Chapter 69 - 69 69 Husband No

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Husband, No! Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Husband, No! In the evening, Chen Jie and Su Yunjin looked at the two ingots of silver on the table.

This was given to them by Wu Zhong before he left, saying it was compensation from the Yu Family.

To be honest, this money was a huge sum for the Chen family, enough to directly elevate their living standards from poverty to a modest living.

Currently, the land prices in Xiantao Village were three taels per acre for dry fields and five taels for paddy fields. This money was sufficient to buy several acres of good land, thus leading a stable life.

Although Chen Jie knew that stability in this era was impossible.

According to what he knew about the current situation, Daqian was like a big barrel of gunpowder, with tensions building between ethnic groups and between the people and officials.

*In such circumstances, perhaps just a small spark would ignite this powder keg, causing Wolf Smoke to roll across the land, opening the curtain to a turbulent era.*

*What seemed calm now was actually more like the calm before the storm!*

However, there were some things he couldn’t say openly, so he took out the silver to see what plans Su Yunjin had in mind.

Su Yunjin looked at the silver on the table, hesitated for a long time before speaking, “Husband.”

“Hmm?”

Chen Jie looked at her.

“Husband, we cannot accept this silver!”

“Oh, what do you mean, my wife?”

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, and the woman thought for a moment before saying, “The Yu Family is willing to pay because of Uncle Zhong. If we pocket this money without saying a word, what will Uncle Zhong think?”

“Even if Uncle Zhong doesn’t care, we must express something, or we’ll be seen as ungrateful wolves.”

“Moreover, many people from the fishery came today to support you. If you don’t acknowledge them, what will they think of you?”

“So, husband, we can’t keep this money!”

Su Yunjin analyzed for Chen Jie.

Actually, Chen Jie had the same thought; money in your pocket is just numbers, spending it is what makes it real, buying food and services is consumption, purchasing a house and gold is an investment, and buying personal favors is the most worthwhile—that’s building connections!

Back in the day, before Du Yuesheng made his fortune, he received a sum of money and distributed it to his fellow townsmen. From then on, he gained a group of staunch supporters, which was how Du Yuesheng eventually rose to power.

The same principle applied; trying to accomplish something big without help was impossible.

The answer Su Yunjin gave him was very much to his liking.

He found himself growing more and more fond of this wife.

Thinking this, Chen Jie

let his gaze linger on Su Yunjin!

Su Yunjin blushed under his gaze and asked, “Husband, why are you looking at me like this?”

Chen Jie said, “I was thinking, what good fortune did I cultivate to meet such a good wife?”

“You’re speaking nonsense again; how am I as good as you say?”

Su Yunjin blushed even more, her heart feeling sweet.

Chen Jie then held Su Yunjin’s hand and said, “So much silver yet we can’t keep it, and you have to endure hard times with me. Sigh~ being with me is truly hard on you!”

“What hard times? Life is much better now than before, and I’m quite content.”

Cherishing Su Yunjin’s thoughtfulness, Chen Jie could only view her as immensely considerate and endearing.

At this time, he gently embraced her, and Su Yunjin, blushing furiously, pushed him away, “Ruirui is still here!”

Sure enough, little Daisy was watching with big, curious eyes, blinking as she observed her sister and brother-in-law.

“What are you two doing?”

Seeing this, Su Yunjin quickly picked up Ruirui and left, heading to the inner room.

Chen Jie shook his head and found the bathing tub. After a while, Su Yunjin came out again to prepare hot water for his medicinal bath.

In this era, boiling water lacked the convenience of kettles and had to be poured into a big pot, boiled, and ladled out with a dipper.

And the stovetop was often low, requiring one to bend over to scoop the water.

Chen Jie stood there, watching Su Yunjin bent over, her graceful curves on full display, perfectly accentuating her figure.

As she worked hard, a few strands of disheveled hair hung by her face, adding to her allure.

Chen Jie wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind.

The little young lady’s body instantly tensed, her whole being stiffening. She could feel the heavy breathing of the man behind her, their heat making her entire body flush.

Gradually, Chen Jie’s actions became more bold!

His hands started wandering.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become unmanageable, the woman grasped the man’s increasingly audacious hands.

With cheeks aflame and a dazed look in her eyes, she said, “Husband.”

“Hmm?”

Chen Jie replied, leaning close to her ear.

“Wait for me one day, my period will be gone by tomorrow, could we wait until then?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie’s breathing gradually steadied, “Tomorrow?”

“Yes, tomorrow.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, I’m willing!”

Chen Jie slowly released the woman, who at that moment of release felt a touch of loss.

She then turned back to look at Chen Jie, who had already begun to disrobe, leaving only his underpants.

Suddenly, she felt a warm embrace from behind.

Chen Jie felt the warmth behind him, sensing the woman’s affection.

“Husband, if you really want to today, I...”

Chen Jie said, “You’ll be mine sooner or later, no rush. One day, I can wait. A woman’s monthly period shouldn’t be rushed, it’s harmful!”

“Oh!”

“But...”

Chen Jie’s voice suddenly trailed off as he turned around, “Actually, there’s another way...”

“Another way?”

Su Yunjin widened her eyes in confusion.

Chen Jie whispered a few words in her ear, and Su Yunjin’s eyes widened immediately, as if shocked, her small mouth opening and closing, her face turning as red as a small iron.

“Come, wife, let me teach you...”

...

After a long time.

The two separated, Chen Jie content, while Su Yunjin, covering her mouth, ran back to the inner room in a fluster.

She now didn’t dare to look at Chen Jie.

Just now felt like a dream...

She wanted to spit it out.

But as soon as she entered the room, she suddenly spotted little Daisy, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“Sister, why are you back just now?”

Su Yunjin wanted to answer, but her mouth was still full of something.

Gulp...

“Hmm? Sister, what are you sneaking a bite of?”

Little Daisy was quite aggrieved; if there was something tasty, why wasn’t she invited!

Su Yunjin wished she could find a hole to crawl into...

...

Outside, Chen Jie sank comfortably into the bath barrel, his entire body relaxing.

As he adjusted his breathing, his state of mind gradually stabilized, but thinking of his gentle little young lady’s earnest efforts just now, a soft spot in his heart was touched.

At the same time, a wildness within him was awakened.

Thinking again of his wife’s promise, tomorrow, right?

Chen Jie really anticipated tomorrow, sure it would be a wonderful experience.

Meanwhile, this promise also reminded him that beauty was fragile. If he lacked the Martial Power to protect her, that beauty could easily become a nightmare!

Especially since a viper had already fixed its gaze on her!

He needed to become stronger, to eliminate that snake!

And to become stronger, he must first become a Martial Artist!
