I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 30 p1

Chapter 30 p1

After cleaning the restaurant for the last time, Song Yugui could leave. She went to tell the owner that she would not be working after this month. The owner was first shocked, and after asking several times and confirming that it was not because she had been bullied in the restaurant, but for personal reasons, she was quite reluctant to see her go.

This girl was quiet and hardworking. It would be difficult to find someone like her again.

Lanxiang waved her fan, her willow-like brows slightly furrowed. “Then what are you going to do after you leave the restaurant? You still have a wife to support. You haven’t been poached by the restaurant opposite, have you?”

At this point, she became a little wary. The restaurant opposite was always poaching her staff. Even two of the waiters had been poached. Are they crazy? They’re not even chefs, and they’re still poaching them.

Song Yugui knew that the two restaurants had always been at odds and quickly shook her head. “Of course not. I plan to go home and butcher pigs.”

“Ya, butcher pigs? You know how to butcher pigs? Are they your own pigs?”

“Mmm, yes. Every household in the countryside raises pigs.”

Lanxiang’s eyes lit up, and she smiled brightly. “So that’s how it is. Then if your pigs are well-raised, I’ll have the back kitchen purchase some. It won’t be in vain that we’ve known each other.”

“That would be for the best. Thank you, Owner.”

It was best if someone could help. Song Yugui’s thanks were sincere, and the corners of her lips couldn’t help but curve up.

After thanking the owner, she went back to the private room to get her wife.

The moment Shen Xizhi saw her, her large, watery eyes lit up. She lifted her skirt and hurried over, a soft smile on her face. “Yugui-jiejie, are we going back now?”

Song Yugui casually took the woman’s small, cool hand and replied, “Mmm, let’s go back. Were you bored?”

“A little, but now that you’re here, I’m not bored anymore.”

Her clear, bright eyes looked at her, and she spoke each word very seriously.

Song Yugui’s heart softened again. As she led her out, she lowered her eyes and asked, “What do you want to eat tonight? We can go buy it.”

“Let’s not buy anything. The cabbage at home has grown. Let’s go home, and I’ll stir-fry some cabbage for you. We can also give a head to Auntie Li’s family.”

She still remembered borrowing a head of cabbage from Auntie Li before.

“Alright, then I’ll listen to you.”

The vegetables and meat in the evening were never as fresh as in the morning. If they didn’t buy any, then they didn’t buy any.

Anyway, their family often ate vegetarian.

As the two of them were walking down the street, which was bustling with people, Shen Xizhi suddenly stopped, frowning slightly as she looked at the medical hall to the side, her expression one of surprise. She wouldn’t budge.

Song Yugui subconsciously followed her gaze, asking as she looked, “What’s wrong?”

And then, she saw a face so bandaged up that it was almost impossible to tell who it was.

Hmm?

Shen Xizhi’s gaze was fixed on the person. She paused, and after a long moment, she managed to react. Her pale, slender fingertips trembled as she pointed at the man in the medical hall who was occasionally letting out a wail. “Is… is that the one who came to our house yesterday?”

Hearing her mention yesterday, Song Yugui was stunned. Only then did she frown and look carefully, comparing the location of the wounds. Hey, it really was Song Bao, who had come to her house yesterday and spoken so outrageously.

Seeing that person, she couldn’t help but think of what Shen Xizhi might have suffered if she hadn’t transmigrated. Her tone unconsciously turned a few degrees colder, her expression solemn. “Mmm, it’s him. I beat him up so badly yesterday he looked like a pig’s head. I almost didn’t recognize him.”

Shen Xizhi turned her head, her eyes wide, her voice involuntarily rising a notch, as if she had heard something incredible. “You… you beat him?!”

Her mind was a blank, with only one sentence playing over and over in her head: Song Yugui beat up her good brother who often instigated her to do bad things.

On her round eyes, her long, thick lashes trembled. She clutched a corner of her wife’s clothes, surprised and in disbelief. “You… why did you hit him?”

In her memory, her wife had a very good relationship with this person. They often met and went out together, which was why her wife would discuss such an important matter as selling her wife with him.

