Why do men think the first time tastes especially good?

Chapter 1: A Ridiculously Bad Transmigration
"That old Chen family's wife really ought to be drowned in a pig cage, climbing into the Yu family's bed like that!"
"Exactly! Just look at what she looks like, would the Yu family ever fancy her?"
"And that old Chen family actually took her back, really..."
"Isn't it all for the child? Sigh..."
In the old Chen family's wooden house on the mountain, a woman whose face was covered in pustules and whose body was bloated lay motionless on the bed.
A little boy of about four years old held a bowl of water, standing by the bed, feeding water to the woman on the bed.
The woman suddenly choked and started coughing, more and more violently, until at last she opened her eyes, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings around her, her eyes full of confusion.
"Mother!" The little boy was overjoyed.
Xia Xiaomai coughed for a good while before she came back to her senses. She looked over and found that a little bun was actually standing beside her, his face covered in dust, so thin there was barely any meat on his face, but his pair of eyes were very bright.
"Who are you calling mother?" Xia Xiaomai turned her head with difficulty, looking around, and found that in this room besides the little bun, there was only her. And just from that one movement, she felt the flesh on her neck had locked up her motion.
What was going on? Xia Xiaomai raised her hand to feel her neck, but what met her eyes was a dirty, big, fat hand. This had to be the hand of someone weighing at least 130 jin, right? Was this her? She wasn't dreaming, was she?
Xia Xiaomai hurriedly pulled open the quilt, and her lower body was even more terrifying, obese and bloated, and she could even smell the stench coming off her own body.
This was her? Xia Xiaomai was startled, and hurriedly crawled up, wanting to get off the bed to go find a mirror. Her legs went weak, and she sat back down on the bed.
By accident her hand touched her own hair, a greasy clump, so stiff you could feel it with a single touch.
Good heavens, what was going on? This was her hair?
Suddenly, her head felt like it was about to explode, scenes flashing one after another.
She hurt so much she rolled around on the bed, information rapidly pouring into her head, and only then did she understand that she had transmigrated. The original host had married a hunter and even given birth to a little bun. When the son of Landlord Yu came home, she had actually climbed into the Yu family's bed, wanting to sleep with the Yu family's son, but ended up being thrown out. Walking back in a single layer of clothing in the dead of winter, she had lain in bed for two days and frozen to death.
What the hell? What the hell kind of person was this original host? How had she transmigrated into such a person?
Seeing his mother in such pain, the little bun's whole face was full of hesitation.
He wanted to see what was wrong with his mother, but he was also afraid his mother would hit him.
In the end, he still couldn't hold back, walked forward, timidly grabbed Xia Xiaomai's wrist, and gently asked her, "Mother, are you... are you having a headache?"
Xia Xiaomai was about to curse in her heart, this was just too ridiculous! How could there be such an awful original host?
"How can this woman be so shameless?" Xia Xiaomai couldn't help but curse out loud.
The little bun got scared, and accidentally fell off the bed. With his short arms and legs he crawled up from the ground and hurriedly shrank into the corner.
What was wrong with his mother, was she going to hit him?
Thinking of the scenes from before, the little bun was so frightened he curled into a ball.
Only then did Xia Xiaomai see the little bun in the corner, only three or four years old, his hair a mess, his body all dirty. Most importantly, on such a cold day, he was actually wearing only a single thin outer garment! And right now he was shivering.
She somewhat wanted to slap herself. Thinking of how the original host had abused him, Xia Xiaomai felt a bit of heartache.
"Come to mother."
Xia Xiaomai tried hard to squeeze out what she thought was a kind smile, but she didn't know that her face full of pustules and flesh all squeezed together, making her look even more terrifying.
The little bun hesitated a little, his mother hadn't hit him, and even told him to come over...
"I won't hit you, come over, or mother will get angry!"
Xia Xiaomai knew what the little bun was thinking, and deliberately said this.
The little bun was afraid of Xia Xiaomai, and slowly walked over. When he reached the bedside, Xia Xiaomai moved aside a little, letting him climb onto the bed, and covered him with the quilt.
