Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 114 - : Maternal Nephew

Chapter 114 -114: Maternal Nephew

“No way around it, to feed the family, we endure the most humiliation. We have to hold it in, don’t we? After all, we need this job, sigh!” another worker sighed.

Madam Xie and the others stood where they were, watching as the figures of several workers from the Great Harmony Restaurant walked away, disappearing into the distance as if it had all been a dream.

“Xuexue, quickly let go of this big brother, he’s about to suffocate,” Madam Xie, having caught her breath, noticed the idiot’s face turning beet red as Xuexue covered his mouth and nose, his eyes almost rolling back, and hurriedly called out.

“Huh.”

Xuexue suddenly realized that in her panic, she was still covering someone’s mouth and nose, and she quickly let go.

“Phew…!” The idiot took a few deep breaths, his complexion gradually returning to normal, and then he cracked a smile and said, “Hehe…! No problem, I’m happy when my wife covers me.”

“Of course you should be happy; I did it to save you,” Xuexue said fiercely, concealing her slight embarrassment.

“Hehe…!” The same silly laughter.

“Mother, we’re leaving, but what about him?” Xuexue indicated the idiot with a nod of her chin.

That day, ever since running into him at the pastry shop, this fool had been following her, insisting that she was his wife for the sake of the portrait he carried, and if they left by ox cart, Xuexue guessed he would follow them to Mo Family Village. Then, causing a commotion in the village would make things even more unmanageable. Xuexue thought, although he was foolish, he excelled in martial arts. In the future, when she returned to the Capital for revenge, she would need trustworthy people by her side. Why not keep him close and make use of him?

“Sigh! I don’t know either.” Looking at the ox cart not far away, Madam Xie was also troubled.

“Mother, let big brother go to our house. He saved Chuner’s life; he’s her lifesaver,” Chuner begged Madam Xie with puppy-dog eyes.

“No, it will ruin your sister’s reputation,” Madam Xie insisted.

“Mother, just say he is your nephew from your maternal family and has been betrothed to me since we were young. Then, no one can criticize us,” Xuexue proposed, intending to enlist the idiot in her service.

Anyways, Madam Xie’s maternal family was far away and rarely in contact; nobody would know the idiot was an imposter. This was the safest bet.

“This…, no, you are betrothed; wouldn’t your father know?” Madam Xie thought for a moment, then shook her head.

“Then just insist that you had mentioned it before, but he always wanted a son and forgot about it,” Xuexue suggested, touching on the very chord that pained Madam Xie’s heart. Her face instantly darkened, her voice weak, “Indeed, okay then.”

“Mother, I didn’t mean to,” Xuexue, knowing that being divorced by the Mo family for not bearing a son was a deep wound for her mother, quickly apologized.

“It’s okay, let’s decide on that and go home.” Having said that, she moved forward to pick up the basket.

“Mother, mother, let me do it,” the idiot snatched the carrying pole and easily shouldered the baskets on each end, grinning at Xuexue with a mouthful of shiny teeth, “My dear, where are we going?”

The idiot was so cooperative that it amused Xuexue, “We’re going home.” Then she led the way.

The idiot carried the baskets on his shoulders, trotting along happily behind her.

“This….” Madam Xie was stunned.

“Hey, Mother, what are you spacing out for? Let’s go; they’ve all walked far ahead,” Chuner came up and took Madam Xie’s arm, pulling her along.

Because it was early in the Shichen, their ox cart was still empty except for them.

“Mother, I’m going to buy some things; I’ll be back in a little while.” Xuexue thought about how everyone at home was malnourished and decided to buy a few pounds of pork to improve their diet.
