Chapter 94 A Mismatched Couple Leads to Misunderstandings

This sudden surge of internal heat caused Shi Liu to fall ill.

She lay on the wooden bed, her face pale, groaning softly.

"Mom! Don't scare me! How about I go to town and call a doctor to come and take a look at you?" Shi Daqiang said, squatting by the bed with a worried expression.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Shi Liu coughed for a while.

Before she could even speak, Shi Dashan angrily grabbed Shi Daqiang and pulled him up from the ground.

"You still have the nerve to pretend? If you weren't so incompetent and couldn't control your own women, how could your mother have gotten sick from all that anger?"

"I……"

Shi Daqiang moved his lips hesitantly, feeling a pang of guilt, but in the end, he didn't utter a single word.

That was the truth, and he couldn't refute it.

But……

Who knows the bitterness in his heart!

"Alright!" At this moment, Shi Liu finally managed to catch her breath. "Stop arguing."

"No need to go to town to find a doctor. Just stew a pot of meat for me, and this illness will be cured after a warm and comforting meal."

"What? Stewed meat?"

Upon hearing this, not only did the arguing brothers stop what they were doing, but everyone else was stunned.

Look at me, and I'll look at you.

They stared at each other in disbelief.

“Yes!” Shi Liu didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, and even added, “By the way, I was thinking of adding more meat, preferably top-quality pork belly.”

Shi Dashan smacked his lips. "Mom! But we don't have any meat at all."

"I don't care!" Shi Liu glared arrogantly.

Shi Jiaojiao's lips twitched speechlessly.

At this moment, she couldn't help but suspect that Shi Liu's illness was a craving for food.

Even the finest pork belly?

It's been months, and there's not even a thick layer of oil left in the house.

But...

She would never miss an opportunity to annoy Shi Yu.

Having made up her mind, Shi Jiaojiao's gaze fell on Shi Daqiang, and she smiled in a way that seemed utterly harmless.

"That's easy. Doesn't Shi Yu have meat at home? Uncle can go through the trouble of making a trip to ask her for two catties of meat. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"I?"

"Yes! It's perfectly reasonable for a father to ask his daughter for some meat to give to his grandmother. There's nothing wrong with that."

The suggestion was immediately approved by Shi Liushi, who kept urging, "Jiaojiao is right, Daqiang! Don't just stand there, go now."

"……All right!"

After hesitating for a moment, Shi Daqiang nodded.

Although he didn't say much on the surface, he secretly hoped for something.

Take this opportunity to spend more time with Huang Ying; maybe you can reconcile your broken relationship!

...

Originally, we were supposed to have a day off, but a sudden strong wind at sea forced us to take another two days off.

Shi Yu was preparing to go up the mountain to cut pig feed.

However, before going there, she went to the only shop on the island.

The proprietress was a woman in her forties with a round face and a plump, cheerful appearance.

So everyone calls her Auntie Fat.

As an information hub, she knows a lot.

"Auntie Pang, do you know where I can buy chili seeds?" Shi Yu asked with a smile, propping her elbow on the counter.

"Chili seeds?" The plump aunt was surprised. "You want to grow chili peppers?"

"Yes!" Shi Yu didn't hide anything and said truthfully, "The environment on our island is too humid, and many people suffer from rheumatism. Chili peppers can ward off the cold, so I want to grow some."

After thinking for a moment, Aunt Pang said, "I heard there's a commune in town that has chili seeds, but I've forgotten what it's called."

"By the way, Lu Yizhou knows you're quite close to him, right? You can ask him for help."

Upon hearing this name, Shi Yu was slightly taken aback.

Then, her tone became indifferent, "I'm not familiar with him!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Pang laughed, "What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"

"No!" Shi Yu denied it outright.

But Aunt Pang knew what was going on as soon as she saw it. Her smile deepened. "Lu Yizhou is the most handsome young man on our island. No, you can't find another one like him in the whole town."

"He's not only handsome, but also capable, and he's about your age..."

"In my opinion, you two are better off..."

Shi Yu's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Seeing that Aunt Pang was about to play matchmaker, she quickly interrupted her, "Stop!"

"Auntie Pang, I have something to do, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Shi Yu quickly turned around and walked out, not giving her a chance to continue speaking.

"Come on, you're shy now."

The red thread of fate didn't work out, and Aunt Pang looked regretful.

She just felt that the two of them were an extremely good match!

Standing there, they looked like a perfect couple, the envy of everyone.

Shi Yu hurried out of the store, but when she looked up, she saw Lu's mother standing at the door.

Her eyes were dark and she was staring at her intently.

He remained silent.

Yet hostility emanated from her relentlessly.

Shi Yu paused in his steps.

He didn't care at all, just glanced at her indifferently, and then walked away.

"Damn it!"

Now, Lu's mother's expression turned even worse.

Before she even stepped into the store, she overheard Shi Yu and Aunt Pang's conversation.

This shameless wretch is actually eyeing her own son to this extent, and even dares to try to get Aunt Fatty to act as a matchmaker for her.

hateful!

I must not let her succeed.

After her eyes darted around, Lu's mother made up her mind. She decided not to buy anything and turned to leave.

...

At that time, Lin Zhicheng was also on the mountain.

The plan to sabotage the well failed.

Moreover, after this incident, the islanders became more careful and protected the well meticulously.

He had no chance of making a move.

Now, the Lin family's only source of income has been completely cut off.

Lin Zhicheng frowned, recalling a child on the island who had mentioned seeing a red ginseng while playing there yesterday. This gave him an idea.

If I could get this red ginseng, I could sell it for at least twenty yuan.

So he went up the mountain alone to dig for ginseng.

Lin Zhicheng arrived at noon, leaning on a cane in one hand and holding a hoe in the other. He had been wandering around for two hours.

But we couldn't even see the hairs of the red ginseng.

Lin Zhicheng was sweating profusely and grimacing from exhaustion.

"Oh shit!"

After cursing, Lin Zhicheng wanted to find a rock to sit on.

But to his surprise, he was careless and didn't pay attention to his footing, so he stepped on the edge of the steep slope and slipped.

Ouch!

He fell down and landed hard on his backside.

Just as he was about to move, he suddenly gasped, "Hiss!"

I sprained my ankle.

Lin Zhicheng looked miserable and craned his neck to shout, "Is anyone there? Can anyone help me?"

Lin Zhicheng shouted for a long time in a disheveled state, his mouth dry and parched, but the surroundings were quiet and there wasn't a single person in sight.

With no other option, he gritted his teeth, stood up, and slowly moved outwards, one small step at a time.

After a while, Lin Zhicheng finally saw a child who had come up the mountain to play.

He gave the child two cents and asked him to go down the mountain to call for help.

"Phew!" Lin Zhicheng let out a heavy sigh of relief before finally being able to sit down and rest.

About half an hour later, footsteps could be heard ahead.

Lin Zhicheng's eyes lit up.

Very good.

His rescuers have arrived.

But when the figure walked over, Lin Zhicheng was stunned when he saw the other person's face.
