Chapter 58 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord

Jiang Dongsheng put Shen Zhi next to the sink, took some water and wiped his face. Without even wiping it, he stood aside and watched Shen Zhi brush his teeth.

Shen Zhi bared his teeth and asked Jiang Dongsheng to look at it. "Is it white?"

Jiang Dongsheng was dazzled by the two rows of white teeth and laughed foolishly: "White, my wife is white everywhere."

"Flatterer," Shen Zhi curled his eyes and snorted complacently.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't know what Shen Zhi was talking about, but seeing that his wife didn't look unhappy, Jiang Dongsheng couldn't help but be happy too.

The red marks on Jiang Dongsheng's body from being scratched by corn leaves became swollen after a night, and Shen Zhi felt pain just looking at them.

The cool and soft fingertips caressing Jiang Dongsheng's naked skin brought a slight shiver, and Jiang Dongsheng was so itchy that he wanted to hide. Tiny flames emerged from the wounds and burned wantonly.

"Does it... hurt?" Shen Zhi felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have asked Jiang Dongsheng to take off his shirt just because he didn't want to sit on the ground, which resulted in Jiang Dongsheng being scratched all over.

The corn leaves were very painful when they cut people. A thin line cut Shen Zhi's fingertips, and he felt like crying because of the pain.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips. He was obviously not so bad before.

It’s all Jiang Dongsheng’s fault. He was too easy to bully. We listened to everything he said and did whatever he said.

"It doesn't hurt. I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of pain." Jiang Dongsheng felt warm in his heart. His wife was so nice, obedient and easy to coax.

Not afraid of pain? That means you feel the pain and endure it.

Shen Zhi glared at Jiang Dongsheng, what a fool.

The two were fighting and quarreling, but suddenly they broke into Jiang Nian's eyes as he just walked out of the house, causing him to freeze.

"Still don't want to separate? The market day is in two days, and it's Shen Zhi's birthday. If you still can't figure it out, just think about how your eldest brother and Shen Zhi made love on the kang, and maybe you'll figure it out," Qi Wen, who followed closely, said with thorns in his words, piercing Jiang Nian.

The autumn wind was cool in the morning, and Shen Zhi was extremely afraid of the cold. Jiang Nian was standing at the door of the west room and happened to see Shen Zhi's profile beside the pool. The red mole on Shen Zhi's ear bone was like cinnabar lightly touched by a brush, and the cold wind made his jade-like transparent ear tremble.

That alluring red color seemed to have changed its meaning.

Jiang Nian couldn't help thinking that when Shen Zhi was rising and falling on big brother's body, the red mole would be like it is now, looming, tempting people to want to chase it and lick and bite it with lips and teeth.

Jiang Nian's Adam's apple rolled and he looked away.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Nian's voice was hoarse.

Qi Wenyan raised the corner of his mouth sarcastically, pretending to be a gentleman, but he was just coveting his sister-in-law. A scumbag like Jiang Nian should be with a villain like Shen Zhi who changes with the wind.

And he, who had been good to Jiang Dongsheng from the beginning, is the one who deserves the due reward.

"I have a secret recipe for brewing wine at home, but I lack the tools. I know there is a black market in the city. I need 200 yuan and I will buy it when I go to the city." Qi Wenyan used his only point to buy a truth talisman last time.

The points for redeeming the brewing secret recipe this time were given to him by the system.

As long as he successfully divides the family business, without Li Cuijuan and Jiang Guishan getting involved, and with Shen Zhi always beating and scolding Jiang Dongsheng, Qi Wenyan has enough confidence that Jiang Dongsheng will fall in love with him.

By then, thanks to Jiang Dongsheng's stubborn mind, wouldn't all the good things be his? Would he still be worried about not being able to pay back the ten points?

However, the brewing recipe given by the system was too high-end and required complete equipment. The betrothal gift given to him by the Jiang family was taken away by his gambling father, and now Qi Wenyan is penniless.

Jiang Nian's earnings could give him five yuan a month, and even if he saved some it was still not enough, so he set his sights on Jiang Nian, who also took advantage of the division of the family property.

Jiang Nian frowned, and Qi Wenyan unexpectedly opened his mouth in a lion-like voice, "No, at most fifty."

Chiang Kai-shek received 35 yuan a month. He gave 10 yuan to his parents and 5 yuan to himself, leaving him with 20 yuan. How was it possible that he didn't even have 200 yuan left?

