Chapter 18
Lin Zaozao banged on the door forcefully, looking at the door that wouldn't open. Recalling the bed boards in her room that had broken in two, she banged even louder.
In short, she wasn't able to sleep well, so she wouldn't let him sleep either.
Ever since she transmigrated here, not only was she eating poorly, how could she let herself sleep poorly as well?
As Lin Zaozao grew increasingly angry, she banged on the door louder.
"Ji Fantian, I know you're awake. If you don't open the door, I'll smash it open right now. You better believe this fat body of mine, if I end up breaking your door, don't blame me!
I'm counting to three. If you still don't open the door, I'll smash it down directly. Did you hear me?"
Seeing Ji Fantian's room still without movement, Lin Zaozao swallowed her anger and started counting down.
"Three"
"Two"
"One"
"Ji Fantian, Granny here is going to smash down the door!"
Having said that, Lin Zaozao drew back her body, gritted her teeth, and charged fiercely at Ji Fantian's door.
At the instant she hit the door, it was suddenly opened from inside. Caught off guard, Lin Zaozao lost her balance and her plump body fell heavily to the ground.
Accompanied by a loud thud, Ji Fantian standing by the door couldn't help but mock the spreadeagled Lin Zaozao on the floor.
"Wife, what a great honour in the dead of night, receiving your grand gesture! I'm truly undeserving!"
"I...you..."
Lin Zaozao spat out the dirt in her mouth and struggled to get up from the floor, then turned to glare at Ji Fantian with his mocking smile.
Damn him, in the dead of night wearing pajamas yet acting all sanctimonious.
Or she could bash into his stomach too, flipping him onto his back.
Let's see if he can still maintain his sanctimonious act spread on the floor.
But looking at Ji Fantian's weak and feeble appearance, Lin Zaozao couldn't help sighing.
Oh well, real ladies don't fight with men.
Wouldn't want to accidentally bash him to death.
Although Canglan country treasures its women, no law states that a woman killing her husband is exempt from punishment.
Glancing at Ji Fantian, Lin Zaozao thought to herself, "Even if I can't best you, I can still torment you."
From her observations these two days, although uncertain why, her five husbands seemed rather afraid of her premature death. No matter what nonsense she causes tonight, this second husband surely won't lay hands on her.
Even if he wanted to, looking at those puny arms and legs he posed no real threat.
Thinking so, her highly strung heart settled.
So in front of Ji Fantian's mocking gaze, she ignored him. Right before his eyes, after dusting herself off, she clambered onto his bed and snuggled under his snow white blankets.
Hearing the creaking bed boards, Ji Fantian walked incredulously to the bedside and reached out to the sleeping Lin Zaozao.
How dare this fat woman sleep in his bed. Does she not know her whole body is still covered in dirt from falling to the ground?
Filled with anger, Ji Fantian reached out to grab Lin Zaozao and throw her off the bed.
But what he touched was smooth slick skin. In that short time he didn't hear Lin Zaozao undress, so how did she take off her clothes so quickly?
Or rather, this shameless woman did it on purpose! Just to disgust him.
Seeing Ji Fantian swiftly withdraw his hand from her shoulder, Lin Zaozao rolled her eyes.
This blind fool, paws sure know where to roam! Of all places why her exposed shoulder.
Usually acting all dignified and gentlemanly, but just a lecher at heart, even making moves on her despite being so fat and ugly.
Truly a pervert beyond saving.
Just as Lin Zaozao was berating him in her mind, Ji Fantian actually took out a handkerchief and fastidiously wiped his fingers, as if he didn't just touch Lin Zaozao's shoulder but a pile of shit instead.
Damn him, this is intolerable! When intolerable, no need to endure further.
Lin Zaozao slammed the bed board and sat up pointing at Ji Fantian, yelling loudly.
"Ji Fantian! I don't even mind marrying a blind man like you, yet you actually dare look down on me?
I generously let you grope my soft smooth slippery body and don't even call you a pervert. Yet you still wipe your dog paws in disgust.
And you touched me first, I didn't guide your hand onto me."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's angry voice, Ji Fantian froze his hand wiping motion and turned to coldly say.
"Lin Zaozao, it's three in the morning. I don't want to argue with you. Get out of my room immediately."
"Sorry, if one is to roll, you roll. Granny here ain't budging. Or could you demonstrate a roll for me to learn?"
Lin Zaozao retorted impatiently.
"If you still don't get out, I'll throw you out right now."
"If you dare throw me, I'll shriek at the top of my lungs. My shrieks will bring everyone from the village here as witness that you refused to share a room with me. Then I can rightfully divorce you. After all Canglan laws state that if a husband refuses his wife the marriage bed, the wife has grounds for divorce."
Lin Zaozao's words made Ji Fantian's hand wiping motion freeze. Recalling he still needed this wretched fat woman's help with some matters, he had no choice but to reluctantly lower his hand.
Sighing helplessly, Ji Fantian softened his tone and coaxed in a placating manner.
"Lin Zaozao, I know your purpose in coming here isn't to share my bed. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Nothing much, just that I broke my bed boards and have nowhere to sleep. So..."
Before Lin Zaozao could finish, Ji Fantian already guessed what she wanted to say next.
"Lin Zaozao, didn't Ruo Qiu already help replace your bed boards at noon today? Did your bed really collapse?"
Ji Fantian's words made Lin Zaozao freeze up. She knew it! The one remaining board actually turned into a tattered grass mat.
Stiffening her neck, Lin Zaozao stared at Ji Fantian and said, "If you don't believe me, feel free to go inspect it yourself! I've got no place to sleep tonight, so can only lower myself to stay here one night."
"No. Lin Zaozao, you can look for others, just not my place." Ji Fantian rejected coldly.
"And where can I go? If you can find me a place to sleep, I'll leave immediately."
Lin Zaozao's words rendered Ji Fantian speechless. With such backwards conditions here, there were no extra guest rooms to spare. And he certainly couldn't invite trouble by directing Lin Zaozao to Ye Yi and the other's rooms!
Moreover with their temperaments, if one of them lost control and slapped this fat woman to death, it would only make things more troublesome.
Now was a precarious time, they really couldn't risk further incidents.
