Chapter 5 Offering Themselves
Shi Jiaojiao stumbled violently and almost fell.
She covered her swollen cheeks, her eyes brimming with tears, feeling utterly wronged.
To please Song Li, she would take out the fine white flour and cured meat that she herself was reluctant to eat and offer them to her.
While eating, Song Li kept saying that she only recognized herself as her daughter-in-law, but now that something has happened, she has turned on her like a whimper.
Lin Zhicheng instinctively reached out to help her.
But when he saw that Jiaojiao was covered in filth, he couldn't help but feel disgusted and stopped moving.
Shi Jiaojiao was taken aback.
She bit her lip, feeling a tightness in her chest.
Then, she watched helplessly as Lin Zhicheng was pulled away by his mother, Song Li.
"Damn it!"
Shi Jiaojiao's face darkened, and she stomped her feet in anger.
It's all Shi Yu's fault that things turned out this way.
I will never let that bitch get away with this!
Just as she was feeling indignant, Shi Jiaojiao turned her head unintentionally and suddenly saw the boar lying on the ground.
For a moment she was taken aback, then her eyes lit up.
This is a whole boar!
In the Shi family, everyone gets a piece of meat only during the Lunar New Year.
But now the pig belongs entirely to her.
Shi Jiaojiao suppressed her excitement and, seeing that no one was around, she couldn't wait to put the pig into her space.
After she finished, she straightened her clothes and dusted off her hands.
As she left, Shi Jiaojiao's lips curled up slightly, and she was clearly in a much better mood.
Meanwhile, Song Li stormed off halfway before remembering her own pig.
Lin Zhicheng was in a bad mood and went home first.
With no other option, she borrowed a cart from someone and hurriedly made her way back.
But when Song Li rushed back to the thatched hut, she was dumbfounded.
Where are the pigs?
Not to mention pigs, we didn't even see a single pig hair.
Having lost both her wife and her army, Song Li slapped her thigh, sat down on the ground, and burst into tears, crying, "Oh dear! Which heartless scoundrel stole my Lin family's pig!"
But when her heart was ablaze with anger, she fell ill.
...
Lin Zhicheng was in charge of transporting fresh water to Heishan Island.
Shi Yu only knew that Lin Zhicheng hadn't delivered water for the past ten days or so, but she didn't know the specifics of why.
So she made a point of inquiring about it.
Only then did they realize that Lin Zhicheng was insatiable and, as his appetite grew, he proposed raising the price of fresh water.
The price of a bucket has increased from 1.5 cents to 3.5 cents.
The people on Black Mountain Island are poor, so naturally they cannot accept this.
Lin Zhicheng deliberately dragged things out in order to force everyone to comply.
I need to think carefully about how to help Lu Yizhou and show my sincerity.
Thinking about this, Shi Yu walked home.
During the journey, Shi Yu unexpectedly overheard a piece of gossip.
That is, Song Li hurriedly went back to look for the pig, but she couldn't find the pig and instead fell ill.
The barefoot doctor had just returned from her house.
According to the other party, taking medicine is useless because Song Li's illness is psychological, and psychological illness requires psychological medicine.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu smiled meaningfully.
It seems that Shi Jiaojiao has already stored the whole pig in her spatial storage.
Since that's the case...
She touched her chin meaningfully, a sly glint flashing in Shi Yu's bright eyes.
She suddenly had a really good idea.
However, she had just transmigrated and had consumed a lot of energy. She was already very tired, so she decided to catch up on her sleep first, no matter what.
As soon as we got home, the fish fell asleep.
But to her surprise, not long after, a cloth shirt was suddenly thrown heavily at her face.
Shi Yu was forced to wake up, but as soon as she opened her eyes, her collar was grabbed forcefully.
Her shoulders were forced off the bed.
"Shi Yu! You've really grown bold, daring to bully Jiao Jiao like this! Get up right now and apologize to Jiao Jiao!"
Raising her eyes to stare at Shi Nian's roaring face, Shi Yu pushed his hand away and then slowly sat up.
