Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

”Stop crying, crying too much is bad for your health, I wasn’t right about the things in the past...”

Su Yunjin was stunned, staring blankly at Chen Jie. She never dreamed that Chen Jiusi would say such things to her.

For a moment, she actually stopped crying.

It was too shocking.

Could this beast actually admit he was wrong?

In Su Yunjin’s eyes, the original Chen was a scoundrel, a drunkard, a gambler, and a domestic abuser. Outside, he was a coward, a man obsessed with appearances, tough only at home.

At a time when they barely had enough to eat at home, he was flattered by a few words and lent their only bag of grain to the lazy neighbor, Ma Liu.

And he was a coward. She once had a dispute with their neighbor, Lu Qinsi. When Lu came to their home to scold and hit her, he stayed inside, not daring to say a word in her defense.

After being slapped twice by that shrew, he even blamed her for bringing trouble to him.

Her own husband let others chase her home and hit her, and he didn’t even dare stand up for her, could she rely on such a man?

But if she couldn’t rely on him, who else was there? Divorce hadn’t been heard of in this world, or even separation. For a village woman like her, the only outcome was a letter of divorce.

But she had no family left. Where would she go after being divorced? Would she really learn to become a half-prostitute?

Moreover, she had a younger sister. There was no choice, truly no choice!

She could only blame her fate for marrying a beast in human form, a cowardly bastard who only acted tough at home.

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin’s confused face and slowly squatted down, earnestly looking at her. It was only then he realized just how beautiful this woman was, especially after crying, like a tear-streaked pear blossom, making one feel sorry for her.

Chen Jie noticed the woman’s reaction and knew his words had taken effect.

The previous Chen had done many beastly things, so he said ”sorry” on his behalf.

At the very least, it could bring a bit of comfort to this poor woman in front of him.

Seeing the woman’s noticeably softened expression, Chen Jie decided to say a few more words to stabilize her emotions.

Reaching out his hand, the woman instinctively flinched, but Chen Jie still held her face and wiped her tears with his thumb. The woman was very surprised, even trembling slightly.

”Yunjin,”

Chen Jie spoke. He initially wanted to call her Jin’er, but thought it would be better to proceed gradually so as not to scare her, given her current emotional instability. He absolutely couldn’t provoke her anymore.

Su Yunjin looked at Chen Jie in surprise because Chen Jie usually called her ”that Su” or, even more disgustingly, ”bitch.”

But he had never called her by name before. She looked at Chen Jie, not knowing what he would do next.

Chen Jie looked at her and said, ”I know I let you down in the past.”

”You suffered a lot being with me. I never expected you would be pushed to this extent. It’s all my fault.”

Su Yunjin’s body trembled at these words, her eyes full of disbelief. She thought she had misheard earlier, but now he was actually apologizing to her again. Was he really trying to turn over a new leaf?

Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment but quickly shook her head. *A leopard can’t change its spots. What deceit is he plotting now? Is he afraid that Yun Rui and I would commit suicide, and he wouldn’t be able to sell us for money?*

Chen Jie noticed the wariness and worry in her eyes.

Then he held her hand, a hand that should have been soft and delicate, but instead felt rough and even slightly cracked.

This was caused by long hours of farm work and washing clothes.

And such a pair of hands shouldn’t belong to such a beautiful woman.

When her hand was held, Su Yunjin was slightly panicked and tried to pull it back, but Chen Jie said, ”Don’t move, listen to me. I truly realize my mistakes, it’s not to deceive you.”

”I also know that no matter how much I say now, you won’t believe me, but I still hope you can give me a chance. I have really changed.”

Chen Jie knew words were shallow, but some attitudes had to be shown.

Su Yunjin was silent for a long while, her voice gradually turning cold as she said, ”You’re really not going to sell Ruirui?”

Chen Jie replied, ”I absolutely won’t sell her!”

Su Yunjin was silent at his words, and after a long time, she said, ”Chen Jiusi, Mother was kind to me, so no matter how you treat me, I can accept it. But Ruirui is still young, she absolutely cannot lose hope, do you understand?”

”Hmm,”

Chen Jie nodded.

Su Yunjin continued, ”If you promise something and don’t do it, and still want to sell Ruirui, then even without poison, we can die and ensure you won’t get one cent.”

Chen Jie said, ”Hmm, I understand, trust me.”

Hearing this, Su Yunjin slowly got up from the ground, then began to clean up the items scattered on the floor; little Daisy also started to help tidy up. Seeing this, Chen Jie quickly took the pot of poisonous white rice porridge outside and buried it.

After finishing, Chen Jie returned to the house. Both women ignored him, and Chen Jie knew that in their eyes, he probably seemed like a demon.

Gurgle...

In this awkward moment, little Daisy, Su Yunrui’s stomach growled loudly.

Su Yunrui looked at her own stomach, then tightened the rag around her waist, muttering, ”Ruirui is the best, Ruirui is not hungry.”

Gurgle...

Then came another stomach growl, this time from Su Yunjin, her face instantly turned red, but she said nothing.

Chen Jie knew the rice jar at home was nearly empty. If they didn’t find food soon, the whole family would probably starve. Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered information that said there was a rabbit that had run into a tree and died in the back mountain.

It looked like he needed to go up the mountain.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie got up and said to Su Yunjin, ”Stay at home, I’ll go out for a bit and be back soon.”

No one paid him any attention, but Chen Jie didn’t mind and turned to leave the ramshackle straw hut.

Watching Chen Jie walk out the door, Su Yunjin squatted down, looking at Su Yunrui, ”Is Ruirui hungry?”

”No, Ruirui is not hungry.”

Gurgle...

As she spoke, little Daisy’s stomach began to growl.

But little Daisy held her head high, as if to say, ”I’m not hungry.”

Su Yunjin smiled, patting little Daisy on the head, then sighed and said, ”Let’s go dig for wild vegetables later, shall we have wild vegetable soup for lunch?”

”Hmm, hmm, okay~”

At the mention of food, little Daisy’s eyes lit up. Having something to eat was good, but she regretted not getting to taste that pot of white porridge since it looked so tasty.

Su Yunjin patted little Daisy on the head again, then got up, went back inside, found a bamboo basket, took a shovel, and thought of also bringing scissors from the sewing box.

Leading little Daisy out the door, although Chen Jiusi said he had turned over a new leaf, who knew if he was deceiving her, making her lower her guard to sell Ruirui?

So now she must take Ruirui with her when going out and bring the scissors. If Chen Jiusi tried to deceive her, if she couldn’t kill him, she could at least kill herself, couldn’t she?
