I’ll Butcher Pigs to Support You! 92

Chapter 92: My 100% Blackened, Broken Wife [4]

Even though the other might be secretly repulsed by her, Song Yugui still felt that Xizhi was very good.

The first time she had bought her clothes in her past life, she had refused to the death. Now she was willing, wearing whatever she was bought, but she didn’t offer any opinions, as silent as a mannequin.

Song Yugui, helpless, rubbed her head. “If there’s something you particularly like, you have to say so. Don’t keep it in your heart, or someone else will buy it.”

Shen Xizhi replied in a low voice, her gaze only sweeping over the skirts that were not easily stained.

The clothes Song Yugui bought for her were all white and pink. She had never had such delicate colors. In the past, how could she have dared to wear such light colors? She could only wear the drab, dark clothes that her mother and sister had worn. But what woman didn’t love beauty?

Shen Xizhi liked these few sets of clothes she had picked out very much, so she didn’t say anything more and let her buy such delicate long skirts for her.

It was only when she heard the owner say the price that she reacted. These few sets of clothes were not only beautiful, but also very expensive. Three sets together cost two taels of silver.

She subconsciously looked at Song Yugui, originally thinking that she would at least hesitate for a moment. After all, this was two taels of silver, enough for an ordinary family of three to live on for a few months. But she paid the money without a change in expression and had someone wrap them up.

So generous to her. She really won’t chase her away, will she? She’s already spent too much money on her.

Shen Xizhi’s long-uneasy heart finally settled down a little.

Song Yugui led her out of the clothing store and sighed again. “I’ll buy you better clothes in the future. For now, you can just make do.”

In her past life, they had been very rich by the end, wearing silk and satin interchangeably. The current clothes were indeed a bit rough for Xizhi, and she still felt that she had neglected her wife.

Shen Xizhi was secretly shocked. Is this still not good enough? She’s going to buy me even better clothes? Why, why is she so good to me…

The young woman was completely bewildered. Could it be that this face is so attractive to her?

Before she could figure it out, she heard her voice again. “I’m going back to town tomorrow to sell pork. You’ll be at home alone. You have to take good care of yourself. If anyone bullies you, you tell me, and I’ll come back and get justice for you. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Xiaobao too. If you can’t, you can ask the sister-in-law next door for help.”

She thought of saving some meat to bring back tomorrow and give it to Sister-in-law Shen. After knowing that she and the original owner had a good relationship, she had been troubling her all along.

“Mmm.”

Shen Xizhi replied in a soft and low voice. On the way back, Song Yugui asked her again if she was tired, and she also shook her head.

The way back was mostly downhill or flat, so it wasn’t very tiring. And besides, in the past, in order to live, she had had to find wild vegetables to eat, find firewood to burn, and also avoid those who hated her, often having to walk very far.

She was already used to walking all the time and didn’t feel very tired.

And yet this person would actually feel sorry for her for being tired from walking. What a strange person.

When the two of them returned home, they saw that the courtyard was already surrounded by several people.

The moment they saw them return, they began to look them up and down with their eyes, then whispered among themselves. Song Yugui immediately had a bad premonition.

In the lead was an elderly man, in his sixties, who looked a little familiar. She seemed to have seen him on the first day she had come over, but she couldn’t remember clearly.

She frowned at them, not knowing what a group of people were doing gathered at her house.

The man tried his best to compose himself, but when he saw the brand new clothes on Shen Xizhi, he couldn’t help but his face darken. “Shuhe, is this the widow from Songjia Village, Shen Xizhi?”

They had heard this morning that Li Shuhe was with the widow who had been driven out of Songjia Village, and that they had even gone to town together, and she had bought her new clothes. They were very unhappy. With that kind of spare money, there were still many young girls in the village she could support. His family also had a little granddaughter. Why raise an outsider, and such a vicious outsider at that!

Song Yugui didn’t know what the original Li Shuhe’s personality was, but she couldn’t pretend to be someone else for a lifetime, so she still maintained her own nature. Sensing that the other had ill intentions, her face suddenly turned cold. “So what if she is? Do you have something to say?”

