Chapter 6 My Wife Plans to Poison Us
Pei Xiaoxing glanced at Ling Rui with a hint of warning.
Sheng Ran's idea was indeed surprising.
But at least she has this intention, which is better than before.
"Don't worry, my wife," Pei Xiaoxing said in a gentle and reassuring voice, "We all have some savings, and the monthly payment will be sent on time from the central city. It's just that the journey is long, so there will be occasional delays."
She was a noble female, and even if she treated them harshly, she didn't need to worry about such things.
A broad, warm hand landed on her head, and Sheng Ran froze for a moment.
She bit off a piece of meat silently, but did not dare to agree.
"That won't do. Once we've settled our differences, I'll dissolve our marriage. I have to find a way to support myself."
She estimated that the points converted from the blackening value would be enough to repair her current disability.
As for those empty love points, she might as well not earn them.
Only in the past few days did she truly realize that the original owner's methods of humiliating people were extremely unscrupulous. She didn't expect those beastly husbands to fall in love with her after suffering all this.
She no longer pursues appearance, money, or a return to her original world. As long as she has a healthy body, she will be content.
She will try her best to complete the strategy mission and prevent them from turning evil.
One is to make up for the original mistakes, and the other is to use the points to cure blindness and muteness.
Once her blackening value is cleared, she will definitely stay away from the central city and these beastly husbands.
Therefore, she needs to master more skills to make a living, which will be useful in the future.
Pei Xiaoxing frowned slightly. Did he hear it wrong?
What just flashed through my mind was also her inner voice?
Didn't she say before that even if they died, they should die by her side?
How could you be willing to let them go?
He withdrew his hand, looked at Sheng Ran deeply, and was speechless for a long time.
Ling Rui raised his eyebrows exaggeratedly, probably because he had heard the same information.
He was impatient and looked at Sheng Ran hesitantly, wishing he could get the answer right away.
Could it be that the sun rises from the west?
This evil woman set him free and planned to dissolve the marriage. Is she still her?
She couldn't be nice to them for nothing.
Perhaps this seemingly well-intentioned move hides some worse intentions.
For example, trying to gain some other benefits from them.
This reason was more credible. The more Ling Rui thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. His confused and dizzy mind finally calmed down.
Maybe Xinyu has been using some magic these days, doing it on purpose to lower their guard!
Ling Rui shook his head, forcing himself to be sober and not be fooled by such a cheap show of goodwill.
The next second, a plate full of meat suddenly came into view.
Sheng Ran pushed her portion in front of him. She barely ate any of it and gave it all to him.
Ling Rui was stunned, and the train of thought that he had just sorted out seemed to be interrupted again.
Pei Xiaoxing stopped his polite movements and asked, "Why doesn't my wife eat?"
Sheng Ran just smiled and pushed the plate between the two of them to avoid favoring one over the other.
That look seemed to say—
Eat, eat more.
Then he went back to his room.
It took a long time for Pei Xiaoxing to finally come back to his senses.
The Zhangwei tribe where they live is located in the Han Mountains, where the land is barren and poor. At higher altitudes, there is snow all year round.
Therefore, there are few crops and wild animals, and even the most common food has become a rare resource.
The male beasts need to go out hunting and take care of various matters at home, which consumes a lot of energy, but they are given very little at each meal.
This is the way the world is, and Pei Xiaoxing has no complaints.
But he never thought that one day his wife would be willing to save her food for him.
"It seems my wife truly loves us," he concluded. "She wasn't willing to share even a grain of food with us before, but now she's so caring towards us."
Ling Rui hesitated: "Don't you think he's pretending? How can someone change so drastically overnight?"
"Judging by her actions, not her heart, you've seen her behavior over the past few days. Besides, we can read her mind. My wife isn't plotting anything."
"What if this is a sorcery she's acquired through evil cultivation, deliberately manipulating our consciousness to create the appearance of a reformed person?"
"You forgot that the wife doesn't even have a beast form. She is a useless female with low energy level."
Pei Xiao was an upright person and didn't like to talk too much about his wife behind her back. He frowned and ended the conversation.
"At least now we can live in peace with her, and that will be fulfilling our duties as a beast husband."
"Tomorrow we need to catch more prey to improve our family's food supply. You and I will go into the mountains together."
Ling Rui had been detained for more than half a month. Now that he was released for the first time, he was of course willing to go out.
He agreed without hesitation, devoured the remaining meat on the plate in no time, and couldn't help but fight in the yard.
I truly felt the taste of regaining my freedom, and I felt elated. Inexplicably, I thought of Sheng Ran's quiet smile when she handed me the meat.
A sense of luck grew in Ling Rui's heart.
Perhaps Sheng Ran untied the chains not for any other reason but simply to allow one more person in the family to go out hunting.
If it was just for this purpose, it wouldn't be as bad as he imagined.
Acceptable.
"Is there really a chance to dissolve the engagement?"
With this fantasy in mind, Ling Rui lay on the stone bed and had a good sleep after a long time.
The next morning, he heard the sound of his dream shattering—
Sheng Ran had gotten up at some point and was busy with the firewood, with thick smoke filling the kitchen.
"Is this her new tactic? Is she planning to set us on fire or poison us?"
He was so angry that his teeth were chattering. He felt that he was useless and had been played around by this evil woman again.
Pei Xiaoxing didn't know what was wrong with him, but he actually refuted it.
"Why do you always assume the worst of her?" Pei Xiaoxing said in a cold voice and hurried forward.
"My wife, there's no need to do such rough work. Besides, your eyesight is not good now, so don't hurt your hands."
Sheng Ran glanced at him and pushed him out without any hesitation.
Pei Xiaoxing paused slightly, noticing her abnormality.
"My wife's eye disease...has it improved?"
Her eyes were full of spirit, and her black pupils were moist, as if they contained light.
Sheng Ran was surprised. She didn't expect Pei Xiaoxing to be so perceptive. She couldn't help but smile softly, and her attitude became much gentler.
But she still drove him out of the kitchen and asked them to wait.
Pei Xiaoxing stared at her busy back, feeling uneasy for a moment, "My wife actually cares about us to this extent."
"As soon as my eye disease gets better, I will cook for myself."
“…”
Ling Rui looked at him with a complicated expression, his tone full of disbelief, "I'm afraid she's poisoned you! You're seriously ill!"
Pei Xiaoxing retracted his gaze and his face darkened instantly: "You don't have to eat it."
Ling Rui choked, "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I don't want it!"
There was smoke everywhere outside, and the atmosphere was so tense that it looked like a fight was about to break out at any moment.
The smoke in the kitchen was much less, and Sheng Ran finally mastered the use of primitive cooking utensils and gradually became proficient in it.
[So the host left the meat for them last night because he simply didn't like it?]
[Of course! I don't just dislike it, I simply hate it! Pei Xiaoxing's cooking is truly awful!]
The outer layer was burnt to carbonization, and when you bit into it, raw blood oozed out.
If you keep eating it for a long time, how can it not be considered an assassination...
Sheng Ran had so much to complain about that she felt the system's question was incomprehensible.
What else?
What else could be the reason other than recycling them as garbage?
