Chapter 93 - 93 Someone Will Hear You
93 Someone Will Hear You
Bai Wutong was currently distraught and did not have the mood to deal with him. The moment Chu Tianbao rubbed against her, Bai Wutong flipped over and jumped up. Chu Tianbao was pressed down by her body as she warned fiercely, “Sleep!”
Chu Tianbao felt that it was more comfortable to sleep like this. He could directly hug his fragrant and soft wife and continue to test the danger of going overboard. “Wife, we’re home now. We can give birth to Stinky. Auntie Yang said that she can help us take care of him. It doesn’t matter how many children we want.”
Now, he felt that having one was not enough. He wanted to have a lot of children.
Bai Wutong had never promised him that she would have a child with him. She rejected simply, “No!”
Suddenly, Chu Tianbao looked at Bai Wutong. His bright eyes gradually moistened in the night. He said sadly, “Wife, you just don’t want to have a child with me. You lied to me.”
How could coaxing him be considered a lie!
Bai Wutong was about to explain when she heard Chu Tianbao’s heartbroken sobs. She panicked and touched him with her hand. Her palm was wet.
In the past, Chu Tianbao would at most shed two tears when he pretended to cry. But this time, it was like a flood that could not be stopped.
Bai Wutong hurriedly wiped his face with the corner of the blanket and coaxed softly, “Tianbao, don’t cry, okay? People will hear you.” The tent was not soundproof at all.
She felt much quieter around her now.
Chu Tianbao whimpered in grief and indignation. “Just cry.” He had held it in just now, but now he simply started bawling.
It was impossible for anyone not to hear such a huge commotion.
Bai Wutong was angry too. She sat on him and crossed her arms. “Then cry. I’ll see how long you can cry!”
Chu Tianbao shouted, “Wife, you lied to me. You said you wanted to…”
How could others hear these words? Bai Wutong really had no way to deal with him. She suddenly covered his mouth. “Don’t speak so loudly!”
“Wuwuwuwu—” Chu Tianbao was still bawling with his mouth covered. He wanted to let the world know that Bai Wutong was unwilling to have children with him.
Bai Wutong could already imagine Auntie Yang and the others kindly coming to persuade her.
She really didn’t feel good seeing Chu Tianbao crying so sadly either.
Bai Wutong softened her tone and tried to coax him. “I know you want Stinky, but I am not feeling well. I can’t give birth to Stinky now.”
Chu Tianbao’s cries stopped abruptly. Bai Wutong tried to put his hand down. He sobbed and said, “If my wife is not feeling well, Tianbao can give birth to Stinky.”
Bai Wutong gritted her teeth and whispered into his ear, “Only I can give birth. You can’t!”
Chu Tianbao was stunned and revealed an aggrieved expression. He felt sorry for not being able to give birth himself.
Bai Wutong pinched his high nose bridge and said angrily, “Really, I’m not lying to you.”
Since his wife was not feeling well and not because he was stupid, the big hole in Chu Tianbao’s heart was sewn up immediately and he hugged Bai Wutong.
Bai Wutong suddenly fell into his arms, and Chu Tianbao’s deep voice, which had cried until it was hoarse, sounded in her ears. “Wife, you have to recover quickly.”
Bai Wutong’s heart warmed. When she reached out to comfort him, she heard Chu Tianbao say, “Then we can give birth to many, many Stinkys.”
“…”
The next morning, Bai Wutong did not need to look carefully to notice everyone’s gazes.
Bai Wutong ate her breakfast uncomfortably. When she wanted to go to the forest to walk with Chu Tianbao, a dark guard suddenly reported, “A team of 500 people is approaching us.”
Bai Wutong’s eyes darkened. “Who is it? The government?” She was worried that Village Chief Wang had gone to the government to report Qingfeng for injuring them.
The dark guard said, “Probably not. They’re all martial artists.”
It was already good enough that ordinary bailiffs knew some martial arts.
Just as Bai Wutong was feeling puzzled, Sheng Huaixuan suddenly said, “It’s probably my people who are sending us food. However, I didn’t expect them to arrive earlier than I expected.” Then, he suddenly looked at Cui Shiji and said apologetically, “Otherwise, there’s no need for Patriarch Cui to send someone to Ping Yang to borrow food.”
Hearing Sheng Huaixuan’s words, everyone’s nervous expressions suddenly relaxed. Then, they revealed joy. There was food!
Cui Shiji smiled and said, “Brother Sheng, you have foresight. There’s no need to feel bothered.”
Bai Wutong secretly glanced at Sheng Huaixuan. He was probably referred to as a cunning rabbit digging three burrows for itself.
It was really impressive that he could arrange for someone to send food over in advance even though his assets were gone.
As everyone cut down the trees, they craned their necks to wait for Sheng Huaixuan’s men to arrive.
After a while, the 500-man team reported by the dark guard finally appeared at the corner of the mountain.
Everyone looked excited, but when they saw that the 500-people team was not carrying any food, they immediately deflated.
There were so many people here. Could it be that they only had two handfuls of rice in their pockets for their master to eat?
They slowly walked down the rugged path. When they saw Sheng Huaixuan, they immediately bowed and said, “Greetings, Master. We’ve brought the food.” Then, under everyone’s surprised gazes, they took off their heavy coats and took off all the food tied to their waists and thighs. Each of them had brought about 25 kilograms of food.
Sheng Huaixuan smiled and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
There were 500 people. 25 kilograms of food from each person was equivalent to 2,500 kilograms of food. It was only barely enough for so many of them to fill their stomachs for a day.
Bai Wutong’s brows were still furrowed when she heard Sheng Huaixuan say, “There will still be food. Sister-in-law, don’t be anxious.”
Sheng Huaixuan said that there was food and there was indeed food.
Another 500 people came in the afternoon with 2,500 kilograms of food.
Bai Wutong asked curiously, “Where did you get this food from?” It was difficult to buy food even with money now. Otherwise, the Cui family would not have gone back to Qu Yuanxian to borrow food.
Sheng Huaixuan narrowed his long eyes and said like a fox, “The grain merchants of Ling Kingdom have a good relationship with me. At 50 times the price, it can let our friendship last forever in a crisis.”
Since he was so confident, he must be 100% confident that he would not be caught by the government for dealing with the grain merchants in private. Bai Wutong did not ask further.
Even if they could not farm so much food, they could still buy some and hand them over.
With food, everyone finally felt relieved and worked hard to cut down trees and build houses.
Across the mountain, Lintian Village heard the sound of Bai Wutong and the others chopping trees.
When Wang Qi woke up, he asked his father if he had captured Qingfeng and the others to avenge him.
After knowing that not only did so many people in their village fail to take revenge, but they were even beaten up and were so frightened that they did not even report to the officials, Wang Qi lifted his sheets and was about to report to the officials.
Unexpectedly, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Wang Fengjing. “Idiot, why are you going? Do you think our family doesn’t have a long enough lifespan to live? You’re not allowed to go, and don’t provoke those people opposite in the future!”
Wang Qi did not see Wang Fengjing being strangled by Qingfeng and lifted up. He did not understand why his powerful father suddenly cowered and said loudly, “Father, you’re afraid, but I’m not!”
