Chapter 71 Let's Show Off! The Majestic Old Sow
A calculating glint appeared in the eyes of the girl in the red dress.
What a coincidence!
She has friends on Black Mountain Island.
He spent a huge sum of five dollars just to compete with her for a man; it sounds awful to talk about.
snort!
Just wait, she'll make sure Black Mountain Island becomes utterly despised and scorned by everyone.
...
"Shi Yu, I'm calling you, didn't you hear me?" Lin Zhicheng, who had chased after them, suddenly reached out and grabbed Shi Yu's wrist.
"Get out of my way!"
Shi Yu looked disgusted, turned around gracefully and elegantly, and kicked him without any politeness.
"Aww!"
Lin Zhicheng couldn't dodge in time and was kicked in the knee, causing his face to twitch in pain.
Even so, it didn't stop him from continuing to be self-righteous.
"Shiyu, stop fooling around. You spent five yuan to buy this pound of jujube paste cake just to please my mother and get my attention, didn't you?"
"Alright, I got it. Here you go!"
Shi Yu sneered: "Lin Zhicheng, has your Lin family become so poor that you have to beg from others?"
"you……"
"Sorry, you've come to the wrong person if you want to beg. My fish's stuff, even if you feed it to wild dogs, won't benefit you and your mother at all."
"Understand?"
Lin Zhicheng's face darkened, and he subconsciously clenched his fists.
Shi Yu's words were so harsh; every single one of them hit his sore spots, tearing his dignity as a man off the ground and rubbing it against him mercilessly.
"Get out of the way! A good dog doesn't block the way!"
This time, Lin Zhicheng didn't press the matter further.
Because Shi Yu didn't control her volume when she was cursing him, she attracted passersby to come and watch, and they kept pointing and talking at her.
With so many people watching, he also has to save face.
After everyone had left, Lin Zhicheng stared intently in the direction Shi Yu had gone. After a moment's thought, he suddenly understood everything.
Shi Yu must still love him as much as before.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been jealous of her suitor and spent five yuan to buy that jujube paste cake just to get his attention.
The reason she acted this way was simply to force him to back down and coax her.
"Ha!" After figuring it out, the gloom on Lin Zhicheng's face vanished instantly.
Shi Yu, of course, had no idea what Lin Zhicheng was thinking. She took the jujube paste cake to Jin's house.
Xiao Bao was overjoyed to see her and immediately jumped into her arms.
The two played happily for a while.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shi Yu got up to say goodbye.
Following the address Mr. Yu had left, Shi Yu found his home.
The divorce certificate has indeed been successfully issued.
Shi Yu is very grateful to Mr. Yu.
After thanking her repeatedly and putting down the valuable gifts she had taken out of her spatial storage, Shi Yu finally left.
The small boat to go back has been hired.
As agreed, the boat will depart in half an hour.
During this time, Shi Yu had nothing to do, so he wandered around the dock at will.
Suddenly seeing several people gathered together ahead, Shi Yu walked over out of curiosity.
It turned out that someone was selling pregnant sows.
Among the onlookers, someone who knew what was going on, after carefully examining the old sow for a couple of moments, couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "Judging from its appearance, it might give birth tonight. It would be such a waste to sell it all at once!"
The pig seller's face was filled with helplessness and heartache. "There's nothing I can do. My mother is waiting for the money to buy ginseng to save her life. She can't wait any longer!"
"How much do you want for this pig?"
Fifty-five!
"What? Fifty-five? That's so expensive!"
Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
According to market prices, a boar generally costs around 20 yuan, while a sow costs 5 yuan more.
Sows that are pregnant will be more expensive.
Even if it's expensive, it definitely won't cost fifty-five yuan!
This sow will definitely not sell.
At this point, most of the onlookers lost interest and couldn't help but shake their heads as they walked away.
Shi Yu stood still without moving.
She stared at the sow thoughtfully.
She currently has a dairy goat at home, two hens in her living space, and the sow is about to give birth. If she raises them all in the yard, life will be prosperous and thriving.
Furthermore...
Tomorrow is Shi Liu's 66th birthday.
hehe!
This sow, which is about to give birth, has other wonderful uses too!
Having made up her mind, Shi Yu stepped forward and said, "I'll buy this sow."
When it was time to board the boat, Shi Yu was carrying a pig in one hand and two lively hens in the net bag in the other.
She took it out of her spatial storage.
To deceive the heavens and cross the sea.
It just so happened that it was with that sow, so we said we bought them together from town.
Upon arriving at Black Mountain Island and disembarking, Shi Yu took out a red silk ribbon with big red flowers that she had bought along the way and tied it beautifully to the sow's body.
Then, she deliberately led the sow back in a high-profile manner.
"My God! Look! Shi Yu went to town and actually... actually bought a pregnant sow!"
"Not only that, there are also two old hens!"
One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.
The islanders were in an uproar and rushed out to see what was going on.
In those days, let alone Black Mountain Island, even in Chang'an Village at that time, only the well-off Lin Zhicheng's family owned a boar.
There are very few chicken farmers.
Everyone excitedly and curiously gathered around Shi Yu and walked with her towards her home.
Soon, a "clever" person realized something and shouted, "Shi Yu, you suddenly went to town today and bought a pig and two hens. Are you planning to give them to Shi Liu as a congratulatory gift tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Shi Yu.
I held my breath, waiting for her answer.
A meaningful smile flashed across Shi Yu's eyes.
The objective has been achieved.
She looked at the person who had suddenly asked the question, deliberately pursed her lips, smiled, and remained silent.
"Oh my god! It really is!"
"What good deeds did Madam Liu do in her past life to have such a wonderful granddaughter as Shi Yu? It's as if her ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
"It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!"
"Who says otherwise! I really envy the Shi family."
Everyone assumed that the fish had tacitly agreed, and they were filled with envy and jealousy.
This news quickly spread like wildfire to the Shi family and reached Shi Liu's ears.
"What? Shi Yu... she really prepared an old sow and two old hens for me."
Shi Liu was so startled that she dropped the pot she was holding to the ground. She stood up, and the wrinkles on her old face trembled.
"Really, really, old lady, it can't be wrong." The messenger assured her confidently, her tone somewhat envious. "You didn't see it, that old sow even had a big red flower tied to her body, so spirited and majestic."
"Older sister, you are so lucky."
"Tomorrow, you'll be the star!"
