After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 224 Everyone has their own concerns

Hu Tingting ignored Lin Yu's words and just looked at Shen Nian with a sneer, her eyes full of provocation and malice.

The strange smile on his lips seemed to say to Shen Nian: "Go ahead and beat me up, I'm not afraid of you."

Seeing that Hu Tingting didn't respond to him, Lin Yu's nameless anger became increasingly difficult to control. He couldn't help but reach out to pull Hu Tingting, his tone revealing suppressed anger.

"Hu Tingting! Say something! Why don't you say anything!"

Hu Tingting slowly turned her gaze towards Lin Yu, a look of hurt appeared on her face, and she questioned:

"What do you want me to say? Lin Yu, you believe everything Shen Nian says! She said this water is poisonous, then she made me drink it, how come I'm still here, fine?"

Lin Yu was speechless for a moment. He had just seen Shen Nian give Hu Tingting some water, and Hu Tingting was indeed fine, with no signs of the condition she had that day.

Lin Yu let go of Hu Tingting's hand, took a step back, and tried hard to calm himself down and think about what was going on.

However, Hu Tingting didn't intend to give up. She continued, "Lin Yu, have you forgotten that you and I were in the cornfield that day? You clearly enjoyed it. Why did you forget what happened between us in the cornfield as soon as you saw Shen Nian?"

When Lin Yu heard what Hu Tingting said, she subconsciously glanced at Shen Nian and immediately retorted: "Hu Tingting! What are you talking about? I was clearly trying to save you that day!"

"Really?" Hu Tingting stared at Lin Yu. "Are you really doing this to save me, or are you just trying to do the same thing as me? You know best!"

"you……"

Lin Yu looked at Shen Nian anxiously and explained, "Shen Nian, don't believe her words easily. I really am not..."

Shen Nian waved his hand, interrupting Lin Yu: "That's enough, Lin Zhiqing, I'm not interested in your affairs. I'm here to warn Hu Tingting! Don't set your sights on the wrong person!"

Shen Nian stared fiercely at Hu Tingting and warned, "Hu Tingting, I'm warning you for the last time. Don't try to use your clever tricks to trick me again! It'd better not happen again, or I'll let the dogs bite you!"

After Shen Nian finished speaking, he turned and left without even looking at Hu Tingting. Ye Jiaojiao stepped forward and kicked Hu Tingting again, then hurriedly followed Shen Nian's steps.

Shen Nian looked at Shi Shengxia who was leaning against her door frame and looking at her, and walked past her with an expressionless face.

Shi Shengxia looked at Shen Nian walking past her and couldn't help but complain in her heart. She really didn't expect that Shen Nian, a female educated youth and an old countryman of this era, could be so troublesome.

He was either beating this guy today or beating that guy tomorrow. He even raised a large flock of chickens in the back hillside. He was such a fool, raising so many chickens for the entire brigade for free.

Even if the chickens were well-raised, what good would it do? First, there was no salary, and second, there was no year-end bonus or anything like that. If it were her, she wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

When Zhou Jindong came over with the aluminum lunch box, he saw Shi Shengxia standing by the door, wondering what she was thinking. He asked doubtfully:

"Shengxia, what are you doing standing in here? Are you waiting for me?"

Shi Shengxia came back to her senses and said to Zhou Jindong with a sweet smile, "Jindong, why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

As Shi Shengxia spoke, she reached out and hugged Zhou Jindong's arm. Zhou Jindong glanced at his hugged arm and said, "I brought you some food. Let's go in and eat first."

"it is good!"

Shi Shengxia took Zhou Jindong's arm and walked into her room. After she took the lunch box, she couldn't wait to open it. The boiled eggplant and corn rice that came into her sight made Shi Shengxia's smile freeze on her face.

"Why is it boiled eggplant again? Didn't I tell you that I can't get used to this? I want to eat rice?" Shi Shengxia shouted unhappily.

Zhou Jindong paused for a moment, then patiently explained, "Shengxia, this is what my family is eating today. Just make do with it for now. When I go up the mountain and hunt some prey, I'll sell it and buy you some rice!"

"Wait, wait, wait! You say that every day! Let me wait!"

Shi Shengxia interrupted Zhou Jindong dissatisfiedly and stuffed the lunch box back into his hands. Her eyes were slightly red and her voice was filled with a bit of grievance:

"Jin Dong, I don't mean to embarrass you, but I just can't get used to these things. I've been used to eating rice since I was a child, and I've always had meat..."

Shi Shengxia stopped talking here and just tilted her head slightly to one side, looking very helpless.

Zhou Jindong felt distressed when he saw her like this. He impulsively took a step forward, gently hugged Shi Shengxia, and comforted her softly:

"Shengxia, I know, I know everything. Don't worry, I will let you live a good life as soon as possible, you believe me."

Shi Shengxia raised her head in his arms, looking at him expectantly, and asked softly, "Really? Is this a good day where we can eat rice and meat every meal?"

Zhou Jindong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, Shengxia. I will work hard to earn work points, go hunting in the mountains, and make a lot of money. I will let you live the life you want, with rice and meat every meal! Believe me, I won't let you suffer like this forever."

Shi Shengxia leaned her head in Zhou Jindong's arms. In her heart, she didn't want to define a good life as just having rice and meat, which was such a simple requirement.

But at this moment she was really greedy, greedy for rice and all kinds of meat.

Ever since she was caught and beaten for no reason last time, even her bicycle and the things that the original owner's parents had just sent her were taken away, not to mention the money and bills. Those people took away everything.

When Shi Shengxia just came back, she sent a letter to the original owner's parents, asking them to send her some things again, but this time she never received anything from them.

Ever since she'd fallen out with the system, it had barely paid any attention to her, aside from issuing tasks. Even more frustrating for her was the fact that now, after she completed a task, the system wouldn't give her any rewards at all.

But if she dared not to complete the task, the system would immediately punish her by being torn into pieces.

So Shi Shengxia, who was penniless, could only pin her hopes on Zhou Jindong. As a result, this man either boiled cabbage or boiled eggplant every day.

Occasionally, she could eat a boiled egg, but Zhou Jindong's second sister-in-law would run to the Youth League Home, kick her door, and scold her!

Shi Shengxia was furious, but she didn't dare to open the door and go out to argue with her second sister-in-law. This country shrew was too fierce, and she couldn't beat her or scold her, so she could only hide in the house and endure it silently.

She is in a state of midsummer now, unable to die but also unable to live.

Shi Shengxia felt wronged, and Zhou Jindong also felt wronged.

He was still brooding over the fact that Shi Shengxia was kidnapped, and he had secretly gone to find Brother Hei, hoping he could help him find those bastards.

As a result, not only did Brother Hei not help him find the person, he even refused to take the prey he had hunted!

What's worse is that he can't even catch prey now! He goes up the mountain every day, but always comes back empty-handed! He feels like something is stopping him from doing anything!

If he can't catch any prey, he will have no money. How can he buy rice and meat for Shi Shengxia without money?

All the money he earned before was managed by his mother. His mother didn't agree with him and Shi Shengxia being together, so how could she give him the money?

He himself didn't want to touch the money. He was still wondering whether Shi Shengxia had been bullied... As long as he was not sure about this, he would not spend his money on Shi Shengxia.

At this moment, the two people hugged each other tightly, but each had their own thoughts.
