Chapter 142 The Sickly Villain in a Female-dominated World 13
At noon, the scorching sun was burning the earth like a huge fireball. The golden sunlight poured all over the ground. The leaves on the roadside were curled up. Dust was flying on the official road outside the city. The horses pulling the carts snorted.
Lin Yong opened the car curtain, and the strong sunlight outside the curtain made her unable to open her eyes.
"Bi Niang, how long will it take us to reach Shiyuan Village?"
After such a long bumpy ride on the road, she couldn't help but resent her aunt for not moving the family to the county town.
"My lady, it should be here soon. Would you like to have some fruit first?"
"No, it's so hot, I can't eat." Lin Yong curled his lips and looked at the wild scenery on the roadside curiously.
She was originally an ordinary high school student in the 22nd century. Her biggest worries every day were homework and exams. Unexpectedly, when she stayed up late to read a novel, she accidentally traveled to such a magical world where genders were reversed.
For her, who has lived in the city since childhood, everything here is so new.
Especially since polyandry is legal here. Thinking of this, her heart, which had been suppressed due to the prohibition of premature love, could not help but start to stir.
She just went into a brothel and made friends with a top prostitute, but who would have known that her mother would be so furious that she wanted to banish her back to her hometown in this remote countryside.
Alas, the ancients were so conservative.
Lin Yong propped up her head and looked out the window in distress. Suddenly, she was so shocked by the scene passing by that she sat up straight.
Those working in the fields under the scorching sun are actually women!
"Bi Niang," she murmured in shock, "Why are all the farmers women?"
Bi Niang sighed. The lady had forgotten a lot of old things since she fell into the water last year. Fortunately, she remembered some of them bit by bit later, and it did not affect her daily life.
But sometimes the lady will have some strange perceptions in her mind, just like now.
"My lady, farming and serving are the responsibilities of us girls. Are we going to let the frail young men do it?"
Lin Yong smiled awkwardly. Aren't the women-dominated worlds in those novels always about husbands holding women in their hands, and women only need to be responsible for dressing themselves up and balancing the relationships with their husbands? Why is this world so different?
After another half day of bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the Lin Mansion under the crimson sunset.
The Lin residence was in chaos at this time.
Mrs. Lin held his handkerchief and stared intently at the doctor who was taking the patient's pulse, trying to read some information from his expression.
"Your pulse is weak, your complexion is sallow, you are sweating, your limbs are cold, your breath is short, and your tongue is dark purple. This is a symptom of loss of yin and yang, leading to qi deficiency and impending collapse." The doctor quickly made a diagnosis, "You need to replenish qi and consolidate collapse, and replenish yin and restore yang."
"It's already this late, there's no need to say these obscure words." Lin Hanxin was confused by this long string of words, and stood up and said anxiously: "Doctor, what happened to my Qing'er, how can I treat her?"
Chen Xi was also looking at Lin Qing's expression anxiously.
"The lady of your mansion is fine. She just saw the sun too much at noon, and the heat entered her body, causing her to feel dizzy and palpitate. She just needs to take some ginseng and aconite soup and rest more in a cool place."
"It's just that the heat is very intense these days, so my lady should not overwork herself." The doctor wrote down the prescription and asked the medicine boy to go to her pharmacy to get the medicine while making her final remarks.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief. The husband was about to say something when he heard a maid come and report that Yan Yongjun and her group had arrived at the main hall and were waiting for the couple.
She had no choice but to let Chen Xi look after the overall situation in the West Courtyard, while she and her wife hurried to the main hall with a group of attendants.
When Lin Qing woke up, it was already the next day. The morning light was dim, and the hazy light shone through the window lattice onto the figure lying beside the bed. She was stunned. Why was Xilang here?
As if awakened by her movements, Chen Xi raised his bloodshot eyes filled with surprise.
"My dear wife, how are you now? Are you still dizzy? Are you thirsty?"
The servant waiting outside the bed curtain heard the noise inside and quickly sent someone to the front yard to report the good news. There was movement in the yard one after another.
When the househusband arrived, Lin Qing was taking medicine obediently with the help of her husband. The househusband raised his eyebrows, as he found that his daughter seemed to have a special tolerance for Yu Xilang.
Lin Qing thought to himself: This person was harmed so badly by the original owner in his previous life. Although it was not his fault, I don't know why I always feel guilty.
The thought went through his mind, but the master remained calm: "You, kid, have been too busy these days, busy every day remodeling that useless rice threshing box. If you get hurt, I won't allow it."
As he said this, he looked at Chen Xi who was standing obediently beside him and said, "Xilang, you too, as a husband you should take good care of your wife's food, clothing and daily life. But you plunged into the sea of books and didn't care about her life or death."
"Starting tomorrow, you don't have to go to school. You have to learn to take care of Qing'er's yard. As a husband, it is your duty to take care of the inner courtyard. If Qing'er does something wrong, you have to stop her immediately. If this kind of thing happens again, I will hold you responsible."
His tone became more severe.
Chen Xi was so scared that his face turned purple. He responded obediently, but in his heart he was secretly blaming himself for not being attentive to his wife and not taking good care of her.
I have never heard of any young man who doesn't care about anything after getting married and lives a more comfortable life than before getting married.
"Father, you scared him." Lin Qing half-supported her body, and it seemed as if a stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe. She didn't expect that her body was in such a bad condition. She had been recuperating like the other boys before, but she collapsed after being exposed to the sun for a while at noon.
Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Mr. Lin snorted in his heart, and finally found the girl's weakness.
"Although what father said was a bit harsh, it is reasonable. You are husband and wife, and you are one. Your health is getting better, and Xilang does not need to live in the side room. I will move in with you today."
As he said this, he asked the nanny to take out the account books and warehouse keys of the West Courtyard, and then personally handed them to Chen Xi.
"Xilang, my daughter has always been willful. As her husband, you must be more attentive. From now on, I will hand her over to you."
"I don't ask for you to be rich and powerful, or to have many children, but I only hope that you two can be of one mind and live happily ever after."
Looking at the slightly red eyes of the househusband, Chen Xi felt as if the item in his hand weighed a thousand pounds, and his heart was burning.
His eyes were filled with sincerity: "Father, I will take good care of my wife in the future!"
Looking at the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" duo who formed a united front, Lin Qing stared at the top of the tent and sighed. It was obvious that her days in the future would not be easy.
At this moment, a strange girl with double buns came in through a curtain. She bowed to everyone first, and then Daoyong heard that her cousin had woken up and came to visit her. She was waiting at the door now.
Upon hearing this, the housewife immediately asked someone to come in.
