Ma Laiwang's heart was hanging in midair; as soon as the wet shoes got near the stove, they started emitting white smoke, and the stench immediately spread throughout the room. Even he found it unbearable, wishing desperately he could just dig a hole and disappear into it.
"Congratulations, Brother Ma." Luo Da seemingly didn't notice the smell and grinned at Ma Laiwang. "Are you getting married at the end of the month? Once you have a wife, you'll have someone to take care of things."
"Exactly." Luo Er nodded, even sighing, "A household needs a woman; only with a good woman can it flourish."
Luo Da glanced at his brother for a moment. He knew there was some discontent in his heart, but he didn't care about his sister-in-law and the family. After all, a woman's life is tough without a man at home.
Ma Laiwang forced a smile, thinking with a mother like his, could a good woman even come his way?
Luo Da and Luo Er dropped the topic, instead urging Ma Laiwang to drink some soup.
