Chapter 92 Joy Turns to Sorrow: Lin Zhicheng Breaks Out in a Cold Sweat

Lin Zhicheng did not go to the well.

Firstly, his special status, as the biggest beneficiary of the well's destruction, made it easy for him to get himself into trouble and expose himself.

Furthermore, he has absolute self-confidence.

The well was destroyed, but the freshwater transport operation was maintained.

Moreover, Shi Yu couldn't escape the fate of being blamed.

Although he used to find it annoying when Yu fawned over him and fawned over him.

But now, the fish is playing hard to get, suddenly stopping licking in order to get his attention, which makes Lin Zhicheng feel a little uncomfortable.

Let's see how Shi Yu tries to play along this time.

As he was pondering this, Lin Zhicheng looked up and saw Shi Yu and Huang Ying, mother and daughter.

His eyes lit up.

He looked tired and his breathing was weak.

Isn't this the kind of dejected reaction that only occurs after something goes wrong?

"Shi Yu!" Lin Zhicheng's lips curled up slightly, and he walked briskly to meet her. "Oh! What's wrong with you? You look terrible."

"Has something happened?"

"After all, we've known each other for a while now. Why don't you just ask me for help? Maybe I can help you out."

He looked smug and superior, as if he were bestowing a handout.

Shi Yu paused, turned her head, and gave him a cold glance.

It can be said that Lin Zhicheng is the culprit behind the whole thing.

However, Mother is in a bad mood right now, and she's also a bit tired, so she doesn't want to argue with this bastard for the time being.

So the next moment, Shi Yu withdrew his gaze.

With her eyes fixed straight ahead, she exuded an aura of coldness that kept people at a distance. Supporting Huang Ying, the mother and daughter walked directly into the courtyard.

Lin Zhicheng was dumbfounded.

The smug look on his face didn't even have time to fade before he froze completely.

Then, with a loud bang, the door was slammed shut.

Lin Zhicheng was startled for a moment before he came to his senses.

"Damn it!" Lin Zhicheng's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

very good!

You're being ungrateful, aren't you?

Let's see how long she can keep up this tough stance.

After snorting coldly, Lin Zhicheng flicked his sleeve and left in a huff.

On the way, Lin Zhicheng unexpectedly encountered islanders returning from the well.

Since it was already dark and Lin Zhicheng didn't have a flashlight, he didn't notice that the expressions on these people's faces were all filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

He just felt that Shi Yu's family had upset him, so why should she be able to get a good night's sleep?

no!

Absolutely not.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhicheng went straight to the group and said, "Hey! You must be feeling down. Sulking and going to sleep can easily make you sick. Why don't you go find Shi Yu?"

"Why are you looking for Shi Yu?" Everyone was taken aback, and one of them was the first to ask in confusion.

The well was saved thanks to the fishermen.

After all that fuss, the girl must be exhausted. Why are they bothering her?

"I've heard about it. Shi Yu actually did something that endangered the entire island for my sake. She's so vicious, I can't stand by and watch." Lin Zhicheng deliberately shook his head with a look of disapproval.

"Nonsense! Who said Shi Yu is malicious?" As soon as the words were spoken, someone objected and immediately stood up to defend Shi Yu.

Lin Zhicheng was stunned.

What happened?

Something feels off.

While they were wondering what was going on, the others immediately became excited and started talking all at once.

Amidst the crowd's repeated praise of Shi Yu, Lin Zhicheng finally revealed the complete truth of the matter.

The scheme failed, and the well was saved.

And all of this is thanks to the seasonal fish.

Now, she has become a hero in everyone's eyes.

Lin Zhicheng's pupils dilated sharply, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Completely unprepared, the enormous drop made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his entire body ice-cold.

After a long pause, Lin Zhicheng finally managed to move his lips, "How...could this be?"

"Huh?" At this moment, the person closest to him finally noticed Lin Zhicheng's unusual expression. "Lin Zhicheng, what's wrong with you? What's with that expression? Could it be that you were the one who orchestrated this whole thing?"

Once this was said, others also agreed that it made sense.

"Yes, I think you're the most suspicious one."

"And I've also heard—who told you that? These days, everyone praises Shi Yu, and nobody says a bad word about her."

Lin Zhicheng broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding with panic. "No way, don't talk nonsense."

After saying that, he lowered his head and hurriedly left.

...

The next day, Shi Yu was startled when she opened her eyes and suddenly saw Huang Ying sitting next to her.

Her hair was loose, and she had obvious dark circles under her eyes, looking tired.

He looked like he hadn't slept all night.

"Mother, what's wrong? Didn't you sleep all night?" Shi Yu asked with concern after calming herself down.

"Yes!" Huang Ying nodded, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Shi Yu's hand tightly. "Yu Yu, Mother has made up her mind."

"What?"

"Mother has decided to sever ties with Shinian, and from now on we will be completely cut off from all ties. He will go on his sunny path, and I will go on my narrow bridge."

The fish's pupils trembled.

The expression on his face changed from initial confusion to shock.

Severing ties?!

In this backward era, the preference for sons over daughters was particularly pronounced.

The idea that sons are there to provide for one's old age and to carry on the family line is deeply ingrained.

If a family doesn't have a son, they'll be ridiculed and can't even hold their heads up. In the end, when they die, they won't even be able to be buried in their ancestral grave.

Unexpectedly, Mother actually wants to sever ties with Shinian!

"What's wrong, Yu Yu? Don't you agree?"

Shi Yu's expression caused Huang Ying to misunderstand, and her expression immediately darkened.

She bit her lip and said cautiously, "Yuyu, don't worry, when I get old, I'll live in a shack by myself and I'll never be a burden to you..."

"Mother! What nonsense are you talking about!" Shi Yu interrupted her, quickly explaining gently, "I'm your daughter, isn't it my duty to take care of you, Mother?"

"What do you mean by raising children to provide for old age? Don't worry, I'm here. I'll make sure everyone sees for themselves."

“My daughter is not only no worse than my son, but she will only be stronger and do better than them.”

"Okay, okay!"

Huang Ying was moved to tears, feeling deeply comforted.

Immediately, the mother and daughter embraced each other affectionately...

...

On the other side, at the Shi family's house.

Shi Nian, who had been unconscious all night, finally woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes, and as soon as he tried to get up, he grimaced in pain and gasped for breath several times.

"Oh dear! My precious grandson! How could these people beat you like this?" Shi Liushi, who had been keeping vigil all night, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and quickly reached out to help him up.

With her help, Shi Nian finally sat up slowly.

"Grandma, it's all Shi Yu's fault. She's the one who ruined me like this."

Shi Nian's face was contorted with rage as he ground his teeth fiercely.

Instead of reflecting on his own actions or blaming the islanders, he placed all the blame on Shi Yu.

"That damned little slut!" Shi Liu was so angry that she kept slapping her thigh.

I really don't know what sins the Shi family committed to produce such a scourge as Shi Yu.

"Oh right, and Shi Cao, that little bitch."
