Quick Wear: I Fulfill the Wish of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 176 The Stepping Stones of the Protagonists in the Period Literature 6

"It's He Zhiqing, what can I do for you?"

Ning Yuanming's voice was cold, as if he had completely forgotten the warmth he had felt yesterday evening. Back then, they had taken a stroll together after dinner, chatting about their future aspirations, but now he seemed like a completely different person.

The smile on He Wanyi's face froze instantly, and a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes: "Does Ning Zhiqing hate me? Wasn't it yesterday..."

"Enough!" Ning Yuanming suddenly raised his voice and shouted. This shout attracted the attention of the people around who were rushing home for dinner. They slowed down their pace, curious to hear what had happened between the two men.

"He Zhiqing, I don't know what I did to make you misunderstand. The one I like is Comrade Su, so just give up." Ning Yuanming said this mercilessly and left quickly, completely ignoring the gazes of the people around him, and ignoring He Wanyi who was standing there.

Everyone was shocked, as it turned out to be a complicated triangle relationship. He Zhiqing was pursuing Ning Zhiqing, while Ning Zhiqing was obsessed with the girl from the village chief's family.

But according to what Su Lan said today, she obviously didn't have a good impression of Ning Zhiqing. This gossip was really exciting, and everyone quickened their pace, preparing to go home and share it with their families during dinner.

Su Lan, who had already returned home, was eating lunch while watching the heroine's embarrassing scene with great interest, and couldn't help laughing. This action aroused the curiosity of Luo Yan.

"Lanlan, why did you suddenly laugh so happily while eating? Did you think of something interesting?" Luo Yan asked with concern.

"Oh, Mom, I saw Mrs. Tian today. Her belly was pointed and everyone said it was a boy! Oh, Mom, you are still young. Why don't you give birth to a younger brother for me!" Su Lan said mischievously.

"Go away, how can a daughter tease her mother like this!" Luo Yan's ears suddenly turned red. Fortunately, Su Wenzhong had gone to the brigade with the food and was not at home, otherwise she would be even more embarrassed.

"I'm speaking the truth. I'm the only child in our family, and I feel a little lonely. Mom, let's discuss it with Dad tonight." Su Lan said seriously.

In fact, the body Su Lan currently possesses is only sixteen years old, and her mother Luo Yan is only thirty-five years old. As long as she takes good care of herself, it will not be difficult to have another child.

Because the original owner had no plans to return, and Su Lan herself had no plans to marry and have children in this small world, it was a pity that the two of them would not be able to enjoy the joy of family life until they were old, so Su Lan would help them have a child, either a brother or a sister.

Luo Yan has always loved her daughter, so seeing how serious she was, she nodded and said she would consider it.

Su Lan also took advantage of her mother's nap to add a pregnancy-aiding pill to her water bottle before returning to her room to rest.

He Wanyi was so embarrassed after being told that she skipped lunch and went straight back to her room to hide. She blamed Su Lan for rejecting Ning Yuanming, which led to what had just happened. So, she decided to ask Zhou Ling to take the afternoon off for her. She needed some time to rethink how to pursue Ning Yuanming, the future richest man.

Zhou Ling was used to He Wanyi asking for leave whenever something happened, so she agreed. Before going to work that afternoon, she went to the scorekeeper to explain the situation and helped He Wanyi apply for leave.

Su Lan arrived at the fields early in the afternoon and quickly completed the farm work on the plot of land she was responsible for. Ning Yuanming, on the other hand, had delayed tilling the soil in the morning and needed to work harder in the afternoon to catch up, so he didn't bother her again.

After finishing her work, Su Lan looked around but never saw the heroine. Finally, she learned from Tuanzi that He Wanyi had asked for leave.

"Tuanzi, is the heroine's family very wealthy? She takes so many days off, so her work points must be very low. So what does she eat and use on a daily basis?"

"That's not true, host. Although she comes from a dual-income family, she has two older brothers and a younger sister, so He Wanyi's treatment at home is not very good. Moreover, her parents didn't buy anything for her this time in the countryside."

Tuanzi changed the subject and continued, "She felt confident enough to ask for leave because she'd grown much bolder after her rebirth. Based on what she'd eavesdropped on her parents' conversations in her previous life, she suspected there might be problems with her uncle's family, so she sent a letter home, claiming she knew they had connections abroad. This frightened the He family, and they quickly sent a lot of money and tickets!"

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then you go and check whether He Wanyi's uncle really has any fundamental problems. If so, report him anonymously." Su Lan instructed.

After saying this, Su Lan went home, carrying a small basket and went out. When she met acquaintances along the way, she told everyone that she had finished work early today and could go to the foot of the mountain to pick some wild vegetables.

In fact, her real purpose of this trip was not to eat wild vegetables, but to go for the delicious meat. After all, the two meals she had today had no oil at all, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Although the Su family's living standard was relatively moderate, every meal had two dishes and a soup, served with bread or rice.

However, the meat is very small, mostly pork preserved during the Lunar New Year, cut into small pieces and cooked only when guests come to visit or when a wedding is held. As for the cooking oil, it is all lard made by Luo Yan herself, and only a symbolic pass through the wok each time.

Following the map that Tuanzi had marked, Su Lan had a bountiful harvest in less than an hour: a basket of wild vegetables and twenty or so quail eggs. As soon as the pheasant appeared, she used a stone wrapped in spiritual power to accurately shoot it down.

She cleverly covered the pheasant with wild vegetables, and then went down the mountain contentedly. When she passed by the Tian family, she took out a handful of wild vegetables and ten quail eggs, telling Aunt Tian that they were for her sister-in-law's health.

"Oh, how can I accept this?" Aunt Tian said a little embarrassedly.

"Hey, aunt, these are just some wild vegetables and quail eggs picked from the mountains. I'll buy some brown sugar for my sister-in-law to nourish her body when I go to town next time." Su Lan replied with a smile.

"You really care about your sister-in-law, but don't spend too much. Her husband will prepare these." Aunt Tian took the things, turned and walked into the kitchen, took out a bag of plain noodles and put it in Su Lan's small basket, "You can take these noodles home to eat too. Don't refuse. This is how favors are exchanged."

Su Lan paused as she was about to grab the noodles, and said with a smile, "Okay, I see my sister-in-law is pregnant with a little nephew, so it's time for auntie to buy some cloth to make him some clothes."

When Aunt Tian heard this, a bright smile immediately blossomed on her face, as beautiful as a flower in full bloom in spring. She happily responded and nodded repeatedly, indicating that she agreed with Su Lan's statement.

Seeing Aunt Tian so happy, Su Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her words had worked, and she hoped that it would change Aunt Tian's attitude towards her daughter-in-law, so that her family would not repeat the same mistakes and avoid the tragedy of the previous life from happening again.

After sunset, Su Wenzhong returned home holding his tin lunch box. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

Startled, he hurried to the kitchen, where he saw his wife slaughtering a plump pheasant. He hurried over and nervously asked, "Who sent this chicken? Return it now! You can't accept it."
