Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Chapter 242 A Stunning "Widow" from a Historical Fiction (32)

Upon hearing the news early in the morning, Li Lin rushed to the town's train station, found a corner to squat in, and smoked, looking gloomy.

The sister-in-law's deceased husband has returned. What will Brother Huo do?

He has already sent a message, hoping that Brother Huo will be able to calm down by then, and that he can at least help break up the fight.

Li Lin rubbed his face, hoping he wouldn't accidentally hurt anyone.

Hey!

He glanced at the sun, then took out a cigarette and lit it, his brows furrowing so deeply they seemed to be tied in knots.

……

After get off work that evening, Wu Tongxue carried the throwing knife given to her by Granny Hua home.

Several familiar dresses were hanging in the yard; they were bought for him by Huo Tongzhou.

Besides that, there were many more clothes on the other side, and judging from the colors and styles, they were all for my own use.

Yan Liang had already prepared the meal and was waiting for us. "Wash your hands and come eat."

He took Wu Tongxue's small handbag, which looked like a toy in his hands, and said gently, "These are all your favorite foods."

Wu Tongxue didn't ask him how he figured out her tastes, and obediently went to wash her hands and came back to sit at the dining table.

Only then did I ask about his disappearance, "Where have you been these past few days?"

Yan Liang handed over the chopsticks, squinted his eyes, and smiled, "You fell into a hole and met a big guy."

"What big guy?"

Yan Liang approached and lowered his voice: "Have you ever heard of monsters?"

Wu Tongxue looked at him in surprise. Yan Liang straightened up and continued, "Later, that monster died, and I came back."

Wu Tongxue's eyes showed a conflicted expression. Why did Yan Liang have to tell the truth? Shouldn't he have made up a reason at a time like this?

"Did you and the captain say the same thing?"

In this special period, if that were really the case, the brigade leader would probably put aside his own family for the greater good.

Yan Liang chuckled in relief, "Just kidding, were you scared?"

As she spoke, she placed a piece of meat on Wu Tongxue's plate, saying, "It just so happened that it rolled down the mountain and was picked up by a doctor and taken home."

Many details don't hold up to scrutiny, such as why they didn't send someone to deliver a letter.

But given his earlier scare tactics, Wu Tongxue didn't want to continue arguing with him.

Where did you get the money to buy clothes?

Wu Tongxue had collected all the money in the house and put it in a small locked cabinet. He had also kept the key safe. Wu Tongxue looked at him suspiciously.

"I didn't collect my salary last month, but I went to collect it today."

Wu Tongxue didn't know much about Yan Liang, only that he was her new husband, and she knew nothing about his work.

"I'll give you the rest of the money and tickets tonight." She said the last few words softly, looking at him as she spoke.

Wu Tongxue kept her head down and ate her food, not wanting to discuss the evening with him at all.

In the educated youth compound, Wei Ruzhu was washing vegetables with a basin in her hand, glancing towards the kitchen doorway as she did so.

Duan Hongyu was tending the fire when she whispered to Wei Ruzhu, "He's acting a bit strange today."

Bai Jingfan wasn't scheduled to cook today, but he seemed to have exceptionally high energy levels. He not only chopped up a pile of firewood, but is now sharpening his knife.

Wei Ruzhu casually said, "Men, they all have those days."

"what?"

"It's okay, let's hurry up and cook, it'll be late."

Duan Hongyu quickly snapped out of her daze and got back to her work.

"White-collar educated youth".

Upon hearing the sound, Bai Jingfan stopped sharpening his knife on the whetstone, looked up, and smiled politely.

"It's time to eat." The educated youth who came to call him touched his nose and pointed to the dining table set up in the center of the courtyard.

The seemingly refined young intellectual in white looked quite frightening holding a knife.

"I'm coming right away." Bai Jingfan stood up, picked up the knife, washed it clean, and put it back in its place.

Wei Ruzhu had been observing him the whole time, and he did nothing out of line. His chopping wood and sharpening knives could be said to be to help the educated youths who were on duty that day.

He was refined and amiable, yet possessed an unapproachable distance, just as he had always been.

Wei Ruzhu ate a few mouthfuls of rice; she really has the patience to endure it.

But the more difficult someone is to control, the harder they are to manage. She has to keep a close eye on them. Don't misunderstand, she means she has to keep a close eye on that sharp kitchen knife.

Wei Ruzhu didn't want to be misunderstood as having improper thoughts about him, and she certainly didn't want that kitchen knife pointed at her.

Men who are obsessed with love are the scariest!

Fortunately, everyone behaved themselves until the lights were turned off at the youth center.

He thought about where he had hidden the kitchen knife one last time before he could go to sleep with peace of mind.

In the darkness, Bai Jingfan lay in bed, his mind flashing through countless fragments of memories.

With one hand behind her head, the faint smile on her lips gradually faded.

Why come back?

After a long while, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she turned to the side, closing her eyes to rest.

……

Li Lin waited until evening, when he finally met Huo Tongzhou, whose face was icy cold. It's no exaggeration to say that Huo Tongzhou made Li Lin feel the chill of winter immediately.

"Brother Huo," he called out.

"Ah."

Huo Tongzhou was tall and imposing, with muscular arms that were quite intimidating; hardly anyone dared to approach him.

Li Lin followed him and they emerged smoothly from the supposedly crowded train station.

"Brother Huo, calm down. Your wife didn't mean it either."

Huo Tongzhou's expression softened. He carried a snakeskin bag in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and walked away easily in a few steps as if he were carrying a small sack. "We'll talk on the way."

Li Lin observed secretly and seemed quite rational, which is good.

On the way, Li Lin recounted the whole story in detail, focusing on how sudden Yan Liang's return was and how surprised everyone was.

"My sister-in-law and that guy definitely don't have any feelings for each other. She disappeared on her wedding day and hasn't sent a word back in so long. Who knows what she's doing out there..."

Li Lin made various guesses, glancing at Huo Tongzhou's expression as he spoke, unsure of what he was thinking.

Huo Tongzhou listened to him talk the whole way, and then threw something at the fork in the road near the Qingshan Brigade.

It's a few large unity bills.

"You've worked hard, go back and rest."

Li Lin was overjoyed, but then hesitation appeared on his face. "Brother Huo, then you..."

Huo Tongzhou glanced at him and said in a low voice, "I know what I'm doing."

really?

Under Huo Tongzhou's watchful gaze, Li Lin left with a mixture of belief and doubt.

That evening, Huo Tongzhou climbed over the wall and landed nimbly and silently in the courtyard with one hand.

He glanced around the familiar courtyard; nothing had changed since he left.

My gaze suddenly settled on the clothesline to the side, where there were not only brightly colored dresses but also men's clothes.

His eyes darkened, and his fingers clenched into fists.

Humph.

He took out an incense stick from his clothes, lit it, and placed it by the narrow window in the bedroom, letting wisps of smoke drift in.

Huo Tongzhou stood motionless under the eaves like a statue, watching the moon in the sky, calculating the time in his mind.

A few clouds drifted across the sky, getting closer and closer to the bright moon.

Suddenly, he moved.

He walked around to the bedroom door, placed his hand on the door, and pushed it open with a creak.

He took a small bottle out of his pocket, opened it, and placed it under Wu Tongxue's nose.

Ten seconds later, Wu Tongxue woke up.

Huo Tongzhou sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze sweeping over the man inside before quickly looking away.

He just stared at Wu Tongxue like that.

Wu Tongxue: "?!!"

He glanced at Huo Tongzhou's face, then blankly turned to look at the other person on the bed.
