Chapter 62 The Shi Family is a Big Joke
Shi Jiaojiao was pushed and stumbled forward.
"……oh oh!"
Although she was somewhat embarrassed when she realized what was happening, she didn't dare to delay and could only bite the bullet and stumble after him.
But she was unsteady on her feet and didn't run very fast.
This greatly alarmed Shi Liu Shi. "Oh dear! Shi Jiaojiao, you good-for-nothing, why are you running so slowly!"
She slapped her thigh hard and chased after him.
Everyone else was not home, so now there was no one left.
Shi Yu turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered inside. He went to the kitchen and took out his household registration book from the stove hole.
After putting it away, she turned around and went to check the cellar one last time.
The entrance to the cellar had been enlarged, and it was covered with excavated soil.
"Very good!" Shi Yu nodded in satisfaction, stroking her chin.
Since Lu Yizhou can no longer be relied upon to dig a well, it's best to rely on the Shi family instead.
If they are greedy enough, they will keep digging until they find the non-existent cured meat hidden underground.
...
On the other side, the goat seemed to know the way and ran precisely towards Shi Yu's house.
Halfway through the race, it suddenly shook its head violently.
Snap!
The dried mustard greens skewer fell to the ground.
Without even stopping for a moment, the goat's head ran off in a flash.
A few seconds later, Shi Jiaojiao was the first to run over.
She quickly bent down and picked up the things, "Grandma...Grandma...mustard greens...dried mustard greens..."
She was panting heavily, and she could barely speak properly after running.
Shi Liushi, who followed closely behind, was not much better off.
Her hair was disheveled and loose, and she was so embarrassed that even the folds of her hair were covered in beads of sweat.
Shi Liushi breathed a heavy sigh of relief as she took the skewers of dried mustard greens handed to her by Shi Jiaojiao.
Thank goodness!
We finally got it back.
The commotion had already attracted a lot of people.
Everyone laughed out loud as they watched Shi Liu unconsciously raise her hand to gently stroke the dried mustard greens, treating them with such care.
"Hahaha, look at this! Has this old lady never seen dried mustard greens before? She's treasuring them like this!"
"They're poor! They look like beggars dressed like that."
"No, no, it's not appropriate to call them beggars; a big joke is more suitable for them."
"That's right. Ever since the Shi family was sent down to Black Mountain Island, they've done a few embarrassing things."
Shi Liu's face flushed red and then turned pale.
She lowered her head and, like a stray dog, hurriedly pulled Shi Jiaojiao away.
...
After returning home, Shi Yu tied up the sheep and went to find Mr. Yu.
Mr. Yu took the household registration booklet. "I'll be leaving the island by boat in a bit. It should be done in about three days. If I can't get here by then, I'll ask someone to bring the divorce certificate to your mother."
"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Yu!"
After thanking him, Shi Yu went home.
As soon as I got home, the loudspeakers on the island started blaring.
They said the work shed was ready and everyone should be on time for work tomorrow.
The next day, Shi Yu got up very early.
She needs to prepare lunch for her workday.
I fried two sunny-side-up eggs, then took out a large piece of chicken breast from my spatial storage and specially made a spicy diced chicken dish.
It's spicy and fragrant.
It's incredibly tempting.
For the main course, a pot of white flour buns was specially steamed, and a large jug of spiritual spring water was also added.
After finishing breakfast, the mother and daughter left home.
But to everyone's surprise, when they arrived at the dock, Shi Yu discovered that Shi Jiaojiao was rummaging through the fishing nets, taking away the work that should have belonged to her and her mother.
Frowning, Shi Yu walked over and said, "Shi Jiaojiao, what are you doing? Go back to your post."
When Shi Jiaojiao turned her head and her gaze fell on Shi Yu's delicate face, a flash of jealousy first crossed her eyes, which was then replaced by a hint of provocation.
"Shiyu, drying fish is my job now!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Yu narrowed her eyes.
"Oh! You and your aunt don't know yet, do you? We've switched jobs. From now on, I'll be drying the fish, and you and your aunt will be in charge of cleaning them."
At this moment, Shi Jiaojiao's voice was full of smugness.
"Oh, right!" Then, she changed the subject, "The cleaning work is really hard. The water is freezing cold, and it feels like your hands are being cut by a knife."
"You and your aunt must be patient!"
Shi Yu's face darkened.
She walked over to Shi Jiaojiao, wanting to have a good "discussion" with her.
Upon seeing this, Shi Jiaojiao's smug expression froze for a moment.
Shi Yu is like a completely different person now. She's a wicked beast. She even dares to openly challenge Shi Liu Shi. Shi Jiao Jiao is really afraid that she will lay a hand on her.
My heart jumped into my throat.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Aunt Zhang stepped forward and stopped Shi Yu.
"Good child, don't be impulsive. There must be something else going on here. The contractor came this morning and specifically told you to switch jobs with Shi Jiaojiao. Why don't you and your mother go and ask him?"
“Yes! Yu Yu, let’s find out what’s going on first,” Huang Ying advised.
"good!"
Seeing this, Shi Yu finally gave up.
Then, she and Huang Ying went to find a subcontractor.
To his surprise, the contractor told him that Jiang Haiwang had instructed him to do all of this, and he was just following orders; he didn't know the specifics of what was going on.
And so, Shi Yu and Huang Ying went to find Jiang Haiwang again.
The mother and daughter found Jiang Haiwang near the altar in the southeast corner of the seaside.
"Jiang Haiwang!" Shi Yu stepped forward with her arms crossed and coldly questioned, "The job assignments were already done beforehand. What right do you have to say you can switch them?"
Jiang Haiwang turned around, raising an eyebrow. "Just because of that piece of pig's head that Shi Jiaojiao selflessly offered."
Following the direction of his finger, Shi Yu glanced at it.
In the center of the gray offering table, there was a piece of pig's head meat the size of a fist.
There were some other grains nearby, such as dried vegetables, dried biscuits, peanuts, and other inconspicuous things.
Of all the pieces, this one, the pig's head, is the most eye-catching.
"What's wrong? Pig's head meat?" Shi Yu asked, puzzled.
“On our Black Mountain Island, we hold a sea-worship ceremony every year at 2 pm today to pray for a smooth voyage in the coming year.”
"The offerings were raised by the islanders."
"Anyone who makes a significant contribution can be freely reassigned to a different job."
"This is the rule on our Black Mountain Island. It's been like this for decades, and it's not just targeting you." Jiang Haiwang crossed his arms, his eyes full of confidence.
“That’s right, that’s how it is!” The other islanders standing nearby nodded in agreement.
"Shi Jiaojiao only brought out a small piece of pig's head meat, and that's considered her biggest contribution?" Shi Yu's expression was somewhat disdainful.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those around him changed.
Their expressions were complicated as they looked at Shi Yu, but a hint of mockery still crept in unintentionally.
