Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 72 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (6)
"As you all have seen, I am now injured and married, and I have no money. Shouldn't you repay what you owed me before?" Sheng Yuan's attitude was extremely humble and polite, leaving no room for criticism.
And what he said was true. At first, they all said they had difficulties at home, or simply gave less money. Now they are in such a bad situation, and his husband was chosen for him by the villagers of the whole village.
And he was so polite; normally no one would refuse.
However, some people have gotten used to taking advantage of others.
“Scholar He, you can’t say that. When did we ever owe you anything?” Old Master Gu retorted.
"If Uncle Gu is unwilling to admit it, then this junior has no choice but to take the land deed and lease agreement to write a lawsuit and take it to the authorities. I believe the government will surely give this junior justice!"
Sheng Yuan didn't want to talk to him too much. Instead of wasting time trying to persuade them to turn back in time, he decided to force them with the method they least wanted to accept.
Not gentle, but effective.
Upon hearing this, everyone panicked and hurriedly said, "Scholar He, we are from the same village, why do you have to be so ruthless?"
The eldest brother, Gu, became even more aggressive, his face filled with anger as he said, "You call yourself a scholar? We're all from the same village, how could you do this? What are we supposed to do? Aren't you pushing us to our deaths?"
Sheng Yuan said, "Uncle Gu's son is engaged to the daughter of the Chen family in the county town. If the Chen family finds out he has a scoundrel in-law, I'm afraid he'll... Uncle Gu, I am a scholar, and scholars are the most impartial. What is due will be due. I have all the receipts here, so even if the officials come, it will be the same. Tomorrow at the latest, if I haven't received the rent I'm owed by tomorrow, then I will go and sue the authorities the day after!"
After saying that, Sheng Yuan took Lin Nan's hand and left.
Nuonuo was still wondering why her host was being so gentle today when she heard Gu Laoda's exclamation as he tripped and fell into the field.
Wow~
You fall like that, landing face-first!
Wow~
He got up, then fell again, landing face down once more.
Nuonuo laughed heartily at his disheveled appearance.
Lin Nan turned around curiously and saw that Boss Gu had lost face, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing that he was happy, Sheng Yuan's mood improved considerably.
He didn't intend to get the money back today. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he took his young husband home.
There wasn't much food at home, so on the way back, Shengyuan bought some tofu and some spare ribs. He didn't buy much, just enough for the two of them for two meals.
The original owner wasn't very good at cooking. In the past, she ate in the county school cafeteria and occasionally went out to eat. Only when she was short of money would she buy some vegetables, cook them, and eat them. The taste wasn't very good, but there was nothing she could do about it.
After returning, Sheng Yuan made a dish of cabbage and tofu, and sweet and sour pork ribs. Lin Nan couldn't stay idle, so Sheng Yuan had no choice but to have him sit next to him and tend the fire.
Lin Nan watched the man skillfully chopping and cooking vegetables in front of the stove. The aroma of the food enveloped Lin Nan. Although she felt happy at this moment, she felt that her husband was wasting too much food, but she did not dare to object.
When Lin Nan tasted Sheng Yuan's cooking, he thought that the dishes were indeed delicious and very juicy.
Lin Nan ate a large bowl of rice today, unlike last night when Sheng Yuan had to coax him repeatedly before he only ate half a bowl.
Because he woke up late, Lin Nan wasn't sleepy, but his eyes were bright as he looked at Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan didn't know the reason, but he had to redo those assignments, which was a bit of a heavy workload.
Nuonuo might be able to handle the modern, fixed data and information processing, but Shengyuan dared not easily entrust it with these articles and poems; he didn't want to redo them after a while.
Lin Nan longed to see her husband reading, but she was also afraid of disturbing him.
But Sheng Yuan reached out and led him to the study.
"Would my husband be willing to help me grind the ink?" Sheng Yuan asked, seeing his hesitant expression. He knew what Sheng Yuan wanted to do.
"I'd like to, but... I won't."
Sheng Yuan placed a stick of ink in Lin Nan's hand, held his hand, and taught him how to do it.
"That's fine then..."
Lin Nan was seeing it for the first time and using it for the first time. He found it amazing and was extremely excited.