But what had she heard today?

Her wife had beaten up her own good brother?

And had beaten him to such an unrecognizable state.

Shen Xizhi’s wide-eyed expression was like a startled deer, her cheeks had a little bit of flesh, her eyes were watery and so beautiful.

Song Yugui got angry just seeing Song Bao. If it weren’t for the fact that she had received nine years of compulsory education, she really would have wanted this dead thing to meet the same fate as in the original story.

So she just snorted coldly at the wailing man inside and quickly turned to her wife with a gentle expression. “He dared to be rude to you and even had that kind of thought. A beating is letting him off lightly.”

Shen Xizhi stared blankly at her wife, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she looked at Song Bao inside, who had clearly been beaten viciously, then back at her wife. After repeating this several times, her eyes suddenly turned red, and then she threw herself into her arms with force, pressing her whole body against her, hugging her tightly. If not for the last shred of her sanity, she would have wanted to wrap her legs around her waist as well.

Afraid that she would fall, Song Yugui quickly reached out to hold her, her expression still a little dazed, not understanding. “What’s wrong, Xizhi?”

The sight of two women acting like this on a bustling street had already attracted a lot of attention. Out of politeness, people didn’t gossip to their faces, only starting to point and whisper after they had walked away.

Song Yugui held her securely in her arms and patted the back of her head reassuringly.

“We’re on the street, Zhizhi. Let’s talk about whatever it is when we get back.”

She knew best that the young woman was thin-skinned and cared about her reputation. Right now, she was overcome with emotion and was hugging her on the street. When she calmed down later, she would be dying of shame.

Shen Xizhi clenched her fists and looked up from her embrace with watery eyes, which seemed to contain a thousand words, as well as guilt and other emotions.

Perhaps her emotional intelligence was not high enough. Song Yugui only felt that her wife’s expression was complicated, but as for how it was complicated… she couldn’t quite tell.

Song Bao, who had just had his wounds bandaged in the medical hall and was coming out with a prescription, saw Song Yugui standing outside and was so frightened that he took two steps back, tripped on the steps, and fell hard on his bottom, almost sitting on the foot of someone who was waiting in line to see the doctor, who clicked their tongue at him.

Song Yugui also gave him a cold look, as if in warning. Song Bao trembled with humiliation, pointing a trembling finger at her, but in the end, he didn’t want to get another beating. He had just come out of the medical hall and had cowardly hidden back inside. He wouldn’t leave even after the pharmacy boy asked him a couple of questions in confusion.

Seeing her treat Song Bao so coldly, Shen Xizhi no longer had a single trace of doubt. She completely believed Song Yugui’s words.

And in her heart, she was filled with deep regret. Although Song Yugui had been a bastard before, she had really changed for the better recently. She had only been concerned with her own conjectures and hadn’t believed her at all, even deliberately threatening her with self-harm to scare her.

She… she was really too much.

Shen Xizhi was filled with guilt, feeling that she had wronged her wife. She was too bad, worse than Yugui-jiejie.

“Let’s ignore people with bad intentions. Let’s go, let’s go home?”

Song Yugui lowered her eyes and asked the young woman in her arms.

The young woman nodded delicately and took the initiative to reach for her hand. Only after she was holding it firmly did she get up from her embrace and say in a small voice, “Mmm, let’s go back, walk back.”

They had taken the oxcart in the morning, which had cost two wen. Today, Yugui-jiejie had also bought her pastries, which must have cost a lot of money…

They had to be more frugal.

Shen Xizhi’s expression softened, and her small face was filled with obedience and charm.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Xizhi was especially good at saving money for her. Her heart was warmed, and after taking Xizhi’s hand, she subconsciously rubbed her palm.

They walked home together. They had returned early today. Just as she was about to say she was going to cut some pig feed, her little wife repeated her actions from the street. First, she stood still, then she threw herself into her arms, burying her face in her neck and rubbing it vigorously. Her soft cheeks were very comfortable to be rubbed against.

But Song Yugui was knocked back two steps and almost couldn’t catch her breath. She was completely bewildered. She hesitantly placed her hand on the woman’s tender neck and hesitated. “What’s wrong? Your mood was off just now. Were you… were you frightened by seeing Song Bao?”

