Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 88 The Prime Minister's Early Death

Today is the day when the third daughter of the Zhang family returns home with her new son-in-law.

The fat woman thought Zhao Wan'er was an eyesore, but she didn't want her to stay idle in the house, so she sent her far away to sweep the yard.

During the first few days after Zhao Wan'er was reborn, doing these rough work made her extremely painful.

By now I've become numb to doing this kind of work.

Just as she was waving the broom mechanically, she heard a surprised voice from the corner:

"Wan... Wan'er?"

There was a hint of familiarity and disbelief in the voice.

Zhao Wan'er suddenly turned her head to look, but didn't see who was calling her.

"Wan'er, is that you? I'm here..."

Zhao Wan'er felt a little tingling on her scalp for some reason, but the strange sense of familiarity prevented her from turning around and running away immediately.

She walked a few steps towards the source of the sound and finally found a ragged beggar lying in the corner.

At this moment, the beggar had used his dirty hands to lift up the tangled hair that had covered his forehead, revealing a pair of eyes flashing with urgency and joy.

Zhao Wan'er screamed:

"Brother Ye?"

"Yes! It's me! I'm Brother Ye..."

"Great, Wan'er, you recognized me, right? You...you've been reborn too!"

Zhao Wan'er's body was trembling, whether from excitement or something else. She looked around and took a few cautious steps forward, keeping a certain distance from the beggar in front of her.

"Brother Ye, how did you become like this?" Her voice was tinged with tears. The couple met again after a lifetime apart, and it was a long-awaited reunion. They should have been even happier to see each other.

But for some reason, Zhao Wan'er had a bad feeling at this moment.

"Wan'er, this is a long story. Are you living in this house now?" The beggar looked at the inconspicuous house with a puzzled look.

Zhao Wan'er nodded.

"Please get me some food and water first. I'm a little thirsty." Xuanyuan Ye said confidently. Wan'er was his queen, his wife, so it was her duty to serve him.

He had nothing to be embarrassed about in front of his wife.

Zhao Wan'er didn't expect Brother Ye to ask her for food right after they met. She was slightly stunned, but then she thought of Xuanyuan Ye's special identity. Perhaps there was something else going on.

It was also because she was afraid that the Zhang family would find out, and she was so nervous that she didn't even notice that Xuanyuan Ye's legs were empty.

At this moment, her expression finally relaxed a little, and there was even a hint of joy at reunion after a long separation.

"Okay, Brother Ye, wait for me for a moment."

Xuanyuan Ye nodded and watched Zhao Wan'er briskly turn around and go in with a broom.

He didn't expect Wan'er and her family to live in such a remote place. No wonder he had been looking for Wan'er for so many years without any results.

He later learned from other beggars that his father-in-law in his previous life had not had a smooth career in this life for some reason, and he even lost his official position and the Zhao family's mansion.

Although I was a little disappointed, I didn't care too much.

He thought that after all, the Zhao family was so wealthy that even if his father-in-law was no longer an official, it would not affect the family's wealthy life.

Of course, he would never have thought that all the wealth and power of Zhao Wan'er and the Zhao family that he had seen in his previous life came from the Nan family.

It was precisely this lack of information that had led to his fruitless search for his wife for so many years, as he had always been staking out information in the mansions and wealthy places of the capital.

In such a remote and poor place, he wouldn't even come here to beg for food, okay?

The people living in places like this are all poor people. They can’t even get enough to eat themselves, so how can they have extra food to give to beggars?

He could only ask for a good beating, and the food he had been hoping for might even be snatched away. He had also slept under the overpass last night, and somehow found himself in this place this morning.

(Nan Xi, a kind-hearted person, hides his merits and fame.)

The wall where he was thrown was still quite warm from the sun, so he closed his eyes and dozed off for a while. He had already seen Zhao Wan'er coming out to sweep the yard.

At first, I just felt that she looked familiar, and didn't think of Zhao Wan'er. After all, in her previous life, Zhao Wan'er had lived a life of luxury, never touching women. How elegant and graceful was that?

The little girl in front of me was short, with a sallow complexion and was so thin that she looked like she could be blown down by a gust of wind. Her back was slightly hunched when she worked.

It was only when she accidentally looked up at him and saw those familiar eyes that he tried to call out.

Unexpectedly, it was really Wan'er.

Haha, this is really effortless.

It seemed like he and Wan'er were destined to be together after all. Great, they wouldn't miss each other in this lifetime.

But why was Wan'er dressed so strangely? Could it be that the Zhao family treated her so harshly just because her father-in-law lost his job? This was too much.

After Wan'er marries him, he will definitely control his father-in-law for once.

He was just daydreaming when he heard Zhao Wan'er hurried out.

Her hands were empty, and as she walked towards him, she even looked around, as if she was afraid of being seen.

Xuanyuan Ye felt a little dissatisfied. Did Wan'er dislike him? But he quickly suppressed this emotion, raised his eyes and smiled at Zhao Wan'er.

"Walk slowly and watch your step."

Zhao Wan'er was a little touched.

In her previous life, Brother Ziye was like this, always gentle and considerate to her. That's why she was willing to do so much for him.

Thinking of this, she took out half a dry and hard biscuit and a worn water bag from her lapel.

"Brother Ye, these are all we have now. Please just eat them first!"

"This..." Xuanyuan Ye's expression was a little disgusted, but he was really hungry, so he had to take it and ate it with great effort, taking bites of the pancake and sips of water.

He was so focused on eating that he didn't notice Zhao Wan'er staring at the pancake in his hand and swallowing her saliva.

This half piece of cake is actually Zhao Wan'er's food for the whole day.

She only took a few bites of the food the fat woman had thrown to her that morning before putting it away. There was no other way; if she didn't save some, she would be too hungry to sleep at night.

Now that she had given the cake to Brother Ye, she would be hungry for the rest of the day.

After Xuanyuan Ye finally finished eating and drinking, Zhao Wan'er took over the empty water bag. This was the water bag she had secretly taken from the Zhang family, and she did not own it.

"Brother Ye, I'm still married and can't stay here for long. If someone sees me, it'll be over." Zhao Wan'er looked around and asked cautiously:

"Where do you live? I'll come find you tomorrow, okay?"

"This..." Xuanyuan Ye was embarrassed. He was a beggar with no place to live, where could he live?

But this was the first time he and Wan'er met in their lives. Once his stomach was filled, his remaining self-esteem emerged again.
