Chapter 122 Reborn Scheming Woman from a New Era × Husband in an Arranged MarriageEducated YouthComr

Shi Kang looked on expectantly, wanting to complain, wanting to tattle, wanting his venomous sister-in-law to quickly give the two little brats some loving education.

Du Xiang understood, and seeing his fawning manner, she fearfully hid behind Shi An.

Shi Kang's smile froze; he knew he was finished again.

Sure enough, his older brother's face was frighteningly cold.

Shi An glanced at Shi Kang, then led Du Xiang back into the house.

Before going to bed that night, Shi An gave Du Xiang a lot of instructions, and then got up and went to Shi Kang's room.

When he returned, Du Xiang was lying in bed flipping through a book.

Ultimately, we have to learn it all from scratch, and the workload is still enormous.

Seeing Shi An enter the room, Du Xiang looked up and smiled at him before focusing on reading again.

After a while, Du Xiang felt the person next to her lie down, and casually picked up a book and flipped through it, but did not make a sound to disturb her.

He started chatting casually with Shi An.

“I didn’t go to school when I was a child because my family wouldn’t let me. Later, I saw the neighbor’s kids come back, so I secretly followed them and learned a few words.”

Speaking of which, the school in their village was closed down two years ago, and it's unclear whether it will ever be able to reopen.

Shi An is literate; he did attend school, and he also took some related courses during his time in the military.

Listening to Du Xiang's words and thinking about the hard times she had at home, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

It was so close. If they hadn't had any feelings for each other, and she had just been forced into this marriage, she would have simply moved to another place and continued to live a hard life in the Shi family.

There are no "what ifs". Du Xiang is wonderful; she would be loved by anyone she married.

Fortunately, she married him.

Du Xiang had no idea what Shi An was thinking and kept muttering to herself.

"This book is really good."

She hadn't quite figured out the good thing yet, but having been reborn, she knew how important knowledge was.

The college entrance examination will be reinstated next year, but there is a problem: she does not have a student registration.

She'll have to rely on Shi An to help her with this matter later; it's too early to worry about it now.

After a while, Shi An silently took the book from her hands. "Go to sleep. If you like reading, you can read it during the day. It will hurt your eyes."

They lit the small kerosene lamp, but the light was too dim.

He turned off the light and reached out to cover her with the blanket.

Although Du Xiang was a little dissatisfied, she knew he was right, so she lay down and ignored him.

Once you get to know her better, you'll find that she can be a little temperamental at times.

Helpless, Shi An reached out and kissed her forehead, but then paused when he noticed she seemed a little scared and shrank back.

"Don't be angry, I'm leaving tomorrow."

It was rare for him to feign pitifulness, and his deep voice seemed somewhat out of place with his aggrieved tone.

Du Xiang found it amusing, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shi An could tell that she was openly mocking him.

Perhaps he was about to leave, and it would be at least a year or two before they met again. He felt a pang of sadness and, unusually, said:

"Do you like hearing me talk like this?"

Du Xiang was speechless. She gently pinched him, but he grabbed her hand.

She didn't respond. Shi An chuckled and leaned closer to her, gently pressing his forehead against hers.

"Go to sleep."

Du Xiang always slept well, but Shi An was unusually sleepless. The night was long, but no matter how long it was, dawn would eventually break.

The next day, when Shi An left, Du Xiang saw him off at the crossroads. It was only when the time of parting truly arrived that she felt a little nervous.

"You...you must be careful."

Seeing the helplessness on her face, Shi An couldn't bear to say anything to comfort her.

"Okay, all right, wait for me to come back."

Du Xiang nodded, reluctantly letting go of his hand.

Shi An had always come back and left alone before, and had never so clearly felt what it meant to say goodbye.

This place used to be his roots, his homeland, a large family that had long since erased all his emotions, leaving only instinctive responsibility.

His wife is here now.

When he leaves, she sees him off; when he returns, she might even greet him with joy.

She will miss him and worry about him, and he will work hard to support her.

They have a long life ahead of them, and they will hold each other's hands until the end.

My eyes welled up with tears as I turned around.

After Du Xiang saw him off and went home, she saw Shi Kang working respectfully.

She thought that Shi Kang would become a little arrogant after Shi An left. She didn't know what Shi An had done, but as long as Shi Kang was obedient, that was fine.

But Shi Kang is an adult; he can assess situations carefully, unlike Shi Dabao and Shi Xiaobao.

Du Xiang knew that Shi Kang was pretending to be well-behaved on the surface, but in reality, he was eager to see her suffer at the hands of Shi Dabao and Shi Xiaobao.

It's okay, she'll make all three of them face reality.

"Work hard, and those who are supposed to stay away should do so."

She didn't stand on ceremony and directly gave orders to Shi Kang.

Shi Kang was furious. "I'm older than you, so watch your tone."

Du Xiang sneered, "I hold grudges very much, so think carefully before you speak."

She was indeed less patient with useless people. Shi Kang ate and used the family's food, so it was his duty to do the work, not to mention that the sucker Shi An even paid him a separate salary.

After staring at Shi Kang for a long time, watching his momentum gradually weaken, Du Xiang turned around and went back into the house.

Her time is precious right now; she has so many books to read from scratch, and she doesn't have the energy to deal with these complicated issues. She'll use a hard approach whenever possible and never waste time on a soft one.

Shi Dabao and Shi Xiaobao really messed things up again; with Shi An not around, they think they're all that great now.

When kids get naughty, what chance do adults have?

For several days in a row, centipedes and earthworms inexplicably appeared in the house, until a snake appeared.

Du Xiang smiled.

She's an adult and could tell the snake was non-venomous, but what about the two children?

It doesn't matter.

"Da Bao and Xiao Bao, come here, I have something good for you."

Du Xiang smiled gently at the wicked child in the yard who was secretly peeking into her room.

Shi Dabao and Shi Xiaobao looked fierce. They thought she was scared. Without her older brother's support, this good-for-nothing was probably afraid they would tell their parents and wanted to beg them for help.

But it was too late; the snake was already in her house, waiting for her to be bitten to death.

They won't go.

Du Xiang sighed, somewhat disappointed, seemingly because they refused to accept her as their good sister-in-law.

This made the twins even more afraid of her, and she became incredibly arrogant.

While working diligently, Shi Kang kept a close eye on things. He had a bit of anticipation; none of his two younger brothers and Du Xiang were good people, and their fighting was none of his business.

Even if something happens, Shi An won't hold him accountable when he comes back.

Right?

The more I thought about it, the more uncertain I became, but those three people remained completely silent all day.

Du Xiang didn't leave the house by the afternoon, and the twins were unsure if she was dead.

Shi Xiaobao encouraged Shi Dabao to go see it.

Then Shi Dabao went there and didn't come out for a long time.

Just as he was getting impatient and was about to ask his second brother to go check on him, Shi Dabao came out, his face streaked with tears, his mind in a daze, and his whole appearance disheveled.

No matter how you ask, he won't say a word; he just keeps trembling like an idiot.

Shi Xiaobao is the worst one.

He thought the fool Shi Dabao was terrified after seeing Du Xiang dead, so he decided to go inside to verify and see where the snake was before getting it out of there.

I cautiously entered the room, and the next second I was pinned to the ground and my hands and feet were tied up.
