Reclaiming My Space at the Start, Not Suffering a Second While Fleeing Famine

Zhou Jiaojiao woke up to find herself transmigrated into a book, becoming the foil character to the female protagonist, who emptied out her resources. Not only was she a fake young lady, but she wa...

Chapter 53 Who is the spy?

In other words, in the book, at the end, there must be a few people who know that Shen Lin has a magical artifact called space. As for whether someone will be jealous of her and do something in the end, Zhou Jiaojiao doesn't know.

She didn't like taking things out of the space. In fact, it was because of this that she took Chen Lin's space into consideration. If she behaved too strangely, she would easily be noticed, and then she would be in trouble.

Therefore, for her, the supplies in the space are not the most important things. The most important things are the learning materials. Having those things is enough for her to make a living.

"Then keep her under surveillance first, and everyone keep an eye on her." The village chief made a decision immediately without listening to Chen Lin's excuses. At the same time, he tied her hands and feet, and gagged her to avoid making any noise.

"Mom..." Zhao Xiaochuan rushed over to save her, but was forcibly pulled back by Zhao Pozi and others. Zhao Pozi kept saying bad things about Shen Lin to Zhao Xiaochuan.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw it all and felt no sympathy at all. The other party stole her food without hesitation. Wasn't he just trying to harm her? If she was soft-hearted towards her enemy, she would be mentally ill.

Chen Lin was put under guard. At the suggestion of Zhou Jiaojiao and the village chief, the villagers stopped talking about this matter. After all, there were many refugees here, and who knew if others would hear about it and steal the food from the villagers of Liushu Village.

"Jiaojiao, this is the coarse grains we exchanged for. Don't get angry with you and your third brother." Second Brother Chu brought Sister-in-law Chu and others over to give Zhou Jiaojiao and her husband dozens of kilograms of coarse grains that they had exchanged with great difficulty from the village.

Zhou Jiaojiao was a little surprised, but soon figured it out: "Second brother, did you exchange food for these coarse grains?"

Although peanuts and oats are good, they cannot fill the stomach as well as naan made of flour. It can be seen that they probably spent a lot of food in exchange for them.

The second brother Chu just laughed: "We haven't been hungry for such a long time, and it's because you helped us. How can I bear to see you suffer, not to mention that you are pregnant."

"Yes, third sister-in-law, let's get through this difficult time together, so don't worry about this little bit of food." Chu's second wife also said.

Mrs. Chu was a little worried and reminded her, "Third sister-in-law, when we went to exchange, we found that these were the only coarse grains left in the village that would be useful to you. We will have to find a way to get some more when the time comes. You know where to get them. Although we are not that smart, we have a lot of strength. Just make the arrangements."

Zhou Jiaojiao felt warm in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile at her family's care. This time, she didn't refuse their kindness and accepted it. "Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, thank you."

"As for finding food later, I will find a way, don't worry." Zhou Jiaojiao was really confident. She had had the idea before, but she hadn't reached that stage yet, so she didn't do it.

Chu Erge and his companions made the worst-case scenario plan. They reduced their rations a little, just to ensure they had enough strength to keep moving forward. When they were hungry, they drank more water. Fortunately, they had simple bamboo water purification tubes, so they didn't have to worry about not being able to boil water on the road. Filtered water was at least safer than drinking river water directly. After all, who knew if there were any dead bodies in the river.

Zhou Jiaojiao had just finished sorting the food with Chu San when Chu San, feeling somewhat unhappy, said bitterly, "I will never leave the cart again. I will definitely keep an eye on the food."

Zhou Jiaojiao was afraid that he would be angry, so she quickly held his face and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I will make Shen Lin spit out the food when the time comes."

"Besides, if she hadn't stolen our food, how would we know she had such a bad heart? It's better than hiding in the dark." Zhou Jiaojiao changed her mind and comforted him.

She actually knew when Shen Lin stole the food, but she didn't open her eyes. Compared with the food, it was more important to make Shen Lin reveal the secret of the space.

After all, this person seems to be a cruel person in the book, and she is the heroine. Since they have a grudge against each other, she has to be killed.

"My wife, you are just trying to cheer me up." Chu San felt very aggrieved. He was still a baby with a mental age of only ten years old.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and tried to coax him gently: "How could that be? My husband is so awesome. Without him, my life would definitely be much harder. In my heart, my husband is the best."

Chu San's face turned red from being coaxed, and he gradually became intoxicated by the sweet words. He hugged her tightly and refused to let go, acting like a spoiled child.

When Zhou Linlin came over and saw this scene, she was shocked. How could Chu San, a grown man, hug his wife outside? This was too... too bold!

"Sister." Zhou Linlin saw Zhou Jiaojiao looking at her and smiled at her ingratiatingly.

Zhou Jiaojiao asked directly: "What are you doing here?"

"Hey, I did pretty good this time, didn't I? You kept telling me not to tell me before, and I thought you didn't believe me." Zhou Linlin said smugly, "I told my eldest brother before, but he still said I was blind. I think he is blind."

Zhou Linlin was talking about Zhou Dalang.

Zhou Jiaojiao had even less affection for the men in the Zhou family. The original owner was sold to the Chu family so easily because Chu's mother wanted to use the money from selling her to marry her son and repair the house.

No matter what, the ones who benefit are the men of the Chu family.

If they hadn't acquiesced, would Mother Chu, a woman who puts her husband first, have done this without hesitation?

"Did he see Shen Lin taking things from the air with his own eyes?" Zhou Jiaojiao suddenly thought of something and asked.

Zhou Linlin nodded, confused. "Yes, my eldest brother saw it. He seemed shocked at first, but then he told me not to mention it."

alright.

Now Zhou Jiaojiao knows who Zhou Mianmian’s spy is in the village.

Of course, she was not very sure, but Zhou Dalang was a strong suspect and she had to keep an eye on him.

"Brother is really weird. He just tried to stop me from speaking. Although our family didn't lose any food, Shen Lin really has bad habits. She secretly took away food from people who had no conflicts with her. Isn't that asking for the lives of the villagers?"

The more Zhou Jiaojiao listened, the more she felt that Zhou Dalang was not a good person either.

She kindly reminded: "You should pay more attention to your own safety. Shen Lin has a magic weapon in her hand. She may be able to escape at any time. I don't know if she will hurt anyone then."

"She dared to hurt someone?" Zhou Linlin couldn't believe it. "With so many of us here, how could she break free?"

"She is so brave." Zhou Linlin sighed.

Zhou Jiaojiao: "..." She is the heroine, not comparable to ordinary people. She patiently instructed Zhou Linlin, and thinking that she had helped after all, she took a steamed bun to thank her.

Although Zhou Linlin was greedy, she still refused. "Forget it. Although I am not full now, at least I am not completely without food. You are already miserable enough. So much has been stolen. When mother doesn't give me any food anymore, you can give me more."
