My Stuttering Little Husband

Please add my upcoming novel, The Leafcutter Bee Is Expecting, to your collection!

Blurb

Chang Liu has a slight stutter. The other villagers have excluded and bullied him since childhood, which only made his stutter worse.

When he came of age to marry, Chang Liu was married into the Zhang family in Taoli Village.

Zhang Qingsong is a cook. His family was poor when he was younger, so he couldn't afford to marry. Only after he had saved a little money did he dare go to ask for a match.

Chang Liu never expected anyone to be willing to marry him. His heart pounded as he peeked shyly from behind the door.

Zhang Qingsong was tall and sturdy, and, most importantly, he wasn't bad-looking. And he was willing to marry a stutterer like Chang Liu.

Chang Liu picked at the doorframe and thought: I like this old man.

*

After the wedding, Chang Liu was given a hard time by his in-laws in the newly built house and bullied by his sister-in-law. He had never been hit at home before, but on only the second day of his marriage, someone beat him.

Chang Liu felt wronged. When his husband found out, he not only got justice for him but also decided to split from the family. He took Chang Liu, his younger brother, and a huge water buffalo back to the old house to live.

The people in the new house waited for them to become a laughingstock, eager to kick them while they were down. But Chang Liu and the others only grew better off.

They opened a little general store, found the younger brother an excellent match, and the following year, Zhang Qingsong got a raise.

The family prospered. They bought two piglets to raise, and Chang Liu even brought his father and dad over to live with them. The people in the new house were so furious that they smashed bowls and threw dishes around.

Upcoming Novel Blurb

Weng Yuan is a hardworking leafcutter bee. When he came of age, he decided to see more of the human world. But the very next day, he ran off in a panic, clutching his backside.

Weng Yuan: Boohoo... Humans are scary.

He never dared to go outside again.

Then one morning, two months later, Weng Yuan was just about to enjoy breakfast when suddenly: "Blegh!"

Weng Yuan cared about his health, so he immediately flew to see a doctor. With tears in his eyes, he asked, "Doctor, do I have some terrible illness?"

The doctor felt his pulse and replied gravely, "No, you're just pregnant."

Weng Yuan was stunned!

Could male bees get pregnant?

*

Weng Yuan had learned something new: when a male leafcutter bee gets poked in the butt by a human, he ends up carrying a little one.

Since he was already carrying one, he might as well hurry up and prepare a nursery!

So, while his belly was still small, Weng Yuan searched the whole world for the prettiest, cleanest roses, planning to cut them up and build a nest for his baby.

After searching for ages, he finally found a row of huge, beautiful roses in the human world. He happily cut off the leaves and rode away on them, not noticing the pair of cold eyes fixed on him from behind.

Qi Ran had been in poor health since childhood, so he had practiced Taoism. He had become so pure-hearted and detached from worldly desires that one careless mistake with a little demon ruined his cultivation and unsettled his heart.

Just as he was searching everywhere for the little demon, the other brazenly walked into his courtyard and then...

Cut the roses he had so carefully grown.

Qi Ran crushed the prayer beads in his hand, closed his eyes, and swore he would make the little demon suffer. Then...

He moved the roses in the middle of the night.

The next day, the little demon couldn't find the roses, just as expected, and frantically paced in circles.

Qi Ran watched and smiled with satisfaction. But the little demon spotted him first, dashed over, grabbed his hand, and cried, "Boohoo! You poked a baby into me, and I need to build it a nest, but I can't find any pretty roses!"

Qi Ran froze for a moment, then immediately flung his hand away and shouted furiously, "You're a male bee!"

*

Weng Yuan: "You don't believe me?"

"Blegh!"

Qi Ran: ...

"All right, I believe you. Stop throwing up. I'll take care of you."

*

On the day he gave birth, Weng Yuan put all his strength into it and finally delivered the baby. But after one look, he burst into tears and hurled a pillow at the man, sobbing, "You're so useless! Why is there only one baby?"

Qi Ran: ...

Then... should I try harder?

Premise: Say your love out loud!
