Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 6
“Sister Xiu Ping, can you help me lift it up?” The voice was a bit strained.
Hearing the movement in the front yard, the thin woman working in the kitchen quickly wiped the water from her hands and ran forward.
There was a large drying rack in front of her.
“Girl, why didn’t you tell me. How did you move such a heavy thing back?”
Ning Qing rubbed her head on her arm to wipe off the sweat on her forehead, and smiled heartily.
“It’s not heavy. It’s big but the distance was a bit much.”
She took a breath and then said, “When I walked to the door, I thought of asking you to help.”
The two carried the drying rack to the backyard. There was a long stool they had already prepared to rest under it.
“Girl, what are you doing?” Xiu Ping asked.
Ning Qing took a rag from the house and cleaned the dust on the drying rack.
“My mother is an expert in making makeup. I want to collect some flowers, make makeup, and put it on the market to sell it.”
After a few days with her, Xiu Ping knew about her situation. She was a woman without a husband.
Xiu Ping was about to starve to death, but fortunately, the girl gave her food and asked her to call her sister. But she still felt wrong and insisted on calling her girl to pay respect.
“Girl, now that the world is not good. Who was willing to spend money to buy this irrelevant thing?” Xiu Ping who had been busy trying to get a full meal all her life, thought that these makeup were things of rich girls. In her view, these were useless things, far less important than food.
And in the village where they lived, every family had a hard time earning money. Who could afford to buy it?
“If no one buys it, I will go to Sucheng to sell it.”
Ning Qing had a stubborn character. Once she was determined, her decision would not be easily changed. Moreover, she could only do this, she knew nothing else.
“Girl, you are a golden woman from a wealthy family, unlike us rural women. I think you still need to think about it more. After all …”
The girl was only twenty years old, and the days to come were long. It was difficult for a woman to live without a husband. She shouldn’t go out. If she encountered something bad, her reputation would be stained.
Ning Qing raised her head and smiled indifferently. She had always been indifferent to people’s gossip. From the day she planned to leave, she thought that the road behind wasn’t good.
“Otherwise, you can make the makeup, and I will sell it. You don’t have to go out,” Xiu Ping said.
Ning Qing pondered for a while. When she had just left the house, a few bad men followed her. A young man on horseback passed by and saw her and asked if she needed help. The filthy men scolded the man and fled.
Thinking of this, her heart jumped.
In the future, she must bring a sharp weapon, just in case.
“Alright, you can go out with me. We are both women, I also don’t need to worry about you going out alone,” Ning Qing said.
Xiu Ping wanted to persuade her, but he had no choice when facing determined eyes.
…
Chen Jili was busy with the business affairs, and it was already dusk. Under the dim oil lamp, his beautiful eyes were tired. He closed the account book and rubbed his swollen head.
A worker pushed the door of the account room lightly and asked, “Will you rest in the office tonight?”
Chen Jili nodded without thinking.
The guy quickly closed the door to prepare hot water.
Chen Jili, who stood up, suddenly remembered the woman. Did she return home? Although it was supposed to be her farce, she was still unreliable. After all, before her parents went to the capital, they gave her to him with thousands of orders.
Thinking about it, he went out.
The man who had heated the hot water returned to the account room. He had long lost the figure of the owner.
He scratched his head, wondering if he had heard wrong.
Back in Chenfu, the house was still dark. It looked so lonely and cold in the twilight. Chen Jili stood in the yard while frowning deeply.
Shen Ma, who heard the noise respectfully called, “Master, you are back. The old slave will go and ask the kitchen to prepare dinner for you.”
“Where is she? I’ll pick her up,” Chen Jili’s tone was calm.
When Shen Ma heard his words, she looked up in surprise.
The young master thought that his wife was just angry with him. They had been husband and wife for three years and he didn’t know anything about his wife. The lady had always been stubborn. Once she made a decision, it would never change easily.
She walked away, leaving no trace of where she was going. The lady didn’t intend to return.
In the past few days, she didn’t give up and asked around, but there was no news of the lady.
She didn’t want her to come back to this place, for a husband who only had another woman in his mind. Shen Ma also hoped that the lady could live a happy life. Leaving may also be a relief for the lady.
“The old slave really doesn’t know where the lady is. When the lady left the house that day, she deliberately didn’t tell me.”
Chen Jili sneered and said in a cold voice, “Go tell her, I will give her what she wants.”
Seeing that the young master still didn’t believe her, Shen Ma knelt down suddenly. Facing the sky with one hand, she said sadly, “The old slave swears to the sky that if I know where the lady is, I must die a terrible death.”
Chen Jili was shocked.
The world believed in God, and would not swear at will.
