I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 23

Chapter 23

The next day, Song Yugui appeared at the restaurant entrance with her little wife. The owner, Lanxiang, was leaning against the doorway, watching the flow of people. Seeing her arrive, she smiled and asked, “Ya, so early today?”

Song Yugui lowered her head in embarrassment. “Mmm, Owner, this is my wife. She wanted to come and keep me company today.”

“Your wife?”

Lanxiang’s cherry-like lips parted slightly, her expression one of disbelief.

She hadn’t expected the waiter in her restaurant to be a lesbian.

Although the customs in their dynasty were open, something like being a lesbian… was still a rare occurrence in some remote areas, and it was even rarer for someone to admit it so openly.

Song Yugui nodded seriously, without any intention of hiding it. “Mmm, she was at home alone today, and I was worried, so…”

Behind her, Shen Xizhi clutched her clothes in embarrassment, looking very clingy.

After a long moment, Lanxiang finally reacted. She didn’t say anything, but her red lips curved into a slight smile. “So it’s little sister. Then come in quickly. Master Wang’s wife is also here. You two can sit together and chat.”

The restaurant had a small private room where family members could occasionally come and talk.

Master Wang’s wife was nine months pregnant, and there was no one at home to take care of her. He was worried, so after speaking with the owner, he had brought his wife to the restaurant’s private room, where he could occasionally look after her.

Song Yugui also knew about this, which was why she had thought of bringing the villain with her.

Her reputation in the village was not good, and the villain, not being from the village and having married a lesbian, had a reputation that was no better.

What if the villagers bullied her when I wasn’t looking, or badmouthed me to her!

Hmph, I will defend my honor to the death!

Shen Xizhi rarely spoke to strangers. Hearing the owner’s gentle voice, her long lashes trembled, and she hid even more shyly behind Song Yugui, her cheeks blushing as she nodded slightly.

Lanxiang swayed her plump figure as she walked in front, fanning herself, a constant smile on her face. She hadn’t expected Xiaogui’s wife to be so timid and endearing.

Song Yugui led her to the private room. Master Wang and his wife hadn’t arrived yet. “You sit here for a while. Someone will be here to talk to you soon. I’m going to clean the restaurant.”

She had it all planned out. It was fine if she worked a little harder; she had to raise her wife well.

The young woman was so thin she was almost a skeleton. She couldn’t let her suffer anymore.

However…

Heaven had other plans. Song Yugui had just finished cleaning the private room on the second floor when she came down to see her little wife, whom she had sworn to raise well, holding a broom and diligently sweeping the floor downstairs. When she got closer, she even heard the owner smiling and praising her for sweeping so cleanly.

Wait a minute? Is she your employee that you’re praising her?

“Xizhi.”

A vein throbbed on Song Yugui’s forehead. “Didn’t I tell you to just sit and wait for me?”

Why was she working?

Hearing her wife’s voice, Shen Xizhi’s eyes lit up. Even though she knew she was a little unhappy, she still hesitantly went over, her moist eyes looking up. “The main hall is all clean. Another girl and I did it. You should rest for a while.”

…

Lanxiang shook her head and sighed. “Xiaogui is really lucky.”

Where did she find such a wife, so obedient and considerate?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Song Yugui was helpless. “Didn’t I tell you not to help me with my work? Why are you so disobedient?”

It was one thing for her to secretly go and help others with their farm work, tired for several days. Today, she could have finally had a rest, done nothing, and just waited for her in the room. Who knew that Shen Xizhi couldn’t sit still?

She had secretly run out to work.

“Your wife is just concerned about you, and you’re still scolding her. It’s really heartbreaking.”

Lanxiang stood up for Shen Xizhi, then added with a smile, “Alright, the first floor is almost clean. You two can rest for a while. The customers will be here soon. And don’t scold her anymore. I can see the little girl is timid and inexperienced. Don’t make her cry later, or we’ll have to help you coax her.”

Lanxiang covered her wide smile with her round fan.

Song Yugui raised an eyebrow, thinking, She’s inexperienced? She’s experienced more than most people. She’s incredibly resilient.

But it was true that she cried easily.

Afraid that she would get angry, Shen Xizhi peeked at her after hearing what was said and secretly reached out to grab a small section of her little finger, swaying it coquettishly.

