Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Chapter 850 A Selfish and Greedy Country Wife Accompanying the Army (14)

She finished speaking in one breath, huffing and puffing, and then summarized:

"I'm a lazy, gluttonous, wicked, and selfish person. Nobody can bully me!"

Mu Zhou glared at Cheng Lifeng:

"Did she also say that she should have married you? That's right, my stepmother wanted to use me to make money so that she could marry you and live a good life. That's when I heard these things, so I went to find my uncle."

Thinking of the grievances she felt back then, Mu Zhou's eyes reddened. Not wanting to shed tears in front of Cheng Lifeng, she turned her head and rubbed her eyes hard.

"What's wrong with wanting a good life? Isn't she the same? Why do you say I'm selfish, lazy, greedy, and cunning?"

Mu Zhou calmed down slightly, but her tone was still a bit sharp:

"I'm just a lazy bum; my previous obedience was all an act to fool you!"

At this moment, she was highly aggressive and on full defensive.

In the years when no one taught her manners, she learned a principle on her own: kindness is often taken advantage of.

You have to be tough and have a bad temper to avoid being treated casually.

So after confronting Cheng Lifeng, she tried her best to show him that she was not someone to be bullied.

She can just leave now, no matter what.

She thought she was already very fierce, but in Cheng Lifeng's eyes, she was still like a bristling tabby cat bluffing.

His deep eyes seemed to soften as he spoke softly:

"Don't lie to me."

"……what?"

Mu Zhou stared at him with wide, puzzled eyes.

Cheng Lifeng looked at her:

"You don't need to pretend to be well-behaved to deceive me, just be yourself."

Because of her guilty conscience, she inadvertently revealed her true feelings, which made Cheng Lifeng inexplicably feel relieved.

During this period, the two got along quite harmoniously.

But he could tell that she was trying to please him in every way, indulging her own whims.

She always looked at him cautiously, as if she were very afraid.

He didn't like the way she was.

She wants to say what she wants to say and do what she wants to do.

Mu Zhou looked somewhat dazed.

She stared blankly at Cheng Lifeng, somewhat not understanding what he was saying.

The usually serious Cheng Lifeng suddenly felt like teasing her, and he said:

"Actually, I only said 'it's inconvenient' to your cousin and sent her away. That was the only sentence I said from beginning to end."

So, my cousin didn't even have a chance to say anything.

Upon realizing this, Mu Zhou was completely stunned.

She jumped up, filled with regret.

How could she be so reckless, confessing all at once?

She bit her lip in frustration, feeling a bit like blaming Cheng Lifeng, but then realized it was unreasonable.

I can only sulk myself.

Cheng Lifeng also stood up:

"Your cousin won't bother you anymore, so don't worry about her."

He has already given the word, so she will probably be sent back soon.

After being punished by the police, she will probably lose her job.

Cheng Lifeng is always very sensitive to people's malice.

He could tell that his cousin disliked and harbored ill will towards Mu Zhou.

Let's take preventative measures and not give her any more chances.

Mu Zhou was somewhat surprised by his words, but her face indeed relaxed considerably.

But thinking about the somewhat foolish things he had done in his stress response, he secretly regretted it.

Cheng Lifeng took the kimchi that Sister Zhang had brought into the kitchen and put it away.

When she returned, she saw Mu Zhou still standing there angrily, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, a smile spreading across her face.

However, remembering what she had said earlier, he became slightly more serious:

"Everything else is fine. If you don't like doing housework, then don't do it. You're the older sister, so it's not a big deal for you to discipline your younger siblings. But stealing money..."

Mu Zhou hurriedly explained:

"That money came from the gold ring my mother left me, which they sold. I was so angry that I stole it and spent it all."

When she talked about her biological mother, her nose tingled again.

Looking at her red eyes, Cheng Lifeng felt a tightness in his chest and a feeling of heaviness in his chest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand."

He apologized in silence.

Mu Zhou shook his head:

"It's not your fault, it's my fault for not explaining clearly."

She was just about to give up on herself, which is why she said that on purpose.

Cheng Lifeng suddenly turned around and went back to his room. He returned shortly afterward, carrying an iron box.

He opened it and placed it on the table.

It was full of money and all sorts of tickets.

Mu Zhou's eyes widened.

This huge stack must be worth at least several thousand.

There couldn't possibly be ten thousand...

Although there are quite a few people with tens of thousands of yuan now, it still feels like such a lot of money only exists in legends.

She made no attempt to hide her greedy nature, glancing at the money before looking longingly at Cheng Lifeng.

Cheng Lifeng pushed the box toward her:

"This is all my money. It's all yours from now on. You can spend it however you want."

A man gives all his possessions to a woman and lets her spend them as she pleases.

Mu Zhou naturally knew what this meant.

but……

Doesn't he mind her bad reputation?

For the first time, Mu Zhou didn't think about the money, but instead took a step forward to get closer to him.

"Do you want to live a good life with me?"

She looked up and asked him earnestly.

She needs an answer.

Cheng Lifeng lowered his eyes to meet her gaze, a fleeting glint of color appearing in his eyes.

"Yes."

His answer was also solemn.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Mu Zhou first pursed his lips, and then, unable to help, slowly curved the corners of his lips into a smile.

She took his wrist, her dark eyes shining with an astonishing light:

"Then, from now on I'll really consider you my husband, and you can't dislike me."

Her approach made Cheng Lifeng stiffen, and his arm instinctively tensed up.

His expression was serious:

"I've always considered you my wife."

Mu Zhou's hands were fleshy and soft, pressing against him, causing a strange itch to rise in his palm.

Sensing that the softness wanted to leave, he flipped his hand and immediately took control, enveloping the softness.

Mu Zhou's small hand trembled.

She always thought her hands were rough and calloused from years of working, but she never expected that Cheng Lifeng's palms were even rougher.

The barely perceptible rub against the back of her hand sent shivers down her spine for no apparent reason.

She didn't struggle; instead, she moved closer to him quietly, tilting her head back to ask:

"Don't you care about my reputation?"

"Reputation is the most useless and false thing."

He never believed in such illusory things.

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhou nodded vigorously in agreement:

"That's right, that's right. When I was little, I had a good reputation. Everyone in the village said that my father had given birth to a good daughter who was very good at working."

"But at that time, I had to feed the chickens and pigs, do farm work, and when I came back I had to take care of my younger siblings, cook, and sweep the yard. I was busy all day long and still didn't have enough to eat."

"Later, I realized I couldn't be too easy to bully, so I started to slack off. My dad almost beat me to death, but I gritted my teeth and endured it."

She spoke of the past without any self-pity, but Cheng Lifeng's expression darkened.

Mu Zhou looked at him with a sly glint in her eyes:

"And then guess what happened?"

Before he could answer, Mu Zhou smiled and said:

"After that, I really didn't have to do those chores anymore! Although I would get beaten from time to time, I just didn't do anything. I didn't care that the villagers cursed me or that my stepmother ruined my reputation every day. Anyway, I wasn't losing out right now."
