chun jie di xiao long

Chapter 8 Scared Shitless!

"I'm sorry."

Zhou Ze gestured that he didn't mean to, because it was just too embarrassing, especially given that he didn't know why the live-in son-in-law "Xu Le" was so disliked by his parents-in-law.

"Not feeling well?" Doctor Lin put down her chopsticks and asked.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Zhou Ze picked up his chopsticks again and shoveled rice into his mouth,

But just as he got it into his mouth and before he could swallow,

Another spasm hit his stomach, and a strong sense of nausea rose from the depths of his heart, as if what he was about to swallow wasn't rice, but rice's son, mitian gong (feces).

"Pfft..."

This time,

Zhou Ze spat out the rice grains in his mouth,

Spraying them on the faces of his parents-in-law sitting across from him.

Rice grains clung to his father-in-law's glasses and hair,

His mother-in-law's updo was also covered in white, sparkling specks,

With a "clatter,"

The chopsticks fell from his father-in-law's hand, and his face twitched a few times, as if he hadn't yet figured out what emotion to use to face the current situation.

His mother-in-law took a deep breath, the fire of anger already burning fiercely in her eyes!

This was,

Not appreciating the kindness shown to him!

"Bang!"

His mother-in-law pushed back the chair behind her and stood up.

"Xu Le!"

His mother-in-law was a retired head nurse, so she knew that even if a person was sick, it was impossible to spit out rice so exaggeratedly, and besides, looking at Xu Le's appearance, he didn't seem like he was "on the verge of death."

He was doing it on purpose,

He was definitely doing it on purpose!

He was rebelling!

Rebelling!

Zhou Ze clutched his chest, left the dining table directly, rushed into the bathroom, lifted the toilet lid, and began to retch desperately.

This time, he even vomited up bile, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth.

This meal, he wouldn't be able to eat.

Doctor Lin looked at Xu Le, who was still vomiting in the bathroom, and said directly to her younger sister:

"Xiao Yi, go cook some noodles."

"Oh, okay."

The sister-in-law stuck out her tongue, she also felt that today's brother-in-law was playing it a bit too big, and immediately left the table to prepare some noodles in the kitchen.

"Outrageous, this bastard!"

His father-in-law slapped the table, reached out and took off his glasses to shake them. Xu Le's father-in-law had retired as a deputy director of a hospital, and usually paid the most attention to his refined appearance, but today, his bottom line had been broken.

"I'm going to ask that guy what we've done to offend him! We didn't ask him for a penny of bride price when we got married, and we even paid for him to open that money-losing bookstore, what have we done to offend him!"

His mother-in-law prepared to go to the bathroom.

"Mom, let's clean up here, he's not feeling well."

Doctor Lin began to clear the barely touched dishes from the table.

"You're still protecting him after all this?" His mother-in-law pointed at her daughter and scolded her, enraged.

"Otherwise what? Who was it that threatened me with hanging myself to force me to get married in the first place?" Doctor Lin looked directly at her mother, her pretty face looking particularly resolute at this moment.

His mother-in-law was speechless for a moment. Indeed, it was them who had forced their daughter to marry in the first place. They were eager to have a grandson, so they racked their brains to recruit Xu Le as a live-in son-in-law. At that time, they thought it was simple: she and her husband only had two daughters, so they had no choice but to recruit someone to live in, so that the grandson would carry their family name. And Xu Le's parents were gone, and he was also considered a college graduate, which met their requirements.

"I'm not eating anymore."

His father-in-law didn't dare to look his daughter in the eye. It was he who had personally made the decision in the first place. Now that he thought about it, he really did feel a bit sorry for his daughter. He got up directly and went back to his study.

"Hey, old man, you have a stomach problem." His mother-in-law called out anxiously.

"Mom, bring a bowl of noodles to Dad later."

Doctor Lin cleaned up the table and then walked towards the bathroom.

His mother-in-law looked at her daughter's back, and didn't say anything more in the end.

Pushing open the glass door of the bathroom, Doctor Lin saw Zhou Ze kneeling next to the toilet, one hand grabbing the edge of the toilet and the other hand clutching his chest.

"Not feeling well?"

"I'm okay." Zhou Ze replied. He was clearly fine before dinner, but who knew that as soon as he was about to eat something, it would turn out like this.

"I asked Xiao Yi to cook some noodles, you can eat again later..."

"Ugh..."

At the thought of noodles, Zhou Ze only felt a strong sense of nausea coming from the depths of his heart again, and then he started to retch again.

Lin Wanqiu frowned slightly,

"Go to the hospital?"

"No need, I'm fine, I won't eat."

Zhou Ze waved his hand, stood up with great difficulty, and rinsed his mouth and washed his face by the sink.

Tonight's dinner was destined to end unhappily.

His parents-in-law and sister-in-law lived on the first floor, while Zhou Ze and Lin Wanqiu's bedroom was on the second floor.

After cleaning up, Zhou Ze took a shower. Because he didn't know where his change of clothes was, he simply didn't change them for now, and went up to the second floor with his hair still wet, wearing the same clothes as before. As soon as he got out of the stairwell, he found Lin Wanqiu taking a shower in the bathroom on the second floor.

Zhou Ze stood at the bathroom door for a while, looking at the graceful figure reflected inside, and gently licked his lips.

People are always most impulsive at this time, and of course, they are also most grateful at this time.

"Thank you."

