As someone who was obsessed with looks, Scarlett had collected many handsome men in her previous life, but she had never seen one ….. No, it would be more accurate to say that all the handsome men added together couldn't compare to the one in front of her.
This person had a very clean face, and the corners of his eyes and brows were exquisite like jade carvings. His eyes were very cold, like a bottomless cold lake.
His face was sickly pale, but there was a trace of red on his face due to embarrassment, making him look even more attractive.
Then there was his age. Rather than calling him a man, Scarlett felt that he was more suitable as a young man.
"Have you seen enough?" Ethan Roy asked through gritted teeth.
"I haven't seen enough, but ….." Scarlett looked over his body and narrowed her charming eyes, "I'm afraid I'll crush you."
After saying this, Scarlett began to move.
Even though she had gotten up, her eyes were still glued to his body, rolling around meaningfully.
"Scarlett, you ….." Ethan became angry from her gaze.
Scarlett reached out her hand with a smile, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need!" Ethan's expression was cold as he leaned to the side and stood up with the help of a chair. Then he ignored Scarlett and limped out of the room.
Scarlett finally remembered who he was. It was the previous host's husband, Ethan Roy.
Ethan had been picked up by Scarlett. After he woke up, the Bell Family asked about his situation and found that he was an orphan with nowhere to go. They made a prompt decision to force Ethan to marry Scarlett, saying that men and women shouldn't touch each other. My daughter saved your life, so why don't the two of you get married to save her reputation?
Although it was called marriage, it was more like marrying into the family. The shabby house they were living in was given by the Bell Family and the land they farmed was also given by the Bell Family. This wasn't because the Bell Family was benevolent, but because they wanted to smoothly get rid of Scarlett, this little jinx, and not give others a reason to gossip.
When Scarlett got married, she didn't know that Ethan was a cripple. After she found out, she began to dislike him and turned her head to be infatuated with the town's little young Master Rio.
This matter was known by everyone.Ethan also heard about it, but he didn't get angry at the previous host. The villagers all felt injustice for Ethan, saying that it was a flower stuck in cow dung. Ethan was the flower and the cow dung was her.
No wonder Ethan turned a blind eye to her sorry state. The relationship between the two of them was like fire and water.
Scarlett opened the closet door and planned to change her wet clothes. Then she tore off a piece of cloth to bandage her wound. Sadly, she found that there wasn't a single clean piece of clothing in the closet.
Scarlett was thinking about whether or not she should go next door and borrow some cloth from her cheap husband. Suddenly, she heard a delicate voice from outside the door: "Big Brother Ethan, are you there?"
Scarlett walked out of the room and saw a small woman wearing a large purple flowery coat. The small woman's hair was combed into a shiny bun and she was wearing makeup. In her arms was a basket. The basket was covered with a flowery cloth, so people couldn't see what was inside.
Scarlett quickly found this person from the previous host's memories. It was the young widow of Rock Village, Emily.
Emily was their neighbor. She usually liked to go to their house when the previous host wasn't there. Occasionally, the previous host would bump into her a few times. The previous host was stupid and suffered a lot under the hands of Emily.
"Oh, isn't this Emily sister-in-law? What are you doing in my house in the middle of the day? "Scarlett walked out with wet clothes and a head full of blood.
Emily was startled. After a while, she recognized that it was Scarlett. She said with disappointment: "Why are you here?"
Scarlett smiled and knocked on the door: "This is my house. Is it strange to see me? What are you disappointed about? "
Emily don't know how to respond this question. She was obviously disappointed that she didn't see Ethan.
Emily looked at Scarlett again. This person was still the same person, but she looked a little strange. She was not as wooden as before. Her eyes were full of spirit. Even if her body was wet, she didn't make people feel that she was in a sorry state. Instead, there was an invisible aura around her.
She must be seeing things. How could a fool change?
Emily raised her chin and said: "I'm here to look for Big Brother Ethan!"
Scarlett smiled faintly: "How old are you? You're still calling him Big Brother? I think it's more appropriate to call you Big Aunt. "
"You!" Emily was angry. Of course, she wasn't old. Compared to Scarlett, she was a few years older.
"Get out of the way!" Emily was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"What if I don't get out of the way?"Scarlett blocked her.
Emily didn't put Scarlett in her eyes at all. She raised her hand and pushed towards Scarlett.
Scarlett smiled coldly. She grab Emily's wrist and pulled Emily to the ground.
Emily fell flat on her face along with the basket. She even lost one of her front teeth.
"Ouch!"
Scarlett shook her head. This small body was really weak. If it was in her previous life, even the agents at the base would lose half their lives from her fall. But now, this shrew only lost one of her front teeth. It was really like going back to before liberation. Even her combat strength had been reset.
While Scarlett was dissatisfied with her fighting strength, she didn't know that Emily was in so much pain that tears were coming out of her eyes. This little fool, when did she become so strong? Look at how she fell, even her bones were about to shatter!
At this moment, Ethan walked out with a cold expression.
Emily saw him, as if she had seen her savior. She cried loudly: "Big Brother Ethan, she bullied me!"
Scarlett said unscrupulously: "So what if I bullied you? If you dare to come to my house again, I'll beat you up every time I see you! "
Emily felt wronged: "Big Brother Ethan!"
"Emily, why are you here?" Ethan interrupted her.
Emily was stunned: "Ah? I … that … last time you helped me read the letter. I haven't thanked you properly yet. Didn't you run out of food at home? I dug up a few sweet potatoes and brought them to you. "
As she spoke, she went to look for the basket that fell on the ground with her.
Ethan said: "No need, Emily. There's still some food at home. So you can take it back and eat it yourself."
Emily bit her lip: "But …"
"He told you to take it back, didn't you hear him?" Scarlett picked up the basket and fiercely stuffed it back into Emily's arms.
Emily was angry: "You …"
"Do you want to eat my fist again?"Scarlett sneered.
Emily was afraid that this fool would go crazy again. She looked at Ethan, hoping that Ethan would do something. However, she saw that Ethan didn't have any intention taking stand for her. She angrily stomped her feet and left with the basket.
Scarlett looked at her cheap husband with a smile: "I didn't know that a little cripple like you would be so popular with women."
Ethan glanced at Scarlett indifferently, then went back to his house with his crutch.[AN: "Crutch" means a long stick with a crosspiece at the top, used as a support under the armpit by a person with an injury or disability]
"Hiss …"
Her wound hurt again.
Scarlett held her head and went back to her house.
She sat on a stool and touched her wound. It was a big cut. Although it wasn't too deep, if it wasn't treated in time, it would most likely get infected. But this was ancient times, where would she get those antibiotics medicine?
"If only my medicine box was still here."
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Scarlett felt a sharp pain in her head. This time, it was so intense that she fainted.
When she woke up, she saw that there was an extra box on the table in front of her...
