Chapter 58 The Second Stage of Weight Loss Begins
The cicadas chirped in the summer heat, and the midday sun grew increasingly intense, leaving the villagers drenched in sweat.
Jiang Mi and the others stayed inside to discuss the matter, sometimes sitting for several hours at a time.
Zhu Zhao peeked his little head out from under the eaves, looking at the three serious adults and listening to words he didn't understand.
Severe drought? A pipe dream?
What is this thing?
Just as Zhu Zhao was wondering...
"Thump." The little head was suddenly hit.
"Oh dear!" Zhu Zhao cried out, covering her head. When she looked up, she met Liang Lan's serious face.
"Your cousin and the others are discussing important matters with you, Zhu Feng. Go outside and have some fun. Don't disturb them here," Zhu Lianglan gently scolded Zhu Zhao.
She wondered where that rascal had been all this time; it turned out he'd come here to eavesdrop and buy things.
Zhu Zhao pouted, clutching her aching head, and complained, "Liang Lan, I've told you so many times, don't hit my head, it's making me stupid."
The village children all say he's not as smart as before; he must have been broken by Liang Lan and Zhu Feng.
Zhu Lianglan was amused and said with a smile, "With your little brain, how smart can you be? Alright, go play somewhere else and don't bother your cousin and Zhu Feng."
Fearing another blow to her head, Zhu Zhao reluctantly ran off on her short legs.
Seeing this, Zhu Lianglan glanced at the three people inside the room and went to attend to her own business.
…
inside the house.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiancheng's lips twitched uncontrollably: "Is this method really feasible?"
Why does this seem so unreliable?
Jiang Mi patted her chest and confidently assured them, "This method will definitely work!"
Many villagers are superstitious, so this method of predicting disasters through dreams can be used to warn them.
Furthermore, my maternal grandfather was the village head, and he still held considerable weight in the hearts of the villagers.
Zhu Qiancheng gritted his teeth and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll do it your way."
"Alright!" With the matter settled, Jiang Mi beamed with joy.
Because of the hot weather, the meeting was scheduled for the evening.
"Then I'll go and get back to work on the sweet potato field."
Taking advantage of this little bit of time, Jiang's mother planned to make as much as possible, just in case.
Turning to look at her daughter, who was sweating profusely, Jiang's mother took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her face, saying softly, "Go back and rest early. I'll take care of the rest. If all else fails, there are your older brother and sister-in-law. Just relax. No matter what, I won't let you go hungry. Look at you, you've gotten so thin."
After this period of recuperation, Jiang Mi has lost a significant amount of weight and looks much slimmer.
But compared to those dark-skinned and thin village women, Jiang Mi still appeared fair-skinned and plump.
Jiang Mi has delicate skin, and her mother loves her dearly but doesn't want her to do any dirty or tiring work.
Over time, she became fair-skinned and delicate, which contrasted sharply with those in the village who worked in the fields all day long, making her seem out of place.
Because of this, all the girls in the village were envious and jealous of Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi chuckled, easily taking her mother's wrist in her hands and revealing a row of bright white teeth: "Mom, it's good to be thinner, it'll be easier to move around if you're thinner."
To be honest, the recipes provided by the system were remarkably effective.
Even with just the initial adaptation, you can lose a significant amount of weight.
The system, praised by someone, suddenly chimed in: "[System products are always top-notch]".
Jiang Mi rolled her eyes when she heard this.
I almost forgot, this guy and she are of the same mind.
"Pah!" Mother Jiang spat on the ground and said fiercely, "Is there some scoundrel talking about you behind your back? Tell your mother, and I'll skin him alive."
Jiang Mu subconsciously thought that someone in the village had spoken ill of Jiang Mi, which was why Mi Tang was acting this way.
Seeing her mother's protective expression, Jiang Mi was both amused and exasperated, and quickly comforted her, "No, no! With me like this, who would dare to mess with me?"
Jiang's mother remained silent for a few seconds, staring intently at Jiang Mi.
Thinking back to Honey's rampage, it's true that no one could bully her.
"If anyone dares to bully you, you must tell me."
"good!"
After spending some time together, Jiang Mi was urged by her mother to go home and rest.
…
Country road.
Zhu Feng was being helped home by the two children, limping along.
Because of his overpowering odor, everyone avoided him and fled with their hoes during lunchtime.
Looking at the two kids with their faces bruised and swollen, Zhu Feng said with exasperation, "You two good-for-nothings! You can't even handle this little thing, making me get beaten up like this by that fat pig."
He'll remember falling into the cesspool for the rest of his life.
That fat pig, how could he be so ruthless?
Zhu Erniu looked aggrieved: "Dad, who knew that bitch Jiang Mi would cause such a big fuss, going so far as to attack us two children and even break ties with you."
She still feels a burning pain all over her body.
"Pah!" Zhu Feng spat out a mouthful of dung-filled saliva, his face full of disgust: "You're just like your mother, utterly useless. Wait till we get back and I'll teach you a lesson!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Erniu knew that she would surely be beaten by her father again when she got home.
Just as he was scolding the two children, he was suddenly blocked by four figures.
Enraged, Zhu Feng roared, cursing, "Who dares to block my way?!"
Looking up, Zhu Feng saw the menacing aura emanating from them, and he immediately cowered like a quail, stammering, "What...what do you want?"
The group remained silent, their eyes flashing with disgust as they looked at Zhu Feng, who was covered in excrement.
But since their master had given a strict order, they dared not disobey and grabbed Zhu Feng's collar tightly.
"Hey!" Zhu Feng exclaimed as he was lifted into the air.
"father!"
"Ahh!"
Soon, pitiful screams echoed across the entire field, startling the birds in the trees, leaving only heart-wrenching wails and pleas for mercy.
"Aww!"
"Heroes, spare my life! Heroes, spare my life!"
"ah!"
…
"Second Sister-in-law." As soon as Jiang Mi returned home, she went to her second sister-in-law Liang Lan, took a basket from the room and handed it to her: "Second Sister-in-law, please cook some for me for each meal during this period, as I have instructed."
The second sister-in-law usually takes care of the meals at home, and since the mother doesn't allow her to go into the kitchen, we can only trouble the second sister-in-law for the time being.
Liang Lan looked down at the basket in her hands, which contained several kinds of grass and food that she had never seen before, and asked, "Little sister, what's in this basket...?"
Jiang Mi touched her nose guiltily and chuckled, "If I boil these things into a soup, it will make me slimmer."
"No way!" Liang Lan instinctively refused, quickly pushing the basket back: "If Mother-in-law finds out, we'll both be in big trouble."
My mother-in-law has always doted on my younger sister. If she finds out that my sister-in-law is secretly helping her lose weight, she will definitely beat her with a feather duster.
"Second sister-in-law, don't tell Mother yet. I'm obese, which makes it inconvenient for me to do anything. I asked for some folk remedies in town, and I heard they are very effective, so I want to try them!"
