Chapter 3 An Eye-Catching Scene

The space was dimly lit and bare; there wasn't a building, not even a simple thatched hut.

It's probably about fifty or sixty square meters, and there are some things piled up in the corner.

Shi Yu walked over curiously.

Two large bags of white rice, some cured meat, two large strings of dried mushrooms, two baskets of eggs, and some dates and brown sugar.

After seeing these things clearly, Shi Yu's expression became even more disdainful.

In the original owner's memory, three years ago, Chang'an Village suffered a severe flood, and many crops and houses were destroyed. It has not yet truly recovered.

Many poor families simply cannot get enough to eat.

Although the Shi family could barely make ends meet, they lacked fine grains like white rice and cured meat.

Last year, when Shi Jiaojiao's mother was seriously ill and on her deathbed, she was so hungry that her only wish was to eat a bite of meat before she died.

Shi Jiaojiao had cured meat in her space, but she couldn't bear to take out even a single piece. In the end, her mother's last wish remained unfulfilled, and she died with her eyes still open.

Why!

Such a person's character is truly despicable.

only……

She is now too weak to transfer space onto herself, nor is she able to modify or build it.

However, sealing off the space and making Shi Jiaojiao a hardworking porter, allowing her to only enter but not exit, making it easy to see but not touch, is still quite simple.

Having made up his mind, Shi Yu pinched his fingertips, and the barrier instantly formed.

Then she left the space.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhicheng also took action after receiving a letter from another farmhand.

He and his mother, Song Li, arrived in a large group, accompanied by the village chief and villagers.

Seeing this, Shi Yu quickly hid.

Before long, everyone rushed into the thatched hut, but they were all dumbfounded when they saw what it was like.

There lay a disheveled woman on the ground, covered in filth and motionless, seemingly unconscious.

His face was hidden by the rolled-up hem of his clothes, revealing his white belly, and his body was covered in pig drool.

The boar that had been drugged was foaming at the mouth and had died of exhaustion beside the woman.

The mother and son exchanged a joyful glance.

Song Li was the first to strike, slapping her thigh in anguish, "Shi Yu, you shameless bastard!"

"Village chief, you have to be the judge."

“Their whole family is going to be sent down to Heishan Island. Our Zhicheng, out of consideration for our relationship, doesn’t care about her family background and is prepared to fulfill the marriage agreement and marry her. But look at her.”

"He turned his head and... and he was with a boar... with a boar..."

"Oh! She could do such a disgusting thing, I can't even bring myself to say it! What sins has our Lin family committed?"

Lin Zhicheng's body was stiff, and the corners of his eyes were red.

To outsiders, his restrained and silent demeanor truly resembled that of someone who had suffered a tremendous blow.

"Pah! I've seen despicable people, but I've never seen anyone this despicable."

"Who can argue with that? For hundreds of years, the people of Chang'an Village have been honest and upright. When has such a shameful thing ever happened!"

"She usually seems honest and decent, quite like a human being. I never imagined she would be so promiscuous."

"Oh dear! The Lu family is really unlucky. How did they end up with such a marriage?"

Everyone spat at "Shi Yu" with obvious disgust, wishing they could spit all their spittle at him.

Seeing that he had successfully stirred up public anger, Lin Zhicheng suppressed the smug look in his eyes and looked at the village chief with red eyes, "Uncle Village Chief, you have seen it too. I will never marry Shi Yu and disgrace my family."

"I want to break off the engagement!"

The village chief moved his lips, wanting to offer advice but unsure how, and finally could only nod, "Alright!"

“I will go with you and your son to the Shi family to witness the annulment of this marriage.”

"We'll go too. What if the Shi family is shameless and refuses to annul the engagement? We can put in a good word for them."

The others were all steely, wanting to join forces to seek justice.

Thank you all for your help!

Lin Zhicheng bowed to the crowd in a very formal manner.

When he looked up again, all traces of calculation in his eyes were gone, and he walked out with the others.

As for the unconscious "Shiyu," nobody cared whether he lived or died.

But to everyone's surprise, after taking only two steps, Lin Zhicheng looked up and suddenly saw Shi Yu.

"You...you..."

Lin Zhicheng's pupils dilated, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the smug look on his face froze instantly.

For a moment, he was so stunned that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

This reversal came so suddenly that even the village chief and the villagers were dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

What's going on?

"Shi Yu, what are you doing here? You shouldn't... you should..." Song Li, who was the first to come to her senses, stretched her neck and let out a sharp shout.

Shi Yu raised an eyebrow with a cold laugh, her tone sarcastic, "Should what? Should I lie on the ground disheveled?"

As she spoke, Shi Yu slowly moved closer to the disgusting mother and son.

"Song Li, the woman on the ground's face was clearly covered, how can you be so sure that person is mine?"

"Or did you already know, because..."

"This was originally a vicious scheme by your Lin family. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too, not wanting to acknowledge the marriage but also not wanting to be seen as ungrateful."

"So, you deliberately plotted against me like this? So you could take the opportunity to break off the engagement?"

"Yes or no?"

"You... what nonsense are you talking about?" Having her secret exposed in public, Song Li's eyes flickered guiltily, and her confidence was clearly waning.

The village chief frowned, looking at Lin Zhicheng and Song Li with a hint of suspicion.

Lin Zhicheng's face was extremely ugly.

With his scheme exposed, he had no mind to respond to the village chief's questions; he just stared intently at the woman on the ground.

He hadn't looked closely when he first came in, but now... the red birthmark the size of a peanut on the woman's right abdomen came into view, and his heart skipped a beat.

He was very familiar with this birthmark.

At that moment, Lin Zhicheng felt like the sky was about to fall, and without thinking, he rushed over.

No matter what, you can't let other people see a woman's face clearly.

But while he is fast, there are those who are even faster.

Seasonal fish.

With a disdainful smirk, she made the first move.

His figure was agile and his movements were swift.

Rushing to Shi Jiaojiao's side, Shi Yu swiftly reached out and pulled off the hem of her clothes that was covering her face.

At the same time, he didn't forget to give her waist a hard pinch.

"Hmm..."

As the pain struck, Shi Jiaojiao slowly awoke and sat up.

And so, her face was clearly displayed before everyone.

Absolutely no cover!

Lin Zhicheng was completely dumbfounded.

He rushed to Shi Jiaojiao's side a step too late. In his panic, his legs went weak and he knelt down in front of her.

Their eyes met, and Shi Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with confusion.

The horrific scene before she lost consciousness caused a brief gap in her memory. She subconsciously twitched her dry lips, "Brother Zhicheng..."

"Didn't the village chief and the others witness the scene where the fish and pig were rolling around together when we arranged it? Now you can marry me legitimately, right...?"

"Shut up!"

Lin Zhicheng was shocked, but it was too late to cover her mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

It was eerily quiet.
