Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 140 - 141: Old Hui Assists

Chapter 140: Chapter 141: Old Hui Assists

Zhang Baogui scratched his head embarrassedly and said, “Yingzi is really incredible, she even saved me once when we went up the mountain.”

Mentioning this, Zhang Baogui looked embarrassed. After the commune proposed to buy vegetables from the locals and he heard there was money to be made, he started running up the mountain. But he hadn’t really gone mushroom picking before and didn’t know which were poisonous.

If it weren’t for Tong Yingzi’s warning, he almost caused a huge disaster.

Afterward, the two of them went to pick mushrooms together, and Tong Yingzi taught him to recognize quite a few mushrooms.

Which ones were poisonous and what kind of toxicity they had, she knew it all very clearly.

Zhang Baogui admired her greatly.

Xu Ying was also somewhat surprised that Tong Yingzi knew so many mushrooms.

Taking the opportunity to praise, she said, “Sister Yingzi, you’re really amazing!”

Tong Yingzi, being looked at by such a beautiful lady like Xu Ying with those shining eyes, suddenly felt a bit shy and said, “I also learned it from the doctor.

My mom is not in good health, and we had to get some medicine every few days. Our family couldn’t afford to buy medicine, but fortunately, we have a kindly doctor in our village. He taught me to recognize medicinal herbs, then let me go up the mountain myself to dig up medicinal herbs to treat my mom.”

Xu Ying nodded her head, no wonder Tong Yingzi knew so much.

Xu Ying also knew quite a few mushrooms, but she learned them while following her master.

Right now, she pretended not to know anything and learned lots of fungi from following Tong Yingzi.

Zhang Baogui was also very serious, but as Xu Ying learned, she started to drift off, dawdling behind the two.

It can’t be denied, looking at Tong Yingzi and her uncle, the two really looked like a married couple.

At this moment, there were only the three of them here, and Xu Ying always felt that not doing something would be a waste of her trip to the mountain.

The other two were still studying the mushrooms, one teaching and the other seriously learning.

They didn’t notice at all that Xu Ying had fallen a few meters behind them.

Perhaps Xu Ying was thinking too hard, she didn’t notice that a person and a wolf had appeared behind her.

Not until Huo Chen called out to her, maybe because she had a guilty conscience, Xu Ying was startled by his sudden voice, her doe eyes filled with fright, she patted her chest, “Huo Chen, you scared me to death.”

Huo Chen hooked his lips, his eyes softened with warmth, “What are you doing up here on the mountain alone, not working today?”

Mentioning this, Huo Chen’s eyes lowered slightly, filled with grievance.

A few days ago, he had gone to a restaurant to eat and found out that Xu Ying had gone away on a business trip. After waiting longingly for several days for her return, he was told that Xu Ying had gone home to rest.

Enduring his longing, Huo Chen hurried back to the village, but Xu Ying had gone to her grandma’s house.

He could only search along the mountain toward Zhang Family Village, and now seeing Xu Ying, a strange light flickered in his phoenix eyes.

His gaze couldn’t bear to leave her.

Xu Ying saw Old Hui looking lively and said, “Huo Chen, can you lend me Old Hui for a bit?”

Huo Chen nodded, and seeing that he agreed, Xu Ying immediately beamed with joy, her eyes curving into crescents full of starlight.

She bent down and touched Old Hui’s head, “Old Hui, can you go scare those two for me?”

Huo Chen looked toward the two in the distance, the corners of his mouth twitched, he was about to give orders to Old Hui, but then he saw the fellow already wagging its tail and strolling leisurely toward them.

Tong Yingzi and Zhang Baogui, with their baskets on their backs, continued walking deeper into the mountain.

Xu Ying, on the other hand, reached out to Huo Chen with her finger and put it to her lips, letting out a light shush.

Huo Chen’s smile was radiant, like stars in the night sky, lighting up the dark world.

Xu Ying was instantly entranced, her eyes sticking to Huo Chen’s face.

Until screams came from afar, Xu Ying turned around in surprise, her mouth covered in astonishment.

Too embarrassing, just too embarrassing.

Xu Ying’s little uncle was so scared that he actually hid in his aunt’s arms, looking utterly terrified, while his aunt comforted him by patting his back.

Tong Yingzi found Zhang Baogui’s reaction funny. It was obvious the wolf had no intention to attack them, but it had managed to scare him so badly.

She gently patted Zhang Baogui’s back: “It’s okay now. The wolf has run away.”

Zhang Baogui’s eyes were red, and he peeked out from Tong Yingzi’s arms, still looking scared.

After scanning the area and seeing no sign of the wolf, Zhang Baogui’s anxious heart finally settled down.

Turning his head and catching Tong Yingzi’s amused look, Zhang Baogui’s face instantly flushed crimson. Recalling the softness he had felt when he ducked his head, his face became even redder, resembling a liver.

He stuttered while speaking: “Tong Yingzi, I’ll take responsibility for you.”

Tong Yingzi was initially puzzled by his words, but it suddenly dawned on her, and her complexion changed drastically, her dark skin gradually turning red hot.

However, due to her dark complexion, this sudden change was not evident.

“Zhang Baogui, you shameless!” Tong Yingzi shouted.

Zhang Baogui jumped at her suddenly raised voice, then quickly responded with a look of a wronged little wife: “Yingzi, don’t be mad.

I said I’ll take responsibility, and besides, I just grazed you, didn’t do anything.”

Tong Yingzi felt even more embarrassed; this man had actually blurted it out. Looking at Zhang Baogui, she raised her fist and punched him.

Xu Ying watched with fear, wondering what her little uncle had done to upset her aunt this much.

Indeed, Zhang Baogui sported a bruised eye and still wore a pitiful expression: “Then you tell me what to do!”

Tong Yingzi snorted: “I’m not good-looking, and I have a bad temper. My mom is sick, and I won’t neglect her.

If you’re willing to care for my mom and my younger brother after we get married, then I’ll be with you.”

With that, she ran off quickly.

Zhang Baogui hadn’t recovered yet, and she was already gone.

Xu Ying ran over in haste: “Little uncle, what did you say to Sister Yingzi? Why did she run off?”

Zhang Baogui scratched his head, looking somewhat awkward: “I said I wanted to marry her.”

Time seemed to freeze for a moment as Xu Ying stared incredulously at her little uncle: “You’re not joking, are you?”

This was advancing too quickly.

The system watched with the demeanor of someone enjoying gossip: “Not fast, not fast, these two were meant to be by fate, it’s just that your rebirth altered some trajectories, but the destined connection remains.

Now that you’ve brought their fate back on course, these two are together again. However, your little uncle is really something, much thicker-skinned than some people.

Life is so short, of course you should confess if you like someone—enjoy every moment as it comes!”

Xu Ying felt those last few sentences from it were seriously ill.

“Little uncle, so what did Sister Yingzi say?” Xu Ying asked anxiously.

“She said she isn’t pretty, has a bad temper, and her mother is ill. She will take care of her mom and needs to look after her brother and mother even after getting married.

But her temper is indeed terrible; look what she’s done to me, it hurts so much.”

According to the system, Tong Yingzi was capable and highly intelligent. With her by his side, her little uncle’s life would only get better.

She was an extremely good girl, and it was right for her to care for her mother. Why should a daughter who gets married not help her mother?

Even if she gets married, she is still her mother’s child, nurtured for ten months in the womb and raised with great care and hardship.

Anyway, if it were her, she would rather stay single for life than marry someone who wouldn’t let her care for her parents.
