Chapter 4: A Better Future
Chapter 4
While her Fourth Husband Lang Ruoqiu, although he was a deaf man, he was extremely handsome beyond compare, with facial features as exquisite as if carved by a knife, angular and chiseled, extraordinarily handsome. Beneath a head of thick, lush hair were a pair of slender, fox-like eyes, brimming with affection, that would make anyone involuntarily fall deep the moment they laid eyes on him.
As for her Fifth Husband Lang Gushan, he was a paralyzed man unable to move freely. Although his face seemed rather childish, his eyes darker than lacquer glimmered with an icy glow. Despite the coldness surrounding his body, he exerted an inexplicable attractiveness, making people involuntarily want to approach him, to warm his icy heart with the warmth of their own bodies.
What a pity, both of them were disabled. Otherwise, with their ethereal looks, those in Canglan Country who wished to take them as husbands would have lined up from one end of the village to the other.
Yet now? They were forcibly arranged by the authorities to be husbands beside Lin Xiaohua, this fat and stupid woman, truly a waste of their beautiful faces.
But Lin Zaozao currently paid no mind to the villagers’ discussions, as she was plagued by an inexplicable hunger pang racking her entire body.
Thus, her cries of starvation grew even louder.
Hearing Lin Zaozao’s shrill, grating cries of hunger, her five fine husbands knitted their brows ever so slightly in unison.
If not for their predicament, they would have liked nothing more than to directly slap her to death. So fat and ugly, clamoring noisily!
But upon seeing the spectators encircling the fence outside, they could only forcefully suppress the urge to cover Lin Zaozao’s mouth.
“Lin Xiaohua, stop your wailing for now. If you keep crying, I guarantee you won’t get a single grain of rice later.”
Hearing Ji Fantian’s threatening words, Lin Zaozao’s cries cut off abruptly like a switched off recorder. She lifted her head to gaze pitifully at Ji Fantian, as if he would be an utter scoundrel if he didn’t keep his word later.
When Ji Fantian met Lin Zaozao’s eyes, his heart involuntary marveled.
He truly hadn’t imagined that the ugly and vulgar woman before him would have such clear, limpid eyes.
Perhaps it was because a fool's eyes could not contain any of the filth in this world!
Collecting himself slightly, Ji Fantian said gently to Lin Zaozao,
“Lin Xiaohua, I’ll have Ye Yi bring two buckets of water to your room for you to clean up first. Once you’ve washed up, I’ll give you food. Alright?”
Originally famished, Lin Zaozao had wanted to refuse, but upon seeing the faint threat in Ji Fantian’s eyes, she promptly swallowed her rejection.
Damn, the blind man before her clearly couldn’t see, so why did meeting his eye give her such an overwhelming sense of coercion?
Sure enough, that sanctimonious Ji Fantian was pretending to be blind! How else could he walk without stumbling? 𝓯𝓇𝘦𝘦𝑤ℯ𝓫𝑛𝓸𝑣𝓮𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓶
Succumbing under Ji Fantian's "lecherous coercion", Lin Zaozao could only drag her 280 jin of flesh and fat to laboriously climb up from the ground, before slowly shuffling towards her own room.
Having abruptly gained so much fat on her body, even walking took tremendous effort.
After entering her room, two buckets of well water had already been carried in by Ye Yi, her third husband. Though it was merely chilled water freshly drawn from the well.
Oh well, even without Ji Fantian saying anything, Lin Zaozao couldn’t stand the strange odor on her body. And the current weather wasn't even cold. She could just treat it as a cold shower. After all, she, Lin Zaozao, wasn't a fastidious person, very easy to provide for!
It was probably thanks to the marrow-cleansing liquid and beauty fluids she had consumed earlier! Lin Zaozao saw her body inexplicably secreting black fluids. And the stench on her body was emanating from those black liquids.
[System, were those black things I transferred from Murong Lenghai’s body earlier his illnesses?]
[That’s right, host. But since you’re only an elementary-level transferrer, you’ve only transferred one percent of the diseases in his body.
Host, for your own good and everyone else’s good, please have more intimate contact with Murong Lenghai and your other husbands. There are still large quantities of toxins and illnesses in their bodies waiting for you to save them. And you, host, will obtain more marrow-cleansing liquid and beauty fluids.]
[Alright. For the sake of my wellbeing, I will have more contact with them. But System, do you have any other rewards aside from the marrow-cleansing liquids and beauty fluids?]
[There are, but your current level is too low. I can’t unlock them for you yet. Once you’ve transferred a hundred portions of illnesses and advanced to Level 2, I will have numerous grand gift packs waiting for you!]
Hearing the System’s tone as glib as a swindler coaxing a child, Lin Zaozao lowered her head in contemplation. It seemed that in order to advance her level to 2 faster to rid herself of the poison in her body, she had to slowly shed her reputation as a fool.
After all, a fool wouldn’t be very convincing.
Thinking thus, Lin Zaozao secretly steeled her resolve. From now on, she would take step-by-step efforts to strip herself of the label of “fool” on her head.
Only this way could she act as she wished more conveniently, rather than listening to others’ orders just to eat a bowl of rice like presently.
Thinking of her five husbands outside, as beautiful as flowers yet with the hearts of wolves and dogs, Lin Zaozao gnashed her teeth furiously.
If not for her own wellbeing, she wouldn’t want to touch those vile men even if they were good-looking! In any case, even if she wanted to touch them, they wouldn’t want her to either!
Thus, using the two buckets of cold water, Lin Zaozao carefully washed herself with a cold shower. After washing, looking at the two buckets of pitch-black water, she knew just how filthy her body had been.
Seeing her previously discarded dirty clothes on the ground, Lin Zaozao now refused to wear those smelly garments again. The odor was too offensive.
She turned and opened the room’s sole cabinet. Inside lay a faded, whitened blue coarse cloth jacket and skirt. The edges were already frayed from the original host's wear.
These clothes were very old, the sole garments left to her by the authorities. Because her figure was overly obese, making her one outfit took enough fabric for two outfits on a normal person. The financially-strained authorities that already ran deficits providing for her certainly wouldn’t spend money to make her new clothes!
Although these clothes were somewhat worn, at least they were clean!
Thus, Lin Zaozao shivered her flesh and fat to pull on the room’s only jacket and skirt with difficulty.
But due to the excessive fat on her body, putting them on took immense effort. By the time she finished dressing, her body was inexplicably drenched in sweat again.
Lin Zaozao swiped the sweat off her back. Oh well, sweating more helped lose weight. She hadn't had this obese body before transmigrating!
To abruptly gain so much fat... She had gasped for breath taking even one step during the initial days. After three days of acclimatization though, she had grown accustomed to the fat on her body now.
But what girl would wish herself to become some ugly fat woman?
Thinking thus, the determination in Lin Zaozao’s heart grew firmer.
Since the System had given her this privilege to cheat, she would definitely rely on this ability in this unfamiliar era to live out her own carefree world.
When she became rich, the first order of business was to heal her five husbands so they could return to their individual homes and families. She didn’t want to continue staying with those sinister men!
If possible, she would then find several clever and obedient men to be her new husbands: one to cook, one to tidy the house, and the remaining three to earn money supporting the family.
As for nighttimes...
Hehehehe...
Thinking to here, Lin Zaozao recollected her lewd, excited expression before pushing the door open in embarrassment and indignation, tottering towards the outside.
Her wondrous transmigration life had arrived!
