Happiness System

Chapter 8: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (7)

"Ding, wakaka, host, the second male lead is really a perfect man! He got up several times in the middle of the night just because he was worried that you would get sick from the wind yesterday!"

After returning home yesterday, Qin Yunxi let the little system out. As soon as it came out, the little system kept complaining that she went out to play without taking it with her, and she almost locked it back into the little dark room!

Look, it starts again as soon as I wake up!

"00, what time is it now?" Qin Yunxi glanced at it.

"Ding, host, now is the end of the Si hour, which is half past ten. You have been sleeping until now. In modern times, it is called sleeping in, but nowadays it is definitely unruly and unvirtuous! You will be disliked by your in-laws, and in serious cases, you will be set rules by your mother-in-law... You lazy guy, you don't even know to get up and serve your husband when the sun is shining on your butt. My Mu family is so unlucky to marry you..." Give it a pair of small hands and it can make a teapot shape, which is more imposing!

"That's enough! Drama queen! I'm the only one left in my husband's family now, and I'm the one in charge. Who can set rules for me?" She rolled her eyes.

I always feel that today is colder than yesterday. Isn't it spring? Shouldn't it be getting hotter and hotter?

"00, why is it so cold today?" Qin Yunxi rubbed his hands, went to the closet and took out a thicker piece of clothing to put on.

She was afraid of the cold to begin with, and now this useless body was even more afraid of the cold.

"Damn, host, it rained last night. It's a late spring cold snap, that's normal!" The little cloud floated around in the house, spinning happily.

"Madam, are you up? Are you feeling unwell?" Mu Jingheng walked over when he heard the noise.

"It's fine, just cold..." I was about to complain, but when I turned around and saw his thin cotton coat that was so washed that it looked white, I didn't feel like saying anything more.

As soon as the original owner got married, she fell into self-pity and didn't pay any attention to her husband, the second male lead.

However, the second male lead not only took good care of her when she was sick, but also spent all the money he had saved for the county exam, and then copied books day and night just to buy fine rice and medicine for her.

He married the original owner, the so-called "golden baby", but not only did his life not improve at all, his already poor life became even worse!

The original owner's closet was almost full of clothes, and the second male lead could hardly find even a decent piece of clothing.

This shows how little the original owner cared about the man and the family.

The second male lead, however, repays evil with kindness, only because of her identity as his wife and the help the original owner's grandmother had once given him.

But she thought he was stupid!

Maybe she is a selfish person at heart!

"Madam?" Mu Jingheng called her when he saw that she was in a daze again.

"Ah? What?" Qin Yunxi came back to her senses.

"It's a bit cold today. Do you want to eat in the dormitory?"

"No, it smells!" He looked quite disgusted.

"Well, the rice is warm in the pot." Then he walked out.

When Qin Yunxi arrived at the kitchen, he had already prepared the water for her.

She picked up the warm water next to her and rinsed her mouth, then reached her hand into the washbasin. The hot water was warm and comfortable. She played with the water for a while before taking out the towel, wrung it dry, and washing her face.

To be honest, I am not used to brushing my teeth without a toothbrush in the morning. The original owner used to wipe them with a towel dipped in tooth powder. The tooth powder was used up before I got sick this time, and I had no money to refill it.

Fortunately, she is not a germaphobe, otherwise she would be so frustrated by the toothbrush that she would bang her head against the wall.

These past two days she has just rinsed her mouth and defecated with plain water. She has not been given any strong-tasting food and does not go out. It's okay for her to be a little sloppy.

Mu Jingheng had already brought the meal to her, and it was still hot.

"Ding, host, the second male lead saw that you didn't get up, so he kept staring at the pot and added firewood to heat up your rice!" The Little Cloud System had stars in its eyes.

Qin Yunxi ate her meal without changing her expression, but she kept complaining about the broken system in her heart. There was no mute function! If she hadn't promised yesterday not to shut it down today...

"When are we going to Qingteng County? What preparations do we need to make?" She asked when someone brought the medicine and sat opposite her.

Normally he would put down his things and go back to the study to read.

Mu Jingheng glanced at the sky outside and frowned, saying, "It should rain heavily in the next few days. We'd better go out as soon as possible, otherwise the coach house may not be willing to send out a coach."

Qin Yunxi paused, put down his chopsticks and looked outside. It was cloudy, and there was no sign of rain, nor anything special.

Seeing her bewildered look, Mu Jingheng explained, "When my grandfather was young, he traveled with the escort company and learned the skill of observing the celestial phenomena. He once gave me some pointers."

She was talking about the grandfather of the Mu family, but she really didn't know that. The original owner only remembered that she married an orphan and a poor scholar, and she didn't know anything else about her husband's family.

Based on her observations over the past two days, if this person said he had learned something, then he must have learned about 70% to 80%.

"Then let's get going early! The only valuable things at home are my clothes and your books. It shouldn't be hard to pack them up." That's it? It's easy!

Qin Yunxi continued to eat. Apart from anything else, the second male lead was really considerate. When he came back yesterday, he brought her new rice to cook and also boiled two eggs. He himself ate the old rice and coarse grains mixed together that she disliked.

