70s Delicate Girl: A Guide to Being a Rich Woman
Chapter 458: Lin Zhengze’s Worries
Yin Yang took a careful look at Xu Mumu’s hand, and seeing that there was indeed no issue, he felt a bit relieved.
Yin Yang was a bit worried. His wife’s strength seemed to have genuinely increased significantly. How did it increase?
Yin Yang couldn’t make sense of it, just as Xu Mumu couldn’t. Mutants could absorb zombie crystal cores to enhance their own strength, but in this era, many people can’t even get enough to eat, and there are no zombies around now, where could she get crystal cores to absorb?
She was already satisfied to have brought back the strength from her previous life, but she didn’t expect it could further increase. It was truly amazing. She found studying these superpowers to be even more interesting than fussing over things in the lab.
Soon, a larger marble slab was moved into the courtyard, which the two of them could barely carry, until Xu Mumu lent a hand.
She punched the marble, which was much larger and sturdier than the previous one.
Xu Mumu focused her energy and then exerted all her strength.
The stone developed cracks again, and Xu Mumu’s hand hurt a bit. She roughly gauged her own strength.
"Does your hand hurt?" Yin Yang looked at Xu Mumu with concern. Her hand was quite red but thankfully not skinned.
"A little, but it’s alright, doesn’t hurt much." Xu Mumu shook her head with a smile. Although she didn’t know why her strength increased, having more strength had its advantages; at least no one dared to mess with her.
"You go buy some ointment." Yin Yang said to Lin Zhengze.
"Got it." Lin Zhengze nodded and gave Xu Mumu a deep look. With Yin Family’s lady being so formidable, he wondered how the boss handled things privately. If Xu Mumu was in a bad mood or the boss irritated her, would she hit him? The boss’s build wasn’t as tough as marble.
Lin Zhengze worriedly went to buy medication for bruises, starting to fret about the boss’s future life.
Yin Yang didn’t know Lin Zhengze’s thoughts. He was presently heartbroken, looking at Xu Mumu’s hand. Her hands, well-kept and soft, now had injuries. If he had known, he wouldn’t have let Xu Mumu test them.
"It really doesn’t hurt much; it’s just a bit red. It’ll completely heal in a couple of days." Xu Mumu said with amusement, seeing Yin Yang’s concern. With superpower enhancing her body, as her strength grows, her body only gets better. The little redness was likely to be gone by tomorrow, not needing Lin Zhengze to buy medicine at all.
"Should have prepared some medicinal wine at home. I’ll have someone brew some in the coming days." Yin Yang stated earnestly, a fall, or bruise, can heal quicker with medicinal wine.
Lin Zhengze was quick; within ten minutes, he brought back a tube of ointment.
Yin Yang carefully took the ointment and applied it on Xu Mumu.
Xu Mumu’s body was indeed strong; her hand was already much less red than before.
Even Yin Yang felt astonished; if he hadn’t seen how red her hand was earlier, Xu Mumu’s hand had already improved greatly.
Nonetheless, he cautiously applied the ointment, speeding up recovery.
Once the ointment was applied, Yin Yang and Lin Zhengze tidied up the courtyard, clearing the rubble; the marble was shattered into several pieces.
While cleaning, Lin Zhengze couldn’t help but marvel again at Xu Mumu’s immense strength.
Then Lin Zhengze cautiously approached Yin Yang, "Boss, you haven’t angered your wife, right?"
"Why would I upset Mumu?" Yin Yang looked at Lin Zhengze curiously, had he done anything recently to make Xu Mumu unhappy? After recalling, it seemed not; he continuously maintained distance from female coworkers, even having men work around him, and lately spent a lot of time playing with Mumu.
"You definitely shouldn’t anger your wife, or what if she hits you? Given her immense strength, I worry you won’t withstand it." Lin Zhengze patted Yin Yang’s shoulder.
Yin Yang frowned, glaring at Lin Zhengze, feeling confident in their good relationship. He found it unlikely he’d upset Mumu; besides, Mumu wasn’t someone who hit others casually.
The courtyard was tidied up, looking clean once more.
After sending off Lin Zhengze, Xu Mumu peeled an apple for Yin Yang as soon as he entered the house, "Your little brother sure cares about you, huh?" Xu Mumu grinned looking at Yin Yang, amused by how much Lin Zhengze seemed to overthink.
"Don’t mind him. Mumu, I would never anger you." Yin Yang happily ate the peeled apple, indeed tasting sweeter, truly delicious.
"Hmm, if you do upset me, I’ll treat you like that marble slab and punch." Xu Mumu smirked, watching Yin Yang.
"Would you really? What if you kill me? Then no one would cheer you up or take you around to play." Yin Yang sliced a small piece of apple and fed it to Xu Mumu, smiling.
"I wouldn’t really want to." Xu Mumu laughed, rare to find someone so in agreement, surely couldn’t kill him.
After some tenderness, Xu Mumu packed for class in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, back at the provincial city, Xu Jiang and Xu Po went to help with moving belongings. Initially, they thought it would be just some luggage and snacks, but the amount surprised them.
Looking at the bags, the brothers were momentarily stunned; so much?!!
"Why so many things; did you spend all the money you brought?" Xu Po worriedly looked at his own daughter, frankly not wanting her to develop a lavish spending habit.
"I spent it all, but I earned quite a bit, Dad. Let’s go home quickly, I want to see Mom." Xu Jiaojiao said excitedly.
"Alright, alright." Xu Po nodded; earlier, he learned from his daughter’s teacher that she won another award. As his mother understood, these awards typically have prize money.
The brothers struggled to lug the items back, first delivering Xu Minglei home with his belongings.
After handing off Xu Minglei’s items, Xu Jiaojiao still had many things purchased, and the two persisted in getting them home.
Sun Huiping was now pregnant and not working, doing simple tasks at home, tidying up, laundry, cooking, those sorts.
Seeing her daughter return, she was very delighted.
Now Xu Tao was still in class, and just Sun Huiping and Qian Ying were home, making it quite peaceful.
"Mom, is it a brother or sister you’re expecting? I want a sister; please have a sister!" Xu Jiaojiao said excitedly.
