Chen Xiang widened her eyes in surprise. “Even if you get the money, will your conscience be okay? Can you sleep peacefully in the middle of the night? Aren’t you afraid that someone will knock on the door in the middle of the night?”

Faced with Chen Xiang’s question, He Dahai’s face turned green and then red before finally turning into a trace of anger. He thought that Chen Xiang would support him, but he did not expect her to have such a huge reaction. She did not even want the hundred taels of silver that was readily available.

He Dahai’s face was a little pale as he said, “As long as there’s money, I can sleep peacefully. Don’t you want to live a better life? As long as we have this money, we won’t have to worry about others looking down on us when we go out!”

He had lived a poor life enough. As long as you were poor, everyone would look down on you. Some people would not even look at you.

He did not want to live such a life anymore. Moreover, he really could not understand why Chen Xiang was so disgusted by it. Was it not easy to spend the money he had picked up for nothing?

Chen Xiang snorted coldly. “I don’t need such money. I can earn everything I want by myself. Moreover, Su Li has given me a salary now. As long as we work, our lives won’t be too bad.”

The salary for a day was 80 copper coins. Coupled with planting chili, their lives would be much better in the future. Why should they earn this money that went against their conscience?

He Dahai said sarcastically, “You also said that you have work to do, but what about when you don’t have work to do? Just like this time, when she left, didn’t you guys still dig and farm obediently? You care about her, but does she care about you?”

Working for Su Li was not a stable thing. If Su Li quit just like that, they would not even dare to say a word. How could they rely on that salary to support their family? It was impossible in their lives!

Chen Xiang could not help but retort, “Didn’t we dig and farm the same way in the past? We didn’t starve to death. We were still alive and well.”

He Dahai said, “How can it be the same? Look at the three of us. Do we have two taels of meat on us? All of us are so hungry that we’re as thin as sticks. Let’s not talk about us adults. Look at how the child have grown. Don’t you feel sorry for him?”

Seeing that she could not get through to He Dahai, Chen Xiang sat in front of the door with the stool.

“I’m telling you, you won’t be able to leave this house without my permission today!”

He Dahai looked at Chen Xiang with a dark expression and said, “What do you mean? Are you really going to make things difficult just for the sake of an outsider?”

Chen Xiang said earnestly, “I’m doing this for your own good. In the past, no matter how poor my family was or how difficult it was, I’ve never felt bitter. I only wanted to support this family. I felt that the happiest thing is for our family to be together.”Thɪs chapter is updated by Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

“I can’t let you do those things that go against your conscience. Let’s be upright. No matter where we stand in the future, we can stand straight.”

He Dahai’s face was ashen. He clenched his fists. “I’ll ask you again. Are you going to give in or not?”

Chen Xiang glanced at him. “I told you, I can’t!”

He Dahai said, “Don’t think that just because I dote on you, you can take advantage of me. I remember that you used to say that I was the master of everything, but look at you now. Do you still think I’m your man?”

“Or maybe you’ve always been like this. You were pretending to be like that in the past. You just despise me for being useless!”

It seemed that the past few years had been too comfortable. Chen Xiang did not even know which direction was north, south, east, and west. She had even forgotten who was the master of this family.

Or perhaps she had always despised himself for being a cripple, but she did not show it on her face. In fact, she had long been dissatisfied in her heart. Today, she used this matter to vent.

Seeing that He Dahai had misunderstood, Chen Xiang hurriedly explained, “I’ve never despised you. In my heart, you’re no different from ordinary people.” If she really despised him, she would not have chosen to marry him back then!

He Dahai said, “Then get out of my way.”

Chen Xiang shook her head. “I said I can’t give in.”

“You…” He Dahai raised his hand.

Seeing that he was about to hit her, Chen Xiang’s eyes suddenly felt a little sore. She bit her lower lip, afraid that the tears in her eyes would fall if she did not pay attention.

Chen Xiang leaned over and choked. “You hit me, you hit me. Even if you beat me to death, I won’t move away.”

He Dahai was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, alright, alright.

You’re very good!”

With that, he turned around and entered the house.

Chen Xiang heaved a sigh of relief.

Who wouldn’t want a free hundred taels of silver?

However, when she recalled how well Su Li treated her, she couldn’t sell her and get the money to spend.

If Su Li’s family was beheaded because of this, this hundred taels of silver would be a life-threatening thing. She could not afford it and did not dare to take it!

Chen Xiang kept telling herself that murderers and fugitives had nothing to do with them. They had not seen anything.

Chen Xiang put away the stool and planned to go next door to tell Su Li about the official’s arrival. She wanted him to quickly deal with that person, lest he was really caught.

As soon as she turned around, a handkerchief covered her mouth and nose. Her body was a little weak and she could not exert any strength. Then, a rope wrapped around her.

Speaking of which, he still had to thank Su Li. Last time, she had given Chen Xiang something to protect herself, which included this knockout pill. At that time, He Dahai had been listening from the side, so he remembered it. Now, it was useful.

Chen Xiang wanted to scream, but He Dahai did not give her a chance. He stuffed a rag into her mouth and tied her up.

Chen Xiang stared at He Dahai with bloodshot eyes, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He Dahai did not dare to look into Chen Xiang’s eyes. There was endless yearning in his eyes. “Stay at home obediently. When I receive the hundred taels of silver, I’ll come back and untie you. A good day is waiting for us!”

“Ahhh…” Chen Xiang wanted to say something, but she could not make any other sound.

To prevent others from discovering Chen Xiang, He Dahai dragged her into the room.

He Dahai touched Chen Xiang’s face and said, “With money, we can live a good life. Let’s see who dares to look down on us.

Chen Xiang shook her head vigorously. She didn’t want so much money.

He Dahai did not care about Chen Xiang’s reaction and left quickly. Before he left, he specially locked the courtyard door.

Her mouth was gagged now, and almost no one came to her house usually. Her son had also gone out to play, so the possibility of her being discovered was relatively low.

Chen Xiang had no choice but to cry silently.

When He Dahai passed by He Yufeng’s house, he specially took a look.

He Yufeng happened to come out of the house. When he saw He Dahai, he smiled and greeted him.. “Brother Dahai, where are you going?”
