Chapter 29 Thoughtful
Su Lingyu almost wanted to vomit blood.
Is this the damn sense of fate?
Unexpectedly, doing good deeds would actually help save the villain. Su Lingyu felt terrible for a moment, and she wanted to rush to Gu Yanying and send him back to the dark and cramped cellar where he was imprisoned.
But then she thought again, it was she who notified the police station, so she was now Gu Yanying's benefactor...
[Xiao Tongzi, if I don't call the police this time, what will happen to these children? ]
The system said: [Young children are either crippled and become beggars, begging on the streets and becoming tools for money, or their useful organs are removed and they die tragically. Young girls are either sold to the mountains and forests to be married, or sold to red-light districts. As for the strong young boys, they should be sold abroad to do hard labor.]
【That Gu Yanying...】
[If you hadn't interfered this time, he would have been sold to the Snake Kingdom to work as a laborer and dig mines, where he would have suffered inhuman abuse.]
【Then I shouldn’t have gotten involved! 】
Su Lingyu was depressed.
Gu Yanying will kill her in the future, so she naturally resists him. It would be better if that guy stayed in the Snake Country for the rest of his life and never came back. Then she wouldn't have to die...
But she unexpectedly saved him.
[At least I saved his life! Do you think if I tell Gu Yanying that I am his savior, will he be grateful to me and not kill me? ]
The system voice was puzzled: [Wait, host! If you don't die in this world, how can you go home? ]
[Yes...]
[Even if you don't want to die, the plot will not let you go. You are a vicious female supporting role who is destined to die. ]
【……】
[And you called the police secretly, and told Gu Yanying that you were his savior. You also had to produce evidence and explain how you knew that the kidnapped person was locked up in the farmer's cellar by Zhou Fang. That would be even more troublesome.]
Su Lingyu: "..."
【Indeed.】
According to the plot, she can't escape the word death.
Death is not scary to her. It means that the mission is accomplished, and it also means that she can return to the real world and be herself again... Isn't going home what she has always been pursuing?
Thinking of this, Su Lingyu calmed down again.
As long as Gu Yanying doesn't torture her, and sends her to death cleanly and without pain, then isn't he the luxury ticket that sends her home?
When you think about it this way, the sinister, ferocious, yandere villain is just that.
What she didn't notice was that Huo Yan's eyes seemed thoughtful:
Do you care about Yanying?
…
After Su Lingyu had lunch, Zhao Mei brought Zhao Wu to visit.
She was holding a pot of chopped chili peppers and smiled as she entered the room: "Big sister, I know you like spicy food, so I made a pot of chopped chili peppers for you. See if you like it."
[Of course I like it, stir-fried meat with chopped peppers can go well with rice. ]
Su Lingyu glanced at the earthy brown pickle pot in her arms and said lightly, "Thank you very much. I'll give it to Aunt Zhang."
"Okay!" Zhao Mei responded loudly.
Although the girl didn't express her love for him openly, she really liked him in her heart.
After this pot of chopped peppers is finished, she will make more and send it to you!
After delivering the food to Zhang's mother in the kitchen, Zhao Mei nudged Xie Wu who was standing in the yard and asked Su Lingyu with a smile, "Big sister, what should we ask him to cook to entertain us today?"
"It's still dog crawling." Su Lingyu said lazily.
【Crawling has many benefits. It not only promotes brain differentiation, but also exercises proprioception and vestibular sense. Crawling directly on the ground is also very helpful for the development of children's sense of touch.】
The system mindlessly flatters: [Wow, host, you really know a lot! ]
【That is. 】
"Okay!" Zhao Mei agreed happily again.
Then, she coaxed Xie Wuman to crawl around the yard.
The Huo family's yard was paved with bluestone slabs, which were very smooth and could be swept clean without getting clothes dirty. But Xie Wu crawling around the yard like a puppy was not a good look.
After crawling, Su Lingyu asked Xie Wu to do forward rolls, walk on a single-plank bridge, and jump back and forth alternately in a variety of other moves.
The five-year-old child was so exhausted that he was sweating profusely and his clothes were wet.
From time to time, people passed by the Huo family's gate and saw the scene in the yard. They greeted them enthusiastically on the surface but shook their heads in their hearts.
When they walked away, they started to whisper in groups of three or four.
"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family is getting worse and worse. Not only does she bully adults, she even doesn't let go of such young children!"
"Zhao Mei is really generous. Even though her son was bullied like this, she was still happy."
"The eldest son is a fool, just used to please the Huo family."
"Huo Yan is useless, what's the point of trying to please him?"
"That doesn't mean Huo Jianguo still has energy!"
“…”
As the rumors spread, Su Lingyu's reputation became worse. He was said to be arrogant and willful, and to have done whatever he wanted... These rumors had spread throughout almost the entire military compound.
Zhao Mei was very uneasy and angry about this.
Although she couldn't understand Su Lingyu's training methods, which seemed to be just some simple movements, Zhao Wu had obvious changes in just a few days.
No matter how she called out to Xie Wu before, the child did not respond, as if he did not hear her voice.
Now when she called Xie Wu's name, although he still didn't speak easily, he would turn his head and look at her. There was a hint of doubt in his big eyes, no longer so empty and dull.
This change alone made Zhao Mei cry with joy.
The child has responded. I should be able to hear him call "Mom" again in the future, right?
Now all the benefits belong to her, but Su Lingyu has to bear the blame. Zhao Mei feels sorry for her, but she is tongue-tied and doesn't know how to express it.
Su Lingyu didn't know what Zhao Mei was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't say anything.
Whenever she thought about how she had personally rescued Gu Yanying from the devil's lair and that she could go home after she died, she would enter a Buddhist state of waiting to die and become unusually calm.
Besides, her mission was to be a vicious female supporting role, and the rumors only had one effect on her, which was...
[Xiao Tongzi, what a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect that helping others would have such benefits. I don't have to deliberately brush the daily tasks every day, and the progress bar is full in minutes! ]
[Life is just too boring, please find me some melons for me to eat. ]
The system immediately asked: [Host, whose melon do you want to eat? ]
Su Lingyu pointed with her slender white finger at a short and thin woman in a blue plaid shirt who was pointing at the Huo family yard and gossiping about other people outside the courtyard gate.
【Who is that person? It must be her. 】
On the second floor, Chen Yuxiang was standing at the window looking out. She saw a group of people pointing fingers at the Huo family and saying bad things about their daughter-in-law. She was feeling unhappy.
Suddenly she heard Su Lingyu say that she wanted to eat melon, and she immediately perked up.
When he looked at the person Su Lingyu was pointing at, he couldn't help laughing out loud and said to Huo Jianguo who was reading a newspaper behind him, "Old Huo, your daughter-in-law is going to eat melons again, and this melon is about Zhou Wanrou's mother, haha."
Huo Jianguo: “…”
For once, he became curious and walked to the window to look out.
Zhou Wanrou...isn't that the young nurse in the military hospital who is Huo Yan's second marriage partner and will replace her in the future as mentioned by the daughter-in-law?
