Chapter 55 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord

Shen Zhi was angered by Jiang Dongsheng's naive and shameless remarks, and started to kick around without caring about anything.

Jiang Dongsheng has been doing farm work for many years, and his palms are rough and frizzy. Jiang Dongsheng groaned when he was kicked. He did not control the strength well, and the hard rope rubbed against Shen Zhi's delicate instep, causing pain.

Shen Zhi shouted briefly.

Jiang Dongsheng quickly let go of his hand, and Shen Zhi took the opportunity to retract his foot. Shen Zhi felt a little pain when he touched it.

It was too dark to see clearly, and I couldn't help but wonder if my feet were rubbed raw by Jiang Dongsheng's rough hands.

Jiang Dongsheng crawled over and knelt at Shen Zhi's feet, frowning and drooping his eyes, and apologized nervously: "Wife, I'm sorry, I hurt you."

Shen Zhi ignored him, lifted his feet and walked to the window, using the moonlight to see where on his body he was hurt by this idiot.

The moonlight was bright, shining on the instep of the foot as if covered by a layer of gauze, making it look even colder and whiter. A red mark was scratched on the delicate and narrow instep, and Shen Zhi was so angry that his mouth was curled.

This idiot doesn't listen at all, which makes him so angry.

Jiang Dongsheng also saw it, holding Shen Zhi's feet with both hands, and carefully leaned over to blow gently, saying flatteringly: "Wife, I'll blow on you and it won't hurt, huhuhuhu..."

The warm air blowing on the feet did relieve a lot of pain. The feet were wearing shoes when stepping on the ground. No matter how much Shen Zhi thought that he was cleaner than the country people because he came from the city, he had to admit that feet were generally dirty.

No one had ever held Shen Zhi's feet like this, so carefully and cautiously as if they were holding some precious treasure.

Shen Zhi's ears felt a little hot. This idiot didn't mind the dirt.

Shen Zhi moved his feet, Jiang Dongsheng stopped and looked up at him, "Wife, are you still in pain? Don't be afraid, I'll blow you again. I'm strong and I can blow you all night long."

Shen Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he stopped her, "No need, you don't mind it being dirty."

Jiang Dongsheng laughed foolishly, held Shen Zhi's feet and kissed them twice, then shook his head and denied, "Not dirty, not dirty. My wife is a rich lady from the city, and her feet are fragrant."

Jiang Dongsheng's flattering words just hit the most secret part of Shen Zhi's heart. What he came from the city was different from others. Shen Zhi was very pleased with Jiang Dongsheng's flattery. He kicked Jiang Dongsheng in the face and let him go, "Go to sleep!"

Shen Zhi crawled back into the quilt, covered his head, and couldn't help but smile.

This fool is not that stupid. He is quite good at talking.

The soft touch flashed across Jiang Dongsheng's face in an instant. Jiang Dongsheng carefully touched his own face and couldn't help but smile foolishly. His wife's feet were indeed very fragrant. Jiang Dongsheng felt that his face was as fragrant and tender as his wife's feet.

Jiang Dongsheng looked at the small hillock on the bed in a daze, it felt as sweet as honey. His wife was so pretty and lovely. It would be great if he could kiss her little hand one day.

Jiang Dongsheng fell asleep with this beautiful wish in mind. He slept very uneasily at night, running and flying. Many people were chasing him. When he was exhausted, an old man with a white beard appeared.

Jiang Dongsheng panted and asked the old man in confusion: "Why are they chasing me?"

The old man looked at him steadily, and remained silent for a long time before saying, "You have something they want."

Jiang Dongsheng wiped his sweat in shock, "Are they going to steal my wife?"

Why do so many people care about his wife?

Jiang Dongsheng wanted to run away with his wife in his arms, but when he looked around, he found that she was nowhere to be found.

"Wife, wife, wife..." Jiang Dongsheng frowned and shouted at the top of his voice, waking up Shen Zhi who was sleeping.

It was still cold in the early morning. Shen Zhi burrowed deeper into the quilt in a daze, trying to block out the sound of Jiang Dongsheng, who was in a state of terror, shouting and yelling. Unfortunately, Jiang Dongsheng was too strong and the earthen kang was shaking.

Shen Zhi couldn't stand it any longer and yelled, "Jiang Dongsheng!"

