A Life Worse Than Death

At this moment, the two of them felt that their plan would definitely work. So when they assumed the roles of Jiang Danhe and Qin Xiaoguo, neither of them were willing to take on the extra baggage, which was Zhuang Zhuang. So they worked out a vicious plan to get rid of him.

“Aiya, when this is done, we can just find a pit and bury the kid.”

When Chou Louzi heard Li Zhaodi’s concern, he waved his hand in frustration and replied heartlessly.

Li Zhaodi immediately nodded in agreement. The viciousness in her eyes was surging. Zhuang Zhuang’s existence was evidence of Qin Xiaoguo’s fertility. To her, that was like a fishbone stuck in her throat. She couldn’t let him live. It would be better if she could deal with him as soon as possible.

“Alright, alright.” Chou Louzi didn’t want to discuss further about the things that were about to come true. It was better to do something meaningful now. “Let’s do it before dawn…”

He was lusting for Li Zhaodi again and he gestured to her.

Li Zhaodi gave him a shy look and lay down pretentiously, but in her heart, she was dying to cut him up.

Looking at his anxious and lusty expression, Li Zhaodi gritted her teeth and thought to herself that when she became the general’s wife, she would chop him into minced meat and feed him to the centipedes!

Halfway through their conversation, Xiaoguo could no longer hold back her emotions. She lowered her head and searched for a suitable tool. She was dying to kill these two bastards with a slash of the knife!

When she heard them talking about Zhuang Zhuang later on, the anger in her heart was erupting. It was Jiang Danhe who hugged her tightly to calm her down. Otherwise, she would have crashed into the house.

The storm in Jiang Danhe’s eyes could no longer be suppressed, but now was not the time. As he listened to each step of their plan, his desire to kill them grew stronger.

In the end, before they could hear any more disturbing noises from the house, Jiang Danhe jumped over the wall with Xiaoguo in his arms.

Along the way, Xiaoguo clenched her teeth tightly, afraid that she would roar to vent her anger if her mouth was open.

Jiang Danhe was the first to calm down. When he saw that Xiaoguo’s lips were bleeding from biting herself, his heart ached for her. He got her to unclench her teeth and gently stroked her bleeding lips. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make them pay the price.”

“…”

Xiaoguo was exceptionally calm. She looked into Jiang Danhe’s eyes and said coldly, “Don’t kill them directly. Make them wish that they were dead.”

Jiang Danhe was stunned. How did she know that he was going to kill them?

Xiaoguo gently pushed the dagger at Jiang Danhe’s waist. She had seen it just now and could guess his intentions.

“…Okay, I will make them wish that they were dead.”

Jiang Danhe nodded and touched Xiaoguo’s emotionless face. It would be more thrilling to do it that way.

Xiaoguo didn’t think of herself as a good person, but she had never taken the initiative to provoke Li Zhaodi. She didn’t expect her to collude with someone to deal with herself. Most importantly, she was plotting against her only weakness in life, Zhuang Zhuang.

In that case, she would not be soft-hearted. Letting them die would be too easy on them. It would be better to let them live in a way that they would rather be dead.

After that day, Xiaoguo hardly saw Jiang Danhe around. Zhuang Zhuang was very puzzled by this and kept asking Xiaoguo where his father had gone.

Xiaoguo knew what he was busy with, but she couldn’t tell Zhuang Zhuang the truth, so she only gave him an ambiguous reply. Although Zhuang Zhuang didn’t understand, he didn’t ask further.

Xiaoguo looked at Zhuang Zhuang, who was writing conscientiously, and felt a chill run down her spine again. How could those two people be so vicious to think about harming an innocent child?

As for Li Zhaodi, neither the previous owner nor herself had ever antagonized her in any way. To think that she was planning such vicious methods to deal with her and even colluded with that person to commit evil.

Recalling what she had heard last night, Xiaoguo felt disgusted, especially when the two of them were fantasizing about her and Jiang Danhe. She was on the verge of throwing up her dinner from the previous night.

