Chapter 13 Slap in the Face, One Falls
Throughout the entire process, Huang Ying remained expressionless, neither arguing nor fighting, and she didn't even glance at Shi Daqiang.
There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.
This time, she was truly heartbroken.
After the family property was divided, Shi Liu was in high spirits and smiled as she invited everyone to leave.
As he turned around, Shi Daqiang glanced back at Huang Ying with a complicated expression.
In the end, however, he chose to follow in Shi Liu's footsteps and continue to be the foolishly filial and ridiculous good son of the Shi family.
As for Shi Nian, he seemed indifferent and uncaring.
A complete ingrate.
The mocking curve at the corner of Shi Yu's lips deepened.
She heard soft, suppressed sobs beside her, and turned to hug Huang Ying, gently comforting her, "Mother, don't be afraid, I'm here. Our lives will definitely get better and better from now on..."
...
The next morning, before dawn, the Shi family arrived at the ferry.
Shi Yu helped Huang Ying stand aside, keeping to themselves and Shi Liu's group separate.
only……
The people over there couldn't help but keep glancing at Huang Ying.
The barefoot doctor didn't say that her illness was incurable and that she could only be kept alive with ginseng.
Given that there's no ginseng around, how come Huang Ying's complexion has improved?
How strange!
The fishing boats arrived quickly, led by Lin Zhicheng.
After the Lin family was emptied out, their only remaining asset was this fishing boat.
After the boat came to a stop, everyone boarded it one by one.
After a few days apart, Lin Zhicheng looked much more haggard, with dark circles under his eyes, and sat alone at the bow of the boat.
The days of being fawned over are gone, and Lin Zhicheng inevitably feels dejected.
I felt uneasy.
But then I thought again, the fish is still on the boat!
Given her eagerness to curry favor with him, how could she possibly let such a good opportunity slip by? She'll definitely be the one to come up to him, showering him with concern and trying to please him in every way.
Thinking this way, Lin Zhicheng subconsciously straightened his chest.
But to everyone's surprise, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement from Shi Yu's side.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Lin Zhicheng frowned and couldn't help but look over.
But he saw Shi Yu snuggling intimately with her mother, whispering sweet nothings. A faint smile graced her delicate face, and she didn't even spare a glance in his direction.
Lin Zhicheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Do you think you can attract his attention like this?
dream!
The fishing boat had been rocking on the shore for almost an hour. Shi Liu's face was pale, her brows were furrowed, and she looked pained.
Not only her, but the rest of the Shi family were too.
I woke up too early this morning and didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
After all that bumping and jostling, they were starving.
"Jiaojiao! Didn't you say before that even without your aunt taking care of Grandma, you could still make sure Grandma eats well?"
"Give it to me!"
Shi Liu reached out her hand to Shi Jiaojiao expectantly.
“Uh…” Shi Jiaojiao’s lips twitched twice.
The space is limited, and I can't take anything out. How can I give it to her?
"Um...Grandma, I don't have any food right now. When we get to the island, I will definitely find a way to make sure you have meat to eat."
Upon hearing this, Shi Liu's old face fell.
Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly smelled the aroma of meat.
"Hmm? What does it taste like?"
She sniffed hard, and like a cat smelling fish, Shi Liu quickly looked in that direction.
The same is true for others.
Shi Yu held two huge pieces of cured meat in her hands, pulled Huang Ying's hand over, and placed them in her palm. "Here, Mother, eat this meat to fill your stomach."
"Yuyu, where did you get the meat?" Huang Ying felt uncomfortable under the predatory gazes of the crowd. She lowered her voice and asked softly.
"Given to me by someone else."
"who?"
"Mother, don't ask anymore. Only by eating well can we get healthy and slap those bad people in the face, so they won't laugh at us."
Fearing that Huang Ying would continue to pry, Shi Yu quickly tried to distract her.
"Yes! That's right, Yu Yu, you're right." Taking the meat, Huang Ying's eyes became determined.
The mother and daughter immediately began to eat heartily.
Glug... Glug...
The sounds of people swallowing saliva rose and fell from the fishing boats.
The crowd stared wide-eyed in disbelief, a mixture of shock and intense craving.
Oh my god!
Is this how you eat meat?
These days, sometimes even getting a full meal is a problem; they don't dare to eat as much cornbread as they want.
Are these two crazy?
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Shi Liu also wanted to eat, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she could only deliberately cough loudly to make a big commotion.
He thought Huang Ying would do what she always did, and hurriedly walk up to her and offer the meat with both hands.
But who knew...
Huang Ying didn't even raise her head, but just smiled and said to Shi Yu, "Yu Yu, this meat smells so good!"
"Right!"
Shi Yu smiled too.
Moreover, she deliberately shook the meat in her hand.
When the sea breeze blows, the aroma of meat from my family's place becomes even stronger when I sit downwind, making my mouth water.
"Hmph! Useless thing!" Shi Liu was in a bad mood and turned around to vent her anger on Shi Jiaojiao.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't save face.
She lowered her gaze slightly, looking at Shi Yu with venomous intent, her teeth itching with hatred.
Damn it!
Surprisingly, the situation where the fish lived worse than a dog after the family split up did not occur.
If it weren't for the limitations of her own space, and the fact that she couldn't take out the good stuff inside, would Shi Yu be here showing off like this now?
When they arrived at Black Mountain Island, there would be a time for her to cry.
Lin Zhicheng's face wasn't much better; it was even blacker than the bottom of a black pot.
In the past, Yu always put him first, but now, regardless of whether he's hungry or not, she eats all by herself.
There's a limit to how much you can get his attention, right?
How insensible!
Upon arriving at their destination, Shi Yu and her mother were both in excellent spirits.
In contrast, the rest of the Shi family members were pale, listless, and starving, looking like sick chickens.
The first thing to do when people are sent down to the islands is to assign them accommodations.
Therefore, the Shi family was immediately taken to an open space.
The person in charge of the island is Jiang Haiwang.
He flipped through the booklet in his hand and said casually, "Your Shi family lives in the second empty old house on the east side, with two rooms on the east and west sides, which is enough for you."
"good!"
"Take them there."
"Wait!" At this moment, Shi Liushi, supported by Shi Jiaojiao, took two steps forward and pointed to Shi Yu and Huang Ying standing beside her. "We have already separated our households. The two of them don't live with us anymore."
Jiang Haiwang frowned. "That's your own business."
“You’ve been sent down to the countryside, not here for tourism, so why make such a fuss?”
“Um…” Shi Jiaojiao stepped forward, smiling as she stuffed two yuan into Jiang Haiwang’s hand, her tone meaningful, “Boss, I’m sorry to trouble you. Please find them another good place to stay.”
Jiang Haiwang's eyes flickered.
He calmly rolled the two yuan into his palm, coughed twice, and then said seriously, "In that case, the two of them can live in the cowshed!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Liushi and Shi Jiaojiao exchanged knowing smiles.
