I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 228 In fact, you have been living off me for a long time.

Zhengcheng.

The familiar city came into view, and I passed by Zhongyuan Tower and Big Corn Building.

Although Xu Musen had already planned to stay in Shanghai in the future, he felt a sense of security only after entering Zhengcheng.

No one here would call him a bastard, but it's easy for him to lose his aunt...

Looking at the familiar streets, Yao Mingyue's mood seemed to have improved a lot, especially when she passed the road they used to walk together after school. The corners of her mouth were always curved, and many memories emerged in her mind.

When passing by a snack street, it happened to be the time when students were getting out of school. The students in blue and white school uniforms immediately surrounded the snack street.

Many snacks that are not available in Shanghai also have a familiar taste.

Hairy eggs, starch sausage, and some soda are all full of memories. The streets are bustling, not as prosperous as Shanghai, but it has its own flavor.

Xu Musen prepared to cook a meal for his parents so that they could taste his cooking skills.

Xu Musen parked the car on the side of the road and got out with Yao Mingyue to go to the market to buy vegetables.

"Xu Musen, do you still remember this road?"

After getting off the bus, Yao Mingyue pointed at the students queuing outside to buy snacks. Her eyebrows were gentle, and her eyes were full of memories: "You used to buy me a lot of delicious food every day."

Of course Xu Musen remembered that when he was in school, he would always take out his pocket money to buy some food for Yao Mingyue.

Of course, after what happened at home.

The snacks Xu Musen gave her changed from exquisite chocolate cakes to roadside grilled sausages and meatballs.

Looking at the boys and girls in school uniforms on the street.

In a trance, I saw my former self, but the person wearing the school uniform now was not them.

Although it has only been half a year, they already feel that they are different from before.

Xu Musen looked at the Audi car key in his hand. The students passing by also showed curiosity and envy when they saw the Audi logo.

Xu Musen felt a little sad. A year ago, he never had more than a few dozen yuan in pocket money.

It takes a while to think before buying a sausage.

But now, he can enjoy his snacks freely, but when he looks at those snacks that he once craved so much, especially the grilled sausages that cost one dollar each, he no longer craves them as much as before.

"I'm sure Miss Yao won't be thinking about these things now."

In the past, every time Yao Mingyue received snacks from Xu Musen, she would always be very happy and would share the snacks she bought with him.

Actually... sometimes, Yao Mingyue would always give the leftover roasted chicken legs, or the meatballs that she had taken a bite of, to Xu Musen if she couldn't finish them herself.

Xu Musen was very happy. After all, for him, who used to be keen on being a bootlicker, wasn’t this a good opportunity to kiss his goddess indirectly?

Thinking of it, Xu Musen feels a little bit vulgar...

But now these things are definitely not in her eyes.

But Yao Mingyue held her cheeks with a smile on her lips: "But don't some people like to eat it? And they especially like to eat things that make me drool~"

Yao Mingyue blinked her almond-shaped eyes, which at this moment showed a fox-like cunningness.

This one sentence directly touched upon the most shameful side of Xu Musen's heart.

Xu Musen's face turned red, but he coughed solemnly: "Stop spitting blood!"

"Am I slandering others?"

Yao Mingyue smiled even more happily: "Then why did you always leave the whole snacks uneaten and insist on eating the ones I left?"

"I'm not wasting food. We've only had enough food for a few years. Do you know that in the past famine years, a steamed bun could save a life?"

Xu Musen's words were convincing and every word made sense.

Yao Mingyue just looked at him and smiled without saying a word, but her smile became even happier.

Xu Musen simply ignored her.

It's an old matter, and there's no point in digging it up again.

"Xu Musen, I want to eat grilled sausage."

Yao Mingyue tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"I'll be home for dinner soon."

"No, I want to eat this now. I'm still a patient, you have to take care of me!"

"Miss Yao, you know you are a patient, so eat less junk food."

Yao Mingyue tilted her mouth and laughed, "Yeah, now I'm rich. The snacks I couldn't eat before have become junk food now. Men are like this. When they have a new love, they forget the old one. Forget it. Anyway, I'm just like a snack. I'm going to be thrown away like garbage..."

As Yao Mingyue spoke, she even raised her hand and began to touch the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes.

The more Xu Musen listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He saw her tone becoming more and more aggrieved, and her words were making indirect accusations.

Her body was not completely recovered. She still looked a little sickly red, and the Band-Aids on her hands made her look even more pitiful. In the eyes of others, Xu Musen was a domestic violence man who couldn't even bear to buy sausages for his wife.

"Okay, okay, wait for me to buy it for you, okay?"

Xu Musen surrendered. Ever since what happened two days ago, Xu Musen could no longer maintain a firm attitude towards her.

Moreover, Yao Mingyue is becoming more and more skilled in using this soft knife to control people.

From sickly to evil...

"You take a rest in the car."

Xu Musen didn't let her get off the car because it was windy outside and he didn't want her to catch a cold again.

