Now Mo Qiang thought that she only made a mistake by helping this mer, he clearly had everything under control and might have as well been waiting to enjoy a show, did she interrupt his fun?
Mo Qiang wanted to ask Shao Hui about it but later on decided that she did not want to ask anything like that to this mer, what if he said that she indeed interrupted his enjoyment, what was she going to do then? Suggest that he have fun with her? Though she wanted those favourability points she did not want them at the cost of her life.
" Okay… shall we go back?" She asked but the mer did not say anything nor did he move from his place causing Mo Qiang to stay where she was not knowing what to do, she thought about leaving him alone but when she was reminded of the fact that a lady King Kong was waiting for her at their home, she changed her decision almost at once.
" You know that I hate you right?" Shao Hui spoke after a long time, he stared at her with those murky eyes of his which caused Mo Qiang to stiffen and widen her eyes in surprise while looking at him. The alarm bells in her head rang all over telling and screaming 'danger' while telling her to run and Mo Qiang was going to listen to the voice in her head but then the mer reached out and held her hand causing her body to turn harder than wood.
Oh, she was going to die, she was going to die, all right.
" So…if you don't want me to get stronger in future and kill you then you might as well kill me now," said the mer causing Mo Qiang to be even more surprised when she saw the hatred in the eyes of the mers. No, it was not right to say that it was hatred, it was absolute loathing.
" I…"
" You say that you have forgotten everything, right? It is funny." Shao Hui laughed interrupting her but there was no humour in his eyes, he simply looked at her with a smiling face and a pair of murderous eyes as he leaned in close and whispered in a viper-like cold voice, " You might have forgotten but I will never forget how you almost killed my father who is ill, I could have given him enough money to treat his condition and he would not have been abandoned by my mother in this rotten place at that rotten hospital with no possibility of recovering with the lack of resources. But because of you and your stubbornness, he was divorced and he was even sent here! I have no money and no resources to treat him, the only thing I can do is helplessly watch my father who gave birth to me die!"
As he said those last words, his voice rose and Shao Hui flung her hand away from his hand like touching her disgusted him. His eyes were brimming with tears as he sneered and coldly spat, " Not only did you break my dream but you also took away the only lifeline that my father had, I will never forget this and I will never allow you to forget this either when my father dies, I wish you will remember that you and my mother collectively murdered him!"
With that, he stood up from the ground and was prepared to leave when he heard Mo Qiang say from behind, " I will save him."
" What?" At first, Shao Hui thought that he had misheard Mo Qiang but when he turned and looked at Mo Qiang again he was surprised to see that the woman was looking at him seriously causing his heart to skitter a little which he suppressed at once wishing he could throw this stupid one out and get another one —— one that smart to be transplanted in his body.
" I will save your father and I will make your dream of becoming an idol come true as well," Mo Qiang repeated as she looked at the mer in front of her. She did not know how she was going to do it but seeing how desperate Shao Hui was, she could not just ignore him, he might not be the mer she loved but she still had the responsibility to take care of him as his nominal wife. " Just three weeks, just give me another three weeks."
In three weeks as long as she did not sleep or drink, she will be able to raise those trees and corn seeds. After that, she will see how it will go…though she was going to push her body to the extreme but for the sake of life and her favourability points along with her own life —— she was going to work hard.
She did not want to die while itching herself to death!
" Heh," Shao Hui mockingly sneered as he looked at his wife. " Very well then I will give you three weeks then … but if you fail, then you better sleep with an eye open, Mo Qiang."
After he was done speaking he turned on his feet and walked away leaving Mo Qiang alone in the alley as the latter rubbed the back of her head in frustration. " That guy did not even thank me!"
However, Mo Qiang had no wish to go after the mer and ask him to show his gratitude when he clearly felt nothing but hatred for her, the hate he had for the original owner was too big to let go so easily. And she did not even blame him——
" Just what kind of disease does that guy's father have?" She asked Little Jiao who was silent for a change.
" Hmm," the small thing summoned her encyclopaedia that had information about this world and the members of the Mo Qiang family before she stiffened and then very hesitatingly replied, " Shao Hui's father has a grade second poison injury, it seemed that he was once pushed in a toxic river by the second husband of his wife…it affected his womb as well as his physical features, not only he requires a complete facial surgery but also anti toxin removal from his body."
" And the price of all of this is?"
"300 million golden star coins."
Fck. Was it too late to take her words back?
