You might not believe it, but just after Su Banxia transmigrated, her wicked grandmother was about to tie her up and sell her to an old bachelor for money! Act weak? Burst into tears? Not a chance! She grabbed the rough-looking hunter next door, notorious for his temper and feared by everyone, and announced loudly, “I’m already carrying his child. Let’s see who dares touch me!”
The Su family was stunned, and promptly threw the whole eldest branch out of the house.
They thought the eldest branch would starve to death on the streets. Instead, Su Banxia had a Merit System: she treated her parents with one hand and made a fortune selling goods with the other. Her little family thrived. Greedy relatives got jealous and came to take advantage? She kicked every last one of them out!
But the rough-looking man she’d hired to put on an act was only supposed to be pretending. So why did he corner her against the wall every night?
The corners of his eyes reddened, and his voice was hoarse but aggrieved. “Wife, now that we’re officially married, when are we going to take care of that ‘child’?”