Jiang Dongsheng opened his eyes immediately, sweat dripping from his eyes. His wide-open eyes were still unfocused and he looked a little silly. He held one of Shen Zhi's feet in each hand, put them against his face, one on the left and one on the right, and rubbed them hard before he became a little more sober.

Shen Zhi couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he kicked Jiang Dongsheng's face hard to make him spread his legs, and his beard was untidy and prickly.

Jiang Dongsheng let go of her hand guiltily and explained in a low voice: "Wife, I was worried that your feet would be cold."

Shen Zhi was weak and his feet were as cold as ice every night. Sometimes he was woken up by the cold. But he slept very well last night, so Shen Zhi did not argue with Jiang Dongsheng.

Shen Zhi got up, got dressed, took his toothbrush and cup and went to the sink in the yard to brush his teeth.

Jiang Dongsheng followed with a willow branch and pretended to brush his teeth. He didn't like brushing his teeth because the branch made his mouth hurt, but his wife thought he didn't like to be clean. Jiang Dongsheng didn't dare to use his wife's toothpaste and toothbrush, so he went to ask Jiang Nian.

Jiang Nian gave half of the willow branches he had prepared to Jiang Dongsheng, saying that if he used them to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth more often, his mouth would no longer smell bad.

So, Jiang Dongsheng has been following Shen Zhishua since he got married until now.

Jiang Dongsheng wiped his mouth after brushing it, and watched Shen Zhi rinse her mouth. When Shen Zhi finished, Jiang Dongsheng went to smell Shen Zhi's mouth, "Wife, your mouth smells so good."

Shen Zhi couldn't help but curl up his lips, holding the toothpaste and waving it in front of Jiang Dongsheng, "You want to use it too? A tube of toothpaste is 1.2 yuan."

Jiang Dongsheng didn't know that a small piece of toothpaste was so expensive that it could buy many eggs. He shook his head as he listened to Shen Zhi's words, "I don't need it. I give it to my wife. When she runs out of it, I will buy more for her so that she can smell good every day."

Jiang Dongsheng's words did not please Shen Zhi, but made Shen Zhi think of something bad. Shen Zhi asked, "Where do you have the money to buy it for me?" He told Jiang Dongsheng very cautiously, "The betrothal money will be all mine if you give it to me. I won't give you a penny."

Why would he ask for his wife's money? Jiang Dongsheng quickly assured him, "I don't need my wife's money. I can hunt and catch rabbits and wild boars and sell them for money."

Only then did Shen Zhi let down his guard.

"Brother, sister-in-law, it's time for dinner." Jiang Nian, who had just come out of the west room, looked at Jiang Dongsheng and Shen Zhi quarreling. The scene was so harmonious that it was dazzling, and he couldn't help but make a noise to disturb them.

Shen Zhi hurriedly passed by Jiang Nian, muttering to himself, one was black and the other was white, one was a muscular and rough man and the other was a delicate and reserved teacher, they looked completely different.

Why think about these things? Shen Zhi shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and went to the kitchen to eat.

Jiang Nian felt Shen Zhi's gaze froze for a moment, then he felt disappointed when he saw him look away. If he had saved more money at the beginning, the one marrying Shen Zhi now would not be his eldest brother.

Qi Wenyan, who looked sick, came out from behind Jiang Nian and asked, "Brother Nian, what are you doing standing here?"

Jiang Nian suddenly recalled the past. He couldn't marry Shen Zhi and Qi Wenyan couldn't get rid of the relationship. After all, Jiang Nian was a scholar and couldn't do such a shameful thing as losing his temper. He could only respond coldly: "Nothing."

So I went to the kitchen to eat.

Seeing Jiang Nian's attitude, Qi Wenyan thought that he had tried to warm Jiang Nian's heart for twenty years in his last life but failed, and had wasted his sincerity. He would not be stupid again in this life.

Qi Wenyan dragged his heavy body and followed.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, all members of the Jiang family were present. In the morning, each person had a bowl of vegetable porridge. In order to give them strength to work, Li Cuijuan sprinkled some salt in each person's bowl.

She didn't give any salt to herself and Jiang Guishan. Li Cuijuan lived a frugal life, and she and her old man didn't work so they didn't waste salt.

