Chapter 28 The Money is All Spent
While he was daydreaming, Xie Mubai clearly saw that the ugly woman had stretched out her evil little black hand.
"No!" His body stiffened, and he subconsciously pushed the black hand away. "Believe me, this is not a good thing for you or me."
After spending some time together, although he no longer disliked the ugly woman in front of him, he never thought about taking the relationship further.
If you don't love her, perhaps remaining a virgin is the greatest respect for her and for yourself.
Shen Wan was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses.
"Uncle, what on earth are you thinking about?" She clutched her stomach and laughed until tears came out. "I just wanted to carry you to the wooden bench. Do you want to sit on the bed and take a shower?"
It is true that this villain is good-looking, but how could she have any emotional entanglement with the characters in the book?
What if one day she really goes back, and at a family gathering she has to open the book and introduce this person to her family as her boyfriend, and that she will marry and have children with this villain in the book?
Seeing her laughing so hard that she fell backwards, Xie Mubai's expression became even uglier.
For some reason, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, he felt a strange sense of loss in his heart.
Xie Mubai didn't say anything else, but just let the ugly woman carry him to the small wooden stool in front of the table.
"You sit down and wash slowly. I'll be outside the door. Call me if you need anything." After everything was done, Shen Wan suppressed her smile and left the room.
Although the weather was hot, there was a cool breeze in the corridor.
Shen Wan stood at the door, listening to the sound of running water in the house while counting the stars in the sky.
"Do you want me to rub your back?" She was really bored, so she teased him deliberately.
Sure enough, the sound of running water in the house suddenly stopped.
You can tell without even looking that someone's face must be turning red.
After hearing this, Shen Wan laughed even more happily.
At this time, Scarface came to deliver dinner.
Seeing her smile so happily and listening to the sound of running water in the house, he seemed to understand something.
Poor sickly pretty boy, I don’t know how long he can hold out under the ravages of that ugly woman.
Alas, the Duke of Zhenguo’s family is in misfortune!
Scarface handed the meal to Shen Wan, and said with a complicated look: "Um... I know you are newlyweds, and the relationship between husband and wife is naturally very good, but..."
He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue.
"Forget it." He shook his head and said helplessly, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Scarface sighed and left in a hurry.
Shen Wan was confused after hearing this, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
Alas, men are such strange creatures, why are their thought processes so strange?
Could it be that the original owner's face looked too evil, always making them think of something wrong?
Soon, Xie Mubai finished his shower.
Shen Wan opened the door and brought the food in.
Seeing him sitting there in a clean outfit, she deliberately whistled.
As expected, the innocent villain blushed again.
Shen Wan looked at it and burst out laughing.
After discovering that this was a prank by the ugly girl, Xie Mubai's face was so gloomy that water could almost be squeezed out of it.
"Okay, it's just a joke!" Shen Wan put the food on the table with a smile, "Don't look so gloomy, I'm timid and I'll be scared if I see it."
"You eat first, I'll pour out the bath water."
The chef’s cooking skills aren’t that great, but you can tell he really put his heart into it.
Two bowls of white rice, a plate of fried bamboo shoots, and a large bowl of stewed wolf meat. This treatment is definitely the best among the exiles.
Xie Mubai didn't eat it, but waited until Shen Wan poured out the remaining water before picking up the chopsticks.
Neither of them was a picky eater, and they finished so much food that only a little bit of vegetable juice was left.
The poor Xie family had nothing but vegetable juice and steamed bread.
In the middle of the night, Sun suddenly developed a high fever.
The officer found a doctor, but within one night all the money was spent and the situation did not improve at all.
"Maybe my fifth brother's wife will have a way." Qian said thoughtfully while holding Erbao.
Xie Murong sat in the corner, looking at her with a half-smile: "Do you still have the nerve to beg others? Anyway, I don't have the nerve."
Aunt Zhou's expression also changed.
She didn't have much affection for her daughter-in-law, Sun, but if she let go, she was afraid that it would disappoint the others, after all, she still had to rely on them to serve her along the way.
She thought about it and took Zhao to find Hu Dahai.
It would definitely not work if he asked the ugly girl directly, but if Hu Dahai asked him, things might be different.
Hu Dahai hated the Xie family so much that when he heard it was them, he drove them away without even asking any questions.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the yard with a look of loss on their faces, only to see Scarface walking towards them.
Seeing this, Zhao stepped forward and begged bitterly.
Seeing that she was really pitiful, Scarface hesitated for a moment, but still took them to find Shen Wan.
"No!" Shen Wan refused without even thinking about it. "You know how Sun hurt me, why should I save her?"
Seeing this ugly woman being so disrespectful, Scarface's expression turned unhappy: "But she is your sister-in-law after all!"
He didn't like the Sun family either, but two prisoners had already died at the beginning of the exile. If too many died, they would have a hard time explaining themselves after returning to Beijing.
"When she hurt me, she never thought that I was her sister-in-law!" Shen Wan said unhappily while combing her hair, "You guys should leave quickly. I need to change my clothes."
Seeing that she had ordered them to leave, Aunt Zhou walked straight up to Xie Mubai.
"I know you're angry with us." She squeezed out a few tears and said pitifully, "But no matter what, Sun has been loyal to your third brother since she came into the family. It hasn't been easy for her all these years."
"For your third brother's sake, please speak up for her."
When Xie Mubai thought of his third brother’s tragic death, his eyes became complicated.
Among his four half-brothers, he has the best relationship with his third brother.
Since they were not born of the same mother, his other half brothers were indifferent to him.
Only the third brother would bring him some local products every time he returned from an expedition, and would also tell him about the customs of each place.
It is also because of this that among all the sisters-in-law, Xie Mubai is particularly tolerant of Sun.
He hesitated for a moment before looking up at Shen Wan.
"You don't want to be a saint, do you?" Shen Wan's face darkened.
Although Xie Mubai didn't understand what the Virgin Mary meant, he knew it was not a good thing to say.
He thought for a moment and said, "How about asking her to pay ten taels of silver?"
Ten taels?
When they heard this number, not to mention Shen Wan, even Scarface thought that this sickly pretty guy was crazy.
If Sun had ten taels of silver, she would have gone to the town to hire a doctor long ago. Why would she come to this ugly woman for help?
"All of Sun's money was used to buy medicine. We are really broke!" Aunt Zhou pretended to be sad and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. "Oh my God, isn't it enough that you took away my husband and son? Now you are taking away my daughter-in-law too?"
Xie Mubai sneered, his eyes falling on her feet: "If I'm not mistaken, you still have ten taels of silver in your shoes."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou's expression suddenly changed.
She hid the money secretly for emergencies.
In order to avoid being discovered, she didn't even take off her shoes along the way, but how did this sickly guy find her?
"Really?" Zhao pretended to be surprised and turned to look at Aunt Zhou.
She was very meticulous and there was no way that Aunt Zhou's little tricks could be hidden from her eyes. She was just too lazy to expose them.
But now Sun's life is hanging by a thread, and this woman is unwilling to pay, which makes her feel a little sad.
