Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Suffering

Inside the house

A man and a woman were sitting together, talking…

Woman: “These past few days, that old hag from the Mo family has been keeping a close eye on me, I can’t get away.”

The man’s voice was rough: “You could use the excuse of going to the market.”

“Since Madam Xie was divorced by her husband, all the housework has fallen to me, when do I have time to step out? Look, all ten of my fingers have gotten rough.”

“Oh dear, that’s pitiable.”

“Isn’t it? My days at the Mo family have been tough. I thought that marrying a decent person would mean a normal life, but look what’s happened.”

“Who told you to be someone else’s concubine, you’re bound to be aggrieved.”

“Ah, let’s drop it, the more we talk the angrier I get.”

Outside the window, Xuexue saw that it indeed was Butcher Yu and Auntie Sun speaking quietly together inside the house.

Big Bull, imitating Xuexue, poked a hole in the window and peered inside with one eye squinted, saying, “Wifey, what are they doing?”

“Who knows? Let’s watch and find out.”

“Oh, isn’t that your second mother?”

“Yeah, that’s her!”

“What are the two of them, a lonesome man and a widowed woman, doing in the house?”

“I don’t know, that’s why we’re taking a look.”

“Wifey, stop watching, it’s surely nothing good.” Saying this, Big Bull suddenly covered her eyes.

Just having discovered Auntie Sun and Butcher Yu’s affair, Xuexue was gnashing her teeth with hate; unexpectedly, Big Bull covered her eyes, causing her to feel both annoyed and amused, yet she dared not raise her voice in protest.

“Wifey, let’s head home, don’t peek at others.” Big Bull said earnestly.

Xuexue: “Big Bull, I have things to do now, I’ll go back later.”

“What could you possibly have to do besides spying on others?”

“You… stop talking nonsense.”

Big Bull kept pestering Xuexue to leave, which irritated her a great deal, so she stomped hard on Big Bull’s foot and then turned to walk away without looking back.

“Ah…!”

Big Bull clutched his foot, jumping up and down on the spot.

Inside the house, Auntie Sun looked nervously at Butcher Yu: “Who’s outside?”

“No need to be so nervous, we’re near the street; it’s normal for people to pass by,” Butcher Yu said nonchalantly.

“Our affair can’t be known by others, otherwise, I can’t stay in Mo Family Village anymore.”

Ever since Auntie Sun had a fight with Old Lady Mo, her status in the Mo family had plummeted.

Old Lady Mo detested her for causing the Mo family to compensate Butcher Yu with so much silver and for beating up her old maid, making her the laughingstock of Mo Family Village. Thus, she tormented her daily, either demanding this chore or that, making Auntie Sun’s life miserable.

“If it’s so hard to stay at the Mo family, then don’t stay there at all,” Butcher Yu scoffed.

“Would you marry me?”

Upon hearing Butcher Yu speak like that, Auntie Sun’s eyes suddenly brightened; being with Butcher Yu surely beat suffering and toiling at the Mo family.

“…”

Butcher Yu fell silent, thinking, what a joke! Marrying a woman like her would surely make his parents turn in their graves, maybe even rise from their tombs to beat him.

“What’s the matter? You don’t dare?” Seeing Butcher Yu not responding straightaway, Auntie Sun got a bit angry.

Butcher Yu: “Don’t be mad! Things are pretty good between us as they are.”

“Good? If we get discovered by someone, I’ll be back-stabbed and judged. Just thinking about it twists my heart.”

“We just have to be careful, that’s all. Nothing will happen; we’re far from Mo Family Village,” Butcher Yu said nonchalantly.

True, being on his own, he of course didn’t care about his reputation. Besides, in Moli Country, the chastity of women was prized, while there were no such restraints on men; otherwise, why would some wealthy Great Masters have many wives and concubines?
