"Wow!" Shen Jiaojiao's eyes widened. "These persimmons look so good, I don't want to eat them."
Despite saying that, she immediately broke off the stem of the persimmon and peeled it off right away. Looking at the tender flesh inside, which resembled steamed egg custard, Shen Jiaojiao took a bite. It was refreshing and delicious.
After resting for a while, Wenxi went to the kitchen to cook. She used the new rice that she had been allocated that day to cook rice without adding any coarse grains. However, she steamed a few sweet potatoes in a steamer. The sweet potatoes, which had only been dug up recently, tasted better than the previous ones.
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue are both at home today, so Wenxi can't cheat and can only cook slowly. However, there's still a lot of braised fish left over from lunch, so she can just heat it up.
Afterwards, Wenxi made stir-fried cured pork with garlic leaves, stir-fried eggs with chives, and radish soup.
The three of them ate dinner happily. After dinner, Shen Jiaojiao went to clean the kitchen, and Jiang Yue went to clean the house. The three of them did their respective tasks and did not have any conflicts because of the housework.
After entering her room that evening, Wen Xi slipped into the system kitchen and began processing crayfish. Once the crayfish were finished, she would start processing eels. She collected these things to make money, not to take up space in the system warehouse.
However, they will keep some of them, and when they sign up for a new fishpond, they will put them in the fishpond to raise fish, so that they will have a continuous source of resources.
Before, every Thursday morning when she went to the black market to ship goods, Wen Xi would often stop by He Chen'an's place and hang some food on his door. Now that they've broken up, she doesn't have to do those things anymore, and she feels much more relaxed.
For women, dating is indeed a burden.
Marriage and childbirth are like a cage, trapping a woman for her entire life until death. No, even death doesn't offer liberation, because she'll be buried with the man after death, even if he cheated on her, was abusive, or was cold towards his wife and children...
Fortunately, she broke up with her boyfriend. Otherwise, if she really married He Chen'an next year, she couldn't imagine what kind of life she would lead.
After busying herself in the system kitchen for a while, Wenxi came out. Just as she was about to turn off the lights, she saw that the system had issued a new mission: to go to another dimension. A small sense of anticipation rose in Wenxi's heart.
Wen Xi quickly turned off the lights in the room and then used 'teleport'. A few seconds later, Wen Xi appeared in a bright and extremely hot place. She looked up at the sunlight overhead and felt that this must be the hot summer.
A white sedan was blocking her way, so Wen Xi slipped into the system kitchen, took a dress from the system warehouse, changed into it, and then came out of the system kitchen, where it was much cooler.
Wenxi curiously peeked out from the front of the car and saw a river next to it, wider than the river in Fengshou Brigade's river bend. So this must not be an ordinary river, but a tributary of the Yangtze River!
Wenxi rolled her eyes but didn't find anything unusual, so she didn't understand why the system had brought her here. Soon she saw a family of three fishing by the river.
A man and a woman were on either side, and the child was in the middle, sitting on a small stool.
Suddenly, the man reached out and pushed the child hard, and with a 'plop' the child fell into the water. Then the man stood up and used the fishing rod in his hand to push the child underwater.
The woman stood up and shouted, "Don't be soft-hearted! Let me tell you, I will never be a stepmother. As long as this child is alive, I will never marry you in this lifetime."
Wen Xi glared fiercely at the woman's back. If she didn't want to be a stepmother, she could have found an unmarried man without children. Instead, she chose a man with children and even made him kill her own child.
"Help, help..." the little boy thrashed about in the water. "Dad, why are you doing this to me? Didn't you say she was your cousin? Why is she marrying you? Did you have an affair behind Mom's back...?"
Mistress?
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow. So this man isn't divorced yet?
"Don't blame your father. Blame yourself for paving the way for him. Once you die, your mother will definitely be unable to bear it and choose to commit suicide to join you. Then the house, car, and property will all be mine, and your father won't have to divide the property with your mother." The mistress laughed arrogantly beside her, as if she already had everything in her pocket.
Wen Xi was furious. She never expected that her husband would be so vicious after his heart changed. He had a mistress but refused to divorce her. He wanted his wife and children to die so that he could take all the property for himself.
Since the scumbag and the bitch want to be together, she will grant them their wish on behalf of the child's mother.
Wen Xi quickly activated the sign-in system, and with two 'plop' sounds, the man and his mistress jumped into the water. To outsiders, it looked like they jumped in on their own, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
Wenxi walked to the riverbank, went into the water, and walked forward step by step until the water became deeper and deeper, almost reaching her chest. Only then did she swim forward, reach the child's side, grab his hand, and pull him to the side.
When rescuing a drowning person, you can't get too close to them, otherwise they'll cling to you like a lifeline, and neither of you will be able to get out. So just grab onto whatever you can.
Wen Xi ignored the scumbag and the bitch struggling in the water. If they could swim to the surface, they were lucky; if they drowned, it was their own fault. Besides, they jumped in themselves, and it had nothing to do with anyone else. Even if the police came to investigate, it was their own problem.
Wenxi dragged the child to the shore and placed him on a rock. She then helped the child up and drained the water from his lungs. After a while, the child opened his eyes, looked at the beautiful older sister in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Big sister, did you save me?"
Wen Xi nodded, then asked, puzzled, "What just happened? Why did that man try to push you into the water?"
As if remembering something, the child didn't answer Wenxi's question. Instead, he eagerly got up from the ground, staggered to the spot where he had been fishing, picked up his father's phone from the fishing box, and impatiently called his mother. However, his father's phone didn't have his mother's number saved.
Fortunately, he remembered his mother's phone number and found it in his missed calls. He dialed it, and as soon as he heard his mother's voice, the child burst into tears. "Mom, Dad and his mistress are going to kill me! That woman isn't even a relative; she's Dad's mistress. They said they'd kill me, then force you to commit suicide, so they won't have to divide the inheritance..."
