The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Chapter 4: Marry me, won’t you regret it?

Chen Xi's weak and injured body finally arrived at the Xie family before her last bit of strength was exhausted. She raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Crench."

The door was cautiously pushed open, and two little kids who were still childish appeared in front of him.

They stared at Chen Xi with a pair of innocent big eyes, their gazes were intertwined with alertness, fear and confusion.

Regardless of whether they were Xie Tianyi's sons or not, in Chen Xi's eyes, they were all as cute as little angels, which reminded her of Chen Rong when she was a child.

"Is your father home? I have something to ask him."

Perhaps because there hadn't been any visitors in the house for a while, the children seemed a little nervous, but they still politely invited Chen Xi into the house.

"Dad, Dad! A beautiful sister is here to see you!"

Hearing this sweet name, Chen Xi was quite happy. What a sweet-talking child.

At this time, Xie Tianyi was lying on the bed reading a book. Hearing the sound, his handsome brows frowned slightly, and his dark and deep eyes turned towards the door.

I thought it was another enthusiastic matchmaker who brought the girl to propose marriage, but unexpectedly I met Chen Xi's eyes.

"It's you?"

Xie Tianyi still remembered the life-saving grace three years ago, so he recognized her at a glance.

"What do you want from me?" he asked.

Chen Xi put down the package in his hand and frankly stated the purpose of his trip, including severing ties with the Chen family. His words revealed his determination to end up on the streets if he was not allowed to stay overnight.

Xie Tianyi was caught in a dilemma for a moment. He had never expected that there would be a woman willing to marry him in his situation.

"Girl, you don't have to feel wronged because of the favor I gave you in the past. Your destiny should be determined by yourself." Xie Tianyi advised earnestly.

His expression was serious, even a little cold, and his words did not sound like consolation, but rather like a polite refusal.

"Do you look down on me because I'm an orphan? If you don't accept me, I will have nowhere to stay in the village. I just lost my parents and broke up with my relatives..."

As Chen Xi spoke, he couldn't help but confide his own experiences, his words were full of sadness.

Xie Tianyi hurriedly tried to comfort her: "No, it's because I'm not worthy of you. Look, my legs are broken, and I have two children to take care of. If you follow me, you will suffer a lot in the future."

Chen Xi burst into laughter. The fact that Xie Tianyi had such an idea was enough to prove that he was an upright person, far superior to those people in the village.

Besides, what’s the big deal about a leg injury?

She is a surgeon and can handle even the most difficult diseases with ease.

"I am not afraid of hardship. I like these two children from the bottom of my heart. They are so lovable!"

Chen Xi praised with a smile. The two little guys blushed when they heard it. They shyly snuggled up to Xie Tianyi and whispered softly, "Daddy, we like this sister so much."

Xie Tianyi was helpless. When he looked up again, his eyes flashed with determination: "Are you sure you want to marry me and won't regret it in the future?"

"I will never regret it!" Chen Xi said firmly.

"Okay, from now on, you are a member of the Xie family. Xie Tianyi swears here that he will protect you from any grievances and do his best to protect you."

Chen Xi smiled as beautiful as a flower. Is this the straight man’s love?

Although it was simple and direct, it made her feel comfortable.

"I believe you, I will stay here with peace of mind today. How is your house arranged?"

Chen Xi put down the items in his hands and began to look around carefully.

"There are two rooms plus a kitchen. Usually the kids share a bed with me." Xie Tianyi told the truth.

"Then let the child move to another room. Hey, there is something else I need to tell you. My brother was sold by the Chen family, but I have to find a way to bring him back. Maybe I have to live here then."

Chen Xi felt a little guilty. After all, she had just married into the Xie family and now had a family to support. She wondered if Xie Tianyi would have any objections.

But he smiled and said, "Of course we are married. Your family is my family."

Just because of these words, Chen Xi secretly swore in his heart that he would remember his kindness for the rest of his life.

"Okay!"

She turned around and was about to tidy up another room, but when she looked, she found that the room was quite tidy and could be lived in after a little tidying up.

"Is this room usually cleaned?"

Aren't empty houses supposed to be covered with dust? And there's no labor force in their family, so could Xie Tianyi have done it himself?

"The two kids swept the house themselves when they had nothing to do. They also do a lot of the housework."

When Xie Tianyi spoke, there was heartache in his voice.

The three-year-old kids are so sensible that they won’t go out to play even when you ask them to.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was the kids outside who called him "crippled" behind his back and used this to bully and make fun of them, so the kids didn't want to go out.

Chen Xi squatted down and pinched the two little guys' cheeks. He wanted to do this the first time he saw these two little balls.

"You are such sweet little girls, you know how to help daddy with the housework."

The two children became even more shy, their little faces turned red as if blood could seep out. They probably had never been praised like this before, which was why they reacted like this.

"Oh, it's almost time for dinner, I'll go cook."

Xie Tianyi wanted to stop him, but when he saw Chen Xi rolling up his sleeves and getting started, he swallowed the words back.

But when she entered the kitchen, Chen Xi realized that there were very few ingredients at home, just a few mushrooms and a handful of wild vegetables. She guessed that the children had picked them from the back mountain. She felt even more sorry for the two children.

At this moment, a robot-like voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

"Dear master, your points space has been activated. You can redeem your points for items you need."

Before he could finish his words, a transparent screen appeared in front of him. Various objects quickly slid by. He just said what he needed and it would freeze in an instant.

Chen Xi felt ecstatic, it seemed that God had allowed him to travel through time and space for some good reasons, this was the heroine's standard golden finger, he didn't expect that he would have it too.

"Then I'll exchange it for a spare rib." Chen Xi waved his hand generously, thinking about replenishing the bodies of Xie Tianyi and his two sons.

A cold, mechanical voice responded: "Not enough points to redeem."

Chen Xi: Hmm?

Only then did she notice the score display: only five points.

Five? Who should we send?

As if sensing her anger, the voice sounded again, "Master can accumulate points by curing patients. The amount of points depends on the difficulty of the disease."

Chen Xi accepted the fact and then checked what could be replaced. He found that he could only replace seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar?

Okay, Chen Xi accepted it. Some seasoning is better than no seasoning.

She washed the mushrooms and wild vegetables in water and decided to cook a pot of vegetarian soup.

There is no technical requirement involved. Just throw everything into the pot and cook it, then sprinkle it with seasoning, and add a little oyster sauce and pepper.

In an instant, the aroma filled the air. Even if it was just a vegetarian soup, it was a decent pot of vegetarian soup.

"Just bear with it for lunch and drink this. I'll think of ways to improve the food for dinner."

Xie Tianyi wondered: "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I have to go to the next village to pick up my brother. I don't know how he is now. You guys eat first. When you're done, put the dishes in the kitchen. I'll come back and wash them."

The last sentence was directed to the two children, but they refused it outright.
