Xu Zhiyi transmigrated! She opened her eyes to a scene of being caught in an illicit affair, a setup by the original owner's fiancé and best friend, all to break off the engagement! She decided...

Chapter 18 Why is the change so fast?

Chapter 18 Why is the change so fast?

An hour later, Shen Wuyou arrived at Su Ji Building and was taken to a compartment on the second floor.

Finally, I saw the person waiting inside, the boss of Su Ji. In his previous life, he was in Chen Mansion. He accidentally learned a secret that could make Chen Mansion cease to exist. The one who was interested in Chen Mansion was the owner of Su Ji.

Because in his previous life, he had seen the perverted Chen Shou often cursing the owner of Su Ji, and was angry that Su Ji was against Chen Ji's cloth shop. It was obvious that the two businesses were different and there was no competition, but Su Ji chose to go against Chen Ji to the death.

After taking a sip of tea, Su Dongjia raised his eyebrows nonchalantly and looked at Shen Wuyou, and said coldly: “You said there is something that I am absolutely interested in, what is it, tell me now!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou calmly said the word "Chen Mansion".

After hearing this, Su Dongjia's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he pretended to be indifferent and said, "Chen Mansion? Oh, our two families have no business connection, so why would you be interested in Chen Mansion?"

Shen Wuyou: "What if you can put Chen Fu in jail? Or what if you can make him lose his head?"

Upon hearing this, Su Dongjia's eyes suddenly became serious and he whispered, "You? Are you sure?"

After Shen Wuyou heard it, he leaned over and told him in detail.

After hearing this, Su Dongjia was excited, but he remained calm and questioned, "Where did you get such secret information? How can you prove whether what you said is true or not? Also, what is your purpose?"

Shen Wuyou heard this and thought about how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, “You can check what I said. My purpose is to make him die. As for the reason, I have nothing to say.”

Upon hearing this, Su Dongjia said that no matter whether what he heard today was true or not, even if it was false, he would make it true sooner or later. Chen Shou, I will decide your fate!

He must make Chen Shou die miserably so as to do justice to his dead nephew.

Seeing that the matter had been said, Shen Wuyou prepared to stand up and leave. Anyway, he only had one goal, which was to hope that Chen Shou would die. No matter what, it could be considered an indirect revenge for his previous life!

When Su Dongjia saw Shen Wuyou stand up and leave, he glanced at his clothes that had at least five or six patches on them, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Then he took out a purse from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into Shen Wuyou’s arms.

"To be honest, I am really interested in this matter, so regardless of whether it is true or not, this is a reward for you."

Shen Wuyou took the heavy purse in his hand and was silent for a while. He couldn't refuse it because he really needed silver now, especially since he would have to flee from famine in less than a month. If he didn't have silver to buy food, he and his brother would not be able to survive.

Then he put away the silver, bowed to Su Dongjia and thanked him: “Then I, Shen Wuyou, thank Su Dongjia for the reward!”

Upon hearing this, Mr. Su raised his eyebrows. He thought that he was pretending to be noble and would feel insulted and would return the silver angrily. It seems that he is not that stupid.

People are almost starving to death, and when someone throws a steamed bun to them, they pretend to be noble and refuse to eat it, thinking it is an insult. So they think they deserve to starve to death.

After Shen Wuyou came out of Su Ji Building, he thought about his brother at home, then went to the grain store and bought 20 kilograms of black flour at 18 cents per kilogram, which was almost half the price before the drought.

When he opened the purse given by Su Dongjia, he was surprised to find two silver notes of 100 taels and 50 taels, and 15 taels of silver in it.

On the other side, Xu Zhiyi returned to the Xu family and saw her mother being ordered around busy again, while the whole Xu family was embroidering or chatting in the main room.

Old Mrs. Xu saw Xu Zhiyi coming back after not being seen for a day, and immediately complained angrily: "You money-loser, you have been gone for a whole day, where have you been? Why don't you go and help make dinner?"

Xu Zhiyi was about to retort when she heard this, but then she thought of her plan and immediately responded obediently: "Hey, grandma, I'll go help you right away."

This time, not only was Old Lady Xu stunned! Even Li and Song, who were embroidering handkerchiefs under the eaves, and Xu Xiaoju and Xu Yunyue, all thought Xu Zhiyi had seen a ghost?

Old Mrs. Xu was ready to scold! In the end, this is it?

Could it be that he was so excited that he went crazy after cheating her out of two taels of silver?

Li and Song thought, is it because she knew she was going to marry a fool that she was scared? Or do they think that if she goes back to her old hardworking and uncomplaining ways, her mother (grandmother) will soften her heart and not let her marry a fool?

After dinner, everyone looked at Xu Zhiyi from time to time.

It's fine if they just work hard! When Mrs. Xu divided the food, she deliberately divided it the same way as before, so the mother and daughter could only get half the amount for everyone else.

As a result, the man who had been making a fuss for so many days actually picked up his bowl obediently today and pulled Su to the kitchen to eat!

Song took a bite of the black-faced steamed bread, glanced at the kitchen, and whispered to the Xu family, "Don't you think that the money-loser today was weird?"

Xu Yunyue: "It's more than just strange. It's simply wrong."

Xu Xiaoju on the side didn't take it seriously, curling her lips and saying, "What's so strange about that? She must want to please our family, hoping that we will be soft-hearted and not let her marry a fool!"

When Mrs. Li heard what her daughter said, she nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Didn't she know yesterday that she was engaged to a fool? Look, she has changed today! What else could it be other than this?"

Xu Yaoguang, who had been silent the whole time, heard that Xu Zhiyi was engaged to a fool, and said with some reluctance: "Grandpa, grandma, Daya is a good girl, she can obviously marry a normal man, why do you want to marry her to a fool?"

Old Mrs. Xu: "Bah, what's wrong with a fool? Fools are easier to coax. When she gets married and gives birth to a big fat boy, she will enjoy the happiness."

After hearing this, Xu Jinbao clapped his hands happily: "Haha, silly, this is fun, haha"

If Xu Zhiyi was here at this moment, he would definitely say: Haha! You are more like a fool now!

Xu Lei secretly kicked Xu Yaoguang under the table with his foot: "Your grandparents will take care of it, don't worry about it, just eat your steamed bread."

Old man Xu, who had been keeping a serious face, sighed and said, "Alas, I'm her grandfather, how can I harm her? I heard that family is well off in the village. If she marries them, at least she can have enough to eat in the future. In this situation, who doesn't want to fill their stomachs?"

Xu Zhiyi had been observing the main room and saw that everyone in the Xu family was almost full, and the medicine on his arm was almost taking effect!

He quickly ran into the main room with a smile on his face: "Are you all full? Then I'll clean up the dishes."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves.

Song's sharp eyes saw that the arm seemed to have red spots, and she asked in surprise: "What's wrong with your hand, you loser?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi deliberately put down his sleeves in a panic and stammered, "Nothing... nothing, it's just... it was a mosquito bite."

When the Xu family heard her explanation, they didn't think much about it!