Zhou Ze muttered silently in his heart,

This was the first time since he had transmigrated that Zhou Ze had given the unlucky ghost Xu Le a thumbs-up.

Although, you left behind an extremely terrible interpersonal relationship, but your wife, is really beautiful.

With a bit of fantasy, a bit of excitement, a bit of impatience, a bit of expectation,

Zhou Ze pushed open the bedroom door,

Then,

Zhou Ze's face changed, and he bit his lip,

And in his heart, he dragged Xu Le, whom he had just praised, out and whipped him ten thousand times.

The bedroom was large,

A big bed,

Next to the big bed,

There was also a mattress on the floor!

What does this mean? Even a fool would know!

Was that guy out of his mind?

Was that guy a moron?

What's the point of being a live-in son-in-law like you?

Zhou Ze took three deep breaths in a row, and then silently lay down on the mattress on the floor.

Sleep,

Don't bother anymore,

Don't think about it.

See if he can get some money, become independent, and then whether it's divorce or whatever, resolve this complicated relationship. He came back through soul-transmigration, and there are still many problems he has to face.

Lin Wanqiu came out after taking a shower. She was wearing a blue nightgown. The nightgown was a bit loose, and it looked a bit baggy on her.

Zhou Ze, who was lying on the mattress on the floor, subconsciously swallowed.

"Get up." Lin Wanqiu said.

"Huh?"

"It's always been you sleeping on the bed and me sleeping on the floor." Lin Wanqiu said.

"............" Zhou Ze got up silently and got into bed.

Lin Wanqiu turned off the light and lay down on the mattress on the floor.

Perhaps, this was her compensation for not wanting to share a bed with Xu Le; she slept on the floor.

Zhou Ze sighed,

And prepared to sleep.

Half an hour later, he didn't fall asleep, and turned over.

An hour later, he didn't fall asleep, and turned over.

Even after three hours, it was already midnight, and he still hadn't fallen asleep.

His eyelids were fighting, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

And Lin Wanqiu on the mattress on the floor was breathing steadily, and should have fallen asleep.

Zhou Ze swore that it definitely wasn't because there was a beautiful woman sleeping next to him that he was feeling restless and couldn't fall asleep;

He was very sleepy and very tired, after all, so many things had happened today.

But he just couldn't fall asleep, damn it.

Lying in bed, Zhou Ze simply opened his eyes and looked at his hands.

Today, he used these hands to save the little girl's life. Although the little girl hadn't woken up yet, her vital signs had returned, and there was still hope of saving her.

Was this a special ability he had obtained after taking a trip to hell?

Or,

Was it something that the old man left behind when he grabbed his wrist before he died?

However,

It seemed to feel pretty good.

As a doctor, with these hands, how many people's lives could he save?

This was a kind of ability that transcended medical technology and comprehension, and could even allow him to reach a level surpassing Hua Tuo and Bian Que (famous ancient Chinese doctors). Practitioners in every field hoped that one day they could surpass their founding fathers; this was perhaps not for money, nor for profit, but for a kind of... sentiment.

But at this moment,

Zhou Ze suddenly felt a spasm in his arms, and a sharp pain quickly attacked him.

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze gasped in a breath of cold air, and his entire body curled up in the bed.

But this pain continued, and even intensified!

Zhou Ze was sweating from the pain. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to get out of bed and walk out of the bedroom.

He went to the bathroom, didn't turn on the light, and just sat on the toilet. At this moment, Zhou Ze saw that from his arms all the way to his fingernails, there were streaks of blue veins that were almost about to burst open.

The pain originated from them, as if something was knocking on his bone marrow.

Damn it,

What the hell is going on!

Zhou Ze's face began to twist,

This feeling made him wish he were dead, and even made him want to grab a kitchen knife and chop off his arms.

In a daze, he seemed to recall the scene of himself lying in the ice coffin and being pushed into the incinerator,

And he also seemed to recall the fragments of wandering aimlessly in hell towards the end,

Was this a curse?

Was this punishment?

Why am I being punished?

What did I do wrong?

Was it because I snuck back?

Was it because I wasn't a living person, so God was punishing me?

Or... was it because I used it to save someone today?

Yes, that must be the reason.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath. Because he used that ability to save someone, he broke some rules and suffered a backlash?

Then,

Then if I go and kill that girl again now, would the pain stop?

In Zhou Ze's eyes, some black mist began to gather, but he was completely unaware of it.

"Uncle, you can't smoke in the hospital, okay?"

The little girl's voice reappeared in Zhou Ze's mind,

Zhou Ze shook his head violently,

No,

I saved her, and that's that!

I don't regret it,

I don't regret it!

………………

"Mom, are you not done yet?"

"I just started, you can go to the bathroom on the second floor."

"Okay then."

The sister-in-law walked up to the second floor. She couldn't hold it in any longer. The bathroom on the second floor wasn't lit, so she pushed open the door and walked in directly.

Then,

At this moment,

Zhou Ze raised his head to look at her,

She also looked at Zhou Ze,

In Zhou Ze's eyes, black mist floated, carrying an extremely strong deterrent force. It was a gaze like that of a vengeful ghost crawling out of hell, full of resentment and madness.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The sister-in-law screamed in fright,

And then her entire body fell to the ground,

She looked at Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze was also looking at her,

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Ze saw under the sister-in-law's pajamas,

She was,

So scared that she peed herself?
