The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

Even dogs dared not go out in this weather, so Su Ran went out to fetch water from the stream.

The stream was flowing and hadn't frozen, but the feathers on Su Ran's hat had already frozen.

She easily caught a bucket, gripped the handle with her slender knuckles, and lifted the bucket that had been placed down the stream.

They casually caught a fish downstream, strung it together with water plants, and put it in another dung basket filled with snow.

My daughter is so amazing!

[Collecting cow dung, making kudzu root powder, building earthen stoves... and catching fish! Is there anything my husband can't do?!]

[If I were left in the wild, I'd probably die in no more than ten days. My husband, on the other hand, could set up a base in the wilderness!]

[Isn't my daughter cold? I feel so cold seeing all this snow and ice.]

Honey, take care of yourself and don't catch a cold. It will break my heart—the kind of heartache that makes me want to eat three bowls of rice and five bowls of snail noodles.

[Get the upstairs neighbors out; it's obviously not true love! I could eat eight bowls of rice!]

Su Ran possesses this wilderness knowledge partly because poverty during her childhood forced her to learn these skills, and partly with the help of the system.

Little Butterfly had been searching for wilderness survival knowledge for her, and Su Ran learned it very quickly, remembering almost everything after just one look.

Before I even reached the door, I saw a group of villagers gathered in front of me, banging gongs and drums.

"Dear celebrity guests, please don't be afraid."

"This was all arranged by the production team."

"The director deliberately sent us to scare you, just to see your reaction. It was all planned in advance."

A man who looked to be around thirty years old and had a slightly roguish air about him banged on a gong and shouted.

Su Ran glanced over and saw Lan Yue and the others standing on the outer perimeter. The two women and a child huddled together in the rain and snow, looking at the person who was speaking with suspicion.

Lu Xiaoyan was also in the crowd. At this moment, she no longer looked flustered and appeared extremely kind.

"It's alright, we know, and we didn't mean to blame you." To show her magnanimity, she added, "You're welcome to visit my house sometime. I'm new here, and there are still many things I don't understand that I need to ask you."

The man who banged the gong laughed heartily, having achieved his goal, and repeatedly said "good."

This woman named Lu Xiaoyan is quite polite.

Although she's not as capable as Guiyin, she's genuinely trying to be self-sufficient, gathering firewood and boiling water. Lately, she's been figuring out how to make food. I really hope Guiyin can tell her how to make kudzu root powder.

Someone with sharp eyes spotted Su Ran carrying water immediately.

"Let me help you carry it. I'm so sorry, I scared you yesterday. Jia Dazhu tends to beat his wife when he's drunk. Since we've known Jia Dazhu for a long time, we naturally sided with him yesterday. You did nothing wrong; beating your wife is definitely wrong. Jia Dazhu has already been scolded by our village chief."

The man ran over with a grin, his dark hands reaching out to Su Ran's fair and delicate hands.

Don't touch my daughter's hand! I haven't even touched it yet!

Please move your paws away, don't make me call the police!

[Oh no, everyone, wasn't he just kindly helping Guiyin carry water?]

【True kindness my foot! I'm a man, don't I understand men?】

Just as the man was about to touch that white hand, the masked beauty took a few steps back, causing him to miss his target.

The man awkwardly withdrew his hand, looking at Su Ran with a somewhat uneasy but mostly shameful and indignant expression.

[My ghostly husband is awesome!]

That's how it should be; don't give those nasty men a friendly look!

Honey, be careful. These people might have bad intentions.

"Young lady, even though you are a distinguished guest from the city, you don't need to treat us simple mountain villagers like this. I just want to help you out, so don't act like I'm going to eat you alive."

"Take one more step closer and I'll pour a bucket of water over your head!" Su Ran looked at him coldly.

The man immediately fell silent.

In the dead of winter, when everything is covered in ice and snow, having a bucket of water poured over your head would be worse than being stabbed in the head.

Su Ran ignored the people who were making a fuss by themselves and left with her water and a manure basket on her back.

Lu Qiuyi's eyes widened at the sight of such clean water in the bucket.

