Chapter 45 Punishment



Seeing Jiang Jiao'er's certainty, Su Mianmian became more certain of her guess.

She continued to test to see what Jiang Jiaoer was trying to do.

So, she pretended to be surprised and said, "What a coincidence! I also have a dragon-shaped jade pendant. But..."

Su Mianmian paused deliberately, then continued, "But unfortunately, I accidentally lost it on my first day in the countryside."

Jiang Jiao'er's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was overjoyed, thinking she had finally found Su Mianmian's space jade pendant.

She couldn't wait to ask, "Really? That's such a pity. But, can you tell me where you lost it? Maybe I can help you find it."

Su Mianmian sneered inwardly. The more she looked at Jiang Jiao'er, the more stupid she seemed.

She decided to teach Jiang Jiaoer a lesson and let her know that not everyone can bully her.

So, Su Mianmian pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, I don't really remember. I think it was in the grass at the entrance of the village. But it's been so long, I probably can't find it anymore."

Jiang Jiao'er felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but she didn't give up and decided to look for it in the place Su Mianmian mentioned.

Seeing that she had lost the jade pendant, Jiang Jiao'er was in no mood to weed in front of these two annoying people, so she turned and left.

Su Qingqing didn't understand what was going on. She saw that Jiang Jiaoer did not frame Su Mianmian as she expected, but left.

Puzzled, he asked, "Mianmian, why did she leave?"

Su Mianmian lowered her voice and leaned close to Su Qingqing's ear, "My space is a dragon-shaped jade pendant."

Su Qingqing was not stupid and quickly realized, "Is she coming for your jade pendant?"

Su Mianmian nodded.

"How did she know you had space? Did she get reborn?"

Su Qingqing couldn't help but think of the rebirth stories she had read.

Su Mianmian also had this suspicion, but she was not sure.

"Mianmian, what should we do?" Su Qingqing looked solemn.

Su Mianmian wasn't worried at all. She patted her arm and said, "Relax. Let's see and test it out. She will definitely come back to us."

"Uh-huh."

The two of them didn't think any more and continued to weed. Earning work points was the most important thing.

"Ayuan, what do you think Jiang Jiao'er will do next?" Qin Huaichuan frowned and looked at Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing with a worried look on his face.

Shen Yuandao shook his head slightly. "I don't know."

Seeing that Shen Yuandao was not worried, Qin Huaichuan could not help but continue to ask: "Aren't you worried about Xiao Su Zhiqing? She is a girl after all. What if Jiang Jiao'er does something bad to her?"

Shen Yuandao replied calmly, "She can handle it herself. She's very capable." His words were full of trust and pride in Su Mianmian.

Qin Huaichuan was choked by these words. He stared at Shen Yuandao with wide eyes and couldn't help teasing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you haven't even got a wife yet, and you're already showing off?"

Shen Yuandao smiled nonchalantly, looking calm.

"You can show off, too."

Qin Huaichuan was speechless after hearing this, thinking: What am I showing off! It's true that he has a crush on Su Zhiqing, but Su Zhiqing doesn't think about it that way at all.

He sighed and changed the subject, "Can we start building the house tomorrow? I can't wait to see the new house."

Shen Yuandao nodded and replied: "The workers have been hired. We have to go to the commune tomorrow to buy some meat and other ingredients to provide them with meals."

Qin Huaichuan also nodded in agreement, "Okay, then let's buy the ingredients and go to Aunt Shu's place to cook. The new house is right next to Aunt Shu, so it will be more convenient."

This way I can see more of Su Zhiqing.

He just didn't believe it. He kept hanging around Su Zhiqing, so how could that wooden Su Zhiqing remain calm?

Shen Yuandao certainly understood Qin Huaichuan's thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud.

After work, Jiang Jiaoer came to the village entrance and searched in the grass.

However, after a careful search, she still found nothing.

Jiang Jiao'er squatted down, holding the black stone tightly in her hand, a look of disappointment on her face. "Stone, no."

She whispered to herself, a hint of reluctance in her voice.

At this moment, the eerie voice sounded in her mind again:

[You idiot, you just believe everything they say? You idiot, you've already alerted the enemy.]

Jiang Jiao'er was startled by the voice. She retorted unconvincedly, "Didn't I just want to test it out first? What if she doesn't have the jade pendant?"

The voice seemed even angrier.

【You're just testing my ass. 】

Its tone was full of disdain and anger.

Jiang Jiao'er was so frightened that she trembled. She didn't dare to talk back and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

The voice replied coldly:

[Continue tomorrow. Build a good relationship first. When she dies, you can go and steal her.]

When Jiang Jiao'er heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she whispered, "Okay."

However, the voice's next words plunged her into fear again.

[Because I alerted the enemy this time, I must be punished.]

Jiang Jiao'er asked in disbelief, "Why is there still a punishment?"

The voice explained coldly:

[You may not be punished, but your life may be in danger... Anyway, we have plenty of people who can help us get the jade pendant.]

Jiang Jiao'er turned pale with fear at these words. She asked in a trembling voice, "What punishment?"

The voice answered mercilessly:

【Extract something from you.】

"Is there anything on me that can be extracted?" Jiang Jiaoer asked softly.

[Beauty, figure, money, merit, luck]

Jiang Jiao'er was in a panic and didn't know how to choose.

However, after a brief hesitation, she quickly made a decision. "You take the merit!"

She thought that the merits would be of no use anyway.

As soon as she finished speaking, she lost consciousness and fainted at the entrance of the village.

It was only after Wei Guoming discovered that the person was missing and told the team leader that he was found.

the next day

Shen Yuandao and Qin Huaichuan came to Yun Shu's house early.

"Why are you here so early?" Yun Shu opened the door.

"Aunt, Huaichuan and I are going to the commune. Today is the big market, so we're going to buy some meat to entertain the people who are building the house."

Yun Shu nodded, "That's right. We can't be stingy about this. Give them better food so they can work harder."

Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing looked at each other after hearing the purpose of the visit.

Su Mianmian: "Qingqing and I will go shopping."

Shen Yuandao thought about it and nodded, “Okay, be careful and don’t rush when you encounter human traffickers like last time.”

Su Mianmian was speechless. Is she such a reckless person?

Shen Yuandao gave her a meaningful look.

Su Mianmian nodded obediently, feeling somewhat guilty, "I understand."
