The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands-Chapter 9: Hard Life
Chapter 9
So when Lin Zaozao thought about it with a smile on her face early in the morning, she pushed the always silent Gu Shan and went to the small river on the edge of the village.
Looking at this clear river that you can see the bottom of, Lin Zaozao found two stones and fixed Gu Shan's wheelchair before smiling at the expressionless Gu Shan.
"Gu Shan, I am a fairy who has descended from the sky. I can tell fortunes. Do you want me to calculate one for you?"
"My fate is tough, no need to calculate." Gu Shan replied coldly.
"No matter how tough your fate is, it can still be pressed to the bottom by my weight as heavy as Mount Tai. Come on, handsome little husband, this great fairy will calculate a hexagram for you for free."
After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Gu Shan to refuse, she grabbed Gu Shan's hand and pretended to calculate it.
"Hmm! From my palm reading, you will definitely be able to stand up again in three months. I, Lin Zaozao, guarantee this to you."
Lin Zaozao chuckled foolishly at Gu Shan, but secretly and imperceptibly transferred Gu Shan's illness to her own body before slowly letting go of Gu Shan's hand and smiling triumphantly at him.
This little hand has quite a nice feel when touching it.
However, under Gu Shan's cold gaze, she didn't dare to continue touching it.
What a pity that she couldn't keep touching it!
【Host, do you want to use the marrow-washing liquid and beauty liquid now?】
【I won't use it now, I'll use it all at once tonight.】
Lin Zaozao secretly replied in her heart.
"Aren't you called Lin Xiaohua? How did you become Lin Zaozao again?"
Facing Gu Shan's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Zaozao said unperturbedly.
"Well, didn't I dislike the name Lin Xiaohua for being a bit crude and ugly, so I changed it to Lin Zaozao. What's wrong with that, is that not okay?"
"It's fine, whatever you like."
After speaking, Gu Shan no longer looked at Lin Zaozao's face with the large birthmark, but focused all his attention on his own knees.
Since he was poisoned and injured, the area below his knees was completely numb.
However, after this fat and ugly wife touched his hand yesterday, he felt a trace of sensation in his knees.
Yesterday, he thought it was just an illusion caused by his great wish to stand up again.
But unexpectedly, when this silly woman used fortune-telling as an excuse to touch his hand again, a warm current appeared in his numb legs that had no sensation since the poisoning injury, giving him faint awareness.
Once could be said to be a misperception of his nerves. But when his legs felt strange twice, it proved that he did not have an illusion.
It proved that the wife in front of him was not a simple character.
But when they married into this backward Xiaoshui Village, they had thoroughly investigated this Lin Xiaohua's background.
She was indeed an orphan without parents.
However, when Fantiang took her pulse and found an incurable poison in her body, they knew that the identity of this silly wife might not be simple.
After all, no one would put such an expensive poison into a completely useless fool.
But so what?
No matter what her identity was, her life could now only be tied together with theirs.
Until...
And the somewhat silly and crude Lin Zaozao had long since stopped paying attention to Gu Shan's scrutinizing gaze behind her. Instead, she focused all her attention on the little river.
Because it was so dark last night, she didn't notice at all that there were actually fish appearing in such a clear little river.
Looking at those grass carp lazily wagging their tails, Lin Zaozao felt that her saliva was almost flowing out.
So she immediately took off her shoes and walked into the river barefoot.
Hmm! Going into the river to catch fish.
Anyway, this was the countryside, and the conventions of this era were not as restrictive on women as the rigid doctrines of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.
In this regard, Lin Zaozao was quite free and unrestrained.
However, when she walked into the river to catch fish, those fish that looked silly and stupid from the shore were actually sly like loaches, swimming around her.
Some fish even swam between her legs, as if to mock this stupid and ugly woman.
And in her repeated failures to catch them, Lin Zaozao got all her clothes wet.
Gu Shan, who had been sitting in the wheelchair all this time, saw that Lin Zaozao was dragging her clumsy body in the water, failing to catch the fish while getting her clothes completely soaked.
In the heat of summer, people's clothing was already thin to begin with. Now that her clothes were soaked, they were completely sticking to her body.
So Lin Zaozao's rings of "Michelin tire" fat on her belly were perfectly displayed in front of Gu Shan.
Although he really didn't have any lewd thoughts about Lin Zaozao, seeing her like this still made Gu Shan feel a little embarrassed and he lowered his head.
After a while, he really couldn't stand watching anymore. So the stones in his hand shot out swiftly, and the grass carp that had been teasing Lin Zaozao suddenly floated on the river surface, caught off guard by her.
"Wow! Gu Shan, did you see that, I caught a fish, such a big fish!"
Saying that, Lin Zaozao rushed over to Gu Shan excitedly, holding the fish as if she was offering up a treasure.
"Gu Shan, don't you think the fish I caught is big!" 𝒻𝘳𝓮ℯ𝑤𝘦𝒷𝓷𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Lin Zaozao looked at Gu Shan expectantly with shining eyes, wanting him to praise her a few words.
And Gu Shan, with his cold expression, spat out four words indifferently after glancing at Lin Zaozao.
"Hmm! Big, awesome."
Although Gu Shan’s reply was brief, it still made Lin Zaozao extremely happy. In return, what Gu Shan got was a big smile from Lin Zaozao.
Seeing this big smile in front of him, Gu Shan's cold heart couldn't help but jump.
Because although this woman Lin Zaozao looked ugly, her eyes were really too clear.
He had never seen such clear eyes in his life from childhood till now.
"Gu Shan, I'll put this fish here first, you help me keep an eye on it. It's still early, I'll catch two more fish to add to our dinner tonight."
After speaking, Lin Zaozao put the fish under Gu Shan's wheelchair and went back into the river to catch more fish.
So in the following time, with Gu Shan's covert help, Lin Zaozao caught a total of four fish. Although the last three fish were not very big.
But for Lin Zaozao, who was catching fish with her bare hands for the first time, this result was something she could boast about for a long time.
Looking at the fish tied up with grass rope by Gu Shan, Lin Zaozao hung them on one side of Gu Shan's wheelchair while pushing him back.
"Lin Xiaohua, do you want to wait for your clothes to dry a little more before going back?" Gu Shan reminded.
Lin Zaozao looked down at her now half-dry clothes and shook them nonchalantly.
"It's okay, let's just go back directly. My clothes are half dry now, and it's so hot today that I'm not afraid of catching a cold anyway."
"No, aren't wet clothes sticking to your body embarrassing for you?"
"Embarrassed? Why would I feel embarrassed?" Lin Zaozao asked puzzledly.