Seeing that he was having fun, Shengyuan let go of him, walked to the table, and picked up a pen to write.
Lin Nan played for a while, and when she looked up, she saw her husband writing.
My husband's handwriting is very beautiful, he can't say it, but it's better than my father's and brother's.
My husband has a pair of fair and slender hands. When he holds a pen with force, the veins bulge out. He rolls up his sleeve with the other hand. His gaze moves upward, his hair is half-down, with a few strands hanging down in front. The sunlight shines down from the side. At this moment, he is as beautiful as a painting. The person in the painting is serious yet has a touch of casual laziness.
Even with a white gauze wrapped around her head, the beauty of the picture is not affected.
Sheng Yuan sensed his husband's gaze, and though he didn't show any outward change, he was secretly pleased.
Who wouldn't love it if their partner watched them swoon over their crush?
"Does my husband wish to learn to read and write?"
After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Yuan's voice brought Lin Nan back to his senses.
"Huh? Can I... do it?"
In the village, not to mention young men, even women did not have the means or qualifications to read and write.
Besides, I'm stupid and clumsy, so I probably wouldn't be able to learn it well anyway.
"Why not? Nanbao will know once she tries it."
Sheng Yuan pulled him into his arms, handed the pen to Lin Nan, took his hand from behind, and guided him to write on the blank paper.
Sheng Yuan leaned down slightly, and Lin Nan was encircled by him, her back pressed tightly against his chest. The ambiguous atmosphere instantly intensified, leaving Lin Nan somewhat bewildered.
"'Lin Nan,' this is our Nanbao's name. Have you learned it?" Sheng Yuan deliberately lowered his head and leaned close to Lin Nan's ear, saying.
Lin Nan was completely aroused by his teasing.
"I...I..." Lin Nan saw each stroke of the two characters clearly, yet felt as if he hadn't seen anything at all.
Sheng Yuan, having enjoyed his reaction enough, said, "It's okay if you haven't learned it yet. We'll practice a few more times and you'll get it."
Lin Nan was indeed very clever; after practicing only a few times, he was able to write out the general outline of two characters.
"My husband, I want to learn your name."
Lin Nan preferred to use her husband's name rather than her own.
This person gave him the first warmth in his life, and he wants to remember this person's name for the rest of his life.
Upon hearing his words, Sheng Yuan grasped his hand again and wrote the two characters "Sheng Yuan" stroke by stroke.
“My reputation is far-reaching.” He then added another line of text, saying, “A high position naturally brings a far-reaching reputation, not because of the autumn wind.”
A high place naturally carries a far-reaching voice, not because of the autumn wind...
Lin Nan silently recited in his heart.
Lin Nan practiced calligraphy on the side, but Sheng Yuan's thoughts drifted to the distant past.
He lived alone on the Immortal Mountain of Rebirth for ten thousand years before finally meeting his so-called mother and father.
My father was very kind and always had a smile on his face.
The mother, however, remained expressionless, appearing extremely cold and serious.
They didn't stay with me for long; they were just testing my magic and abilities.
Before he left, his mother left him with these words: "A high position naturally brings a far-reaching reputation, not because of the autumn wind. From now on, your fame will spread far and wide; cultivate yourself on this mountain."
He didn't see them again until 20,000 years later, so that they could go down the mountain to undergo a tribulation. It was only after returning from this tribulation that he found the kitten...
"Husband?"
Lin Nan's voice pulled Sheng Yuan back to reality.
"what happened?"
"What were you thinking about just now, my husband?" Lin Nan turned around and saw her husband staring blankly, and for some reason felt inexplicably flustered.
"It's nothing, just something from the past." Sheng Yuan looked at Lin Nan and reached out to hug his slender waist, asking, "It's getting late, Nanbao, are you hungry?"
Lin Nan did feel a little hungry, so he nodded.
Sheng Yuan and Lin Nan then tidied up and prepared dinner.
After dinner, just like last night, Lin Nan changed Sheng Yuan's dressing, and Sheng Yuan coaxed Lin Nan to sleep.
Around 9 PM, in the pitch-black night, Sheng Yuan watched the person in his arms fall asleep, then carefully got up, dressed, left the room, and headed towards the back mountain.