The original owner was very fierce, and when she had a cold face, she was even more intimidating. The man who had spoken was at a loss for words for a moment. Then there was more whispering from behind, and someone else was also dissatisfied with her. “This is a person who was driven out of Songjia Village. What’s the meaning of our Lijia Village taking her in?”

“That’s right, that’s right! Isn’t this going against Songjia Village?”

Shen Xizhi lowered her eyes. From the moment she had seen this group of people, the worry in her heart had not stopped. She could clearly feel their ill intentions and malice toward her. Will I be chased out again?

Although it wasn’t snowing today, it was still very cold.

Shen Xizhi looked up again at the woman standing in front of her. A dark light flashed in her eyes. She suddenly felt that she couldn’t just sit and wait for their judgment. She should do something, do something for herself.

But she only knew how to seduce people.

Song Yugui was extremely annoyed with this group of inexplicable people and frowned fiercely. “I’m the one raising her. I’m not asking you for money. You’re even managing how many people are in my family. Are you the Jade Emperor?”

She was very annoyed. You’re insane, meddling in other people’s wives.

The leading man had originally thought that she would speak to them kindly as usual, after several concessions. But he hadn’t expected her to be so rude today, and his brow furrowed even more, enough to crush a passing mosquito. “How did your parents teach you, to let you talk to your elders like this! She’s a murderer! If you’re with her, you’ll be killed by her sooner or later!”

“Who did she kill? Who died?!” Song Yugui asked.

The man was just about to answer when he suddenly realized that the person who had been pushed off the cliff had indeed not died, so he changed his tune. “Her wife died for no reason. It was probably her who killed her. She used to be a butcher like you, but then she just stopped for no reason. After she married Shen Xizhi, she just stayed at home and did nothing every day. This person must be unlucky, not a virtuous wife. Do you want to be like her too!”

The man was heartbroken. He felt that Shen Xizhi was just picking on butchers. She had just gotten rid of one Butcher Song, and now she was eyeing the butcher from their Lijia Village.

Song Yugui sneered. “Don’t talk nonsense without any evidence. She was lazy and did nothing because she was lazy herself. How can you blame that on someone else? Have you no shame?”

Seeing her not giving an inch, the other’s eyes were like they were about to spit fire as he looked at Shen Xizhi. “I think you’ve really been tricked by this woman. The people of Songjia Village used to say she loved to seduce people, and now it seems it’s really true! Even you have been so bewitched by her that you’ve lost your soul. How can you face your newly deceased parents like this! Your mother told you to take good care of your younger sister. Is this how you take care of her? Don’t let your younger sister also die at the hands of this poisonous woman one day!”

The old man’s beard was trembling with anger.

Li Shuhe’s family only had her and a little baby. They had all set their sights on getting some money from her family. She was a person from Lijia Village and naturally had to contribute to Lijia Village. But now all her money was being spent on others. How could they not be anxious?

The more Shen Xizhi listened to the other’s words, the more shocked she became, especially when he mentioned Song Yugui’s death. Her small face turned deathly pale, and she nervously went closer to the person in front of her, afraid that she would really listen to their words and chase her away.

Song Yugui had already been so angered by this group of people who meddled in other people’s business that she was about to curse. Her finger was held, and she subconsciously turned her head. Before she could compose her angry expression, she met a pair of slightly red eyes. The woman looked extremely pitiful, her red lips slightly pressed together, her eyes covered in a thin layer of mist as she asked in a small voice, “You don’t want me anymore either?”

You don’t want me anymore either…

This expression, paired with this sentence, was simply a critical hit. Song Yugui’s heart was instantly pricked with a dense pain, as if it were being pricked with needles. My poor wife! My wife is already pitiful enough! What are you doing! Don’t bully my wife!

She was immediately furious. She just comforted Xizhi gently, saying she wouldn’t not want her. The moment she turned her head, she was as fierce as a demon. “Nonsense! These are all things without any evidence! On what grounds do you say that about her? My parents taught me to be fair and have a conscience when I do things, not like your family, who convicts people based on hearsay!”

