Chapter 62 The Fool's True Self is the Demon Lord

Since Jiang Dongsheng is willing to let Shen Zhi torture him, let Jiang Dongsheng see Shen Zhi's real life.

Shen Zhi is proud and arrogant. Being sent to the countryside as an educated youth from the city is already the limit for him. Marrying Jiang Dongsheng for the bride price will be a pain point that he cannot tell. What Qi Wenyan wants to do is to tear off Shen Zhi's fig leaf.

Shen Zhi, who was ridiculed by the educated youth, would only become more aggressive. That's why Qi Wenyan invited Shen Zhi and Jiang Dongsheng to have dinner at the educated youth's place.

When the time comes, Qi Wenyan doesn't need to tell him who the irrational Shen Zhi will vent his anger on. Jiang Dongsheng, who has been insulted, beaten and scolded, is so heartbroken that he will not have any grudges against Shen Zhi as before?

No, it won't.

Moreover, the system told Qi Wenyan that it could restore Jiang Dongsheng to normal as long as Qi Wenyan wanted.

In addition, Jiang Dongsheng, who had returned to normal, would dream every night about what Shen Zhi had done to him when he was a fool. The beatings and scoldings would be repeated and deepened in Jiang Dongsheng's memory.

Qi Wenyan's breathing became rapid. Someone who could correctly distinguish right from wrong would be easier to approach than the fool who always put Shen Zhi first in everything. Then Jiang Dongsheng would know who was the good person for him.

Jiang Dongsheng didn't need to be the villain to understand how cruelly Shen Zhi treated the foolish him.

And he will be the savior who saves Jiang Dongsheng, the kindest person. He will become the wife of the Lu family and enjoy everything that Shen Zhi had in his previous life.

The door creaked open, and Jiang Dongsheng, covered in frost, walked in. It was getting colder in late autumn, and it was about to enter early winter. In order to get through this winter safely.

These days, apart from collecting firewood and arranging supplies, Jiang Dongsheng spends the rest of his time leading people to close the mountain.

Today Jiang Dongsheng took the money and went to the city to buy things for the winter. When Shen Zhi woke up, he didn't see anyone. He thought Jiang Dongsheng would be back in the afternoon, but it was already evening and he still hadn't seen him.

Shen Zhi was not worried that Jiang Dongsheng would be in danger. He just found himself a little concerned about him. It was a slight concern that could be ignored, but it was like a spider web on his body that he couldn't touch or find, and it made him inexplicably irritated.

Shen Zhi couldn't figure out why he had such emotions, and he tried hard to control himself and not to delve into it further.

Shen Zhi closed the book, tilted his head to look at it, and scolded: "Why don't you just move the store back home?"

How much will all these bags cost? Won’t you spend your days in the future?

Jiang Dongsheng fell on the kang with the package in his hand, making a loud noise. He compared the small things that Qi Wenyan had brought over to him in the sack with each other.

"Brother," Qi Wenyan called out.

There was no response from Jiang Dongsheng. This time everything was almost done, and Jiang Dongsheng took them out one by one.

"Wife, this is maltose and sugar." Jiang Dongsheng took out the iron can, peeled a piece of candy and stuffed it into Shen Zhi's mouth. "Is it sweet?"

The sweet and sour fruit candy melted on Shen Zhi's tongue, making his mouth water. Shen Zhi's face softened due to the delicious taste, but he still couldn't help complaining, "Why buy these? Why not buy some rice and flour?"

Shen Zhi, who adapts to the local customs, also starts to think about what is the best way to live.

Jiang Dongsheng smiled foolishly, sucking the little bit of sugar on his fingertips and the saliva that was stained when Shen Zhi held the sugar in his mouth, "It's sweet, my wife likes it."

Just buy it if you like it? Jiang Dongsheng would be so rich that he would spend all his money. Shen Zhi glared at Jiang Dongsheng in anger, but at the same time he was very pleased with Jiang Dongsheng's words.

Jiang Dongsheng was so stunned by Shen Zhi's look that he swallowed his saliva subconsciously with his Adam's apple moving.

