Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 166 Holy Father, Prepare to Die (15)

Widow Zhou thought that as long as she obediently followed orders and washed Li Shi's clothes, she could leave. But a quarter of an hour later, she realized something was wrong.

These clothes are piled up like a mountain! By the time she finishes washing them, will she even be able to leave the Li family home alive?

You should know that Xia Mingwei put a lot of thought into getting so many clothes!

She not only brought out all the clothes that the Li family could find to wash, but also hired a helper in the village.

Within this month, anyone who paid a single coin could take their clothes to Li Shi's house and have them washed.

Although the villagers didn't know what kind of show Xia Mingwei was putting on this time, it didn't stop them from taking advantage of the situation.

For just a penny, you can free your hands and avoid the hassle of washing clothes! Such a business opportunity is rare these days, so you definitely have to seize this chance to make a profit!

Thanks to Xia Mingwei's efforts, most households in the village brought over their laundry that needed washing. This is why Widow Zhou was so astonished when she saw the mountain of clothes piled up!

Widow Zhou pointed incredulously at the clothes and stammered, "All of these clothes? Do they all need to be washed?"

She clung to a sliver of hope, praying that she wouldn't hear such a cruel truth from Xia Mingwei.

But how could Xia Mingwei let her have her way?

She nodded and said with a smile, "That's right! You have to wash all of these! And since the other party has already paid, you can't ruin these clothes! If you have any intention of deliberately ruining the clothes, I'll have to extend the work period!"

Before Widow Zhou could answer, Xia Mingwei continued, "I remember you said before that you couldn't do these chores. I'm thinking, this can't go on forever! Since you don't know how, let's spend more time learning! The more you wash clothes, the better you'll get!"

Hearing these words, Widow Zhou's face flushed crimson. It wasn't that she didn't know these chores; she was simply using Li Shi to exploit Xia Mingwei, this poor woman!

If she had known that this cowardly woman would one day rise up in resistance, she would never have done such a thing.

But the current situation left her no choice but to resist!

After an unknown amount of time, Widow Zhou's hands were swollen from being soaked in water, but the amount of clothing she had was only increasing.

Looking at the mountain of clothes piled up in the courtyard, Widow Zhou felt like crying but had no tears left to shed.

If it were really possible, she would love to overturn the laundry tub and quit!

But Xia Mingwei would come over every now and then to check on her progress in doing the laundry. This made her want to do it, but she didn't have the guts!

After arranging what Widow Zhou needed to do, Xia Mingwei didn't forget to inform Li Shi of this news.

She stood by the bed, looking at Li Shi lying on the hospital bed, and told her in detail everything she had done that day.

After hearing about Xia Mingwei's "feats," Li Shi couldn't hide his excitement and immediately started struggling on the bed.

But being forced to take a weakening pill left Li Shi feeling powerless.

He wanted to unleash a torrent of curses, to tell everyone that the person before him was a demon, not his wife Xia Mingwei. But his throat seemed to be constricted, and he could only utter terrifying "hoarse" sounds.

Xia Mingwei seemed to see through his intentions, covered her mouth and laughed: "I know you're not convinced, but right now, even a cripple and a mute like you can't do anything to me!"

Hearing Xia Mingwei's mocking words, Li Shi became even more "excited," and his facial expression began to turn ferocious.

Xia Mingwei squatted down and patted Li Shi's face with an insulting tone, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you recover! After all, if you don't get better, I don't know how I'll arrange things for the important matters ahead!"

At this moment, Li Shi felt that fear again. How could he forget? It was this monster in front of him that had turned him into his current state!

If I continue to provoke her now, I'll only suffer the consequences! I need to recover my health first, and then figure out a way to deal with this monster!

Having figured out the key point, Li Shi gradually calmed down.

He thought for a moment, then decided that perhaps he should learn to show weakness first. So, he gave Xia Mingwei a fawning smile.

However, to his surprise, the moment he smiled, a hard slap landed on his face.

"What are you grinning about, showing your big teeth? I've been wanting to get back at you for a long time!"

Li Shi felt a sudden sense of despair, and the smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

He was wrong, terribly wrong! How could he have thought that if he simply showed some weakness, this monster would let him go?

Now it seems that this demon's way of disciplining people is completely irrational and depends entirely on her mood!

Thankfully, Xia Mingwei couldn't know what Li Shi was thinking, otherwise she would have been ecstatic.

In Xia Mingwei's mind, a hypocrite like Li Shi deserved a heavy blow. She would only feel at ease seeing him suffer!

Seeing Li Shi's fierce yet helpless expression, Xia Mingwei felt extremely pleased.

She left the room and went to continue supervising Widow Zhou's laundry work. After all, she was a woman of principle; if you accept someone's work, you have to do it!

After a month of waiting by Widow Zhou, the day finally came.

"The appointed time has come, you can leave now!"

Just as Widow Zhou heard Xia Mingwei's words, she had finished drying all the laundry on the clothesline.

Looking back on the past month, she felt as if it were a lifetime ago. She looked down at her hands; in just one month, her once delicate hands had become red, swollen, and rough.

Every day, Xia Mingwei would wake her up before dawn to do laundry, and all she ate was a simple coarse grain bun. Not only was she not full, but it also made her throat sore. Almost every day, her hands were soaked in icy water. Exhausted like this, she would almost always fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Now, upon hearing the news that Xia Mingwei was going to let her leave, she was somewhat at a loss.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Xia Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled at Widow Zhou, saying, "What, you still don't want to leave? Or do you want to stay here a little longer?"

Upon hearing this, Widow Zhou finally came to her senses. Thinking of the unbearable suffering she had endured recently, she stumbled and ran out of the Li family's gate.

Watching Widow Zhou's flustered figure, Xia Mingwei stepped back into the room.

Unlike Widow Zhou, who ate coarse grain buns every day, Xia Mingwei still made sure Li Shi took good care of his injuries.

After all, according to the original owner's memories, a significant day was fast approaching. If Li Shi was still bedridden, that wouldn't be ideal!
