Chapter 262 Villa (11) - Xiao Man's Murder
The next day, Ning Shu racked her brains for a solution.
She had also observed Xiaoman's attitude towards her, and it didn't seem that bad.
Seeing Xiaoman busy in the kitchen, Ning Shu went up to her and struck up a conversation: "Xiaoman, are you cooking?"
Xiao Man was sulking because she lost a week's worth of points, but Si Zhong would definitely not allow himself to lose his temper with Ning Shu.
So she still answered very politely, "Yes."
While their attitude wasn't exactly rude, it certainly wasn't friendly.
Ning Shu didn't need her to be friendly; she just needed her to acknowledge her presence.
She saw Xiaoman picking vegetables and suddenly remembered a dish—green beans.
She remembered that eating undercooked green beans could easily cause poisoning, and wondered if this could help her avoid this problem.
He then said to Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, I want to cook a few dishes for him tomorrow to apologize. Could you buy some groceries for me and bring them over?"
Xiao Man hesitated to agree readily: "I need to ask the master before I can answer you."
Ning Shu thought that since she wanted to cook, she definitely needed Si Zhong's approval. There was nothing wrong with Xiao Man asking this question: "Okay, come find me after you've asked, and I'll give you a list."
Ning Shu couldn't leave immediately after speaking, so she had to pretend that she enjoyed cooking: "These water chestnuts need to be peeled, right? Let me help you."
When she took out a peeler to help, she found the kitchen counter was crammed with all sorts of vegetables, leaving no room for her to work.
"I'll go peel them." Ning Shu left the kitchen with the basket of horseshoes and the peeler.
But the basket accidentally bumped into the door frame, tilted, and a few horse hooves fell to the ground.
Ning Shu quickly bent down to pick them up, and just then saw one of them roll under the curtains of the French window, so she went to pull back the curtains.
Inside, they found... a trash can.
Why is it so hidden? Is it a trash can or a safe?
Shouldn't trash cans be placed in conspicuous locations? This makes them so inconvenient to use.
Ning Shu took it out and examined it carefully.
Wait, isn't this the trash can prop she gave away before?
He still kept it; she thought he had thrown it away long ago.
Why hide such a good trash can? It must be used properly to do justice to it.
Ning Shu placed the trash can next to the sofa, then sat down and began peeling the skin in front of the trash can.
After finishing the shavings, he went to Xiaoman to boast about his achievement, hoping she could grant his wish.
After Si Zhong came out, he found that the trash can he had hidden had been turned upside down and someone was still throwing trash in it.
How could he tolerate this? He immediately called Xiaoman over: "Didn't I tell you not to touch these trash cans? Do you want to quit?"
Xiao Man was completely bewildered by the questioning. When she saw the trash can on the ground, she immediately thought of Ning Shu.
But she didn't dare to say anything, and stood there with a wronged look on her face.
Ning Shu came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise. Seeing that Si Zhong had misunderstood, she quickly explained, "I used the trash can, what's wrong?"
Si Zhong felt embarrassed when he heard that Ning Shu had found it.
It's okay to wrongly accuse someone, but what's important is that it happens right in front of the person in question. How can he explain himself in a way that doesn't make him seem so foolish?
He didn't understand why he treated a trash can like that; it all seemed surreal.
Xiao Man, undeterred by the danger, spoke up: "The master doesn't allow others to use this trash can, and he even deliberately puts it in the corner..."
"Xiao Man!" Si Zhong interrupted her impatiently. Was she tired of living?
Xiao Man was speechless. Was he a pervert and wouldn't allow others to say so?
Do you think it's easy for her to earn those points? It's really tough making money and eating shit.
Ning Shu was indeed shocked. If you don't put trash in the trash can, what do you put trash in?
She couldn't really use it as a refrigerator, could she? She had no other choice at the time.
Looking at Si Zhong's ashen face, she suddenly realized that if it were him, it wasn't impossible.
Ning Shu quickly admitted her mistake: "Then I'll go and clean the trash can."
After saying that, he took the trash can and went to the bathroom.
Sizhong: "..."
Xiao Man: Oh my god!
As a result, Xiaoman had another week's worth of points deducted.
Although she harbored some resentment, Xiaoman still reported Ning Shu's request to Si Zhong for the sake of the subsequent benefits.
Si Zhong was secretly pleased to hear that Ning Shu was going to cook for him as an apology, but his face still showed a look of "I'm very unhappy".
"Since she wants to do it, let's buy it for her and see what she can come up with."
Xiao Man received the order and went to find Ning Shu.
Ning Shu had just finished her arduous task of washing the trash cans when she heard the good news: "I'll make a list for you right away, just a moment."
Her cooking skills are not very good, so she can only choose dishes that she can handle.
Of course, that target dish also needs to be added.
The list Xiaoman received included: eggs, chopped green onions, pork, green beans, potatoes, and chili peppers.
Xiao Man didn't need to ask to know what dish Ning Shu was going to make. Could he really offer this kind of dish as an apology? This apology is rather cheap.
Normally, one would need to serve nine large dishes to show sincerity.
However, Xiaoman certainly wouldn't say much, since it's a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.
She thought Si Zhong must be a masochist who liked being abused.
Xiao Man once swooned over Si Zhong's face, thinking that he was not only handsome but also had a lot of points to offer. If she could hook up with him, she could live a life of ease for the rest of her life.
But after spending only a few days together, she discovered that Si Zhong was a bit abnormal.
It's one thing for a grown man to like keeping rabbits, but he also likes to stare at their butts from time to time.
Of course, everyone has hobbies, so she initially thought it was nothing.
But the more I got to know him, the more I realized he had an eccentric personality. Not only did he act out of line, but he was also quick to anger at the slightest provocation.
Seeing him ruthlessly deal with the troublemakers who came to his door, her worldview was shaken.
There's no other reason than that their methods were so cruel as to be utterly appalling.
The key point is that after killing them, Si Zhong went back to take a shower and clean his knife, leaving her, a weak woman, to clean up the bodies.
You should know that those corpses were in a terrible state, and there was blood all over the ground.
She felt like she was going to vomit bile just looking at it, let alone having to clean it up.
She quit that very day, but a few days later she came back, begging Si Zhong to give her another chance.
Because the outside world is crueler to girls, Si Zhong is cruel to others, but he is still okay to her.
As a result, she had to clean up the bodies that hadn't been cleaned up before she could get the job back.
Finally, they halved her points as punishment for leaving.
Even with the pay cut in half, her treatment was still much better than what she received elsewhere, so she stayed.
However, she has given up her desire for Si Zhong and is now focused on being a good "cleaning lady".
Ning Shu felt she couldn't waste any more time here; she would have to leave sooner or later, so it was better to leave sooner rather than later.
What if feelings actually develop during the process?
Si Zhong had been looking forward to it ever since he learned that Ning Shu was going to cook for him.
