Chapter 56 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord

Jiang Dongsheng tried to coax people but failed to do the job.

Seeing that Shen Zhi was getting impatient, Jiang Dongsheng shut up and found a shade for Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhi unhappily kicked the soil under the big tree. There were fallen leaves and stones on it. Shen Zhi didn't want to sit on it. "It's too dirty," Shen Zhi complained.

Jiang Dongsheng leaned over and used his hands to clear a space for Shen Zhi. He took off his worn-out shirt and laid it on Shen Zhi. Jiang Dongsheng carefully smoothed the wrinkles with his hands, raised his head, and his eyes were bright and pure. "Wife, it's not dirty anymore. Sit here and take a rest."

Jiang Dongsheng worked quickly and could finish an acre of land in half a day. He was so energetic that he wore only a cotton shirt when he went out. If Li Cuijuan had not specifically instructed him to do so because she was afraid that the corn leaves would be too sticky, Jiang Dongsheng would have come over shirtless.

After taking off his clothes and laying them on the ground with Shen Zhi, Jiang Dongsheng was left with only his upper body naked.

Jiang Dongsheng worked hard all year round and developed great strength and a superior physique. His back was broad and thick, his chest was firm and strong, and his eight abdominal muscles were clearly defined.

The tall body was covered with bronze skin, glowing in the sunlight. The mature man had an indescribable charm at this moment.

Shen Zhi didn't even look at Jiang Dongsheng. He hugged his knees and stared at his toes. He was so easy to bully. It turned out that no one likes a fool.

Seeing that Shen Zhi was unwilling to pay attention to him, Jiang Dongsheng couldn't help feeling disappointed. He looked back every few steps and went downstairs reluctantly.

Jiang Dongsheng carried a backpack and walked through the cornfield parallel to his shoulders and neck. His strong and powerful hands held the corn, his biceps bulged, and the smooth muscle lines flashed by. With two "clicks", Jiang Dongsheng threw the broken corn into the backpack in a neat and tidy manner.

Jiang Dongsheng worked with both hands at the same time, and soon the backpack was full. Jiang Dongsheng then went back to the field and loaded the corn into the cart.

The sharp and slender corn leaves scratched Jiang Dongsheng's naked skin, leaving dense red marks of varying lengths. The sweat from being exposed to the sun soaked the wounds, causing a slight stinging pain.

Shen Zhi raised his head, propped up his chin and looked at the heads of people walking back and forth in the cornfield. He couldn't help but yawning, and crystal tears were squeezed to the corners of his eyes, sparkling with water.

To be fair, Jiang Dongsheng was not ugly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, high brow bones and deep eye sockets. His eyes were black and bright. When he had no expression, his black pupils gathered into ink dots, looking cold and intimidating.

Shen Zhike never thought that Jiang Dongsheng was scary. Jiang Dongsheng always had a silly smile on his face when he looked at him, and his eyes looked at him in fascination as if he was looking at a baby. He was silly and naive.

He and Jiang Nian had a good relationship for a while, but it wasn't a good one. When he first arrived in Guya Village, he couldn't stand the environment there and became sick. Jiang Nian went to school and was always asked to take care of the educated youth.

Shen Zhi had been educated and got along well with Jiang Nian. After a while, the two became familiar with each other. One day, Jiang Nian suddenly told Shen Zhi that he wanted to marry Shen Zhi. After marrying Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi would become a member of Guya Village and would not have to earn work points like the educated youth to have enough food.

Shen Zhi was born prematurely and was in poor health. He wanted to return to the city but didn't want to be burdened by the heavy farm work day after day, which eventually wore him to death.

So Shen Zhi asked for a dowry of 300 yuan, and he would marry her as long as she was accepted. There had never been such an expensive dowry in the entire Guya Village.

Chiang's father and mother couldn't come up with the money, so even if Chiang Nian took out all his own private money and added the subsidy from Chiang's father and mother, it was still not enough for 300 yuan.

Just when Shen Zhi thought they had given up, Jiang Guishan found him with 400 yuan in betrothal gifts, "My son, no one in our Guya Village has ever been given so much money to marry. We can give you this money, but you have to marry our boss."

