At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Seeing goose bumps crawling all over her silky skin, Song Dadong leaned in close, blew on it, and murmured, "Tsk, haven't you been eating well lately? You look thinner and more pale, and your face isn't as pretty as before."

Xiangzhi opened her eyes wide in panic, touched her face twice, and saw Song Dadong's evil smile before she suddenly realized that he was lying to her.

Song Dadong laughed heartily: "Don't worry, even if you are old and ugly, I will still take care of you! After all, you have helped my family to expand, and you are a great contributor!

"So I have to thank your coward husband. If he hadn't married you, how could you have met me and followed me? If it weren't for me, would you have experienced what it's like to be a woman?

"So I say, what's wrong with fooling around? Would that wimp Song Qin dare to hit me? I really don't know why you married him. To be a widow, or... for the excitement of having a secret meeting with me?"

Xiangzhi's face instantly lost all color, and she stammered, "You, don't talk nonsense, if someone hears..."

Seeing her cautious look, Song Dadong couldn't help but sneer, "It's out here in the wilderness. Who else could hear it besides the two of us? If you were really scared, why did you... make such a big noise?

"Besides, we've done everything we should and shouldn't have done so many times. It's a bit late to be afraid now, isn't it? Sister Songqin."

Xiangzhi's face turned even uglier. Song Dadong seemed to be feeling sympathy for her and said, "In my opinion, it would be better to just kill him and be done with it. Then you can follow me openly and honestly, and the child can call you mother openly. What do you think?"

Xiangzhi was genuinely moved by what she heard, but after a moment she stammered, "No, I can't help myself and have ended up in this situation. What good family would be willing to let me in?"

Song Dadong suddenly became angry, pinched Xiangzhi's neck tightly, and said coldly: "You can't help yourself? Humph, you are a fallen woman, and now you want to pretend to be a chaste heroine?

"What did you promise me originally, huh? Who promised that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Gu family and her niece would have a romantic encounter with me? It's been so long now, don't you have any idea?!"

Xiangzhi was being strangled to the point where it became increasingly difficult for her to breathe. The air passing through her throat became increasingly thinner, her face turned blue and red, and she struggled for mercy like a fish out of water.

"I've already started implementing all the methods I've come up with. I've also told Mrs. Wu and the others about it, but they don't believe me. I, I have no other options..."

"There's no other way?" Song Dadong tightened his grip, veins popped out, and squeezed out words from between his teeth that made Xiangzhi feel like she was falling into purgatory.

"If there's no other way, go ask the King of Hell and see if he can let you become a ghost so you can come back to help me!"

Xiangzhi was in so much pain that she couldn't make a sound. Between life and death, she suddenly had an idea and patted Song Dadong's forearm.

Seeing her tear-stained face and pleading eyes, Song Dadong loosened his grip and jokingly said, "So you have a new idea? Tell me about it."

Xiangzhi coughed violently for a moment, greedily sucking in the air, and then with a hoarse voice, she spoke her plan with difficulty.

"Since, since Mrs. Gu won't take the bait, why don't we create the illusion that she's already in love with you? That way, no one can help but believe it..."

"The last time I went to town with her, I saw her vomiting while leaning against the city gate. We could have said to her that she was pregnant with your child..."

Song Dadong didn't take it seriously at first, but when he heard this he couldn't help but stand up with his eyes shining and burst into laughter.

"As expected, women are the most vicious. Haha ...!"

Xiangzhi leaned over the bed, a cruel smile slowly appearing at the corner of her lips.

Mrs. Gu, don't blame me for being so cruel. It's really because you've blocked the way for too many people!

Song Dadong stroked Xiangzhi's cheek and said, "With your method, that little bitch Lin and her niece will definitely be no problem!"

Song Dadong felt even more itchy when he thought of Lin Qing's beautiful face and her budding niece.

"You are such a good woman, you're hard to find even with a lantern. How should I reward you..."

After another round of tenderness, Song Dadong hugged the woman's warm and soft body, gently stroked her hair, and suddenly said:

"Xiangzhi, I heard that you were originally the town master's concubine. How come you suddenly decided to marry into our village? And you married a guy who is so quiet and can't do anything even if you hit him with a stick?"

Xiangzhi said sadly, "It doesn't matter who you marry. They say that relationships based on beauty don't last long. Compared to survival, dignity, face, and even reputation, they really mean nothing."

When Song Dadong heard her say this, he smiled more and more satisfied, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"No wonder you could come up with such a vicious plan. I guess you've seen too many of these tricks in the inner chamber. I used to think you were just a pretty girl with nothing but beauty. Now it seems I really underestimated you.

"You've helped me a lot. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I will definitely do what I can."

Xiangzhi lowered her eyes, hiding the tears in her eyes, and said without hesitation:

"I, I don't want anything, I just ask you to raise our child well."

Song Dadong initially thought that she was a vain woman who would do anything for her own benefit, but he never expected that she could have such a loving heart.

After a moment of silence, he said, "My father dreams of having a grandson. Leave the child to him, you can rest assured."

The two chatted for a while until there was a knock on Song Qin's door in the middle of the night.

Song Qin was a little anxious. He ran to open the door and saw Xiangzhi holding hands intimately with Song Dadong. Xiangzhi quickly let go when she heard the sound.

A trace of anger flashed across his face, then disappeared in an instant.

Song Dadong, however, seemed to have completely ignored the main character. Whether intentionally or out of lingering interest, he rubbed Xiangzhi's slender waist with his fingers, and then shouted loudly and boastfully:

"Brother Songqin, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you married a beautiful wife like Xiangzhi, but you don't know how to cherish her? How can you let her go out on her own? What if she gets picked on by someone with bad intentions?"

As soon as he finished saying this, he heard a rustling sound. He thought it was Songqin's neighbors, who all pricked their ears to hear such a lively noise.

Song Qin frowned, seeming very dissatisfied with Song Dadong's actions.

Song Dadong was very satisfied and continued, "It was only because of me that you met me. Otherwise, how could your wife come back in one piece? Then you would have regretted it so much that you would have nowhere to cry! It was just a coincidence. I went out to pee and unexpectedly saw Xiangzhi who was lost in the mountains..."

This statement only made the matter more obvious. Song Qin even heard laughter coming from the base of the wall.

He gritted his teeth and listened to the other party's ridicule. His fingers clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound. He wanted to pick up the door bolt and smash it on the other party's face, but in the end he forced himself to endure it.

"Thank you, Brother Dadong. But in the future, please don't say anything that would damage Xiangzhi's reputation."
