Chapter 1768: My Chen Family Can’t Afford Such a Debt
Fang Yong took Bai Yiqiao’s hand, which was cold. “Your hand is so chilly. Are you cold?”
How could her hand be so cold in this kind of weather?
Ning Shu opened the courtyard door a crack and poked her head out. She said to Fang Yong, who was standing nearby, “Fang Yong, can you stop your wife from wandering around my family’s door all the time? Your wife is pregnant now. What if something happens? All the blame will fall on my family.”
“I won’t talk about the ginseng issue from last time. This time, it’s a child, a life. My Chen family can’t afford such a debt,” said Ning Shu bluntly.
“She’s pregnant and isn’t staying at home to properly raise her child. What is she coming to my house for?” said Ning Shu with her lips curled down.
Fang Yong glanced at Ning Shu, held Bai Yiqiao’s hand tightly, and said indifferently, “Even if something happens, I won’t blame you. But, Yiqiao just wanted to apologize. There’s no need to speak so unpleasantly.”
She was speaking unpleasantly? What Bai Yiqiao did was unpleasant, not her.
“Ha, all right, I forgive you. Just don’t come here to hang around.” Ning Shu closed the courtyard door.
In front of outsiders, Fang Yong naturally protected Bai Yiqiao. However, when only the two of them were left, he couldn’t help wrinkling his brows and said, “Yiqiao, what’s the matter? Just tell me if you have anything to say. This makes me very uneasy. Even if you don’t care about yourself, you have to worry about the child in your stomach.”
Bai Yiqiao’s eyes were red, and tears came flooding down. “I’m not feeling well, but you’re still being fierce towards me.”
Fang Yong sighed helplessly and took Bai Yiqiao home.
After that, Bai Yiqiao no longer sought Ning Shu out. After all, no one was a fool. Bai Yiqiao knew that Ning Shu was on guard against her.
She no longer put in any useless effort. Bai Yiqiao had to think of other ways to get rid of the child in her stomach.
Seeing Bai Yiqiao staying at home obediently, Fang Yong was relieved. He took his hunting tools up the mountain.
After all, tigers were not so easy to kill. It might be because the weather was too hot and there was no water, but this tiger seemed especially riled up.
Fang Yong secretly observed the tiger’s condition for a long time.
Now that there was a child to raise, Fang Yong wanted to get some money from the tiger skin and bones.
After a difficult battle, Fang Yong shot the tiger to death. To not harm the integrity of the tiger’s skin, Fang Yong had shot an arrow into the tiger’s eye.
Moreover, he used his fists to kill the tiger.
Fang Yong lifted up the tiger that was as tall as a person and went home. The sight attracted the attention of the villagers.
Chen Li said to Ning Shu, “Fang Yong is so amazing. He actually killed a tiger.”
Ning Shu didn’t have any expression on her face. It was nothing glorious to kill a tiger. She could also kill one.
But, she was a virtuous young lady.
Ning Shu was pulled by Chen Li to see the tiger. The tiger was truly big. The tiger skin was fully intact, and the fur was glossy. It was very likely it would be worth a lot of money, not to mention the tiger bones.
Ning Shu didn’t care about the tiger at all. She looked at Bai Yiqiao instead. Her facial color was pale, and her face was thinner than before.
She was bone thin, and there was an indescribable air of gloom between her eyebrows.
She had none of the tenderness and joy of becoming a mother at all. Ning Shu once again confirmed that the child in Bai Yiqiao’s belly was not Fang Yong’s.
Ning Shu glanced at Fang Yong, who was skinning and deboning the tiger. His expression was triumphant. Killing what was considered the king of the jungle was a testament to his heroism. In addition, his wife was now pregnant.
Life seemed to be perfect.
Chen Li whispered in Ning Shu’s ear, saying that Fang Yong was so amazing. He also wanted to learn martial arts and wanted to hunt, etc.
Ning Shu shrugged with a blank expression. She then turned around and went home to get some medicine. These were prepared for Li Gouzi.
Ning Shu wrapped up the medicine powder and put it in the basket before going to see Li Gouzi.
Li Gouzi had already woken up, but he was still unable to move. Ning Shu didn’t appear in front of him. She didn’t intend to involve herself in the affairs between him and Bai Yiqiao.
