Chapter 183: I can't do it?

Chen Wuji was tired.

Even his head was buzzing, a situation that had never occurred before.

At that moment, Chen Wuji lay on the heated brick bed, looking up at the still-dark ceiling, even wondering if he had already started to decline.

Today, he was fair, everyone got a share.

Such things, he and Qin Zhanhong had done plenty of.

One person's three-in-a-row and each person once, logically there should be no difference.

But how could the resulting consequences be so severe?

Chen Wuji didn't quite understand.

After thinking it over, Chen Wuji came up with a possibility: he had been exhausted last night.

It must have been from exhaustion last night.

It had to be from exhaustion last night!

At his youthful vigor, how could he possibly be knocked down by just this little bit of intensity?

Absolutely impossible!

Shen Youwei pursed her lips and giggled beside him, looking exactly like a little fox that had stolen lamp oil.

"Husband seems unable to continue..."

Chen Wuji jumped up, "Who told you I can't? Come over, let me show you how I'll deal with you!"

How absurd, actually thinking he couldn't.

As an invincible tough guy, how could he possibly be that easily unable?

Shen Youwei stuck out her tongue, giggling as she ran out of the room.

Her face was flushed with a seductive charm, like a bright flower after rain, dazzling to the eye.

Huo Sanniang brought Chen Wuji a cup of tea, "Wuji, rest if you're tired, there's no shame in being unable. This really is tiring, so from now on... don't... keep talking about your so-called fairness, this doesn't need to be fair, everyone gets the same."

Chen Wuji's face turned completely black, "Wife, I feel I must prove my strength to you."

"You've already proved it, you're impressive, just rest well." Huo Sanniang said gently.

Chen Wuji:...

"If you're tired, just sleep a bit, don't push yourself, there's no shame in that. We'll go out first; the Presented Scholar and the Scholar should be back soon, the house isn't big but there are many people, if they see it, it wouldn't be good." Huo Sanniang said with a slightly red face, speaking softly.

"Wife, how could I be unable, I'm just..." Chen Wuji started to speak but was cut off when Huo Sanniang pressed down on his head.

She said softly, "Rest, I still don't know what you're like."

Chen Wuji:...

What am I like?

Laborers are strong!

Huo Sanniang didn't let Chen Wuji say anything else, already leaving the room.

Xue Hongdou gave Chen Wuji a strange look, nodded firmly, and followed Huo Sanniang's steps.

She said nothing.

But it seemed as if she had said everything...

Chen Wuji was speechless, feeling choked.

Damn it, how strong are Laborers, you guys aren't unaware!

Chen Wuji really was fierce just now, killing to the point of making people cry for their fathers and mothers.

But...

Just now seemed to be just now.

What Huo Sanniang and the others saw was Chen Wuji now exhausted, worn out by their combined three-on-one assault.

The bravery during the process doesn't matter; the result is what counts.

Chen Wuji gritted his teeth and sighed heavily, collapsing heavily onto the heated brick bed.

Tired, let it be destroyed.

A lifetime of fame ruined in an instant.

However...

The feeling just now was truly good.

Too exciting!

Chen Wuji really slept, one sleep straight through to dawn the next day.

When he woke up in the morning and saw the outside sky, Chen Wuji was dazed for a while.

He had planned just to take a quick nap, then go into the mountains, but the sky seemed off.

The shadows of light in the yard looked too much like morning.

"Husband, awake? Then I'll go get you breakfast." Huo Sanniang appeared at the doorway, peeked in, and said.

"Wife, wait, how long have I slept?" Chen Wuji asked with a hint of doubtful disbelief.

"One day and one night, oh no, half a day and one night." Huo Sanniang said, "Last night we called you to eat but couldn't wake you, you really were exhausted, so we didn't disturb you, rest when tired, no need to push yourself."

The usually outgoing Chen Wuji became withdrawn at this moment.

All explanations, in the face of this sleep, suddenly turned pale.

He, it seemed, really was tired.

Tired to the point of being unable to be woken by shouting.

But Chen Wuji still refused to admit that he had been made like this by yesterday's events.

It must have been the battle from the night before last.

Absolutely!

After all, such a cruel thing had his nerves taut all night; being a bit tired is reasonable.

After resting well these two days, all his energy will return.

By then we'll see who dares look down on us; we'll have to make them wail and beg for mercy.

After breakfast, Chen Wuji brought Yuan Jinshi and his two brothers into the city.

The day to hand over the goods with Hengtong Business Business Business has arrived.

This is his first cooperation with a large firm; it must be taken seriously.

In front of Yangji Tiejiangpu, it was still bustling with activity.

However, today there were no onlookers, only the sounds of hammering.

Lao Yang, unusually idle, was sitting under the shade of a street-side tree, having tea with a middle-aged man.

A small square table held a red-clay brazier, with charcoal fire rising; a handled teacup topped with pleasant green tea leaves bubbled, and beside it lay some dried fruit.

This pleasant atmosphere instantly made the rough ironworker Yang Tiejiang appear refined.

"Lao Yang, why are you so leisurely today?" Chen Wuji stepped forward and asked with a smile.

This elder being so idle suggests the overdue iron pots have all been settled.

"Wuji, have a seat." Yang Tiejiang greeted Chen Wuji to sit, then stood up to explain to him, "Let me introduce you: this is Wang Guanshi of Yude Business Business Business, who has come today for our iron pots; the business is big, and as a rough ironworker I can't get to the point, so your arrival is just right."

Wang Guanshi looked at Chen Wuji with some surprise, rose and clasped his hands, saying, "I have seen you, Brother Chen!"

Chen Wuji returned the salute, smiling lightly, and said, "Lao Yang, between us there's no need for such flattery."

"Nonsense, I'm just an ironworker; thinking work isn't for you two to discuss." Yang Tiejiang waved his hand and laughed, scolding, "I know my own abilities; I couldn't possibly deny it, or I wouldn't be this kind of person."

Wang Guanshi laughed, "Yang Shopkeeper, you're being too modest; even if you don't admit it, we can see these things. Without great ambition, how could these iron pots arouse such envy among us truly incapable people?"

"The appearance of this item is nothing short of breaking the cauldron's path! How could ordinary people achieve this?"

Yang Tiejiang grew impatient, his fierce eyebrows knitting tightly, and said, "Let's talk business; I'm just an ironworker, I don't have that much talent."

He didn't frankly say how the iron pot came about, but Chen Wuji also understood what was going on.

Some people put themselves too low; the meaning behind their words is not pleasant to hear.

This Yude Business Business Business probably didn't come just to talk business peacefully.
