Immersive Fast Wear: The Anti-Strike Manual of the Heartthrob

Shu Qiu seemed to think that he was there to greet her.

Zhu Qi saw this and thought of his own suspicions, and suddenly felt guilty.

He was always suspicious of others, but that was because of the situation he had been in since childhood, and his suspicions were always proven wrong.

But now, all is in vain.

For a moment, Zhu Qi couldn't tell his true emotions.

Shu Qiu seemed not to notice his unnaturalness, raised the thing in his hand and said:

"Okay, I've taken care of everything. The tribe leader also gave me a hen, which is perfect for stewing to nourish your body."

Zhu Qi bit his inner lip, remained silent, and followed Shu Qiu into the house.

-

The next day.

Zhu Qi woke up very early as he was not used to a whole night of peace.

After waking up, he couldn't fall asleep again, so he lay in bed with his eyes open until dawn.

I changed my clothes and stood up when I couldn't lie down any longer.

Zhu Qi was now wearing the clothes that had belonged to Shu Qiu's hunter father. They were a bit big, but better than his own old clothes that had been torn a lot from wearing them all the time.

Shu Qiu was about to wake up at this time.

The two of them had made an appointment in advance yesterday. Zhu Qi had some injuries and could not do heavy work, so he was temporarily responsible for three meals a day and some housework at home.

Having abandoned those trivial and messy housework, Shu Qiu also had more time to embroider some patterned handkerchiefs and sell them in town for money to support their lives.

This is a lot easier than before.

In addition to sharing the housework, Shu Qiu would not let himself bear the living expenses of two people alone.

When Zhu Qi recovers, he will have to find something to do on his own and share the responsibility of supporting the family.

This is mutual reliance, not living under someone else's roof, nor being worried about the deep meaning behind unconditional help. Zhu Qi can feel that he is needed and feels more at ease.

After breakfast, Shu Qiu was embroidering a handkerchief in the house. Zhu Qi was at a loss as to what to do, so he opened the door and sat outside to bask in the sun.

The door is open, allowing for better ventilation and lighting.

The sun slowly rose and hung in the sky. The sunlight shone on my body, dispelling some of the chill in the early morning.

The sunlight at this time was quiet and warm. If it weren't for the sounds coming from outside, he felt that he would have almost fallen asleep.

It seemed like a lot of people came over at once, with overlapping footsteps, and the most prominent voice was a man's noisy and muddy voice.

"I am the only brother of my second brother. Although he was given up for adoption by our parents when he was young, the blood relationship cannot be severed. I am still his eldest brother. Now that he is dead, as his relative, the house and land should of course be mine."

Zhang Shu, the brother of Li the Hunter, does not live in Lijia Village. He lives quite far away from Lijia Village.

Fearing that some "poor relatives" might come to him for help, Zhang Shu never inquired about what was happening on Li the Hunter's side.

Even though Li the Hunter later learned about his life story from his deceased adoptive father and went to the door once, he was driven out before he could say anything.

After that, the two sides completely cut off contact.

It was also for this reason that Zhang Shu would not have known about Li the Hunter's death, if a distant relative in the village had not accidentally revealed the news.

The reason he came this time was because he heard from that person that Hunter Li had left behind a house and a piece of small land.

The house is not big and the fields are not fertile, but for Zhang Shu, the free benefits are worth the hard work.

What's more, this is what he lacks now!

The son has long reached the age to get married, but the family is poor and cannot even find a room for the young couple to live in separately. Even the matchmaker is unwilling to take on the job.

Which family would be willing to marry their daughter into such a family? The matchmaker shook her head repeatedly, fearing that her reputation would be ruined if she took over.

Therefore, after Zhang Shu made some inquiries and found out that Li the Hunter had left behind some property, he immediately instigated some of his friends to go to Lijia Village.

He did not hide his identity on the way here.

Li the Hunter has lived in Lijia Village since he was a child. No one knew that he had a brother. The villagers who liked to watch the fun immediately followed him.

Living in the same village and having friendships for more than ten years, no matter what, they are willing to side with the people in their own village, except when their own interests conflict.

After hearing Zhang Shu's frank words, someone still kindly interrupted.

"He has relatives. He has a daughter. The land and the house should be left to her."

"What, another daughter?"

Zhang Shu hadn't had any contact with Li the Hunter for decades, so he was surprised when he heard someone remind him of this.

At that time, he only paid attention to things like how many rooms the house had and how big the fields were. He also heard that the hunter's wife had been away for a long time, so he didn't care about other details.

Soon, Zhang Shu's eyes rolled around, and he waved his hand and spoke casually:

"She's just a daughter, a little girl. She's going to get married in the future. What's the point of having fields and houses?"

"Well, as her elder, I should take care of her. When I take over my brother's things, I won't kick her out."

When it was profitable, Zhang Shu changed his tune smoothly.

You know, when Li the Hunter came to visit his family in the past, when his own family was still well off, he kept calling them poor beggars and so on.

"She will live in my house for the time being. I will ask my wife to find a good family for her. This will be considered as fulfilling my responsibility as an uncle."

When it comes to scheming, no one can compare to him.

Zhang Shu said that he would take care of his brother's daughter, but he was actually making plans in his mind.

I heard that this daughter is sixteen years old and very beautiful. She can earn some dowry money after getting married, so it will be easier to find a wife for my son.

As for whether Li the Hunter's daughter agreed or not, it was her parents' order and the matchmaker's words. He was her only elder and the only relative in her natal family, so she could not disagree.

The villagers were outsiders after all, and there was nothing they could do except spit on them.

Zhu Qi has always had sharp ears and heard almost everything Zhang Shu said.

Suddenly Zhu Qi remembered the guilt he felt last night. He was not used to owing others. Isn't this the best time to pay it back?

The righteous and arrogant voice was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped a few feet away from the door.

The door was not closed, and I could see some of the scenes inside.

Zhang Shu stood outside the door, looking at the small but clean and tidy house with envy, swallowed his saliva and prepared to walk in.

Zhu Qi, who was sitting in the yard, immediately stood up and stood in front of him.

Only then did Zhang Shu realize that there was a thin little boy in the room. He was a little impatient and spoke in a very impolite tone.

"Kid, what are you doing here?"

For some reason, although both of them called him "kid", Zhu Qi always felt that Shu Qiu felt a thousand times more comfortable calling him that than the man in front of him.

"I am the master of this house."

Zhu Qi was even unwilling to explain the details of the situation to him.
