Demon King's Repayment - chapter 276

Dozens of streamers flew out from Yuan Xiang’s hands, flying in all directions, gorgeous and spectacular. Most of these people were well taken care of by their families and could wake up immediately. Of course, there were a few people who had died like Zhang Lang, so the wandering soul had nowhere to go.

Demons could eat people. There were demons that dug out hearts and demons that robbed souls. There were demons that could use charms to seduce, and there were demons that could only crawl on the roofs of homes to eat on resentment.

That was probably the first time Yuan Xiang had so intuitively realized the indelible contradiction between humans and demons.

When she returned to Zhang’s house, Zhang Xun hurriedly greeted her at the door, and saw his wife come back. The young scholar’s eyes were red, and he reached out to hold his wife.

Considering that this behavior was too embarrassing in full view, he hurriedly took his hand back when he was about to reach Dahua ‘s sleeve.

The fingers that had read only the sages’ book rubbed his sleeves back and forth several times. He showed his sleeves respectfully, and bowed sincerely.

The group was let into the living room, where Dahua’s mother-in-law Zhang Li was swearing at Lin Shi who had just returned. The tone of the scolding was almost to the extreme that a woman could release maliciousness to her own kind.

“With what kind of face do you remain in the world? A filthy thing that had been possessed by a demon like you, why didn’t the demon accept you and return my son?” She pointed to Lin Shi’s nose like that at the end. 

Lin Shi put her arm around her daughter, said nothing, with extreme tolerance.

Zhang Li turned her face to see Dahua entering the room. Thinking that her little daughter-in-law was kidnapped by a demon, she couldn’t bear it, and immediately started cursing. She wished to make her divorce immediately and get an innocent lady to take care of her youngest son.

Dahua closed her mouth and did not speak. She used to be very afraid of her mother-in-law’s scolding. It was just that she had just experienced the ups and downs of the world, and had seen powerful demons. Such stern insults from the mother-in-law suddenly could no longer cause her any fear.

However, Zhang Xun finally couldn’t stand it, and stepped forward two steps to persuade her, “Mother, this…this matter is not Ah Hua and Sister-in-law’s fault. In our town, there were also more than 40 or 50 people who encountered this problem. We can’t say that everyone should die.”

He had always been filial and never confronted his mother. But this time, he held back for a long time and finally spoke.

It was not that difficult to speak. In fact, no matter who a person was speaking to, they should be rational. In the second half of the speech, it was smooth and natural, no longer stammering, and the momentum became stronger, “Sister-in-law and Ah Hua just came back, and they still have to take care of the big brother’s affairs. I ask my mother to let go of her prejudices and let them rest.”

In his family, the concept of patriarchy was extremely heavy. Zhang Li had lost her husband early, and the eldest son had just left, and the only male in the family had become her subconsciously dependent. What the youngest son said was more effective than the thousands of words the daughter-in-law might say.

Even so, she still muttered angrily, “My son, you are spoiling your wife. She will climb over your head carefully in a few days.”

While speaking, she caught Yuan Xiang’s gaze.

Yuan Xiang was already in the guest seat, with Hu Qing and Hu Teng sitting beside her, and three beautiful women with their own features sitting side by side, unabashedly showing contemptuous eyes, watching that farce.

“Look, humans are like this.”

“Hehe, it’s weird, why didn’t Dahua give her an earful?”

The soft ridicule seemed to be a secret language, but in fact it was said without fear of being heard.

Zhang Li shuddered suddenly. Although she didn’t see it with her own eyes, she also heard what her son and daughter-in-law said. They knew what kind of existence these people around Yuan Xiang were like.

Zhang Li always screamed and yelled in front of the juniors at home, but when faced with outsiders, especially when she did not dare to provoke such a weird existence, she was particularly timid.

Thinking that the little daughter-in-law had such a friend, she couldn’t help but shudder in her heart. She did not dare to pour out stinky dung and water in her belly. With the support of her daughter, she retreated to the backyard and cried for her eldest son.

Dahua’s attention was not actually on her mother-in-law. Her curious eyes kept quietly falling on Nan He, Hu Qing and others.

Especially Nan He, ah, that was Aj Xiang’s sweetheart, no wonder she didn’t like Tie Niu.

At that moment, Nan He was sitting on the seat, with a narrow waist and wide shoulders. He had long legs, and looked handsome with extraordinary momentum.

But Dahua always remembered the little dog that Yuan Xiang hugged on her lap the previous day, that turned over to reveal his belly to let her touch him. At the thought of that scene, she almost couldn’t help laughing so much that she had to raise her sleeves to cover her face.

Nan He, who was sitting in distress, felt something was wrong.

That was the first time he saw Yuan Xiang’s best friend in a human appearance.

He quietly checked himself from the top to the footwear.

There was nothing wrong with his clothes, they were meticulous.

Because the Zhang family was still busy with the funeral, Yuan Xiang and others didn’t stay much, so they left early.

Dahua and her husband specially sent them out of town.

Dahua pulled Yuan Xiang with red eyes and said, “Come and see me often if you can.”

“Definitely.” Yuan Xiang said, “Visit me whenever you come back to your natal house.”

She knew that Dahua’s husband’s family was actually very financially struggling. At the beginning, the marriage of Dahua was mostly accepted due to her family’s generous dowry. Now that there were more expenses because of the funeral, it was even more difficult. So she said, “If you face any difficulty…”

Dahua squeezed her hand, “The biggest difficulty in my heart happened to be solved by you. I will take the road ahead. If I depend on others for everything, there would be difficulties. Once I get up, the road will go smoothly.”

“My girl can talk so quickly,” Yuan Xiang said with a smile, “In any case, tell me if you need anything.”

After sending Yuan Xiang away, Dahua followed Zhang Xun and walked home one after another.

In front of her eyes, he slowly stretched out a palm.

“Huh?” Dahua didn’t understand.

The hand lying in front of her immediately shrank back in embarrassment. Fortunately, at the last moment, Dahua reacted and grabbed his hand.

Her palm was held in that cool palm.

“I… I was wrong before, I will change.”

The man walking in front of her said these words, without even turning his face.

“What are you talking about? Husband, wherever you are, I have been happy with you since the first time I saw you, and I looked forward to marrying you every day.”

The hand that held her became even tighter.

Encourage him more, talk more about his benefits, I think he needs your encouragement.

As expected, what Ah Xiang said was correct.

“Husband…”

“Yes?”

“Look at our family, there is no income right now, but a lot of money is spent, I think…”

“What do you think?”

“I think we can not rely on my sister-in-law to weave cloth all day long. Can I rent a stall at the market, do a small business first, and subsidize the family,” Dahua was a little nervous when she said that, for fear her scholar husband wouldn’t like her to do business.

Her husband was silent for a long time and didn’t let go of her hand. He just said with some difficulty, “You are hardworking. From now on, I will help you whenever I have time.”

“I’m afraid that mother will not allow it.”

“Mother, naturally I will talk about it with her.”
