[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 151

The garment he had hidden was now on Xie Chunian. Luo Ning asked shyly, “How come you’re wearing it already? I haven’t finished making it yet.”

“With such rough stitching, I’ll modify it.”

Xie Chunian smiled. “Where’s the roughness? This clothing looks good and is comfortable to wear. What you made is different. It suits me better than anything from the town.”

Xie Chunian rubbed the hem of the clothes. He didn’t want to take it off at all. Since his mother passed away, no one has made clothes for him. Having a little husband was wonderful.

Warmth filled his heart, and Xie Chunian couldn’t help but hug Luo Ning tightly, like he was holding his most precious treasure.

Luo Ning kissed the man’s cheek, feeling sweet. He knew his work wasn’t great, but in Xie Chunian’s eyes, he was simply the best.

Their feelings for each other were strong, and neither wanted to be apart. Xie Chunian wanted to stay close to his little husband.

But he needed to earn money to provide his little husband with a better life. They were still living in a thatched hut. Previously as a single man, it didn’t matter what he lived in. But now that he had a beloved husband, he needed to work harder to immediately build a proper tile-roof house.

Although they had some savings at home, it wasn’t enough. Building a brick and tile house required at least forty taels of silver. Xie Chunian started brainstorming ways to earn money.

Luo Ning didn’t want Xie Chunian to work too hard. He thought about how to share the burden. He wasn’t physically strong, but he was good in the kitchen.

In any era, good food always finds its supporters. Their town was relatively well-off, so selling snacks would definitely work.

The first thing Luo Ning decided to make was pastries, something he excelled in. He had countless recipes in his mind. Each was not only beautiful but also fragrant and delicious.

When Xie Chunian was about to take their catch to the restaurant to sell, Luo Ning urged him to take the pastries along to see if they could sell. Without their own shop, they could collaborate with someone else.

Xie Chunian had a good relationship with the restaurant owner. Once the owner tasted the pastries, his eyes widened in delight. Such delicate and delicious pastries could easily rival those from the expensive shops in the capital, let alone coming from their small town.

The restaurant owner immediately agreed to buy them at a good price, saying that the pastries Lu Ning made could be delivered daily to the restaurant.

Making the pastries wasn’t easy. Kneading the dough was hard work. As Luo Ning carefully shaped flowers from the dough, Xie Chunian watched with blurred eyes. He was clumsy and couldn’t help, and he didn’t want to make Luo Ning work too hard. He was eager to save money for his little husband to live a comfortable life, not to let him tire out.

…

Luo Ning was well-fed and well-dressed, and with Xie Chunian’s pampering, he no longer looked thin and dark. His skin was now fair and delicate. His brows and eyes were devoid of worry, and his face was round and beautiful. Seeing him made villagers question if this was really Luo Ger. Indeed, after marrying well, he was living a life of happiness.

Some people began to regret their decisions. Who would have thought that Xie Chunian, with his fierce face, would be so affectionate towards his husband? If they had known, they would have married their daughters off to him. Although Xie Chunian could no longer butcher pigs, he was still strong enough to support a family.

Look at how Luo Ger had lived a miserable life at his parent’s home! But after marrying Xie Chunian, he didn’t even need to do farm work anymore.

The villagers discussed this kindly, but to Luo Qing’s ears, it instantly ignited a fire within her. She threw her sickle down and looked at the mud on her hands with disgust.

Nobody knew better than her how good Xie Chunian was, and she was painfully aware of how comfortable Luo Ning was living.

Luo Qing had been keeping an eye on Luo Ning and Xie Chunian, almost like she was sick, secretly watching them be in love. Every glance they exchanged only added to her pain.

But she couldn’t let go. Marrying Xie Chunian was her lifelong obsession, so how could she possibly be willing to give up?

Luo Qing couldn’t understand. From childhood to adulthood, she had always overshadowed Luo Ning in everything, but why was it that Luo Ning had a better fate? Why could he ride high on her neck? She couldn’t accept it. All of this happened because Luo Ning had robbed her of her happiness.

Luo Ning was cherished in Xie Chunian’s hands, but what about her? She faced her parents’ scorn for rejecting that scumbag from the Chen family.

In fact, because no one was doing the farm work at home, she was forced to work herself. When had she ever done such rough work?

Luo Qing felt an ominous sense that something was wrong. She shouldn’t be living this way. Since she was given a second chance at life, she was special, favored by heaven. She didn’t want to live an ordinary life. She wanted to be the wife of a wealthy man, high above others. Xie Chunian was the only opportunity she could seize.

Even if she couldn’t get Xie Chunian’s love, she still wanted to occupy a place beside him.

The gap between her imagination and reality made Luo Qing both jealous of Luo Ning’s good fortune and resentful of Xie Chunian’s indifference.

Luo Ning thought the Luo family would keep quiet, but a few days later, the old couple came knocking again. Unlike before, they arrived with smiles plastered on their faces, their usually harsh faces now wearing forced smiles. They were even carrying two bags of pastries.

Luo Ning was astonished. He knew how stingy these two were.

The old couple from the Luo family insisted that he come home for a meal, saying they missed him and had specially made his favorite dishes.

