Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As Su Li wasn’t at ho, she didn’t have the energy to work anymore. It was as if Su Li wasn’t taking away the children, but her energy.
At so point, she had gotten used to the days with Su Li at ho. She liked to work with Su Li.
He Yufeng said, “Soon, right?”
Chen Xiang nodded and said, “Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, the food will turn cold. I’ll go busy myself first and clean up later.”
“Okay.”
After Chen Xiang left, He Yufeng stared at the food on the table in a daze.
According to the current progress, that woman wouldn’t be back for a while, Without the three of them at ho, the house instantly fell silent. In the past, it was noisy, but now, it was extrely nostalgic.
And the dog. It was one thing for them to leave, but the dog had gone with them. Would he die at ho with him?
Now, he had really beco soone that even the dog ignores!
No, he had to speed up this matter. Otherwise, it would be too late if he waited.
Wang Jinxue had just hung the washed clothes on the bamboo pole. She shook her sore hands and rubbed her swollen waist.
She scanned the courtyard and did not see her mother-in-law, so she found a corner and sat down.
In the past, she had thought that she had a lot of work to do. From ti to ti, she would complain to her man, and he would feel sorry for her.
Now, even if she worked herself to death, He Dashan would not say anything considerate. He even blad her for being useless.
Wang Jinxue had just sat down when her mother-in-law ca out of nowhere and pointed at her nose.
“It’s only been a blink of an eye and you’re already hiding in a dawdle. Do you think you’re living too long? At this rate, our family won’t even be able to drink rice soup. No wonder you can’t get married at such an old age. In the end, you married into our family and hard our family. It’s really eight lifetis of bad luck to marry you.”
Wang Jinxue said indignantly, “I’m not slacking off. I just finished washing my clothes.”
“How dare you talk back? A hen knows how to lay eggs. What do you know? Tell , what’s the use of having you?”
“I’m going to cut ragweed!” Wang Jinxue stood up angrily.
She really did not want to hear those words from her mouth. She carried the basket on her back and prepared to go out to cut ragweed.
This damn old woman. Let’s see what she’ll do when she gets old. When the ti cos, she won’t even give them food. Let’s see how arrogant they can be.
Wang Jinxue gritted her teeth. For the past few days, she had been waking up early and staying up late. Other than sleeping, she had no other free ti. As long as she was a little free, her mother-in-law would scold her by her ear.
If she did not eat well or sleep well, she had dark circles under her eyes now!
Now, she would rather go out and work so that no one would see her even if she slacked off.
“Have you heard? Soone is looking for his savior now. They even said that they want to reward him handsoly.”
“Really? There’s such a good thing? Tell !”
“I’m very clear about this. The person who was saved is very rich. Because he was in danger in our village, he fainted. When he woke up, he realized that he had been saved.”
“At that ti, I didn’t see the person who saved him. He thought that the person who saved him was in our village, so he sent soone to our village to ask who saved him!”
Wang Jinxue’s ears twitched.
Savior? A generous reward?
Could it be the old man she had t last ti?
Wang Jinxue had an idea and went forward to ask about this matter. “Auntie, what exactly is going on? Tell !”
The woman glanced at Wang Jinxue and then told her the whole story.
Wang Jinxue was ecstatic when she heard the news.
The description matched the old man she had seen last ti. At that ti, she seed to have seen Su Li’s back view as she left. However, this did not an that Su Li had saved him!
Anyway, Su Li was not at ho now. As long as she admitted to this matter, so what if Su Li found out about this in the future?
She didn’t have any evidence to prove that she was the one who saved him. When the ti ca, she could even say that Su Li was jealous.
Wang Jinxue was scheming in her heart.
She couldn’t help but laugh.
The woman at the side saw her smile and asked curiously, “What are you laughing at?”
Only then did Wang Jinxue realize that her smile was a little exaggerated. She hurriedly retracted her smile and said, “It’s nothing. Auntie, I’ll go cut the ragweed first.”
Although she said that she was going to cut the ragweed, she walked halfway and looked around to confirm that there was no one nearby. She was so excited that she spun around.
Wang Jinxue followed the woman’s instructions and found Zeng Qing’s guards.
“Excuse , are you looking for your master’s savior?” The guard sized up Wang Jinxue and asked, “You are?”
Wang Jinxue smiled and said, “I’m the one who saved him.”
The people who ca looking for him today ca one after another. They all heard that there was a reward coming, but none of them were really people who saved him.
Wang Jinxue described the situation that day and even briefly described the old man’s appearance.
Fortunately, she had taken a look at that old man at that ti. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be able to fool him now!
When the guard heard this, he felt that what Wang Jinxue said was very appropriate, so his tone beca much more polite. “Co with . I’ll bring you to see Master.”
“Please lead the way.”
Wang Jinxue laughed secretly in her heart. She could already see a large amount of money waving at her.
Zeng Qing was drinking tea in the carriage. When he heard that soone was found, he stood up.
“Ouch!!”
He forgot that this was a carriage. He suddenly stood up and felt dizzy.
The butler heard the commotion outside and asked worriedly, “Master, are you alright?”
Zeng Qing touched his head and endured the pain. “I’m fine. Where is she?
Hurry up and bring her over.”
Soon, Wang Jinxue was brought to Zeng Qing.
“Master, I’ve brought her here.” The butler said.
Zeng Qing opened the curtain and looked down at Wang Jinxue.
Wang Jinxue was a little nervous. This was the first ti she had co into contact with these nobles.
“Did you save ?” Zeng Qing asked.
Wang Jinxue nodded vigorously and said, “Yes, I saved you.”
Zeng Qing asked so questions and found that what Wang Jinxue said matched perfectly. It seed that she had saved him!
He asked so more questions about the token, but Wang Jinxue really didn’t seem to know. This made Zeng Qing very angry.
Did she deliberately not say anything?
Or had she really never seen it before?
Wang Jinxue rubbed her palms nervously. “I heard that the person who saved you will receive silver. I wonder how much it is?”
Zeng Qing glanced at her and said, “Is 100 taels of silver enough?”
100 taels?
Wang Jinxue’s eyes lit up.
She quickly nodded and said, “Enough, enough.”
If she had this hundred taels of silver, she would imdiately kick He Dashan into the ditch. She did not want to look at their family’s expressions.
Zeng Qing was not surprised by Wang Jinxue’s greedy eyes at all. If she really saved him, he would be willing to give her even a thousand taels, let alone a hundred taels..
