The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Chapter 37: First Intimate Contact

Translator: Lonelytree

On a large pine tree, a eight-year-old looking girl with a ponytail was sitting on a tall branch. Her legs dangled and swayed in boredom.

She was holding a thick branch in one hand and a vine that was as thick as an adult’s finger in the other. The vine twirled a few times and had two green leaves.

Her eyes were round, big, and bright. She looked at the busy man under the tree and ordered, “There’s a big one there. There’s another one under the tallest fern. That’s a poisonous one that can’t be eaten. How many times do you need me to tell you? The colorful or dark and purple mushrooms are poisonous. Don’t pick them. Throw that one away...”

Ever since Jiang Zhennan entered the battlefield at the age of ten, he had to employ a vicious and cruel way of living to survive on the battlefield. When he was pushed out as a shield by his comrade, he did not hesitate to haul his comrade back out. His life was no less important than that of his comrades, so why should he be a meatshield for others?

The soldiers mocked him for not having much strength and that he’d save them some time for committing suicide at the base so that they wouldn’t have to waste time finding and collecting his corpse.

He was so angry that he knocked down all the soldiers present. He even mercilessly beat up the person who mocked him the most.

From then on, no one dared to mock him anymore.

From the age of ten to eighteen, he slowly climbed up to the position of a general with his own strength and strategic talent.

Eighteen years old was still a very young age. Therefore, when he became a general at 18 with great achievements, many people under him were unconvinced.

The way they showed their dissatisfaction was by disobeying Jiang Zhennan’s orders.

Jiang Zhennan immediately captured the deputy general and had him beheaded for the crime of violating the general’s orders. The beheading was shown before the whole army. The head was hung at the entrance of the barracks for three days and three nights.

This happened in the summer when the weather was hot. There were many mosquitoes. The head was infested by maggots. When the soldiers walked past it, their scalps went numb.

Jiang Zhennan was cruel and vicious, and it scared every soldier. After all, the man beheaded a vice general who was only one rank lower than him. What about the normal soldiers?

Just like that, Jiang Zhennan established his prestige among the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

As for those officers who still had rebellious thoughts, their bodies trembled with lingering fear.

On the surface, they served Jiang Zhennan. In his back, they kept making moves. Jiang Zhennan knew about it, but as long as they didn’t affect the battle plan, he would pretend not to notice.

Ever since Jiang Zhennan became the general, he had won every battle. Eventually, he gained the name of God General.

At that moment, the legendary God General was bending over, holding a cloth bag and rummaging through the ferns. He was picking the mushrooms one by one. But the mushrooms were so difficult to find.

The edible mushrooms had the same color as the soil. His eyesight was good, but the mushrooms still hid very well from him. He had to climb up and low to look for them.

However, Jiang Zhennan appeared to be exceptionally patient. Wherever Lin Yuelan pointed, he would go there and look for the mushrooms. He quite enjoyed this.

Of course, he did not realize that he was happy.

“Hey, Uncle, how many mushrooms have you picked up already?” Lin Yuelan asked as she sat on a branch.

Jiang Zhennan’s hand that was picking up the mushrooms paused. He was too happy picking up the mushrooms that he lost count. The God General looked at the girl in the tree like a child who had done wrong.

‘Am I the child here, or is he?’

After a moment, Lin Yuelan waved her hand and said, “Forget it. I forgot to count the mushrooms too.”

The eyes under the mask looked at her at a loss.

Lin Yuelan was slightly stunned. Then, the corner of her mouth could not help but twitch.

“I’ll give you the extra mushroom for free. Consider it payment for helping me with the mushroom-picking.”

Then, she jumped down from the three-meter-tall tree branch. Jiang Zhennan, who was below, saw this and shivered. He immediately threw the things in his hands away and reached out his hands to catch Lin Yuelan.

Lin Yuelan was completely stunned.

She was in Jiang Zhennan’s arms. She looked at the man in the mask with confusion. ‘I was just jumping down from the tree. Why was this man so nervous?’

She had fought for five years in the post-apocalyptic world. This height was nothing to her. He didn’t need to be so nervous.

Lin Yuelan looked at Jiang Zhennan with confusion and asked, “Uncle, what are you doing?”

Jiang Zhennan had been labeled as the Ultimate Jinx since he was young. His family loathed him and viewed him as an ominous person. Outsiders were even more fearful and fearful of him. After he joined the army, he was even known for his ruthlessness and viciousness.

He had gone from an ordinary soldier to a general step by step. Most people respected and feared him, but no one was able to get close to him. It was not until very late in his career that he met his current troops. Guo Bing and the rest could joke with him.

In short, Jiang Zhennan had been alone since he was young. He had never been close to anyone.

Since he was disfigured and became God General, he became a demon in people’s minds and a tool to stop children from crying.

He had never carried a warm and soft woman in his arms before. This was the first time he had that experience.

When Lin Yuelan fell into his embrace, his heart began to pound.
