Chapter 150 The Changes of an Honest Man
Chapter 150 The Changes of an Honest Man
You see bruises all over his skin, it looks exactly like he's been brutally beaten up.
Logically speaking, it's their business as a couple, and she, as their sister-in-law, shouldn't interfere, especially in their personal affairs.
But as a woman herself, even though they often argued, Zhao Laidi couldn't help but speak up when she saw the marks on Li Guixiang's body.
"Sister-in-law, you can't spoil men, whether they're old or young. If you keep indulging them, they'll take advantage of you!"
"Look at my husband, although he's a bit lazy and not very reliable, he's very obedient!"
"Sister-in-law, you can't spoil your brother like this, especially when it comes to matters of the marriage. If it turns out like this every time, what will happen every time?"
"There are some things that men don't understand, but we women can't forget. We can't let them do whatever they want just because they're men, otherwise it's us women who will suffer!"
Zhao Laidi really got carried away and started saying all sorts of things. Li Guixiang, who had just finished drinking water and was feeling a little better, blushed with embarrassment when she heard these words.
Her face was originally very pale, but it felt a little better after drinking the water. After listening to what Zhao Laidi said, her cheeks instantly turned red.
Li Guixiang wasn't angry when she heard those words. She knew that Zhao Laidi was right and that she should do the same.
But she can't resist at all now!
Gu Jinniu has changed. She's different from before. The Gu Jinniu of the past was gentle and considerate, and she was extremely gentle with me, whether at home or outside.
But now, seeing Gu Jinniu makes her feel scared, because every time she sees him, she can see that fierce look in his eyes.
Those eyes were incredibly fierce. When you met those eyes, you felt as if the owner of those eyes was about to pounce on you at any moment, bite your throat, and tear you to pieces.
She dared not look him in the eye, dared not resist him, and could only let him do this to her.
Zhao Laidi had been talking for a long time and her mouth was dry, so she went out to get some water. Just as she was about to go back in to continue talking, she turned around and saw Gu Jinniu returning from outside.
Everyone else's husbands are back, why is she running inside? She glanced at her son at the door, but didn't see the two brats anywhere!
Li Guixiang heard footsteps but no voices, so she lay there motionless.
She recognized the footsteps and knew it wasn't Zhao Laidi. Sure enough, the person who made the footsteps came over and grabbed her hair that was scattered on the bed.
"What was your sister-in-law doing when she came in? Did you chat with her? Did you talk about me?"
Someone pulled up Li Guixiang's hair from the back, forcing her head to tilt back.
Looking at the expressionless, extremely honest face in front of her, Li Guixiang just couldn't understand why she had misjudged him all these years.
"Didn't you hear what I said, my wife? Why are you looking at me without replying? Don't you want to answer me?"
"No, no, we didn't say anything. I was thirsty, and Zhao Laidi came in and poured me a bowl of water. We didn't talk about you."
Upon hearing Li Guixiang's words, Gu Jinniu glanced at the table below the window and indeed saw an empty bowl on it.
He loosened Li Guixiang's hair, then had her lie face down on the bed, and gently smoothed her hair with his hand.
"My dear, don't say anything, don't ask anything, just listen to me. No matter what they say, don't believe it. Just believe me. I am your husband, I am the best person for you, understand, my wife?"
Li Guixiang's face sank into the pillow, and she let out a muffled "hmm." Upon hearing the sound, Gu Jinniu's movements became even gentler.
Finally, he gently asked Li Guixiang if she wanted to eat fish, and if so, he would go and buy one right now.
Zhao Laidi didn't see her son and worried that the two boys had gone to the river to scavenge for scraps. After sitting in the house for a while, Zhao Laidi wrapped herself in her coat and went out.
Instead of going to the fish market, she went to the riverbank, where fish had just been caught and the area was wet, so there were bound to be some fish that had escaped the net.
She thought there would be no one by the river when she went there, but she was surprised to find that there were people everywhere along the riverbank.
They were also there to scavenge for fish. Zhao Laidi searched around the edge and finally found her two sons, who were rolling up their sleeves and looking for fish in the weeds.
Zhao Laidi was both heartbroken and angry. She was heartbroken because the two children were so small, and the Milky Way was so cold that the grass and everything on it were soaked.
These two kids are walking around barefoot in there, just for a few fish. Don't they feel cold?
It's also their fault for being such incompetent parents. If they had any ability at all, these two children wouldn't be here looking for food in the dead of winter.
As for being angry, it's because these two kids don't take care of themselves. It's so cold, what if they catch a cold from doing this?
If you catch a cold, you'll not only have to spend money, but you'll also suffer. Wouldn't that cost even more?
But when Zhao Laidi saw the small fish that had been left among the weeds, she immediately changed her mind.
Once we collect and clean those fish, we'll definitely be able to enjoy a delicious meal.
Gu Jinniu asked Li Guixiang if she wanted to eat fish. Before Li Guixiang could answer, Gu Jinniu unilaterally decided to go buy a fish.
Not knowing what to say or how to say it, Li Guixiang could only nod obediently, lying on the bed and glancing at the man who walked out out of the corner of her eye.
It wasn't like that at all, so why did it suddenly change? How could it suddenly become different from before?
When Gu Jinniu arrived at the fish market, there weren't many fish left. The small ones were all gone, and all that was left were large ones.
The village chief glanced at Gu Jinniu and asked with a smile, "Jinniu! Why didn't you go today? Otherwise you could have gotten a free fish too."
"My employer is at work today, so I can't take leave. Uncle Dafu, how much are you selling these fish?"
The village chief glanced at the fish in the wooden basin, then looked up and said, "There are three more in here, all about the same size, 15 coins each. Which one do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinniu looked at the copper coins in his hand. He only had 13 copper coins, and he was still two copper coins short if he wanted to buy a fish.
He held out the copper coins in his hand: "Uncle Dafu, I only have 13 copper coins. Do you think this fish can help me..."
Seeing Gu Jinniu's embarrassed expression, the village chief waved his hand.