Lu Xiaoyan was alright; she had firewood, so she set up the old-fashioned kettle in the house, boiled the snow, and was able to get a sip of warm water.

Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyan are similar not only in name but also in their actions.

Lu Qiuyi is sensitive to the cold, and she had already finished the water in the thermos that Ma Zhu and Jiang Shan brought her. Now she was extremely thirsty. Ma Zhu and Jiang Shan boiled some snow water, but she complained that the snow water was dirty.

She followed behind Su.

"Ghost Voice, can I come to your house for a drink of water?"

"There's a stream about 20 minutes down the mountain. You can fetch water yourself." Su Ran placed the heavy bucket on the ground.

Lu Qiuyi gritted her teeth, "I'm not feeling well, and the stream water is too cold. Please have pity on me and give me some, okay?"

“Our show is called ‘Self-Sufficient,’ not ‘Freeloading,’” Su Ran said bluntly.

[That ghostly tone is really too much! Qiuyi is just feeling unwell; there's no need for this.]

[Haha, my husband is right. If she has to ask others for everything, is she here to be a princess?]

Exactly! Just because she's delicate doesn't mean she should be given to her! I hate people like that the most.

Lu Qiuyi used this method in the past, and the other party would always accommodate her in front of the camera in order to show that they were kind and generous. But she never expected to stumble with Guiyin.

Lu Qiuyi's face is considered one of the most beautiful in the entertainment industry. Because of her delicate beauty, she has a huge charm that is irresistible to men, and she has always been successful.

Every time Gong Yan is ridiculed for playing a stunning beauty, her fans bring her up as a positive example.

If it weren't for Su Ran recently becoming a hit online, she would definitely be the most talked-about beauty in everyone's mind.

"Ghost Voice, how could you say that to me? I'm hurt. I never wanted to freeload. I just wanted to get closer to you and become friends."

Lu Qiuyi's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful.

After she finished speaking, she looked straight at Su Ran with tears in her eyes.

Hmph, let's see what you say in front of the camera. Besides pandering to me, what else can you do? Daring to refuse is seen as cold-hearted and unkind.

Su Ran stood in front of Lu Qiuyi, tall and slender, with an elegant posture. When she looked down at people, the nonchalant and relaxed feeling that emanated from her bones was like a bewitching breeze that could melt anyone's heart.

It also deliberately made Lu Qiuyi's gentle and lovely temperament seem petty.

"Okay, help me with the work, like drying cow dung."

"what?"

Lu Qiuyi's mouth dropped open. Seriously? She has to work just for a sip of water?

The people in the live stream were all smiles.

[Ghostly voices are recruiting men online.]

Can I have some water? Sure, help me with the chores.

[That's not a good idea, Qiuyi isn't feeling well...]

This is fair, I think it's fine.

[Let me say it again! If you're not feeling well, don't participate in the show!! We at Ghost Voice aren't there to take care of the injured!]

[Exactly! I always tolerated Lu Qiuyi before because of her looks, but now there's someone even more beautiful, with better character and education, why should I tolerate her anymore!]

【We, Guiyin, didn't come here specifically to take care of the wounded, and she has the nerve to ask for it. Doesn't she realize she's much older than Guiyin? She's always acting like a delicate, fragile woman.】

Lu Qiuyi's fans were silenced by the insults.

Lu Qiuyi couldn't get anything out of Su Ran, so he had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Not long after Lu Qiuyi left, a burly man with a flushed, drunken face appeared.

It was Jia Dazhu, who was drunk again and had come to demand someone.

"Where's my wife? Give her back my wife!"

He saw Su Ran and exclaimed, "You're the one who took my wife and daughter away, aren't you? Give them back to me!"

Wang Biqing and Xiao Bao were both behind Lan Yue.

When Jia Dazhu saw this, he immediately came over and tried to pull it away.

Xiao Bao was small and light, and Jia Dazhu suddenly pulled his feet off the ground.

Enraged, Wang Biqing bit Jia Dazhu's hand.

Jia Dazhu slapped Wang Biqing hard across the face, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

thump—

The man was kicked into a pile of cow dung.
