The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

"I feel deeply ashamed!" he said again, "A man of such stature, yet unable to fully protect the woman he loves, always having you follow me and live in constant fear."

"It's the pressure of the situation, and I don't blame you. My only fear is that instead of being able to help you, I might hold you back."

This was the difference in their philosophies. Gu Youyou had always faced difficulties alone. When had she ever needed someone to protect her?

Even if she was scheming to have someone protect her, it was always within her control, merely a tactic for her.

"Good!" Jin Zijin chuckled, whispering softly, "You really do scare me."

He recalled what Xiao Jinyan had said about the affairs of the Jie Family's young master's inner house. Naturally, the matters of the inner house were best handled by the women within. He said, "When you have time, try to find out more about Zuo Zongzheng's second son's inner house."
