Chapter 49: I’ll Only Have the Strength to Be Angry After Eating!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll run away with the money?”

Lu Ze didn’t expect Lin Suisui to trust him so much. He wasn’t in a hurry to reach out to take it. Instead, he started a joke with Lin Suisui.

“Who are you? Do you care about this bit of money?!”

Lin Suisui chuckled. She didn’t care about this at all. Or rather, she was completely confident that he didn’t care about this sum of money. “Besides, it’s just a matter of money. Are you worried that I won’t be able to earn it back?!”

Lu Ze was about to speak when he heard footsteps beside the carriage. He quickly put the roll of banknotes into his sleeve and turned around to see Du Miao’er, whom he had seen once or twice before, walking out from behind the carriage with a bamboo basket.

“Mr. Gu, Madam Liu, I heard that you’ve finally returned from the plague area, so I specifically brought you some persimmons.” Du Miao’er bowed and smiled politely at Lin Suisui and Lu Ze before handing over the basket in her hand.

Just as she had said, there was indeed half a basket of persimmons in this basket. During this period of time, they had many opportunities to go up the mountain. Because of the soldiers accompanying them, they had the courage to enter the depths of the forest.

There were not only wild persimmons, but also many wild dates, mountain peaches, and chestnuts.

However, there were not many pecans to begin with. In addition, her stepmother liked them, so in the end, the only thing she could use as a gift was this persimmon cake that looked good but was actually a little bitter.

“Thank you, Miss Miao’er, but we can’t accept this persimmon cake.” Lin Suisui returned a polite smile, but she didn’t reach out to take the bamboo basket Du Miao’er handed over.

“It’s not easy for anyone now. It’s definitely not easy for your family to obtain this basket of persimmons. We appreciate your kindness, but we really can’t accept this! Please take it back!”

Lin Suisui’s rejection was quite straightforward. Not only did she take Du Miao’er’s pride into consideration, but she also gave a reasonable excuse to reject her goodwill. If Du Miao’er had any common sense, she would have left.

However, Du Miao’er clearly had no intention of returning home just like that.

She had probably already expected Lin Suisui to reject her, so she didn’t think too much about it and directly rejected Lin Suisui. “Madam Liu, you saved my life previously. Before I could thank you, the plague happened. It wasn’t easy for me to wait for you to come back. This is just a mountain fruit that my sister and I went up the mountain to pick. We can only express our gratitude this way. If you don’t accept it, I really don’t know what to do.”

Du Miao’er clearly wanted to use Lin Suisui’s treatment as an excuse.

However, she couldn’t find an excuse to refute her!

“Miss Miao’er, you really don’t have to do this. I’ve told you before that treating illnesses and saving people is just what I should do as a doctor!

When I treated you back then, Mrs. Luo paid the consultation fee. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank Mrs. Luo.”

Lin Suisui’s tone became gentler. She naturally saw that from the moment Du Miao’er came over, she had been glancing at Lu Ze. It was obvious what she was thinking!

She didn’t want to interfere in Lu Ze’s private matters, but she was still Lu Ze’s wife in front of everyone now. Du Miao’er was flirting with her husband in front of her…

Who could tolerate this?!

“Perhaps, Miss Miao’er actually wants to thank my husband more?!”

Lin Suisui didn’t want to indulge her, so she stopped smiling. She crossed her arms and looked at Du Miao’er unhappily.

“You don’t have to be in a hurry to deny it. I know that you wanted to get close to my husband a few times, but in the end, you didn’t get the chance to develop things further!

Therefore, you targeted Mrs. Luo, who was more soft-hearted and easy to talk to.

You asked your sister to secretly pour out the herbs that Mrs. Luo had brewed for you to ward off the cold a few times, causing your fever to not subside. You then wanted to collude with your stepmother and hire someone to pretend to be a doctor to blackmail Mrs. Luo and her family!

I couldn’t stand it, so I went over to take your pulse and treat you!

If I wasn’t worried that you would continue to pretend to be sick and cause trouble for Mrs. Luo, do you think I would help you for no reason?!

Besides, I think what I said to your sister the other day was clear enough!

As long as you still have some dignity, you shouldn’t continue to carry out your evil plans!”

Du Miao’er was completely dumbfounded. When she came over, she had thought of countless possibilities, but she didn’t expect Lin Suisui to expose everything!

No matter how thick-skinned she was, she could not stay any longer. She gritted her teeth, turned around, covered her eyes, and ran away.

“I’m tired. I’m going to bed now.” After sending Du Miao’er away, Lin Suisui was still a little angry. Actually, she didn’t understand where this dissatisfaction came from. Even if Du Miao’er liked Lu Ze…

They shouldn’t have told others that they were husband and wife back then. Explaining that they were siblings would save them a lot of trouble!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Lin Suisui stood up to return to the ox cart. Unexpectedly, before she could stand up completely, Lu Ze, who was beside her, reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back to her previous seat.

“You haven’t eaten yet. You’ll be hungry again in the middle of the night and won’t be able to sleep.” As Lu Ze spoke, he handed over a roasted rabbit leg. It smelled delicious and immediately aroused Lin Suisui’s desire.

She subconsciously swallowed, but she was still thinking about how she had wanted to return to the carriage previously. If she immediately changed her mind and started to eat the rabbit leg…

Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?!

“Eat. You’ll only have the strength to be angry after eating!” Lu Ze handed the rabbit leg to Lin Suisui again. His tone became gentler and more coaxing.

Lin Suisui couldn’t help but laugh. Then, she turned around and glared at Lu Ze angrily. As she snatched the rabbit leg, she didn’t forget to complain angrily, “It’s all your fault!

“Even in such a situation, you still can’t suppress your ability to attract women!”