"I paid for the desks and chairs used by students in the school." If not for this, Jiang Nian would not have been unable to afford the 300 yuan to marry Shen Zhi.

Qi Wenyan spat and cursed: "You rotten good man."

He only gave his wife a little household allowance, but all the rest of the money went to outsiders. It really makes one hate it.

Qi Wenyan was so upset that he didn't eat much for breakfast and went to work in the fields in a rage.

The Jiang family didn't understand why, so they simply didn't care.

Li Cuijuan specifically called Jiang Dongsheng aside, and took out twenty yuan from her cloth bag and stuffed it into Jiang Dongsheng's pocket.

"Mom, I don't want money." Even though Jiang Dongsheng was stupid, he knew that he should not spend his parents' money when he grew up, and he should earn money himself to spend for his wife.

Li Cuijuan poked Jiang Dongsheng on the forehead and called him a fool. "It's not for you, it's for your wife. When you go to the city, go to the store and buy some vanishing cream with a note. I asked around and it's five yuan a bottle. Buy a few more and keep them. Remember not to let your wife see it."

Jiang Dongsheng was puzzled and asked: "Mom, you bought it for my wife, why don't you let her see it?"

Li Cuijuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Because, it's used on your wife. Your wife is from the city, she's thin-skinned and shy."

Jiang Dongsheng nodded, not quite understanding what was going on. His wife was indeed shy. He saw her peeing, and her baby was shaking with fear.

Li Cuijuan gave the twenty yuan in her hand to Jiang Dongsheng. It was always difficult for men to do that. When their older generation lived a better life, they used lard. Now the eldest brother made money and the second brother also made money.

Shen Zhi is a darling from the city, so she won’t be treated unfairly by using some cold cream.

Jiang Dongsheng pocketed twenty yuan and kept it close to his body, and did not let Shen Zhi find it until the day of the gathering.

In order to transport the corn from home to the city, the Jiang family hired a tractor, loaded it up, and set off early with Jiang Dongsheng, Shen Zhi, and Qi Wenyan.

Shen Zhi had never gotten up so early before, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes. Jiang Dongsheng held Shen Zhi in his arms and wrapped him with clothes. His muscular arms were very steady, and Shen Zhi slept soundly.

The furry little head was resting on Jiang Dongsheng's chest. When Jiang Dongsheng lowered his head, he could see Shen Zhi's thick and long eyelashes, and her pursed, moist and soft red lips.

The car was filled with corn, and Jiang Dongsheng's heart was also filled with corn.

Qi Wenyan was tossed around in the tractor. In his previous life, he was used to riding in luxury cars. This time, the tractor had no shock absorbers, made a deafening sound, and emitted black smoke, which made him feel disgusted.

Qi Wenyan looked at Shen Zhi who was hiding safely in Jiang Dongsheng with jealousy, and could not help but sneer, knowing that the position would be his sooner or later.

Guya Village is far from the city, and it takes four or five hours to drive there with a tractor. Li Cuijuan was afraid that they would get hungry, so she gave them ten corn cakes to take with them on the road.

Today is Shen Zhi's birthday. Li Cuijuan didn't make longevity noodles for Shen Zhi, but she specially made an egg pancake for him with flour. Although there was only a thin layer of egg, it was still golden and crispy, and it smelled delicious.

You might not be able to eat such delicious food even during the Chinese New Year. Qi Wenyan's stomach was growling, and he secretly cursed that old woman Li Cuijuan for being biased.

She is not her biological son, yet she is so partial to Shen Zhi. If Shen Zhi really married Jiang Nian, Li Cuijuan would spoil him to the heavens.

"Brother, are you hungry?" Qi Wenyan opened the aluminum box. The corn cakes inside were still warm. Qi Wenyan picked out a piece and said kindly, "Brother, let me feed you."

Jiang Dongsheng's tiger eyes narrowed, and he tried to lower his voice and said in a rough voice: "I am so old, how can I still need to be fed by others?"

Qi Wenyan passed by Shen Zhi in Jiang Dongsheng's arms and explained, "Brother, I'm afraid you will wake Xiao Zhi up." As he spoke, Qi Wenyan raised the corn cake in his hand in front of Jiang Dongsheng.

Jiang Dongsheng held the soft baby in his arms and did not dare to move. However, he did not want to be fed by anyone. Jiang Dongsheng was in a dilemma.