Shen Zhi had heard that the eldest son of the village chief's family was a fool. He had seen him when he was doing farm work. That man worked like a bear, many times harder than him, and his tiger eyes looked so scary.

Shen Zhi was afraid, and Jiang Guishan repeatedly assured her that although the old man in his family was a little stupid, he had never beaten anyone. Shen Zhi accepted the betrothal gift with half belief and half doubt. It didn't matter who she married. In order to return to the city alive to punish her stepmother, Shen Zhi married a fool.

The autumn midday wind is refreshing and dry. Shen Zhi was tired from the wind, so he closed his eyes and lay down under a big tree for a nap. The tip of his nose was filled with the fragrance of soil and ripe grains, which made him feel inexplicably comfortable and relaxed.

It was unknown how long Shen Zhi slept, but when he opened his eyes in a daze, Jiang Dongsheng had already finished working an acre of land.

Jiang Dongsheng sat next to Shen Zhi, shielding him from the incoming sunlight. His bronze shoulders were tanned and shiny. Shen Zhi rubbed his eyes and saw Jiang Dongsheng fanning himself with a leaf.

"Finished?" Shen Zhi had just woken up and his voice was a little nasal, and his voice was soft as if it had a little hook.

When Jiang Dongsheng listened, his ears felt numb and his heart itched. He looked at Shen Zhi as if he could never get enough of him.

"I'm done," Jiang Dongsheng took out the baked eggs for Shen Zhi, "Wife, you should eat first, mother will bring lunch soon."

Shen Zhi didn't answer. His ears were a little red and his eyes were evasive, as if he had something to say but was unable to speak.

"What's wrong, wife?" Jiang Dongsheng looked at the egg in his hand in confusion. It was just baked and still hot, so why didn't his wife eat it? She was clearly very happy eating the eggs yesterday.

Could it be that my wife thinks the eggs are dirty? Jiang Dongsheng nodded to himself. Yes, my wife likes cleanliness so much, so she probably thinks the eggs are not washed.

The vortex river was only a mile away from here. Jiang Dongsheng stood up and said, "Wife, I'll go wash you and you can eat later."

Shen Zhi was startled by Jiang Dongsheng's sudden standing up. What was this idiot thinking? "We don't eat the skin of the eggs, why wash them?" Shen Zhi snatched the egg from Jiang Dongsheng's hand.

Shen Zhi held his balls tightly, fidgeting uncomfortably. His eyes gradually became misty and red. His voice was so small that it would be blown away by the wind if one didn't listen carefully. "I want to go to the bathroom."

Jiang Dongsheng heard Shen Zhi's request, frowned and asked in confusion, "Wife, what is a toilet?"

Shen Zhi couldn't hold it in any longer. He was already too embarrassed to say it out loud, and this idiot wouldn't understand. Shen Zhi said angrily, "I want to pee!"

Jiang Dongsheng didn't know why Shen Zhi was angry, so he quickly said "oh oh" twice to agree with Shen Zhi, looked at Shen Zhi's pretty red face, and nodded, "Wife, then you pee."

How could this fool not understand? Shen Zhi asked anxiously, "Where do you pee?"

It's all cornfields and there's no toilet at all. We can't let him relieve himself there.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't understand what Shen Zhi meant. They all found a place where no one was around to pee. Jiang Dongsheng pointed to the ground below his feet and said, "Wife, you can pee here."

"No!" Shen Zhi looked at the big tree root. How could he have the nerve to pee here? Wouldn't that be like peeing like an animal?

Jiang Dongsheng scratched his head, then thought of something, picked up Shen Zhi and dived into the cornfield, trampling out a circle of open space for Shen Zhi.

His wife is different from them, she is a city girl and shy.

"My wife is peeing here, and I see a lot of them peeing here," Jiang Dongsheng stood in the stacked cornfield and looked down at Shen Zhi who was buried in the corn.

Shen Zhi felt uncomfortable holding it in, but he still asked, "How do you know? Did you see someone pee?"

Jiang Dongsheng shook his head and denied it, and explained to Shen Zhi: "I didn't do that. I just saw people digging into the cornfield but not picking the corn. They must have sneaked in to pee."

