My Loyal and Lovely Husband

“OK…OK…I will do…I repay your money right now!” Saying that, Jiang Qingshou takes some money and hands it to Shen Cuihua. She takes over his silver and holds it tightly in her hands. Counting that money, Shen Cuihua spits on the ground and says, “What do you mean? You want to solve this problem by such a small amount of money? Am I a beggar? Except for that 5 taels of silver, you have to give me 100 taels of silver for compensation. If not, I’d make a big stink. Thus, you will never open your meat-shop in this county.”

“100 taels of silver? Why not to rob the bank!” Thinks Jiang Qingshou. 100 taels of silver is a large sum of money at that time which can finance Jin Weiwei to rent her shop for five years. Of course, Jiang Qingshou refuses. He stares at Shen Cuihua, and begs her, “My sister, I am begging you to forgive me. It’s impossible for me to take out 100 taels of silver. How about 50 taels of silver?” She spits at him, looks around the shop, and says, “I should have to know that running such a unprofitable shop, it is impossible for you to have so much money. 50 taels of silver is OK. But if there are still some rumors, I will never forgive you and you have to pay me the other 50 taels of silver.”

Jiang Qingshou is satisfied with that result. Since the money has already decreased from 100 taels of silver to 50 taels of silver, he never intends to bargain. He takes money from his shop, and hands that 50 taels of silver and another 5 taels of silver to Shen Cuihua. Holding the money, Shen Cuihua feels quite satisfied with that result. She turns around and leaves the shop. Seeing that, those onlookers leave right away.

At that time, Jiang’s meat-shop is quiet. Jiang Qingshou has lost everything. He closes himself in the meat-shop, leaving Jin Xiaodie alone outdoors. Sitting on the ground, Jin Xiaodie is totally lost. After a while, she gets up and hammers the door of Jiang’s meat-shop. However, Jiang Qingshou has already been determined never to open the door for her. Jin Xiaodie gives up and stops crying and cursing. It’s getting dark outside. Jin Xiaodie, getting up and picking the divorce agreement up, decides to find a shelter in her elder sister’s home.

Although she is extremely unwilling to find her elder sister Jin Xiaoyan, she has no choice. Where should she go? If she really gets divorced, she should return to her home in Xingtian Village. However, Jin Weiwei and Little Rich are living there. Living there is a great torture for her. Thus, Jin Xiaodie has to resort to her elder sister Jin Xiaoyan for help. Jin Xiaoyan’s home is not far away from there; however, Jin Xiaodie has no money. She has to walk there. When she arrives at Jin Xiaodie’s home, it has already been dark outside. Jin Xiaoyan’s husband is just an accountant in a wealthy family. Thus, she does not have so much money compared with Jin Xiaoyan, who runs a meat-shop with her husband. Thus, in the past, Jin Xiaoyan always mocked her elder sister for marrying a poor husband.

Out of her expectation, Jin Xiaodie never thinks that she will find a shelter from her elder sister someday. Recalling what she said in the past, Jin Xiaodie feels embarrassed. However, it is getting dark outside, she has no choice but to knock the door. “Bang! Bang! Bang!” With the sound of knocking the door, Jin Xiaoyan asks, “Who’s knocking?” Jin Xiaoyan opens the door and sees Jin Xiaodie standing at the door. She frowns and thinks that Jin Xiaodie will never come to her home unless something happened. Thus, she asks defensively, “My sister, why you come here?” At this time, Jin Xiaodie is regretful about what she said to her elder sister in the past.

The appearance of Jin Xiaodie has revealed everything. Her dress is made of excellent silk, which is sent to her by her husband Jiang Qingshou as a birthday gift. This dress is her favorite. She cherishes it very much. For several times, she wore this dress before Jin Xiaoyan, but never let her elder sister touch it. Now…How this beautiful dress… Jin Xiaoyan asks, “How is your dress torn into pieces like that?” Seeing the dress of Jin Xiaodie, she frowns. The dress reminds her of the once sweet memories of her marriage, which makes her feel sad. She lowers her head with tears in her eyes.

Seeing that, Jin Xiaoyan thinks that no matter what she has done to her, Jin Xiaodie is her younger sister, her relative. Now, apparently, she is faced with difficulties. Jin Xiaoyan sighs and lets her younger sister in. “Xiaodie, come in.” Says Jin Xiaoyan. It is time for supper. Jin Xiaoyan asks whether she is hungry or not. Seeing Jin Xiaoyan standing at the door touching her belly silently, she knows that she eats nothing before arriving there. Then, she her to the dining room for dinner.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Immediately, Jin Xiaoyan does some cooking for Jin Xiaodie, and says gently, “Have a meal.” Jin Xiaodie picks up the chopsticks and starts to eat. Only in difficulties does she know who really cares about her. Now her eyes have been blurred by tears. However, fearing about being noticed by her sister, she sweeps her tears secretly. “Tell me, what’s up with you, my sister.” Asks Jin Xiaoyan, sewing clothes. No one knows Jin Xiaodie better than her own elder sister. Generally, she is so proud and arrogant that she never allows herself to be trapped into such a discomfiture.

Hearing that, Jin Xiaodie stops sipping the soup suddenly. After a while, she peaces her emotions and raises her head. Squeezing a smile, she says, “Nothing happened…Just quarrel with Jiang Qingshou. I got mad and went out for a change.” “Is that all?” asks Jin Xiaoyan with her eyes looking at her shabby dress. At that moment, a sound of footsteps comes to her ear. Immediately, judging from the sound, Jin Xiaoyan guesses that must be her husband, the bread earner of the family. With a natural smile, she says, “Is that you?”

Walking into the room, Zheng Tong looks at his wife and smiles. “Emm…Today, nothing serious in my office, so I come back a little bit earlier.” Replies Zheng Tong. After the greeting, he takes a glimpse at Jin Xiaodie, an unhappy expression flashing across his face. Having lived together with her husband so many years, Jin Xiaoyan senses that and explains immediately, “Xiaodie quarreled with her husband. She is still furious about that. Thus, she will live with us for several days till they all calm down a little bit.”

Hearing that, Zheng Tong says nothing, but sits down and has the supper. Seeing that Zheng Tong utters nothing, Jin Xiaodie feels upset down for fear that he would drive her away. If so, she has no place to live in. That thought makes her worried for a long time, and she eats supper, feeling like a fish-bone getting stuck in the throat. Suddenly, Zhengtong puts down the bowl and chopsticks and says, “Since you two have quarreled with each other, you will lose your face if you come back immediately. You stay here until your husband comes and picks you home.”

Although she knows that her elder sister’s husband is good-natured, she never thought that he would help her. After all, they are not in good relationship. Thinking that, she almost sheds tears about that. After the supper, the two sisters have a good conversation, which is rare. Then, Jin Xiaoyan finds that Jin Xiaodie is not in good mood, so she suggests, “It’s very late tonight. I am a little bit tired. You have a rest.”