There was a movement in Jiang Dongsheng's arms. Shen Zhi didn't know how long he had slept. He yawned a little, stretched his waist and arched it upwards, buried his head in Jiang Dongsheng's neck and rubbed it hard, then he opened his eyes half asleep.

Jiang Dongsheng felt nothing. He was completely bewitched by his young wife. His pounding heart melted into water. He was rubbed against by his tender wife. Jiang Dongsheng could not get enough of looking at Shen Zhi and stared at her in fascination.

Qi Wenyan, who was being ignored, couldn't laugh anymore. Shen Zhi had never been abandoned by Jiang Dongsheng in his life, and it seemed that he still had some tricks up his sleeve, like a vixen. Which man could stand this?

Shen Zhi commanded: "I'm hungry, give me the egg pancakes my mother made."

Jiang Dongsheng quickly took out the egg biscuit from the bottom of the aluminum box and carefully fed it to Shen Zhi's mouth. Shen Zhi held the biscuit as big as his face and gnawed it like a small animal. His soft cheeks were bulging, which looked very appetizing.

Jiang Dongsheng, who had just refused to be fed by Qi Wenyan, was concentrating on feeding Shen Zhi. He didn't even need to eat because he was already full because of his wife.

The corn cake in Qi Wenyan's hand was almost rotten.

When he becomes Mrs. Lu, he will never let Shen Zhi go. He wants to let Shen Zhi see that Jiang Dongsheng treats him better and more dotingly than he treats Shen Zhi.

"Host, you still owe ten points, remember to complete the task actively," the system reminded online in a timely manner.

Qi Wenyan stared at the egg pancake in Shen Zhi's hand with greedy eyes. Shen Zhi has a small appetite, so it’s not too much to give it to him, right?

"Brother, I haven't eaten egg pancakes for a long time. I fell into the water and need to recuperate. Can you give me some?" Qi Wenyan pleaded.

Jiang Dongsheng stared at Qi Wenyan who was trying to snatch his wife's food and refused decisively, "No, my wife hasn't eaten enough yet."

Qi Wenyan: ...

"Host, don't worry. The greater the value, the higher the points. An egg pancake is not worth a single point," the system consoled.

After being rejected, Qi Wenyan turned his head and bit the corn cake in his hand in dissatisfaction. Jiang Dongsheng, this fool, was very picky. After being told by the system, he barely calmed down.

Shen Zhi glanced at Qi Wenyan. Just now, Shen Zhi picked up the egg on the egg pancake and ate it. He left most of the pancake and refused to eat it no matter what.

Jiang Dongsheng took the big cake with the egg eaten by his wife, and remembered that Jiang Nian had asked him to take care of Qi Wenyan. Jiang Dongsheng reluctantly called Qi Wenyan, "Here's the cake for you."

Qi Wenyan turned around in shock, but before he could even laugh, he was frozen in place by the empty cake that was stained with Shen Zhi's saliva. He would not eat it if it was so disgusting.

Seeing that he didn't take it, Jiang Dongsheng urged him, "Why don't you eat? Didn't you say you were hungry?"

If Qi Wenyan doesn't eat it, he will eat it. He is willing to eat his wife's leftovers.

Qi Wenyan refused harshly: "I... still don't want to eat it."

Jiang Dongsheng didn't bother to be polite with Qi Wenyan and stuffed the biscuit into his mouth in just two or three bites.

Qi Wenyan was very well behaved the rest of the way. He felt disgusted with Jiang Dongsheng after tasting Shen Zhi's saliva. If Jiang Dongsheng fell in love with him in the future, he would definitely let Jiang Dongsheng rinse his mouth dozens of times to wash this man clean before letting Jiang Dongsheng touch him.

Finally they arrived in the city at noon. Qi Wenyan thought about going to the black market to buy brewing tools, so he found an excuse and separated from Jiang Dongsheng and the others.

Jiang Dongsheng took Shen Zhi with him to sell the corn they had brought over, and also bought wheat seeds from two families.

It was almost dark at this time. Shen Zhiguang was focusing on Chi's delicious eggs and didn't eat the biscuits much because he was getting hungry.

Jiang Dongsheng took Shen Zhi to the state-owned hotel and bought some buns for Shen Zhi. The buns had thin skin and lots of fillings. The skin was soft and the meat was juicy. Shen Zhi loved them very much.

Seeing that he liked it, Jiang Dongsheng bought a few more to take away.

