I was sold when I opened my eyes! My sick and disabled husband comforts me every night after he wake

Before turning to leave, she threw him another harsh remark.

"Now there's an opportunity for you to stand up again. If you're not willing to try, you'll be a useless person in bed for the rest of your life."

After saying those words, she turned and walked towards the door without looking back.

She wasn't angry; she just wanted to provoke him.

This man's personality has become extremely humble, and he is also exceptionally sensitive.

He already considered himself a useless person, and he simply didn't believe he would ever be able to stand up again.

That's why he was suspicious of what she said.

She went to her room, intending to write a letter to her brother, only to find that there wasn't even a piece of paper.

After thinking it over, she finally realized that Tang Jun was a scholar, and there must be letter paper in his house.

She got up and went out, but she didn't know the way to Tang Jun's house, so she thought she would ask someone in the village for directions.

As she passed by Wu Erniang's house, Wu Erniang asked curiously:

"Mo family daughter-in-law, where are you going? I heard you actually took two taels of silver from that miserly family? You're really amazing."

She glanced at Wu Erniang and asked curiously,

"I heard the village chief's wife is your sister, how can you say such things about her?"

Wu Erniang hurriedly waved her hand.

"Don't say that. She's the village chief's wife, she's very high-ranking. How could I dare to try and climb up to her?"

Lan Zhi could sense from her tone that there seemed to be discord between the sisters.

However, this was not what she wanted to care about.

"Wu Erniang, where does Scholar Tang live?"

Wu Erniang looked at her with great curiosity.

"You're looking for Scholar Tang? What do you want with him? Oh, right, I heard Scholar Tang brought you some pastries this morning. Wow, it's so convenient for a woman to be pretty. That Scholar Tang is usually so arrogant and unapproachable, tsk tsk tsk!"

Tang Jun had just brought her some osmanthus cakes this morning, and it's only noon now, how did Wu Erniang find out?

There really can't be any secrets in this village. It seems I really need to be careful when interacting with people in the future, lest I be the subject of rumors.

As Wu Erniang's words became increasingly unpleasant, Lan Zhi smiled helplessly.

"Wu Erniang, no wonder you and your own sister are enemies. With that mouth of yours, I bet only you don't hate it!"

Leaving those words behind, she turned and left, while Wu Erniang, quite indignant, called out after her:

"How dare you talk like that? What's wrong with my mouth? I'm right, aren't I? You've only been here for two days, and you've already made all these young and old men in the village uneasy. And you still have the nerve to criticize me?"

Lan Zhi suddenly turned around and looked at her, which startled her so much that she quickly shrank back and ran into the yard.

There are plenty of gossipy women like that in the village. Even if she says something unpleasant, Lan Zhi doesn't want to argue with her. She doesn't want to be mistaken for a woman who likes to curse as soon as she arrives.

Just then, a pretty young woman walked towards them. She quickly went up to her and asked...

"Young lady, how do I get to Scholar Tang's house?"

The woman paused for a moment, then pointed forward.

"Turn left at the next intersection, then turn right, and it's at the far east end."

At this point, she simply shook her head.

"Alright, I'm free right now anyway, I'll take you there!"

"That's great, thank you so much."

"Don't mention it. By the way, you're a member of the Mo family, right? Your surname is Ling? I've only heard people say you're beautiful, and you really are."

Lan Zhi smiled somewhat shyly.

"Whether something looks good or not is just what people say; it doesn't put food on the table."

"That's different. If you're good-looking, men will like you."

At this point, she suddenly looked at her.

"Um, I wanted to ask you, does Nie Yuan always come to see you?"

Nie Yuan?

She nodded.

"I was here this morning."

Xiangxiu's expression changed drastically. Lanzhi seemed to realize something and asked softly,

"You and Nie Yuan?"

Xiangxiu hurriedly waved her hand to explain.

"No... there's nothing between us. He's the village chief's son and will definitely take over as village chief in the future. Why would he be interested in me?"

She sounded somewhat disappointed as she said this, but Lan Zhi quickly denied it.

"You have a very good appearance. Whoever marries you will not lose out. Why do you look down on yourself like this? In my opinion, it's because you don't like him."

Xiangxiu suddenly looked up at her.

"Miss Ling, is that really what you think?"

Lan Zhi nodded without hesitation.

"That's right. Although you're not particularly outstanding in appearance, you have a blessed look on your face. You're sure to find a good husband in the future. I'm sure I'm right about people."

Xiangxiu lowered her head, her eyes dim.

"You make it sound nice, but the Nie family just doesn't like me. Aunt Nie even said I have a bitter face..."

"She's talking nonsense! You clearly have an oval face, how could she call it a bitter gourd face? If you believe me, don't like that Nie Yuan, he's just a playboy..."

“Miss Ling…”

Xiangxiu interrupted her.

"I just think Nie Yuan is a good person. Don't say that about him. He's not a bad person at all."

This……

It seems that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. With Nie Yuan's appearance and way of doing things, Xiangxiu actually thinks he's good.

However, she couldn't say much about other people's business.

Xiangxiu pointed to a towering lintel and said:

"This is the home of Scholar Tang."

what?

She originally thought that since Tang Xiucai had no mother and his clothes were old, his family must be very poor.

Unexpectedly, his courtyard was quite grand, unlike that of a poor family.

Seeing her surprise, Xiangxiu explained:

"It is said that Tang Xiucai's father was a businessman who had amassed a lot of wealth. This mansion is even better than the government office in the city. It must have cost a lot of money just to build this mansion."

At this point, she looked around, then leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

"However, I also heard that his father used to be a notorious bandit, but now he has retired from the life of a bandit and bought a piece of land in our village, built a house, and even took three concubines. He has a large number of servants, all of whom are extremely skilled in martial arts. It is not easy for anyone to enter his house. Even Village Chief Nie is wary of the Tang family. Since you are new here, I must warn you not to provoke his family. That Tang scholar is a rather stubborn person. He is ashamed of his father's behavior, so his relationship with his father has always been bad. It is said that the father and son often quarrel."

Hearing this, Lan Zhi gasped. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have come to Tang Xiucai for a piece of scrap paper.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the Tang family's gate and gave an awkward smile.

"Let's go back!"

Xiangxiu asked in surprise,

"Aren't you going to see Scholar Tang anymore?"

She shook her head.

"It's nothing serious, I just heard he's going to the capital tomorrow and I wanted him to take a letter to my brother. We'll talk about it tomorrow!"

After speaking, she prepared to leave, just then Tang Jun opened the door, saw her, and hurriedly called out,

"Miss Ling, what brings you here?"

She quickly replied:

"Didn't I tell you this morning that I wanted you to send a letter to my older brother? But I don't have any stationery at home, so I thought I'd come and ask if you had any here."
