Chapter 61 The Old Bachelor Wants to Marry Shi Yu
As Guan the Cripple craned his neck to peer inside, he shouted, "Is Brother Daqiang home?"
Who is it?
Hearing the noise, Shi Daqiang came out of the house.
Upon suddenly seeing Guan the Cripple, he paused for a moment, "You want to see me?"
I was puzzled.
He had no personal relationship with this cripple Guan, so why was he suddenly looking for him?
"Come on, Brother Daqiang, I have something to tell you!"
Guan the Cripple first glanced around furtively to make sure no one was around, then pulled Shi Daqiang aside.
Then he finally spoke.
"Brother Daqiang, I'm here to ask you to arrange a marriage for me."
"Arranging a marriage?"
"Yes!" Guan the Cripple nodded excitedly. "Look at me, all these people are all alone. When I get into bed, there's no one to warm the blankets for me. It's so pitiful."
"Your daughter, Shi Yu, is quite pretty. Why don't you marry her to me?"
"Don't worry, I won't marry you for nothing. How about this... I'll give you... I'll give you two hundred yuan as a bride price, okay?"
"What?" Shi Daqiang was shocked and exclaimed instinctively, "Guan the Cripple, you're old enough to be her father!"
He wasn't too happy about being called an old cripple, saying, "So what if he's older? He knows how to care for people when he's older!"
"Besides, your daughter is such a worry. Isn't it all her fault that your wife is trying to get a divorce?"
"If you marry her to me, I will definitely keep her in check and never let her interfere in your marital affairs again."
Shi Daqiang's eyes darted around.
That damned, unfilial daughter!
He was filled with rage whenever the topic of instigating his divorce from Huang Ying came up.
So, after the initial shock, Guan the Cripple's words moved him.
Shi Daqiang gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I agree."
"But that brat is very stubborn and will definitely not listen to me."
"What's there to be afraid of!"
Guan the Cripple was initially delighted, but then his eyes darted around with ill intent.
"Let's do this..."
He pulled Shi Daqiang aside and began plotting.
However, the two were so engrossed in their plot that they completely failed to notice the sharp eyes lurking in the shadows.
Lu Yizhou.
He was carrying a bucket of water.
I had planned to leave the water at the Shi family's door and then leave, but I never expected to run into Shi Daqiang and Guan the Cripple when I passed by the old Shi family's house.
Lu Yizhou narrowed his eyes coldly, his aura growing increasingly somber.
Then, he turned and left without saying a word, his expression enigmatic.
...
The Shi family.
Clang!
A stone was thrown into the yard, making a sound.
"What is that?" Shi Yu walked out quickly and saw the stone lying quietly in the yard. Her face darkened.
Is someone looking for trouble?
Shi Yu walked over and opened the door, wanting to see what was going on.
But the area outside the gate was deserted, without a single person in sight.
On the ground, a small bucket sat quietly.
The bucket was full of water.
Shi Yu couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Who delivered this water? Who would be so kind?
"Who is it? Who brought the water?" Shi Yu looked around and called out twice, but there was no answer.
With no other option, Shi Yu had to bend down and pick up the bucket.
But the moment Shi Yu's hand touched the bucket, she suddenly sensed a familiar scent of energy.
Shi Yu paused, then immediately understood.
This water was delivered by Lu Yizhou.
His expression shifted subtly for a moment.
Then, as Shi Yu walked inside, she subconsciously snorted coldly, "Hmph! What a nice guy, always trying to please everyone!"
After helping that scheming girl, Shi Jiaojiao, he turned around and offered her help again.
Did they think they could illuminate everyone?
What else could it be but a central air conditioning system?
She doesn't care!
...
The next day, after eating and drinking his fill, Shi Yu swaggered toward Old Shi's house.
What are you doing here?
Upon seeing Shi Yu, Shi Liu's face turned green.
If it weren't for that wretched woman's instigation, why would Old Jin have had sheep dung stuffed into her mouth?
"I've come to lead my sheep!"
As she spoke, Shi Yu walked toward the dairy goat on her own.
"Shi Yu, stop right now!" Shi Liu was anxious. She tiptoed over and grabbed Shi Yu's hand. "Don't hold her hand!"
"Not allowed?" Shi Yu sneered. "What? You want to take over my sheep?"
"I……"
"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm warning you, if you really have such filthy thoughts, I'll call everyone on the island over and let them see just how thick your old face really is."
Upon hearing this, Shi Liu's eyelids twitched.
Although that was indeed her intention, the Shi family could not afford to lose face any longer.
However, she was unwilling to let Shi Yu lead the sheep away like that.
"Shi Yu, your pet has eaten a lot of food these past two days while it's been staying at my house. You should at least pay me back first, right?" Shi Liushi retorted, sticking out her neck.
"Did I ask you to take my sheep?" Shi Yu retorted. "You took the sheep to your house without permission and let it get thin from starvation. I'm already being lenient by not asking you for compensation."
"you……"
Shi Liu was rendered speechless by Shi Yu's sharp tongue. She realized that no matter what she said, she was in the wrong, so she could only glare angrily.
"Grandma!" At this moment, Shi Jiaojiao walked over.
She glanced at Shi Yu and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Let her take it if she wants. Anyway, these sheep don't produce milk anymore, so keeping them like this will only result in losses."
really!
Dairy goats were very valuable, their main purpose being to produce milk, and in those days, there was no such thing as slaughtering dairy goats.
"Um!"
Hearing her say that, Shi Liushi's mood finally improved.
To her surprise, Shi Yu gave her a meaningful look.
"Who said my dairy goats can't produce milk?"
"Um?"
As the last note faded, Shi Yu bent down and deliberately reached out and stroked it in front of the two of them.
Pfft!
The goat, now free from its taboo, gushed out a torrent of milk.
The milk flowed all over the ground, filling the air with a rich, milky aroma.
"This...this..."
Shi Liushi and Shi Jiaojiao swallowed hard, completely dumbfounded.
"See that?" Shi Yu's lips curled into a deeper sneer. "Why can't the dairy goats produce milk in your Shi family? Because you're not worthy!"
Shi Liu was extremely aggrieved, and this time, she was truly angered.
She clutched her chest with one hand, raised the other and pointed at Shi Yu's nose, so frustrated she could barely speak, "You...you..."
Too lazy to pay attention to her, Shi Yu slowly turned around, leading the sheep.
When Shi Yu saw the string of dried mustard greens hanging on the windowsill, he paused, and a faint blue light emanated from his fingertips.
Meow!
The goat suddenly bleated.
Then it suddenly changed direction, rushed towards the dried mustard greens, and with one thrust, it pinned the dried mustard greens to its head. Without pausing for a moment, the dairy goat ran straight out of the yard.
Shi Liu stared in shock.
After realizing what had happened, she was so anxious that the wrinkles on her face almost burst out. In her haste, she shoved Shi Jiaojiao hard.
"What are you waiting for? Go after them!"
This dried mustard greens is their family's staple food for a week. If they run out, they'll have to eat it with salt water.