"It's too expensive, just eat a few to satisfy your hunger," Shen Zhi advised in a low voice. Even though he had money from selling corn, he couldn't help spending it like this.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't care and said, "It's okay, daughter-in-law. All our money is for you to spend."

Jiang Dongsheng's straightforward and passionate words made Shen Zhi feel ashamed instantly. He should have left a bite for Jiang Dongsheng just now. Even if he didn't make money, he would always spend it on Jiang Dongsheng. But he didn't even leave a bite of the bun for Jiang Dongsheng.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't know what Shen Zhi was thinking, so he took Shen Zhi to a department store in the city.

"My mother asked me to buy a few bottles of vanishing cream," Jiang Dongsheng said while standing at the counter. His rude and silly words made the salesperson cover his mouth and laugh, and people around him were also whispering.

Shen Zhi felt uneasy as she felt the gazes from all directions. For the first time, she realized clearly how embarrassing it was to marry a fool and be probed and discussed by outsiders.

Shen Zhi's face flushed red and he felt like crying out of grievance. At this moment he truly understood that no matter how good Jiang Dongsheng was to him, he was still a fool.

And he married a fool for 400 yuan as a dowry.

When Jiang Dongsheng asked the salesperson how many bottles he wanted, Shen Zhi finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed out of the store.

"Wife, wife!" Jiang Dongsheng panicked when he saw Shen Zhi leaving, and chased after him at the top of his voice.

Shen Zhi walked into a deserted alley without looking back, squatted down, hugged his knees and cried bitterly.

Jiang Dongsheng was tall and strong, and he caught up with Shen Zhi in just a few steps. However, he saw his wife squatting at the wall and crying.

Jiang Dongsheng was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. He didn't know what happened to his wife. She was fine just now. Jiang Dongsheng listened to his wife's sobbing voice, like the cry of a kitten, and felt like his flesh was being cut with a blunt knife.

The pain made him miserable.

"Wife...Wife, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Dongsheng squatted in front of Shen Zhi, not daring to touch him. The burly man's voice was actually filled with tears. "Wife, did I make you angry? Can you hit me? Don't cry, it hurts my heart."

Shen Zhi raised his red eyes and pushed Jiang Dongsheng to the ground with force. He took out his anger on Jiang Dongsheng because of the humiliation he had just suffered from others.

"Why are you a fool? Why do you always say "me, me, me" and make me a laughing stock? I hate you." Tears flowed from Shen Zhi's eyes and dripped down his face.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't understand what Shen Zhi meant, but he knew that he had made his wife angry. He slapped his head hard, hoping to get Shen Zhi's forgiveness. "It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I'm a fool. Don't be angry, wife. Just hit me."

Shen Zhi cried and sobbed. He knew that he was not to blame Jiang Dongsheng, but he just felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent all his anger on Jiang Dongsheng.

Jiang Dongsheng's fists were powerful, hitting his head again and again, and Shen Zhi could even hear the muffled sound.

Why am I so bad?

Shen Zhi cried and threw herself on Jiang Dongsheng, stopping him from beating her, and choked up and said, "Don't talk about me anymore, talk about me."

Jiang Dongsheng quickly assured: "I definitely won't tell..."

"I, my wife, I am talking about myself," Jiang Dongsheng changed his words.

Shen Zhi's tears fell on Jiang Dongsheng's cheek. Jiang Dongsheng's heart was twitching. How could he make his wife cry like this? He was such a piece of shit.

Shen Zhi hugged Jiang Dongsheng's neck tightly, trying to draw a little strength from Jiang Dongsheng to maintain the strength of his proud soul. Shen Zhi didn't understand why he could still treat Jiang Dongsheng as the culprit and beat and scold him at will when it was clearly his fault.

Shen Zhi hated himself for being like this. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Shen Zhi whispered to Jiang Dongsheng, who had suffered an innocent disaster.

Jiang Dongsheng hugged Shen Zhi, feeling the deep sadness on Shen Zhi, and whispered: "My dear wife, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Jiang Dongsheng patiently comforted the depressed Shen Zhi as if he was coaxing a child.

Shen Zhi's temper has never been so bad since his mother died.

But now he seemed to be able to be willful again because Jiang Dongsheng was coaxing him. Jiang Dongsheng, who had just been beaten and scolded by him, was coaxing him patiently without any temper.

It turns out that there is someone who loves him besides his mother, but that person is a fool.
