Guo Tianya stood there dumbfounded, opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
At that moment, Jiang Aiguo's voice came from the middle room: "Heping, give your brother Jiang some face!"
Shen Heping snorted: "I don't know any Brother Jiang. He's so influential that he doesn't even need to show his face!"
These words forced Jiang Aiguo to put on his clothes and come out.
Seeing Guo Tianya's tearful face, he didn't say a word. With a stern face, he picked her up and carried her straight to the front yard. He kicked open the door of the middle room and threw her onto her own bedding.
Guo Tianya jumped up and started twisting and turning: "Jiang Aiguo! How could you do this?!"
Jiang Aiguo said helplessly, "Tianya, stop making a scene, okay? Don't you even know what the situation is?! Let me tell you, you absolutely mustn't offend the Su siblings! You'll regret it!"
Guo Tianya's face turned cold: "You, Jiang Aiguo! I was beaten up and you didn't even say a word to comfort me! All you did was lecture me!"
Jiang Aiguo said in a low voice, "I'm saying this for your own good, Tianya!"
"I got slapped by Su Ruyi!" Guo Tianya jumped up, pointing her pen at Jiang Aiguo's nose. "I just want one thing from you—will you help me hit her back?"
“No.” Jiang Aiguo refused decisively. “I never hit girls—no matter who they are.”
Enraged, Guo Tianya raised her hand and slapped Jiang Aiguo across the face, making a loud sound: "Fine! From this moment on, we're completely cut ties!"
"..."
After being slapped, Jiang Aiguo acted as if he hadn't heard Guo Tianya's next words. He turned around and left without saying a word, bumping into Ai Shengnan, who was leaning against the door frame watching the commotion. Ai Shengnan staggered a few steps before regaining her balance.
While the group was putting on this farce, Su Ruyi had already returned to the west room.
First, he threw away the broken lock and replaced it with a new one. Then he went inside and looked around the room.
The place was a complete mess, as if the house had been ransacked.
Although she knew the room had been ransacked, the level of disarray still exceeded her expectations.
She sighed, rolled up her sleeves, and began to tidy up.
Fortunately, the only thing she could break in her room was a thermos.
The person who rummaged through the things was utterly wicked; the thermos had been smashed on the kang (heated brick bed).
Not only were there broken thermos flasks, but the bedding was also soaked.
Fortunately, there was a soft couch and bedding in her main hall.
It took half an hour to tidy up before the room was restored to its original state.
The curtains were wet, but at least they were still intact. Su Ruyi hung the wet curtains back on the nails on the window frame.
A small pile of things that needed to be thrown away was cleared from the ground.
It was so late, she decided not to go out to throw out the trash.
Just to be on the safe side, she blocked the door with a stool.
Then, in a flash, he entered the space.
Now, she can appear anywhere in the space at any time, unlike before when she would always appear on the bed wearing shoes.
Her figure appeared at the door of her boudoir, and then she immediately went inside.
Cycas remained asleep, his face serene.
Su Ruyi took his pulse, turned him over, and moved his hands and feet.
Then, head straight to the backyard.
The backyard was still bathed in bright sunshine, and Su Ruyi was momentarily stunned.
After soaking in the hot bathtub, I finally let out a comfortable sigh.
She was on edge all day, and only after relaxing did she realize how exhausted she was.
And so, she fell asleep in the bathtub once again...
As she fell into a deep sleep, the sky in the space slowly darkened, and soon, the dark night sky was filled with stars.
Unfortunately, Su Ruyi had already fallen into a deep sleep and did not witness such a beautiful sight.
The next day was June 25th, and it was a beautiful sunny day.
Su Ruyi woke up in the bathtub, feeling refreshed.
He took a bath with practiced ease, then fed Su Tie the Marrow Cleansing Soup and moved his hands and feet around.
As she left the space, she checked her watch; it was 6:30 in the morning.
Today she was wearing that blue plaid outfit.
This outfit has a small round neck and a perfectly fitted waist, making Su Ruyi look exceptionally pretty.
Shulan is already making breakfast.
Wang Chuntao, Guo Tianya, and Ai Shengnan were all washing up.
Guo Tianya muttered, "A new outfit every day, all so flashy and glamorous, who is she trying to impress?"
However, her voice was very soft, and Su Ruyi thought for a moment and then pretended not to hear it.
The five finger marks on Guo Tianya's face had turned purple.
Su Ruyi ignored her and pulled Shulan aside, taking out twenty yuan.
"Cook for Dr. Jin for three months? Of course! Just bring his food rations. We'll only need to pay three yuan for vegetables, no need for twenty!" Shulan's eyes widened.
Su Ruyi pressed the money into her hand: "Dr. Jin is injured, and I was thinking that meat is hard to buy, so I'll give him an egg every day. But I'll need you to help me collect some eggs from the aunties and grandmas in the village! If there's any extra money, consider it for firewood. Also, if I'm not around one day, I'll need you to deliver it to Dr. Jin, okay?"
Shulan's eyes lit up instantly.
Three months, or a hundred days at most, one egg a day, that's 100 eggs. One egg costs five cents, so 100 eggs would be five yuan. Add three yuan for vegetables, and it's only eight yuan. You can easily make a net profit of twelve yuan!
Shulan nodded hurriedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "No problem! I'll gather more firewood when I have free time. I can handle this!"
As he spoke, his subordinates quickened their pace.
Breakfast was ready: a bowl of corn porridge, two cornbread buns, and a dish of pickled carrot shreds for each person.
Wang Chuntao called out, and Hu Zhenbo and Li Wang from the backyard came to bring the food.
Shulan handed two lunchboxes to Su Ruyi: "These are Dr. Jin's. There's porridge on the bottom and cornbread on top. I've poached the egg; it's under the porridge!"
Guo Tianya, who was serving food, raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "What are you doing?!"
Shulan explained, "The village doctor, Dr. Jin, broke his leg, and Ruyi discussed with me asking me to cook for him for three months. I've already paid for today's food, and we can deduct it from his later rations. Ruyi has also paid for the vegetables. If you think we used too much firewood, I'll collect more over the next few days."
Guo Tianya raised her eyebrows: "Wait a minute! I clearly heard you say something about fried eggs! What's going on?"
Ai Shengnan and Wang Chuntao also gathered around at this moment.
Shulan explained again, "The eggs were given to Dr. Jin by Ruyi to enhance his nutrition. I just exchanged them with Aunt Wang and poached them in the porridge. Ruyi paid for them!"
Wang Chuntao laughed and said, "That's right, we're also lucky enough to be able to drink congee with the flavor of poached eggs!"
Guo Tianya reached out and slammed the two lunchboxes to the ground: "No way! Did you ask me? I don't agree!"
