"Hey, hey, hey, I'll do it, I'll do it."
Song Jingzhou grabbed Su Jindong, who was about to fly away with the chicken, and tiptoed forward.
Then, with a swift turn and sidestep, he grabbed the chicken standing on the pile of firewood by the neck.
As they plucked the feathers, the two chatted, and with Song Jingzhou's subtle probing, they quickly learned about Su Jindong's biggest problem.
"What's so difficult about that?"
"Isn't it just writing a self-criticism and a reflection report?"
"When I was in the army, I wrote at least ten or eight letters a year."
"I could recite this with my eyes closed."
"I'll teach you after we finish eating."
"I guarantee your instructor will be moved to tears, deeply feeling your remorse, and will immediately recall you to the team."
Song Jingzhou looked up and saw Su Jindong's admiring expression, and continued.
"At the beginning, I was just like you, straightforward and innocent. I was tricked by others and suffered a great loss. In the end, it was still my fault."
As he spoke, Song Jingzhou fabricated several "reckless and naive past events".
Su Jindong's gaze towards Song Jingzhou changed.
What began as mutual sympathy turned into admiration.
Before they'd even finished plucking the chicken feathers, the two were already so close they were practically inseparable.
Looking at his brother-in-law, who had been hostile when he first entered, but was now completely under his control and seemed to have met him too late, Song Jingzhou couldn't help but think to himself: No wonder Qingci was afraid he would be played to death, he's too naive.
Song Jingzhou truly showcased his culinary skills at dinner that evening.
Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely, and under his control, even a sense of compassion began to emerge in Li Yueniang's eyes.
After dinner, Song Jingzhou took the initiative to help Su Jindong clean up the mess before the two of them, under the guise of a conversation, went into the room shoulder to shoulder to write their self-reflection materials.
Guo Wenjing was excited all night, and after dinner she kept chattering away with Su Qingci.
Seeing that Guo Wenjing rarely looked lively, Grandma Guo waved her hand in a rare display of good temper, letting the two girls go into the room to talk on their own.
Su Qingci had noticed something at the dinner table and immediately pulled Guo Wenjing aside to ask her about it as soon as she entered her room.
"Wenjing, you and my brother?"
Su Qingci smiled enigmatically and touched her two index fingers together in the air.
Guo Wenjing's face flushed red instantly. "Qingci, don't talk nonsense."
Under Su Qingci's persistent questioning, Guo Wenjing finally revealed the truth hesitantly.
It turned out that Grandma Guo fainted again on the very day she woke up. When she woke up again, she saw Wenjing crying hysterically by the bedside. She was afraid that she might not make it through this ordeal, and her mind was filled with the words Li Yueniang had said.
Outsiders say Wenjing has a tough fate, that she brings bad luck to her family, they bully her, insult her, and say that she has a family history of not being able to have sons.
Grandma Guo held on to her last breath, determined to make sure she was settled before she died.
Although she didn't like Su Jindong, Wenjing did.
Besides, there was no other way at the time, so they could only pull Su Jindong, who was surrounded by them, and explain intermittently.
"Jin, Jin Dong, if Grandma Guo passes away, Wenjing will be all alone in this world."
"Grandma Guo is entrusting Wenjing to you. You must take good care of Wenjing and make sure no one bullies her."
"Those rumors outside are just people spreading nonsense. Wenjing is innocent..."
Grandma Guo shakily took the two people's hands together.
Guo Wenjing was both embarrassed and anxious, while Su Jindong was completely bewildered, unable to understand what was going on.
He turned back and looked at Li Yueniang with a puzzled expression. Li Yueniang glared at him.
"Why are you looking at me? Your Grandma Guo said she's entrusting Wenjing to you and wants you to take good care of her from now on."
Su Jindong trembled at the shout, his mind a complete mess. "Okay, okay, Grandma Guo, I promise I will take good care of Wenjing."
So, because of the two old ladies' antics, Guo Wenjing thought she was different from Su Jindong.
Tonight, she even affectionately served food to Su Jindong.
Su Jindong still doesn't understand what it means. He always thought that Grandma Guo was afraid that something might happen to her and that her granddaughter would be bullied if she were left alone in the world.
So he asked his older neighbor to keep an eye on him.
Li Yueniang pretended to be ignorant, and since she liked Guo Wenjing, she also wanted the two young people to get to know each other better, hoping that the idiot would finally see the light.
After Grandma Guo realized she was alright, she instantly regretted her decision. She became increasingly angry at Su Jindong, that simpleton.
But her own granddaughter was secretly overjoyed, even revealing a girlish charm and lively expression that she had never seen before.
At this point, Grandma Guo finally understood a principle.
Looks, intelligence, and many other good qualities are not necessarily hereditary, but stubbornness and being love-struck are definitely hereditary.
She was one back then, then her daughter was one, and now her granddaughter is one too.
No wonder the old folks used to always scold them as "money-losing girls."
If something is worthless, isn't that the same as losing money? Right now, isn't this exactly what losing money means?
He could initially console himself by saying that compared to the average person, that hillbilly was already quite outstanding.
But now that Su Qingci has brought back Song Jingzhou, Grandma Guo feels like she's been ripped off.
Seeing Guo Wenjing shyly lowering her head and tugging at the hem of her clothes, Su Qingci quickly asked her.
"So what did my brother say to Grandma Guo back then?"
He told my grandma not to worry, that with him around, no one could bully me.
A complex emotion flashed in Su Qingci's eyes. The original owner of this body was best friends with Guo Wenjing.