Xia Xiaomai accidentally touched the bun's hand, and found it was ice-cold.
This damned original host, how could she have been so cruel to such a little bun?
Thinking of this, Xia Xiaomai wished she could gnash her teeth. If the original host were here, she would bite the original host to death!
The little bun was stunned for a moment, his mother had actually let him lie in bed with her, so warm...
Chapter 2: Wash, Wash, Scrub, Scrub
The little bun had just sat down on the bed when his stomach growled, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
That little look of his made Xia Xiaomai itch to hug him and give him a big kiss.
But the little bun was also covered in dirt all over right now, and Xia Xiaomai really didn't have the courage to go in for a bite. She also felt her own stomach was hungry, so she got up thinking of going to the kitchen to make lunch.
The whole room was filthy, and Xia Xiaomai didn't even want to touch anything, but for the sake of her stomach, she still opened the rice jar according to her memory. There was only a bottom layer of rice left in the rice jar.
Xia Xiaomai really wanted to look up at the sky and sigh again about how ridiculous this was! How could this family be so poor?
She was almost about to cry, but in the end she held back the bitterness and scraped out all that bit of rice, took it outside to the water vat by the door, and washed the rice with water.
It was the dead of winter right now, and snow was still drifting outside. Xia Xiaomai dragged her fat body along, and even bending over was very difficult.
She was very curious, how could the original host have eaten like a pig in a home this poor?
Holding back a heart full of complaints, she scooped water and washed the pot inside and out several times, only then washing away all that years-old grime, and only then did she put the rice into the pot, scooping in quite a bit of water. This little bit of rice definitely wouldn't work for cooking rice, so she would make porridge.
While Xia Xiaomai was struggling under the stove to light the fire with a flint, the little bun stood at the kitchen doorway, his pair of big eyes fixed tightly on her.
"Come, Doggie, come here~" Xia Xiaomai said this name with great disdain. They all said country children had to be given ugly names to survive, these were truly bad customs!
The little bun hesitated for a moment, then still walked over and squatted down beside Xia Xiaomai.
Xia Xiaomai got the fire going, and under the stove it slowly warmed up. Only then did the little bun's lip color improve a bit, he had just been shivering from the cold.
After finally cooking a pot of plain porridge, and after the two of them, one big and one small, had eaten their fill, Xia Xiaomai started heating water, gave the bun a hot bath, and washed him until he was pink and tender. This was a living, adorable little bun! Xia Xiaomai couldn't hold back her beastly urges and gave the little bun a big kiss.
The little bun shyly kept backing away, but in his heart he was very happy: his mother had kissed him.
"From now on you have to stay this clean and tidy, so cute!" Xia Xiaomai said, helping the little bun dry off the water on his body, then carried him to the bed and wrapped him up tight in the quilt.
"Just a bit too thin, no meat on his body." Xia Xiaomai was a little dissatisfied.
But thinking that the rice jar was out of rice and dinner still had no solution, her heart grew heavy again.
The fire on the stove never went out, always heating water. When Xia Xiaomai carried over hot water wanting to wash her own hair first, she was startled by her own reflection in the water.
"This ugly?!"
Xia Xiaomai almost poured the water straight out, but in the end she held back, and looked carefully again at the reflection in the water. There wasn't a single good spot on her face, it was all acne, and some acne had even grown acne on top of acne, some were suppurating, and after one look you didn't want a second look.
Besides the acne, there was even more flesh on her face, which had already squeezed all her facial features together, leaving only squinty eyes, and even her nose was almost impossible to make out.
"Is this still a woman? Good heavens, are you messing with me?"
Xia Xiaomai was still in grief and indignation, and her body and head itched so much she wanted to roll on the ground.
She could only prepare a big wooden basin of water, soaking her hair in it, and before she had even had time to scrub, the water in the basin had already turned black.
Xia Xiaomai's face darkened, and she kept changing the water and scrubbing, and only by the fourth basin of water did she feel her hair was washed clean.
