Chapter 20: Pipe Dream, Words from a Dog Mouth

In the afternoon, Mo Qianxue stayed in the room in deliberation of how to make quick money when there were waves of knocking at the door.

Opening the door, and it was Li Kaishi. Mo Qianxue hurriedly tried to close the door, but Li Kaishi’s hand was quicker to block between the doors and his body tried to squeeze in, meanwhile the other hand reached out to touch Mo Qianxue’s hand holding the door.

In fluster, Mo Qianxue hurriedly held back her hand and took a step back, which gave Li Kaishi an opportunity to slide into the yard.

Entering the yard, Li Kaishi put on a complacent grin. His face didn’t recover yet. As he laughed, the long scab around the scar trembles, making his smile filthy and disgusting.

Li Kaishi closed the door behind him. His legs didn’t recover completely either, but his moves weren’t slow. He stumbled his way through the yard and sat right on the chair in the living room, in an odious gesture as if he was the master, “Mrs. Ning, I heard the sick one is dying?”

“You’re dying! Your whole family is dying…” Mo Qianxue was irritated by his words, cursing while biting her teeth.

Li Kaishi didn’t at all care about her anger and continued his vile speech, “My dad said, as soon as the sick man is dead, you’ll be sold out as a slave. If you beg me, maybe I can show some mercy to you and take you as my concubine. Otherwise, a little beauty like you will live a miserable life. Very likely you’ll be sold to a…”

Mo Qianxue knew a dog couldn’t spit out good words. It must be a bad place, so she spat right at him, “You’ll be sold, your whole family will be sold…”

Mo Qianxue glared at him, but Li Kaishi found her round eyes lovelier.

“To be honest, with your appearance, being a concubine is a pity. But my mom said, you have been married, so I can’t let you be my wife. But, don’t worry, even if as one of my concubines, I’ll be nice to you.”

Li Kaishi stood up and stumbled to Mo Qianxue, holding out his hand to touch her face.

Mo Qianxue stepped back far and shouted at him, “Stop it! How dare you! This is Ning’s yard, not Li’s! It’s not a place for you to act silly! Get out!”

She had heard that though Li Kaishi was an asshole, elder Li, his father, was a person who valued his face. In order to maintain his father’s status in the village, he didn’t dare to do rash things.

“Don’t be upset, Mrs. Ning. Today, it’s still Ning’s, but maybe tomorrow it’s Li’s. Think about it. If you offend your husband-to-be, you’ll suffer a lot in the future…”

“Filthy thing, shut up your stinky mouth! Even if your whole family died and changed your family name, this courtyard still belongs to Ning.”

Mo Qianxue’s loud cursing didn’t irritate Li Kaishi but instead intrigued him. A hot aggressive woman. If on bed would she…?

“Actually, don’t be afraid of me. I’ll be nice to a beauty like you…”

The indecency in his words almost made Mo Qianxue throw up.

Her face was blue. Retreating to the door and grabbing a broom, she waved right at Li Kaishi and began to beat him up.

He was immersed in the daydream about her, not noticing her action, and hit by the groom several times. Instantly, there were more red marks on his face around the former scar. The pain made him scream terribly like a pig before being killed. He sprang up trying to escape.

Li Kaishi jumped up to dodge her, but when he looked up, what greeted his eyes was Mo Qianxue’s flushing face, which momentarily enchanted him, summoning up a wave of warmth in his heart as well as down there.

The physical change filled his eyes with unrestricted luster. Anyway, the sick man would be dead. Why not take the beauty right now?

The luster gave him courage!

He didn’t try to escape any longer but stepped forward and reached out to seize the broom aiming at his head.

In the end, he was a man. Even if as a filthy person with lame legs, he was still a young man around twenty years old, much more powerful than a fifteen-year-old girl. The broom was at once taken over by him.

A sneer…

Mo Qianxue’s house was at the west-back of the village and the last one in the west. Though her neighbor was Fang Datang, but their house was dozens of meters away.

The house formerly belonged to an alone old man who didn’t get along with his sons and grandsons. After the old man had died, his offspring deserted the house for its remote location. Hence, it was then given to Ning Shaoqing.

The village in the afternoon was tranquil, but the Ning house was thrown into a chaos.

“My little beauty, just say yes, I’ll be nice to you later.” Li Kaishi daydreamed with his obscene laugh. This girl knew how to make delicious food. If she became his concubine, soon she could earn for him loads of silver and gold. By then, he would definitely find a good wife.

“If you stay here, I’m calling out for people.”

Hearing her words, Li Kaishi threw away the broom. He didn’t draw back but instead stepped forward with his typical smile, cornering her, “Go ahead. At this moment, even if you scream your throat out, there won’t be anyone who hear you. Probably, you can wake up the sick man on the bed to take a final look at you…”

Listening to his outrageous words, Mo Qianxue could no longer hold back her fury and rushed over no matter what.

There was sounds of table and chairs knocking on the ground, man gasping and woman cursing.

After a while of splash and squelch, Li Kaishi now looked worse, with more red traces on his face. Meanwhile, Mo Qianxue was cornered to the wall.

“Where can you hide now?” There was no way for Mo Qianxue to escape and the wolf claw was just about to touch Mo Qianxue’s clothes.

Then, with a bang, the door of the courtyard was pushed open, and in flashed a figure.
