Chapter 43:
These things suddenly replayed in Luo Zhi’er’s mind like a movie… frame by frame, looping continuously…
She could clearly feel her left atrium twitching and aching with sharp pains.
She hated him, but she hated even more that her own obsession had gotten her dad killed!
Luo Zhi’er’s face showed no expression as she looked at Luo Wenzhou…
She said flatly, “This oldest brother, may I ask who you are? Do we know each other?”
“What?”
Luo Wenzhou looked her up and down. Was this dead fatty pretending to have amnesia again now?
“Hehe, Luo Zhi’er, you’ve got so many acts, but too bad… I, Luo Wenzhou, won’t even glance at you again…”
“Hehe, I say, you this mentally ill old bachelor, are you sick?”
“Get lost quick, don’t buzz around my ear like a fly being annoying. I, Luo Zhi’er, am still very busy and have private business to discuss with this young woman!”
“Don’t go crazy here for no reason, fishing for attention!”
“What?” Was she chasing him away?
“Luo Zhi’er, are you the one who’s sick?”
He stared at her coldly, wanting to see through the person before him. She used to hate not being able to stick to his side every moment.
No matter how he cursed her or chased her away, she wouldn’t leave; she’d keep talking to him.
He didn’t believe that even after getting married, she’d forgotten him…
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his face that he was proud of.
Old?
Was he really old now?
It was all those upsetting things that had worried him into this.
Hua’er hadn’t borne any children since marrying him. According to her, it was because she fell into the water and caught a chill, so she couldn’t get pregnant…
He half-believed it, after all, she had been pregnant once, but it inexplicably miscarried midway…
Hua’er also said it was due to her cold womb, and in short, it was all Luo Zhi’er’s fault for pushing her into the water back then…
Naturally, his hatred for her grew even stronger.
Wasn’t this why he was in town today accompanying Hua’er to get medicine and see the doctor?
The silver at home was flowing out like water… Parents grumbled a lot, Hua’er didn’t get along with them… They argued every few days, making him caught in the middle, so now they’d divided the family and he lived alone…
He’d built a thatched shed outside, and his parents said he was disobedient and brought it on himself, didn’t even give him the good belongings, and cursed him for being disloyal and unfilial, letting down the ancestors!
His life these past few years had been like a big opera, and he had no mood to care about anything else. Today was the first time he’d seen Luo Zhi’er since her marriage!
Looking closely at the Luo Zhi’er before him, she wasn’t prettier than before; her waist was even a full circle fatter than before.
It was just that her gaze was coldly indifferent, emanating chilliness.
Those amber-like, abyss-deep eyes blinked, black and white distinct.
The more he stared into those eyes, the more it was like being pulled in by a great force… Then, his heart skipped a beat uncontrollably, and a faint mist seemed to emanate from her body, making her unfathomable…
Separated by mountains and seas, he could no longer touch her!
Why did he somewhat miss those old times?
That little fatty girl following behind him, shouting, “Wenzhou Gege!”
“Wenzhou Gege, wait for Zhi’er!” Was he going crazy?
“Still not leaving? What are you waiting for? Waiting for me, Luo Zhi’er, to lose my temper and beat someone?”
The cold, heartless voice rang in his ear again, reminding him he was dreaming!
“What? You…”
Li Xi’er knew Luo Zhi’er’s inner demon. This man was nothing special, just that, silly girl; it was your love that gilded him…
She glanced at a big stone under the nearby tree and curled her lip.
“I told you to get lost!”
With a light flick of her toe, she lifted the big stone up…
Effortlessly raising it over her head, “How about it? Want me to send you off with this big stone?”
“What? You actually…”
He widened his eyes in disbelief… When did she become able to lift such a big stone? She looked like she couldn’t even hum in protest!
As soon as Luo Zhi’er spoke, the big stone smashed fiercely toward his head, scaring Luo Wenzhou into running for his life…
Terrified out of his wits, fleeing in panic, not an exaggeration; deep down he marveled endlessly.
“This, this fat woman, ugly woman, how is she even more barbaric than before? And she can lift a big stone?”
Luo Wenzhou vanished in a puff of smoke…
Luo Zhi’er patted the dust off her hands. “Scum man, didn’t scare you to death!”
Xiu Xiu stared at her dumbfounded, swallowing… “This big sister, you… how are you so awesome?”
She suddenly thought of something and felt very dejected.
Turning, she prepared to leave too. It seemed this big sister had just been polite to her earlier…
Luo Zhi’er looked at her retreating figure and called out in a crisp voice,
“Hey, wait, didn’t you want to buy things?”
“What?”
Xiu Xiu turned back.
“But big sister, you…”
“No need for more words between us. I see you really need this bird’s nest. Since you have thirty taels, give me thirty taels first. The other thirty taels you can owe indefinitely; pay when you can, if not, forget it…”
She could tell this girl was probably trying to save a life!
Xiu Xiu didn’t know what to say. She’d thought this fat big sister was so formidable that there was no chance, but unexpectedly it took a turn for the better.
Turns out she really wasn’t what she appeared on the surface…
“Mm, thank you, big sister. Xiu Xiu is deeply grateful. I don’t know where big sister is from; when Xiu Xiu’s master arrives with silver, I’ll definitely pay back every tael…”
“Alright, I, Luo Zhi’er, don’t change my name or surname. From Luojia Village in Taoyuan Town, currently residing in Zhao Li Village, husband Li Sanmao. Young woman, come visit in the village when you have time…”
Luo Zhi’er boldly patted her chest… Xiu Xiu’s eyes filled with excitement…
“Mm!”
After some haggling, they settled at sixty taels. Xiu Xiu gave her thirty taels first, owing the other thirty indefinitely… Cash on delivery…
“Big sister, farewell!”
“Mm, go on! Go on!”
But Luo Wenzhou, who had disappeared around the corner, suddenly came back.
At this moment, he poked his head out, stealthily looking at the earlier scene, shock in his eyes!