The bath that followed was even more incredible. She heated three big pots of water, put it in a big wooden tub, and little by little scrubbed the blackened flesh on her body. Watching the water in the wooden tub turn black, Xia Xiaomai could only dry off her body, put on an undergarment, and with great effort move the tub of water outside.
That tub of water was too heavy, Xia Xiaomai couldn't move it, and the ground was slippery. Her foot slipped, and it looked like she was about to fall flat on the ground.
Done for, she was already ugly, and now she was going to land face-first!
Xia Xiaomai thought in grief and indignation, and for a long time she didn't feel any pain. Just as she was about to open her eyes, a mellow male voice sounded by her ear: "Are you still not going to stand up?"
Chapter 3: A Fresh Flower Stuck in Cow Dung
Xia Xiaomai opened her eyes, and found she was actually suspended in the air. She scrambled up using both hands and feet.
Looking up, standing in front of her was a great handsome man! A huge handsome man!
Descriptions like sword-like brows and bright eyes were not an exaggeration at all when applied to him, his nose was also tall and straight, and his figure looked burly at a glance. This height, it had to be 1.9 meters, right? She wondered if he had muscles, she wanted to pinch them.
"Since you're awake, then I'll speak plainly. I can't give you the life you want. If you want to leave, I won't stop you either. Don't even think about Landlord Yu's family. You can look for some other family."
That handsome man frowned, his eyes full of impatience, and the words he spoke were very blunt.
Xia Xiaomai was stunned, "What are you saying?"
"I don't want to go to Landlord Yu's family again next time to plead for you!"
After the handsome man said this, he left without even turning his head, that back view looking very dashing, and in his hand he was still holding a dead pheasant and a dead rabbit.
Xia Xiaomai's mind flashed, and she suddenly remembered, this seemed to be the original host's husband! What was his name? Oh right, Liu Xingchen!
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a waste, such a handsome man, and he was actually wasted on such an original host..."
Xia Xiaomai shook her head again and again, sighing for the handsome man. How could he have kissed that face of the original host, and even had a child with her, truly willing to take anything when starving!
To give up such a handsome man and go seduce some landlord's son, with this honorable appearance of hers, who would want her?
But this handsome man didn't seem to like his wife very much. In this freezing weather, he wouldn't throw her out, would he? No no, she absolutely couldn't let herself be thrown out by him, otherwise she wouldn't even have a place to live. She definitely had to have a good talk with the handsome man, they were husband and wife after all, he couldn't be so heartless.
Xia Xiaomai thought to herself, and in the end still mustered her strength to pour the water from the tub outside. When she went to the kitchen again wanting to scoop water, she found Liu Xingchen was plucking the pheasant's feathers.
When Liu Xingchen saw her come in, he didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued doing the work in his hands.
In Xia Xiaomai's memory, Liu Xingchen was a hunter, usually hunting some game to bring back to eat, and occasionally taking it to town to sell for grain. On such a cold winter day, he could still hunt wild rabbits and pheasants, showing he was very skilled.
"Liu Xingchen, I was wrong before, but after this time I understand. Let's live our days well this winter." Xia Xiaomai squatted beside Liu Xingchen, watching his movements, and gave him a promise.
After all, it was freezing cold, and if she went out, she didn't even have a bit of silver on her, she would absolutely freeze to death, and she didn't think there would be a second transmigration. So she took the initiative to show goodwill. Besides, there was an adorable little bun here, and a great handsome man like Liu Xingchen, also very pleasing to the eyes.
As for the future, once she earned enough money, she could go out and take a look, and find a suitable place to settle down.
Liu Xingchen gave an "mm," and the movements of his hands didn't slow down in the slightest.
Although he didn't like this wife of his, Doggie needed someone to take care of him, and he ran around outside every day and couldn't bring Doggie along, so he could only endure it.
Xia Xiaomai of course didn't know these things, but looking at the pheasant in front of her, her mind immediately thought of one delicious dish after another. Her stomach, which hadn't eaten its fill at noon, was already growling at this time. She moved her fat body and leaned a bit toward Liu Xingchen.
"Are we eating chicken tonight?"
Liu Xingchen replied coldly: "I'll give the chicken to my parents, we'll keep the rabbit for ourselves."
