Rule Oddities, But I Bring My Wife

Lin Xi had a wife, but fate is unpredictable, and Lin Xi's wife died in a car accident. The good news is that she turned into a naive, amnesiac ghost and returned to her side.

There's...

Chapter 78 You know I have no money

Chapter 78 You know I have no money

If you put aside the halo of being a top university student and Shen Sangning, she's just an ordinary girl. Shen Sangning loves junk food, but she's afraid of the high calorie count and the resulting excess fat. Sometimes she pinches her belly, lamenting that she's gained weight again.

Lin Xi still thinks that Chen Sangning would look good if she ate some meat. She was a little thin when she was alive, but Chen Sangning would purse her lips and say that it would be better if she was thinner.

Chen Sangning didn't exercise as much as Lin Xi, nor did she enjoy it that much. To maintain her figure, she had to eat less snacks. But Lin Xi loved snacking next to her, and sometimes Chen Sangning couldn't help herself and would come over to ask for snacks too.

At this time, Lin Xi would even be a little bit mean and mock Shen Sang Ning, saying, "Wife, three chicken feet have the same calories as two bowls of rice."

At this moment, Shen Sangning's eyebrows would furrow. "Just a chicken foot. I'll go running with you today." She ate it, but she wanted to be a scoundrel while running, and only when Lin Xi pulled her hard did she burn off the calories from the chicken feet. She said she never snacked again, but seeing how deliciously Lin Xi ate, she couldn't help but lean over for more.

Shen Sangning no longer has this worry. No matter how much food she puts in her stomach, she can forget about it. She will never get fat in her life anyway.

Lin Xi held a basket full of snacks, and the salesperson began to sweep the goods. The originally black small screen popped up green numbers, and the number jumped a little bit after scanning it, and soon it reached 200 yuan. Lin Xi asked the salesperson for a plastic bag in advance, and while she scanned, Lin Xi put the goods into the bag.

One bag wasn't enough, so I ended up taking three plastic bags to fill them up. The number on the small screen also reached 328 yuan.

But when it came time to pay, Lin Xi and the salesperson stared at each other. This time, Lin Xi said decisively and shamelessly: "You know, I don't have any money."

The saleswoman's eyes widened: "You're lying! You clearly went to work before!"

"But the money is all gone. We have a child and she has to pay a lot for school. I don't have a penny in my pocket now."

"Then why are you still out shopping?!"

"Well, put it on your account first, and I'll give it to you later."

After Lin Xi finished speaking, she and Shen Sang Ning took their things and prepared to go out. Before leaving, they took two rotating sausages from the counter. The saleswoman opened her mouth wide, watching the two people walk away, and then looked at the radio that was already protesting. With tears in her eyes, she opened her wallet and stuffed small change into it.

If this were the real world, Lin Xi wouldn't have done that. She would have paid the bill honestly. It wasn't like she was broke. The funeral home owner had given her 150,000 yuan, and although she had given it all to Chen Sangning, it was clear from the current situation that Chen Sangning hadn't fully digested it. Lin Xi didn't know how much Chen Sangning had left, but a mere 328 yuan was something she should be able to pay.

But this is a world of rules and ghost stories. Asking her to pay? That's ridiculous. If you don't have money, come and rob it if you can. If you can rob it, I'll give it to you. If you can't, it will become my wife's snack.

Shen Sangning was incredibly strong. She carried two shopping bags in one hand, wearing the shoes Lin Xi had brought her from home. Her gait was unmistakable, and in the other hand, she was munching on a freshly baked sausage. Shen Sangning was certainly strong, but Lin Xi couldn't bring herself to let his wife carry all three bags. She grabbed a shopping bag herself and nibbled on a sausage in her other hand.

I have to say, the grilled sausages at the convenience store at the entrance of the community are quite delicious. I’ll eat two when I come back from picking up my kids at night.

As they walked home, Lin Xi looked at the community. The road was very quiet, and there was no one around. She didn't know where the neighbors were hiding. Lin Xi thought about the strange story that each of these small houses was a "home", and she felt a little itchy. If she could rent them all out and earn a commission, then supporting a wife would be a piece of cake.

But "home" has its own rules and thinking logic. If it is an "unhappy" family, it will probably not accept it, and it may even cause a backlash from the "home". But Lin Xi doesn't have so much time to confirm whether the tenants are happy or not. It will definitely be very difficult to manage them at that time. If it can't be a long-term business, then it can only be a one-time deal - Shen Sang Ning will eat up those "homes".

She took a bite of the sausage and looked at Shen Sangning next to her. She was also chewing on the sausage, but her movements were a little bold. After finishing a sausage in no time, she threw the wooden skewer directly into her mouth and ate it.

Hiss—that wooden stick won’t prick Ningning, right?

Lin Xi was a little worried. After she finished eating the sausage, she pulled Shen Sang Ning and said, "Ning Ning, you can't eat wooden sticks. After you finish eating, you have to throw them into the trash can. What if the wooden stick pokes you?"

After hearing what Lin Xi said, Shen Sang Ning opened her mouth, reached into her little hand, and took out the wooden stick again. Seeing what Shen Sang Ning did, Lin Xi fell silent. Shen Sang Ning realized Lin Xi's silence and turned her head to look at her: "Lin Xi?"

