Chapter 13

[This luck system is a bad thing that has escaped. Host, I will reward you with some self-defense items. Oh, and aren’t you a poison doctor? You can make some poison for yourself, right?]

Zhang Xiyue rolled her eyes: “Do I need you to tell me that? I’ve been recuperating these past few days just to have a healthy body. I won’t run around with such a big wound on the back of my head.”

“I have to go back to work in a few days. I have to find time to go to the mountains to get some herbs. I can’t let this skill go to waste.”

She had never thought that she would rely entirely on the system. She could put aside the design of Hanfu for the time being, but her medical skills were not good enough. She was afraid that she would forget what she had in her mind after a long time. This was absolutely not possible because it was her heirloom.

Yang Tiantian wiped the water off her face with a look of resentment and said angrily, “Zhang Xiyue, you know I like this pendant. I clearly told you that I could buy it with money, but you actually broke it and refused to give it to me. Aren’t you wasting a good thing?”

She searched the river for an hour but couldn’t find a single hair. The system said it had been washed away long ago, but she didn’t believe it. She searched for so long, and what was the result? Not even a scrap of scrap.

Zhang Xiyue smiled proudly: “I don’t need this thing, but I think it’s unlucky for you to wear it. It should be okay for you to decide what to do with my things, right?”

Shen He, who was carrying water for the family, had already stopped and spoke up for Yang Tiantian, “Zhang Xiyue, you are so vicious. Tiantian was willing to pay for it, but you threw it into the river. You really don’t know what’s good for you.”

Why didn’t he realize before that Zhang Xiyue was so vicious and not kind at all?

Zhang Xiyue sneered: “Shen He, you’re too tight, and you want me to tighten it for you? What I do with my own things is my business. You’re speaking up for Yang Tiantian, so why are you attracted to her? Don’t you want any female comrades in your army?”

After all, a stinky man can break off the engagement in order to marry into a rich family. Yang Tiantian can only use coercion and inducement to keep this man.

However, she hoped that Yang Tiantian would plot against Shen He. So far, Shen He was one of the few military officers in the village. Note that she said officer, not soldier. There were two other officers in the village who were married or about to get married, such as her second brother.

Her future sister-in-law is a doctor. They have been dating for a year and are planning to get married at the end of this year.

Shen He’s face darkened. “Don’t talk nonsense. I just saw that you were acting too rudely and unreasonably, like a shrew, so I said something about you. Tiantian and I are innocent, and I won’t tolerate your slander.”

He was worried. Did they know that he and Tiantian had been exchanging letters? That was impossible. He had never told anyone about this.

He understands too well the impact that appearance has on people. The things he has collected since he was a child are worth a hundred yuan. What a concept.

One hundred yuan! Just his family of Xikou works in the village and earns work points. In addition to the grain they are given, they can only get 20 to 30 yuan a year at most. This money needs to be saved for a year.

Even with this, it was still considered a lot, and their brigade was relatively well-off. Some brigades were so poor that after working hard for a year, they could still owe money to the brigade.

Zhang Xiyue curled her lips and laughed: “I just think you are meddling in other people’s business. It’s none of your business to meddle in Yang Tiantian and me. Is the water tank full? If it’s not, why are you still watching the fun? If you have nothing to do, go earn work points for your parents. Your family still owes us 200 work points.”

The things they moved from the Shen family last time were not enough to pay off the debt, and there was still a shortfall, so they used work points to offset it. I think they didn’t forget.

Shen He felt ashamed and wanted to leave, “You can handle it yourself, I’m just reminding you kindly.”

Yang Tiantian looked at Shen He’s leaving back with reluctance, as this man had a bright future.

In his previous life, Shen He injured his leg and retired home. If he had not been injured, Shen He might have become the youngest regiment commander or division commander. Even if he had not become an official, Shen He and Zhang Xiyue would have become wealthy and possessed countless wealth.

Shen He was trying to hook her, and she knew that since Shen He’s visiting time was about to end, she had to hurry up and make things happen. If she missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for her to find a promising man in a short time.

At least before the reform, Shen He’s ability to reach the high position of deputy head of the group had already proved his ability. A deputy head of the group would have a salary plus allowances of 60 to 70 yuan, which was more than 100 yuan.Ah, Yang Tiantian has decided that she wants this man.

If she became Shen He’s wife, she would definitely find a way to let Shen He avoid that mission. It is possible that Shen He would be promoted to a higher position. As the saying goes, a wife’s status depends on her husband’s. She, Yang Tiantian, would definitely become an official’s wife and leave this poor little mountain village.

It doesn’t matter who she marries, but if she marries Shen He, she and her future children will have a high-ranking husband and father, and she will be considered to have crossed the social classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.

Zhang Xiyue looked at Yang Tiantian and smiled. She also wanted to know if Shen He would refuse to eat the meat that was delivered to his door. It was unclear who was more skilled. In terms of cruelty and ambition, the two men were equally matched.

According to the plot development, Yang Tiantian will use the incident of Shen He’s parents stealing food from the brigade to threaten and force Shen He to marry her. Yang Tiantian will get what she wants.

–

Zhang Xiyue got some medicinal herbs and wanted to buy some medicine-making tools, so she placed an order in the system mall. When she was strolling into the city and passed by the leather shoe factory, she got a big reward.

The gate of a courtyard was not closed, and the sounds coming out were so tempting.

“Jianye, please don’t. We haven’t gotten married yet, and Shen Wangzhi is still next door. Even if he is going to the countryside, we haven’t broken off our engagement yet.”

“What are you afraid of, Minmin? He’s going to the countryside as an educated youth soon. His job, house, and woman are all mine. My mother even gave him a wife… Without him, you’re mine.”

“Minmin, you were the one who pushed Shen Wangzhi into this. You won’t be soft-hearted, will you? Don’t forget, he’s now in a coma with a high fever and it’s all because of you. Do you really have him in your heart?”

“Nonsense, Jianye, the Shen family will be yours from now on. How can a fat pig like Shen Wangzhi be worthy of me?”

“Come on, this house is very soundproof. I feel so uncomfortable, Minmin, touch me.”

“Ah, it’s so hot.”

“What did you put in the water? It’s so hot.”

“No way, Minmin, we just can’t help ourselves.”

“Help me.” The man was sitting on the ground, almost bumping into the door. His face was pale and covered in sweat. He said to Zhang Xiyue pitifully.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Xiyue helped the man up and walked out.

Shen Wangzhi handed over five yuan and said, “Comrade, could you please call someone from a certain committee for me?”

Zhang Xiyue was stunned. For the sake of money, it was not impossible.

“Is your partner inside? Did he betray you?”

The man said with a sorrowful face, “My brother and my childhood sweetheart are in love. I didn’t expect them to be so despicable. They wanted to take me away to the countryside to steal my things. I’ve been on guard against them for a while, but I didn’t expect them to trick me anyway.”

“I have a high fever. Can you help me go to a certain committee or find someone to go? I’m afraid if we wait too long, they’ll disperse. We finally caught them in the act today, but if we miss this chance, we’ll never have another chance. I want to send them to a farm for rehabilitation.”

Zhang Xiyue would never admit that she wanted to join in the fun, and patted her chest and said, “So they’re trying to catch someone in adultery. Just wait, comrade, their retribution is coming.”

I guessed right, the water was drugged, right? Who put it there?
