“Mom, what did that kid Xu Feng say?”
As Xu Qiang thought of Lin Xixue’s appearance and figure, a burning desire couldn’t help but rise in his heart.
Seeing his mother’s dejected expression, his hanging heart immediately sank.
“Xu Feng agreed.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang jumped three feet high with joy: “Really!”
Compared to their elder brother’s happiness, the two younger brothers became depressed.
Why did all the good things have to go to their elder brother first? They were old enough to get a Wife.
Moreover, they had both seen that Lin Xiyue, and anyone would be envious.
“Her deceased man owed 133 yuan. If you have the ability to pay back this money, you can bring her back.”
These words instantly extinguished Xu Qiang’s excited mood; selling this house wouldn’t even be worth 133 yuan.
Even if he had 50 yuan on him, Xu Qiang would have already married a Wife.
In contrast, the two younger brothers immediately began to gloat when they heard their mother say this.
It’s not about scarcity, but about unfairness; if no one has it, then it’s fair.
“Alas, I thought that Xu Feng was black-hearted and wanted to take both sisters, but it turns out she’s an unwanted money pit.
My eldest son, don’t think about it anymore. In a few days, Mom will find you someone better!”
…
“A Feng, do you really think my sister is a burden?”
After dinner, Lin Xixue proactively cleared the dishes. Xiyue was pregnant and wanted to help, but her sister wouldn’t let her.
“What do you think, Wife? Your man cherishes you two sisters too much to even think of anything else.
I deliberately said that just now because I was worried that the villagers would talk about you two sisters living together.”
The villagers would only think the same as Li Shen, that her sister was a money pit who owed 133 yuan.
Xu Feng would only have a headache over this matter; if it weren’t for his sister-in-law, he would have long since given up.
He wouldn’t think that the two sisters were shameless, being with the same man.
Gossip is a fearsome thing, especially in a village like this. Some things can be done but not spoken of.
Lin Xiyue wasn’t stupid and instantly understood.
Xu Feng’s voice wasn’t loud, but this kind of house had no soundproofing whatsoever.
Lin Xixue, washing dishes in the kitchen, was deeply moved and felt guilty for her earlier thoughts.
“What about that 133 yuan? Our family doesn’t have a single cent right now.”
As she spoke, Xiyue felt a pang of regret for the meat they ate at noon; if they hadn’t eaten it, they could have saved a lot of money.
“Don’t worry, Wife. If your man can’t even solve this, how can he take care of you two sisters?”
Leaving aside the system, with the value of the two sisters, there was no need to worry about such a small amount of money.
Recalling the Lin family behind the two sisters, Xu Feng suddenly thought of a critical matter.
By the time the Lin family came looking, his and his Wife’s marital relationship would have long since evolved from initial estrangement to deep affection, and Lin Xixue would even be included.
But the key was, would the powerful Lin family take a liking to a poor boy like him?
Not to mention that both daughters had been ‘ruined’ by this poor boy; that would be even more intolerable.
Although the situation of losing his life from the previous life wouldn’t occur, the Lin family would absolutely not allow Xu Feng to continue to involve the two sisters.
Therefore, Xu Feng had to grow strong enough to contend with the Lin family before they came looking for him.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Feng’s desire to make money immediately became urgent.
After cleaning up, Xu Feng carried his Wife to the bedroom for a nap, while Lin Xixue slept next door.
“Wife, let’s continue what we didn’t finish last time!”
Last time, Shoushan’s interruption had kept him busy until now. Looking at his beautiful and kind Wife, how could Xu Feng not be tempted?
“Oh, stop it, it’s broad daylight.”
Xu Feng’s hands made Xiyue’s body itch uncontrollably. She was too shy with the room so bright in broad daylight.
“Besides, Sister is still next door…”
The mud walls were fine for blocking wind, rain, and sight, but as for sound insulation, it wasn’t that it didn’t exist, it was simply useless.
“Unless something unexpected happens, Sister will always live next door. Are we not going to be affectionate then?”
Xu Feng didn’t give his Wife a chance to refuse and immediately reached out to unbutton her clothes.
Lin Xiyue, seeing that she couldn’t argue with her man, could only blush and tell him to be quieter.
“Okay!”
Xu Feng was waiting for this exact phrase. As for whether the sound was quiet or not, he wouldn’t care about it in a moment.
Anyway, they would be living together from now on, so it didn’t matter if she heard.
“Wife, I love you!”
…
Selling deer hide and deer antler wouldn’t actually yield much; the grain in the system space was the main asset.
If he exchanged it for money, there would be a risk of being accused of profiteering, so he could only take it to the black market.
Of course, there was no black market in the village; going to Si Jiu City would have to wait for the morning bus tomorrow.
And he would have to wait until dark, or even worse luck, he might not even encounter the black market.
This whole ordeal would take at least until the day after tomorrow for a round trip.
Just as he was thinking, a bicycle bell rang outside the door: “Is Xu Feng home!”
It was Qin Zhenguo from the neighboring village speaking, and his loud voice directly woke up Lin Xiyue, who had just fallen asleep.
Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Xiyue desperately motioned for Xu Feng not to answer.
After Wang Guafu’s man ate peanuts, Xu Feng had been hanging out with this man outside.
She was afraid that Xu Feng would go out and play with this man again, learn bad habits, and return to his previous scoundrel ways.
“Trust me, Wife. If I ever go back to how I was before, you two sisters won’t even need to do anything; I’ll chop off my own hands.”
Knowing what his Wife was worried about, Xu Feng immediately made a guarantee.
He was just wondering how to get into the city, and here someone came on a bicycle.
Seeing his man’s sincere eyes, plus his performance these past few days, Lin Xiyue chose to believe him.
“I’ll go out and see, wait for me.”
Seeing his Wife glowing with radiance from being well-nourished, Xu Feng couldn’t help but kiss her before going out.
“Why do you close your door so tightly in broad daylight, kid? Making babies in the house again?”
Qin Zhenguo shook his head, looking left and right, as if he could see Lin Xiyue lying on the bed through the mud wall.
In this era, not every family in the city had a bicycle, so one can imagine how much value Qin Zhenguo’s second-hand bicycle had in the countryside.
Logically, given Qin Zhenguo’s family conditions, he wouldn’t associate with a poor boy like Xu Feng at all.
There was only one possibility: this kid had his eyes on Xu Feng’s Wife.
Qin Zhenguo often gave Xu Feng small favors, but in reality, he was constantly trying to scheme against him behind his back.
Once, he even proactively lent Xu Feng money to go to the gambling den, planning to set up a trap to seriously fleece this kid.
He knew Xu Feng wouldn’t be able to pay, and then he would have to use his Wife as collateral.
But unexpectedly, this kid found an excuse to slip away and spent all the money he borrowed on alcohol.
Qin Zhenguo certainly wouldn’t give up, so here he was again, asking Xu Feng to go to Si Jiu City to have fun.
Knowing that this scoundrel was eyeing his Wife, Xu Feng directly blocked his gaze entirely.
“Just finished eating, just took a nap.”
Keeping this kid useful, Xu Feng didn’t break ties.
Qin Zhenguo didn’t notice that Xu Feng’s tone of voice towards him had changed; his mind was entirely focused on Lin Xiyue.
“Come on, brother got some more money. Let’s go to Si Jiu City to have some fun and find some ‘half-open doors’.”