Mo Qiang originally wanted to forget the promise that she had given to Shao Hui but it turned out that even if she wanted to forget it Shao Hui was not willing to forget it that easily, the next morning when Mo Qiang woke up she found a very attractive letter which was written on a tablet lying in front of her door.
It was not attractive because it was written with red blood-like colour but because there was a flashy image of a woman who looked exceptionally similar to her and was being roasted on fire while being rotated three hundred and sixty degrees.
Mo Qiang: ….?
She looked at the tablet which was lying casually on the threshold of her room and started to read it,
' Dear wife,' it read. ' I am sending this letter to remind you of the promise that you made to me yesterday. Though my father still has some time and I am bent on becoming an idol for some quick money, I am writing this letter to remind you that if you dared to lie to me, I will have to upgrade the punishment that I have for you in my mind, love Hui'er.'
" That brat is seriously unhinged in his head, isn't he?" Mo Qiang muttered as she looked at the flashy screen that was getting covered with blood again and again as Mo Qiang look like got burned to death.
She was thinking about forgetting the promise but here she was reminding her that if she failed, he will come after her life.
"Looks like you have no other choice but to fulfil the promise," said Little Jiao as she looked at the flashy screen with a curious expression before turning to look at Mo Qiang and asking, " What do you think? If I start giving out such letters to my subordinates what will they do?"
" Jump off the cliff what else?" Mo Qiang answered as she threw the tablet on the bed and then walked out of the room, looks like she had no other choice but to work harder than before.
" What? Are you going to jump off the cliff as well? There is no need to take things so hard we can discuss it, Mo Qiang!" Little Jiao screeched into Mo Qiang's ear who ignored him and then walked down to the living room where everyone was sitting on the floating dining table with matching chairs that hovered in the air with circular bottom and a deep crevice in the shape of an oval in the middle that glowed with a blue light.
Though that was not what caught her attention, it was the grilled whole chicken that was sitting in the middle while being charred to the point that it could not even be called chicken that caused her mouth to fall agape while looking at the poor thing and pray for its soul that died for such a horrible result.
" What is going on?" She asked thinking that this was some sort of new ritual that she did not know about was this chicken of this world supposed to be cooked like this? But no matter what it looked like it was burned right?
Wen Gui who was trying to hold the bite that he had taken in his mouth chewed the burned chicken for a few minutes in the end when he could not chew it, he simply drowned it in water that was sitting in front of him while shaking his head in exasperation, " You guys do it, I am giving up."
If he continued he will have six-pack abs on his jaw by the time this chicken was finished. He gulped the chicken that was giving him a hell of torture and then turned to look at his daughter before saying, " Its actually Hui Hui, who cooked this despite his evident lack of skills——"
" Ahem," Mo Yan stepped in and stopped her husband who glared at her and moved his mouth rather rapidly like he was throwing a silent diatribe at her before turning to look at his daughter and said with a smile, " But who cares about the charred, still raw on the inside yet somehow burned meat on the outside as long as it was cooked with love." He then cut a piece of the blackened coal-like thing and then asked his daughter, " Do you want to taste the love of your husband?"
As soon as he spoke, Shao Hui turned to look at Mo Qiang who was confused about whether this burned chicken was there on the table as a warning for her or was it because Shao Hui who was bad at cooking.
However, after a short while she decided that she was not going to bother with it and then said, " No thanks, I have gotten so much love from him that I am afraid I will explode." By the stuffing that he will fill inside in case she did not fulfil her promise.
With that Mo Qiang not even bothered having breakfast and then left the house behind her Mo Xifeng banged her fist on her thighs as she finished half of the chicken with tears in her eyes that were hidden. In fact this time she didnt even do this for her brother in law but the thing was that this chicken was hard to come by and her third brother-in-law brought it with his own savings since he was going to visit his father in the hospital this afternoon and prepared one for his own father along with their family.
If not for the fact that it cost them an arm and leg, she would have not swallowed this thing down.
Mo Xifeng worked her mouth furiously before drowning her fifth glass of water and then breathed heavily as if she just finished battling a monster but she still looked at Shao Hui while trying to suppress her gag reflex and said, " It …is really…good… cough…awh"
" Stop before your soul escapes from your mouth and don't vomit on my dining table I brought the table cloth for fifty gold coins," said Wen Gui with a disgusted look before turning to look at Shao Hui who was playing with his breakfast. " Please tell me that you have not cooked this thing for your father?"
" I… did?" Shao Hui answered with a raise of his head causing Wen Gui to smile as he turned to look at his wife and said, " Dear will you please order a customised coffin? customized ----death by an abomination written on it please lest someone says that my daughter killed their father.."
