Traveling through time as a peasant girl, buying a husband and raising a child
Chapter 7: Stepmother Wants Divorce
"Miss Mu, thank you."
Seeing this, Xia Jin spoke to Mu Jiaojiao solemnly from the bottom of his heart.
"What's the point of saying thank you? I like practical things."
Mu Jiaojiao paused and said that she would not accept any thanks without any sincerity.
"Miss Mu, please stay here. I will double the money you spent on the three of us, father and son."
Xia Jin's face suddenly showed discomfort and he said that the three of them, father and son, were really in a bad state.
"Ugly woman, when I grow up, I will make money for you."
Xia Zhao pursed his lips, then made a serious promise to Mu Jiaojiao.
"Why call me ugly woman? Call me mom!" Mu Jiaojiao pinched Xia Zhao's serious little face, looking dissatisfied.
"…………mother"
Xia Zhao rubbed his face, was silent for a while, and called out embarrassedly.
“Hahaha…be good!”
Mu Jiaojiao looked at the little arrogant girl's reluctance with a look of satisfaction on her face.
"If you can't find an antidote for your condition, I don't know if you can live until next year. And you have to pay me back double the money!"
Mu Jiao then casually spoke to Xia Jin:
"I'm not some fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who's in love with you and your son's promises."
But Mu Jiaojiao just forgot that her body was really only sixteen years old!
Although Xia Jin didn't understand what the empty promise meant, he understood that Mu Jiaojiao actually knew that he was poisoned.
Ordinary doctors who took his pulse said that he had a hidden disease or a serious illness, and few doctors could diagnose that he was suffering from poisoning.
Before he fled with Xia Zhao's two children, the head of Yudu Divine Doctor Valley diagnosed him with the Seven-Reincarnation Poison, but the poison formula was complicated and the antidote was hard to find.
Mu Jiaojiao was able to diagnose that he was poisoned. Regardless of whether she could detoxify him or not, Xia Jin was surprised by this.
As for Mu Jiaojiao, Xia Jin felt that he might need to treat her more formally.
"Miss Mu, do you know what poison I was poisoned with?"
Xia Jin suppressed the turmoil in his heart, remained calm, and asked Mu Jiaojiao tentatively.
"Isn't it just the Seven Revolutions of Reincarnation?"
Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently that she had nothing to hide.
"Mom, is there a solution?"
Xia Zhao asked impatiently after hearing this, while Xia Jin paused and suppressed the excitement in his heart.
"Have."
Mu Jiaojiao didn't hesitate, she really knew how to solve it.
"How to solve it?" Xia Jin stared at Mu Jiaojiao with burning eyes.
"I'm missing one ingredient: the blood of the seven-colored poisonous spider from southern Xinjiang."
Mu Jiaojiao did not answer Xia Jin's question, but told him directly that he was missing a main ingredient.
After hearing this, Xia Jin couldn't hide his excitement and clenched his hands on his knees. He thought his life was over, but he didn't expect there would be a turning point.
It’s just a main medicine in southern Xinjiang. According to Mu Jiaojiao, I can still delay it for another year, but one year is enough.
Xia Zhao looked disappointed. Where could he find medicine in southern Xinjiang?
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Xia Jin's expression and knew that he might have some way to find the herbs, so she said, "Just find them for me, and I'll cure you."
"it is good!"
Xia Jin did not hide the fact that he did have a way to find the herbs, and Mu Jiaojiao did not ask him how.
Mu Jiaojiao saw from the beginning that their identities were not simple. They were just down and out for a while, but they would not be down and out forever.
Besides, everyone has some secrets in life. I just met this father and his two sons by chance, so there is no need to dig into their secrets.
"But I won't do anything to detoxify you in vain. I have a request."
Seeing that Xia Jin agreed, Mu Jiaojiao then made a request.
"Miss Mu, please speak."
Xia Jin asked without hesitation. After all, benefits were the most attractive thing. As long as she could help him detoxify, she would not mind wealth and glory.
“After one year, whether your addiction can be cured or not, we will divorce.
Although I bought you for two taels of silver, we have already signed the contract with the government, so we are naturally husband and wife for this year."
Mu Jiaojiao paused here. She thought to herself that the original body was really good. She bought the person and asked Chen Laosan to use his connections to go to the government to sign the contract. Now the contract between her and Xia Jin was still lying quietly in the wooden box in the house.
Then Mu Jiaojiao continued calmly and even indifferently: "For this year, we only need to maintain the superficial relationship of husband and wife. I will not interfere in your life, and please do not interfere too much in mine.
Of course, I also hope to live peacefully this year. Please, Master Xia, deal with any unnecessary people and events that disrupt my peaceful life."
Xia Jin really didn't expect Mu Jiaojiao to say these words. At the same time, these words further reflected Mu Jiaojiao's wisdom and calmness.
She doesn't care about reputation, which is what an ordinary woman cares about, nor does she care about the so-called three obediences and four virtues.
She has a very sharp insight, and her courage is even comparable to that of most men.
"can."
Although Xia Jin was surprised by Mu Jiaojiao's momentum, he remained unusually calm and had no objection to Mu Jiaojiao's proposal.
Even if this woman doesn't bother him, it would be the best for him and his two children.
"Miss Mu has provided a place for my father and I to stay, and we are very grateful to her.
After one year, regardless of whether the girl can remove the poison from my body, I will divorce her."
Xia Jin spoke calmly while sitting on a stool with a corner missing in this dilapidated house.
"It's best if the young lady has no interest in me. It's also best if we don't interfere with each other. As for the other people and other things that the young lady is thinking about, there's no need to worry about them. Jin will take care of it."
Xia Jin straightened her back slightly when she said this, and even her coarse cotton coat could not hide her slightly revealed elegance.
Mu Jiaojiao, who has been traveling for many years, knows that Xia Jin is a person who has held a high position for a long time, but who is she, Mu Jiaojiao?
Although she didn't want to offend Xia Jin, she was not afraid of offending others.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Xia Jin without fear, and said calmly, "Words are not enough. I hope Mr. Xia will write it down in black and white."
"Miss Mu is right, it should be so."
Xia Jin didn't feel offended. They were just casual acquaintances, and he didn't trust Mu Jiaojiao's attitude towards him.
Seeing that he agreed, Mu Jiaojiao turned around and picked up a few leftover wooden sticks from the kitchen stove and brought them into the room. She was going to use them to write. There was no other way because the family could not afford pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Then he took out two pieces of the wedding dress he was wearing from the cabinet in the house, tore off two pieces, spread them in front of Xia Jin and said, "I'll read and you write. I can't read."
Mu Jiaojiao came to the Dayu Dynasty, but she had never seen the real characters here.
Although she was well versed in ancient classics and texts due to her research on medicine and poison techniques, who knew what the characters used in the Dayu Dynasty looked like.
Seeing this, Xia Jin did not refuse. She picked up a charcoal stick and wrote the word "contract" on the cloth, then waited quietly for Mu Jiaojiao to speak.
Mu Jiaojiao watched him write with the wooden stick. Even with his bony fingers holding the stick, the words were very pleasing to the eye.
So no wonder the original body was obsessed with his beauty. He was also a handsome guy in his previous life.
Mu Jiaojiao discovered that Xia Jin had a beautiful handwriting. His strokes flowed like dragons and his characters were wild, elegant and powerful, which made her look at him with admiration.
It is said that a person's handwriting reflects his character. His handwriting is very different from the person he is today.
