Married to a Disabled Man in the 70's

(Epilogue Chappie 9.1)

As Ji Xuan played it safe, she had expanded her business and brought Xi Shu into the fold.

Su Jiaojiao didn’t know how the two of them started working together, but she felt relieved now they had. Xi Shu has the female lead’s halo [1], so nothing should happen.

Cooking really was the ideal business for them. Xi Shu and Su Jiaojiao both have good cooking skills, and they were like fishes in water with the help of Song Qinghan.

Su Jiaojiao didn’t know how Song Qinghan was like in the book [2], but here, Song Qinghan is much better than Su Jiaojiao at business.

Su Jiaojiao wasn’t willing to let him do many things because they were too dangerous.

However, the two often travelled between the city and the village, and they could always get some goods. No one even batted an eye. As Song Qinghan didn’t have to work anymore, he accompanied Su Jiaojiao on the train southward, reselling things to both sides. He was responsible for picking up the goods, Ji Xuan was in charge of sales, and Su Jiaojiao kept the money.

Su Jiaojiao, who always felt that she hadn’t done anything, mentally knelt towards the capable Song Qinghan.

As life became more stable, Su Jiaojiao began to think about losing weight.

Because she has gained a lot of it!

Due to the matchmaker system, she could get a small treat every day, and occasionally she buys snacks for herself!

It is impossible for her to not gain weight after eating these high-calorie foods. After all, the things from the matchmaker system are not illusions and are all real.

And as Su Jiaojiao thought about it, the matchmaker system came out with a task: [Ding! Task 25: Exercise is good for weight loss. Please let your husband say to you, “I love you, my wife”, five times every day for half a month. Reward: you can get magical weight loss capsules!]

Su Jiaojiao looked at this task in surprise, about to be happy, but suddenly realized one thing. “Didn’t you tell me that you were going to leave last time? It’s been half a year, why haven’t you left yet?”

As soon as she said this, her mind was quiet. Even the translucent display screen disappeared like it had never appeared before.

Su Jiaojiao sneered, “You dare lie to me?”

The matchmaker’s system said weakly: [I really have to separate from you, but…not that kind of separation. I have enough energy to manifest a physical body…]

Su Jiaojiao was taken aback.

The matchmaker system felt danger and quickly added: [Host, I really thought I was leaving you, but who knows it was just evolution…I didn’t deliberately deceive you…]

Su Jiaojiao shook her head as she listened to the immature crying in his mind, “Forget it, forget it. When will your physical body manifest?”

[In twenty days.] The matchmaker said sadly, as if it was wiping its tears.

Su Jiaojiao was very curious, “What does it look like?”

The matchmaker’s system said milkily: [I don’t know! The boss said they look like the host’s favourite image in her subconscious mind.]

Su Jiaojiao was confused.

Her subconscious?

So, what would it look like?

The matchmaker system smiled flatteringly: [Host, now I have evolved, I can do a lot more things. I can even guide you to lose weight…]

“Jiaojiao.”

As the two were talking, a voice intervened. [3]

The matchmaker system hurriedly shut up.

Su Jiaojiao looked over and saw Song Qinghan coming back from outside. Spring has come and left. In early summer, it was a bit hot, but the heat was tolerable at home. It even felt a little cool in the house.

Song Qinghan was sweating profusely, and he was sweaty and warm.

Su Jiaojiao immediately took a towel and wiped his sweat with distress. Se asked, “Did it go well today?”

“It went well.” Song Qinghan smiled and said, “What are you thinking about?”

The door of the room was open, and Su Jiaojiao was sitting at the desk with a thoughtful look, which was why he immediately asked.

Su Jiaojiao remembered what she was upset about just then, and squeezed her fleshy cheeks, and said in frustration: “I’m gaining weight!”

“Yeah.” Song Qinghan nodded, and the corners of his lips curled up, with laughter in her voice. As long as he was facing her, he could always laugh.

Su Jiaojiao narrowed her mouth, “I want to lose weight. I’ll become ugly if I’m fat.”

Although her facial features have always been good, and she wouldn’t be too ugly if she was fat, she would definitely be less beautiful.

Song Qinghan immediately shook his head, “You’re not ugly.” After finishing speaking, he felt that it was not enough, so he leaned over to hug her and said softly, “You’re not ugly at all.”

When sleeping at night, it was like he was hugging a bunch of fragrant cotton. So he looked forward to going to sleep at night, especially since there isn’t any entertainment. Many people preferred to chat with friends and brothers outside, but he went back home before sundown every day. This made the others laugh at him.

Su Jiaojiao blushed and squeezed her belly again, saying aggrievedly, “Last time I went back to the Su family, my mother thought I was pregnant!”

She wasn’t that fat. She had only gained a few kilograms, but because she was too lazy to move, there was a mass of meat in her lower abdomen. It could be seen when she was wearing tighter clothes.

Sun Fang saw it and thought she was pregnant.

The two of them didn’t tell their elders about being on the pill. After all, Su Jiaojiao couldn’t explain how she knew how to make the contraceptive diet.

Song Qinghan cooperated with her too. Su Jiaojiao suspected that he knew all her secrets but never said them out loud.

After the two were officially together, she asked Song Qinghan to drink contraceptives, and he accepted it calmly. He didn’t pressure her at all.

Sometimes she was greedy and ate snacks, and there was a smell in the room. All he did was silently open the window.

Su Jiaojiao felt like he must have figured it out, but she didn’t ask.

Facing his wife’s complaints, Song Qinghan hugged her and let her sit in his arms. Then, he said softly, “You’re not fat. But if you feel uncomfortable, you should lose weight.”

If she was only worried because of herself, Song Qinghan would disapprove of it, but he understood as she was afraid of being judged by others.

Su Jiaojiao smiled and looked at him, “Aside from dieting, what else can I do?”

“I will take you to exercise.” Song Qinghan said decisively.

Su Jiaojiao immediately made a bitter face, she doesn’t like sports!

But when she completes the task, she can get the weight loss pills produced by the system. The weight loss may be too fast then, and she has to start losing weight quickly so that the abnormality is not obvious.

So after a short hesitation, Su Jiaojiao nodded decisively, “Okay!”

Song Qinghan smiled.