Seeing that Jiang Dongsheng was with an outsider, Shen Zhi dared to think of something messy, so he kicked Jiang Dongsheng in the face and drove Qi Wenyan away, "If you have nothing to do, get out."

Qi Wenyan didn't want to stay any longer. Jiang Dongsheng bought a wide variety of the most fashionable things. Qi Wenyan made a lot of money and invested it all in production. He was living a tight life.

In the end, he was still no match for a fool. "He hasn't returned to the Lu family yet, where did he get so much money?" Qi Wenyan secretly asked the system.

The system gave a reasonable explanation, "He hunts, and the fur and meat of the animals he hunts can be sold for a lot of money." The system made a rough estimate, "He must have earned at least 500 or 600 yuan each time he went up the mountain."

Qi Wenyan sucked in a breath of cool air and glanced at the various things on the kang that were basically useless and were all meant to please Shen Zhi. He felt like there was a fire burning in his heart, making his eyes red.

It doesn’t matter, it will all be his in the future.

Qi Wenyan walked to the door and looked back as if he sensed something. Jiang Dongsheng, who had just been kicked in the face, was not angry at all. Instead, he held Shen Zhi's feet and kissed them, making Shen Zhi laugh.

This is worse than a dog, Qi Wenyan clenched his fists.

Why did he have to be betrayed by Jiang Nian, while Shen Zhi, who married a fool, was loved and even after doing something wrong, she could still become the legitimate wife of the Lu family and live the rest of her life without worries about food and clothing.

All of this should have belonged to him, but it was taken away by Shen Zhi. It was Shen Zhi who stole his future.

Initially, his father was going to sell him to Jiang Dongsheng, and the person who was supposed to enjoy Jiang Dongsheng's service should have been him, Qi Wenyan.

The system sensed Qi Wenyan's unstable mood and spoke at the right time, "These will all belong to the host from now on. As long as the host actively completes the mission, both Jiang Dongsheng's money and people will belong to the host."

Qi Wenyan was comforted and left without looking back.

The door was closed, and the east room formed its own little world, blocking the cold wind from outside, while the heat inside made people's faces hot.

Shen Zhi retracted his feet and curled up uncomfortably, blushing and scolding: "Shameless."

Not only was Jiang Dongsheng not angry, he even wanted to hear a few more scoldings from his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law had a very nice voice, her low and melodious voice sounded like singing, especially when she scolded him softly with a crying tone, as if she wished that someone would give him his life.

The autumn clothes in late autumn were already very thick, but Jiang Dongsheng was afraid of the heat and still wore a thin shirt, which made the huge upright object under the moonlight very conspicuous.

"Jiang Dongsheng!" Shen Zhi called him shyly. All animals should hibernate during the winter, but why is this idiot getting excited instead?

After doing it for a while, when Shen Zhi's waist and legs were so sore and his hands were so weak that he couldn't even lift them, this idiot seemed to be getting into the groove, as if he had just started.

Every time Shen Zhi saw his ferocious look, he was actually a little scared.

Jiang Dongsheng squatted down quickly, trying to cover himself up and not make his wife angry, "Wife, I bought you the paint."

Jiang Dongsheng took out twice as much paint as last time and placed it in front of Shen Zhi. His wife loved painting, and he kept all the flowers she painted and cherished them very much.

Shen Zhi took it. Last time, sixteen colors cost eighty yuan. How much would he get this time?

"Don't spend money recklessly anymore." Shen Zhi never thought that there would be a day when he would feel sorry for money.

Jiang Dongsheng also bought cotton coats and trousers for the winter. All the new ones were bought for Shen Zhi. His wife was afraid of the cold, so she should wear clothes made of newly-stitched cotton, which were thick and warm.

Shen Zhi flipped through the items and found that all the food, clothing and daily necessities were bought for him. Not a single thing belonging to Jiang Dongsheng could be seen. He pursed his lips and asked, "What else did you buy?"

I have to buy myself some so he won't be so ashamed.

Jiang Dongsheng scratched his head, knocked his chin on the edge of the kang, and stared at Shen Zhi eagerly.

"I also bought rice, flour and clothes for my daughter-in-law's grandmother and grandfather for the winter." Jiang Dongsheng intuitively felt that this would make Shen Zhi happy, so he did it.

