"Don't be afraid, you only killed bad people, people who deserved their fate."
Besides, if you don't kill them, they'll kill you; you're just trying to protect yourself.
Wei Yuyan certainly wouldn't dislike Wu Chen just because his hands were stained with blood.
There are so many people going to the battlefield to kill enemies. As long as they are killing bad people, Wei Yuyan doesn't see anything wrong with it.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chen hugged Wei Yuyan even tighter.
That night, Wei Yuyan slept soundly without any dreams, and she never expected that her relationship with Wu Chen would develop so quickly.
If it weren't for the cold wind, they probably wouldn't have finished so quickly; they might have had to wait another month or two.
When Wei Yuyan woke up in the morning, the bed next to her was already cold, but she didn't get up to check on it.
She knew that Wu Chen must have left a while ago. Wei Yuyan closed her eyes, tears gently sliding down her face.
"Sister-in-law..."
When Wei Yuyan got up, her sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived, looking at her with some sympathy, probably knowing that Wu Chen had left.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua is here, let's have breakfast together."
Wei Yuyan masked her sadness with a smile. Wu Chen had made breakfast; they had steamed large white buns, presumably to take some with them for the journey.
She also cooked some white porridge, which was especially comforting to eat with pickled vegetables. However, Wei Yuyan found it tasted like cardboard and couldn't finish even half a steamed bun.
"I heard from Lifu last night that Wu Chen left today. I didn't sleep well last night."
"What exactly is he doing? Ju Lifu said it's quite dangerous, which is really worrying."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua didn't know exactly what Wu Chen was doing outside, only that his business was quite dangerous, otherwise he wouldn't have come back limping last time.
“It’s alright, Sister-in-law Xiuhua. He had no choice. He promised me he would come back safely so that we could have a better life.”
Wei Yuyan said this to Sister-in-law Xiuhua, but also to herself.
"If anything happens, you must let me know. Before Wu Chen left, he told your brother Li Fu that if there's any heavy work, my wife can do it."
Of course, even if Wu Chen didn't ask, Brother Lifu would still help without hesitation.
"Okay, there's nothing much going on right now, but we need to start composting and seedling cultivation next month."
Wei Yuyan plans to compost more fertilizer this year to increase yield.
After Sister-in-law Xiuhua left, Wei Yuyan cleaned the house and suddenly remembered something.
Wei Yuyan ran upstairs quickly, opened the wardrobe, and breathed a sigh of relief.
The clothes she had rushed to make yesterday were taken away by Wu Chen, which finally brought Wei Yuyan some comfort.
Ten days later ~ the Sun family in town ~
Liu Cuifang acted submissively, which pleased Sun Wei, and he stopped scolding her. The two continued to live a peaceful life.
That day, Sun Wei went to the clinic. Liu Cuifang closed the door and sneaked into Sun's mother and father's room.
Her goal was to find the savings of Mr. and Mrs. Sun. The couple had worked outside for so long that they must have accumulated at least several dozen taels of silver.
Mr. Sun would sometimes give her a little money for spending money, but Mrs. Sun had never given her a single penny since she married into the family.
After rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Liu Cuifang found nothing of value and carefully put the items away.
At this moment, Liu Cuifang noticed a painting on the wall and, as if possessed, moved it slightly. To her surprise, it actually moved.
Lifting the painting revealed a hidden world inside: a square hole with a box inside.
Liu Cuifang excitedly took it out and looked at it, only to find that there was a lock on the box.
"That damn old woman, she even locked it up."
Looking at the box, Liu Cuifang knew it must contain something valuable, otherwise it wouldn't be locked.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Cuifang took the box, put it in the vegetable basket, and covered it with a cloth.
"Master, I've lost the key to this lock, can you help me open it?"
Instead of looking for a blacksmith nearby, Liu Cuifang found a blacksmith in a more remote area in the west of the city.
"If you open it, it will cost ten coins."
The blacksmith looked at the lock and knew he had a way to open it.
"No problem, but you absolutely must not damage this lock. My husband has the key, but he's out of town. When he comes home, the lock will still work."
As Liu Cuifang paid, she stated her requirements.
"OK".
The blacksmith turned around, found a piece of wire, and turned it around inside the lock cylinder. In no time, he opened it.
However, he didn't let Liu Cuifang see any of this, as it was his family's secret recipe.
"That's great, thank you."
Seeing that the lock was open, Liu Cuifang did not open the box in front of her master, but instead put the box back into the basket and closed it.
He hurried home, eager to find out what good stuff was inside.
Liu Cuifang ran home again, closed the door, put it down, lifted the cloth, took out the black box, and slowly opened it.
Upon seeing what was inside, Liu Cuifang couldn't help but grin.
There are not only two jade bracelets here, but also silver notes and land deeds.
The Sun family bought the land before, but now they rent it out to others and collect rent once a year.
The silver notes weren't much, only twenty taels. Liu Cuifang felt that the Sun family had far more than that.
There are bracelets in here, which are probably part of Sun's mother's personal belongings. Their belongings were probably kept separately.
Thinking of this, Liu Cuifang started rummaging through drawers and cabinets again, but she still couldn't find any clues.
Liu Cuifang wiped her sweat, thought, "Well, I'll take what I can get." She put away the bracelet, the silver notes, and the land deed.
The box was now empty, and Liu Cuifang hoped they wouldn't discover it so soon.
After thinking for a moment, I found two stones and threw them in, so that I wouldn't know it was empty unless I opened it.
Having obtained these things was not enough for Liu Cuifang; she had another matter to attend to: taking revenge on Sun Wei.
"Here are all three hundred coins for you. They're for beating Sun Wei of the Miraculous Hands Medical Clinic."
After you're done, remember to tell him not to think about that girl from Qinghua Lane. Hit her hard, but don't cripple her.
Liu Cuifang immediately used the three hundred coins she had barely touched to hire two thugs to beat up Sun Wei.
Sun Wei went to his lover's house that day, which was in Qinghua Lane. Liu Cuifang deliberately used this diversionary tactic so that no one would suspect her.
After arranging these things, Liu Cuifang prepared to pack her things and go back to her parents' home. She never wanted to come back to this home again.
Sun Wei is no good, and his mother is even worse. Now that he has money, he'll go home and live a life of luxury with his parents.
"Daughter? What happened this time? Did she quarrel with Sun Wei?"
When the village chief's wife saw her daughter return carrying a bundle, she was so startled that she almost dropped the bowl in her hand.
"It's not an argument, it's a divorce."
Liu Cuifang put her luggage on the bed.
"It's good that we're not arguing. What? Divorce?"
The village chief's wife thought she had misheard.
