Li Lan was stunned after following the old bachelor Qin Jian back to his shabby house.
She had thought that this man was poor, but she had never expected that he was so poor! The stone house was only about one person tall, and she had to bend down to enter the house even though she was over 1.6 meters tall.
The house had only one small window, the size of a bamboo basket, with oil paper pasted on the window. It was unknown how many years the oil paper had been there and it was already tattered, swaying left and right in the mountain wind.
The room was pitch black. There was a low table that someone must have discarded. One of its four legs was broken. The man was a talented person, so he cut a branch to prop it up.
It looks shaky, as if it will collapse at any moment.
Next to the table stood three straw stools that looked like they were newly woven. They were the only decent "furniture" in the room.
Qin Jian pointed at the grass mound and said to her, "Sit down, take a rest, I'll go feed the cows. There's wine and meat, let's have a good meal tonight."
After saying that, he went out with his big yellow teeth bared.
The cowshed is not far from the stone house. Even when sitting in the house, you can smell the stench of cow dung coming from the cowshed.
Qin Jian picked up some hay and threw it into the cowshed. Without even washing his hands, he went into the house to get some food, but was stopped by Li Lan.
"I'll do it, I'll do it, you wash your hands and take a rest."
Qin Jian didn't seem to understand what Li Lan meant. He sat there looking at Li Lan with a smile, with no intention of washing his hands at all.
"You are so pretty! You would look even better if you were a little fatter! I am sorry that you have to follow me. My conditions are indeed a little poor, but things will get better with a mistress in the future."
Nice legs of your grandma!
Li Lan couldn't help but curse in her heart.
Given your family's financial situation, apart from the cow which is worth some money, you don't have anything valuable.
Even if the seven fairies came down to earth, they couldn't help. How can you count on me? You're dreaming!
I really don’t understand how a reborn person like me could end up like this?
I really shouldn't have killed Zhang Pengfei in such a rage. If he hadn't died, I would have been able to find another husband even if I divorced him, and I wouldn't have ended up like this.
Thinking of Zhang Pengfei, she couldn't help but shudder.
He won't divorce me, he will just beat me to death! Damn it, if I had known that marrying him was a trap, I would rather die in a military compound than go with him!
However, it was too late to say anything now. She could only pin her hopes on this man, hoping that he would die soon so that she would have a place to stay.
Although this house is shabby, it can shelter me from the wind and rain. I can find a younger one to live without him.
I believe no one will find this place in this deep forest.
The aroma of roast chicken spread, and she was immediately attracted by the food, competing with the old bachelor for the food.
But she didn't dare drink, for fear that this man would take advantage of her drunkenness and do something.
Although she was also a broken person, she didn't want to have any relationship with such a disgusting person.
Fortunately, the old bachelor Qin Jian did not make things difficult for her. He even gave her his only bed and brought some straw to spread on the ground to make do for the night.
Before going to bed, Li Lan asked him for a basin of hot water and asked him to wait outside. She washed her body carefully in the room, changed into clean clothes and then lay down to rest.
She slept very soundly.
