Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Chapter 913 - 916: Behave Yourself

Who is this disheveled woman in the yard?Although Fengzhu Village is not a wealthy village, there shouldn't be any beggars here.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou prepared to ask about this disheveled woman.

But when Liu Ergou looked closely, he found the woman somewhat familiar.

If nothing unexpected, he should know her.

But who on earth is she?

Just as Liu Ergou was lost in thought, the disheveled woman suddenly rushed towards him.

Before Liu Ergou could react, the disheveled woman threw herself into Liu Ergou's arms and started crying.

"Liu Ergou!"

"You really are something! You left me here all alone and disappeared for half a month!"

"Do you even know how I've been living these two weeks? I can't even take a bath here, and going to the bathroom is so inconvenient!"

"Even those things I brought with me were of the poorest quality!"

"Boo hoo hoo, if you hadn't come back, I would have gone crazy!"

Hearing the woman's voice, Liu Ergou suddenly realized.

This, this isn't Mi Xiaoying?

How did she end up looking like this, almost like a beggar?

Looking at Mi Xiaoying's appearance, Liu Ergou quickly reached out to hug her, softly asking, "Xiao Ying, what's happened to you? How did you end up like this?"

"Look at you, I didn't even recognize you just now!"

Saying this only made Mi Xiaoying cry even harder.

"It's not my fault!"

"This lousy place doesn't even have a shower; you have no idea how miserable it is!"

Listening to Mi Xiaoying, Liu Ergou couldn't help but scratch his head.

His home, though simple, shouldn't have a problem with bathing, right?

Well, maybe a small problem.

But taking a quick wipe or washing the face should be easy.

No matter what, Mi Xiaoying shouldn't have ended up like this.

The more Liu Ergou thought about it, the more curious he became, so he couldn't help but say, "Xiao Ying, let's be honest now!"

"Even though my place is simple, wiping yourself down or washing your face is still possible!"

"But look at yourself, I can't even bear to look! Don't tell me you haven't bathed or washed your face since I left!"

"If you continue like this, I'm going to start disliking you!"

Hearing Liu Ergou's words, Mi Xiaoying explained with a face full of grievance, "Who said I haven't bathed or washed my face!"

"Today, when I went to the factory, I accidentally stepped into a pit, and then..."

Saying this, an embarrassed smile appeared on Mi Xiaoying's face.

And Liu Ergou understood.

Mi Xiaoying was just too aggrieved, so she ended up like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou shook his head with a smile.

"So that's what happened, I understand now!"

"It's indeed my fault; I left for so long and abandoned you here alone."

"I'm sorry, I'll definitely make it up to you tonight, okay!"

Speaking of this, Liu Ergou looked around.

After confirming that no one was around, he leaned closer to Mi Xiaoying's ear and added softly.

"Tonight, it will be just us two, no one else!"

When Mi Xiaoying heard this, her eyes instantly brightened.

She quickly nodded.

"Yes, yes, you said it yourself. Tonight, it's just the two of us; you can't go back on your word!"

"Don't worry, I won't renege on my promise!" Liu Ergou said with a smile. "But hey, in the meantime, I think you should go take a bath first!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go get some water heated!"

With that, Liu Ergou turned and headed towards the kitchen to prepare hot water for Mi Xiaoying.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Xiao Ying, where's my sister-in-law? I haven't seen her around."

Mi Xiaoying replied, "Sister-in-law went to the new house. The new house is all built, but it just needs to be prepped and tidied up."

"I suggested hiring someone, but sister-in-law insisted on doing it herself, saying hiring workers would be a waste of money."

"To my count, she's been at it for two or three days already! If nothing goes wrong, she should be almost done!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou sighed softly.

It's really hard to tell what to say about his sister-in-law. Even though they are no longer short on money, she is still so frugal.

It seems like he must correct his sister-in-law's mindset properly.

Liu Ergou thought about this as he headed to the kitchen to heat the water.

An hour later, Liu Ergou had heated up a large pot of hot water.

Then, under Mi Xiaoying's instructions, Liu Ergou found a brand new bathtub and brought it out.

According to Mi Xiaoying, this bathtub was a new purchase after Liu Ergou left.

Soon enough, Liu Ergou adjusted the water temperature and made sure to lock the courtyard's gate.

Once confirmed there were no issues.

Mi Xiaoying slowly took off her clothes and dipped into the bathtub.

As the warm water enveloped Mi Xiaoying's body, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah, so comfortable, I haven't soaked in a bath for so long!"

"These past two weeks have been unimaginable!"

Hearing Mi Xiaoying's words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Xiao Ying, the way you say that sounds a bit off!"

"Knowing it's not comfortable here, why didn't you return to the city? You chose to stay here waiting for me."

"If you're not suffering, who is?"

As soon as Liu Ergou finished, Mi Xiaoying immediately retorted, "Humph, you think I actually wanted to stay here!"

"The factory is under construction now, and so many things require my attention."

"This is my first time managing a factory in such a remote place, I just can't leave, spending two or three hours each day addressing those chaotic matters."

Saying this, Mi Xiaoying couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it."

"Ergou, come help me rub my shoulders, I've been really, really tired these days!"

"Now that you're back, I can finally rest a bit!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou said nothing more, and just approached Mi Xiaoying and began massaging her shoulders.

At first, Mi Xiaoying leaned over the bathtub, eyes closed, enjoying Liu Ergou's massage.

Liu Ergou acted appropriately, and everything was calm, nothing out of the ordinary.

But this calm didn't last more than three minutes.

Mi Xiaoying was the first to act up.

She suddenly scooped up a handful of warm water and splashed it all over Liu Ergou.

In an instant, Liu Ergou's clothes were soaked.

Looking at his drenched clothes, Liu Ergou said in exasperation, "Xiao Ying, how old are you now?"

"Can't you just behave?"
