Chapter 77 How badly did they torture the little girl?
That's right!
In Shi Yu's opinion, the two were incomparable in every aspect, and to compare them would be an insult to Lu Yizhou.
After saying that, Shi Yu turned around.
In one sentence, without a single swear word, Shi Jiaojiao was furious.
He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead.
She struggled to get up.
Someone passing by saw Shi Jiaojiao's disheveled appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Shi Jiaojiao trembled, her face flushed red, and she felt even more furious.
He hadn't vented his anger.
Just then, Shi Jiaojiao's gaze swept across the room and she suddenly noticed Shi Cao next to her.
"Shi Cao!" Shi Jiaojiao shouted and charged towards Shi Cao aggressively.
Shi Cao shuddered in fright.
It was too late to hide.
"So, you just stood there watching me get bullied without offering any help! You think you're so great? If I didn't have you, how could we have come from the same mother's womb..."
Shi Jiaojiao grabbed Shi Cao and shoved her forcefully while cursing her.
"No...no, I...I just arrived!"
Shi Cao explained, her eyes red.
Her helpless body swayed precariously, being pushed and shoved around.
I felt wronged and helpless.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't listen to her explanation at all, because there was no need for it. In the end, she just wanted to find a scapegoat.
It's always been like this, from childhood to adulthood.
"Useless!" After venting her anger, Shi Jiaojiao felt a little better. She pushed Shi Yu away and turned to leave.
"ah!"
Shicao lost her balance and was pushed to the ground.
Her palm sliced across the sharp stone, drawing blood. Shi Cao gasped in pain, tears welling in her eyes. "Ouch!"
The people around watched coldly, and no one was willing to step forward to help.
Just when Shicao was feeling helpless, a clean white handkerchief was suddenly held out in front of her. "Wipe yourself!"
Shi Cao was taken aback.
She slowly raised her head, and what came into view was Shi Yu's delicate little face.
She went and then returned.
"Th...thank you..." Shi Cao pursed her lips.
After getting up from the ground, she lowered her head and looked reserved, refusing to accept the handkerchief that Shi Yu offered.
"Take this!" Shi Yu pulled her hand and pressed the handkerchief into her palm. "Treat the wound and be careful not to let it get infected again."
Shi Cao's body stiffened.
She stared intently at the pristine white handkerchief, feeling Shi Yu's kindness and care, and her nose began to sting with tears.
No one had ever been this kind to her before.
“Cousin, wait…wait a minute…” The next moment, she mustered up her courage and called out to Shi Yu.
Shi Yu turned to her with a smile, "What's wrong? Is something still bothering you?"
Why...why do you care about me?
Shi Yu was taken aback by the question.
Then, she sighed softly.
The Shi family is truly a heartless place; look at how they've tormented this young girl.
To accept one's fate passively and to be cautious.
Even the slightest concern or kindness makes them feel unworthy, and they have to cautiously ask why.
“Because I’m your cousin!” Shi Yu gave her a deep look. “Shi Cao! All people are born equal and are independent individuals. No one is more noble than anyone else.”
"Happiness is in your own hands."
"Sometimes, if you don't fight for it or make changes, no one can help you."
"Do you understand?"
“I…” Shi Cao’s pupils trembled, her expression somewhat bewildered.
Happiness is in your own hands!
You have to fight for it yourself!
Such wise words had never been spoken to her before; they were unfamiliar to her and even a little shocking.
Although Shicao didn't quite understand, for some reason, a subtle change began to occur deep within her heart, and something called "power" slowly sprouted...
Meanwhile, Shi Jiaojiao hadn't gone far when she was stopped by the workers who came looking for her.
“Jiaojiao…look, it’s noon, shouldn’t you prepare lunch for us?”
"Yeah yeah!"
Several pairs of eyes stared intently at Shi Jiaojiao, their anticipation almost impossible to conceal.
As is customary, the meals provided for those who work are quite good.
They were pretty hungry and had been looking forward to this meal for ages!
Shi Jiaojiao's expression changed.
Damn it!
There was no way to escape them; they actually chased us all the way to the dock. Were these people reincarnated starving ghosts?
All you ever do is eat!
"It's like this..." Shi Jiaojiao cursed inwardly, but she didn't show it on the surface. She just gave a perfunctory smile and said, "I've been too busy. I haven't had time to prepare lunch yet."
"Why don't you go home and grab something to eat?"
"Come back to work after lunch."
"What?"
A few words left the group completely stunned.
We looked at each other, and in the end, our expressions all turned ugly.
"Shi Jiaojiao, what do you mean? You didn't prepare any food for us at all, did you?" One of them couldn't help but yell, "This is hilarious! I've done so much work for others over the years, and I've never encountered anything like this before."
"Exactly! It's shameful."
"If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. Stop pretending!"
"Using people for free? Who do you think you're fooling!"
The others were also seething with hatred.
Isn't this just playing with people?
Shi Jiaojiao was surrounded and her little schemes were exposed. People around her kept pointing and whispering, and she couldn't leave even though she wanted to.
It was incredibly awful.
Shi Yu watched from a distance.
A mocking smile curved his lips.
This scene was exactly what she had anticipated.
"Shiyu, something bad has happened! Something's happened to your house!" At this moment, Aunt Zhang rushed over and quickly told Shiyu in her ear about Shi Liushi smashing up her door.
"What?"
Shi Yu's face darkened slightly.
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless.
The Shi family has repeatedly pushed her boundaries and shattered her understanding of right and wrong.
"They definitely want to take advantage of this opportunity to seize your house, Shiyu, you have to think of a solution quickly!" Aunt Zhang was genuinely worried about the mother and daughter.
"Yes! Don't worry, Aunt Zhang, I know."
As she spoke, Shi Yu's thoughtful gaze fell on the indignant workers.
A thought struck me.
An idea immediately came to mind.
Then, she walked over.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment," Shi Yu said with a smile.
Her words immediately drew everyone's attention.
“You’ve worked hard all morning, how can I let you go hungry? Here’s what we’ll do! Come to my house for a meal later, I’ll provide it.”
"Really?"
"real!"
Upon receiving Shi Yu's affirmative answer, the workers immediately smiled.
Compliments rang out one after another.
"If we're talking about grandeur, then Shi Yu is the real deal."
"That's right. They both have the surname Shi, but they are worlds apart in terms of character. This girl is so stingy and petty, she can't even compare to one of Shi Yu's toes."
"That's right, that's why we all prefer Shi Yu. Some people should take note of this in the future."
fawning on the powerful and belittling the weak.
Amidst the shower of compliments directed at Shi Yu, Shi Jiaojiao blushed deeply.
The pleasure that power had previously brought her was shattered and eventually vanished completely.
She lowered her head and fled in panic, wanting nothing more than to get away from there immediately.
