The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Hou Jie smiled awkwardly and raised his hand to touch his nose. He had indeed done something a bit inappropriate just now. Although he was not a good person, he was not someone who would not take responsibility after doing something wrong. No matter what the reason was, he had to give an explanation since it happened.

Fortunately, this is the Republic of China, where having three wives and four concubines is allowed. If a few years later, when the new China was established, the monogamy system was implemented, it would be a crime. And he is so young, and he did such a thing. Isn't it a bad example for the child? If people know about it, they will be struck by lightning.

In order to deal with this matter, Hou Jie planned to get a fake identity. Anyway, this kind of thing is easy to handle during the turbulent times, and it won't take much effort. After making up his mind, he turned his eyes to Mu Chunhua and said solemnly.

"Chunhua, what has happened has already happened and cannot be changed. I will be responsible for you. From now on, you are mine."

Mu Chunhua was relieved when she heard Hou Jie's words, but she was still very angry. She said in a bad tone, "You big bad guy, don't talk to me first, let me calm down."

Mu Chunhua had already made up her mind that if it could help her buy medicine for her father's treatment, she would be willing to become his concubine. She was not so ambitious as to fight for the throne.

But before she could confess, this happened. She could no longer express this thought.

My family is not well off, and I have been criticized for working as a waitress in the Shikoku Hotel. I don't think any good family would want me.

Judging from Hou Jie's wealth, his family background is not simple, so marrying him would be considered marrying above my station.

Now it seems that it is too late to think about anything. I have already confessed myself and I have no choice but to follow. Fortunately, this guy still has some conscience and is willing to take responsibility for himself.

Hou Jie touched his nose awkwardly, and cast his eyes gently towards Mu Chunhua who was lying on the kang. He walked up slowly and said softly to Mu Chunhua, "Chunhua, take a rest first. I'll go buy you some food and some clothes."

After Mu Chunhua figured it out, she slightly opened her eyes. After hearing Hou Jie's words, a tired and helpless smile appeared on her slightly pale face. She nodded and said weakly, "Go! Go quickly and come back soon." Hou Jie nodded gently and walked out of the yard.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, Hou Jie saw Wu Laoqi walking up quickly. Wu Laoqi had a respectful and friendly smile on his face and said, "Young Master, you're out."

Hou Jie was startled, then he remembered that he had asked them to take care of Mu Chunhua for him. He stayed here yesterday, and these people should have known about it.

Since he knew it, there was nothing to say. He just asked Wu Laoqi to do it for him, which saved him the trouble of running errands.

Hou Jie took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to Wu Laoqi, saying, "Wu Laoqi, go buy some food and some clothes for Mu Chunhua."

He thought to himself: "With Wu Laoqi and the others here to take care of Mu Chunhua, I feel more at ease." Thinking of this, Hou Jie turned around and went back to the yard.

Wu Laoqi nodded and took the money. "Okay, Young Master, wait a moment and I'll be there soon."

Wu Laoqi arrived at the gate of the yard early in the morning and waited. As expected, he got what he wanted. He knew yesterday that the young master had spent the night here, and he was satisfied to show up in front of the young master today.

When I heard the young master saying that he wanted to buy women's clothes, I exclaimed in my heart that he was worthy of being the young master and his actions were so quick.

The young masters of wealthy families are really good at playing tricks. Such a young master has a mistress outside. The circle of upper-class families is really chaotic.

Seeing Hou Jie coming back so soon, Mu Chunhua was filled with confusion and doubts, and couldn't help asking:

"Why are you back so soon?"

Hou Jie said without thinking, "I just happened to run into my little brother outside, so I asked him to run errands."

After hearing this, Mu Chunhua became even more confused. She thought of the group of people who were always circling outside her house. They seemed to be protecting her, but they also seemed not to be. She couldn't help but ask, "There are always a group of people circling outside my house. Are they your people?" Hou Jie nodded and admitted that he had indeed given instructions.

Mu Chunhua had mixed feelings. She did not feel at ease, but became even more worried.

Hou Jie nodded, admitting that he had indeed given instructions. He explained, "They should be my people. They are working at my stall now. I told them some time ago that I was afraid you would be in danger again, so I asked them to take care of you. I didn't expect them to be so concerned, but they were a little stupid and you found them so quickly."

Mu Chunhua narrowed her eyes, wondering if this guy had been plotting against her for a long time. The drinking incident yesterday had inadvertently brought the process forward.

If he likes me, it wouldn't be a bad thing for me to follow him. After all, the days of being liked by others are never bad. Thinking of this, I felt a little secretly happy.

Mu Chunhua asked worriedly:

"Tell me, have you been eyeing me for a long time?" Hou Jie was immediately flustered when Mu Chunhua asked him this, and quickly waved his hands to deny: "No, this is really a pure misunderstanding."

Mu Chunhua asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Hou Jie answered seriously, "Really? I'm just worried that you'll run into bad guys again. They just so happen to be from your alley, so I asked them to take care of you. I don't have any other intentions."

Mu Chunhua got even angrier when he heard him say that: "If there's no answer, then there's no answer. Can't you just lie to get by? Do you know how to coax a girl?"

Hou Jie was confused. I can't say: I have been eyeing you for a long time, then who am I? It's not right to say it, and it's not right not to say it. What should I do? Women are really hard to understand.

Mu Chunhua complained to Hou Jie in her heart, "Did I want to hear you say this? Why would I stick to you? You have no choice but to ask me!"

Women won't reason with you. Once they start to become petty, everything you say will be wrong.

Mu Chunhua stared at Hou Jie with her big, watery eyes blinking. Her gentle tone carried a hint of stubbornness and expectation as she asked again affectionately, "Do you really not like me at all? Even just a little bit?"

Hou Jie felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and quickly waved his hands and shook his head to deny, "No, you are beautiful and kind, I am so happy to marry you!"

Hearing this, Mu Chunhua's originally nervous mood eased a little, a satisfied smile appeared on her face, and she said angrily: "You are a good judge of vision, you have passed this time."

Who knows what kind of ridiculous words this bad guy Hou Jie said again, which made Mu Chunhua furious?

With an expression of being ungrateful, he said faintly, "As for me! I have always been here with the mentality of doing good things without asking for anything in return, really."

"Who would have thought that while doing such a good thing, I would actually send myself out."

"This wine is really a poison that penetrates the intestines. The ancients were right. They were absolutely right."

Who wouldn't be angry after hearing this? Mu Chunhua also sat up suddenly, her face flushed, staring at Hou Jie angrily. Regardless of whether Hou Jie saw her or not, she raised her finger and pointed at Hou Jie, saying loudly: "Hou Jie, tell me what it means to sacrifice yourself for a good thing? Do you think I will rely on you? If so, get out of here now!"

When Hou Jie saw that Mu Chunhua was so angry that she was about to cry, he knew that he had said the wrong thing.

"It's over, we need to hurry and comfort them."

He quickly stood up, walked to Mu Chunhua, and coaxed her in the most gentle voice: "Chunhua, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that drinking is harmful to your health. You should be careful when drinking next time."

"We are destined to be together. This is arranged by God. I am so happy now, don't think too much."

Although Hou Jie's words were a bit corny, they temporarily calmed Mu Chunhua's anger. But he also knew in his heart that he had to learn his lesson in the future.
