Chapter 75 Every member of the Shi family takes shamelessness to the extreme.
"Grandma, I have an idea. Why don't I step in tomorrow and talk to everyone about digging a well before Shi Yu does, and take over this matter?"
"You wretched girl, occupying your own land to dig a public well on the island, what are you after? Are you out of your mind? Or were you kicked by a donkey?" Shi Liu's old face was so gloomy it could drip water.
While cursing, she angrily poked Shi Jiaojiao's forehead.
Shi Jiaojiao gasped in pain, but refrained from dodging.
Then, she patiently analyzed the situation for Shi Liushi.
Lu Yizhou has already agreed to the well-digging project, and it's a must; the Shi family can't stop it.
Rather than passively occupying territory, it's better to take the initiative and seize the credit.
If the well is successfully dug, the people on the island will be eternally grateful to them. Who will remember when Shi Daqiang was divorced and when he celebrated his 66th birthday?
They regained their dignity.
And most importantly...
Although Huang Ying is divorced from Shi Daqiang, Shi Daqiang is Shi Yu's father and Shi Liushi is her grandmother, a fact she cannot deny.
When they were digging the well, they had nowhere to stay. Wouldn't it be a problem for them to stay at Shi Yu's place?
Not only did she provide them with good food and drink, but she also took over Shi Yu's home completely, seizing all her food and livestock resources.
Wouldn't their lives then be completely better from now on?
Shi Liu's eyes lit up.
This last one appealed to her.
She immediately beamed with joy, her expression changing as quickly as turning the pages of a book.
"Jiaojiao, you're so thoughtful and clever, unlike that Shiyu, who's obviously no good."
"Then I'll leave this matter to you!"
...
The next morning, before starting work, Jiang Haiwang gathered everyone under the tree, saying he had something important to discuss.
As a leading scientific researcher of this era, Lu Yizhou improved the drilling rig in just one night.
I tried it, and its cell-breaking power is amazing.
Even Shi Yu couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
After receiving the notification, she and Lu Yizhou came over, thinking that this was a good opportunity to tell everyone about digging a well.
"Jiang Haiwang, why are you in such a hurry to summon everyone?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there's good news!" Jiang Haiwang smiled, then glanced at Shi Jiaojiao standing beside him. "Go ahead and tell me!"
"good!"
Nodding, Shi Jiaojiao stepped forward, her provocative gaze sweeping across Shi Yu's face. Eager to steal the credit, she spoke quickly.
“The soil in the cellar of our old Shi family is soft, so I specially dug a communal well there.”
"In this way, we can be self-sufficient in fresh water and will no longer need to buy water."
"That would be wonderful!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu subconsciously frowned.
What happened?
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't wait to bring up the matter of digging a well with Lu Yizhou yesterday first thing this morning.
What a coincidence!
Lu Yizhou also glanced at Shi Yu subconsciously.
Soon the fish realized that this was no coincidence at all!
Because someone remembered that Lu Yizhou's well-drilling had failed before due to the drilling rig being unusable, this question was raised in public.
The improvement method that Shi Jiaojiao immediately proposed was exactly the same as what she had told Lu Yizhou before.
He also said that with Lu Yizhou's scientific research capabilities, after upgrading and improving the drilling rig according to his instructions, it would definitely meet the drilling requirements.
You can achieve water freedom without spending any money.
Everyone immediately became excited.
Now, even the expression on his face when he looked at Shi Jiaojiao changed.
The previous disdain and contempt disappeared, replaced by praise.
Seeing this, Jiang Haiwang quickly seized the opportunity and announced on the spot that he would entrust Shi Jiaojiao with the responsibility of drilling the well.
No one had any objection to this.
Shi Jiaojiao was secretly delighted.
She glanced at Shi Yu furtively, her eyebrows raised in a smug smile.
What good is Shi Yu no matter how capable he is?
In the end, didn't I still end up making a wedding dress for her?
Shi Yu gave a cold laugh.
At this moment, what could she not understand?
Not only did Shi Jiaojiao eavesdrop on her conversation with Lu Yizhou by climbing over the wall, but now she also tries to steal her credit in public.
She's really something.
Lu Yizhou's face darkened.
He despised Shi Jiaojiao's despicable behavior and was about to expose her.
Shi Yu spoke first, signaling to him with her eyes to stop Lu Yizhou's actions.
She has her own plans.
So, Shi Jiaojiao is in charge of everything?
Let's see if she has the ability.
...
Winter is coming, and the fishing moratorium will begin soon.
Since the docks didn't need that many people, some were transferred out and led by Shi Jiaojiao to carry out well drilling work.
The drilling rig was provided by Lu Yizhou.
Shi Jiaojiao originally wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Lu Yizhou.
But to her surprise, Lu Yizhou didn't give her that chance at all.
He left without a word, explaining to one of the workers how to use the drilling rig, without even glancing at her.
Shi Jiaojiao bit her lip in resentment.
Lu Yizhou had been so caring towards her before, even asking his mother to get her pig's head meat in exchange for a job. His sudden coldness must be Shi Yu's doing.
She must have told Lu Yizhou that she had taken credit for his ideas and achievements.
no!
I have to come up with a solution myself.
...
On the other side, Shi Liu led the Shi family in a grand procession toward the Shi Yu family.
So what if Huang Ying got divorced?
However, this did not hinder Shi Liu's desire to usurp the throne.
As Shi Yu and her mother's life improved, she had long been envious and had been eyeing those things for quite some time.
When the group arrived at Shi Yu's house, they found the gate locked. At that time, Shi Yu and her mother Huang Ying were at the dock.
"Mom! The door is locked, what do we do now?" Shi Dashan rubbed his hands together, his face full of anxiety.
His stomach had been rumbling for a while, and he couldn't wait to rush in and have a good meal.
Shi Liu waved her hand and said, "Smash the door open!"
"This... Mother, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Shi Daqiang glanced at Shi Liushi's expression and spoke cautiously.
“What’s wrong with that, you good-for-nothing?” Shi Liu’s face darkened, and she glared at Shi Daqiang. “Remember this, you are Shi Yu’s father. It’s not only natural for you to stay at her house.”
"Stop talking nonsense and just smash it."
"Okay!"
Shi Dashan had been waiting for these words, and he couldn't wait to turn around and pick up a large stone from the base of the wall.
Returning home, Shi Dashan raised his hand and slammed it down on the lock on the door.
Shi Daqiang moved his lips.
As cowardly as he was, having been oppressed for so long, he ultimately couldn't utter a single word of defense.
"What's going on?" The commotion was so loud that Aunt Zhang from next door couldn't help but peek out.
Her expression changed instantly.
Without the slightest hesitation, Aunt Zhang quickly locked her door and hurriedly went to inform Shi Yu.
