Chapter 86: The extent of being blind in both eyes and black in the other.
Those massive muscles are really hard to ignore.
Is this the farming novel world the system mentioned, the one where a stepmother raises a child? Is the stepmother a man? Or is this person just a muscular hunk?
Gu Xixi planned to wait until the other party revealed themselves before speaking, so as not to say anything hurtful.
"Waaaaah!" The round-faced boy the man was leading plopped down on the ground in fright and burst into tears. "Ghost! Ghost! Mommy, are we dead?"
As soon as he cried, the baby on the man's back also started to cry, and in an instant, the scene became somewhat out of control.
Gu Xixi was terrified of children, and hearing this crying sent chills down her spine; she wished she could cover her ears. But then she heard the key word, "mother," so this person was a woman?!
Gu Xixi carefully observed the trading partner. She seemed to have gained a lot of weight for some reason, but also had well-developed muscles due to excessive exercise or labor.
Moreover, he is exceptionally tall, which is why he gives the initial impression of being a man.
[The female protagonist in this world has a story of overcoming adversity, including her appearance.] Once the system explained, Gu Xixi understood, but the setting before the overcoming adversity was a bit too ruthless.
The woman had been wary, but in the chaos, she couldn't help but try to comfort the children first. As she soothed the two babies, her voice trembled, yet she mustered the courage to face the crowd, "Who...who are you?"
There were both men and women here, dressed strangely, but they all looked like wealthy people.
Where did she end up? She was just going back to her parents' home to borrow food as usual, and she only stopped to rest in the cave on her usual route.
Just as Gu Xixi was about to speak, she heard the man and the little boy's stomachs growling loudly. The whole room fell silent, seemingly out of embarrassment, and the little boy stopped crying.
"Chen Yu, Jiang Xi, have the chefs make some noodles and add two eggs," Gu Xixi instructed first, then smiled warmly at the adult and two children in front of her.
"Hello, my name is Gu Xixi. I am a businesswoman who travels all over the world and does business with others. I am a good person, so don't be afraid."
Even after she said that, the three men opposite her still stared at her with timid and hesitant eyes. The woman became even more wary. "Merchant, it's a deal. I won't sell my children, not a single one."
Although several of them were not her biological children, each child was her precious treasure, and she would never sell them, absolutely not.
“You’ve misunderstood. I don’t buy or sell children. I’m a legitimate businessman, not a human trafficker. You should have noticed that our world is quite different from yours. So, you can just trade me what I need from your world.”
“If we were really human traffickers, wouldn’t we have tied up all three of you by now, with so many of us?” Gu Xixi said sincerely.
Where did this person travel from? When will she awaken her self-awareness? Her comeback story will only begin when she awakens.
Chen Yu brought over a large bowl of egg noodles, and Jiang Xi took three sets of bowls and chopsticks, placing them all on the table, emitting the aroma of food. The woman and the little boy stared intently at the noodles on the table, their eyes filled with longing.
Gu Xixi waved her hand, "Let's eat first and then talk about the gift I gave you."
The little boy couldn't control himself at all and ran straight towards the stone table. The woman couldn't stop him. She stood there for a while, then seemed to make up her mind. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran after him.
The mother and child began to wolf down their food, as if they hadn't eaten for many days. The baby on her back was emaciated. Is this what the world is like after war?
Gu Xixi remembered that the supermarket sold milk powder and baby bottles, so she went in, made a can of milk powder, and held it up to show the woman, "This is milk powder, just like human milk, it can be given to babies. Would you like to give it to your child?"
The woman looked at the baby bottle, feeling as if she had seen it somewhere before. The shape of the nipple on the bottle made her blush, but she also felt that the world was so magical, that there were such absurd yet reasonable things.
She made a tough decision. If she and Sibao were going to be poisoned, they had already eaten noodles and were bound to die anyway. There was no point in the baby on her back living, so she might as well eat her fill and not starve to death.
So she carefully put the baby down and held him in her arms, quickly took the bottle from Gu Xixi's hand, and, under Gu Xixi's guidance, put the bottle into the baby's mouth.
The baby instinctively begins to suckle, making satisfied "mmm" sounds.
The woman smiled with relief, then quickly resumed eating her noodles. Gu Xixi checked the time and realized that more than ten minutes had passed. She simply went to the supermarket and grabbed a few bags of milk powder, a bag of rice, and some vegetables.
Gu Xixi waited until the woman and boy finished eating before pointing and saying, "These are also my gifts. This is called milk powder... it can be given to children..."
After Gu Xixi finished explaining, the group still looked ashen-faced. After another ten minutes or so, the round-faced boy finally smiled and said, "Mom, we're not dead. There's no poison in the noodles, really no poison."
The woman belatedly realized what was happening, and looking at the baby who was well-fed and sleeping so peacefully for the first time, she burst into tears of joy.
She really, actually met some good people!!
This must be a deity!
She immediately pulled the little boy to his knees on the ground, saying, "This humble woman, Zhang, thanks you for saving my life. I have no way to repay you. You can give me anything you want, and I am willing to do the deal you just mentioned. However, I don't know what I can do for you."
After all, she had nothing but seven children.
Gu Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. The first step in building trust had finally been successfully taken. She sat down opposite Zhang Shi and said, "I want you to help me farm and harvest crops. I want you to escape your current poverty and have plenty of food and clothing."
Zhang immediately shook her head, "My benefactor, this, this is not something a woman like us can do. No, it won't do. My benefactor, can I go home first and have my parents-in-law come to find you? My father-in-law is the head of the family. All I can do is give birth, do laundry, and cook."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixi nearly fainted.
Okay, she hasn't developed a sense of self yet, so I'm not angry. Gu Xixi comforted herself.
[Brother Tongzi, how can she awaken her self-awareness? Can I beat her up?]
Otherwise, when will her plan be able to proceed smoothly? If she continues to hold this mindset, I really don't trust her to do business with her, to buy land and farm there.
The system's concise statement, "I don't know," left Gu Xixi in despair.
"No, only you can come through this passage, which means you are the chosen one by heaven. You are unique. Zhang, what is your real name?"
Gu Xixi plans to start with her cup size; that should be more effective, since she can even believe in the karaoke bars of that world.
"My name is Zhang Chunhua."
“Alright, Zhang Chunhua, I’m telling you, you can do it. You’re better than the man in your family. You can do anything you want. From now on, take this grain back, get better, buy land, hire workers to farm for me, and trade with me to get rich. Are you in or not?”
Gu Xixi's words were forceful and resounding, a wake-up call to action.
“Tell me, can you do it? Do you want to live a prosperous life? Do you want to stop being bullied? Do you want to never go hungry again?”
“Mother, I want to eat my fill every day. You do all the housework and farm the land. Grandpa and Grandma do nothing. Father has been dead for a long time. Aren’t you the best person in the family?”
The little boy didn't understand why it couldn't be done.
Yes, why not? Women can't do business, but they can work hard in the fields. Women can't be out in public; they have to stay home and serve their in-laws... It seems like it's all just men saying that...
Yes, if she wants to do it, why can't she? As long as she has money and food, the village chief would have to listen to her.
Zhang Chunhua suddenly felt a clarity in her mind, a clarity she had never experienced before.
[Host, please note that the trading partner, Zhang Chunhua, is beginning to develop self-awareness.]
