1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 048

“Holy crap, this liquor really goes to your head!”

Li Yunfeng felt like everything in front of him was doubling.

In his previous life, Li Yunfeng had never drunk liquor. Young people, they all liked to drink beer.

Not many people liked liquor; its pungent taste was simply unbearable.

Another reason was that liquor was very expensive, with good ones costing several hundred or even a thousand yuan.

But in these times, beer was genuinely unobtainable, so he could only drink liquor.

He hadn’t expected liquor to be so potent. The last time he didn’t drink much, so he was fine.

This time he drank over a pound and it directly went to his head!

At this moment, Li Yunfeng was still supporting Li Xiulian, and the two of them swayed unsteadily as they shuffled forward.

They finally made it to Old Lady Li’s doorstep. The door was ajar, and a dim, yellow light from a kerosene lamp emanated from inside.

“God-grandmother! I’ve brought my mother-in-law back!”

Li Yunfeng yelled out, straining his voice.

“Oh! Coming, coming!”

Old Lady Li’s voice came from inside, and then the door was pulled open from within.

The old lady saw their wobbly state and quickly stepped forward to lend a hand, muttering all the while.

“Oh my, Xiulian, child, why did you drink so much? Really, Yunfeng, you’ve worked hard, quickly, quickly help her in!”

Li Yunfeng half-dragged, half-carried Li Xiulian into the house.

The room was tidily kept, though the furnishings were a bit old.

Most noticeable was the large kang (heated bed), covered with straw mats instead of kang mats. The cotton quilt on top looked very thin.

He wondered if it would be cold in the morning!

The old lady watched Li Yunfeng and Li Xiulian swaying. She deftly helped Li Xiulian lie down on the kang, covered her with the quilt, and continued to speak.

“This child, she’s just too honest. She doesn’t know how to avoid it when people offer her drinks.”

“Who knows how much she’ll throw up later!”

Li Yunfeng saw that the person was delivered and wanted to leave quickly; his own drunkenness was also setting in.

If he didn’t leave soon, he might pass out. It was dead cold.

If he slept outside for a night, even with Li Yunfeng’s physique, he wouldn’t be able to handle it!

Then he’d really be done for, directly frozen to death.

“God-grandmother, I’ll head back first. If the alcohol hits me harder, I won’t be able to get back.”

Saying this, Li Yunfeng turned to leave.

“Go back for what!”

The old lady grabbed him, pressing him onto the edge of the kang without explanation.

“It’s freezing outside, and your face is all red from drinking; you must be feeling it too. Come, Grandma brewed you a bowl of hangover soup. Quickly drink it to warm up and sober up!”

“Wait until you’re sober before you go back!”

Saying this, the old lady turned and picked up a large, rough ceramic bowl from the small stove nearby. Inside was steaming, yellowish soup. He couldn’t tell what it smelled like.

“God-grandmother, I’m really fine, no, no need!”

Li Yunfeng was already slurring his words. If he delayed any longer, he really wouldn’t be able to get back!

“What ‘no need’! Drink it quickly!”

The old lady forcefully put the bowl into his hand, then glanced at Li Xiulian lying on the kang, lowering her voice.

“Yunfeng, look at Xiulian, she’s so drunk, and I’m just an old woman, I can’t look after her alone. If she gets thirsty at night and wants water, or needs to get up, my legs aren’t nimble…”

Though the old lady hadn’t finished her sentence, her meaning was clear.

Li Yunfeng’s head was already spinning. With the old lady saying asleep.”

“Ah! That’s right!”

A satisfied smile appeared on the old lady’s face.

“Then you drink the soup first. I’m going to sleep in the inner room. When people get old, they fall asleep as soon as their head hits the pillow.”

She pointed to the innermost part of the kang, against the wall.

“There’s a mat laid there too. If you’re sleepy, you can nap there for a bit, just don’t get cold.”

After saying that, the old lady didn’t wait for Li Yunfeng to speak again, and turned to enter the bedroom inside the outer room.