She said that the porridge didn't even come with pickles and it didn't go well with rice, so I made some for her today and it tasted pretty good.

"The pickles are good. Let's buy some more and take them to the county!" He said as he thought about it.

Mu Jingheng looked at her with a puzzled look and said, "This is the pickled vegetables made by Aunt Luo next door. We don't have enough money to begin with, and if we go to Qingteng County early, we may not be able to make it to the exam."

As he saw that she had finished her meal, he pushed the medicine to her.

Qin Yunxi opened her mouth and was about to speak, but when she saw this, she looked at the black medicine with a bitter face and said, "Can I not drink it?"

"This bowl of medicine is equivalent to our food rations for half a month." Mu Jingheng refused with a serious face.

After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was too blunt, so he softened his tone and said, "Auntie Fatty in the village is very good at making candied fruits. You drink the medicine first, and I will go and get you some later!"

Is this to coax her child?

Qin Yunxi hardened her heart, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

Bitter! Even more bitter than the medicine from the day before yesterday!

She picked up the jug of water beside her and drank a glass, which finally helped her to suppress the nausea.

Mu Jingheng was silent for a while and then quietly put away the dishes and washed them.

Qin Yunxi ignored the small system flying around, thought for a while, went back to the bedroom to find the package of embroidery, thought about it, and put half of it back.

Just as I finished packing my things, Mu Jingheng pushed the door and walked in.

"Jingheng, come here quickly!" Qin Yunxi waved at him.

Seeing him approach, she held up the embroidery in her hand and showed it to him, "Look, this is what I embroidered in the past. Isn't it beautiful? How much silver do you think it can be exchanged for?"

"It's beautiful. Your embroidery is so lifelike and vivid. It's just that your husband has never been familiar with embroidery and doesn't know its value." She looked particularly serious.

"It's valuable anyway. In the past, I always had some money left after exchanging a lot of things!" Qin Yunxi pouted, very dissatisfied with his answer.

"Well, my lady is an expert, if she says it's good, it must be excellent."

Qin Yunxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "They say we don't lack money! The money you have just needs to be enough for the trip to Qingteng County. It's better to go earlier and rent a house before your exam. It's better to stay at home for the exam than in a noisy inn."

Mu Jingheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Outsiders all say that I, Mu, married a golden child. It is true. The world really does not deceive me!" He never felt that using his wife's money would hurt his self-esteem. Sooner or later, he would return it double!

"Hmph, how can I lie to you? Time is tight, so hurry up and prepare, and save some money for the trip. All my clothes are good, don't forget to bring them all with you." He looks like he's telling you that if I hug your big thick legs, you'd better know what's best.

After a moment's silence, Mu Jingheng said, "There is no rush to pack. I just needed help from a classmate yesterday, so I have to go and thank him. I also need to go to the village head to get a certificate and then go to the town's deputy yamen to get a pass. My wife is not feeling well and should go to the coach shop to book a car in advance."

Qin Yunxi thought for a while and it seemed that there were many places where money would be needed, so she found out the silver and gave him another ounce, saying, "Don't look at me, I've given you all the money in the house, there's no more! When you go to the town to do business, you must buy yourself two sets of clothes first, so that when you go out, no one will say you are a servant!"

Mu Jingheng chuckled as he held the silver. His wife was caring now, but her temper was still as weird as ever.

"What are you laughing at! Don't you have a lot of things to do? Hurry up and go out and do them! I don't want to travel in the rain. Remember, I want to take a horse-drawn carriage, not an ox-drawn cart!"

She put her hands on her hips and thought she looked fierce, but in fact she looked a bit like a cute little kitten with bared teeth and claws.

"It is my honor to be your servant! Since you are in a hurry to go to Qingteng, I can't delay any longer. You can stay at home and I will be back soon. If you are tired, you can lie down for a while." Mu Jingheng couldn't help but rub her head.

Qin Yunxi slapped his hand away, pretended to be angry and hit him, saying: "Go quickly, go quickly! Don't delay my entry into the city!"

With her strength, she even thinks tickling is too light.

But for fear of angering her, Mu Jingheng did not dare to tease her. He changed his clothes and went out.

As soon as the others left, Qin Yunxi's face immediately turned cold.

She sneered at the small system: "What? Do you think you can be fearless just because I promised not to lock you up in the small dark room? Do you think I will go back on my word?"

The small system had a gloomy face and begged for mercy: "Damn, host, 00 shut up! Please don't lock me up in the dark room." It has a miserable life, and each host is more troublesome than the other!

"Be quiet from now on. I don't need anyone telling me what to do!" You little rookie system, you want to be my boss! Humph!

"Ding, 00 got it. I will keep quiet from now on, host!" The little system said listlessly.

Qin Yunxi snorted without comment. After her research and testing, she found that this so-called System 00 was a "newborn" rookie.

The previous mission host died early for unknown reasons, and she was the second host.

She's just a newbie, so don't blame her for being rude!
