Mu Fengqie shyly ran away, not daring to look at Jing Xunchao anymore. At her age, she couldn't stand being flirted with like this all the time.
Jing Xunchao's lips curved into a smile. His heart was as sweet as if it was smeared with honey. He continued to work on what he was doing. When Mu Fengqie looked up, she was shocked to see that the piece of wood in Jing Xunchao's hand had already turned into a dressing table. Her jaw almost dropped.
"How are you so amazing? Can you do everything?" Mu Fengqie couldn't hide her excitement.
How could there be such an all - around man in the world? And by some coincidence, she had him. It seemed that good luck was unstoppable!
Jing Xunchao nodded. "More or less. What do you want to do, wife?"
Mu Fengqie's smile was brilliant. "Do you have any paper and a pen?"
"No..." He hadn't touched paper and a pen for a long time. Since he came here, he had completely drifted away from his previous life.
Mu Fengqie wasn't very surprised by this answer. The conditions here were so poor that there was nothing decent, let alone paper and a pen.
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie already had an idea in mind. In a few months, they could move to a new place. If they didn't have enough money, they could rent a clean yard first.
Now she was pregnant. When the baby was born, they couldn't stay in such a harsh environment. A baby's physical condition was different from an adult's and wasn't suitable to grow up in such a primitive environment.
"Let's go to the market tomorrow to buy some paper and a pen. I'm thinking of making a baby carriage for the baby. It'll be more convenient that way."
Jing Xunchao was stunned for a moment. He didn't know how to respond. Did this mean she had accepted him and the baby?
Time flew by. These days, Mu Fengqie and Jing Xunchao had a relatively peaceful life. One went hunting and the other went to the market to sell the goods. Day after day, they enjoyed themselves.
Aunt Kong and Li Biquan found where Mu Fengqie lived by memory. They observed her secretly. When Aunt Kong saw the shiny silver, she became envious.
She never thought this little slut really had some skills. She could earn so much silver in one day. It seemed that this little slut was quite well - off. Thinking of this, Aunt Kong was furious.
She should have extorted a large sum of money from Jing Xunchao back then. Then this little slut wouldn't be so smug.
Mu Fengqie had long noticed Li Biquan and Aunt Kong sneaking around. She didn't want to bother with them. She was just surprised that these two had gotten together. Something fishy was going on!
Anyway, both Li Biquan and Aunt Kong were like poisonous wine. It was better to stay as far away from them as possible, or she would get herself into trouble.
"Aunt, Sister Xingrou suffered a great deal of injustice last time. In my opinion, Mu Fengqie is really too much. As a girl, which one doesn't contribute to her natal family? But she's good. As soon as she got married, she cut off all ties with her family. She's really ungrateful."
Li Biquan tried her best to stir up Aunt Kong. In Li Biquan's mind, both Mu Xingrou and Aunt Kong were her helpers. She was going to use the tactic of killing someone with a borrowed knife perfectly!
Hearing this, Aunt Kong frowned tightly. Her dissatisfaction was obvious. "This little slut keeps saying she has no money. God knows how much is in her pocket!"
"Aunt, Brother Rendong is not young anymore. Sister Xingrou has a hard time in her husband's family. The little money she gives isn't enough for Brother Rendong to marry a wife."
Hearing this, Aunt Kong couldn't sit still. She had worked hard all her life just to find a good wife for her son. But unfortunately, her son was lazy and did nothing all day. Aunt Kong had planned to use the silver she had saved to get an official position for Mu Rendong. Thinking of this, the silver in her hand was far from enough.
So Aunt Kong became even more covetous of Mu Fengqie's money. She rolled her eyes and rushed out. She actually knelt directly in front of Mu Fengqie, which also stunned Li Biquan.
Mu Fengqie widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Aunt Kong and Li Biquan. What on earth was going on?
"Qie'er, mother is begging you to help your elder brother! Our family can't do without your elder brother!" Aunt Kong shouted excitedly under everyone's gaze.
Li Biquan beside her raised her eyebrows and showed a meaningful smile. As if afraid of being seen, she lowered her head to hide the glint in her eyes.
Mu Fengqie heaved a heavy sigh. At this moment, she was extremely helpless. "Mother, what are you up to this time?"
"Mu Fengqie, how can you talk to your aunt like this? Your aunt is your own mother. Is this the way you talk to your mother?" Li Biquan was patiently comforting the crying Aunt Kong beside her.
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Li Biquan and Mu Fengqie formed a sharp contrast. Mu Fengqie could even hear the sporadic accusations.
She couldn't help rolling her eyes. Why was it so hard to live a peaceful life? She also felt sorry for the original owner. Being born into such a family, the original owner must have been unhappy.
The original owner was Aunt Kong's own daughter. Why did Aunt Kong treat her like an enemy?
"Mother, I'm already married. What deep hatred do we have between us? Why can't you just let me live a peaceful life?"
Mu Fengqie knew what kind of person Aunt Kong was. Aunt Kong was like a vampire. One day she would suck her dry. So no matter what, Mu Fengqie would never agree to Aunt Kong's unreasonable requests.
"Mother doesn't want to bother you. But a few days ago, you beat your elder brother so badly that he can't even get out of bed now. He probably won't be able to do any heavy work in the future. Your elder brother hasn't married yet. What's he going to do in the future?"
Aunt Kong cried more and more fiercely, with snot and tears all over her face. Seeing this, the accusations from the crowd became even stronger. Mu Fengqie was already impatient.
"What does elder brother's injury have to do with me? I can't always clean up elder brother's mess every time he goes out to have a wild time, can I? I really don't know why mother wants so much silver. When you married me off, my husband gave you a gold tassel. And when elder sister got married, there was also a bride - price of dozens of taels of silver. Does mother still care about these few taels of silver of mine?"
Aunt Kong also had quite a bit of silver in her hand, almost as much as Mu Fengqie. It was only now that Mu Fengqie realized how greedy human nature could be. But she wasn't going to let Aunt Kong succeed.
Aunt Kong's eyes were full of disbelief, as if she had seen a monster. How had this little slut become so sharp - tongued? It took her by surprise.
"It's not as simple as you said. All that was saved for your elder brother to marry a wife. Now that your elder brother can't do heavy work, which girl would be willing to marry him? If you had been a bit gentler back then... Alas... Why am I so unlucky!"
Aunt Kong continued her act of crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang herself. Li Biquan beside her also chimed in. "You beat your own elder brother so badly. Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
