Chapter 25
After standing by the bed, Lin Zaozao looked into Gu Shan's puzzled eyes early and said, "Gu Shan, I'm going into town in a while. Is there anything you need me to buy for you?"
"No. Lin Zaozao, the town is very far from here. With your two legs, you won't be able to walk back before it gets dark."
"I know. But I heard from the villagers a few days ago that there are ox carts that come to the village entrance every day to take people into town. I'll take an ox cart to go later."
"Okay! Be careful on the way. Remember, it's different outside than at home. You need to be extra careful and not speak recklessly to others."
After speaking, Gu Shan felt around his own bed and grabbed a handful of copper coins from inside and handed them to her.
"Lin Zaozao, you need money to take the ox cart. Take this money and use it on the road."
Looking at the copper coins Gu Shan had handed to her, Lin Zaozao quickly counted about twenty or so. These twenty-odd copper coins were probably Gu Shan's entire fortune!
Yet he had handed over all the money he had to her. From the outside, although Gu Shan was a cold person, in the short two days she had interacted with him, she discovered that of her five husbands, Gu Shan was actually the one who treated her the best.
Such a good person, she must make sure he recovers to full health and becomes normal again.
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao poked Gu Shan's shoulder with her finger and said, "Gu Shan, can I look at your palm?"
Gu Shan didn't say anything, just handed his somewhat emaciated hand over to Lin Zaozao's plump hand.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
In order not to let Gu Shan down for his kindness to her, Lin Zaozao grinned foolishly at Gu Shan, then secretly transferred his illness away while he wasn't looking.
In just a short while, under Gu Shan's flickering gaze, Lin Zaozao gently let go of Gu Shan's hand.
But in order to conceal her special abilities, when Lin Zaozao let go of Gu Shan's hand, she deliberately stroked his hand back in a flirtatious manner.
Being regarded as a flirtatious woman by Gu Shan was better than him discovering the system within her. It was best that no one find out about the system.
Otherwise, it would be endless trouble for her.
"Lin Zaozao, what have you divined this time?"
"I divined that you will definitely rise to high office, make a great fortune, have good health, and everything will go as you wish."
"Uncle Zhang, can I take your ox cart to town?"
The panting Lin Zaozao looked at the somewhat hunched old man taking puffs from a long tobacco pipe and politely asked.
"Girl, you can. But you'll have to pay."
"Uncle Zhang, how much? I'll pay you now."
"Four copper coins round trip. But you're too fat, taking up too much space. Have to add two more coins."
"No problem."
Lin Zaozao laughed as she briskly took out six copper coins from her money pouch and handed them to Uncle Zhang. After all, with her huge size, she was taking up two people's space.
It was only right that he charged her two more coins. After all, Uncle Zhang made his living driving this ox cart.
After taking the copper coins from Lin Zaozao, Uncle Zhang took another puff from his pipe, tapped it out on his shoe sole after feeling it was spent, then helped Lin Zaozao onto the ox cart.
"Girl, though it's good for a girl to be plump. But your body is too fat, it will affect your health. Look, just walking from your home to the village entrance this short distance, you're drenched in sweat already."
After speaking, Uncle Zhang pulled up the blanket on the ox cart and covered Lin Zaozao's knees while muttering.
"Uncle Zhang, my fatness is an illness. When my illness gets better, I'll get thin. When I become thin, I'll definitely become pretty."
"Girl, you're not ugly now."
"Hee hee! Uncle Zhang, you really know how to flatter. Just look at this huge black mark on my face, how could I not be ugly. But Uncle Zhang, I still feel great that you compliment me as pretty."
"As long as you're happy. Girl, for your health, you must take your medicine properly!"
"I will, Uncle Zhang."
Looking at the nagging old man before her warmed Lin Zaozao's heart.
Because a stranger's concern for no reason always touched people the most.