“You… you’re getting more and more ridiculous! You even dare to insult your elders! Look at this Shen Xizhi’s foxy face. How can she be a good person! If you’re with her and are deceived in the future, don’t blame us for not reminding you!”

Shen Xizhi had married a woman and had later become a widow. In a ten-li radius, she was also famous. Her life was as poor as it could be. How could she afford such good clothes? It must have been Li Shuhe who had bought them for her. In the past, when Li Shuhe had money, she would also help out the poor relatives in the village. Now that she had this woman, all of it would probably be spent on her!

How could this not make people angry!

“You’re the one with the foxy face! You’re just jealous that she’s beautiful because you’re ugly yourself! You’re so old, yet you have no respect for your elders! You dare to ruin someone’s reputation without any evidence! You’re the one with no manners!”

Shen Xizhi was behind her, holding Song Yugui’s wrist. Hearing her every word siding with her, not easily moved by others, a hint of relief appeared in her eyes. I can stay.

But she still gently swayed Li Shuhe’s hand from behind, hiding behind her with her large eyes timid, and said, “They’re glaring at me. Shuhe, I’m scared…”

Did you hear that? My wife is scared!

Seeing Song Yugui’s bad attitude and seeing that their leader was so angry, the others all went up to persuade her, saying nothing more than that she and Shen Xizhi were not related and that it was not proper for her to raise her. They urged her to chase her out, as it was not good for one person to ruin the reputation of a whole village.

Song Yugui didn’t listen to this nonsense at all. And with Xizhi behind her saying she was scared, she just swept her angry gaze over the crowd and said indignantly, “I’ll go to the government office tomorrow and sign a marriage contract with Shen Xizhi! As my wife, what’s wrong with her living at my house? If the village can’t accommodate us, then let the village chief come and talk to me.”

She said she wanted the village chief to talk, but in her heart, she was already thinking that if it didn’t work out, she would just earn more money and take Xizhi to live in town. She couldn’t let Xizhi stay here and be looked at with cold eyes. In her past life, she and Xizhi had also moved to town in the end.

It was just that raising pigs in the countryside would be a little more troublesome.

Seeing her still wanting to marry her, the man who had been trying to dissuade her was first greatly shocked, then, hearing her say she wanted the village chief to talk, his expression became a little embarrassed. “How can the village chief manage such a small matter? You… you’re not a lesbian, are you?”

Li Shuhe’s family had also been rich, always selling pork for a living. They owned the most land in the village and were also generous to their relatives. If it weren’t for her parents falling seriously ill one after another and spending a lot of money, they would have already saved enough money to live in town. And the village chief had a good relationship with her family. How could he not accommodate her?

Song Yugui’s face was cold. “Yes, I’m a lesbian. So what? Xizhi, you can go in first. Don’t worry, I won’t not want you.”

She didn’t want Xizhi to stay and watch these people scold her and wanted to coax her back first. She was about to lose her temper and curse, and she also didn’t want to leave a bad impression on Xizhi, lest her path to chasing her wife be long and arduous.

But Shen Xizhi was uneasy in her heart, afraid that these people would talk nonsense, and also afraid that she would be moved by them and refuse to leave. It was the first time since she had been picked up yesterday that she had shown a clingy appearance, her delicate body rubbing against her as she said in a small voice that she wanted to stay and accompany her, afraid that she would be bullied by them.

Song Yugui was bewitched again. She thought, They’ve already scolded you. And you’re still afraid I’ll be bullied? She felt even more sorry for Xizhi’s miserable plight. Looking at the aggressive relatives, her face turned black. She had just been trying to save face, but they had hinted that she had no manners. Now they were directly cursing, so much so that the group of people who were used to getting benefits from Li Shuhe were all stunned.

Shen Xizhi was also shocked and looked up in surprise. This person had always been so gentle to her. She had thought she was a good-tempered person, but it turned out… she was so irritable and fierce.

Paired with that face, it was even more scary.

What ‘dad’ and ‘mom’? How can she not have any taboos?

The young woman quickly turned her head away, also a little scared. So fierce. Will she also scold me in the future?

Only then did Sister-in-law Shen’s husband return from the fields. He was pushed by Sister-in-law Shen to mediate and finally managed to separate the two sides.