After the old lady left, the room immediately quieted down, leaving only the occasional “crackling” of the kerosene lamp’s flame and Li Xiulian’s even breathing from the kang.

Li Yunfeng held the warm bowl of hangover soup, sitting on the edge of the kang, his mind a bit confused.

Was this old lady truly muddled or just pretending? To let a grown man stay in the same room as his drunk daughter-in-law, and even let him nap on the kang? What kind of situation was this!

He took two sips of the hangover soup, feeling a warmth in his stomach, but his head was still heavy.

The kang was too hot, making his back sweat. Coupled with the alcohol, he felt even more uncomfortably hot.

He glanced at Li Xiulian on the kang. This woman was sleeping soundly, her cheeks flushed, her lips slightly pouted, her chest rising and falling with her breathing. The quilt had slipped down a bit, revealing her fair neck and a small section of her delicate collarbone.

In the darkness, the dim yellow lamplight shone on her face, adding a hazy allure. Li Yunfeng felt parched and quickly gulped down two more sips of hangover soup.

He didn’t know how much time passed, but Li Yunfeng also felt his eyelids drooping, and waves of drowsiness washed over him.

But why did Li Yunfeng feel his body getting hotter and hotter?

Li Yunfeng thought he would just lean on the edge of the kang for a while, and then slip away as soon as the alcohol wore off.

But the kang was too hot, and he had drunk alcohol. Leaning there, his eyelids grew heavier and heavier. His head tilted, and he also vaguely fell asleep.

In his dream, he felt a soft, fragrant body lean against him, even actively burrowing into his arms.

The feeling was exactly the same as when Shuhua used to secretly come to find him.

He instinctively reached out, pulling the soft body into his embrace, and mumbled indistinctly, “Sister Shuhua, don’t, don’t mess around, I’ve drunk too much, can’t get it up!”

The person in his arms seemed to let out a soft moan, then went still.

Li Yunfeng completely sank into his dream.

…

The next day, as dawn was just breaking, only a faint light filtered through the window.

Li Yunfeng woke up groggily. The hangover made his head ache, but he habitually hugged the person in his arms, his palm unconsciously caressing the smooth back.

Huh? This feel? It seemed a bit off?

Shuhua’s skin was smooth too, but it wasn’t this… this delicate? And this body, it seemed a bit more voluptuous?

His heart “thumped,” and he abruptly opened his eyes!

Borrowing the faint light, he looked down and saw that the person he was holding was not Shuhua at all! It was clearly his cheap mother-in-law, Li Xiulian!

Li Xiulian was also awake, staring at him with her watery, phoenix-like eyes.

Her face was flushed from the alcohol, her lips slightly upturned, and her eyes held shyness, panic, but even more, a joy like a weasel stealing a chicken?

“Mother… mother-in-law?!”

Li Yunfeng’s mind buzzed with a loud roar.

He quickly scrambled off the kang, fumbling to put on his clothes, even buttoning several buttons incorrectly.

Li Xiulian lay languidly in the quilt, watching his disheveled state, a satisfied smile playing on her lips, her voice a little hoarse.

“Mm, you should leave quickly, don’t let anyone see.”

Li Yunfeng dared not linger. He hastily put on his clothes, didn’t even wash his face, pulled open the door, and darted out. How to describe it?

Exciting~~~!

Li Yunfeng jogged all the way home, his head still buzzing.

What kind of situation was this! How could he have…?

Sigh! How was he going to deal with this now?

How could he face Shuhua later?

How could he face Old Lady Li?

Li Yunfeng sat at his doorstep, recalling what happened last night.

This alcohol, it really harms people!

And that Old Lady Li, that bowl of hangover soup also harmed people!

This cheap mother-in-law, also harmed people greatly!!

No, he couldn’t stay here any longer. He had to go out for a walk and think of a countermeasure.

After all, whether in the countryside or the city.

You could casually find women, but someone like Li Yunfeng?

He could easily be arrested and executed!