Shen Zhi was delicate and afraid of burns, so Li Cuijuan gave him a spoon to drink from. Because Shen Zhi was an educated youth who had come from the city and had not yet started working, he entered the Chiang family, so everyone in the Chiang family treated Shen Zhi as a child.

There were no delicious vegetables in the porridge, just a few cabbage shreds and the rest were cabbage bunches. However, they still ate it with gusto. Vegetables were also a rare thing. Just ask which family would have vegetables to eat in the morning.

They not only had to eat thin porridge and work with a belly full of water, but the living conditions of the Jiang family were considered good in the village.

Shen Zhi picked the dishes from the bowl and ate them. The juicy dishes made his throat and stomach feel relaxed. Shen Zhi liked to eat the best dishes first.

Li Cuijuan got up early in the morning to cook, and the porridge was almost warm. Jiang Dongsheng picked up the bowl and drank it in just two or three mouthfuls.

Qi Wenyan sat next to Jiang Nian and drank porridge from a bowl. The light salty taste and the food made her feel warm. Eating the hot rice also made her feel better.

Soon, Qi Wenyan's good mood disappeared.

"Sister-in-law," Jiang Nian ate his meal as elegantly as the others, with half of the bowl still full, "I still have a lot of food in my bowl, give it to you."

Jiang Dongsheng stared blankly at the empty bowl in his hand, turned his head and saw his wife eating happily. It was over, he didn't leave any for her. Jiang Dongsheng's mood suddenly became low, thinking that his wife must dislike him.

"Wife..." Jiang Dongsheng looked at Shen Zhi eagerly and called out weakly.

Shen Zhi looked up and saw the bowl that Jiang Nian pushed over to him. He didn't have the habit of eating other people's leftovers.

"No, just eat it," Shen Zhi refused directly.

Jiang Nian smiled, afraid that Shen Zhi would feel embarrassed, "It's okay, sister-in-law, it's not hard for me to teach, you're not well yet, so eat more."

Jiang Dongsheng didn't care whether his wife liked him or not. Now he just wanted his wife to eat better, so he also advised, "Wife, if you like it, eat more."

Shen Zhi was so annoyed that he said he didn't want to eat anymore. He turned around and pinched Jiang Dongsheng's arm, "You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?"

Jiang Dongsheng bared his teeth and hid his head in his hands, and quickly denied it: "No, no, I heard it, I heard it."

It was unclear who Shen Zhi was scolding, and Jiang Nian looked a little embarrassed.

Qi Wenyan looked at the food in Jiang Nian's bowl with greedy eyes and whispered, "Brother Nian, give it to me."

Jiang Nian paused as he was pulling back the bowl. He hadn't eaten vegetables for a long time, but Qi Wenyan had asked for it, so it would be wrong not to give any to his wife. So Jiang Nian gave all the vegetables in the bowl to Qi Wenyan.

Li Cuijuan still felt sorry for her son, "Second brother, save some for yourself, one bowl for each of you."

Jiang Nian smiled when he heard this, "It's okay, Mom. The weather is good today and it's time to go to work. Let Wen Yan eat more, he still has work to do."

Li Cuijuan thought about it and realized that this made sense, so she didn't say anything more.

Unexpectedly, Qi Wenyan spoke again: "Mom, I fell into the water yesterday and maybe I caught a cold. I have a terrible headache and can't work."

In his previous life, he worked hard for the Jiang family, but he was still not as popular as Shen Zhi, who was lazy and good at doing things. In this case, he would not do those thankless jobs.

Whoever wants to work with the twelve acres of land can do it. Qi Wenyan made up his mind that he would live the same life as Shen Zhi did in his previous life, enjoying happiness without suffering.

Qi Wenyan's words caused surprise to the two elders of the Jiang family. Li Cuijuan looked at Qi Wenyan's pale face in confusion. No one in the village would stop working after sneezing.

Could it be that Qi Wenyan was really captured by a water ghost yesterday?

Jiang Nian couldn't hold back his smile. He was an educated man and a respectable man. He wouldn't really let the sick Qi Wenyan do the hard labor. He could only take the responsibility on himself. "Mom, I have fewer classes today. I can just come back early to harvest the corn. It won't delay you."

Qi Wenyan was a little happy. It turned out that Jiang Nian would protect him.