"I will wait for you to come back~"

Yao Mingyue gave a triumphant smile, leaned against the car window and blinked at him.

"..."

Xu Musen looked at her. Why did these phoenix eyes suddenly turn into fox eyes that could bring disaster to the country and the people?

Sure enough, boys respond to soft tactics and not hard ones.

Girls just respond to hard things, not soft things.

It's about character...

Xu Musen went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some vegetables. With his cooking skills, he had already cooked several meals for Nuannuan's family, and Liu Rushuang had also tasted them.

But I haven’t prepared a proper New Year’s Eve dinner for my parents.

On the way back, Xu Musen bought a grilled sausage. The cheapest starch sausage cost one yuan, and the meat one cost three yuan.

"Boss, give me some grilled sausage."

"okay!"

Xu Musen has seldom eaten at roadside stalls recently, and An Nuannuan's taste buds have become more and more picky due to his cooking skills.

Now my favorite food is the food he cooks.

The things sold at these roadside stalls are high in oil and sugar, and the oil is probably defective. It’s either gutter oil or the kind of old oil that is never replaced.

But since we all come here to eat roadside snacks, we don’t really care.

I'm already eating instant noodles, do I still care whether it's nutritious or not?

Moreover, the aroma of oil and seasoning is really tempting.

Xu Musen looked at the starch sausage beside him.

More scenes from the past suddenly came to his mind.

At that time, my family had just experienced a major change.

Xu Musen's pocket money is only one or two yuan a day. Apart from meals, he is reluctant to buy any snacks.

When we are in our teens, we are actually the most greedy. We see people around us eating all kinds of snacks every day.

It would be a lie for Xu Musen to say that he was not greedy. The greedier he was, the more uncomfortable he felt. His life, which was relatively good before, suddenly fell to the bottom of society. The gap was difficult for a child to describe.

Especially when he saw some boys giving Yao Mingyue some small gifts, Xu Musen felt even sadder.

He also wanted to give Yao Mingyue something, but at that time, the money in his pocket could only buy him a cheapest starch sausage... But after giving it to Yao Mingyue, he could only swallow his saliva silently.

Moreover, Yao Mingyue seemed to have a special liking for starch sausages and would always try to snatch his sausages to eat.

Fortunately, after she finished eating the starch sausage, she couldn't eat the grilled sausage she bought. After taking a bite, she left it for Xu Musen to finish it for her...

It's like carrying a mobile trash can with you.

Thinking back to those days, I felt a little happy despite the bitterness. "Boss, give me another starch sausage."

Xu Musen suddenly spoke.

"Okay, handsome boy, take it."

The boss prepared the meat sausage and starch sausage and handed them to Xu Musen.

Xu Musen took the grilled sausage and smelled it. Whether it was the aroma or the appearance, the meat sausage must be delicious.

Back in the car.

Yao Mingyue was already twitching her nose and could smell the aroma of grilled sausages.

"I bought it for you."

Xu Musen was about to hand her favorite starch sausage to her, but he saw Yao Mingyue directly picked up the grilled sausage and bit into it without hesitation.

"Hmm~ I haven't eaten our grilled sausages for a long time. It still tastes the same as before."

Yao Mingyue narrowed her eyes and saw Xu Musen looking at her absentmindedly: "What's wrong?"

"Don't you like starch sausage?"

"When did I say I like eating starch sausage?"

Yao Mingyue blinked and looked at him.

"Then why did you always snatch my starch sausages?"

Xu Musen said this speechlessly, thinking back to the time when he only had one or two yuan in pocket money every day.

I couldn’t afford grilled sausages, so I could only eat a starch sausage. But every time I tried to buy one, it would be snatched away by Yao Mingyue immediately.

In the end, Yao Mingyue would leave him the leftover sausages or some other things.

Although Xu Musen did not dislike it and was even a little excited, he always felt like he was being teased by her at that time.

It’s like a child snatching other people’s snacks. In fact, he may not like to eat them, but just wants to steal what others like.

This little yandere has been like this since she was young. She takes away everything Xu Musen likes and replaces it with what she likes.

Xu Musen sighed inwardly and took a bite of the sausage. Well, you get what you pay for.

Starchy ones are definitely not as delicious as meat ones.

But as Yao Mingyue bit the grilled sausage, her pair of almond-shaped eyes sparkled with a bit of luster. Looking at the somewhat depressed Xu Musen, she curled the corners of her mouth.

"Idiot."

"?"

After being scolded for no reason again, Xu Musen turned around and looked at her.

But Yao Mingyue pressed a grilled sausage against his lips.

He subconsciously tried to open his mouth, but it was stuffed right in.

This action is somewhat contrary to Tiangang.

The girl's eyes, sparkling with luster and gentle expression, made Xu Musen a little dazed.

"That's because... I want to let a certain guy who used to be greedy and stubborn and needed to eat meat to grow eat more."

Yao Mingyue's voice was soft, and her eyes flickered as she watched Xu Musen take a bite of the grilled sausage.

