The person who prepared the food would get one crystal core. Although it was only one, it would allow a normal family to live well for a few days.
“I’ll do it, why won’t I?” Upon hearing about the crystal core, Yang Jindi immediately stood up.
What a joke! That was a crystal core they were talking about. Who didn’t want it? It only required making a few bites of food for them.
Yang Jindi started to get busy and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They all disliked her, but they were all from one village. They saw each other daily and could not say much.
Most importantly, they were afraid of Yang Jindi’s pestering nonsense.
Fortunately, they had the Village Chief to hold her down.
Upon thinking of this, everyone’s eyes became very respectful as they looked towards Gu Cheng.
Qin Yi saw it happen, a smirk full of mockery appearing on her face.
This old man’s methods were truly worthy of applause. He had reaped a large amount of respect unknowingly, and at the same time, making everyone hate Yang Jindi even more.
Qin Yi thought about it. There would soon be a day when Yang Jindi would spill the secrets of the ancestral hall. However, the group of people would not believe her, as she had unfortunately become infamous.
Although Yang Jindi said she would get busy, she cooked a simple porridge. It was the simplest of porridge, without any vegetables present.
Gu Cheng looked at the plain porridge and turned to everyone apologetically, “Everyone, have some. We will have better food tomorrow.”
They had brought supplies with meat and what not. It was not that they could not prepare the meat, rather that Yang Jindi could not be bothered to do so.
Yang Jingdi poured a big bowl of thick porridge for w.a.n.g Qiang and herself. She glanced at everyone happily, patting w.a.n.g Qiang’s back.
Sensing the villagers staring at her, she smirked, “Eat up. What’re you guys looking at me for? It’s already good that you have food. See? Some people don’t even have porridge to eat.”
With that said, she glared at Qin Yi’s trio.
‘Shameless b.i.t.c.hes, I will starve you guys to death.’
Everyone felt that her words were reasonable. At the very least, they had porridge to fill their tummies, while the trio in the corner had nothing to eat.
Upon thinking about this, the porridge in their hands seemed to become delicious.
“You…” w.a.n.g Wenwen was infuriated, standing up when she heard Yang Jindi’s provocation.
They were blind, for Qin Yi had plenty of things.
Qin Yi pulled her back, reasoning with her, “Why’re you bickering with her? Are you not afraid of getting your hands dirty?”
w.a.n.g Wenwen agreed. In a while, they would be the ones slapping their faces.
Only Huang Ying, who was close to them, walked over. She carried a bowl of porridge and handed it to Qin Yi.
“Here, have some.”
Qin Yi turned around.
The little girl was pretty, but she was somewhat malnourished, and her complexion was a pale yellow.
Huang Ying looked at Qin Yi while Qin Yi looked back at her. Huang Ying’s face flushed red. She was cowardly and did not seek to curry favor. It was only the first time someone was looking at her so warmly.
But… This big brother was really handsome.
“Stinking brat! I gave you porridge to eat. Who told you to give it to outsiders? Some people said they didn’t want to eat our food, so why did you send it over? Oh, I know! Did you fall for this brat? He is still quite young and doesn’t know what shyness is. Truly embarra.s.sing!”
Yang Jindi did not forget to look over at Qin Yi.
When she saw Huang Ying hand the porridge over to Qin Yi, she immediately stood up and spit out all sorts of curse words.
