Chapter 14 What a heartless man!

Shi Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously.

She had clearly seen Jiaojiao and Jiang Haiwang's little actions just now.

"What? Does the person in charge of a tiny Black Mountain Island have so much power that he dares to accept bribes?"

Jiang Haiwang was stunned.

The mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

On this island, no one has ever dared to challenge his authority.

Shi Yu was the first one.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? How dare you slander me? Believe me or not, I'll throw you into the sea." Jiang Haiwang's gaze turned cold as he threatened viciously.

"Wow, that's impressive!" Shi Yu sneered sarcastically.

She's not someone you can just bully.

Stepping forward, Shi Yu was about to grab Jiang Haiwang's arm and let everyone see the two yuan in his palm.

But who knew...

Just as the fish tried to move, its arm was grabbed first.

"Who? Are you blind...?"

Shi Yu was about to curse, but when she turned her head and suddenly saw Lu Yizhou's handsome face, she swallowed back the harsh words.

"Lu Yizhou, it's you!"

With a change in expression, Shi Yu immediately smiled.

At the same time, people uncontrollably moved closer to him, getting as close as they could.

Although you can't touch him in front of so many people, absorbing his aura up close can still slowly replenish your energy.

Lu Yizhou: "..."

Calling her a female hooligan is really not an exaggeration.

"Yi Zhou, do you know her?" Jiang Haiwang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know him!"

When he released the fish, Lu Yizhou took a step back, deliberately increasing the distance between them.

“Uh…” Shi Yu rolled her eyes at Lu Yizhou in an annoyed manner.

What a heartless man.

Standing outside the crowd, Lin Zhicheng's face darkened as he watched this scene.

He originally planned to take advantage of Shi Yu's most helpless and pitiful moment when she begged him for help, as punishment for her overdoing the "playing hard to get" tactic.

But then I saw this scene.

snort!

At this moment, Yu deliberately approached other men to provoke him; she really knew how to do that.

Lin Zhicheng stormed off in a huff.

Jiang Haiwang breathed a sigh of relief when Lu Yizhou said he didn't know Shi Yu.

Just as he was about to launch another attack, he heard Lu Yizhou say, "They are both women, and they are not strong enough to kill a chicken. It's probably not appropriate for them to live in a cowshed, is it?"

His voice was soft and indifferent.

It sounded like a question, but the voice contained a powerful sense of pressure.

Jiang Haiwang clenched his fists reluctantly, quickly weighing the options in his mind.

It's not worth offending Lu Yizhou over such a trivial matter.

Anyway, once we're on his turf, there will be plenty of opportunities to teach this arrogant and ignorant Shi Yu a lesson.

"In that case, let the two of them live in the old house left by Niu Er's family!"

...

Someone took Shi Yu and her daughter to their lodgings.

It looks like this old house has been uninhabited for a long time, with weeds growing all over the front door.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

The mother and daughter tidied it up, making it barely habitable.

And this busy work lasted until evening.

When the family divided their property, the mother and daughter only received a bag of cornmeal.

There was a broken pot on the stove.

Huang Ying grabbed a handful of slag and a ladle of fresh water that had just been distributed, and put them in the pot to simmer slowly.

Shi Yu took out a large cabbage from her spatial storage and lied that she had found it in a corner of the yard.

Huang Ying was overjoyed and quickly took out the small piece of cured meat that was left on the fishing boat and stir-fried it together with the other ingredients.

The mother and daughter sat together and enjoyed their first hot dinner on Black Mountain Island.

This meal was a hundred times better than the one they had eaten at the Shi family's house before.

Not only can you eat your fill, but you can also enjoy stir-fried vegetables with meat.

It's so heartwarming and comforting.

However, the Liu family did not receive such favorable treatment.

Although the houses we live in are better than those in Shiyu, we are being sent down for reform, and there is only so much food to feed so many people. We have to save wherever we can.

Dinner was a quick and easy affair; everyone had a bowl of thin, watery porridge, and there wasn't even any pickled vegetables.

When Shi Yu woke up the next day, she looked a little listless and had obvious dark circles under her eyes.

She didn't sleep well all night.

When the wind blows on the island, it howls and blows fiercely.

There's a broken pane of glass in the window of this old house, and air is blowing in, making a creaking and rattling noise that's incredibly loud.

"Yuyu, let's go to the brigade to ask about the work assignments. We can have breakfast when we get back, okay?"

At this moment, Huang Ying walked over.

There is no land on Black Mountain Island, so crops cannot be grown. The only way to earn a living and survive on this barren island is to work alongside everyone else, fishing and processing fish.

Therefore, the type of job you are assigned is crucial.

"Oh... okay!"

Shi Yu responded dully.

After Huang Ying left, the sea breeze finally subsided a bit, and Shi Yu immediately lay back down straight.

She wants to take a nap a little longer.

I drifted off to sleep, and after what seemed like an eternity, I faintly heard a low, aggrieved sob.

Shi Yu frowned subconsciously.

Then, she slowly opened her still somewhat heavy eyelids and turned to look.

Yes... Huang Ying is crying.

"Mother! Why are you crying?" Shi Yu's low, hoarse voice was filled with confusion.

"No...it's nothing..."

Seeing that Shi Yu had woken up, Huang Ying hurriedly wiped away her tears and tried to rush to the kitchen, but was stopped by Shi Yu who jumped down.

"Mother, what happened? Is it... that the division of labor went wrong?"

The mother and daughter looked into each other's eyes, staring into those clear and beautiful eyes. Huang Ying was momentarily dazed.

Firm and cold.

It gives people a sense of peace of mind without them even realizing it.

Her fish... has finally grown up.

"Okay!" Huang Ying nodded gently. "The team said that all the workstations are full and there is no work to be assigned to us for the time being. They told us to wait."

Shi Yu was not surprised by this answer.

She had just arrived yesterday when she offended Jiang Haiwang; that guy is clearly a scoundrel.

only……

Shi Yu noticed that Huang Ying's eyes were darting around, her two bright red eyes filled with mixed emotions, both aggrieved and resentful.

It's obvious she's downplaying the main issue and there's something else she hasn't mentioned.

"It's alright, Mother. We've just arrived on the island, so let's rest for a bit and take it slow. The work issue can be easily resolved." Shi Yu didn't pry into the details.

After breakfast, she told Huang Ying that she wanted to go out for a walk and get familiar with the island environment.

Huang Ying looked slightly worried, but she couldn't bear to refuse her daughter, so she could only give her a few words of advice with lingering fear.

“Then be careful, Yu Yu, don’t go to crowded places. The people on the island are strangers, and some… some bully the weak and fear the strong.”

"I understand, Mother!"

Shi Yu agreed with a smile, but when she turned around, her face turned cold.

Are they bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong?

Oh!

Let's see who's tougher.

...

Shi Yu wandered around the island for a while, thought about it, asked someone for directions, and then headed towards the only small shop on the island.

Because this place is the site of the biggest intelligence war.

Shi Yu walked over from a distance and saw two women sitting under the big tree.

One young, one old.

"Hey! Auntie, I went to the team this morning, guess what I saw?"

"What did you see?"

"I saw it with my own eyes. That woman who was newly sent down yesterday, oh... I think her name is Huang Ying, was sitting in Jiang Fude's lap, acting all horny!"
