Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

The village chief walked to the courtyard gate, watched her walk further and further away, and sighed: "What a promising child. It's a pity she's not a boy, otherwise she would be the pride of our village."

"Don't you think so, wife? It's true that you have to marry a smart wife so that the children you have will be smart too. If Da Niu hadn't made a mistake back then, his wife wouldn't have died."

"It would be so nice to have another smart boy."

The village chief's wife rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Don't say that. If that girl hears it, she'll be unhappy again. I heard from her uncle that it's getting even weirder now."

"He said he was going to have a bloody disaster, and then his head was hit. Luckily, it was only thrown from the second floor. If it had been thrown from a higher floor, his head would have been cracked open."

"Really?"

The village chief looked at her in surprise, not expecting this to be the case.

The village chief's wife nodded: "That's right. Anyway, it's best if you don't meddle in so much things, and stay away from that strange girl. She's not someone we can mess with."

"Just see her off politely. If she wants to build a house, let her build it. Just don't offend her."

"Yeah, that's right."

Li Fumei went straight back to the hospital ward and started doing her homework in the corner. Anyway, her father had a caregiver to take care of him, so she didn't need to put in much effort. If he was disobedient, she could just slap him a few times.

Li Daniu struggled at first, but he couldn't move his hands and feet. After being beaten many times, he became much more obedient. There was nothing he could do; when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

He's not out of his mind, does he not know that being beaten hurts? His face is swollen, and he hurts all over. This brat is really too cruel, she doesn't have her mother's gentleness at all.

The man with the lisp said, "You should learn from your mother. She was so gentle when she was alive. I don't know who you learned it from. You're like a heartless machine, so unlikable."

Li Fumei glanced at him and said coldly, "She died because she was gentle. I'm a machine, but I'm alive. That's reality, isn't it? Good people don't live long, but bad people don't die."

Li Daniu pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "That's because she's not good enough. Everyone else has children but not like her. She's just unlucky. Otherwise, our family would definitely be living a better life now."

"Oh, so you want to see my mother again?"

"...Huh? What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother has already been reincarnated. Where am I supposed to see your mother?"

Li Fumei grinned, a smile that sent chills down one's spine: "It's alright, I'll find a way to let you see my mother."

"Ah Da, go buy some mushroom rice, not too cooked, the kind that lets people see little people. My dad hasn't seen my mom in years, I want him to see her."

Bodyguard: "...Yes, Miss."

Li Daniu: "No, what are you trying to do, you brat?"

"Nothing much. It was you who asked for it. I'm just fulfilling your wish. Don't worry, others might be suspicious of me. I have a way to let you see my mother."

"No, I don't want to see your mother. She's already been reincarnated. Why are you making such a fuss? You're not some kind of evil spirit, are you? You're not like a normal girl at all."

Li Fumei ignored his nagging and focused on writing the exam paper.

Not long after, the bodyguard returned with mushroom rice and handed it to the caregiver to feed.

Li Daniu shook his head frantically, his eyes filled with resistance: "No, I won't eat this! You brat, are you trying to torture me? I'm your own father! How could you give me poisonous mushrooms to eat?"

"It's alright, don't risk your life. You can eat your food and still see my mother, isn't that great?"

"you you……"

The caregiver didn't care about anything else. She held the bowl and spoon and fed him. If he didn't eat, she would hit him until he was willing to eat. Soon, he finished a bowl of rice.

Li Daniu gagged twice, wanting to vomit but unable to. He then saw that damned girl slowly walking over, muttering something, stuffing a purse into his body and sticking a yellow paper on it.

Before he could speak, the scene before him changed. In a daze, he saw a young woman smiling at him. Before he could take a second look, the scene from that day reappeared, with the woman pleading desperately.

His face gradually contorted into a grimace. Blood, blood everywhere, made Li Daniu's face turn pale inch by inch as he stared in disbelief at what was before him.

She shouted, "No, I don't want to see her! Fu Mei's father was wrong! Get her away from me right now! She's a devil, a devil!"

Li Fumei watched him struggle and just stood by. It was a rare opportunity for him to come back, so naturally she wanted to make things as much as possible. It was unfair that his mother got up so early and he was living a life of luxury.

"Stop shouting. What's there to be afraid of? My mother is your wife. She's been with you for several years, and you'll be buried together in the future. What are you afraid of? Or is it that you feel guilty towards my mother?"

"I, I didn't do anything. It was your mother's body that was weak at that time. Other people's childbirth was fine, but who knew she would have a massive hemorrhage."

Li Daniu cried out in despair, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! I really did go to borrow money to save your life, but when I came back, I had a drinking problem and I couldn't control myself..."

Li Fumei squinted closer and continued to ask, "And then, you got drunk and fell asleep, leaving my mother at home where she bled to death, is that what you mean?"

“I was wrong. I didn’t know it was that serious at the time. I really thought she could pull through. I even told her that if she could get through it, I would treat her well in the future.”

"Who knew she was usually in good health, but she couldn't make it through that time. She was so useless. Other wives in the village didn't have severe bleeding during childbirth, so why was she so weak?"

As Li Daniu blurted out, he noticed that it seemed even colder around him, and couldn't help but curl up and shiver: "Go away, all of you, go away, I don't want to see you."

Li Fumei frowned and looked at the caregiver: "Give my dad more mushrooms in the future, but they should be mildly toxic and not lethal, to help him quit drinking as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, you'll get your share of the money. Just do as I say."

"Okay, don't worry. As long as you give me three hundred yuan a day, you can tell me anything except murder and arson, and I will arrange everything for you."

"Okay, let's book tickets to go back."

Bodyguard: "So eager to go back?"

Li Fumei nodded: "There's nothing here that I'm attached to. My dad can manage things here. I'll come back to visit from time to time so he can remember this lesson."

"There's no need to waste any more time. I need to get back to school as soon as possible. I don't want to disappoint my teacher during the high school entrance exam. Let's pack our things and head back this afternoon."

"Ok, I see."

Li Daniu was immersed in hallucinations and fear, and didn't realize that she was leaving. He just kept grabbing at the void, sometimes crying and sometimes laughing, which was a bit creepy to watch.

After having a full lunch, Li Fumei bought some local specialties to take back to her master and mistress, and then left the hospital on a high-speed train.
