Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Mrs. Peng: Treat Her Like an Ancestor
"Silly wife, do you think these things are really that easy to get?"
Yuan Laidi hugged his wife and sighed, "These are, in fact, money to buy a life."
"My dear?!"
Upon hearing Yuan Laidi’s words "money to buy a life," Mrs. Peng was completely panicked.
Compared to this money, she hoped more that her husband would be alright.
Money can be earned slowly and spent as needed.
"Can we return the money, is it possible?"
Mrs. Peng grasped Yuan Laidi’s arm tightly, "I don’t want the money anymore, I only want you to be okay!"
"Silly wife, these kinds of things are non-refundable."
"Don’t worry, my brother and I are together now, and we’re both Centurions. As long as we don’t get trapped, there won’t be any major danger!"
Yuan Laidi actually wanted to withdraw from the army as well.
But he understood, from the moment he chose to join the army, leaving meant either he was dead or disabled. Or perhaps Daxia would sweep across the land, and they would retire with honor.
However, it was obvious that retiring with honor was undoubtedly the hardest.
If they brothers could really hold on until then, at least they could be granted titles and protection for their children.
It’s just that the time for that is too far away.
"Wife, you have to believe in your man!"
"Besides, our family’s luck is quite good now, with Jiaojiao, the lucky girl, bringing us fortune. My brother and I will only suffer minor injuries, but our lives can be guaranteed!"
Saying this, Yuan Laidi told Mrs. Peng about many things in the army with Yuan Wangdi.
They could achieve so many battle honors and receive so many rewards, which truly came from their ventures through many deadly trials, time and again on the brink of hell.
Among those who set out with them, many died, many were wounded, yet only their brothers always emerged safely from danger.
Even the terrifying scar on Yuan Laidi’s chest, if it weren’t for his good fortune, that cut could have disemboweled him.
At that time, a deputy of Great Yin launched a sneak attack on him, but just as the opponent’s knife cut across his chest, Wei Shifeng’s arrow shot perfectly and knocked the opponent away.
If not for Wei Shifeng’s timely arrow, Yuan Laidi wouldn’t have survived.
In fact, there were several other times they escaped death narrowly.
For instance, during one march when they were ambushed, rolling logs and stones came whistling at them; many were struck, yet Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi seemed to have divine protection—they never got hit once.
"Wife, be good to Jiaojiao in the future!"
"I will!"
"I treat her like my dear daughter, no, like a goddess!"
Listening to Yuan Laidi’s tales of bizarre experiences, Mrs. Peng had made up her mind to treat Yuan Bao well.
Mrs. Xiao Li didn’t believe her daughter was special, but Mrs. Peng did.
After all, it was hard not to believe with wild boars delivering presents and eagles bringing gifts.
Speaking of Yuan Bao, Mrs. Peng didn’t understand why Mrs. Xiao Li was so harsh to her own daughter.
"Dear, what do you think of our sister-in-law’s thoughts?"
"Don’t worry about her thoughts, even the fourth brother isn’t concerned, so neither should you," Yuan Laidi waved his hand. "Some people always think they’re right, won’t listen to advice. You advise her, she might not appreciate it, might even blame you for meddling."
"I understand!"
Mrs. Peng fell silent instantly.
Because Yuan Laidi was right.
About Yuan Bao, Mrs. Peng had privately advised Mrs. Xiao Li, but Mrs. Xiao Li didn’t appreciate it, even blamed her for meddling.