"Who?" Shen Zhi asked. Shen Zhi had seen many people urinating anywhere when he went to the countryside. Those who could urinate in a cornfield were quite particular.

Jiang Dongsheng tried hard to recall, "There was Widow Wang, the old bachelor at the head of our village, and..."

Shen Zhi looked at Jiang Dongsheng's innocent eyes and was choked up all of a sudden. Perhaps they did not come in to pee as Jiang Dongsheng imagined.

"Don't say anymore," Shen Zhi stopped him. He was not interested in the romantic affairs of Guya Village.

Shen Zhi couldn't care less about other people. Jiang Dongsheng was too conspicuous. When Shen Zhi stood next to him to pee, he always felt like he was being watched. Shen Zhi didn't dare to let anyone stay away. What if someone broke in?

Shen Zhi commanded: "Squat down and turn your head."

Jiang Dongsheng didn't understand what was going on, but he still listened to his wife and squatted down with his back to her.

Shen Zhi couldn't hold it back any longer, he quickly untied his belt and took out his little treasure, the sound of water splashing echoed in the cornfield.

Jiang Dongsheng listened to the sound of his wife peeing. For some reason, he felt inexplicably irritated, and his heart felt like it was burning. Jiang Dongsheng turned his head unexpectedly.

Being as tall as Shen Zhi's waist, Jiang Dongsheng had a clear view of the scenery in front of him. His daughter-in-law's baby was not much like his own, small, delicate and a little pink.

There are drops of water on the top that won't fall off.

It was so cute that Jiang Dongsheng wanted to suck it with his mouth. Jiang Dongsheng realized what he was thinking and his dark face turned red. How could he eat the place where he peed?

Jiang Dongsheng's eyes turned red and dry. He swallowed his saliva subconsciously and raised his head stupidly, pointing at Shen Zhi's little baby, "Wife, it's crying."

Shen Zhi was so embarrassed that his whole body turned red and he quickly pulled up his pants. He had never been seen peeing before. It was so embarrassing!

"Jiang Dongsheng!" Shen Zhi roared.

Jiang Dongsheng saw Shen Zhisheng was angry and hugged his head tightly. As expected, a round of beating fell on Jiang Dongsheng. Jiang Dongsheng didn't feel any pain at all. His wife's strength was so weak that it was like a tickle.

Even so, Jiang Dongsheng still screamed at the top of his lungs.

My mother said that if he was beaten by his wife, he should scream loudly so that his wife would soften her heart and stop beating him.

Shen Zhi beat Jiang Dongsheng so hard that his thin white hands turned red. Only after hearing Jiang Dongsheng's screams did he feel better.

Shen Zhi looked up and saw a figure gradually approaching from a distance.

Shen Zhi was afraid that someone would come over, so he let Jiang Dongsheng go. He kicked Jiang Dongsheng and urged him, "Get out quickly."

Jiang Dongsheng followed Shen Zhi out of the cornfield dejectedly. His mind was completely occupied by his wife's little baby. It was so small and cute. He wondered if he could hold it while sleeping.

The person who came to deliver the meal today was not Li Cuijuan but Qi Wenyan.

"I was afraid that Mom would be tired from the trip, so I came to bring her food," Qi Wenyan put out a plate of corn cakes and poured three bowls of thin porridge from an iron pot.

There was just enough porridge for each person. Li Cuijuan asked Qi Wenyan to take five corn cakes. Jiang Dongsheng ate three as he had to work harder, so Qi Wenyan and Shen Zhi each had one.

Qi Wenyan deliberately didn't mention it. If you don't work, you won't be allowed to eat more. If you don't work, you will starve to death? He and Jiang Dongsheng will each have two, and Shen Zhi will probably be full after eating one.

Qi Wenyan held the bowl of porridge and stuffed corn cakes into his mouth. Li Cuijuan added a little flour to make it soft and not irritating to the teeth. It also had the aroma of corn and she finished it in just a few bites.

Qi Wenyan hurriedly took another one, and only then slowed down, eating and chatting at the same time. Qi Wenyan's eyes wandered over Jiang Dongsheng's body, which was covered with scars, not just from the corn leaves.

