Yunxiang didn't continue talking.
"Does it hurt?"
"It's okay. I'm used to it. I'll just have to bear with it and it will pass."
Yunxiang shook her head.
Moyin stretched out his index finger and gently brushed the wound, and the law of life healed the wound on Yunxiang's arm.
"It doesn't hurt at all now... Thank you, customer."
Although she didn't understand what Moyin had done, the pain was gone and Yunxiang's expression became a little more relaxed. After all, she had been enduring this pain before.
"You do this to support your family, and your husband is reluctant to buy you even some medicine for your injuries?"
After healing Yunxiang's injuries, Moyin sat on the bed and asked. To be honest, he was a little angry. Although he knew that gamblers were incurable, Yunxiang was selling her body at home to support the family and was even beaten and abused during work. As a husband, he was squandering money in the casino and was even reluctant to buy medicine for her injuries. This was really too much.
"Ah... My family is very poor, and the money I earn is just enough to make ends meet. This wound is not serious. I can just apply some soot on it and it will heal in a few days."
Yunxiang said softly.
"…So what does your husband usually do?"
Moyin continued to ask.
"Ah, my husband goes out early every day to find work and comes back very late. The guests don't have to worry. If you are worried, we can go to another place."
Yunxiang mistakenly thought that Moyin was afraid of being caught cheating, so she answered considerately.
".....I don't have money to buy medicine, but I have money to go to the casino. Gamblers really know how to spend their money wisely."
Moyin said with a sneer. He was already very angry. It was such a waste to give such a well-behaved little guy to that gambler. Even though he was treated like this, Yunxiang was still defending him.
When Yunxiang heard Moyin's words, her face changed and she fell into silence.
Since Moyin could say this, she basically... knew who introduced Moyin. Being betrayed by the man to whom she had pledged her body was a very desperate feeling.
"Would you like to come with me? You are my destined partner, and I will take good care of you from now on."
Moyin reached out and gently stroked Yunxiang's cheek.
"No, no! Guest, guest, I only sell my body, not my heart!"
Yunxiang subconsciously opened Moyin's hand with her hand. Although she was selling her body to support her family, she had never changed her mind even after serving many customers.
The guest could press her under him, but that... was just a sacrifice that had to be made to keep this family going. But Moyin's gentle touch just now touched her heart, so she resisted very much... She didn't want to betray her husband.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I, I didn't mean to hit you."
Yunxiang apologized in panic.
"...Don't worry about it. I was too frivolous. But, he treated you like this, do you still love him?"
Moyin looked at Yunxiang and asked.
"Brother Ning... he just took the wrong path for a while. As long as, as long as he gets enough rest one day, he will be able to return to his previous life. We have been through a lot of hardships, and he is just... a little, a little tired."
Yunxiang said hopefully that she herself didn't understand why she said so much to a customer. Perhaps it was because Moyin was very kind to her. She hadn't had someone to talk to for a long time. Most of the customers who came were not very nice to her and were very rude. Some were even cruel... There was no customer like Moyin who was as gentle as she was when chatting with her.
"You said this, do you believe it?"
Moyin asked.
"……………………"
Yunxiang fell into a long silence again.
Every word was heart-wrenching and sharp, but she could not refute it because she had already understood the answer after living for so many years.
"I, I believe it."
Yunxiang said this with little confidence.
"Can you live to see that day?"
Faced with Moyin's soul-searching, Yunxiang fell silent again.
Will she get sick doing this? Maybe one day she will get sick, and she might end up with a serious illness, but when there is no rice to cook the next morning, she can't care so much, she doesn't want her husband to starve.
"Even if you can live to that day, will you still be by his side?"
"I won't leave Brother Ning! No matter what happens!"
Yunxiang said firmly that this was the only point she was very confident about, compared to the first two points.
Her brother Ning might always be addicted to gambling, and she herself might fall seriously ill and die with regret one day, but these are two things she cannot change.
The only decision she could make was to stay with Brother Ning, so she was confident that she could always stay with Brother Ning.
"You will stay with him forever, but what will he do to you?"
"What, what do you mean..."
Hearing this, Yunxiang's heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Moyin with some uneasiness.
"I was just at the casino, and a man came up to me and said that his wife was very beautiful, her name was Yunxiang. This was the indenture he wrote. He had been planning to sell you to the casino, but when he saw that I had money, he wanted to sell you to me."
Moyin took out the indenture contract and handed it to Yunxiang.
Originally, he didn't want to take Yunxiang away in such a cruel way, but Yunxiang was too affectionate. If he didn't do something drastic to cut off this love, continuing to love that man would be nothing but a continuous despair for her, so he had to destroy her psychological defenses first and let her break up with the gambler.
"How...how...could it be that Brother Ning...sold me...? This, this is impossible!!!"
Yunxiang, who had been very strong before, shed two lines of tears and looked at the indenture contract with disbelief.
Being betrayed at the point where she was most confident made her completely devastated.
So...she has no right to make the decision on matters like never leaving or abandoning?
"It's written in black and white. You can recognize his handwriting. Otherwise, we can go to the casino and ask him in person."
