Chapter 21： : Being spicy

The person who spoke was none other than Li Yinhua.

After she finished speaking, she looked as if she had just seen Gu Xueting. With just one glance, her face turned red and her heart was pounding as if she had kicked a rabbit.

Oh my God! How could there be such a handsome man in the world!

She thought that the young owner of the restaurant in the county town was good-looking enough, but she didn't expect that compared to the person in front of her, it was nothing at all.

Just like fireflies compared to the sun and the moon, there is no comparison at all.

Moreover, his demeanor was extraordinary. Although she couldn't tell what was so good about him, she was sure that he definitely came from a wealthy family.

I heard that the young masters of wealthy families have many wives and concubines. It would be great if she could be taken aback by Mr. Gu and take her home!

In a few breaths, Li Yinhua's mind went through many thoughts.

How could Shen Yizhi not see through her little thoughts?

He glanced at Gu Xueting with a half-smile.

“You’re not sick, come back.”

Li Yinhua still had such an idea even though she knew that Gu Xueting was her "husband", Shen Yizhi was naturally unhappy with her.

However, she is really not sick.

Li Yinhua came over, grabbed Shen Yizhi's sleeve and begged: "Doctor Shen, you haven't even checked my pulse, how do you know I'm not sick? Just show me."

Shen Yizhi just laughed.

“Are you questioning my medical skills?”

“I’m not, Doctor Shen, how can you say that...”

“With your rosy complexion and high energy, how could you be sick? Oh, by the way, you are indeed sick. There is a disease here. I suggest you go back and eat more pig brains.”

Shen Yizhi nodded his head.

Gu Xueting couldn't help but chuckle.

When Shen Yizhi looked over, he stopped and lowered his head as if he was making dumplings seriously.

Li Yinhua bit her lower lip and looked at Gu Xueting, only to see that he didn't give her a single glance.

Hand in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly hate himself. It must have been because of Shen Yizhi, the principal wife, that he ignored him.

Shen Yizhi really has no self-awareness at all. He is already disfigured and looks ugly. Why does he still want to dominate Mr. Gu?

Even if she looks average, she is much better than her, right?

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but gain more confidence and decided to give it a try.

As she stood up, she suddenly felt weak and fell down.

At this moment, Mr. Gu should pick her up, right?

It's a pity that she thought too beautifully.

Shen Yizhi and Gu Xueting had no interest in applauding her poor acting skills.

Since she likes to lie on the floor, she’ll do it.

Li Yinhua never expected that they would just let her lie on the ground and do nothing.

The ground was cold. After lying there for a while, she felt that her body was soaked by the cold air, which made her shiver. But if he stood up at this time, wouldn't he tell Mr. Gu that he was pretending to be faint?

How much will it destroy his image in his mind?

So Li Yinhua stood firm and did not move.

Qing Bao glanced at her and said, "Mother?"

Shen Yizhi kissed him loudly on the cheek and said, "This old aunt likes to sleep on the ground, so don't worry about her."

“Oh!” Qing Bao continued to fight with the dumplings in his hands.

That serious look made Shen Yizhi feel itchy again.

But Li Yinhua was furious.

Old aunt? How dare Shen Yizhi say that to her! How can she, an unmarried young lady, be as old as a woman who has given birth to a child and is old and beautiful!

Li Yinhua, who was lying on the ground, watched the cold air coming from the ground while listening to the warm interactions between Shen Yizhi's "family of three", feeling both hate and jealousy in her heart.

Finally she couldn't lie down anymore and pretended to regain consciousness, "Ah, why am I lying on the ground?"

As a result, no one answered.

This is really embarrassing.

However, Li Yinhua was also able to bend and stretch, so she handed herself a step: "Doctor Shen, my head suddenly stopped hurting again, so I went back."

As soon as she left the yard, her face became extremely gloomy, and her triangular eyes, which were exactly the same as Mrs. Wang's, seemed to be condensing poison.

Shen, Yi, Zhi!

The soup in the pot is boiling and bubbling.

Shen Yizhi put the dumplings in.

Gu Xueting came back from outside with Qing Bao in his arms.

“What were you doing out holding Qing Bao?”

“I went to the village chief’s house.”

Gu Xueting pushed Qing Bao up in his arms. Now that he had mastered the skill of holding a child, it looked very normal.

"Going to the village chief's house?" Shen Yizhi was even more surprised.

However, looking back, Xue Ting didn't answer her again, and went to play with Qing Bao aside.

Really, I even started playing riddles with her.

Shen Yizhi didn't ask any more questions, went into the kitchen, took out the dumplings, and mixed the dipping sauce.

“Can you eat spicy food?” she asked Gu Xueting.

There is no shortage of all kinds of seasonings in this world, and she is a person who loves spicy food, so she bought a lot of chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, etc., as well as various hot sauces.

Gu Xueting thought he could eat it, so he nodded, and Shen Yizhi added more chili peppers to him.

As for Qing Bao, he could only eat it with the soup. Shen Yizhi didn't dare to give him spicy food.

Gu Xueting picked up a dumpling, dipped it in the sauce, and put it into his mouth. As a result, his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that Shen Yizhi had more chili peppers on his plate than he did, but was eating it with gusto and didn't seem to feel spicy at all, he silently drank a glass of water to suppress the spiciness that shot straight up to the sky.

"What's wrong? Is it too spicy?" Shen Yizhi couldn't help but ask when he saw that he took a mouthful of dumplings and drank a sip of water.

“Ahem, it’s actually not bad.”

Although it is spicy, it is really enjoyable and makes people unable to stop eating.

Shen Yizhi and Qing Bao both have limited food intake. Even if they still want to eat, their stomachs can no longer hold it.

As for Gu Xueting, she looks elegant and gentle, but she is really good at eating.

He finished all the remaining dumplings.

Putting down his chopsticks, the technique began to circulate in his body.

He found that every time he ate the food cooked by Shen Yizhi, the exercises would run particularly smoothly. At this time, practicing would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

In just a few days, his internal strength has grown a lot, which is enough to be worth the effort of cultivation in the past year.

After absorbing the energy contained in the food, he was about to stop, but found that he was close to a breakthrough, and his internal energy was running faster and faster, and it was somewhat beyond his control.

The internal force, which is much more active than usual, is like a surging river at this time, swimming forward in the meridians with indomitable speed and repeatedly hitting the walls.

Shen Yizhi noticed that he seemed to be in a critical moment, and hurriedly picked up Qing Bao, who was about to crawl on top of him, and said softly: "Baby, your uncle Gu has something to do, so let's not disturb him. Come on, mother will play with you."

When Gu Xueting woke up, it was already the zenith of the moon.

The moonlight, as clear as snow, shone down, and everything in the yard was clearly visible.

Lijiazhuang was quiet at night, except for the occasional barking of dogs and the chirping of insects.