She didn’t even know that there was a person called something Louzi in Peach Blossom Village? It was really disgusting. Only now did Xiaoguo understand this saying.

There is a bottom to the abyss, but the human heart is unpredictable.

At night, Jiang Danhe only returned after Xiaoguo had put Zhuang Zhuang to bed.

“Have you eaten?”

Xiaoguo put on her clothes and shoes, and got out of bed. She left the room and looked at the man sitting at the table.

Jiang Danhe shook his head, indicating that he had not eaten.

“I’ll make you something.”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she took the candle and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

At this moment, Jiang Danhe grabbed her. “Don’t trouble yourself. We’ll talk about it in the morning.”

“That won’t do!”

Xiaoguo frowned when she heard that. She waved his hand away and went to cook.

What was this person talking about? That they will talk about it tomorrow. It would feel terrible to go hungry through the night.

When Xiaoguo waved her hand, Jiang Danhe suddenly gasped, as if someone had caused pain to his wound.

“What happened to you?”

Hearing the sound he made, Xiaoguo nervously put down the candle and leaned over to check.

“It’s fine.” Jiang Danhe grabbed Xiaoguo’s hand and assured her.

Xiaoguo wouldn’t listen to him. She did hear something just now. How could he be fine?

As expected, using the light of the candle, she saw that his knuckles were wounded. It seemed that she had accidentally brushed against him when she waved her hand.

“See? It’s nothing serious.”

Jiang Danhe was content to receive Xiaoguo’s concern. Although he really felt that this small injury was nothing, he was satisfied that Xiaoguo was worried about him.

“What do you mean it’s nothing?” Xiaoguo carefully stroked his bruised knuckles. “There’s no ointment at home. What should I do…”

Xiaoguo couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. Why didn’t she keep some ointment at home? Now that his hands were injured, what if they got infected later on?

“I’m really fine,” Jiang Danhe said gently. His heart was melting into a soft mess. “This blood belongs to someone else. I just hit him too hard and bruised my knuckles.”

Jiang Danhe saw that Xiaoguo’s eyes were a little red, so he quickly explained.

“…Really?”

Xiaoguo sniffed and looked up at Jiang Danhe suspiciously.

“Really.”

Jiang Danhe’s heart was melting. Why was Xiaoguo so cute? Her big eyes were red and watery as she looked at him. He was totally melting. He couldn’t take it anymore.

Seeing that Xiaoguo was still not convinced, Jiang Danhe quickly dabbed some water over the wounds and cleaned away the blood stains. He revealed a patch of bruised peeling skin and showed it to Xiaoguo so that she could take a closer look.

“See? It’s fine.”

Xiaoguo held his hand and checked carefully. She realized that it was indeed not that serious. Speechless, she dropped his hand. “Then why were you hissing just now?”

“Sheesh…” Jiang Danhe rubbed his shoulder and elbow. “My hand is fine, but my elbow was injured.”

When Xiaoguo heard this, she rolled her eyes at him. “You’re really something.”

Jiang Danhe pursed his lips and did not say anything. He was too worked up at that time.

“Tell me what happened.”

Xiaoguo poured him a glass of warm water and looked at him with her face in her hands. After a busy day, it was time for him to share his accomplishments.

Jiang Danhe took a sip of water and looked at Xiaoguo. He smiled and said, “I’ll take care of everything. Just wait and see.”

Xiaoguo was immediately dissatisfied. What kind of sharing was this? “I want to hear the details.”

“No… can… tell…”

Jiang Danhe said mischievously. He liked it when Xiaoguo was anxious.

“Hey!” Xiaoguo pouted and looked at his smug expression. She really wanted to knock him on the head.

“Alright…” Jiang Danhe stroked Xiaoguo’s hair and stroked it. “Put simply, it’s giving them a taste of their own medicine.”

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaoguo’s thoughtful expression and tapped her little nose dotingly. “Just wait for the show.”

There were some things that should be left to him. He didn’t want to tell her about the details of all the evil deeds in case they dirtied her ears.
