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?"

Chapter 702: Feeling Sad

Miss Du scoffed, covering her mouth as she spoke, "Doctor Gu does have a point, but this is a major issue; this is not the place for such a discussion, and it cannot be clarified in a moment. How about I return to Jinxiu City first, and whenever Doctor Gu is available, we can talk in detail?"

Gu Youyou bowed and said, "That was exactly my intention."

...

The Jie Residence became the laughingstock once again, and the tale of Concubine Du furiously burning the woodshed would probably entertain Beijing's gossipmongers for quite some time.

Miss Du arrived, took Concubine Du away, and all the while, the younger Mr. Jie followed them. She did not spare him a second glance.

He deliberately held his injured hand to his chest, but she acted as if she didn't see it, which saddened him greatly.

At dusk, the distressingly melancholic younger Mr. Jie pulled out some liquor, preparing to drown his sorrows all night. No sooner had he taken a sip than his father smashed the liquor jar.
