Chapter 20: Claiming the Title
Wang Jinxue went to the back of the mountain to hunt for pig grass. When she saw Su Li and Chen Xiang chatting and laughing, a trace of jealousy flashed across her face.
Was a woman like Su Li worthy of having friends? She should be despised by everyone and distanced from them.
Wang Jinxue carried the basket on her back and walked over. "Cousin-in-law, what are you guys talking about so happily? Hurry up and tell me."
Su Li glanced at Wang Jinxue and said, "I heard that the sow at the village entrance gave birth to a nest of piglets. I was wondering if I should buy one and raise it. If you're interested, you can go take a look."
Wang Jinxue's face alternated between red and white. She felt that Su Li was mocking her!
"Cousin-in-law, why do you always add salt to my wound? If I've offended you in any way, tell me and I'll apologize to you. Don't always talk to me as if you are holding a gun and a stick. You even use these words to hurt my wound."
Su Li spread her hands helplessly. "You were the one who wanted to ask just now. I'm just telling the truth. If you mind, pretend I didn't say anything just now."
They were really talking about the sow giving birth. Wang Jinxue came out and asked herself. She swore to the heavens that she really didn't mean to mock anyone this time. It was completely Wang Jinxue's fault.
However, Wang Jinxue couldn't give birth to a child herself. Now, she was even jealous of a sow giving birth?
Tsk tsk ~ How pitiful!
Wang Jinxue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cried, "Cousin-in-law, I know that I married better than you. My husband dotes on me too. Back then, you had no choice but to marry my cousin. All these years, you've been doing whatever you want and have never worried yourself about the children."
"But our family has never said anything. We've always tolerated and enlightened you, but you've always been thinking about others. You think about others in everything. You don't care about family matters at all. To think that our family treats you so well. How can you disappoint us again and again?"
Su Li was speechless.
Was this the song she was singing?
There was no audience here. Wang Jinxue wouldn't think that Chen Xiang would stand on her side, right?
"If your epilepsy is acting up, hurry up and treat it. Don't be an eyesore here."
After saying that, Su Li turned around and left. She happened to see the corner of He Yufeng's shirt disappear, so Wang Jinxue's words were deliberately said for He Yufeng to hear.
Su Li narrowed her eyes and glanced at Wang Jinxue. The corners of her lips curled up sarcastically.
"I was wondering why you started singing yourself. So you're trying to sow discord between us?"
Su Li walked towards Wang Jinxue step by step with a cold expression.
"What are you doing?" Wang Jinxue was trembling in fear. She had never seen Su Li like this before.
Su Li looked at Wang Jinxue's frightened expression and said disdainfully, "How dare you find trouble with me with these guts of yours? Let me tell you, no matter what method you use, He Yufeng won't have any objections to me. He loves me to the core. Look at me. I've been doing this for so many years. Has he ever said no?"
"He can't leave me, just like a fish can't leave water. He doesn't dare to go west when I tell him to go east, so don't use those despicable things anymore. It's disgusting!"
After teaching Wang Jinxue a lesson, she left domineeringly.
Chen Xiang carried the pig intestines back into the house, leaving Wang Jinxue standing there alone. She stomped her feet and left with the basket on her back, still cursing.
"What are you doing here?"
Su Li had just turned the corner when she bumped into He Yufeng.
How much had he heard just now? Thinking of how she had boasted shamelessly just now, Su Li only wanted to cover her face.
He Yufeng said, "I'm going to the mountain to chop firewood."
When Su Li saw that he was holding a hatchet, she nodded and said, "Cut some slightly larger wood. I have use for it."
"Okay."
He Yufeng stared at Su Li and said, "Treat the children well. Otherwise, no one will have a good life."
He had heard Su Li's words just now. He was a little dissatisfied with Su Li's nonsense. What did she mean by he loved her to the core?
I wonder how Su Li said such shameless words!
Su Li blinked innocently. What did He Yufeng mean by saying these things to her now?
Before she could ask, He Yufeng went up the mountain with a hatchet.
After returning home, Su Li first made a few simple soap molds.
It was too tiring to do it alone. Su Li decided to leave everything to He Yufeng when he returned.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, Su Li flashed into the interspace.
There were still no changes in the interspace. Su Li walked into the shop and planted the chili she had exchanged for on the black soil.
Although she did not know what was in the next level, this form of unlocking as if she was opening mystery boxes was still quite exciting. Therefore, she should obediently complete the mission and level up!
There were some flowers that were blooming in the space. Su Li picked them and prepared to use them to make soap.
She drew a few molds for making soap. These molds had to be exquisite and could not be wrong. After all, relying on looks was faster than relying on strength.
"He Yufeng, come here."
After He Yufeng returned from chopping firewood, he was pulled over by Su Li to do manual labor.
He Yufeng looked at the thing in front of him and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
He Erhu was the first to answer. "This is a soap mold. It's used to make soap!"
'Soap. What's that?'
He Yufeng was confused.
He Erhu could tell that his father was confused. He shook his head and explained, "Soap can be used to wash clothes. It's cleaner and better than soap pods. Soap can be used to bathe. After bathing, you'll smell good!"
He Yufeng frowned. He did not believe He Erhu's words. He was someone who had seen the world, but he had never heard of soap.
How could this woman be so troublesome? He hadn't been out of the house for long, why did she come up with such things again?
He seriously suspected that Su Li was deliberately messing with them, so she found some random things for them to do.
Su Li could tell what He Yufeng was thinking from his expression. It didn't matter if he believed it or not. What was important was that he helped with the work.
Su Li placed the sample and blueprint she had made in front of He Yufeng and said, "Follow the requirements on my blueprint and make some molds for me."
He Yufeng looked at the thing in front of him and did not say anything.
Su Li turned her head to look at him. "If you have any difficulties, just say it. Or is this thing too difficult, it stumped you?"
He Yufeng saw the suspicion in Su Li's eyes and gritted his teeth. "This small matter can't stump me!"
It was just a simple mold. He could make it with his eyes closed.
Su Li reached out and patted He Yufeng's shoulder. She smiled and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. You have to work hard. I'll give you dividends when I earn money."
He Yufeng glanced at Su Li's shoulder and his eyes wandered.
"Su Li..."
He called out to Su Li.