There were also fingernail marks, probably from Shen Zhi. Qi Wenyan poked the system and asked curiously, "Shen Zhi always beat him like that, why did Jiang Dongsheng stay with Shen Zhi after he became successful?"

The system answered all of Qi Wenyan's stupid questions, "He's just a fool. If someone treats him well, he will give away his family fortune."

Qi Wenyan hesitated and asked, "So, if I treat him better than Shen Zhi, he will be devoted to me?"

"Of course, host. If you were such a role model, how could the sons of the world in the future be attracted by Shen Zhi's brilliance?" The system flattered and unscrupulously nurtured Qi Wenyan's greed.

Qi Wenyan secretly made up his mind, "I must rescue Jiang Dongsheng from the evil hands of Shen Zhi."

The system agreed upon hearing this: "Then you will be the only salvation for the Son of the World in the future. He will always be grateful for your kindness."

Qi Wenyan instantly felt relaxed both physically and mentally. Only a good person like him could be rewarded.

"Xiao Zhi, please don't hit big brother in the future. Big brother is a flesh and blood person and he knows pain," Qi Wenyan looked at Jiang Dongsheng with heartache, the tenderness in his eyes could melt people.

Shen Zhi glanced at Qi Wenyan unhappily while chewing on a biscuit. It was no use meddling in other people's business. What did it have to do with him? Shen Zhi knew that hitting people was wrong, but it was not Qi Wenyan's fault.

Shen Zhi just can't stand someone controlling him.

Shen Zhi turned to the fool who was eating the cake with Kuku, "Hey!"

Jiang Dongsheng chewed a cake and looked at his wife. He sounded unhappy and asked in a daze, "What's wrong, wife?"

Shen Zhi pursed his lips, "Qi Wenyan told me not to hit you in the future, did you hear me?"

Jiang Dongsheng shook his head stupidly and said, "I didn't hear it." All he was thinking about was how to get his wife to agree to touch his little baby. He really liked it very much.

Qi Wenyan's face froze, but he continued, "Brother, you're already such an adult, and it's not good to be beaten by your wife and spread it out."

Jiang Dongsheng nodded and said, "Oh," "It's okay, just don't spread it out."

He needs to save face now that he has grown up, but he can't stop his wife from beating him. Wouldn't it be better if he didn't spread it? Since he has face, his wife can still beat him as she pleases.

Qi Wenyan couldn't keep his expression at all. Some people were born to have unhappy lives, so he couldn't be too sympathetic. There were actually people who liked to be beaten?

"System, some people can't even be saved. Your kindness is really taken for granted," Qi Wenyan said angrily.

The system comforted him, "If he can figure it out, he won't be a fool anymore. When you, the host, have accumulated enough points and restored the Son of the World to normal, he will know who is good to him."

Qi Wenyan's eyes flickered, and he asked doubtfully, "Can he recover?"

Seeing that Qi Wenyan was hooked, the system affirmed: "Of course, there is everything in the redemption mall."

Qi Wenyan calmed himself down. Why was he angry with a fool? Besides, Shen Zhichi would have cried for him a long time ago.

Shen Zhi rolled his eyes at Jiang Dongsheng, then curled his lips as he listened to Jiang Dongsheng's words which were obviously defending him. This fool was really stupid.

Shen Zhi took out the eggs that Jiang Dongsheng had roasted for him, peeled them, and ate them in small bites.

The biscuit in Qi Wenyan's hand lost its taste instantly, and he laughed awkwardly: "Xiao Zhi, why are you eating eggs? There are not many eggs at home, have you told mom?"

Shen Zhi stared at the small piece of egg left in his hand and froze, not because of Qi Wenyan's words, but because he remembered that he had just urinated without washing his hands, and his hands had just squeezed his little treasure.

"Wife, why don't you eat anymore?" Jiang Dongsheng came over, thinking that Shen Zhi was still imagining feeding him like last time, so he opened his mouth, took Shen Zhi's finger in, and wrapped the egg in his mouth.

Jiang Dongsheng still couldn't taste anything. He licked his lips and still felt it was sweet. He exclaimed, "It's delicious."

Shen Zhi's face suddenly turned red all the way to his neck. This idiot... is really so stupid. Why does he eat everything?

