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

The proprietress immediately curled her lip.

"Tsk tsk tsk, young lady, judging from your clothes, you must have just gotten married. Your dowry plus betrothal gifts must be at least a hundred or eighty taels. You can't even afford two taels of silver to buy a dress? Don't leave any silver for your husband. He'll definitely take it to brothels and drink with women. You'll regret it later."

Seeing the landlady's disdainful look, she asked angrily, "..."

"If all your clothes are this expensive, then you can keep them for yourself. You're not the only clothing store in this town."

As she spoke, she turned to leave, but the proprietress quickly called her back.

"Wait a minute, young lady! I have plenty of clothes here, all kinds of prices. I just thought I'd give you something nice since you're a bride!"

As she spoke, she took out a floral print short-sleeved shirt and trousers from the bottom of the cabinet.

"This set is only three hundred coins."

Lan Zhi touched the fabric of the dress; it was decent, and immediately nodded.

"Let's take this one. Then pick out a men's one, even if it's a little more expensive, but it has to be comfortable to wear."

The proprietress pursed her lips again, muttering to herself.

"She's willing to buy nice things for men, but not for herself. What a silly girl."

As she spoke, she took out a set of purplish-blue men's clothing.

"This outfit is suitable for your man, five hundred coins."

These two sets of clothes cost 800 coins in total. If we buy another set to change into, it will cost 1,600 coins. It won't even cost a tael of silver.

Thinking of this, she pointed to the two sets of clothes,

"One set of each of the same quality and price, but different patterns and colors, and two pairs each of men's underwear and outer pants."

She looked around and asked again.

Do you have a place to change clothes here?

This wedding dress was so jarring that she felt embarrassed walking down the street.

The proprietress pointed to a door with considerable displeasure.

"You can exchange it there, but you have to hurry, my man is coming back."

Lan Zhi hurriedly picked up the floral dress and went to the inner room to change out of her wedding gown.

When she reappeared, she had transformed from the alluring bride into a simple country girl.

After paying, she took the package packed by the proprietress, and without stopping, cut off a piece of meat and bought two pounds of flour, sugar, and other items.

She wanted to make some dumplings or wontons for Nie Yuan, because eating porridge all the time would only keep him alive, and it wasn't very nutritious.

When she returned to the place where Old Wu had tied up his donkey, two villagers who had gone to town to sell eggs that morning were already waiting there.

Upon seeing her arrive, Old Wu invited the three of them to get into the car and then drove away.

Sitting in the car, Aunt Hu looked Lan Zhi up and down, and couldn't help but ask,

"Did you just buy these clothes? I heard the Mo family spent two hundred taels of silver to marry you. How much did your aunt give you?"

She answered without hesitation:

"The money is for my aunt, what does it have to do with me?"

"Huh? Your aunt didn't give you a single penny? How can she be so stingy?"

Granny Wang curled her lip and snorted.

"Everyone in the surrounding villages knows that Cui is stingy. Once she gets the money, would she really let it go? I heard that she renovated the house the moment she got married. She's the kind of person who only cares about money."

"That's right, since they're not his biological children. Otherwise, what good family would be willing to send their child to a temple?"

At this point, Aunt Hu seemed to realize she had said something wrong and quickly corrected herself.

"Girl, don't take it to heart. What I mean is, if you were her biological daughter, she wouldn't be willing to let you marry Mo Ning. You've really suffered."

Granny Wang also sighed.

"That's right, why don't you remarry? I have a nephew who lost his wife two years ago. Although he's a bit older, he's still capable. If you marry him, you're guaranteed to live a life of luxury and won't have to live the life of a widow..."

Aunt Hu quickly interrupted her.

"You're kidding me! Your nephew looks older than Old Wu, and you're introducing him to that young girl? How can you even say that? It would be more appropriate to introduce my nephew to her. My nephew is a government official in Binjiang Town, he's on a government paycheck, he's not old, just twenty-five, his wife ran away, and he has a three-year-old daughter. Even though you'll be a stepmother, you can still be in charge of the household."

This……

The words of these two people left Lan Zhi feeling both amused and exasperated.

She immediately raised her hand to interrupt them.

"Aunties, as the saying goes, it's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. I've only been married to Mo Ning for two days, and you're already trying to persuade me to remarry. Isn't that a sin?"

Upon hearing this, Granny Wang and Aunt Hu were speechless. Old Wu cracked his whip and said smugly:

"Girl, it's truly a blessing for the Mo family that Mo Ning was able to marry you. If he weren't paralyzed, you two would definitely be a perfect match!"

At this point, Old Wu sighed with a hint of regret, while Lan Zhi generously said:

"Uncle Wu, although Mo Ning is not in good health now, I believe that he will be able to stand up again someday."

Seeing her daydreaming, Granny Wang and Aunt Hu both curled their lips and exchanged glances, both thinking that this girl wasn't very bright.

Old Wu kindly drove the donkey cart to her doorstep. After saying goodbye to Old Wu, she had just opened the courtyard gate when she saw Nie Yuan and San Shunzi running out of Mo Ning's room, still shouting.

"Ghost, there is a ghost!"

Seeing the two of them rush out the door, she was surprised. Xiao Xin couldn't wait to take credit.

"Master, they came to humiliate Mo Ning, but Xiao Xin didn't let them into the house. Has Xiao Xin done another good deed? Quickly thank Xiao Xin."

Hearing this, Lan Zhi finally understood that Nie Yuan and San Shunzi had tried to bully Mo Ning while she was away, but Xiao Xin saw them and immediately set up a barrier in Mo Ning's room that no one could enter.

No wonder Nie Yuan and San Shunzi fled the Mo family in a panic, as if they had seen a ghost.

She immediately touched the necklace on her chest and praised it repeatedly.

"Xiaoxin is great!"

Xiao Xin's eyes blinked a few times before returning to normal.

She hurriedly put the meat and noodles in her hands into the kitchen, and then couldn't wait to go to Mo Ning's room.

Upon seeing her enter, Mo Ning stared at her with eyes full of terror.

"You're finally back. Something really strange happened just now. Someone clearly opened the door, and someone was shouting outside. It sounded like Nie Yuan's voice, but I didn't see anyone. Do you think I've been lying in bed for too long and my nerves are malfunctioning?"

She chuckled to herself, then took out a set of clothes from her bundle and showed them to him.

"So you need to go out and get some sunshine. This is a new outfit I bought for you. I'll put it on you now and then take you outside for some fresh air."

As she spoke, she tried to help him put on his clothes, but he quickly shook his head and refused.

"I'll do it myself!"

She smiled helplessly.

"How are you going to do it yourself? You can't move your hands or feet, are you going to pierce it with your mouth?"
