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

Chapter 138: Chapter 106 Husband, today I am really, really happy_3

Su Yunjin was a woman raised under feudal dictates, so some of her thinking aligned with the women of her time.

Therefore, she could foresee and accept Chen Jie’s future.

As long as Chen Jie still loved her, that was enough.

The two spoke many intimate words, and Bai shared a lot of her life experiences. Su Yunjin listened carefully to the elder’s guidance, absorbing the wisdom she could use.

For instance, Bai recounted the time Wu Zhong went to Yihong House. Upon his return, she didn’t cry or make a fuss, treating him as kindly as before.

Wu Zhong, on the other hand, felt a deep moral guilt and thereafter treated her better, also restraining himself more.

”Yunjin, remember that when a man makes a mistake, if you don’t want to part ways with him, don’t show it. If you argue and quarrel with him incessantly, he will grow more annoyed with you. At that moment, if a little temptation comes from outside, he might be drawn away. Crying and complaining then will be useless, as it would be equivalent to pushing him into the arms of another woman...”

...

After resting at the inn for an afternoon, in the evening, Bai and Wu Zhong left first.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie, Su Yunjin, and Ruirui, Su Yunrui, stayed behind.

That day, Chen Jie wouldn’t stay at the Bai Family home for two reasons: First, the White Tiger Hall Master, Peng Shizhong, was staying at the Bai Family, and the largest guest room was reserved for him, leaving Chen Jie and Su Yunjin without a place to stay.

Secondly, Chen Jie and his family needed to go home to pack some belongings.

They wanted to take some valuables into the city.

Therefore, they settled their dinner in the city, having the wonton soup from the place they had visited before with Ni Wenjun.

”Boss, three bowls of meat wontons.”

Chen Jie called out to the owner, and soon, the owner had the wontons ready. Ruirui eagerly used a spoon to put a big wonton in his mouth, only to find it so hot that his mouth hung open, blowing on it, yet he refused to spit out the mouthful.

”Slow down, slow down.”

Su Yunjin softly chided from the side, ”There’s no one here to fight you for it.”

Chen Jie, meanwhile, asked Su Yunjin, ”Wife, what did Aunt Bai tell you?”

He was very curious about what Bai had told his wife.

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie and shook her head, ”She didn’t say anything.”

”What, not even willing to share your thoughts with your husband anymore?”

Hearing this, Su Yunjin fell silent. After a moment, she said, ”Aunt Bai said that Uncle Zhong seemed to have gone to that Yihong House back in the day and did something to betray her!”

”What?!”

Chen Jie was taken aback and quickly asked, ”Is Aunt Bai sure about this?”

Su Yunjin replied, ”Sometimes a woman’s intuition is very accurate, she just doesn’t prefer to speak of it.”

Chen Jie asked, ”What if Uncle Zhong is being falsely accused?”

”Do you think so?”

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie.

For some inexplicable reason, Chen Jie felt a bit guilty and said, ”Why are you looking at me like that? It’s not like I was the one who went there.”

At this moment, little Ruirui looked up at Chen Jie and asked, ”Brother-in-law, is that Yihong House a restaurant? Do they serve big pork knuckles?”

Chen Jie, hearing this, had a somewhat odd expression and said, ”Kids shouldn’t be asking around. They don’t serve knuckles there, just seafood.”

”What’s seafood?”

Ruirui, not knowing what the sea was, asked curiously.

Chen Jie said, ”You’ll understand when you grow up.”

After saying this, he turned to Su Yunjin, ”Is that all Aunt Bai told you?”

”Yes, she told me to keep an eye on my husband. Aunt Bai said, in this world, there’s no cat that doesn’t steal food.”

”Cough, cough...”

Chen Jie coughed vigorously and then said very seriously, ”Wife, rest assured, I am not that kind of cat you mentioned!”

”Really?”

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie with a skeptical gaze.

Chen Jie raised his hand to indicate that he was not someone who would go to the second floor.

He immediately changed the subject, not wanting to get stuck on this topic.

After eating and drinking to their satisfaction, Chen Jie took his wife and Ruirui back home.

Upon reaching Xiantao Village, Chen Jie could sense that things were different, because whenever they encountered young people on the road, they would all greet him warmly, ”Fourth Brother Jiu Si.”

Their voices were noticeably ingratiating.

In the past, lacking standing in the village, Su Yunjin was often bullied, but now everyone greeted her as ”Sister-in-law.”

The older folks were kind to Yunjin, always saying, ”You’ve married a good man.”

Chen Jie blushed at the praise, wondering if he was really as good as they said.

But indeed, their attitude had changed tremendously, visibly transformed.

Until Chen Jie encountered Chen Xiaohu and Hu Zi, who explained why.

It turned out that Chen Jie had been accepted as the adoptive son of Peng Shizhong and was soon to become the Young Master in the city—a piece of news that had spread throughout the village.

Upon hearing this news, the entire village was stunned.

Someone asked, ”Hey, who do you think holds a higher position, being Peng Shizhong’s adoptive son or our Fishery Manager?”

Immediately, someone replied, ”No need to ask, of course, being Peng Shizhong’s adoptive son is higher, and it’s in the county. Imagine, life in the county is far more comfortable than here!”

”That’s right, let me tell you, Peng Shizhong has no sons. Being his adoptive son means inheriting Peng Shizhong’s estate in the future. Even the White Tiger Hall could be given to Jiu Si. Who do you think has a higher position then?”

”White Tiger Hall!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s mouths dropped open. They knew the guild hall masters in the county town could stand on equal footing with arrest officers and possibly even the County Magistrate. Such status was of a noble rank in the eyes of commoners.

Unreachable!

For these folks at the bottom, the highest official they might encounter in their lifetime might be just the Fishery Manager.

Now hearing this about Chen Jie, they were genuinely envious.

It was like a remote village hearing of someone becoming a college student and doing exceptionally well, ready to settle in a big city.
