Su Nanxi broke free from his hand and grabbed a pillow, hitting him hard on the head and face.
You big idiot!
At such a young age, you're not learning anything good, and you're thinking about all sorts of things!
Do you understand the concept of self-cultivation and moral character?
Mo Qinghe was stunned by the beating. He only wanted to scare his wife, but he ended up getting a beating instead.
He covered his head, dodging around like a groundhog that had been hit. "Wife, stop hitting me! I just wanted to scare you, I didn't mean anything by it, really, I didn't mean anything to you. Besides, what can I do now?"
Oh! You can't do it now, but you can later, right?
He was hit even harder, and Mo Qinghe realized he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly tried to make amends, "Wife, even if I'm all better, I won't do anything to you, I swear to God, really! As long as you don't want to, I won't force you, I won't wrong you! You have to believe me!"
The pillow finally stopped.
Mo Qinghe held his head in his hands, secretly looking up. Seeing Su Nanxi raise an eyebrow, he quickly said, "Really! Wife, the book says that only when two people are in love can they enjoy that heavenly happiness. I, I also want my wife to be truly willing."
The voice grew softer and softer.
Ha! Young lad, at the age when love is just beginning to blossom, he'll meet many beautiful women later and won't like ugly wives anymore!
"No! My wife isn't ugly; in my eyes, she's the most beautiful!"
Smooth talker!
"I'm telling the truth! Honey, you're doubting me again! I'm such a terrible person, but you haven't complained about me, have you? Why would I complain about you?"
This is not a reason for you to like an ugly wife!
"My wife is ugly and I'm lame, but we're a perfect match! Besides, I don't think my wife is ugly at all. She loves and cares for me so much, and that's the kind of feeling I have for her!"
You're so naive! If a beautiful woman comes along and treats you well, you'll probably forget you're already married!
“My wife doesn’t believe me again! I’ve had a leg injury for years, and no beautiful women have ever been nice to me. If I were fully recovered, then beautiful women would come to fawn over me. But those women are just after my good looks.”
I was only attracted to your good looks!
"It's my honor as a husband that my wife likes it!"
Look at that, so glib and smooth-talking!
"Does my wife like to hear this? I'm only saying this to you!"
This guy must have secretly learned some flirting skills!
Su Nanxi had no idea that her unintentional actions would cultivate her husband into someone who was secretly very good at flirting with her.
Fearing things might get out of control one day, Su Nanxi decided to resolve the matter ahead of time and made an agreement with Mo Qinghe to consummate their marriage three years later.
The main reason is that they are still too young, their bodies are not fully developed, and having sex too early is bad for their health. Another reason is that if they get pregnant, it will be a big problem with significant risks.
She didn't know exactly how old the original owner was, but she estimated she was around fifteen, at most still not an adult! Childbirth underage was common in ancient times, but she couldn't get over that mental hurdle!
In ancient times, with limited medical care, how many women died from complications during childbirth? Alas! Their pelvises weren't fully developed yet; the risks were immense!
Mo Qinghe pondered for a long time before cautiously asking, "Wife, will you abandon me in three years?"
Uh! He's good to her, he definitely won't abandon her!
He asked pitifully, "Wife, will you want me?"
If you haven't committed any of the seven grounds for divorce, then you definitely should!
Mo Qinghe finally smiled, "Then my wife can only be me!"
How many cheap husbands could she possibly want?
Mo Qinghe smiled and pulled Su Nanxi over, embracing her as they slept together. "Okay, then we'll consummate our marriage in three years. My wife can only have me."
Su Nanxi chuckled. Let him say what he wants; she'd achieved her goal anyway.
The next day, Su Nanxi said she was going to town. Grandma Mo, after breakfast, wanted to go with her, but then remembered that her eldest daughter-in-law was going back to her parents' home and she needed to prepare some things for her to take back. She asked Su Nanxi if she could go by herself.
After Old Mo perfected the stove, he tried to install the pot on it. If it fit, he would need to season the pot, so he didn't have time.
It's fine to go alone!
Su Nanxi promised Mo Qinghe that she would be back soon and would not wander around aimlessly. Mo Qinghe, after being persuaded, finally agreed, "Just this once."
Mo Qinghe felt a little irritated. He really wanted to go shopping with his wife, but he couldn't leave!
Seeing that Mo Qinghe had agreed, Old Mrs. Mo was relieved.
Su Nanxi wanted to see how the waterwheel was coming along, and also wanted to find Chen Liang.
The carpenter apologized and told her that it would take a little more time to finish the work.
Then let's wait a little longer; a day or two won't make a difference.
Upon arriving at the refreshing dessert shop, Su Nanxi ordered a bowl of herbal jelly.
Chen Liang spotted Su Nanxi and quickly came over.
There weren't many customers yet. Chen Liang wiped his apron with a happy expression.
“Girl, I guessed you would come out today. Wait for me a moment, I’ll go to the yamen with you in a bit.”
Su Nanxi, holding the spoon, was stunned. What had she done to deserve a trip to the yamen?
Seeing Su Nanxi's surprised and puzzled expression, Chen Liang realized that he hadn't explained himself clearly and quickly tried to make amends, "Miss, it's like this, the clerk at the yamen and I are on good terms. I asked him to be a witness, and he agreed. We'll take the contract to the yamen to find him in a bit."
Oh! So that's what happened!
It almost scared her to death; she thought she had unknowingly committed a crime!
After finishing the grass jelly, Su Nanxi followed Chen Liang to the yamen.
The government office was quite simple and dilapidated. The location wasn't remote, but the mottled walls really surprised her. It must have been extremely poor.
Indeed, in this remote border region, not only are the common people poor, but the government offices are also very poor. I heard that they haven't paid their monthly salaries for three months and are almost on the verge of collapse. Everyone is trying to make some money to eat some meat.
When Chen Liang brought Su Nanxi there, Master Chen was having a headache over civil matters, but he had to do what he had promised, no matter how annoyed he was.
Curious, the yamen runners also came over.
In front of many witnesses, Su Nanxi and Chen Liang signed the contract in triplicate, with each party holding one copy.
When Master Chen read the contract, his eyes lit up. What kind of contract was this? It was incredibly novel and detailed!
He pulled Chen Liang aside and said, "Tell me honestly, where did you get this thing? You signed with a girl? You've got some nerve! Aren't you afraid of being scammed?"
Chen Liang pulled back his sleeve. "How can you talk like that? I've encountered a turning point in my life, haven't I told you? The fortune teller said that I'm having a bad year, committing a major taboo, and my life is in danger. Only with the help of a benefactor can I turn things around."
Master Chen glanced furtively at Su Nanxi beside him, "How can you be so sure that's your benefactor? What if he's here to take your life!"
Chen Liang exuded an inexplicable confidence: "There's no mistake, she saved me, she rescued me. Hey! You wouldn't understand, if it weren't for her, what you'd be seeing now would be a ghost!"
Master Chen's mouth twitched. Seeing Chen Liang's expression, he knew better than to say anything more, as saying more would only backfire.
Chen Liang retorted, "Why do you always have such a sour face? What's troubling you?"
Speaking of this, Master Chen became irritated. "What else could it be? It's all about the water!"
