Chapter 329: Be My Wife
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Shan Jiefu heard from Lu Ye that tapioca was edible, he was dumbfounded. After a while, he looked at Lu Ye with a doubtful expression.
Lu Ye knew that no one would believe his claim.
After all, when he found out that the tapiocas could be eaten, he also suffered a huge blow. Later on, he even regretted not digging up all the tapiocas he had seen in the past few years.
Lu Ye dragged Shan Jiefu to the place where Auntie Yang was cooking.
Many people were setting up tents and stoves at the same time. They were well-trained and were not inferior to the soldiers like them who had been camping for many years.
This confused him again. Had these men, women, and children also joined in the army before?
Before Shan Jiefu could voice his inner doubts, Lu Ye explained, “These people were on the escape previously.”
Shan Jiefu was even more confused. Were the requirements for escape so high these days?
Auntie Yang’s att.i.tude towards Lu Ye was not bad previously. Ever since Gu Liancheng came to target Bai Wutong, and Lu Ye protected Gu Liancheng and took care of her, everyone no longer had a good att.i.tude towards him.
Lu Ye smiled and said, “Auntie, can I see the pancake you made from tapioca?”
Auntie Yang rolled her eyes. “There’s no more.”
Lu Ye nodded amiably. “Then I’ll come and take a look later.”
Auntie Yang was so arrogant, but Lu Ye was actually not angry!!!
Shan Jiefu frowned unhappily. ‘Why are you so polite to a woman!” It was because he had spoiled them that they were so arrogant.
He gave Lu Ye an expression that said, “Watch me!” and he shouted to Auntie Yang, “Hey! If there’s no more, make some now!”
“I’m hungry. Hurry up!”
With that, he dug out a piece of silver and threw it in front of Auntie Yang.
He was as smug as he could be.
Before he joined the army, he was a hooligan and knew how to bully the commoners the best.
After joining the army, he had changed a lot. When he saw that Lu Ye was ignored by Auntie Yang, he fell back to his old habits.
Moreover, he felt that if he paid, he had the right to ask Auntie Yang to make the pancake for him to eat.
Auntie Yang glanced at the silver pieces on the ground and shouted, “Xiao san! ”
When Zhao Pengfei heard his mother’s call, he immediately ran over.
Shan Jiefu was about the same size as Zhao Pengfei, but he looked a little stronger. His face darkened. “What? Do you want to fight?”
In the next second, Zhao Pengfei punched him unexpectedly.
Shan Jiefu did not dodge in time and was knocked to the ground. When he looked up, his nose was bleeding and his nose bridge was almost broken.
Shan Jiefu felt extremely embarra.s.sed. He got up and was about to teach Zhao Pengfei a lesson.
Before he could approach Zhao Pengfei, Zhao Pengfei picked him up and smashed him to the ground.
There was a m.u.f.fled bang. Shan Jiefu felt that his tail bone must have cracked. He lay on the ground and groaned in pain.
Zhao Pengfei looked down from above and took out two taels of silver. He threw it at him like how he had humiliated Auntie Yang. ‘Medical fees. ‘
Lu Ye quickly helped Shan Jiefu up. Shan Jiefu cursed and wanted to settle scores with Zhao Pengfei, but Lu Ye stopped him and reminded him, “There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this team. Don’t make things difficult for yourself.”
Shan Jiefu was unconvinced and shouted, “Little brat, I was careless just now. When I’m ready, I’ll cut you up.”
Zhao Pengfei suddenly lifted a horse. The horse neighed and struggled, but he grabbed it firmly. “Come on, let’s see who cuts who!”
Shan Jiefu was dumbfounded, and so was Lu Ye.
A horse weighed more than 500 kilograms!
Moreover, it was alive. Zhao Pengfei could actually lift it so easily.
It was no wonder that Zhao Pengfei had effortlessly lifted Shan Jiefu just now.
If this man came to their camp, he would definitely be a powerful general.
Shan Jiefu got up and was about to tell Marshal Gu that he had discovered a talent when he suddenly stopped.
Zhao Lanzhi quietly depicted the appearance of a flower. A gentle breeze blew past her face, and it was a peaceful scene.
Suddenly, a man’s hand appeared in front of her. He grabbed the book in her hand and wanted to raise her chin to size up Zhao Lanzhi.
Fortunately, Zhao Lanzhi reacted quickly and jumped away. She shouted at the man in front of her, “Despicable!’
Shan Jiefu, whose b.u.t.t was still in pain, liked it when she scolded him for being despicable. He smiled and said, “Be my wife. I guarantee that you’ll live a good life in the future.”
He had come prepared that day because he wanted to find a satisfactory wife before the others.
When he saw the refined and beautiful Zhao Lanzhi holding the painting book, he fell for her with just a glance.
When Zhao Erwa saw his sister being bullied, he immediately rushed out and scolded, “Pfft, what live a good life. You can’t even feed yourselves, yet you still want to support my sister.”
Zhao Erwa was smart. When he saw them take away the tapiocas that everyone in the team had worked hard to collect, he knew that they could not even feed themselves, yet they still wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h their food.
Shan Jiefu rubbed his nose resentfully and looked at the little brat in front of him. He said confidently, “l definitely will be able to in the future. The emperor will even reward me with a house. When the time comes, I’ll bring your sister to the Imperial City to stay and even buy you candied hawthorn.’
How would Zhao Erwa give in with a stick of candied hawthorn? It was not like he had never eaten candied hawthorn before. Why did he have to go to the Imperial City to eat it? It had not been easy for them to reach the southern frontier.
Zhao Erwa roared, “Who cares about your candied hawthorn? Get lost, or I’ll call for help!”
Shan Jiefu found the little kid quite interesting. He wanted to touch his head, but in the next second, Zhao Erwa bit him hard.
It was the kind that would bite someone to death. Shan Jiefu’s hand started bleeding in an instant.
He had seen many injuries on the battlefield and almost died a few times. He did not take this injury seriously at all.
Shan Jiefu lifted Zhao Erwa’s collar and placed him on the ground. “My skin is hard. Don’t hurt your mouth.”
Judging from his att.i.tude towards Zhao Erwa, if he did not humiliate Zhao Lanzhi, he would not be considered a bad person.
Zhao Lanzhi said to him, “General, please go back.”
Lu Ye also hurriedly pulled Shan Jiefu away, afraid that he would cause trouble agam.
This was a woman from a good family, not a military prost.i.tute who could be provoked casually.
Her gentle and distant expression made Shan Jiefu even more tempted. He took out all his belongings from his pocket. There were three golden chains, two golden bracelets, silver rings, gemstone rings, and so on. He held them all in front of Zhao Lanzhi and said firmly, “This is the betrothal gift. Come back with me now.”
He wanted to announce to the world that he, Shan Jiefu, was leaving his bachelorhood and would be a man with a wife in the future.
In the next second, a huge fist descended from the sky. Shan Jiefu and the treasures he had saved up for many years flew out.
He opened his swollen eyes. Why was it Zhao Pengfei again!!!
It was his mother just now. What did this have to do with him!
Zhao Pengfei looked fierce. “Get lost!” He was a hundred times angrier than before.
“It’s none of your business!”
Zhao Pengfei glanced at Zhao Lanzhi and wanted to announce loudly that Zhao Lanzhi was his fiancée. However, in consideration of Zhao Lanzhi’s thoughts, his words changed again.. “Don’t even think about insulting anyone in our Youjia village with your stinky money!”
