The Two Hundred and Eighty Pound Fat Girl and Her Five Husbands
Chapter 113: The Talk
Chapter 113
“I’ll go first since this was my idea. Remember, if I have something that you guys don’t, you have to drink!”
Facing Ye Yi and the others, Lin Zaozao squinted her eyes and said loudly, “Everyone, I once weighed close to 400 jin. Has anyone here experienced that? If you haven’t, drink up. If you have, you don’t need to drink.”
As soon as Lin Zaozao finished speaking, Gu Shan helplessly laughed and lifted his cup to drink it all down.
“Since none of you have, I’ll keep going. Once, while trying to rescue a cat that climbed up a tree, I had just climbed up when the cat glanced at me and somehow climbed down itself. But I got stuck in the tree. Have any of you had a similarly embarrassing experience?”
Holding her cup, Lin Zaozao asked proudly.
“Sis, does saving people count?”
Lin Wuwu asked weakly.
“It counts, of course it counts.” Lin Zaozao affirmed decisively.
“Sis, Wanwan and I once saved some kids who got stuck in a tree. We brought a ladder and climbed up to rescue them. But after they climbed down, they took away our ladder. Since we were afraid of heights, Wanwan and I were stuck in the tree for a full two days.”
Lin Wuwu’s calm words made Lin Zaozao’s eyebrows furrow intensely.
What kind of nasty kids could do something so shameful? Even if children don’t know better, what about their parents? How could they just abandon Wuwu and Wanwan stuck in the tree?
But when Lin Zaozao met the smiling golden-blue eyes of Wuwu and Wanwan, she forced a smile. Picking up a cup from the table, she drank it all down.
“Since Sis doesn’t have a story, I guess it’s our turn now.” Lin Wuwu said proudly.
“Alright! Since everyone’s had a drink, it’s Wuwu’s turn.” Lin Zaozao said, barely keeping the smile on her face.
“We once fought with the Wolf King over food. Have any of you?”
As soon as Lin Wuwu finished speaking, everyone picked up their cups and drank.
“We’ve eaten buns with human blood in them. Have any of you eaten that?”
Lin Wanwan asked arrogantly.
“I have. And I’ve even eaten human flesh. Have either of you two eaten that?”
As soon as Gu Shan finished speaking, Lin Zaozao whipped her head around to look at his calm face. The dull pain in her heart made it hard for her to breathe.
“Zaozao, if you haven’t, you should drink.”
“Alright, I’ll drink.”
Seeing Lin Zaozao drink, Gu Shan continued, “I’ve killed countless people. Has anyone here done the same?”
“I have! No matter how many people you’ve killed, Gu Shan, it can’t be more than me. I, Murong Hai, have killed at least 9,000 people on the battlefield.” Murong Hai said coldly.
“Murong Hai, on this point, I admit defeat. I’ll drink.”
Gu Shan picked up his cup and drank it all.
“For the greater cause I believed in, I once pointed my blade at innocent commoners. Has anyone here done the same?” Murong Hai said self-mockingly.
“I have. Murong Hai, for the greater cause I believed in, just a light sentence from me caused countless injuries and deaths, leaving me with endless regret.” Ye Yi said hoarsely with a sigh.
“Ye Yi, you win this round.”
Murong Hai picked up his cup and showed it was empty after drinking.
“Everyone, when faced with a life-or-death decision regarding my own kin, I was able to make a clean choice. Has anyone experienced this?” Ye Yi said self-mockingly.
“I have. Ye Yi, when my closest one fell before me, I fled like a coward, all for the ‘greater cause’ my master spoke of.”
Regardless of whether he had won or not, Ji Fantian drank a cup and continued,
“I, Ji Fantian, loyally served one person. But because of a casual remark from her, I destroyed the centuries of legacy of the Divine Doctor’s lineage. Has anyone suffered such humiliation?”
“Fantian, I have. Gifted from a young age, before I even turned 12 I was managing tens of thousands of homes and properties: calling it a daily fortune would not be an exaggeration.
Yet because those above coveted my looks, they said that since I could not bear children, I could not inherit the position of family head. So they shamed my face for no reason at all.
I went from a noble young master of high status to a laughing stock abandoned by the family. Has anyone suffered a similar plight?”
“Qiu, our plights are quite similar. Come, let’s drink to that.”
Ye Yi raised his cup to clink with Ruo Qiu’s.
“No one else, huh? Then I’ll keep going.”
After drinking a cup, Lin Wuwu directly grabbed Lin Wanwan’s hand and loudly declared,
“Just because Wanwan and I were good-looking with golden-blue heterochromia, we were sold off to brothels as child prostitutes three times. Tell me, is there anyone more unfortunate than the two of us?”
“There is. I was drugged by my own mother, then directly sent to a woman’s bed just to get a verbal promise. Isn’t that shameful?”
Ruo Qiu said with a bitter laugh while drinking.
“Shameful! But I’ve got an even funnier story, do you guys want to hear it?” Murong Hai asked loudly.
“Yes, yes! Quick, tell us!”
“On the battlefield, just because of some clueless envoy, nearly a thousand warriors of the Murong clan were injured or killed. But because she was an envoy, we didn’t dare kill her and had to politely escort her away. Tell me, isn’t that pathetic?”
“Hahaha, Murong Hai, you guys are super pathetic!” Xiao Taohua said with a wry smile.
“Let me share my story. Before I left my master, he would feed me nothing but extremely toxic substances. My body was constantly attacked by poisons in order to build immunity until I finally attained full poison immunity.
The first time I ate normal food after leaving my master, I found it nauseating and disgusting. I threw up for half the day. Isn’t that embarrassing?” Xiao Taohua said with an awkward laugh.
“Hahaha......”
“......”
As Lin Zaozao listened to the sounds of Murong Hai and the others chatting and mocking themselves, tears had long since soaked her cheeks.
She knew her husbands all had their own troubles, but she’d never imagined the things they carried in their hearts were so tragic.
Hearing them recount these things as jokes now, Lin Zaozao only felt endless sorrow.
She had originally wanted to lighten the mood of their farewell gathering, to avoid making the parting too sorrowful.
But now, although Murong Hai and the others were laughing, their laughter sounded more agonizing than weeping.
As Lin Zaozao listened to the sounds of her husbands mocking themselves, all she could do was drink cup after cup.
At this moment, grief and powerlessness swept over her.
She was just an ordinary cross-over. She had no profound learning and no special talents.
From their conversation, she also knew the enemies they would face were no small fry. But what could she do to protect them?
As Lin Zaozao watched her husbands continuously recounting their embarrassing moments through teary eyes, a thought she’d never had before gradually rose in her mind.
They were her Lin Zaozao’s husbands, so she should also do what she could for them.