Xia Xiaomai gave an "oh," didn't say anything more, but got up, scooped up the hot water boiling in the pot, and carried it away.
Liu Xingchen's hands paused, and looking at her fat body moving with difficulty, he was somewhat puzzled.
In the past, as long as he gave a bit of game to his parents, Xia Xiaomai would make a fuss with him, wishing she could argue for days and nights. Why was it this time she didn't say much at all? As if she didn't care at all?
Chapter 4: You're Actually Eating Meat Here!
Just now from when he came back until now, she also didn't seem to have cursed him for being poor like before. Why did she seem like a different person, was it his illusion?
Xia Xiaomai on this side had no idea what Liu Xingchen was thinking. She had just been halfway through her bath, and her body still hadn't been cleaned up.
After pouring the water into the tub, she hurriedly dunked herself into the tub.
It was too cold this day. She searched the whole house and found the original host actually only had two thin outer garments! The little bun had only one set of clothes, which was why she had stuffed the little bun into the quilt after washing him.
"On such a cold day, wearing only so little clothing, and you actually didn't freeze to death!"
Xia Xiaomai soaked in the hot water, scrubbing herself, and only then did she feel quite a bit warmer.
After she finished washing and had put all her clothes back on, in the blink of an eye she felt terribly cold.
When she went to the kitchen again, she found Liu Xingchen was no longer in the kitchen.
Xia Xiaomai didn't care, took the rabbit placed in the kitchen, skinned it, and started to deal with it. The weather was too cold, so when she cleaned the rabbit she used all hot water. The firewood in the stove never stopped, and Xia Xiaomai kept adding water to the pot.
After the rabbit was cleaned, she found a kitchen knife, chopped the rabbit into small pieces, threw them into the pot to blanch, removing all the blood.
Searching around the kitchen, besides a few wilted sweet potatoes and a little bit of salt, there was nothing, not even oil to be seen.
Xia Xiaomai had no choice but to put the sweet potatoes in the stove to roast, and the rabbit meat could only have salt added, slowly simmering over a low fire.
When Liu Xingchen entered the kitchen, he saw Xia Xiaomai was actually cooking, and was stunned.
"What are you doing?"
"Cooking." Xia Xiaomai answered casually, and continued adding a piece of firewood to the stove.
Liu Xingchen frowned again, what exactly was this woman trying to do now?
"By the way, there's not a bit of grain left at home, can we go buy some grain?" Xia Xiaomai looked up at Liu Xingchen, her voice a bit weak. After all, when you take from someone you're beholden to them, when you eat from someone your mouth is short...
She could only tuck her tail between her legs now, after all, eating their food and drinking their drink...
Just as she was thinking this, someone outside started shouting.
"Sis, how come you haven't given the family any meat for so many days? We're so poor we can barely put food on the table!"
A girl's voice came from outside the house. It didn't sound loud, but it was grating to the ear.
As soon as the voice finished speaking, a girl entered the house.
Xia Xiaomai looked at the newcomer, a girl of fourteen or fifteen, with delicate features, neatly dressed, her hair in small braids, a lovely young girl full of youthful charm. Xia Xiaomai searched her memory and found that this girl was the sister of this body, Xia Lianhua.
Lianhua hadn't expected Liu Xingchen to already be home. Her steps paused for a moment, but in the end she turned to look at Xia Xiaomai: "Didn't you say you'd bring us meat these past couple of days? How come you still haven't sent it back? Mom made me come ask you!"
Xia Xiaomai was stunned. Had the original owner really promised that?
By then Xia Lianhua had already smelled the aroma of rabbit from the pot. Her eyes lit up, and she ran over in a few steps, lifted the pot lid, and when she saw the rabbit meat inside, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Sis, you actually don't care about us and are eating meat here by yourself! Mom raised you for nothing!"
As Xia Lianhua spoke, she reached out to grab the rabbit meat.
This sister of hers, ugly as she was, still brought shame to their family! And now she even dared to eat meat behind their backs. When she got home she'd tell Mom, and have Mom come sort her out!
