Chapter 9 He Can't Afford to Bet



Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Someone said, "Anyway, just watch, there's a saying, what's it again?"

We're all a bunch of roughnecks, we don't know anything.

However, Shulan's actions this time have changed their opinions of her to some extent.

Zhou Meng looked at what everyone was saying but didn't say anything.

He simply looked in the direction the general had left, reflecting on everything that had just happened.

He thought: Perhaps they have a real wife. He only hoped that this wife was truly at odds with the Xie family, and not someone like Xie Huilin, who was as beautiful as jade but as venomous as a snake.

On the other side, He Fengmian and Liu Moyang strode into the tent.

The latter couldn't help but ask, "Jianxing, do you think there's any hope for Big Brother's leg?"

When Shulan questioned Liu Zi, Liu Moyang became excited, thinking of He Fengling's leg.

Back then, when He Fengling injured his leg, His Majesty personally led the Imperial Hospital to the hospital, but no matter who it was, they all said that his elder brother's leg was beyond saving.

Even Feng Mian's maternal grandfather and uncle searched for renowned doctors all over the country, but still couldn't find a solution.

But for some reason, when he heard her ask about Liu Zi, hope ignited in Liu Moyang's heart.

After all, this lady has a master who can't even figure out the fifth day of the lunar month, so does that mean they can cure her brother's leg?

Various emotions flashed in He Fengmian's eyes, but in the end he just closed them.

Controlling her emotions, she said, "Let me think about it again."

Although he also wanted his older brother's leg to be healed, he couldn't allow anything to go wrong.

He wouldn't joke about his brother's legs and life without having absolute trust in this person.

He can't afford to gamble.

Liu Moyang also realized what was happening, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "I was too hasty."

Even though this Xie family girl always acted harmless and wanted to cooperate with them.

You can know a person's face but not their heart; who knows what she really wants to do?

They really shouldn't have taken the risk before they found out everything about her.

Meanwhile, Shulan, who had been the subject of their conversation, was holding a torch given to her by a soldier, standing guard beside Chen Ma with Xiao Cui.

While keeping the light on, he stared longingly at the braised pork in the pot.

At that time, there were no iron pots; people usually stewed dishes using earthenware pots.

The earthenware pot was simmering meat. After the meat released its aroma, Chen Ma saw two people with bright eyes, practically drooling.

I couldn't help but laugh. How come I never noticed before that Miss was so greedy?

Shulan chuckled and said, "Aunt Chen, the meat you made smells so good!"

It wasn't that she was greedy; during the two years she was confined to bed, although she ate fish and meat, she mainly focused on healthy foods.

Chen Ma's dishes used to be like that; they tasted good, but they were too bland because the original owner didn't like strong flavors.

But now, Shulan is no longer willing to eat bland meals every day and wants to change her taste occasionally.

Chen's mother is incredibly talented at cooking. She only taught her verbally, but the food turned out delicious.

After the braised pork was cooked, I also prepared a side dish and some pickled vegetables that I made myself.

The family of three spread out their belongings, placed a torch beside them, and sat down to eat.

While eating, Shulan couldn't help but say, "Aunt Chen, all the dishes you make are so delicious. If you opened a restaurant, there would definitely be a lot of people coming to eat there."

Xiao Cui, standing beside the earthenware pot, casually remarked, "My mother wants to open a restaurant."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Ma interrupted her, but Shulan already knew.

Opening a restaurant requires money. Not to mention that Chen Ma's money was all used to support them, even the compensation her husband received wouldn't be enough to rent a restaurant.

Moreover, because of the original owner of this body, she had been working as a servant in the Xie family. It was impossible for her to even set up a stall, let alone a restaurant.

As Shulan ate the braised pork, an idea suddenly came to her. She said confidently, "It's simple. Once we get to the border and become familiar with the area, we'll open a small restaurant."

If she doesn't have enough money, she can discuss a partnership with He Dahuzi.

Xiao Cui looked up and asked expectantly, "Really?"

She wouldn't have dared to imagine this before.

However, the one who has recently been brainwashed by her young mistress is only thirteen years old, like a little girl, and is increasingly yearning for life outside.

"certainly."

She placed a piece of braised pork on Chen Ma's and Xiao Cui's plates, smiling broadly, "When we get to the border, I'll open a pharmacy, and you can open a restaurant next door. We'll make money together and live happily together."

Having experienced life and death, she has come to understand many things.

Aside from life and death, nothing else matters.

If God gave her another chance, she would want to live life to the fullest, to live freely, and to make the most of her life.

That way, I won't have lived this life in vain, will I?
