Seeing Lu Yunzhi's self-righteous attitude, Lu Yuncheng was so angry he gritted his teeth. If Lu Yunzhi hadn't been a soldier, he would have rushed up and beaten him up right now.
Finally, his gaze fell on the basket, and he forced out four words through gritted teeth: "I'll give you money!"
Lu Yuncheng reluctantly took out 25 yuan from his inner pocket. It was his salary that he had just received today, and it had gone into his fifth brother's pocket before he even had a chance to enjoy it.
Lu Yunzhi took the money and readily handed the basket to Lu Yuncheng, adding, "Count them yourself, aren't there 10 eggs in there?"
After carefully counting the number of baskets, Lu Yuncheng left with mixed feelings.
He slunk back home, and just as he was about to put the egg basket on the cupboard, he heard something from the bed...
Qi Ran screamed, startled, and her hand slipped, scattering the eggs all over the ground.
But he didn't have time to worry about the eggs. He rushed to the bedside and looked at Qi Ran anxiously: "Wife, what's wrong? Is your stomach upset again?"
Qi Ran's mind was replaying the system notification: he had actually had 200 points of luck deducted from his account! What on earth had happened?!
Lu Yuncheng then sighed and recounted in detail what had just happened to him.
Qi Ran was so angry that her eyes were practically spitting fire. She simply couldn't understand how there could be such shameless people as her fifth brother and sister-in-law!
Fortunately, she got the eggs back. She had saved them specifically to supplement her baby's nutrition during her pregnancy. As for the money, she would definitely get it back from that family later!
The couple then remembered the eggs they had just brought back. They turned around, cracked them open, and found the yolks spilled all over the floor. They had traded 25 yuan for not keeping a single egg!
After a sharp, piercing sound, Qi Ran fainted. Lu Yuncheng quickly carried Qi Ran in his arms and called his family to head to the county hospital.
Lu Yunzhi declined to accompany them, saying he would stay to take care of the sick Shen Qianqian.
Shen Qianqian looked at Lu Yunzhi with sparkling eyes and gave him a thumbs up. No wonder he would become a major villain in the future; he had a whole set of tricks up his sleeve when it came to scheming against the male and female leads.
They really struck gold this time; a bowl of fish soup earned them 25 yuan, plus 10 free chickens.
Egg!
Meanwhile, Qi Ran's family smashed the eggs they had worked so hard to get, which made her very happy!
Seeing Qianqian laughing happily on the bed, Lu Yunzhi's heart softened. He didn't care what others thought; he only cared about Qianqian's opinion.
He's happy when she's happy.
There was no one home at the moment; everyone except those working in the fields had been taken to the hospital by Lu Yuncheng. Shen Qianqian took two eggs from the cupboard and asked Lu Yunzhi to make two bowls of steamed egg custard.
Not long after Lu Yunzhi left, a mechanical voice suddenly popped into Shen Qianqian's mind.
[Ding-dong! Host has completed the task. Reward: one bag of rice and one recovery pill.]
pieces!]
Shen Qianqian's eyes lit up. She knew Qi Ran had a luck system, but she never expected that she would be reborn into such a world.
Even the world can have a cheat code.
She asked in her mind: [System, what's your name?]
[Female Supporting Character Upgrade System, created just for you! The host only needs to live her own little life well to reap plenty of rewards! And without paying any price!] the system replied.
This made Shen Qianqian ecstatic. With the help of the script and the system, she was determined to make Qi Ran pay the price!
The system then asked: "[Does the host need to redeem the task reward immediately, or store it in the system repository first?]"
[Library?]
[Exchange.] As soon as Shen Qianqian finished speaking, a bag of rice and a black pill appeared beside her.
pill.
She asked the system, puzzled, "[What's the use of the Recovery Pill?]"
System reply: [It can cure all diseases!]
Shen Qianqian's heart skipped a beat. Did this mean that Lu Yunzhi's hand problems and his other issues could be completely cured?
[Of course!] Sensing the host's thoughts, the system jumped out and answered: [Not only that...]
Therefore, after taking this medication, your sexual function will be significantly improved!
Shen Qianqian blushed after hearing this. On their wedding night, Lu Yunzhi had to go on a mission, and they hadn't consummated their marriage even though they had been married for almost three months.
When Lu Yunzhi carried the steamed egg custard in, he saw Shen Qianqian sitting alone on the bed, her ears red and a dark pill in her hand.
He quickly put down the steamed egg custard, reached out to feel her forehead, and only after finding that her temperature was normal did he sigh and feel relieved.
After the two finished their steamed egg custard, Shen Qianqian pulled Lu Yunzhi aside, handed him the black pill in her hand, and told him about discovering the system and the effects of the black pill.
Given Shen Qianqian's trust in Lu Yunzhi, she was certain he wouldn't have any other thoughts about her because of this, so she told him about the system without reservation.
However, she kept her rebirth a secret for the time being. She was afraid that if he found out, he would go after Qi Ran and fight him to the death.
Lu Yunzhi wasn't surprised after hearing this; he had heard many such strange things when he was in the army. However, he was worried that the system might demand some kind of price from Qianqian. After repeatedly asking and receiving the answer "no" each time, he finally felt relieved and took the black pill and swallowed it.
The black pills had a pleasant fragrance and melted in the mouth, flowing down the throat like honey water.
Watching Lu Yunzhi quickly swallow the pill, Shen Qianqian couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid I gave you poison?"
Lu Yunzhi swallowed the pill, feeling extremely hot all over. It was as if the sweetness of the pill had rekindled a feeling he hadn't had in a long time. He kissed Shen Qianqian's lips, his voice warm and ambiguous: "Even if it's poison, I'll accept it."
From the first moment he saw her, he was captivated by her. He vowed for life that no one but her would be his only love.
Marry.
The two lingered until evening, until Shen Qianqian cried out that she was hungry, at which point Lu Yunzhi reluctantly got up to cook.
He had just stepped outside when he was met by a large family returning home after a long day's work.
Old Mrs. Li and Old Mr. Lu had five sons in total. Lu Yunzhi was the youngest son, and Lu Yuncheng was the eldest. Besides them, the other three sons were Lu Yunfeng (second brother), Lu Yunchuan (third brother), and Lu Yunshan (fourth brother).
Aside from Shen Qianqian and the pregnant Qi Ran, the other three daughters-in-law of the Lu family take turns doing housework. Today, it was supposed to be the fourth sister-in-law's turn to cook, but when the eldest brother carried her to the hospital in the afternoon, he called her away as well.
Now, when the whole family comes back from work, they find that they can't even get a hot meal.
Grandma Li and Grandpa Lu were well aware of what had happened at home. It was already a good thing they hadn't started arguing; not having a hot meal was a minor matter.
The second brother, Lu Yunfeng, didn't think so. Now that the eldest brother wasn't home, he was the eldest of the four brothers, and it was only right that he should stand up and uphold justice.