It's a pity that there is no going back in this life. If Jiang Nian tries to redeem himself in the future, he will never forgive him. Qi Wenyan recalled the surprise she felt when she first saw Jiang Nian, and couldn't help but sigh. Their fate had finally come to an end.

Li Cuijuan was a little unhappy. Could it be that after Qi Wenyan married into their family, she felt that their family couldn't get rid of him and had a place to go, so she was lazy? Li Cuijuan thought so, so she knocked on the door and said, "Hurry up and collect the money from the corn sale. We haven't paid back the money we lent to Wenyan's father to fill the hole."

Qi Wenyan's face turned pale. He was so excited about his new life that he forgot that his gambling father who was beaten to death in his previous life was still alive, a blood-sucking leech with a bottomless abyss.

"Mom, I will start working tomorrow," Qi Wenyan promised hurriedly.

Li Cuijuan looked better now.

Jiang Guishan finished his meal and put down his bowl. He said to Jiang Dongsheng, "After you finish your own work, go help your brother. One of them teaches, and the other is weak and slow at work. You can help them harvest the crops."

"Dad, I understand," Jiang Dongsheng agreed to this little thing.

Jiang Nian was embarrassed to bother Jiang Dongsheng, "Dad..."

Jiang Guishan waved his hands and said, "Second brother, the money from the sale should be shared with the eldest brother. Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. It's not good to ask others to help you for nothing."

Jiang Nian was speechless, and nodded in response: "Okay, I understand."

Qi Wenyan bit her lip. Why did he have to pay his family member for helping to harvest corn? It was so inhumane. If he had known, he would have harvested it himself.

Li Cuijuan saw that the old man and his wife had a good relationship, and thought about nurturing their relationship.

Li Cuijuan looked at Shen Zhi lovingly and suggested, "Xiao Zhi, why don't you go to the fields with the boss today."

Shen Zhi didn't understand why he had been lying at home and hadn't been out of the field for half a month since he got married to Jiang Dongsheng, and today Li Cuijuan suddenly asked him to go out of the field before Shen Zhi had time to say anything.

Jiang Dongsheng stood in front of Shen Zhi like a hen protecting her chicks, and said nervously, "Mother, don't let my wife work. No matter how much food I give her, she won't be able to work."

Jiang Dongsheng thought that after Li Cuijuan asked Qi Wenyan to work in the fields, she disliked Shen Zhi and asked him to go to the fields as well. His wife was as white and tender as a peeled egg. She couldn't even be exposed to the sun, so how could he go to the fields?

Li Cuijuan was so happy that she cried. Her eldest son was not stupid, but he really loved his wife. She pretended to be angry and hit Jiang Dongsheng, "What are you thinking? Who would be willing to let your wife work? I saw that he just fell into the water yesterday, so I let him go out with you to bask in the sun to get rid of the moisture."

"Oh," Jiang Dongsheng touched the back of his head embarrassedly.

He misunderstood.

Shen Zhi looked at Jiang Dongsheng's awkward look and thought, even a fool knows how to embarrass himself.

"Mom will bring you lunch at noon," Li Cuijuan smiled as she looked at the eldest brother's shy face, who looked like a bear.

Qi Wenyan almost broke the chopsticks. He thought Jiang Nian loved him, but it turned out that he was worse than a fool. A fool knew not to let his wife work, but he was actually complacent about working one more day for Jiang Nian.

Qi Wenyan thought that he was really stupid.

And Li Cuijuan was extremely partial to the boss. She delivered meals to him, and he had been doing this for so many days, and he always had to walk two miles back to eat.

Why? Why should he suffer this kind of injustice?

"Of course it's because Jiang Dongsheng is the son of the world. Everyone in the world will be kind to him involuntarily. People around him will be affected by his luck and will also be treated leniently."

"In short, the more Jiang Dongsheng likes someone, the better that person's life will be," the system cruelly reveals the truth.

This did not defeat Qi Wenyan but instead aroused his ambition, "If Jiang Dongsheng falls in love with me, then I should..."

The system knows it well, "Naturally, you will be favored by the world's consciousness, and everyone will be nice to you."

Qi Wenyan sneered, he must get Jiang Dongsheng, he is just a fool, but he doesn't take him seriously, then he will enjoy everything that Shen Zhi has now.