He was also surprised. “Shuhe’s temper has always been the best. What did you do to make her so angry?”

Song Yugui understood. The original owner, although fierce-looking, was a good person in the village. No wonder they dared to bully her.

“Hah, it’s just being disrespectful to one’s elders.”

Li Yan: …

He was surprised. “Shuhe, you… how can you say such a thing?”

She looked at the group of relatives who had been so angry at her scolding that they were glaring at them but didn’t dare to make a sound, then turned and took Shen Xizhi’s hand, saying warmly, “You wait a little while. I’ll go and get Xiaobao back, and then we’ll go in and ignore them.”

She arranged it on her own.

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Shen quickly brought Xiaobao over and persuaded her, “We’re all relatives. Why do we have to argue so fiercely?”

She had wanted to say it just now, but she was a married-in woman and couldn’t speak. Hadn’t she seen that this group of people hadn’t even brought a wife with them? She didn’t know what kind of pedantic thinking it was, looking down on women so much.

“They should be the ones not to meddle in other people’s business. What does my business have to do with them?”

“Yes, yes. They were also meddling in other people’s business. Then you can take Xiaobao and this… this person back first. Your brother can talk to them here.”

Sister-in-law Shen’s husband, Li Yan, and Li Shuhe were very close cousins. In the past, they would even call each other ‘brother’ and ‘sister-in-law’ without the ‘cousin’.

Song Yugui really didn’t want to get entangled with them anymore. They were like they had no brains, so stubborn and unyielding, so stupid it was infuriating. It was tiring to say even one more word.

“Mmm, then Xizhi and I will go back first. Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law, for helping us take care of Xiaobao.”

“It’s nothing. Hurry back.”

Xiaobao was still doing nothing, naively chewing on her fingers. Seeing Song Yugui, she smiled and drooled.

This messy look was really a little disgusting.

Shen Xizhi poked her head out from behind her. The child also smiled at her. She was a very good and easy-to-raise child.

She had just received Li Shuhe’s protection, and her heart finally had a little less repulsion toward the idea of seducing and serving her. She said obediently, “I’ll watch the child. You… you can go and do other things.”

She bought me food today, bought me new clothes, and bought me medicine. I should be more gentle and submissive to her.

Shen Xizhi thought to herself.

Song Yugui felt that she had been wronged and stroked her head with pity. She then nuzzled the palm of that hand, her eyes clear, with a hint of dependence.

Can an outsider not tell the truth? Can a person who has been with her for decades not tell?

Her acting skills are getting better and better. If she were in modern times, she would at least be a famous actress.

But since this look was directed at her, Song Yugui still felt very happy. She rubbed her a couple more times, messing up her hair.

Shen Xizhi was not very happy, but she didn’t say it, just looked at her quietly.

Song Yugui then surrendered repeatedly. “Alright, I’ll help you tie it again in a little while. Don’t be angry.”

She went to rub her small face again but didn’t feel much meat. Her heart was filled with regret. My Xizhi’s chubby face is gone.

Shen Xizhi pressed her lips together. It wasn’t that she wanted her to tie it. She didn’t resist, meaning she could touch her as she pleased. Although she really didn’t like her hair being messed up, if it was Li Shuhe, she could rub it as she pleased.

Seeing that Song Yugui was no longer touching her, she also didn’t say anything, just lowered her head quietly, occasionally teasing the Xiaobao in Song Yugui’s arms a couple of times.

Then Xiaobao was logically in her arms. Song Yugui waved her hand. “You watch the child. We only had congee for lunch, which is not filling. I’ll go and make something to eat. After we eat, I’ll brew the medicine for you.”

Thinking of her plan to please Song Yugui, she couldn’t help but take the initiative to say, “I… I’ll cook. You’re the pillar of the family. You can just rest.”

Song Yugui: …

This sounded a little familiar. It seemed that the former Xizhi had also said it.

She shook her head. “No need. You can rest for another day. Are you dizzy? Do you still want to cough?”

She had been coughing all the way just now, but now she wasn’t.

Shen Xizhi shook her head obediently. “I don’t want to cough.”

