Just as Sun Jian was wondering what was going on, the system notification sounded again:
"Ding! The system has detected that Zhou Wan'er's favorability towards you has exceeded 20. The current value is 22. You can get one normal designated direction lottery and one rare designated direction lottery."
"Ding! The system has detected that Gu Zijian's favorability towards you has exceeded 20. The current value is 24. You can get one normal designated direction lottery and one rare designated direction lottery."
Sun Jian was stunned. When did his favorability rating skyrocket so quickly?
I seem to remember that not long ago it was only single digits?
Oh well, it's all accumulated anyway, I can't be bothered to care anymore!
I got four chances to win a prize in one go, that's amazing!
I never expected that scaring Sun Hu and the others once and then eating meat once would earn me so much goodwill. If I eat meat a few more times, wouldn't I break 100 points in no time?
Even in times of chaos, even if there are starving people everywhere, so what?
With the system in hand, what is there to fear from Sun Hu's revenge?
He'd be obliterated in a heartbeat.
"why are you laughing……"
Zhou Wan'er looked at Sun Jian with a puzzled expression.
They were almost home when, unexpectedly, her "husband" went berserk, laughing to himself in such a lewd way...
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Your husband just suddenly thought of a brilliant plan."
"Pah! You're not my husband."
"A brilliant plan? What brilliant plan?"
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
After the three returned to the dilapidated house, Chu Qingcheng immediately hugged Sun Jian, her face full of worry, and hurriedly asked her husband if he was injured or bullied.
Seeing tears welling up in the girl's eyes, Sun Jian quickly comforted her and recounted the whole story to Chu Qingcheng.
Chu Qingcheng's heart was in turmoil as she listened. On one hand, she was amazed by her husband's intelligence, but on the other hand, she was extremely worried, fearing that her husband would be tricked by those people again.
The common people should not fight against the officials; this is an age-old common sense.
If an official wants to kill someone, there are thousands of ways to do so.
This time they've completely offended Sun Hu and Sun Hao; who knows what other schemes they might have up their sleeves for in the future.
Chu Qingcheng's words were not without reason. Although Zhou Wan'er and Gu Zijian also had concerns, they had witnessed their "husband's" courage and wisdom today.
Both women knew that Sun Jian was far more complex and weak than he appeared. Coupled with his calm and confident demeanor, they didn't believe he would deliberately walk himself into a corner.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about him. He's full of tricks." Gu Zijian gently took Chu Qingcheng's hand and comforted her softly.
Zhou Wan'er looked at Sun Jian and asked, "What do we do next? If Sun Hu comes looking for trouble again, how do you plan to handle it?"
Sun Jian smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"Oh? How should we deal with it?" Zhou Wan'er asked back.
“I admit I’ve angered them this time, but they don’t dare bring up the oxen, let alone mention that I beat up Sun Hao. Because doing so would be like shooting themselves in the foot, and Sun Hu isn’t that stupid.”
“They won’t come to the village casually in the next few days, because they are more afraid than we are. So I guess if they want to cause trouble, it will definitely be during the grain requisition at the beginning of the month.”
"Requisitioning grain..."
“Oh right, my husband has married the three of us, and we have to pay 150 catties of grain every month. What are we going to do…” Chu Qingcheng paced back and forth in the room with worry.
"Don't worry, it's only 150 catties of grain. I'll give them half a year's worth at once. And I can guarantee that my family will have meat at every meal from now on!"
"What!?"
"Six months' rent upfront?"
"Will we have meat at every meal from now on?"
The three women were dumbfounded upon hearing Sun Jian's words.
Has their husband gone mad? What nonsense is he spouting?
Although they had eaten the noodles made by their husbands, which were indeed delicacies they had never tasted before, and they also saw that there was still some food left in the house, there were still more than twenty days to go!
Let alone having meat at every meal, even if they saved every penny, they wouldn't have enough grain to last them. The three of them had no means of livelihood and no land to cultivate. When it came time to collect grain, were they supposed to beg?
Even if you were to beg, it would be strange if you could even beg for food these days.
They even gave us six months' worth of military rations at once, which is 900 jin (450 kg). Where did all this food come from?
"Stop beating around the bush, tell me, what are you planning to do?" Zhou Wan'er still had that superior attitude, but her tone was noticeably softer.
Sun Jian smiled, put his finger to his lips in a "shh" gesture, and deliberately kept everyone in suspense: "Don't ask or inquire, I have my own brilliant plan!"
"Alright, let's go to sleep! Same as always, I'll sleep on the floor, and you guys sleep on the beds."
Goodnight, my wives.
After saying this, Sun Jian simply picked up the bedding that had been laid out and lay down, leaving the three women looking at each other, at a loss for what to do.
At night, the three women lay in bed, each lost in their own thoughts, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
Without exception, they all shared a common understanding: Sun Jian, who was sleeping soundly on the ground not far away, snoring loudly like a dead pig, was definitely not an ordinary person, nor was he simply a country bumpkin.
...
Late at night, inside Sun Jian's dilapidated house.
"Ding! The system has detected that Chu Qingcheng's favorability towards you has exceeded 30, and the current value is 31. You can get an epic-level lottery draw in a specific direction."
"Ding! It has been detected that the total favorability has exceeded 70. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 random attribute points and a mid-level gift pack."
Sun Jian, who was fast asleep, was awakened by the system's repeated notifications in his mind. He opened his eyes groggily, about to curse, but found Chu Qingcheng squatting beside him, gently covering him with the blanket, her eyes full of tenderness.
Sun Jian was deeply moved and gently embraced Chu Qingcheng's slender waist.
This sudden action startled Chu Qingcheng, causing her to cry out in surprise. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she involuntarily leaned forward, her soft breasts pressing against Sun Jian's lips.
A faint fragrance wafted over, and the soft, boneless touch on his arm instantly made Sun Jian feel refreshed and relaxed.
He told himself that the time was not right and he should not act recklessly, and that's how he suppressed the lust in his heart.
It must be said that the three wives he married were all exceptionally beautiful. Apart from being somewhat frail, each of them would be considered a top-tier goddess in later generations.
In the moonlight, Sun Jian could see the blush on Chu Qingcheng's cheeks.
"Husband...you're awake?"
Sun Jian nodded, gently sat up, kissed Chu Qingcheng's cheek, and said softly, "Go to sleep. I'm thinking about something at the door."
"It's windy at night, my lord, why don't you put this blanket on to avoid catching a cold..."
Every time they were in close proximity, Chu Qingcheng's heart would race, her breathing would become heavy, and she would not dare to look Sun Jian in the eye for long.
"Okay, go to sleep now."
After settling Chu Qingcheng in, Sun Jian wrapped himself in a blanket and stood in the dilapidated courtyard, muttering curses under his breath.
"System, could you please turn this off at night?"
"I was having a wet dream, and you just interrupted me."
The system ignored Sun Jian's rant and instead displayed the information again.
"Huh?"
"10 random attribute points? Intermediate gift pack?"
