Chapter 158: Black Obsidian Bone Dagger ( 1 )

As soon as Yao Zhi finished her words, everyone stared at her in shock. In this era, they were taught to follow their father before marriage, follow their husband after marriage, and follow their son after becoming a widow from a young age.

This was the first time they had heard a woman dare to say such rebellious words so openly. Did she really dare to divorce Fu Chen’an if he brought another woman back?

While everyone had their doubts, no one brought it up. After all, it was only a hypothetical situation and hadn’t happened yet. If that day came, they would see what she did.

The rest of the journey was filled with silence, with only occasional hushed whispers. Even though Yao Zhi noticed everyone’s judging glances at her, she didn’t have any intention to explain to them.

Her soul was born and grew up in an era where monogamy was common sense, and loyalty toward their partners was a bare minimum. So, even if she tried to adapt to this era, it would be impossible for her to completely accept the three views of this era.

She wouldn’t force others to accept and understand her views, and wouldn’t let others force her to accept and understand their views either.

In the end, everyone should just live their own lives and avoid interfering in other people’s private matters.

After an hour, they finally arrived at the border town. Yao Zhi parked her donkey cart on the roadside, and everyone came down one after another.

”Yao Girl, what time are you going back later?” a middle-aged woman asked.

”After buying something at the border market, I want to visit my husband first before going back,” Yao Zhi replied with a smile.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding and took their leave after thanking her.

Since today was a day for the border market, she had to wait in line for almost an hour before she managed to enter the town.

When the villagers saw her take out a military token, their eyes were green with envy.

While the soldiers’ family members were allowed to use the token after they got permission from their superior, not everyone dared or was willing to give their token to their families.

After all, the token represented their identity. If it were used by their families to do something bad, they would be the ones being punished. Even Wang Shen didn’t receive the token from her son.

Not knowing that the military token had pulled hatred toward her, Yao Zhi went to the horse market and entrusted her donkey there before she went to the border market.

When she walked past a secluded alley, she went to the corner and took out a veiled hat. Afterward, she took out a basket of fresh vegetables from her system’s storage. These vegetables were harvested yesterday.

Wearing the veiled hat, she walked to the border market, carrying the bamboo basket on her back. Like before, she visited other stalls and checked on their goods first.

After half an hour, there was nothing that piqued her attention. She thought about the seed merchant from before and walked to another road. Unexpectedly, when she had just taken several steps, someone blocked her path.

Yao Zhi looked at the man blocking her, and a surprise flashed in her eyes. The young man was none other than Altan Yisu, the man who exchanged his wolf jerky for her grain.

Back then, she was still weighing more than 100 kilograms. Now that she had lost so much weight, he shouldn’t be able to recognize her.

”This gentleman, why did you block my way?” she asked calmly.

Being called a gentleman, Altan Yisu felt embarrassed. He was just a rough man. Even if he knew some words, he was far from being a gentleman.

He scratched his nose and said, ”Young lady, I’m sorry for stopping you. I didn’t have any bad intentions and just wanted to ask if you were selling your vegetables.”

When she heard this, Yao Zhi smiled and said, ”My vegetables are not for sale. But if you have something good, it’s not impossible to exchange it.”

Hearing this, Altan Yisu nodded and said, ”Young lady, I brought many things this time. Please come with me and see if there is anything you like.”

Yao Zhi nodded and followed him to his stall. Like before, beside him, there were four other stalls owned by the grassland tribes’ people.

When they saw him followed by a girl, one of them asked, ”Altan Yisu, did you find something good again?”

Altan Yisu smiled and said, ”This young lady has a basket of vegetables. I just hope that she likes my goods and we can exchange them.”

As soon as they heard his words, their gazes landed on Yao Zhi’s bamboo basket. When they saw the fresh vegetables, one of them asked, ”Young lady, what kind of vegetables are those? I never saw them before.”

Yao Zhi placed the bamboo basket down before she took out the vegetables.

”This purple one is called eggplant, this green one is called cucumber. This white one is called white radish, the red one is called carrot. This one is cabbage, and this small red fruit is called a cherry tomato.”

When they heard the names, Altan Yisu had already inspected the vegetables. From so many types, he only recognized cabbage. The rest, he had never heard of, let alone seen.

”Young lady, these vegetables look strange. Are they edible?” he asked.

Yao Zhi glanced at his stall and noticed a black obsidian bone dagger in the corner. Although obsidian was fragile, it was very sharp. If her husband had this dagger with him, it might be able to save his life in a dangerous situation.

”You can taste it yourself.”

After she said this, she picked several cherry tomatoes from a smaller basket inside the bamboo basket and washed them with her water.

She handed the cherry tomatoes to him and said, ”Try it.”