"System, what should I do?" He would no longer sit and wait to be bullied.

The system looked at Qi Wenyan, who was overwhelmed by jealousy, and said slowly: "Host, you still have one point to use."

Qi Wenyan pulled up a smile.

After finishing his breakfast in the morning, Shen Zhi packed up and planned to go to the field with Jiang Dongsheng. It was not that he wanted to accompany Jiang Dongsheng, but he wanted to go out and take a look at how to get to the place where he could mail the letter.

Since his mother died, his father remarried a stepmother, and he became increasingly miserable at home. According to his family's conditions, he did not have to go to the countryside as an educated youth, but Shen Zhi was still instigated by his stepmother to come here.

Shen Zhi thought that his grandparents must be worried about him since they hadn't seen him for such a long time, so he planned to send a letter.

"Wife, I'll wait for you outside," Jiang Dongsheng called out from outside.

Shen Zhi ignored him. He was afraid of the cold, so today was a sunny and windless day, so he put on an extra layer of clothes and went out of the house.

Shen Zhi bumped into Qi Wenyan head-on. He had a bad relationship with Qi Wenyan, the sister-in-law. He tried to pass by her but was stopped by Qi Wenyan.

"Xiao Zhi, do you like big brother?" Qi Wenyan lowered his head and blocked Shen Zhi's way.

Confused, Shen Zhi had no intention of paying any attention to Qi Wenyan, who had been acting strangely since he fell into the water.

Qi Wenyan raised his head at this time, his dry dead fish eyes revealed a stubbornness, "Xiaozhi, do you like big brother, that idiot?"

"The truth card has taken effect," a mechanical voice suddenly rang in Qi Wenyan's mind.

Shen Zhidun stopped and answered as if he was deceived, "I don't... like it."

Qi Wenyan smiled strangely when she heard Shen Zhi's answer. The next second, Jiang Dongsheng's voice rang out, "Wife, I'll dig out an egg for you. Eat it when you're hungry."

Shen Zhi came back to his senses instantly, pursed his lips and looked at Jiang Dongsheng who walked into the yard.

Qi Wenyan looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, then quietly left after completing his mission.

Jiang Dongsheng was unaware and walked towards the chicken fence.

The tall figure lowered its shadow and instantly covered most of the place. There were a total of five chickens in the fence, one male and four females.

Only one egg is laid every day.

Jiang Dongsheng reached out to grab it, and the hen opened its pea-sized eyes and jumped up with force.

"Help! A bear is coming!" System 529 screamed at the top of its lungs, and all the sounds it made were "cluck, cluck, cluck."

System 529 was in tears. It originally wanted to quickly take back Shen Zhi's spiritual power, but who would have thought that it was too anxious and ended up becoming the protagonist's raised chicken.

There are four hens in total, and the only big rooster has taken a fancy to me and insisted on laying eggs with me. System 529 decisively rejected it and tried hard to lay eggs every day. My butt hurt from laying eggs one a day.

Even so, the other three hens were jealous of her.

The system did not dare to leave. It detected signals from other systems here and suspected that there were systems that had defected from another world. This was serious because most of the defected systems had their own consciousness and were not satisfied with serving the host.

If one wants to seize luck and become the master himself, it is very likely to cause chaos in the small world. The system detected by 529 is much more advanced than it, and it has no idea where the defected system is.

The system can only sit back and wait, and be a good henchman. Every time the system thinks of this, it feels that life is hopeless.

The system fluttered for a while and realized that the one taking the eggs was not the bear but the protagonist of the small world. The system calmed down and let the protagonist take the eggs. After all, they were for its own host to eat, so it was not a loss.

After Jiang Dongsheng took out the eggs, he held them up to Shen Zhi to take credit for them. "Look, my wife, these eggs are so big!"

Shen Zhi saw Jiang Dongsheng's sparkling eyes and hesitated for a while before asking, "Why didn't you respond to what I said?"

Even a fool knows that nice words are different from bad words, and he will get angry.

Jiang Dongsheng thought for a long time before he remembered what Shen Zhi said. He scratched the back of his head and said with a silly smile: "No one likes fools."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi glared at Jiang Dongsheng, and kicked him again out of anger, not knowing what he was angry about.