When someone is kind to you for no reason, it’s either deceit or greed.

No matter how they smiled, Luo Ning directly rejected their invitation. He was unwilling to go no matter what.

Mrs. Luo cursed on her way home, feeling insulted because her younger son confronted her. She was furious.

Luo Qing hurried forward. “Mother, did Xiao Ning agree?”

Mrs. Luo spat, “That ungrateful bastard is just a white-eyed wolf! He’s like spilled water from a cup after getting married. He doesn’t listen to me and your father anymore!”

“This unfilial child, I shouldn’t have given birth to him in the first place!”

Luo Qing was not in the mood to listen to her mother’s complaints. Impatience flickered in her eyes. She remembered that the little brat used to care about his parents’ affection. Why were her mother’s words not working? She asked with dissatisfaction, “Mother, did you scold him? Didn’t I tell you to speak nicely?”

Already irritated, Rao Shi became even angrier at her eldest daughter’s blame. “Why can’t that brat just be considered dead? Why do you want him to come home for a meal anyway? Isn’t it a waste of food?”

Luo Qing stomped her foot, her eyes cold. Of course, she had ulterior motives. Getting Luo Ning to return was not just for a simple meal. She had been planning this for several days.

A few days ago, Luo Qing discovered something. When Luo Ning passed by on the road, the village hooligans kept staring at him. It was clear what that meant. An idea sparked in Luo Qing’s mind.

If Luo Ning had an affair with one of the hooligans and became tainted, she would see whether Xie Chunian would still want him.

Regardless of whether it was a woman or a man, the most important thing was their reputation. Since her own reputation had been thoroughly ruined, why should Luo Ning remain clean? It would be better if he were tainted.

Unfortunately, the walls of the Xie family’s courtyard were too high, and Luo Qing hadn’t found a good opportunity. She specifically had her mother invite Luo Ning back for dinner, having already prepared a drug. As long as Luo Ning consumed it, she could immediately send him to the hooligan’s bed and see how Luo Ning would feel then.

Too bad the little slut was too cunning and refused to fall for her tricks.

Disappointment flashed in Luo Qing’s eyes, but there was a cold smile on her lips. She would find her chance eventually.

After observing carefully, she discovered that Luo Ning often went up the mountain. Luo Qing’s mind raced with strategy.

One day, when Luo Ning went to pick some wild berries for making candied fruit, he didn’t notice someone was following him. He was used to walking at the foot of the mountain and didn’t expect any danger.

Luo Qing followed at a distance, waiting for the right moment to get closer.

She raised the wooden stick in her hand, stealthily approaching Luo Ning with a triumphant smile on her face. Just a little closer, and she would achieve her goal!

It was only thanks to the system’s reminder that Luo Ning managed to evade in time. He turned around cautiously.

Huh? Where did she go?

It seemed he only heard rustling leaves. Where did Luo Qing run off to?

Noticing a pile of fallen leaves not far away, Luo Ning approached and found a hole. It seemed someone had dug it as a trap for hunting prey.

Luo Qing was lying inside, curled up, sobbing pitifully.

At the moment she was about to strike, Luo Qing inadvertently stepped forward a little, only to lose her footing! She fell into the hole.

A sudden, intense pain shot through her body, nearly causing her to faint. Tears streamed down her face, her expression twisted in agony, pale and unable to utter a single word.

Her plan was supposed to knock Luo Ning unconscious and wait for the hooligan to take him away. Then she would call people to catch them in the act of adultery. That way, Luo Ning would have no way to defend himself. Even if he had two mouths, he couldn’t explain himself. At that point, she would fan the flames to push Xie Chunian to divorce Luo Ning.

And yet, her plan failed again!

Luo Ning had no idea about Luo Qing’s plan. He only saw the wooden stick near her and thought she harbored ill intentions and wanted to hit him.

She might even want to kill him. People normally wouldn’t commit such a cruel act, but Luo Qing was a black lotus. She was cold-hearted and ruthless, ready to go to any length.

Thinking of how he had almost been killed, Luo Ning felt a chill run down his spine. Seeing Luo Qing lying in the pit, he felt no sympathy and coldly turned to leave.

If Luo Qing was so capable, she could climb out herself. If not, she could wait for someone else to find her. He wouldn’t help her call for help.

After this incident, Luo Ning lost his urge to pick wild fruits and hurriedly left.

The forest fell silent, and another man entered. He was thin and had a monkey-like face, rubbing his hands and grinning, looking extremely lewd.

He recalled the strange noises he had heard behind the house last night, saying he should come to the west foot of the mountain in the afternoon, where a cheap wife was waiting for him.

The hooligan didn’t know who sent him. However, he was naturally interested in the possibility of gaining something.

He looked around but didn’t see anyone. Still unconvinced, he searched again until he heard faint noises. He quickened his pace and soon found a person in the hole.

It seemed to be the eldest daughter of the Luo family, who had already fainted.

So this was where she was waiting for him.

With a sly grin, the hooligan leaped down to scoop Luo Qing up. Noticing Luo Qing’s pale complexion, he found her injured, which slightly disappointed him. Just as he was about to take her to the Luo family, he paused.

How could he leave without taking advantage?
