Chapter 16: Taking a Concubine? Impossible, Either Divorce or Become Widowed

After Xia Wanwan arrived at the diving area, she went straight into the water to catch fish.

Because no one ate fish in this dynasty, the river was flooded with fish. Even without fishing tools, two big, fat fish were caught after a while.

"We've found some delicious food for tonight, but..."

Looking at the two big, plump fish, Xia Wanwan was just feeling happy, but suddenly she remembered that there was no rice or oil at home, and her mood instantly deflated.

You don’t have to have rice, after all, we have fish, and we can still be full with fish.

But it won’t work without oil!

Fish needs a lot of oil. It won’t taste good without it, let alone two big fish.

"What should I do? Borrow some from the villagers? I can pay them back in a couple of days?" Xia Wanwan thought about asking the villagers for some money, but then shook her head violently. "No, no, with my current reputation, I don't think anyone would be willing to lend me oil, let alone a grain of rice."

ah~

If it really doesn't work, I'll just have to steam it at night. It doesn't matter if the taste is a little worse, but it's better than going hungry.

Thinking of this, Xia Wanwan carried the fish in the bamboo basket to the vegetable garden, picked two small green onions and then went home.

As soon as she got home, she saw a pile of food on the table. It was called a pile, but in fact it was just a little bit.

But in this era of food shortage, this was a huge pile of things, including oil, rice, flour, wild fruits, etc., which almost filled up their small table.

"Mother~"

Xia Wanwan shouted twice at the top of her lungs, wanting to find Tang Guifang to ask for clarification.

She didn't want to be framed at this critical juncture and accused of stealing. She would be taken to the government. Not only would she be punished for stealing, but she would also have to compensate the person whose things were stolen.

"What do you want from mother? She's gone up the mountain with the children."

Gu Huaijin walked out of the inner room with a saw in his hand and asked softly.

"you are back?"

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Xia Wanwan went over and wiped the sweat off his forehead with her sleeves.

Gu Huaijin felt her gentle and careful actions for the first time, and his heart suddenly beat violently.

"Congratulations, host. Your husband's favorability towards you has increased by 5%. The current favorability is 10%."

The system's voice suddenly appeared in Xia Wanwan's mind, causing her to pause in wiping the sweat off her face.

She looked up at the tall man in front of her and swallowed subconsciously, thinking: No way! Is this man so easy to tease? Just wiping his sweat, his favorability increased by 5%. If a woman from outside climbed into his bed, wouldn't it be even more outrageous?

Thinking of this, Xia Wanwan withdrew her hand in annoyance and asked coldly, "What's going on with the things on the table? Did you borrow them, or did your mother borrow them?"

Since he is at home, there is no need to worry about who is framing him.

Gu Huaijin: "..."

She was gently wiping his sweat in the last second, but she became a different person in the next second, as if someone owed her millions of silver.

"You don't know where this thing came from?"

Gu Huaijin stared at her in surprise. Judging from her expression, she really didn't seem to know.

"If I knew, would I need to ask you?"

Xia Wanwan glanced at him unhappily.

"Food is scarce these days. What if someone has bad intentions and deliberately frames our family?"

She was not afraid of being framed. It would only take a few minutes to find evidence to prove her innocence, but she didn't like trouble.

Seeing her suffocating look, Gu Huaijin said helplessly, "It was brought here by Aunt Wang and her daughter Li Dongmei. They wanted to..."

When Xia Wanwan heard that it was Li Dongmei who brought it, she immediately looked at him and warned him, "Gu Huaijin! If you dare to take Li Dongmei as a concubine for such a small thing, I will divorce you immediately. I am a mysophobe and cannot tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. My man can only have me in his life. If you dare to take a concubine, there are only two outcomes: divorce or become a widow. It's up to you."

She didn't care about what happened between him and the original owner in the past because they were a normal couple.

But now it's her, she will never tolerate other women sharing a man with her.

Gu Huaijin: "..."

It seems that she still cares about me, otherwise why would she be jealous?

She can't tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes and she only wants him as her man in this life.

Thinking of this, Gu Huaijin was in a good mood. "Who said I want to take Li Dongmei as a concubine? Am I the kind of person who would sell myself for something?"

Xia Wanwan looked at him carefully from head to toe, finding his smile somewhat elusive. "You certainly don't look like someone who would sell himself for something, but the same can't be said about concubines. Who knows if you've ever thought about taking one? After all, men like fresh young girls, especially those who haven't married or had children yet. Aren't they your favorites?"

In this era of food shortage, as long as men are not starving to death, many men have three wives and four concubines. For example, the village chief has only one wife and one concubine.

Given Gu Huaijin's family conditions, it was already difficult for him to support five people, and he basically couldn't take a concubine unless someone offered him a wife.

But even though he was disfigured, a young girl fell in love with him and rushed to be his concubine.

Gu Huaijin frowned when he heard this, and stretched out his hot big hand to hook her waist. "I'm sorry, my thoughts seem to be exactly the same as yours. Either divorce me or become a widow. It's up to you."

Xia Wanwan: “…”

You bastard, he's returning her words to her exactly as they were.

Xia Wanwan stretched out her jade hand, stroked his chest, and said teasingly, "It's mutual. I'll give you my guidance for the rest of my life."

Oh my god!

His abdominal muscles are really hard. He has been a soldier for seven years and he is quite good at it.

The feel is simply amazing.

Gu Huaijin's thin lips curled up slightly, forming a captivating arc, and his tone was neither light nor heavy, "I look forward to your guidance for the rest of my life."

No matter whether she is truly repentant or is just trying to be nice with a purpose, as long as she never does anything to hurt the family again, he will ensure that she has food and clothing for the rest of her life.

"These things are actually given by Aunt Wang to thank you for saving her daughter. Look, your clothes are soaked. Go change quickly to avoid catching a cold."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. I'll go get the fish."

This time she not only caught fish, but also dug up some wild Houttuynia cordata from the river and prepared to eat it cold with rice.

Xia Wanwan changed her clothes and went to the kitchen. She quickly processed the fish, washed the water spinach, and mixed it in advance.

"It's done! I didn't expect there are wild Houttuynia cordata in this world. I'm in for a treat."

This stuff is everywhere, along the riverbanks, on the ridges of the fields, and in the fields. It is simply inexhaustible.

"Congratulations, host! Gu Huaijin's favorability towards you has risen to 15%, and we are only 5% away from the target."

As soon as Xia Wanwan came out of the kitchen, she heard the system's congratulations.

She staggered in shock and nearly fell to the ground. She glanced at Gu Huaijin, who was making furniture, and muttered in confusion, "I wasn't even with him. I was just preparing fish and water chestnuts in the kitchen. How did his favorability increase by 5% for no apparent reason?"

At this moment, Gu Huaijin happened to look back and saw her, and then subconsciously looked away. She didn't know if it was Xia Wanwan's illusion, but she felt that Gu Huaijin's ears seemed to be red.

Thinking that it might be because the weather was too hot, Xia Wanwan was about to go over to help.

"Bang~"

Suddenly, the door to the yard was kicked open.

"Xia Wanwan! Have you forgotten that you have a mother? You haven't been home for two months."

Zhuang Ju, accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law, stormed in with a show of force.

"Why are you here?"

When Gu Huaijin saw that it was them, his face immediately turned unhappy. He looked at Xia Wanwan and his eyes suddenly became colder.

"Host! This is bad. Gu Huaijin's favorability towards you has dropped to zero percent."

Xia Wanwan: “……???”
