The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Shen Jin felt increasingly bored. He was tired of staying in Qingshui Town. If it weren't for the delicious food at Hongxi Restaurant, he would have wanted to go back to the prefectural city.

And that shopkeeper's daughter in town is really persistent.

Thinking back to how he had meddled in other people's business three days ago and caused this trouble, Shen Jin wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he have to do that?

Three days ago

Having heard that Hongxilou has introduced new signature dishes, Shen Jin decided to go there for lunch.

On the way there, Shen Jin heard a woman's cries for help coming from a dark alley. She didn't want to get involved, but the two women's cries were so pitiful.

Furthermore, the thugs who surrounded them spoke even more offensively.

Shen Jin thought about it and decided to go and take a look.

As I approached, I saw four burly men cornering two tearful girls against the wall, with the leader preparing to undress them.

As a man, Shen Jin couldn't stand such bullying of women. If he hadn't encountered it, it would have been fine, but if he hadn't helped, he would have felt guilty.

Shen Jin snapped his ink fan shut. “Oh, you lot are really bold, daring to bully people in front of your Grandpa Shen.”

The leader turned around and spat on the ground: "Where did this pretty boy come from? Get out of here and don't disturb my good time."

Shen Jin was busy going to Hongxilou for dinner and didn't want to waste time talking to them. She wanted to finish the job quickly and take them down.

He turned to leave, but was stopped by Wang Yao and her servant: "May I ask if you may leave your name, young master? I will pay you a visit in the future."

Shen Jin: "No need, I'm busy eating."

She then quickly left. Watching Shen Jin's departing figure, Wang Yao angrily said to Xiao He beside her, "Is this the good idea you were talking about? Look, he's ignoring me now."

Xiaohe was afraid that Wang Yao would punish her when she got back, so she hurriedly said, "Since he saved you, it means he still has feelings for you. Why don't we just use the life-saving grace as an excuse to get to know him?"

If Shen Jin knew what Xiao He said, he'd probably laugh his teeth out.

Wang Yao was secretly delighted after hearing this. This was good, as it gave her a reason to get closer to the young master!

The four men, who had been beaten to the ground by Shen Jin, fawned over Wang Yao, saying, "Miss, look... we did everything as instructed, could you please give us our reward money..."

Wang Yao took a step back, covering her nose with a handkerchief. It stank! Where did Xiao He find this person? She almost fainted from the stench when she got close.

"Xiaohe gave them the money."

The group left happily after receiving the money, and from that day on, Shen Jin was entangled with Wang Yao.

Just then, a servant guarding the gambling den came to the private room on the second floor to report: "Master, that Miss Wang is here again?"

Shen Jin: "Tell her I'm not here and send her away."

The gambling den's henchmen hurriedly went out to tell Wang Yao, "My master isn't here. He's probably out sightseeing somewhere. Please come in, Miss Wang!"

Wang Yao stomped her feet in anger. She had never been treated like this before. There were plenty of people in this town who fawned over her, but this young master Shen dared to ignore her.

Wang Yao and Xiao He left in a fit of anger.

The feast held yesterday on the day Yin Baicai's house was built astounded the villagers. Four meat dishes and four vegetable dishes—it was quite a grand affair!

Those who ate at Yin Baicai's house yesterday boasted about it to the villagers.

This infuriated Tang Xiaoyan.

He was consumed by jealousy. This shrew must be using Brother Li's money to maintain his image; otherwise, where would an orphan like him get so much money?

Moreover, I heard from the villagers that he hasn't gone up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs anymore. He used to pretend to be honest and hardworking, but now that he's involved with Brother Li Zhe, he's starting to show his true colors.

That shameless vixen, that ugly bastard, that rotten bastard, she's really infuriating me!

Yin Baicai's family is collecting roof tiles today. After setting up the roof beams yesterday, they finished collecting the tiles today, and the work will be completed. They can move in tomorrow.

Yin Baicai was overjoyed at the thought of moving to a new home soon, as he would finally have a place to settle down.

Since Li Mo became acquainted with Huang Yuanyuan yesterday, he has been glancing towards the door from time to time.

Yin Baicai, who was squatting down washing vegetables, saw this and asked, "Xiao Mo, do you want to go out and play?"