That was the only explanation. The young woman had only become a little strange after seeing Song Bao. She must have been frightened.

Alright, she had beaten Song Bao up a little badly.

The originally bluish-purple spot had swollen up overnight, and he really did look like a pig’s head.

However, Shen Xizhi shook her head and looked up at her, her eyes filled with a pool of water, her eye sockets still red. Song Yugui’s heart ached instantly. She held her face in her hands, her voice incredibly gentle as she coaxed her repeatedly, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Don’t cry. Tell me what’s wrong first, okay?”

She was most afraid of Shen Xizhi crying.

When this person cried, she was at a complete loss.

Shen Xizhi sniffled, her eyes red, her lashes still wet with tears, sticking together, as if she were really about to cry.

Auntie Li was passing by with a head of cabbage she had just pulled. She had only just walked past when she saw this scene and immediately backed up, frowning angrily. “Song Yugui, didn’t you say you would never bully Xizhi again?!”

Song Yugui: ???

Wait, I’m being wronged!

“I… I didn’t…”

Song Yugui raised both hands innocently and was about to defend herself when Shen Xizhi, hearing someone scolding her, quickly turned around and spoke, afraid that others would misunderstand her wife. “No, no! Yugui-jiejie didn’t bully me! I was the one who wanted to cry! Auntie, please don’t scold her.”

The young woman held Song Yugui’s hand. Although her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had been wronged, her body unconsciously leaned against the other.

This sight almost made Auntie Li turn and flee. Although she was already middle-aged, she couldn’t help but blush for the young people. What’s going on? Isn’t Xizhi a very shy and introverted person?

Song Yugui was also completely bewildered. She was so distant with me this morning. How did she suddenly get better?

Auntie Li looked at Song Yugui, then at Shen Xizhi. She was naturally afraid that a good girl like Shen Xizhi would be bullied, but since she herself had said she hadn’t been bullied, she couldn’t force herself to stand up for her. She could only look at Song Yugui suspiciously and say, “Between a couple, you should talk things out properly. Don’t always be so fierce.”

Look at Xizhi’s frail little body. How much bullying can she take?

She said a few more words about how Song Yugui should treat her wife well, then left with her cabbage.

Song Yugui’s face fell. Her reputation! Just now, it had been tarnished again!

When had she always been so fierce?

She was clearly very gentle!

Seeing the other person walk away, Song Yugui gritted her teeth, made an effort, and her expression softened again. Her thumb unconsciously rubbed the soft palm under hers, her tone tinged with helplessness. “You see, even Auntie misunderstood. What’s the matter? Don’t cry.”

“Oh.”

She told her not to cry, so Shen Xizhi puffed out her cheeks to hold it in. After a long while, she finally managed to suppress the sourness in her nose and said in a hoarse voice, “Yugui-jiejie…”

“Hmm?”

Song Yugui held her breath and listened intently. She wanted to know what on earth her wife was wronged about!

She had hugged her twice on her own initiative, and her eyes were red as if she were about to cry.

“I’m sorry.”

After waiting for a long time, she only heard three words as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

Song Yugui was shocked. “What are you sorry to me for?”

Could it be that she’s really fallen for the male lead?! Is she breaking up with me?! Cheating on me?!

Every single thought made Song Yugui’s heart turn cold, and she felt suffocated.

However, the young woman just stammered, apologizing for being angry with her before.

Her voice was light and thin, like a kitten’s, and the guilt in her words was very strong. “I… I shouldn’t have not believed you. And I even threw a tantrum at you, making you work so hard to coax me… I’m sorry, Yugui-jiejie.”

With Song Yugui’s past disposition, if she had been misunderstood, she would have started hitting her long ago.

But yesterday, she had just patiently coaxed her, always telling her, I won’t do that. I won’t sell you. I won’t be like before.

She… she had really changed now. She was the best person she could be.

Shen Xizhi was so moved that her eyes welled with tears. She couldn’t hold it back anymore; she was about to cry. Sob…

Ah.
