Chapter 3: Explanation
He Dahu said with a serious expression, "She won't die after eating that grass. I saw Bruiser's chicken eat it and it's still alive and well."
If chickens wouldn't die after eating them, humans wouldn't die after eating them, right??
"Really?" He Erhu asked.
He Dahu nodded vigorously. "I never lie."
"I believe you."
As his fanboy, He Erhu did not doubt the authenticity of his words at all.
After a while, a fragrance wafted out from the kitchen.
He Dahu and He Erhu squatted outside the fence. When they smelled the fragrance of the vegetable pancakes, they could not help but swallow their saliva.
Gulp...
There was a loud gulping sound.
Su Li's lips curled into a smile. She had successfully craved the children outside the fence, and she felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"Brother, the food she makes smells so good!"
He Erhu could not help but crave for food. Ever since their father went hunting in the mountains, they had not eaten their fill.
"Be good, we won't eat it. There's grass inside!"
He Dahu was the loudest in swallowing his saliva and said stubbornly.
After the vegetable pancakes and corn porridge were out of the pot, Su Li shouted outside the fence.
"Come and eat."
"..."
No one responded to Su Li.
Su Li did not care. She was famished. She had made a total of three pancakes. She ate one and left two for the two awkward little ones.
With her current physique, it was not suitable for her to eat too much. She had to try her best to control her diet.
By the time Su Li finished eating the pancakes in her bowl, He Dahu and He Erhu were still squatting outside the fence. They had no intention of coming back.
Su Li looked at the little round head outside the fence and found it funny. She deliberately raised her voice.
"This pancake is really disgusting. I can't finish the remaining two at all. Why don't we throw it away?"
When He Dahu heard this, he stood up angrily. For a moment, he forgot about his fear of Su Li and spoke in a childish voice.
"Don't waste food like that."
They were not even full. Since she still wanted to throw away the food, he would definitely tell his father when he came back and teach her a lesson.
He Erhu stood at the side and nodded in agreement. "Yes, food is bought with money, so you can't waste it."
Su Li looked at the food on the plate with a troubled expression. "If I don't throw it away, why should I keep it? I don't want to eat it anyway. This thing tastes awful!"
It is really difficult to coax a child now!
"We'll help you eat," He Erhu immediately replied.
Su Li looked at the two awkward children and tried her best not to laugh out loud. "Alright then! I also feel that it's a pity to throw them away. I'll have to trouble you to help me eat it."
When He Dahu and He Erhu heard this, they immediately rushed over like hungry wolves pouncing on meat.
"Wash your hands first," Su Li said as she looked at their dark hands.
These two children were really too dirty. Their clothes were dirty, and their hands and faces were also dirty. She did not know how their parents raised their children!
He Dahu and He Erhu, on the other hand, were obedient. They turned a corner and ran to the water tank to get water and wash their hands. From time to time, they would look back at Su Li, afraid that she would go back on her word.
Su Li was thinking about the shop in her interspace, and she wished she could unlock it and level up right now. Since it was still early, why not go up the mountain and see if she could find the restorative incense?
"I'm going out for a while. Be good and stay at home. Don't run around," Su Li said as she looked at the two of them who were burying their heads in their food.
He Dahu and He Erhu were stunned. They didn't expect Su Li to tell them this. In the past, she wouldn't even tell them wherever she went. As long as they dared to ask more, she would beat them up. Over time, they learned their lesson.
The He family lived at the foot of the mountain, not far from the center of the village. Standing here, one could see the houses in the center of the village. Other than the He family, there were four other families at the foot of the mountain.
The walls of the four families were made of mud. Although there were many cracks on the walls and the roof was covered with thatch, compared to the He family, it could be called a "mansion."
At this moment, a thin woman happened to come out of the courtyard. When she saw Su Li standing at the door, a trace of fear flashed across her eyes, and her expression froze. She stood at the door, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.
Their eyes met. In the end, the woman could not withstand the pressure and spoke.
"Sister, the eggs we have collected have already been sold. I don't have any eggs to sell to you now!"
She's regretting it now. She should have sold the eggs away early this morning. If Su Li saw them later, she would definitely take them away again.
Chen Xiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought that it would be quieter after moving to the foot of the mountain. She didn't expect to meet a neighbor like Su Li again.
Su Li was confused. She flipped through her memories and found memories of the woman in front of her.
This woman's name was Chen Xiang, and she was one of their neighbors. Chen Xiang's husband, He Dahai, was injured and limping, so he could not do heavy work. He Dahai felt inferior and did not like to interact with others, so he resolutely chose the foot of the mountain when they split from their family.
Chen Xiang and Su Li were two completely different people. Chen Xiang was diligent and took good care of the house.
Her family also raised a lot of chickens. Chen Xiang would save up the eggs and sell them in town to supplement her family's expenses. Su Li, her neighbor, would go to Chen Xiang's house from time to time to "buy" eggs.
Every time Su Li came to visit, Chen Xiang would tremble. Not only was Su Li lazy, but she was also stronger than ordinary women. Chen Xiang could not beat her or scold her, so she could only silently endure all of this.
Su Li couldn't help but sweat when she thought of what the original host of her body had done. Those memories clearly surfaced in her mind, and she was so utterly embarrassed..
Su Li revealed a smile that she thought was very friendly.
Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched when she saw Su Li's smile. She had a feeling that Su Li was up to no good this time.
Seeing how scared she was, Su Li explained, "Sister, I'm not buying eggs. I'm going to the mountain to take a look."
So, don't be afraid. She was a good citizen now. She wouldn't do those things!
"Then go ahead!" Chen Xiang heaved a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't cause trouble for her, it was fine.
Su Li smiled and nodded at her. She carried the basket on her back and turned to leave.
Chen Xiang took a hoe and dug the soil beside the stone in front of the house, planning to move this stone that was blocking the front of the house. The stone had already existed before their family moved here.
The fortune-teller said that this stone had affected their family's luck and asked her to quickly move this stone away.
This stone weighed 180 catties. In addition, the other part had been buried in the soil for many years. It was not easy to push it away. Her man could not do heavy work, so she could only endure and do these things herself..
Chen Xiang dug out all the soil beside the stone, revealing the stone's original appearance. She pushed the stone hard, but it did not move.
"Ah—-" Chen Xiang exerted her strength again, but the stone still did not move.
When Chen Xiang wanted to exert more strength, her face turned pale and she held her waist with both hands.
At this moment, a pair of chubby hands landed on the stone.