Li Mo nodded and then shook his head.

"How about I go to the village chief's house next door and call Yuanyuan over to play with you?"

The moment Li Mo's eyes lit up, it was clear that Li Mo was willing.

Yin Baicai brought some meat that hadn't been cooked the day before to the village chief's house. The village chief's wife opened the door and saw Yin Baicai standing there.

Yin Baicai handed over the items and explained her purpose. Li Hui, watching her little rascal playing in the mud in the yard, smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, come here quickly, do you want to go next door and play with your little brother?"

Huang Yuanyuan said with a smile, "Go on, little brother is handsome."

Yin Baicai quickly brought Huang Yuanyuan over, and Li Mo stood up happily.

Looking at the bamboo ball in Li Mo's hand, Huang Yuanyuan asked excitedly, "Little brother, what is this?"

Li Mo happily introduced them to each other, and soon the two little devils were playing in the yard.

Yin Baicai could tell that Li Mo was very happy. Indeed, children should interact more with their peers.

Li Zhe was busy going up the mountain to chop firewood today. He had burned all the firewood he had chopped last time, since he needed to start a fire to cook every day and the firewood burned quickly.

After finishing breakfast early in the morning, Li Zhe took his machete and rope and went up the mountain.

Tang Xiaoyan, who saw Li Zhe going up the mountain from her doorstep, said to her mother, "Mother, I see that we don't have much chicken feed left. I'll go up the mountain to cut some."

Without waiting for her mother's reply, she hurriedly left the house.

Wenying was as if the sun had risen in the west. Wasn't her daughter the one who hated going up the mountain the most? She always said there were bugs on the mountain, what was going on?

Tang Xiaoyan, who was following behind Li Zhe with a small basket on her back, couldn't keep up with Li Zhe's pace, and soon Li Zhe disappeared from sight.

Tang Xiaoyan hurried as fast as she could but couldn't catch up. When she reached the top of the mountain, she saw Li Zhe walking towards the middle of the mountain.

Li Zhe thought that the firewood outside wasn't as good as the middle section, so he decided to go inside and chop some.

The villagers dared not go inside; they only dared to cut firewood on the outer perimeter, so there was naturally not enough dry firewood.

Tang Xiaoyan looked at the deep and quiet mountains and felt a little scared. Her mother had told her not to go any further in, for fear of encountering poisonous snakes or the like.

Tang Xiaoyan watched as Li Zhe was almost out of sight, then forced herself to remain calm and walked inside.

He walked along, filled with fear, his shoulders drooping as he gripped the sickle tightly.

Li Zhe had just chosen a spot and lowered the rope when he heard a scream from not far away.

He pursed his lips, not wanting to get involved, but fearing that the man's shouts would frighten out the wild beasts deeper in Wutong Mountain.

Grab a machete and head to where the sound is coming from.

Tang Xiaoyan had fallen behind Li Zhe and got lost in the woods. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a snake covered in patterns hanging on a tall, straight tree.

It was about as thick as her arm, and it was sticking its tongue out at her.

At first, Tang Xiaoyan didn't dare to breathe loudly. As the snake got closer and closer to her, Tang Xiaoyan was so frightened that she ran and screamed.

The snake climbed down the tree and followed closely behind Tang Xiaoyan.

Tang Xiaoyan tripped over a half-sized stone on the ground without paying attention.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the snake flicked its tongue and was already at her feet. Tang Xiaoyan was so frightened that she dared not move, her face turning pale with fright.

She held her breath, hoping the snake would go away, but it didn't work out; the snake's head was already at the edge of her shoe.

Tang Xiaoyan shrank back in fear, and the snake quickly coiled around her.

In a panic, Tang Xiaoyan closed her eyes tightly and frantically slapped at the snake that had crawled up her leg.

Li Zhe happened to see this scene. Seeing that it was not a poisonous snake, he strode over and grabbed the snake by the neck.

With a forceful swing, the snake was flung far away.

Feeling that her life was about to end, Tang Xiaoyan opened her tightly closed eyes when she sensed Li Zhe's movement.

With tears streaming down her face, she suddenly rushed into Li Zhe's arms.