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Qi Wenyan repeated, "Xiaozhi, eggs are delicious but you can't just eat them. You have to think about your family too."

Shen Zhi was in no mood to pay attention to him, and retorted: "I can eat my chicken whenever I want."

Jiang Dongsheng heard this and nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Qi Wenyan was furious.

Shen Zhi was just looking down on Jiang Dongsheng because he could make money. Although both the eldest and second sons of the Jiang family could make money, Jiang Dongsheng actually made more money by hunting game and selling it in the city than Jiang Nian, a teacher.

Qi Wenyan called the system unwillingly, "I also make money and slap Shen Zhi in the face."

The system was speechless about Qi Wenyan always focusing on the little cannon fodder, but still agreed: "The system is dedicated to serving you."

Qi Wenyan finally felt a little more comfortable.

Qi Wenyan returned home carrying the empty meal.

Shen Zhi waited for Jiang Dongsheng to finish his farm work and went back only when the sun was about to set. When Shen Zhi came, Jiang Dongsheng always pulled the empty cart over. When he left, the cart was full of corn, so there was naturally no place for Shen Zhi to sit.

"Wife, I'll carry you on my back," Jiang Dongsheng squatted in front of Shen Zhi and motioned Shen Zhi to come up.

Shen Zhi glanced at the five or six hundred kilograms of corn on the cart and refused to let Jiang Dongsheng carry him. "I can walk back by myself."

Jiang Dongsheng was afraid that Shen Zhi would be tired out. His wife's feet were tender and would get blisters. "Wife, I..."

Jiang Dongsheng wanted to say something, but Shen Zhi didn't want to listen anymore. "Stop talking. I'll walk back."

Jiang Dongsheng saw that Shen Zhi was angry, and hesitantly said, "Then daughter-in-law, remember to tell me when you are tired, and I will carry you."

Shen Zhi reluctantly said "hmm".

Shen Zhi was fine for the first mile, but he couldn't bear it anymore. His feet were rubbed so hard in his shoes that they hurt. Shen Zhi walked dizzy and was finally carried back home by Jiang Dongsheng.

Li Cuijuan was waiting at the door. Seeing Jiang Dongsheng pulling corn and carrying someone on his back, she scolded him distressedly, "Silly boy, next time your wife is tired and can't do it, you can still pull her back by using corn as a handrail."

Only then did Jiang Dongsheng remember that the handrails of a cart could also be used as human beings.

Jiang Dongsheng smiled foolishly and scratched his head, but he felt happier to carry his wife back on his back than to let her sit on the armrest and pull her back.

In the evening, Li Cuijuan specially fried a dish. She only added a few drops of oil and a small piece of pickled radish, but it was so fragrant.

"Boss, hurry up and harvest the corn and sell it in the next two days, then go to the city to buy wheat seeds. There will be no time in two days," Jiang Guishan instructed.

Jiang Dongsheng responded solemnly, and Jiang Guishan focused his eyes on Qi Wenyan, "Second brother's wife, you will go with the eldest brother when the time comes."

Qi Wenyan nodded. He was worried that he would not have the chance to get along with Jiang Dongsheng.

Shen Zhi hesitated for a while, then said, "I want to go, too."

Facing the Jiang family's puzzled gaze, Shen Zhi explained: "I want to go to the city to send a letter to my family."

Li Cuijuan smiled and said, "Then let's go together." Li Cuijuan turned to Jiang Dongsheng and said, "Boss, buy some delicious food for your wife when the time comes."

Jiang Dongsheng chuckled and said, "I spend all my money on my wife."

Li Cuijuan looked at Jiang Dongsheng lovingly, then suddenly thought of something and asked Shen Zhi, "Xiao Zhi, is your birthday coming soon?"

Shen Zhi's hand holding the chopsticks paused and he nodded hesitantly.

Li Cuijuan smiled even more lovingly, "That means you are eighteen, you can consummate your marriage."

Jiang Nian's chopsticks fell to the ground. He picked them up under Qi Wenyan's eyes and explained absentmindedly, "My hand slipped."

Jiang Dongsheng curiously asked: "Mother, what does it mean to consummate a marriage? With whom does a wife consummate a marriage?"
