Chapter 379: Chapter 380 Becoming His Little Woman_1

Nan Feng had already had a nap in the afternoon, and was not the least bit tired. However, the room was so quiet and Ye Ge’s snoring was like a lullaby, looped indefinitely, that she fell asleep after a short while.

Nan Feng felt that she had never slept so soundly and deeply, and she slept until daybreak the next day.

Ye Ge had already gone to work. There were dough sticks and bread on the table, she didn’t know when Ye Ge had left them there.

Nan Feng felt that perhaps she truly wasn’t qualified to be a special agent as her alertness wasn’t high enough, she didn’t even know when Ye Ge had woken up.

But his embrace was so warm and being by his side felt so safe, what did she need to be alert of?

It was enough for her to be the little woman by his side.

After getting enough sleep and having a good meal, it was time for Nan Feng to get back to work.

After the case of the missing girl in the city was solved, there were gradually more pedestrians on the streets, especially the young ladies who had been cooped up at home - some were walking, some were in sedans, and some were in carriages.

The business in Nan Feng’s shop had gradually gone from selling ten bottles a day to several tens of bottles now.

She was in constant demand, fortunately, Feng Gu was back.

But what was strange was that Feng Gu had been silent all day, looking quite depressed. Around noon, when there weren’t many people on the streets, Nan Feng asked Feng Gu: "What’s wrong with you?"

Feng Gu, who rarely received concern, confided in a low spirit as soon as Nan Feng asked: "Sister Nan Feng, I really don’t know what my father is thinking. I’m doing fine here with you, am I not? I eat and drink well each day and yes the work is hard, and you’ve already sent him silver. Even my daily meal funds go to him but he is still not satisfied. He said once five months are up, he wants me to ask you to borrow some wages in advance, to prepay him for the next five months. But I think that’s unreasonable. I’ve told my father, I won’t borrow money. He verbally slammed me, saying that my brother is having a hard time trying to get a wife and I, being able to help out, should do more. Then both my brother and sister-in-law joined in to yell at me."

Nan Feng said to Feng Gu: "Then you should just refuse."

"I refused, and my father said that he had wasted time raising me," Feng Gu continued, still looking sad.

"He even wanted to sell you off before, so what difference does it make whether he raised you or not?"

Seeing that Feng Gu was about to cry, Nan Feng comforted her again: "As long as you feel that you’re doing your best with the family matters, that would do. I don’t think I can help much with your family either. The wages will still be paid monthly, so there will be no more borrowing."

"I know, Sister Nan Feng, you’ve already treated me really well. I will handle the family matters and I definitely won’t cause you trouble," Feng Gu promised.

"It’s good that you understand."

...

A few days later, almost everyone in He and Ping County was headed to the execution field to watch the beheading of criminals. Not just those in the county town, but even people from the towns who knew about the news had come from afar to watch.

Nan Feng found this kind of ancient system peculiar. Why should capital punishments be public? She grew up watching bloody videos in the Special Agent School and was disgusted by such scenes of gore. Yet people today seemed to indulge in watching such things. What if a severed head rolled over to one’s feet, wouldn’t they have nightmares at night?

Feng Gu also invited Nan Feng to go watch. "Sister Nan Feng, those bad people are going to be beheaded. Won’t you go and watch?"

"I won’t go. Feng Gu, if you want to go, feel free," Nan Feng replied.
