Chapter 4 The Poisonous Woman
A semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of Wan Qiqi's eyes, and the wild water celery in her hand was marked in color.
[Ding! The wild water celery weighs less than one ounce and cannot be sold!]
"..." Wan Qiqi rolled her eyes.
But she quickly realized that she seemed to have a legendary cheat code?
To verify its authenticity, she looked at the wild water celery marked with colors by the riverbank, walked over, and picked two more stalks.
[Ding! Two ounces of wild water celery, valued at 2 coins. Want to sell?]
【yes!】
As Wan Qiqi answered, the wild water celery in her hand appeared out of thin air, and a message popped up on the page in front of her.
[You have obtained 2 copper coins. Do you wish to open the shop?]
shopping mall?
【Yes!】Wan Qiqi was curious: What can I buy in the system's shop? What can I buy with two coins?
The page flips to reveal a trading market. In the upper left corner of the market, there is a copper coin symbol with the number "2" displayed on it.
Wan Qiqi glanced at it; the online store was similar to Taobao, with various categories of goods and prices listed.
After searching for a long time, she finally found something in the finished product section that she could buy for 2 coins: two white steamed buns or a small meat bun.
Wan Qiqi chose the former, since the meat bun looked small and not enough to fill her stomach.
When Wan Qiqi found herself with two extra steamed buns, she felt like she was dreaming.
But whether it's true or not, let's eat it first!
I almost choked to death because I ate too fast. I had to change the water after picking water celery to calm myself down.
With the intake of food and water, Wan Qiqi finally felt her stomach was comfortable and gradually regained her strength. However, she still felt uncomfortable inside her body and would cough from time to time.
She recalled a news report she had seen about a person who was rescued from drowning but died from a lung infection.
Having roughly figured out how to use the system mall, she quickly located the antibiotics in the mall for 23 coins, prioritizing saving her own life!
September is not the season for eating water celery, as the wild water celery has already flowered and tastes bad, so the villagers prefer to go up the mountain to dig for other wild vegetables.
In no time, Wan Qiqi had a large bunch of wild water celery in her hand.
She drifted further and further away from the riverbank, while the surging river drew ever closer.
Just then, a shrill female voice rang out across half the sky.
"Which heartless bastard picked wild celery? Didn't they know it could kill someone if they ate it?!"
Wan Qiqi thought to herself: Who's being nosy? Do they think she's stupid enough to not be able to tell the difference between wild celery and water celery?
Looking up, I saw a plump woman standing at the riverbank, hands on her hips, looking every bit the shrew about to start a tirade.
"Oh my! The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family! She's still alive!"
She spoke in a sarcastic tone, her voice extremely loud, as if she were afraid others wouldn't hear her.
Wan Qiqi quickly searched her memory for information about this person; in fact, she didn't need to search at all, she knew it just by thinking about it.
This person is Aunt Zhao, who lives next door to the Chen family. She and Wan Qiqi don't get along and often quarrel over trivial matters.
Unfortunately, the original owner of this body came from a well-off family, had more experience, and was also good at talking. This time, she made Aunt Zhao lose face.
This time, Wan Qiqi was kicked out of her parents' home and even accidentally fell into the water and almost drowned, which made Aunt Zhao feel relieved!
She only regretted that Wan Qiqi hadn't drowned, which would have saved her from a menace and allowed the village to finally be peaceful!
Seeing Wan Qiqi now, she couldn't help but want to scold her a few times to vent her anger.
Thinking this, Aunt Zhao opened her mouth and shouted, "Come quickly! That heartless Chen family's eldest daughter-in-law, she's not dead herself, but she wants to take the poisonous wild celery back to poison the Chen family!"
When the villagers who had initially gathered in the Chen family's courtyard heard the shouts, they came out of their houses one by one and craned their necks to watch the show.
Some people went to the riverbank and started gossiping.
"That poisonous woman, Wan Qiqi! The Chen family kindly rescued her, yet she still plotted to poison the Chen family. She's truly despicable!"
"What else wouldn't she do? She probably thinks that if she's not having a good time, she doesn't want the Chen family to have a good time either."
"Alas, I don't know what sins the Chen family committed to marry such a vicious woman."
...
Did I eat your rice? Why are you making such a fuss?
Wan Qiqi couldn't understand how these people, who clearly couldn't afford to eat, still had the leisure to meddle in other people's business.
People in the countryside are indeed very talkative!
Wan Qiqi straightened up, glanced at the people on the bank, walked from the riverbank to the shore, and threw the wild water celery in front of Aunt Zhao. "Aunt Zhao, you've lived for over twenty years, and you still can't tell the difference between water celery and wild celery?"
