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

She simply turned her palm upwards and said without any politeness:

"One tael of silver for one hour, two taels of silver for two hours as compensation."

"are you crazy?"

Sun Changsheng immediately snorted.

Why don't you just rob someone?

Lan Zhi shrugged indifferently.

"How about I tie you up here for two hours and give you two taels of silver?"

"you……"

Sun Changsheng was speechless with anger. After a moment of contemplation, Nie Shuren nodded.

"Okay, I don't have any cash on me. Come to my house to get it first thing tomorrow morning."

Lan Zhi's eyebrows curved slightly, and she nodded in agreement.

“Then it’s settled. You two heard it. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the village chief’s house to collect two taels of silver as compensation for wronging me.”

After saying that, she gave a soft hum and turned to walk towards the door.

Watching her retreating figure, Old Hu cursed under his breath.

"This girl is really asking for an exorbitant amount. Village chief, you don't really intend to give her two taels of silver, do you?"

Nie Shuren sighed helplessly.

"If my son is useless, I'll suffer. Judging from this girl's attitude, if we don't satisfy her, she might take this to the authorities, and then we'll be in trouble."

Nie Shuren agreed to give her the two taels of silver because he was in the wrong.

After all, this was something his son led the charge in, and he wanted to try his best to downplay it and make it disappear altogether.

Two hours have passed since Lan Zhi was taken away, and Mo Ning has not closed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the doorway.

Although he wasn't familiar with this woman, he was still very worried about her safety.

Squeak!

He heard the sound of a door opening in the courtyard, and he suddenly felt a surge of excitement, his eyes never leaving the doorway for a moment.

Sure enough, Lan Zhi pushed open the door and entered. She took a few steps inside and saw him staring at her. She gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"You haven't had dinner yet, I'll go heat it up for you now."

"I'm not hungry……"

His voice was a little choked up. She came to the bedside and reminded him:

"People say that men don't easily shed tears, so why do you cry so easily?"

"Besides shedding tears, there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

"This has nothing to do with you."

She sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her slightly sore neck as she continued:

"A kind person is often bullied, and a good horse is often ridden. In these two hours, I've come to understand many things. It seems that staying here peacefully for two months will not be an easy task."

Nie Yuan and his gang coveted her, and this matter was resolved so easily by the village chief. They will probably become even more emboldened in the future.

"You go!"

After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "I'm leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Don't worry about me."

Is he trying to kick her out again?

She was a little angry.

"Besides letting me leave, what else can you do?"

He shook his head,

"There's nothing I can do. I don't want to drag you down with me. Let's go!"

This……

His words seemed to make sense. Looking at his red, swollen eyes, she asked softly,

"Were you crying while I wasn't here?"

He shook his head against his will.

"No."

"Your eyes are red, and you're still trying to lie to me. Are you also worried that something might happen to me?"

She revealed his thoughts, and he pursed his lips, remaining silent.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, since you're not hungry, then don't eat. I'm really too tired today. I'll clean you up first and then go to bed early."

Experiencing so much on her very first day after transmigrating was really overwhelming for her.

She quickly changed his diaper and then his bed pad. Before leaving, she asked him softly,

"Are you really not hungry?"

He shook his head,

"I'm not hungry, go to sleep!"

"Okay then, I'm going to sleep."

As she spoke, she yawned, went straight out the door, threw away the trash, and returned to the room where Aunt Mo used to live.

Before leaving, Aunt Mo changed her bed sheets and duvet cover to brand new ones. She locked the door, took off her coat, lay down on the bed, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

She slept very soundly, and didn't open her eyes until it was broad daylight.

Remembering that Mo Ning hadn't eaten dinner last night, she hurriedly ran to the kitchen to start a fire and cook.

Fortunately, before leaving, Aunt Mo filled a vat with water for her, prepared a vat full of rice for her, and even chopped and arranged the firewood neatly.

Otherwise, she would really be in a panic.

In no time, the congee was ready, and she carried the bowl to Mo Ning's room.

He appeared to have not slept all night, his eyes were purplish-blue.

She put down the bowl of porridge and asked with concern,

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

He looked at her and spoke without hesitation.

"You should leave now, get out of here as soon as possible."

Come again?

This was the third time he had chased her away.

This time, however, she didn't get angry. Instead, she suppressed her anger and comforted him:

"I told you I'd take care of you here for two months. After that, I'll leave regardless of whether Aunt Mo comes back or not. So, don't even think about kicking me out during these two months. Alright, let's eat!"

After saying this, she went to get the bowl of porridge, but he called her back.

“I told you yesterday that my mother is not coming back. I am no different from a dead man now. Don’t waste your time on me.”

"dead?"

A smile played on her lips.

"When I saw you yesterday, you really looked like a dead person, you couldn't even speak. But now you can open your mouth and speak, which means you are not beyond help."

"Looking like this, every day I stay here is another day of suffering, and I'll only be a burden to you. Rather than waiting to die here, I'd rather die sooner and be reborn sooner."

His desperate gaze touched her for a moment.

She took a deep breath and asked softly.

"If I told you I could help you, that I could help you get back on your feet, would you believe me?"

"Ah!"

He sneered,

“My mother said the same thing, but five years have passed, we’ve taken countless doses of medicine, and seen countless doctors, and we’re still in this terrible state.”

“I’m different from the doctors you’ve met. They don’t have the ability to get you to speak, but I do!”

Although she knew that he spoke up because he saw her being bullied and shouted out in desperation.

But she still took the credit for herself.

Mo Ning sighed heavily.

“I also long to speak, but I face my mother every day. What can I say? As soon as I open my mouth, she bursts into tears…”

Thinking of his mother, his spirits plummeted.

“I hate that I can’t protect my mother and that I have to make her take care of me every day. Now that she’s gone, and the dangers ahead are unknown, I still can’t protect her.”

Mentioning Aunt Mo, his eyes reddened again, and Lan Zhi quickly interrupted him.

"Aunt Mo will come back, and you will get back on your feet, as long as you believe in me, eat well, and don't give up on yourself."

He paused, then gave a cold laugh.

"My mother said the same thing, but she was just afraid I'd starve. I don't want it, take it away!"
