Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Crack!

Under the dim oil lamp, little Daisy secretly put a fried peanut into her mouth, chewing it up, her face full of happiness.

Her small eyes examined the two adults under the lamp.

At that moment, she saw the two adults with her sister frowning, and her brother-in-law silent, the atmosphere appearing rather heavy.

”Let’s pawn it.”

Su Yunjin spoke, as if she had made some big decision, placing her mother’s silver-plated copper hairpin on the table.

Then she continued, ”The pot of lard at home, we haven’t used much, it should also fetch a bit of money.”

”And the food at home. Leave five pounds for emergencies, sell the rest, see if the neighbors want any, and also...”

Su Yunjin was calculating with Chen Jie the things at home that could be sold for money.

But no matter how she calculated, all their possessions combined couldn’t even sell for two silver taels.

And this gap was a massive twenty-five taels, how, how could they manage this!

Su Yunjin was anxious, as a blister began to form under her lips from the stress.

Looking at Su Yunjin calculating endlessly, not even noticing her hair becoming undone, a strand of hair drifted to her lips and she accidentally spoke it into her mouth.

Seeing this, Chen Jie reached out to help her brush her hair aside.

She was startled, then anxiously looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Did you hear what I said!”

”Yes, I heard.”

”Then what do you think?”

At this moment, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, ”Don’t worry, I’ve already thought of a way.”

”Really borrowing twenty-five taels from Doctor Bai, that’s not feasible. You’ve just become an apprentice to Doctor Bai, borrowing that much money, he wouldn’t possibly lend it to you.”

Chen Jie said, ”Yes, what you said is very true, but I never intended to borrow money from Doctor Bai. Wife, do you trust me?”

Su Yunjin was taken aback, looking at him.

Only to see Chen Jie looking at her with eyes as gentle as flowing water, under the dim oil lamp, their eyes met, ripples seemed to form.

Su Yunjin suddenly felt like she was melting under that gaze.

Crack!

Just as the two were gazing deeply into each other’s eyes, an incongruous sound suddenly echoed, little Daisy had put another peanut into her mouth, chewing with satisfaction.

Su Yunjin snapped back to reality, her face a little red, she lowered her head and continued calculating.

Chen Jie gave little Daisy a stern glance, only to find little Daisy completely ignoring him, picking her nose and seeing her brother-in-law looking at her.

Using her snot-covered little hand, she picked up a peanut and said, ”Brother-in-law, want some?”

”You have it yourself.”

”Oh.”

She tossed it into her mouth, crack...

Her little mouth moved up and down like a hamster.

Chen Jie felt helpless, seeing Su Yunjin starting to calculate again, he said, ”Wife, it’s getting late, let’s sleep, I’ll handle this myself.”

After hearing this, Su Yunjin frowned and said, ”How will you handle it?”

Chen Jie knew that without assuring her a bit, his wife wouldn’t be able to sleep.

”Tomorrow, give me the eight maces of silver in your pocket, I’ll go borrow two maces from Uncle Erba to make it a tael, then I’ll go see my master. I was actually framed for this matter, back then...”

Chen Jie briefly explained how he was framed.

Su Yunjin frowned and bit her lower lip, looking thoughtful.

”If this had happened before, we definitely wouldn’t have had a solution, but I have a master now, and if a disciple is so wronged, the master will certainly help.”

”But, Doctor Bai, he...”

”My master won’t be able to help, but don’t forget, my master’s son-in-law is Wu Zhong, the Fishery Manager, who can speak directly to Yu Biao, this money is just a word from them, right? Moreover, I plan to repay the principal, isn’t it enough that we admit our bad luck?”

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin finally relaxed her eyebrows, nodding, she said, ”Husband, if it’s like this, it would be too good.”

Chen Jie smiled and said, ”Now are you at ease? Ruirui, give your sister something to eat, she didn’t eat dinner well.”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s call, little Daisy immediately stood up and said, ”Yes.”

Then quickly took the elbow meat her brother-in-law didn’t let her eat and some buns, placing them in front of her sister, then stared at her sister eagerly.

At this moment, Chen Jie cut the bun open with a knife, stuffed it with a few pieces of elbow meat, handed it to Su Yunjin and said, ”Try it.”

Su Yunjin took the bun with elbow meat from Chen Jie and took a small bite.

Off to the side, little Daisy salivated as she watched, ”Sister, smacking, what does it taste like?”

Chen Jie looked at little Daisy upon hearing this and said, ”Want a taste, huh? This is your sister’s.”

”I don’t want to eat it, I just want to smell the taste.”

Chen Jie couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, while Su Yunjin glared at him and said, ”Don’t tease Ruirui, sister can’t finish it, here, for you.”

”No way.”

As Chen Jie spoke, little Daisy also said, ”Sister should eat it, Ruirui is just asking, not eating.”

Chen Jie patted Ruirui’s small head and said, ”So good, this is your sister’s. Brother-in-law will make another one for you, okay?”

”Uh-huh.”

Ruirui nodded hard.

Chen Jie made another the same way, and the sisters ate with great delight.

Watching them eat so happily, Chen Jie felt a bit satisfied, but when he turned around, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Ma Liu, Yu Sanliu, those two bastards who had their eyes on his wife, couldn’t be kept.

He would never allow Su Yunjin to end up in the same situation as Cui’er, who had jumped into a well.

At this time, in the Yu Mansion in Xiantao Town.

Yu Sanliu sat at the table, with various delicious dishes laid out, a beautiful young woman was feeding him.

Ma Liu stood at attention behind him.

Yu Sanliu chewed on the peeled shrimp the young woman fed him, took a sip of wine, and said, ”You said that Chen Jiusi is apprenticed to Bai Wenjing?”

”Yes.”

”Ah... this is a bit troublesome, what did you do?”

Yu Sanliu used his little finger to rub his brow.

Ma Liu said, ”That Chen Jiusi asked for some time, to borrow the money to repay, I agreed on our own accord, said three days later, he should return twenty-five taels with interest, if there’s anything wrong, please punish me, young master.”

Yu Sanliu nodded and said, ”Hmm, since you made the decision, do as you said, bring people to collect the money in three days.”

”But, young master, he is Bai Wenjing’s apprentice, what about Wu Zhong?”

”What’s the big deal about being Bai Wenjing’s apprentice? Paying back debts is only right, as long as there’s an IOU, I’d dare to collect even if he were Bai Wenjing’s own dad, what are we afraid of? Do what should be done.”

”Yes, young master, I understand.”

Ma Liu immediately nodded, and then Ma Liu seemed to think of something and said, ”But young master, what about the old master?”

Yu Sanliu looked at Ma Liu and said, ”Ma Liu, remember, you are my young master’s man, the old man, I’ll deal with, besides, the old man is busy searching the mountains these days for celestial treasures, where does he have time to mind me? Ha-ha...”

”Yes, young master, I understand, I’ll carry out your orders.”

Yu Sanliu said, ”Go ahead.”

Yu Sanliu stood up, pointed at a beautiful young woman who had obviously been crying standing behind him, and said, ”You, come to the room with me.”

”Ah~”

The beautiful young woman was startled, Yu Sanliu leaned close, glaring at her and said, ”Little young lady, you wouldn’t want your man to have his hands and feet broken, would you?”

”Be good, time for the evening lesson.”