It was as if I had returned to a scene from several years ago.

"I still remember when our family was in the most difficult times, our lives were in a state of decline. There was a time when even eating meat was a luxury for us..."

Yao Mingyue recalled her previous life.

Xu Musen naturally couldn't forget it either.

At that time, my father was still in hospital, and all the family money was tied up in a company on the verge of bankruptcy. The whole family depended on my mother alone to support it.

Yao Mingyue's family was not having an easy time either, even though her father gave all the compensation to her and her daughter.

But the family still lost its financial pillar, so Liu Rushuang could only use the remaining money to support the company.

During that period, Xu Musen had only one or two yuan in pocket money every day, and Yao Mingyue had at most five or six yuan.

"But at that time, you were starting to grow, but in order to save money, you could only eat some vegetarian dishes and rice every day, and free millet porridge. You only had one or two yuan of pocket money every day, but you bought grilled sausages and gave them to me first..."

Yao Mingyue said that life was very hard at that time, but when she thought of the time when Xu Musen gave all his remaining favor to her, the corners of Yao Mingyue's mouth curved into a sweet smile.

Xu Musen chewed the sausage in his mouth and looked at Yao Mingyue at this moment. He also saw the little girl from the past.

At that time, Yao Mingyue's life was not very good.

The little princess from a wealthy family suddenly encountered the lowest point in her life, and her family became financially difficult.

She began to rarely buy new clothes and rarely eat her favorite pastries.

In school, there are many people who want to pursue her. As long as Yao Mingyue is willing, many boys will give her beautiful clothes, delicious pastries, and exquisite gifts. She can still be that glamorous little princess.

But she didn't. No matter what the boys who wanted to show their affection to her gave her, she never even glanced at them.

But the only thing she never refused was the grilled sausage that Xu Musen gave her, which cost only one dollar each.

Even in the hardest moments of life.

Xu Musen also did not forget to give her his best preference.

But at the same time, Yao Mingyue never gave up her love for Xu Musen because of other people's kindness.

Xu Musen's heart was almost washed over and over by the waves of the past. Thinking back now, many things in the past actually contained a romance that he could not experience when he was young.

Yao Mingyue smiled and continued, "At that time, I wanted you to eat more meat, but you were very sensitive and stubborn. If I spent money to buy you pure meat sausages, you definitely wouldn't eat them..."

Xu Musen knew his temper at the time. Like all boys, he could not afford to make a fool of himself or show his embarrassing side in front of the girl he liked.

Every time he spent his remaining pocket money to buy Yao Mingyue a starch sausage, although he was very greedy in his heart, he said that he didn't like to eat these things.

Especially for Xu Musen at that time, so many things happened at home, and the classmates who used to play together could no longer play together. There were even many people secretly talking about their family situation behind their backs.

Human nature is to be afraid of the strong bullying the weak.

Xu Musen even had several fights with others because of some people's sarcasm. For Xu Musen, who was a teenager at the time, his self-esteem was stubborn and fragile.

Especially in front of the girl he likes, he doesn't want to show his embarrassing side.

Yao Mingyue looked at him and could read all his thoughts from his eyes. She smiled and snatched the starch sausage from Xu Musen's hand.

It was as skillful and natural as if he had snatched his life away countless times before.

"So, I just want to snatch your sausages to eat. The more unreasonable I am in snatching them and the more I show that I like them, the faster the little boy's self-esteem in your heart will be appeased, and the more at ease you will feel when eating what I give you."

Yao Mingyue chuckled and snatched the starch sausage from his hand, then handed him the pure meat sausage in her hand.

Just like many years ago...

"Stingy guy, can't I take a bite of you?"

"Your starchy sausage tastes better than my meat sausage. Here, let me change it for you."

"Hey, I'm full, you help me eat the rest. If you waste food, I'll let Auntie spank you!"

She didn't like eating starch sausages at all, but just so he could have a bite of pure meat grilled sausages, she pretended to like eating them for so many years.

Yao Mingyue took a bite of the starch sausage and chewed it: "Well, it's really not very delicious. I still can't get used to it."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Musen with a smile: "Some people said before that they would never eat a single piece of my soft rice in this life, but, you have eaten it for several years~"

Xu Musen looked at her, then lowered his head to look at the fragrant grilled meat sausage in his hand.

It turns out that I have been living off her in disguise for so long?
Looking at Yao Mingyue's expression at this moment, for the first time, Xu Musen did not feel aversion to the word "living off her husband". Instead, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

My unreasonable behavior is to make you feel at ease...

Xu Musen gradually realized that he didn't seem to fully understand his childhood sweetheart, nominal sister, and wife in his previous life...

He picked up the grilled sausage in his hand.

This was the best thing he could eat during that most difficult time.

It was also the first time that Yao Mingyue went to such great lengths to give him a "free meal".

Xu Musen looked at it for a long time, and finally put it in his mouth and chewed it.

If it's this kind of soft rice.

Love to eat~
