Chapter 7 Ghosts
Ye Wan: ? ? ?
Brother, do you want to hear what you're saying? Is that even human language? When did she become so impatient?
"You're overthinking it. I'm not in a hurry. I'm here to ask if I can buy back my indenture." Ye Wan emphasized.
Wang Da Niang's reaction just now solidified her belief that Lin An Yuan definitely had problems with his character, and she needed to leave.
Lin Anyuan's face instantly turned cold upon hearing this, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "You still want to run away?"
Ye Wan hurriedly shook her head, "No, I'm trying to reason with you nicely. You saved me, which is a great kindness to me, and I'm willing to repay your kindness, so... can I redeem myself for three times, no, ten times the price?"
A glint flashed in Lin Anyuan's eyes as he yawned.
"I can't hear what you said, the contract of servitude... it's right here with me."
Ye Wan thought he had agreed and hurried over, but as soon as she got there, she tripped over Lin Anyuan's leg and fell forward.
By sheer coincidence, the person sitting down was pinned down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the hand was pressed against the person's exposed chest...
What an awkward pose!
Just then, the person beneath her spoke up leisurely, "I knew you were lusting after my body, you filthy woman."
"Me, filthy?!"
Ye Wan was furious. She plopped down on Lin Anyuan's waist, looking down at him, and decided to make things clear.
"Lin Anyuan, to tell you the truth, I don't intend to stay and be the stepmother of your three girls. However, I'm not an ungrateful person. I can help you raise Sanya to be strong before I leave, and I can also return three times the money you spent on me. Before that, let's make a three-point agreement, shall we?"
Lin Anyuan bought her home precisely to make Sanya strong and healthy, didn't he?
She has no milk, so she'll use the spiritual spring water. She guarantees that in just a few days, Sanya will be as strong as a calf, and then she can leave.
She'll try to be polite first, then resort to force. If you don't agree, don't blame her for being impolite.
Lin Anyuan felt a soft weight pressing against his waist. His eyes flickered, and he raised an eyebrow at Ye Wan on top of him. "In broad daylight, how long do you plan to sit on me? Even if you're in a hurry, you should wait until tonight. Sanya is watching at the door."
Ye Wan turned her head and saw Sanya at the door staring at the two of them with wide eyes.
His face flushed red, and he hurriedly got off Lin Anyuan, pressing a hand on Lin's slightly exposed chest in his haste.
"Mom, are you giving birth to my little brother?"
Ye Wan almost spat out a mouthful of blood after hearing San Ya's words.
"Sanya, I'm picking lice off your dad!"
As she spoke, she turned around and glared at Lin Anyuan, urging him to explain quickly!
The latter slowly and deliberately put on his patched clothes, without offering any explanation.
Ye Wan frowned. "Lin Anyuan, what do you think of my suggestion just now?"
Lin Anyuan gave an "oh" and got up and walked out without even glancing at Ye Wan.
What does it mean to say yes or no?
Before she could ask any questions, Lin Anyuan had already left the courtyard.
Lin Anyuan did not return even after dark.
Ye Wan didn't get an answer, and absentmindedly ate dinner with the three girls in the yard.
Tonight's dinner was finally not wild vegetable porridge, but brown rice porridge, which was still hard to swallow.
Ye Wan poked and poked in the bowl, thinking to herself, "Life is really tough!"
She was a pampered young lady who had never suffered like this, even when the apocalypse broke out.
"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Do you think you're some rich young lady who thinks you're someone important?"
At the dinner table, Er Ya made sarcastic remarks to her, and Da Ya quietly stopped her, looking at Ye Wan with a slightly complicated expression.
Sanya wanted to call her mother, but Erya glared at her and she looked at Ye Wan with pleading eyes.
Ye Wan was in a bad mood and didn't want to bother with Er Ya, that dark-skinned girl. She ate her meal and went back to her room early.
It was late at night, and Lin Anyuan still hadn't returned. Ye Wan thought it best if he didn't come back tonight either.
Although this man is spineless and might not be able to do anything to her, she still felt quite uncomfortable lying on the same bed with a strange man.
Ye Wan tossed and turned on the kang (a heated brick bed). If Lin Anyuan really wouldn't give her a contract of indenture, then...
...
...
"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"
In the dead of night, a scream came from a low-lying house in Yejia Village.
"That wretched hussy, she must have a death wish to hit you! I'll skin her alive when I get back, Yaozu, my darling! Let me blow on it and it won't hurt anymore!" Old Mrs. Qian held the medicine and applied it while lovingly blowing on her son.
Ye Yaozu injured his arm and was in so much pain that he grimaced and pushed away the old woman who was applying medicine.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Mother, Xianglan sent someone to ask us today when we'll be able to raise enough betrothal gifts, otherwise her father will marry her off to someone else! You have to think of something!"
He sold his two older sisters and only managed to scrape together ten taels of silver. He was still ten taels short of the betrothal gifts, and he wouldn't have enough money for the wedding banquet. He had promised Xianglan that he would never wrong her.
"It's all that money-losing brat's fault!" Old Mrs. Qian gritted her teeth in anger.
Originally, I thought that selling that money-losing girl Ye Wan would be more than enough, but who knew that the slut would try to kill herself, so she was sold off cheaply.
Xianglan is a little vixen who has Yaozu completely bewitched. She asked for a dowry of twenty taels of silver right off the bat. Why don't you just rob her? Once she's married into the Ye family and pregnant, let's see how she torments this slut.
Old Mrs. Qian thought for a moment, then lowered her voice, "I'll do whatever it takes to send that worthless woman to Zhang Fu's house tomorrow, even if it means losing my body..."
"Ah! A ghost!"
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Yaozu suddenly cried out in terror.
Outside the window, a human head was hanging upside down, with long hair hanging loose, making it impossible to see the face clearly.
"Ghost, ghost?"
Old Mrs. Qian turned her head and was so frightened that her eyes widened.
Just then, the "ghost" spoke, its crimson mouth opening and closing.
"Didn't I tell you that you and your son should sleep with one eye open? You dare to come to my house and beat people up? Are you tired of living?"
Old Mrs. Qian felt a heat in her crotch, her eyelids rolled back, and she fainted.
By the light of the moon outside the window, Ye Yaozu, whose legs were trembling with fear, finally saw what the "ghost" looked like.
"Lin... Lin Anyuan!"