Then she said with a voice as pleasant as a spring, shyly, “Shuhe, you’re so good to me.”

And then she pressed her body against her, touching this lesbian.

Everyone hopes that their contributions will be seen.

Sure enough, hearing this, the other’s eyes lit up, and she said with a chuckle, “Of course. I like you, so of course I’ll be good to you.”

She hadn’t said she liked her yesterday. Today, it seemed to be her first time saying she liked her.

Shen Xizhi’s heart was completely unmoved, just single-mindedly trying to please her.

Anything is fine, as long as you always stand in front of me and protect me.

By the time Song Yugui went to the kitchen to cook, the few old men in the village had already left. Li Yan came over to talk to her about something. Her nasty words today had simply shocked Li Yan’s ears, and she had also made enemies with those few relatives. He was here to mediate and also to persuade her to calm down, not to really think of marrying Shen Xizhi. Even if she liked her and wanted to raise her, she should still consider it for a while. After all, they were both women, and it was fine for them to live together.

He had originally been very much against Shen Xizhi staying at her house after hearing his wife say that Shuhe had brought her home last night. But today, when he suddenly heard her say she wanted to marry Shen Xizhi, he immediately agreed. Living together is living together. It’s better than getting married.

The evil deeds Shen Xizhi had done were witnessed by everyone in the village. She was really not suitable to be married into the family.

That’s what he thought, and he had also taken a step back. Who knew that Song Yugui was unwilling to take a single step back, as if she were in her rebellious phase, and insisted on marrying Shen Xizhi.

Li Yan had said all the good words he could, but she just wouldn’t listen. Finally, he was so angry he ran away.

Song Yugui sighed and returned to the room.

Seeing her return, Shen Xizhi quickly stood up. She knew she had just been called out by someone, probably for her sake.

So her heart was very nervous, waiting for her answer.

The moment Song Yugui came in, she was sighing. This made her heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

Shen Xizhi couldn’t smile anymore and looked at her with sad, beautiful eyes.

When she looked up, she almost jumped out of her skin.

“Wh-what’s wrong? Did Xiaobao bully you?”

She was fine when I left. How did she suddenly become so sad? There’s only Xizhi and Xiaobao in the room. It can’t be that Xizhi suddenly became sad on her own. Then it can only be…

She looked at the only-a-few-months-old Xiaobao with a condemning expression.

Shen Xizhi’s snowy white teeth bit her rosy lip. She put the child aside, went up, and suddenly pulled at a corner of her clothes. After waiting for a little while, she heard her voice carry a hint of a sob, frail and in a small voice, as she asked, “You don’t want me anymore?”

After she asked, she actually took the initiative to lean her whole body into her embrace. She seemed to know very well that Song Yugui liked her to show weakness.

She would always feel sorry for her the moment she saw it.

Seeing this, Song Yugui’s heart indeed ached. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she held the person leaning against her in her embrace, gently rubbing her shoulder, her tone a little angry. “Who said so! Who said I don’t want you? How could I not want you? Didn’t I just say outside that I was going to marry you?”

How did Xizhi’s little head grow? This life, she’s even more prone to overthinking than the last.

Seeing her frown and deny it, Shen Xizhi’s originally fallen heart rose a little, and her eyes also lit up.

“Really? Then just now… what did that person come to talk to you about?”

Little Zhier’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at her.

Song Yugui paused, then still chose to be frank, but her tone was quite indignant. “He wanted me to raise you without a name or a status. How can I do such a beastly thing! Of course I refused him!”

Shen Xizhi didn’t dare to say that she was actually willing to be raised without a name or a status. If she had a status… she was afraid that she would be like Song Yugui, good to everyone else but cruel to her own wife, without any mercy.

“Mmm… then why did you sigh just now?”

Song Yugui had been with Xizhi for decades. Hearing her ask so nonchalantly, she quickly understood that this was the main point and immediately explained herself.

“I fiercely rejected her brother, no, my brother. I feel like they’ll never help me with Xiaobao again. The thought of having to raise the child by myself made me sigh. What, did you misunderstand?”

Shen Xizhi’s pretty face turned red. It really was a misunderstanding.

