there, so there are always kidnappers who cheat young ladies from here, and then go to the northwest to make a lot of money.