Shen Zhi was stunned. Last time, Jiang Dongsheng brought a letter from his grandfather, and he also knew his grandfather's address. He sent the betrothal money he had saved to him.

Shen Zhi didn't dare tell them where the money came from, for fear that they would worry. He was very careful in every letter he wrote, for fear that they would have bad associations. Shen Zhi gradually began to feel homesick.

My eagerness to see my grandparents suddenly cooled, and I didn't go to see them for a long time.

Jiang Dongsheng completed everything he failed to do, which made Shen Zhi feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Jiang Dongsheng, thank you," Shen Zhi asked softly, "When you are free, can you accompany me to meet them?"

Jiang Dongsheng agreed without hesitation, "Wife, you can go whenever you want."

Shen Zhi raised the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and touched Jiang Dongsheng's head, feeling a slight tingling in his palm. There was nothing to hide, and Shen Zhi felt that he could tell them the truth now.

He is doing well.

At night, Shen Zhi still lay in the same quilt with Jiang Dongsheng. The warm human heater made Shen Zhi close his eyes comfortably.

Shen Zhi felt that he was getting hotter and hotter in a half-awake state. He opened his eyes dazedly and found Jiang Dongsheng pressed against him. "Why are you bothering yourself if you don't want to sleep?"

Jiang Dongsheng drooped his eyes, lingered in the quilt, and his hot breath hit Shen Zhi's ears when he opened his mouth.

The stimulation caused the ears to tremble.

Jiang Dongsheng was young and strong at that time. He did not have to work in the fields, so all his energy was conserved. At night, he became particularly hot-tempered.

Now that Shen Zhi knew how to solve the problem, he was able to kill time by working to close the mountain during the day, but at night he couldn't control his burning thoughts and was so restless that he couldn't sleep.

His daughter-in-law has been unhappy recently, and Jiang Dongsheng doesn't dare to make her angry, so he can only hold it in until he falls asleep.

Today was different. His wife gave him a kick, and the soft and fragrant smell aroused his greed, so he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Wife, wife..." Jiang Dongsheng shouted again, begging his wife to help him.

Shen Zhi vigilantly kept a distance from Jiang Dongsheng. It had only been a few days, why was it endless? He hadn't fully recovered yet and it was in severe pain if he sat for a long time.

Shen Zhi turned his back and refused, "The vanishing cream is all used up, just bear with it."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Dongsheng got closer to the ground. His strong body with sweat didn't smell bad, but the smell of wheat from the soil was stronger. Even a fool would know to buy good things that he likes. "Wife, I...I bought it today."

Shen Zhi turned around suddenly and pinched him angrily, "How can you, a fool, have so many little ideas?"

Jiang Dongsheng felt comfortable whenever Shen Zhi squeezed him, and a muffled hum escaped from his throat, teasing Shen Zhi's ears so much that they felt hot.

Jiang Dongsheng could no longer hold on, his eyes reddened, and he begged in a low voice: "Wife, use your feet, even your feet will do."

Shen Zhi's neck instantly turned pink. How could this idiot be so...

Shen Zhi was too embarrassed to say the rest.

Shen Zhi lowered his head to avoid Jiang Dongsheng's overly eager eyes, knelt closer to him, and said vaguely: "This is the only way."

Anywhere is fine. In Jiang Dongsheng's heart, his daughter-in-law is a treasure no matter where she is.

Shen Zhi spent the night in a daze. It was only late autumn, and winter had arrived, making him even more inseparable from Jiang Dongsheng. His body temperature was too low, and he couldn't warm up even after staying out for several hours.

After some time, Qi Wenyan gave them the money and they officially separated.

Jiang Dongsheng moved the door to the outside, built a courtyard wall from the outside, and took the chickens away. Jiang Dongsheng asked his father and mother, but they didn't want them. They were satisfied as long as he and Shen Zhi could live a good life.

Qi Wenyan came to ask Shen Zhibian again whether he wanted to take Jiang Dongsheng to the educated youth site for a gathering.

Shen Zhi wasn't very familiar with them. They were all educated youth who had been sent to the countryside from the city, so it wouldn't hurt for him to go and see them.

