Chapter 95: The Mighty Warrior
"So satisfied." Si Xiaohui nodded briskly. Living in a three-room tiled house in the city, with a small yard, if this isn’t satisfying, then what else could be? Living in the royal palace?
A house she couldn’t even dare to dream of, she’d be willing to give up a few years of her life to live here.
It would be so nice if she could bring her mom and her younger brother here. The house back home leaks when it rains, and it has such a heavy smell of earth; it’s not pleasant at all. Every time it rains and the house starts to leak, she thinks, once she gets married, she has to find a good home. She definitely can’t marry into a family in the same condition as hers.
Honestly, she was truly terrified of being poor anymore.
Living on mixed grain noodles and sleeping in a muddy house, whoever likes it can enjoy that life. She doesn’t want any of it. Initially, her entire hope of changing her destiny was placed on getting married. But she didn’t expect it to happen so soon, even before she got married.
"Aren’t you afraid of living here alone at night?" Tong Yao was also rather satisfied with this small courtyard, but she was worried that Si Xiaohui would be afraid to live here alone at night.
"What is there to be scared of? During the busy farming season, my mom and brother would work overnight, and I would sleep at home alone without any fear. I’m not scared at all in the city, which is brightly-lit. Even if this house was full of ghosts, I would still live here." Si Xiaohui was afraid that Tong Yao might change her mind and not rent it anymore. She turned to Tong Yao and coquettishly said, "Sister-in-law, can you please rent this! I promise to listen to you in future, might never argue with you, and do whatever you ask."
Just so she could live in this house, Si Xiaohui would even dare to climb up a knife mountain or go down to a sea of flames.
"Act normally." Tong Yao was made uncomfortable by her coquettish behavior, "Your brother should come over to accompany you for a few days at night to let others know there’s a man here, so they wouldn’t dare to have any bad intentions."
If it doesn’t work, she could just hang a few men’s clothes in the yard. Since a girl is living here, safety measures must be in place. She didn’t want to do something out of kindness but end up causing trouble.