Yunxiang bit her rosy little lips and shed tears without answering. There was no way she couldn't recognize Brother Ning's handwriting...she was really sold.
"What's so good about this kind of man? I will love you from now on and will never let you be bullied or wronged again. Forget about him."
Moyin pulled Yunxiang into his arms and gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.
"But, but he said he would never gamble again, and would live a good life with me..."
Yunxiang, who was emotionally broken, could no longer maintain her strong appearance and spoke softly while sobbing.
"Don't believe a word a gambler or drug addict says. Think about how many times he has promised you that he will never gamble again. Once a person gets involved in gambling and drugs, his life is ruined."
"I don't want... I don't want him... to ruin me. When I was a child, my family wanted to... sell me off, but it was Brother Ning... He took me on a boat and ran away, saying that he would definitely not let me be... sold off."
Yunxiang burst into tears and spoke with sobs.
"But now he has betrayed you and sold you out with his own hands. He has broken your trust. You have done very well and have worked very hard to maintain this family."
“Uooooaaaaaaaah.”
Yunxiang cried even harder. She felt very wronged after Moyin told her everything.
An hour later, Yunxiang, tired of crying, fell asleep in Moyin's arms.
Moyin sat motionless on the bed holding Yunxiang, with the indenture contract, which was stained by Yunxiang's tears, next to him.
…………
On the other side, Brother Ning, who had exchanged gold from Moyin, was walking towards the neighboring town with a bag on his back.
Moyin's group won all the money of the gamblers in the town. He had no money to win. Only the dealer had money in his hands. But if he gambled with the dealer, the dealer would definitely cheat, and he would lose the gold in one go.
So he packed his bags and decided to go to the neighboring town to make a fortune. He would not be like Moyin, a fool with a lot of money who would spend money lavishly. He wanted to use small change to win big money slowly and according to a plan.
After traveling for several hours and feeling hungry, Brother Ning took out a pancake from his package and started eating it. This was the pancake Yunxiang had made for him last night.
The pie was very big because Yunxiang was afraid that he would find a job and would not have the energy to work, so she made sure he was full even if she ate very little every day.
"It's dry and hard... If it weren't for the fact that the gold shop couldn't find the change, I would have bought a whole pot of wine no matter what."
Brother Ning frowned and complained as he continued walking towards the neighboring town. The distance between the two towns would take half a day even by carriage. But don't underestimate the gambler's perseverance. In order to gamble, he can persist even until midnight!
It was a rare opportunity to sell Yunxiang for a high price this time, so how could he not seize such an opportunity?
You have to know that if it is sold to the casino, it can only be sold at a low price. The amount offered by the casino is less than one-tenth of this. The fact that Moyin can spend such a huge price to buy Yunxiang can only be said to be a stupid person with a lot of money.
…………
A few hours later, Yunxiang, who had been sleeping in Moyin's arms, slowly opened her eyes. After seeing Moyin's face, she was stunned for a few seconds, then bit her lips lightly, feeling a little at a loss.
The relationship between her and Moyin was somewhat awkward. Moyin did not have sex with her directly like previous customers, and then give her some money and leave. But in terms of relationship, she was sold to Moyin by her brother Ning, and was now Moyin's property.
Usually in this situation, she would either go back to be a slave or a concubine, but Moyin didn't seem to have that intention now. She didn't know how to face Moyin for a moment.
But... I slept a little peacefully. It has been a long time since I fell asleep in someone's arms so gently.
Ever since Brother Ning got into the bad habit of gambling, he has been like a possessed person, spending his days either drinking or gambling.
Plus, after he started selling his body to make money under Aunt Wang’s introduction... he even stopped having sex with her.
She could understand this. Brother Ning thought she was dirty, and if he received too many customers, he might get sick, so she didn't blame Brother Ning.
But sometimes, she also wanted to be hugged gently, but Brother Ning wouldn't do that, and neither would the guests. When she was sad, she could only hug the big white goose she raised.
So the sleep she had just had... Although she didn't want to admit it, it was the most peaceful sleep she had had in the past few years... This peace of mind also made her a little uneasy.
Could it be that I am also a fickle woman? Am I also changing my mind?
Because of her inner turmoil, Yunxiang didn't dare to look at Moyin's face for a moment.
On the other hand, she was a little worried about why Brother Ning didn't come home for dinner so late.
It is said that a husband and wife will be bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. Even though she was sold, her heart could not immediately change from deep love to hatred. Instead, she felt more of a desperate feeling of betrayal.
Chapter 2228: Everything is good except bad luck.
"Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat. Your husband went to the neighboring town to gamble. He won't be back tonight."
Moyin stood up and walked towards the stove. Looking at Yunxiang's pitiful sleeping face, he had wanted to throw her brother Ning into hell more than once. However, seeing that Yunxiang still had feelings for him, doing that kind of thing might destroy the relationship he had just established with Yunxiang, so in the end he resisted the urge to kill her and let her fend for herself.
"How...how can you let the guests do such rough work? I, I will cook."
Yunxiang hurriedly stood up from the bed.
"Why, you don't trust my cooking skills?"
