Chapter 70 My Wife is Quietly Jealous
Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "That's right, my husband is not only smart, but also very loyal."
When speaking, Lin Xi emphasized the word "dedicated", and Xiao Yongyan nodded in cooperation.
Yuan Chuncao was almost mad at the couple. It was bad enough that the man had no interest at all, but why didn't the woman cry or make a fuss, and even showed her affection to her?
How could she know that her level was too low. Lin Xi saw through it at a glance and knew that nothing could possibly happen between Xiao Yongyan and her.
"Boss Yuan, I've said a lot today. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time." Lin Xi said with a smile.
Yuan Herong's face was filled with joy. "I didn't expect Boss Lin to know so much. Don't worry, I will definitely renovate the rabbit house according to your requirements."
After hearing what Yuan Herong said, Lin Xi felt relieved and left the Yuan family with Xiao Yongyan.
After watching Lin Xi and others leave, the smile on Yuan Herong's face disappeared, and he looked back at Yuan Chuncao coldly.
Yuan Chuncao trembled in his heart when he was looked at coldly by Yuan Herong. His second uncle was very powerful. Although he smiled all the time, he would dare to teach anyone a lesson when things got lively.
"Second Uncle..." Yuan Chuncao called timidly.
Anger appeared on Yuan Herong's face. "You still know that I am your second uncle, but do you know how important this business deal is to me?"
Yuan Chuncao was completely afraid to speak. As the saying goes, cutting off a person's financial resources is like killing his parents. The person she cut off was not someone else, but her own second uncle.
"Pepe, go and invite the eldest brother over." Yuan Herong said.
Yuan Peipei hurried out to look for someone. Yuan Chuncao felt a chill in her heart, thinking that her second uncle might use family rules to punish her.
"Uncle, isn't it enough for me to admit my mistakes? You just think that I am blinded by greed and can't let go of my worries." Yuan Chuncao said, tears began to fall. "But please think about me too. I am a widow with a child. If I don't plan for myself, how can I live in the future?"
Although Yuan Chuncao was crying while speaking, Yuan Herong didn't buy it at all.
When the eldest brother of the Yuan family came over, he saw this scene: his daughter was lying on the ground crying and almost dying, and his second brother was sitting on a chair with an unusually serious expression on his face.
On the way, the eldest brother of the Yuan family had heard what had happened from Yuan Peipei, but he still did not quite believe it. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he became furious.
When Yuan Chuncao saw his father coming, he thought things would turn around and called out "Dad".
It would be fine if he didn't shout, but once he did, the eldest brother of the Yuan family got even angrier and shouted, "Yuan Chuncao, are you crazy? Why are you going crazy in broad daylight?"
"I'm crazy, Dad. I just want to find a way out for myself." Yuan Chuncao cried.
"Way out? Isn't that Xiao already married? What way out do you have?" the eldest brother of the Yuan family shouted.
"So what if I have a wife? Don't rich people take concubines?" Yuan Chuncao cried even harder. "I know I'm not a virgin anymore, but can't I be a concubine?"
The so-called concubines were actually slaves who could be bought and sold at will.
Although their place is poor, any family that sends their daughter to be a concubine will be criticized by the villagers behind their backs and accused of having no conscience.
But now Yuan Chuncao actually wanted to be a concubine. The eldest brother of the Yuan family could no longer listen to her and slapped Yuan Chuncao in the face.
"I think you have lost all your dignity! Do you want to ruin the reputation of our Yuan family?"
Yuan Chuncao was completely stunned by the slap from her father.
The eldest brother of the Yuan family was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he started looking for something to hit people with. He grabbed a broom and hit Yuan Chuncao with it.
After all, the eldest brother of the Yuan family is also a farmer and is very strong. Yuan Chuncao is in such a state that she will definitely not be able to withstand his anger.
Yuan Peipei was horrified and quickly protected Yuan Chuncao, saying, "Uncle, calm down. You're going to beat my sister to death!"
Yuan Herong also spoke at the right time, "Brother, I asked you to come here to discuss something. What Chuncao said is not completely unreasonable. It is indeed not easy for a woman like her to take care of a child. I know that a family in the next village has lost their daughter-in-law and they want to find a new one. It would be perfect for Chuncao to go."
"What does that family do?" asked the eldest brother of the Yuan family.
"Hunters live in the mountains and have an acre of land, so they won't starve to death. But their conditions are not good, so they can only offer one or two taels of silver at most," said Yuan Herong.
The eldest brother of the Yuan family thought about it and said, "Okay."
Yuan Chuncao didn't expect Yuan Herong to sell him out like this. He said angrily, "Second Uncle, you watched me grow up since I was a child, and you had the heart to send me to the mountains!"
Yuan Herong didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. "Although he is a hunter, he is honest and a good person. No matter what, he has a reputation, which is better than doing whatever you want."
Yuan Chuncao felt cold in her heart. She just wanted to find a way out for herself. What was wrong with that?
…
After returning home, the scene she saw at Yuan's house today kept appearing in her mind.
I clearly told myself to trust Xiao Yongyan and that nothing would happen between him and Yuan Chuncao, but I always felt uncomfortable.
Although Yuan Chuncao is average looking and has an average figure, and her skin is dark due to being exposed to the sun all year round without any awareness of sun protection, she has given birth and is quite plump. Isn't it said that all men like this?
Lin Xi's little head was full of random thoughts, while Xiao Yongyan stood silently by the side.
From the moment he entered the room, he noticed that Lin Xi was in a very bad state. She was in a particularly bad mood and even seemed to have eaten a few bites less of dinner.
"Xi'er," Xiao Yongyan tried to call out, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."
Lin Xi finally came back to his senses, nodded woodenly, and went to wash up.
Even when she was lying in bed, Lin Xi couldn't stop thinking about what had happened between Xiao Yongyan and Yuan Chuncao during the time she was away.
Xiao Yongyan had been observing Lin Xi's every move; even a slight frown on her face would not escape his eyes.
"Xier, do you have anything to ask me?" Xiao Yongyan asked.
Lin Xi turned over, with his back to Xiao Yongyan, and said in a muffled voice, "No."
"Then I have something to say to Xi'er." Xiao Yongyan said as he turned Lin Xi over, "Today during the day..."
On the surface, Lin Xi didn't even look at Xiao Yongyan, but her ears were perked up, afraid to miss every word Xiao Yongyan said.
"After you went to see the rabbits, Yuan Chuncao and I were in the main room. She brought me a bowl of hot tea, and when she came to me, she accidentally knocked it over, and the tea spilled on me, so she offered to help me dry my clothes."
Lin Xi's eyes widened. She knew that Yuan Chuncao was a restless person. "She did it on purpose!"
Xiao Yongyan heard the anger in Lin Xi's words, curled his lips, and continued speaking.
"Of course I refused, but she seemed unhappy and for some reason she ruffled her hair and pulled at her clothes."