She was coy for a while but still didn’t get up from Song Yugui’s embrace.

Mmm, then… then I’ll just take it as her thank you for helping me today and let her hold me for a little while.

The young woman thought to herself.

Song Yugui didn’t just hold her. Seeing Xizhi being unusually obedient, she held her in her arms and rubbed and squeezed her. At first, she had been anxious, afraid that her path to chasing her wife would be even longer. But she found that Xizhi was not angry!

She’s not even angry. What’s wrong with me touching her a couple more times!

Song Yugui was righteous.

Shen Xizhi’s long, thick lashes were shyly lowered, and she bit her tongue to suppress the strange sound in her mouth, making her look quiet and obedient.

It wasn’t until she had had her fill of rubbing her and had let go that she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, This Li Shuhe is also too clingy. Then how did she manage before when she had no woman by her side? No, that’s not right. I may not be the only woman by her side. Lesbians are all very frivolous, promiscuous, and lecherous. The first time she saw me, she was attracted to my appearance and even said she wanted to marry me. She must have treated others like this before.

For some reason, Shen Xizhi’s heart felt a little stuffy, but she couldn’t care about other people’s business.

As long as Li Shuhe can give me a chance to live, it’s fine. As long as I’m alive, it’s fine.

Thinking this, Shen Xizhi’s voice was gentle. “It’s alright. I can stay at home and take care of Xiaobao. I’ll take good care of her.”

She had never taken care of a child before, but if she didn’t say she was good, she was afraid Li Shuhe would think she was useless.

“Mmm, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Song Yugui saw through this person’s little thoughts at a glance and just felt that Xizhi was also very cute like this, so cute that her mouth was a little itchy.

She looked at Xiaobao, who was lying on the bed, smiling so widely she couldn’t see her eyes and still trying to interact with them, nonchalantly. She coughed lightly and said with a gentle, negotiating tone, “I’ll kiss you, and then I’ll go and make dinner, okay?”

Shen Xizhi: …

This person, if she wants to kiss, she can just kiss. Why so many words? How am I supposed to reply?

She lowered her eyes as if she were a little shy. This was an agreement, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

So she held the woman’s smooth, snowy white neck and nibbled on her face.

“Ya!”

Shen Xizhi’s eyes widened slightly, extremely panicked. Song Yugui pretended not to have heard, and her first bite had been a little too hard, bumping her.

Her soft, tender tongue licked her face lightly, as if to comfort her.

But Shen Xizhi didn’t understand the mood and thought sullenly in her heart, You bit me and didn’t even care, and you even got saliva all over my face. Didn’t you say you were just going to kiss me? This is clearly licking, constantly licking.

“Good baby.”

After she had finished licking, she was afraid that Xizhi would flare up and quickly tried to coax her. But she had forgotten that the current Xizhi would not be angry with her at all. Xizhi was just hoping that she would be happy.

Even if her face had a red tooth mark on it from being bitten, and her heart was unhappy, her face was not at all concerned, just obediently facing her.

Aiya, my mouth is itching again. Why don’t I kiss the other side too?

By the time Song Yugui went out to cook happily, Shen Xizhi was sitting on the bed with two red marks on her face, like a wronged little wife, holding a child.

The child was very obedient, just crying occasionally. As long as someone played with her, she would always smile.

Shen Xizhi actually didn’t know how to coax a child either. She poked her head out and looked outside cautiously. It seemed that a faint smoke was rising, so she should have already started cooking.

She secretly went to rub the child’s tender face, thinking in her heart, Your sister bullied me, so I’ll bully you.

Xiaobao had been looking at her and blowing bubbles. After being rubbed for a while, she saw that she was still rubbing and not interacting with her, so she suddenly started to cry at the top of her lungs.

Even a well-behaved child’s cry was very scary. Song Yugui rushed in from outside with a spatula in her hand, her face blank and uncomprehending. “What’s wrong, what’s wrong?”

But she only saw her wife holding Xiaobao in a panic, clumsily coaxing her, not even daring to lift her head to look at her.

She didn’t look at all like she would be able to take good care of a child…