That’s right, don’t scold me anymore.

No matter how unhappy she was in her heart, faced with her little wife like this, she couldn’t let out her anger.

Staring at her for a while, Song Yugui couldn’t help but reach out and pat her on the back of her fluffy head. Aiya, my wife must have suffered a lot in the past to have become so obedient and observant.

Forget it, I won’t bully her anymore.

Song Yugui also knew that with their relationship, being fierce with Shen Xizhi was no different from bullying her. Shen Xizhi wouldn’t dare to resist. It was just that sometimes she really couldn’t help it; she was incredibly infuriating.

Song Yugui took her little wife’s hand in return, replied with an “Mmm,” and led her to the side.

A soft smile appeared on Shen Xizhi’s lips as she obediently followed behind.

“Tired?”

Song Yugui reached out and tidied her slightly messy hair.

Shen Xizhi’s eyes were bright as she shook her head. “Not tired. I was working with someone else, so I didn’t do it for long.”

“It will be very busy when the customers arrive later. I might not be able to look after you. You can just stay in the private room. If you’re bored, you can go out to the street for some fresh air and buy something to eat, okay?”

Her tone was like she was coaxing a child.

Song Yugui stuffed a money pouch into her hand. Shen Xizhi was about to refuse as usual, but she was stopped by her deliberately cold face and a single “be obedient.”

She didn’t dare to be disobedient, or she would get angry and be fierce again.

Just then, Shen Cui walked over hesitantly, her eyes fixed on the two of them.

She stared at them so intently that Song Yugui couldn’t ignore it. Feeling very uncomfortable, she forced a polite smile and asked, “Sister Shen, what’s wrong?”

Shen Cui’s eyes darted over her, her expression growing stranger. Then, she pointed a finger at the wife beside her and asked seriously, “Is this Shen Xizhi?”

Although she didn’t know Shen Xizhi’s wife, she had seen Shen Xizhi before!

But they weren’t familiar. She had only occasionally seen her busy in the fields.

Ever since she had married into Songjia Village, she had only heard about her and had not seen her again. She didn’t even come back for the New Year.

So when she saw this great beauty sweeping the floor this morning, she was as shocked as if she had seen a ghost. After several inquiries, she finally learned that this was Song Yugui’s wife.

Song Yugui was a lesbian!

Shen Cui weakly hugged herself.

Besides the woman who had married Shen Xizhi, was there a second lesbian in Songjia Village?

She hadn’t heard of one, so it was almost certain…

Shen Xizhi had already undergone a round of questioning downstairs. Seeing the other pulling her wife aside to ask again, a faint displeasure appeared on her face. She touched her wife’s finger and explained softly, “This is someone from my old village, but I don’t know her.”

She no longer recognized most of the people from Shenjia Village. When she first saw Shen Cui, she naturally didn’t recognize her. Who knew that Shen Cui recognized her and kept asking her questions, even asking if Song Yugui often beat and scolded her.

That… had indeed happened in the past, but now the other treated her so well. How could there be any beating or scolding?

Shen Cui smiled awkwardly, trying hard to remember their first meeting. She shouldn’t have said anything bad about the woman who had married Shen Xizhi, right?

It seemed she had, and Song Yugui had even refuted her. So that was it. Who could tolerate being criticized to their face?

Shen Cui’s heart died. She, a gossip, also had her own principles, such as never gossiping to someone’s face!

Song Yugui was unaware of the complex and tormented thoughts in this person’s mind. She nodded. “Mmm, this is my wife, Shen Xizhi. You should know her. This is Shen Cui, my co… friend.”

She had almost said ‘colleague’. Turtle was feeling guilty.

Shen Xizhi held her wife’s wrist, not caring in the least who Shen Cui was. She nodded casually, her eyes focused on her wife as she said warmly, “You must be tired after working so hard just now. Why don’t you go have a drink of water first?”

The villain, when not throwing a tantrum, was incredibly considerate. Song Yugui was dazed by her increasingly soft voice and followed behind her without any resistance.

Shen Cui watched them leave hand in hand, cursing inwardly, Rumors have misled me! This doesn’t look like a bad relationship at all. In fact, in fact, they’re much closer and more intimate than an ordinary couple.