But Jiang Dongsheng was not very willing to go.

This is strange. Jiang Dongsheng wants to stick to Shen Zhi all the time, but there is no time when he is willing to separate.

"You really aren't going?" Shen Zhi raised his hands and let Jiang Dongsheng wrap him with layers of clothes.

A light snow fell last night, and the sky was chilly and gloomy this morning. I was afraid it was going to rain again. I didn't know if Shen Zhi was overthinking it, but whenever it rained, he would always run into trouble, which made him nervous.

Jiang Dongsheng shook his head dumbly, firmly expressing his determination not to go.

Shen Zhi asked him why, but Jiang Dongsheng hesitated and refused to answer, and changed the subject abruptly, "Wife, it's going to rain outside, you should come back early."

Shen Zhi narrowed his eyes and grabbed Jiang Dongsheng's ear. What was this idiot trying to do to him?

Jiang Dongsheng looked left and right but refused to meet Shen Zhi's eyes. Jiang Dongsheng now wished he could hang his wife on his belt or hold her in his mouth. He was happy to see his wife and his heart was as sweet as honey.

The more he liked her, the more afraid Jiang Dongsheng was.

A fool will bring shame to his wife. Jiang Dongsheng didn't want to meet Shen Zhi's friends with him because he would be laughed at and make his wife sad.

Shen Zhijian really couldn't get anything out of him, so he simply stopped asking and put on his hat before leaving.

When they arrived at the educated youth point, Shen Zhi carried the venison and wild boar meat that Jiang Dongsheng had left over from hunting. There was nothing to eat in winter, and the smell of the meat Shen Zhi brought was enough to cause quite a commotion.

Ma Jing, who was wearing glasses, took the meat that Shen Zhi brought. Luo Shu was cooking, making fried eggs with cabbage and carrots.

Qi Wenyan hired them to work, and twenty dollars a month was not too low, but they used the money to buy books and daily necessities, and also sent some money home. These were brought by Qi Wenyan.

The more expensive item was the small piece of beef that Qi Wenyan brought. It was stewed into soup and the aroma wafted from far away.

"Xiao Zhi, you're here," Qi Wenyan warmly entertained Shen Zhi, and the educated youth didn't think there was anything wrong. It seemed that Qi Wenyan was the educated youth, and Shen Zhi was like an outsider.

Shen Zhi sat down, and Luo Shu fried the venison that Shen Zhi brought, and put aside a large piece of wild boar.

Shen Zhi glanced at the food on the table. It was all what he usually ate, so it wasn't anything new. Shen Zhi had a poor appetite recently, so he was willing to drink a few more sips of the fish soup that Jiang Dongsheng had caught and stewed.

Ma Jing moved the plate towards Shen Zhi, "Shen Zhi, eat quickly, Luo Shu's cooking skills are good."

Shen Zhi nodded and spoke half-heartedly.

Luo Shu took a bite of the egg and said to Shen Zhi, who was not interested, "Shen Zhi, you may not know, but my family sent me a letter saying that the policy has been relaxed and educated youth can be allowed to take the college entrance examination."

"Ma Jing and I both want to leave," Luo Shu looked up at Shen Zhi, "What do you think?"

Shen Zhi paused for a moment, then continued to pick up food as if nothing had happened. "I don't have any idea."

In Luo Shu's view, the three educated youth did not belong to Guya Village. He wanted to leave this remote and poor village. He knew that Ma Jing also had the idea of ​​leaving, but he was not sure what Shen Zhi was thinking.

Luo Shu was a little anxious. "How come you don't have any ideas? Don't you want to leave Guya Village and return to the city?"

Luo Shu's aggressive tone made the atmosphere tense.

Ma Jing advised, "Everyone has his own destiny. You can't force it. The most important thing is to live comfortably."

Qi Wenyan turned his gaze from the angry Luo Shu to Shen Zhi, and echoed: "Yes, Xiao Zhi is marrying my eldest brother, we can't let her get divorced, right?"

It is not Luo Shu's idea to rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. In his view, it is a stain for their tall educated youth to marry someone from Guya Village. It is understandable what decision Shen Zhi made when the situation was unclear.

