Honey, you didn’t really drugged me, did you?

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Husband, No!

In the evening, Chen Jie and Su Yunjin looked at the two silver ingots on the table.

These were given to them by Wu Zhong before he left, as compensation from the Yu Family.

Truthfully, this money was a huge sum for the Chen family, enough to lift them directly from poverty to modest comfort.

Currently in Xiantao Village, dry land was priced at three taels per acre, and paddy fields at five taels, so this money was enough to buy several acres of good land and thus live a secure life.

Yet Chen Jie knew that in these times, true security was impossible.

From what he knew, Daqian was like a barrel of gunpowder, with tensions building up between nationalities, and between the people and the officials.

In such a situation, just a tiny spark might ignite the barrel, resulting in the smoke of war and the opening of chaotic times.

What seemed peaceful now was more like the calm before a storm!

However, there were some things he couldn’t just say, hence he took out the silver to see what Su Yunjin planned.

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

“Yes?”

Chen Jie looked at her.

“Husband, we can’t accept this silver!”

“Oh, wife, what do you mean?”

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin, who thought for a moment and said, “The Yu Family is willing to pay, and that’s Uncle Zhong’s doing. If we just pocket the money silently, what will Uncle Zhong think?”

“Even if Uncle Zhong doesn’t mind, we can’t just accept it without showing some gratitude. Otherwise, aren’t we ungrateful?”

“Also, many people from the fishery were there 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 it for Chen Jie.

Actually, Chen Jie also had this thought; money in one’s pocket is just numbers, but spending it is what makes it real—spending on food and services is consumption, buying houses and gold is investment, but spending on relationships is the most worthwhile, that’s a career!

When Du Yuesheng hadn’t made his fortune yet, he received a sum of money and shared it with his fellow villagers, earning a group of loyal supporters who helped him rise to power.

The same principle applied; he couldn’t achieve great things without people’s support.

Su Yunjin’s answer pleased him greatly.

He was growing more fond of his wife by the day.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie

let his gaze linger on Su Yunjin!

Feeling his intense look, Su Yunjin’s face blushed and she asked, “Husband, why are you looking at me like that?”

Chen Jie said, “I am wondering, what good deeds did I do to deserve such a wonderful wife like you.”

“Stop it, I’m not as good as you say.”

Su Yunjin’s face turned crimson, feeling very pleased inside.

At that moment, Chen Jie took Su Yunjin’s hand and said, “So much silver, yet it can’t stay, and I’m making you endure hardship, sigh~ following me has really made you suffer!”

“It’s not a hardship, life now is much better than before. I am quite content.”

Chen Jie thought only about how considerate and charming Su Yunjin was.

Then he gently embraced her, causing her to blush and push him away, “Ruirui is still here!”

Indeed, Daisy was staring with big, curious eyes at her sister and brother-in-law.

“What are you two doing?”

Seeing this, Su Yunjin quickly carried Ruirui away to the inner room.

Chen Jie shook his head, found a bathtub, and soon Su Yunjin came out again to prepare the hot water for his medicinal bath.

In this era, there were no kettles, only big pots to boil water, and then water had to be scooped out with a ladle.

And since the stoves were often very low, one had to bend down to scoop out the water.

Chen Jie stood there, watching Su Yunjin bending over, her exquisite curves displayed to full effect, voluptuous and enticing.

Her hair was slightly disheveled from working, falling onto her cheeks, adding to her allure.

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

The little young lady instantly tensed, her whole body stiffening as she could feel the heavy breathing of a man behind her, the heat making her also feel fervently warm.

Gradually, Chen Jie’s actions became increasingly audacious!

His hands began to wander restlessly.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become uncontrollable, the woman grabbed the man’s increasingly presumptuous hand.

Her cheeks were burning hot, her eyes hazy as she said, “Husband.”

“Hmm?”@@novelbin@@

Chen Jie responded close to her ear.

“Wait for me one day, my period will end tomorrow, let’s not today, okay?”

Chen Jie gradually stabilized his breathing and said, “Tomorrow?”

“Mm, tomorrow.”

“Are you sure?”

“Mm, I am willing!”

Chen Jie slowly released the woman, and she felt a sense of loss the moment he let go.

Then, looking back at Chen Jie, she noticed he had already started to undress, leaving only his underpants.

Suddenly, she felt a soft warmth rush up from behind.

Chen Jie felt the warmth and the affection from the woman.

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

Chen Jie said, “You are mine sooner or later, no hurry, I can wait one more day. A woman’s period shouldn’t be taken lightly; it could harm your health!”

“Oh!”

“But…”

As soon as Chen Jie spoke, he suddenly turned around and said, “Actually, there’s another way…”

“Another?”

Su Yunjin widened her eyes in confusion.

Leaning close, Chen Jie whispered a few words in her ear, and Su Yunjin’s eyes widened in shock, her small mouth opening and closing, her little face as red as a hot iron.

“Come, wife, let me show you…”

…

After a long while.

The two separated, Chen Jie was thoroughly satisfied, while Su Yunjin covered her mouth, running frantically back to the inner room.

She could hardly bear to look at Chen Jie now.

It felt like a dream…

She wanted to spit it out.

But just as she entered the inner room, she was surprised to find a sleepy Daisy.

“Sister, why have you just come back?”

Su Yunjin wanted to respond, but her mouth was still full.

Gulping…

“Hmm? Sister, what are you sneaking to eat?”

Daisy felt indignant, wondering why she wasn’t called for a treat!

Su Yunjin wished she could just disappear…

…

Outside, Chen Jie comfortably slipped into a bathing tub, his pores opening from the pleasant heat.

As he regulated his breath, his mind gradually calmed, but thinking of his tender young lady’s vigorous effort just now, a softness stirred within him.

And a wildness awakened.

Thinking of his wife’s promise for tomorrow?

Chen Jie was truly looking forward to tomorrow; it would surely be a delightful experience.

Yet, this delight also reminded him that it was fragile, and if he wasn’t strong enough to protect her, this delight could turn into a nightmare!

Especially since a venomous snake was already targeting her!

He must become stronger and eliminate that venomous snake!

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