Glancing at the cloth shirt lying on the ground, Shi Yu asked, "Did you throw this at me?"
Shi Nian never expected that the usually timid Shi Yu would be so calm. She instinctively shouted, "I threw it, so what? I think you not only deserve to be thrown, but also deserve to be beaten..."
Shi Yu raised her hand and slapped him across the face without any hesitation.
Snap!
A crisp sound interrupted Shi Nian's words.
As five finger marks clearly appeared, Shi Nian was stunned.
Realizing what had happened, he flew into a rage, his shrill voice filled with disbelief, "Shi Yu! How dare you hit me?! I'm your brother!!!"
Shi Jiaojiao was also dumbfounded.
Shi Yu used to be a coward, not even daring to speak loudly, let alone hit anyone.
Now it's like you've become a completely different person.
Possessed by an evil spirit?
"I bet you're Shi Jiaojiao's brother! Otherwise, how could you be so blind? Instead of questioning her about seducing someone else's fiancé, you're making trouble for me without even knowing the facts." Shi Yu sneered sarcastically.
"you……"
Shi Nian choked for a moment.
"Cousin Shi Nian, don't blame my cousin. She must have misunderstood me to do that." Shi Jiaojiao reached out and tugged at Shi Nian's sleeve.
At this moment, tears welled up in her eyes, a mixture of suppressed emotions and grievances about to fall.
Seeing her like this, Shi Nian felt even more sorry for her.
He patted Shi Jiaojiao's shoulder reassuringly, his voice gentle, "Jiaojiao, you're just too kind. She hurt you so much, and you still speak up for her."
"no!"
"She has to apologize to you today no matter what, because of what she did."
After saying that, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Shi Yu.
There is absolutely no blood ties whatsoever.
Shi Yu was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. Her cold gaze swept over him and landed on Shi Jiaojiao.
Now that she's come to me of her own accord, it's saved me a lot of trouble.
"Jiaojiao! Do you know where we can get pig gallbladders?" Shi Yu tilted her head slightly, her face showing impeccable innocence.
"What do you need a pig's gallbladder for?"
Unable to keep up with Shi Yu's leaps in thought, Shi Jiaojiao asked subconsciously.
"Lin Zhicheng's mother is sick, and the doctor said that she can only get better by eating pig gallbladders."
"You know, in five days our whole family will be sent down to Black Mountain Island..."
Upon receiving the hint, Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no!
Shi Yu, that bitch, really regretted it and tried to take the opportunity to curry favor with Lin Zhicheng's mother.
Hmph! Keep dreaming!
"have no idea!"
She had no mind to cause any more trouble for Shi Yu. With her mind set on seizing the opportunity, Shi Jiaojiao abandoned Shi Nian and turned to walk away.
Staring at her retreating figure, Shi Yu curled her lips in a mocking smile.
A pinch with the fingertip.
She temporarily lifted the barrier around Shi Jiaojiao's space.
"Jiaojiao is so kind. Even after all this, she doesn't hold it against you. Shiyu, if you're still single and have any conscience, hurry up and catch up with Jiaojiao, kowtow to her and apologize."
The vicious voice drilled into his ears, and Shi Yu subconsciously frowned.
But she was afraid that Shi Nian's stupid appearance would offend her eyes, so she only glanced at him disdainfully before looking away.
"Get out!"
Shi Yu lowered her head as a warning, gently rotating her right wrist.
The threatening gesture was cold yet tinged with a hint of languor.
"you……"
Just as Shi Nian was about to explode, he saw Shi Yu's movements and stopped.
His lips twitched twice.
Oh shit!
My cheek, which I had just slapped, started hurting again.
"Shi Yu, I'm busy right now, so I won't argue with you for now. You just wait!"
After uttering this threatening remark, Shi Nian moved with lightning speed, leaving without slowing down at all.
Then, Shi Yu also got up.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
She followed Shi Jiaojiao discreetly, trailing her all the way to the cemetery on the western hillside behind the mountain before stopping.
