Husband, Let Me Touch Your Abs

Chapter 35

When Lu Yao woke up, he found himself already dressed and lying on the kang in the east room.

Zhao Beichuan and the two children were not around, so he quickly got up and called out, "Beichuan?"

Xiaonian and Xiaodou ran over and said, "Sister-in-law, you're awake. Eldest Brother went to chop wood on the mountain. He said you were tired and told us not to disturb you."

Lu Yao couldn't help but blush when he recalled what happened last night. Although they didn't go all the way, they had done everything else, and their relationship had progressed quite rapidly.

It had to be said that young people had great stamina; after all the trouble last night, Zhao Beichuan still got up early to chop wood today.

"Have you eaten?"

"We've finished eating. We ate half of the leftover meat and rice from yesterday, and the rest is kept warm in the pot for you."

"Go play." Lu Yao folded the quilt and got off the kang, feeling a mix of pain and itchiness between his thighs. It must have swollen from the friction. He couldn't help muttering under his breath, cursing Zhao Beichuan for being like an animal...

After finishing his meal, Lu Yao took out the alum he bought yesterday, crushed it, mixed it with salt, and sprinkled it into the wooden basin where the rabbit skins were soaking. Once he returned from selling tofu, he could start tanning them.

Lin Daman came in to move the tofu and greeted Lu Yao upon seeing him awake. "Master Zhao sent the wooden cart back and asked us to take the mule cart to sell tofu."

Lu Yao asked, "Can you handle the mule cart?"

"I've driven it twice before; it should be fine."

"Then let's take the mule cart to sell tofu today."

Lu Yao loaded the scale and the jute bags for the beans onto the cart and also brought the pig leg he had cut last night to give to his family in Lujia Village later.

Lin Daman was still not very familiar with driving the mule cart, and as they left, the shaft almost hit the door frame, making him break out in cold sweat. "I haven't driven a cart in a long time; my hands are a bit rusty."

"It's okay. We need to practice more, or it will be difficult to push the small cart through the mountains when the weather gets colder."

Lu Yao sat on the cart and shouted to sell tofu while Lin Daman led the mule in front. Soon, they encountered several people buying tofu.

"Wow, the tofu seller has upgraded to a mule cart! You must be making a lot of money!" The one speaking was a toothless old man who often came to buy tofu.

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Not much, just hard-earned money."

"This mule isn't cheap, look at its big frame; from far away, it looks like a horse!"

"It cost more than six strings of coins, depleting our savings."

The old man said, "Young people these days are bold. If I had six strings of coins, I wouldn't spend it on a mule."

Lu Yao didn't say anything and served the old man his tofu. Lin Daman continued leading the mule into the village, tying it to a tree and shouting to sell tofu. People started coming over one by one.

Many of them, seeing the mule cart, spoke with envy. Lu Yao knew they were jealous but couldn't stop using it because of jealousy.

Today, they sold less tofu; only three-quarters of a slab. Lu Yao planned to take the remaining tofu directly to Lujia Village to sell.
