"Hai Tao, couples must trust each other. Otherwise, they wouldn't be happy. Since I've decided to be your wife, there's no one else in my heart. I just want to live a good life with you."
Liu Shufang's clear eyes calmly looked at Hai Tao. Her eyes were very sincere and she didn't say much, but every word she said could calm Ning Hai Tao's uneasy heart.
"I believe you."
Faced with his wife's honesty, a trace of emotion flashed across Ning Hai's deep eyes.
"Also, the reason why I'm being so aggressive towards Zhao Yumei today is not because I'm venting my anger, but because I want to live a better life with Harland in the Liu family."
Liu Shufang lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in her eyes. In order not to repeat the tragedies of her past life and let her family live a happy life, she couldn't let the matter not concern her.
"Sigh, Shufang, it's been hard on you. I'll definitely love you from now on and won't let anyone bully you again."
Guilt flashed across Ning Haitao's eyes. Shufang thought of Hai Lan everywhere, and he even complained that she was being unreasonable. He held his wife's hands tightly, pressing them against his heart and promised her solemnly.
He could not participate in Shufang's life for the past twenty years, much less protect her. However, if anyone dared to bully her in the future, he would definitely not stand by and let the person who bullied her pay the price.
"Hmm, Hai Tao, I just want our family to live a happy life. No one can bully my relatives, including your sister Hai Lan. Let's go, I'm going to borrow a bicycle. We're going to the town to buy stuff for brother Hai Lan's wedding."
Liu Shufang smiled sweetly, looking at her husband with clear and trusting eyes. Hai Tao was the kind of man who would always make promises, and she believed every word he said.
With him by her side, she was not afraid of anything. At the moment, it was only the first step. First, she had to protect her big brother Harland so her father could see her true appearance.
Next, she would work hard to earn money and let her family live a good life. She would also take her big brother and her sister-in-law out. She absolutely could not let him leave the coal mine.
It would be best if Father could bear to leave Zhao Yumei. That way, he could have a good end.
Some people didn't have many bicycles, but the Xiufen family did have one. Her man also worked in the coal mines, earning money to buy the first bicycle in the village. It really made many people envious.
Ye Zichen also went to see if Niuniu had returned home, because he was afraid of scaring the child, so he let himself go back first.
She wasn't too worried. In this era, the people were simple and honest, especially in the villages side by side. They would sit under the trees and chat about everything, so who would dare to come and kidnap children?
When he arrived at her house, he saw Niuniu squatting on the ground and playing with the mud. Her chubby face was covered in mud like a kitten.
"Sister Xiufeng, something happened at home just now, so I let the child come back by herself. I'm here to see if she's back yet."
Liu Shufang entered the room with a smile on her face. She did not directly explain her purpose of visit, but first explained why she did not personally send the child back.
"Aiya! It's fine! This child runs around the village every day and knows his own home. "
At this moment, Xiufen was sitting in the shade making shoes for her child. Seeing Liu Hongfang come, she hurriedly put down the work in her hands, smiled and shook her head, completely ignoring her.
"Sister Xiufeng, I want to go to the town. Can I borrow your bicycle?"
After the pleasantries were over, Liu Shufang explained why she was here, but did not say what she was going to do in town.
The money was given to her by her father. There was no need to give Zhao Yumei face.
"Shufang, I heard from my child that your family is in a very noisy state. Did your stepmother bully you again?"
Xiufen pulled Liu Shufang aside and whispered to her. He didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of angering Ning Haitao, so he would go back and make trouble for her.
"It's fine, I can handle it."
Liu Shufang smiled and shook her head. She looked at Xiufeng gratefully. She was a kind woman, and her question was not about gossip, but about caring about her.
"That's good. With the bicycle here, can your man ride it?"
Xiufen did not seem to feel any heartache. She just asked with concern as she pushed her brand-new bike out of the barn. She was reluctant to let such a precious thing be exposed to the sun.
"He knows how to ride, don't worry!"
Bicycles were a rarity at this time. They were extremely precious, so how could he be willing to lend them to others?
If she hadn't wanted to save time, she wouldn't have spoken.
Ning Hai Tao pretended that he didn't hear their conversation and squatted in front of Niu Niu and played with her. Little kids also liked handsome men, so they reached out their dirty little hands and rubbed them on Hai Tao's face, giggling.
Liu Shufang noticed that Hai Tao was looking at his child with a gentle gaze, without a shred of disdain.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene from his previous life. He treated his son that wasn't his biological son very well and loved him dearly. Perhaps he was a loving man and they would have their own children in the future.
"Shufang, your man is not bad. He is handsome and has a good temper. I can't be wrong about you."
When Xiufen saw this warm scene, she laughed and said to Shufang with a little jealousy, "Your son didn't even try to take his hand. He will just lie on the brick bed when he gets home."
"That's right!" "He is a very good man, and my life is not bad."
Liu Shufang replied with a smile. Her beautiful big eyes were staring at her man, and she realized that he really had no flaws.
He knew how to take care of his wife. Most importantly, he could not find a man more handsome than her in the Wu Li Eight Village.
The corner of his mouth curled up even more. After bidding farewell to Sister Xiufeng, he pushed his bicycle and called out to Hai Tao, "Let's go!"
"Elder sister Xiufeng, we're leaving."
Ning Haitao stood up and looked at Xiufen politely as he bid her farewell.
"Mm. Alright."
Xiufen blushed when she spoke to the strange man. Ning Haitao was eye-catching and handsome. His tall body was as straight as a pine tree. Xiufen didn't even dare to look at him. She replied in a low voice and went to coax Niuniu.
Ning Hai Tao was riding the bike. He had a pair of long legs, so he easily got on the bike. His hands were on the handlebars while his legs supported the ground, making it convenient for his wife to get on the bike.
In his previous life, Zhang Qiang had ridden on a bicycle to carry her, but he hadn't cared about her at all. The speed at which he rode was still very fast, so she could only chase after him at a fast pace, almost falling to the ground twice.
Ye Zichen got on the car with a smile, and sat on the car steadily with his arms around Ning Hai Tao's sturdy waist, just like how he saw men and women in love in his previous life.
Ning Haitao saw that she had settled down and felt the soft hands on his waist again. The corner of his mouth raised. After a series of crisp bicycle bells, the two of them rushed to the town.
They didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes that were filled with envy, and that a pair of eyes that had always been hiding in the shadows and spying on them ..
