My Loyal and Lovely Husband

Jiang Qingtao murmurs to his servant for a while who nods his head with agreement. Then, he raises his head and asks, “Boss, it that OK?” “For me, nothing is impossible!” Says Jiang Qingshou, backhanding with confidence. “She’s nothing but a bastard girl! It’s easy to deal with her! You do as I told you just now! When the thing is done, there will be one tael of silver as a reward for you.” Says Jiang Qingshou, despising that servant. One tael of silver?! That’s enough for him to enjoy a luxurious service in a prestigious restaurant. Thus, the servant shows a greedy look.

Since the boss Jiang Qingshou is so sure about his plan, there’s no need for him to hesitate. Without any hesitation, the servant receives the money from Jiang Qingshou, and goes into the clothing shop near the street. He shouts to the boss, “Come out. Serve me a good suit!” It has already afternoon, the sun setting. At that time, Tao Xiaoqing is cutting the meat. His hands are sore because of hard work. Big drops of sweat drip from his face with his grey coat soaked. Aware of his tiredness, Jin Weiwei grabs the knife and says, “Xiaoqing, you go outside to sell the sausages.” Seeing the crowd of people waiting for buying the sausages, Tao Xiaoqing shows signs of reluctance or embarrassment. He says, “Boss, if I sell the sausages, who…” He is interrupted by Jin Weiwei. She pushes him aside, and smiles, “I am taking in charge of cutting the meat. Don’t worry.”

Although Tao Xiaoqing feels tired, he has already been out of strength. Tao Xiqoing accepts that. “What are you doing? Stop crowding me!” Shouts a robust old lady staring back at a young man who squeezes in and strives to keep his body straight. Seeing the angry face of the old lady, he greets the old lady with his hands folded, “Auntie, my wife is weak because she gave birth to a baby recently. I heard that the meat in this shop is not expensive. I wonder whether you can allow me to buy first to nurture her body.” Knowing that this young man is buying the meat for his wife, the old lady is moved by his deed. After all, it is rare for a man in these days to care for his wife.

“You are a considerate young man. Alright, you, first. I am not busy.” Hearing that, others stand back. Jin Weiwei is also attracted by that. She stares at that young man wearing a blue gown. He comes to Jin Weiwei and stands steadily, pinching her clothes uneasy. Jin Weiwei wonders why he turns uneasy suddenly. Then the young man asks, “How much is mutton per jin?” Suddenly, Jin Weiwei realizes that the young is worried about the price of the mutton. Then she replies, “Half of one tael of silver for a kilogram!”

The face of the young man is brightened by Jin Weiwei’s words. He feels comfortable immediately, and says, “One kilogram please!” Then, Jin Weiwei offers the young one kilogram of mutton. “Here you are!” The young man receives the mutton and takes a tael of silver from his purse and gives it to Jin Weiwei. Out of his expectation, a clean hand with slim fingers only takes some of the money and pushes back the rest. Seeing this, Jin Weiwei smiles and says, “You badly need money now because your wife just gave birth to a baby. The rest of the money is for you to buy some nutrients for your wife.” Hearing that, the young man is frozen there with his eyesight drifting.

Little Rich raises his head and happens to watch that with his eyebrows raised. Seeing that, people standing here all thumb up to praise the kindness of Jin Weiwei. “Miss, you are really kind-hearted!” “Yes! I am also an old businessman, but I think I am no rival to that young lady!” “For your kindness, from now on, I will only buy meat from your meat shop!” “Young man, you’d better thank that young lady!” That old lady says. The young man with a blue gown bows to thank Jin Weiwei. She waves her hand, indicating that he’d better go back to take care of his wife quickly.

The young man in a blue gown squeezes out of the crowd with a smile of gratitude on his face. He rushes to the corner of the street. Far away from the crowd, the smile on his face disappears immediately. He spits spitefully and curses, “Bullshit! How can she pretend to be a kind person! The bitch only wants to use me to buy popularity.” Then, he takes the meat to Jiang Qingshou. Soon, his lordly manner turns to be obedient and respectful. He says, “My boss. I have already bought the meat with lots of people as witnesses.”

“Alright!” A fierce light appears on his face, because he is brewing a plot. One hour later, the meat has been almost sold out. Jin Wewei is about to persuade customers to buy the meat tomorrow. Suddenly, a sharp scream comes to the ear of everyone far away from the shop. “You greedy bitch! You shall pay the penalty for the death of my wife!” People around Jin’s Meat Shop are all attracted by that scream. They all turn and check what really happens there.

A scholar-like young man pushes a wheelbarrow on which lies a woman who wears a pink dress and closes her eyes tight. “What’s up?” People crowd together, puzzled. With the young man approaching, a fifty or sixty year-old man murmurs, “I am a little bit familiar with that young man.” The old lady thinks a little while and suddenly she realizes. “Is that the young man just now who bought some meat for his wife?!”

Hearing that, people look at that young man in a blue gown and his appearance. They quickly recognize him! “That’s him!” “That the young man who bought the mutton just now, but why did he come back?” Everyone feels confused about that. “He is so efficient!” Thinks Little Rich with a sneer on his face. Jin Weiwei is sure that the young man comes back with no good intention. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young man stops the wheelbarrow at the door of Jin’s Meat Shop. Welling up with tears, the young man points to Jin Weiwei, “I am Wang Su, a scholar in the town. I have nothing against you. How dare you to poison the mutton!”

“What? That young lady dares to poison the mutton!” Everyone bursts into an uproar. Everyone takes a couple of rapid steps backwards because of fear. The young man named himself Wang Su chocks, “Why you poison my wife? My wife is almost dying.” Almost dying? Everyone pays attention to that woman lying on the wheelbarrow.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The woman seems very sick with a pale face. People who have already paid for the meat check their meat carefully for fear that their meat is poisoned. Those who haven’t bought the meat yet feel lucky, while others who have already paid for the meat regret for that.