He could obviously leave now, but he didn't understand why Shen Zhi didn't leave and instead stayed with a fool.

"Why can't we get a divorce?" Luo Shu's eyes were heavy. He would not allow one of them, the educated youth, to degenerate. "Shen Zhi, you don't really like a fool, do you?"

Luo Shu didn't want to go back to the city. When someone asked him about the whereabouts of the educated youth who traveled with him, he told them that one of them was getting married. In the end, people laughed at him and asked him why he didn't get married.

Luo Shu felt ashamed just thinking about it. He was a man of integrity and he didn't want anything to happen that would tarnish his reputation.

Qi Wenyan caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing from outside the door, his eyes flickered, and he deliberately said: "Luo Shu, what are you talking about? Xiao Zhi must have married my elder brother because she likes him."

Shen Zhi put down his chopsticks. He seemed to know why this dinner was held today.

Shen Zhi pulled the corners of his mouth, his eyes without a trace of smile, and said loudly: "Of course I don't like him, I married him just for the gift money, I think he is a fool and I am ashamed of him."

Qi Wenyan's eyes were filled with joy, and he urged Shen Zhi to say more in his heart, but he saw the figure outside disappeared. Qi Wenyan felt a little regretful, but this was enough.

When Jiang Dongsheng recovered, Shen Zhigang's words would be evidence of his hypocrisy and indifference.

Shen Zhi scanned the faces of the people in front of him, all with different expressions. Before they could speak, Shen Zhi's expression suddenly changed, "Do you hope that I can say this to relieve your jealousy? Seeing that I married a fool and didn't have to work, you planned to laugh at me in other ways?"

Shen Zhi stood up suddenly and overturned the table, and the soup instantly splashed on the three people in front of him.

Qi Wenyan's shrill scream came to his ears, and Luo Shu's face turned ashen.

"Whether I like the fool or not is none of your business," Shen Zhi said coldly, "but this is not a reason for you to maliciously speculate about Jiang Dongsheng. I know better than you whether the fool is worthy of liking, and you are the ones who are really malicious."

Shen Zhi didn't stay for long and left the educated youth site directly.

No matter what you eat, you'll be full of anger.

Shen Zhi returned home, but did not see Jiang Dongsheng. He looked everywhere but couldn't find him. Shen Zhi asked Li Cuijuan.

Li Cuijuan told him not to worry, saying that it was Jiang Dongsheng who followed the car to Shanliu Village.

Shanliu Village is the village where Shen Zhi's grandfather lived. Shen Zhi felt relieved. Shen Zhi couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. This fool looks more like his grandson than himself.

It was not in vain that I vented my anger for him today.

The weather was really bad today, and it started to rain soon. Shen Zhi always felt uneasy when he saw rain. Jiang Dongsheng also came back safely last time, and this time Jiang Dongsheng was not alone.

Shen Zhi always felt sleepy in winter. He managed to sleep for a while in the cold quilt when he was awakened by earth-shaking thunder. Shen Zhi was so panicked that he almost vomited.

I put on my clothes and went outside. It was still raining and the cold wind could penetrate into the bones, freezing them and making them ache.

The village radio suddenly sounded, "Heavy rain caused mudslides, every household stay at home and don't go out. Heavy rain caused mudslides, every household..."

Li Cuijuan, who couldn't sleep at night and came out to inquire about the situation, also hurried over from outside. Seeing Shen Zhi, she said in panic: "The eldest brother's wife, the eldest brother... was buried by the mudslide..."

The shocking news made Shen Zhi dizzy. He staggered out, unsteady on his feet, and fell heavily next to the chicken coop.

"Chiang Dongsheng," Shen Zhi's eyes gradually became dim.

Others couldn't see it, but a faint blue light rose from Shen Zhi's head and wrapped him tightly. Colorful memories were running rampant in Shen Zhi's mind, and the pain was so severe that Shen Zhi was about to faint.

"Host, 529 is online and is stripping you of your spiritual body." 529 in the chicken coop felt the spiritual power about to explode and had to take action to stop it.

Shen Zhiqiang held on to his last bit of rationality and pleaded to 529 before he lost consciousness: "System, save Jiang Dongsheng."