"Ningning, you can't keep spitting things out of your mouth."

Shen Sangning tilted her head: “Why?”

Lin Xi found it hard to explain for a moment. She just felt that spitting out something from her mouth was a bit weird, and… “It’s quite unhygienic.”

Lin Xi didn't know whether Shen Sang Ning could understand her thoughts. She just watched her throw the wooden stick into the trash can, then turned back to look at herself: "I'm not dirty."

Of course, Shen Sangning was not dirty. Not only was she not dirty, she was very clean. Lin Xi even wanted to go over and kiss Shen Sangning, but this kind of "cleanliness" was more like a public health issue. She could only use her shallow knowledge to popularize this matter with Shen Sangning. Lin Xi didn't know much, but Shen Sangning still listened to everything. When she reached the door of her house, Shen Sangning understood: You can't spit anything out of your mouth casually.

"Then can I take it from my stomach?" Shen Sangning immediately performed a unique skill for Lin Xi, and took out a stack of banknotes from her stomach with her backhand. This time, Lin Xi was very surprised: "Is it possible to do this?"

"Of course, you can also take it out from your head or your palm." Shen Sangning wanted to perform the stunt of "taking money out of your head" while talking, but was held down by Lin Xi: "No, no, don't perform this skill."

Even though she knew that Chen Sang Ning was harmless to her, it was a bit of a loss of san value. Even though Lin Xi's san value was quite high, it would be gone sooner or later if she continued like this. Chen Sang Ning was quite obedient. When Lin Xi didn't want her to perform, she really said "Oh" and stopped.

Lin Xi took out the key, opened the door and entered the hallway, and put the shopping bag in her hand on the hallway counter. Shen Sang Ning followed suit and put the two shopping bags in her hand on it. They took the bus to leave Binjiang City Center Primary School at 8:30, and it took about 20 minutes to arrive at the community gate at 9 o'clock. They bought a lot of things at the convenience store, and walked back slowly. It was already 9:30.

Lin Xi asked Chen Sang Ning to sit for a while, and went to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator door and checked the contents. "Home" was really awesome, the refrigerator was full of fresh vegetables and meat, Lin Xi saw a piece of beef brisket and shrimp. Lin Xi turned her head to look at Chen Sang Ning, although she asked Chen Sang Ning to sit down and rest for a while, Chen Sang Ning still followed behind Lin Xi.

"How about boiled shrimp and beef brisket with tomatoes for lunch?"

"good."

Shen Sangning agreed without any hesitation.

Lin Xi looked at the time. She had not eaten breakfast either. She had only eaten a sausage. Six o'clock this morning was exactly midnight in the real world. In order to deal with various problems in the world of rule stories, the base arranged for Lin Xi to have a midnight snack at 10 o'clock. Eating a midnight snack at 10 o'clock would not make Lin Xi hungry after entering the world of rule stories, nor would she feel sleepy and tired because of the high blood sugar level caused by fullness.

However, after such a long time, the glutton was aroused by the grilled sausage just now. Lin Xi was still a little hungry. She took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and started to process them one by one. She also arranged for Shen Sangning to help wash the rice and cook.

Chen Sang Ning didn't quite understand, but she still put the raw rice into the inner pot of the rice cooker as Lin Xi asked, and after washing it, added appropriate amount of clean water and put it back.

It was the word "appropriate clean water" that Shen Sangning couldn't understand: "What is appropriate?"

Lin Xi shook off the water from washing vegetables on her hands, wiped it on her apron, washed her hands again, and then came over to demonstrate to Shen Sang Ning: "That's right, we

Add some water first, then gather the rice together to make it a small peak. "Lin Xi said, her hands did not stop, Shen Sang Ning held the inner pot of the rice cooker, and she operated directly inside the inner pot, gathering the rice grains relatively together, and a small peak of a pyramid emerged.

"Then we add more water until the water covers this little tip, and that's it."

Under Lin Xi's guidance, they quickly completed the task of adding appropriate amounts of clean water. Then Shen Sang Ning combined the rice cooker pot and rice cooker into one, and finally pressed the cooking button, which was considered a success.

Lin Xi was washing vegetables and cooking while chatting with Shen Sang Ning. She thought about whether to tell Shen Sang Ning that she had met her parents, but she didn't say it. If possible, she thought Shen Sang Ning would never remember her parents. Lin Xi didn't think her parents were so considerate and open-minded before, but compared with Shen Sang Ning, they could really be said to be gods!

If my parents were still alive, they would definitely not be like this!

Lin Xi did not mention anything about Shen Sang Ning's parents in the end, but talked about other things, such as He Sitong and Alan Jones. Speaking of Alan Jones, Lin Xi thought of the scene at the school gate just now: "Apart from anything else, that Alan Jones is really strong. When I was receiving training from the instructor at the base, the instructor also gave me special training on Alan Jones."

"He is a senior security officer. There are wars everywhere in foreign countries, so Aaron Jones has suffered many serious injuries. The most serious one is the bullet wound in his right calf. I heard that he has sequelae, but you can't tell from the way he walks."
