Chapter 7: Provocation
Chapter 7: Provocation
Wen Luozhi noticed his actions and felt a pang of sadness. She set up a small table, placed the food on it, picked up the chopsticks with both hands, and handed them to him. "Second brother, eat," she said gently, completely unlike her previous fierce and ruthless self.
Wen Zizhong was flattered. He wiped his hands on his clothes and pushed the chopsticks in front of her, saying in a flustered manner, "Second brother has been lying in bed all day and is not hungry at all. You eat!"
He does nothing all day but eats meat, where does he get the nerve?
Wen Luozhi put on a stern face and said angrily, "This was saved for Second Brother! If Second Brother doesn't eat it, I'll give it to Sixth Brother!"
"What? What are you giving me, little sister?!" Wen Zixun, who was outside, rushed into the house excitedly when he heard Wen Luozhi mention him.
Wen Luozhi glanced at the food on the small table and then at him, saying nonchalantly, "Second Brother said he doesn't eat meat, so Sixth Brother can eat it for him." After saying that, she winked at him.
"Alright! This meat is so delicious!" He smacked his lips seemingly unintentionally, as if savoring the taste.
Receiving her sister's signal, she grinned and took the chopsticks from her hand, then reached for the bowl of meat on the small table.
Wen Zizhong rushed over to protect the two bowls on the small table and said in a deep voice, "Luo Luo specially saved these for me, I won't give them to you!"
As he spoke, he freed one hand and snatched the chopsticks from Wen Zixun's hand, then began to eat.
Wen Zixun pouted. "Second brother is so childish! Even when there's something delicious, his sister has to go to great lengths to trick him into eating it."
Wen Luozhi raised an eyebrow. "You think you can't handle me, huh?"
"Second brother, you must finish them all, don't let my good intentions go to waste," she said with a smile as she got up and walked out.
As soon as "Luo Luo" reached the door, Wen Zizhong called her name from behind.
She turned around and gave him a sweet smile without hesitation, asking, "What's wrong, Second Brother?"
Wen Zizhong was stunned. Wen Luozhi called out again, "Second Brother?"
He snapped out of his reverie, smiled at her, and said, "It's nothing, your second brother just wanted to tell you to get some rest."
Wen Luozhi nodded knowingly and said with a smile, "I know, Second Brother. Goodnight, Second Brother." After saying that, she skipped away.
Wen Zizhong was thrilled. His sister smiled at him and called him "Second Brother" several times!
He held the chopsticks and smiled foolishly; his usually serious face now looked dazed.
Yang Guilan was startled by his appearance. She walked over and waved her hand in front of him. "Husband?"
Wen Zizhong realized what had happened and, with a flushed face, told her what had just occurred.
"Guilan, do you think Luoluo doesn't blame me anymore?" Wen Zizhong asked his wife with some concern.
Yang Guilan slapped him on the back and scolded, "What's it to you?! What did you do wrong that she should blame you for!"
Before Wen Zizhong could say anything more, Yang Guilan covered his mouth and whispered, "Your little sister specially saved this for you. Eat it and go to sleep! Don't wake Xiaohu up."
Wen Zizhong nodded, and Yang Guilan then removed her hand and turned to tidy up the clothes rack.
She secretly wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes. If anyone's to blame, it's that brat! Why did she have to eat that damn wild pheasant so late at night!
But what's the use of blaming her? What's done is done! She knows that her mother-in-law has felt guilty over the years, so even though she's lazy and cunning at home, her mother-in-law turns a blind eye.
If anyone's complaining, she's stopped complaining a long time ago. What could she, as the sister-in-law, possibly care about when a young girl is so immature? Even her brother doesn't mind.
On the eldest son's side, Er Ya, clutching her stomach, laughed contentedly, "Mom, my aunt is so kind! She gave me a big chicken wing and several pieces of meat!"
Li Chunxing affectionately patted her head. She was also happy. Her sister-in-law was really something today... She gently stroked her belly.
Daya nestled in Li Chunxing's arms, looked up at her with concern, and asked, "Mother, do you think it's possible that Auntie just temporarily injured her head and that's why she's so well now?"
"If my head gets better, won't it..." She shook her head fearfully, "Then let it not get better!"
Hearing her words, Wen Ziming scooped her up, glanced outside, and whispered to her, "Daughter, you can't just say things like that, or your grandma will beat you if she hears you!"
Daya nodded with wide eyes, indicating that she understood.
"Don't worry! Your aunt's head isn't damaged. As long as you don't upset her, she'll be the same as she was today."
Daya was skeptical, nodding and then shaking her head.
……
Wen Luozhi took a nice hot shower and then collapsed onto the bed.
She touched her face, unable to believe that what was happening to her was real. She still hoped that she would wake up one day and be back in her big villa.
However, the bed beneath her, which was causing her pain all over her body, pulled her back to reality.
Yes, she's just unlucky; she came here to survive.
Ugh, she raised her hand in the pitch black, and rolled around on the hard bed out of boredom.
[The "Starving to the Brink of Wealth: Farming and Farming System" is at your service. Host Wen Luozhi died in an earthquake. The system has automatically bound itself to you, saving your life. A newbie gift pack of 200 points is provided. Do you wish to confirm receipt?]
A mechanical voice sounded, and Wen Luozhi, who was rolling around, was stunned. Just as she was wondering what was going on, a flash of inspiration appeared in her mind, and a page that looked like an online game appeared.
Her name is in the bottom left corner, and the top row from left to right lists: [Points], [Shop], [Backpack], [Coins], [Taskboard], [System Messages], and [Help].
[System Message] It was flashing there, showing a message. Wen Luozhi raised her hand and tentatively tapped it as if tapping a tablet.
The message unfolded, asking if she wanted to claim 200 points. She raised her hand and clicked "yes".
The system automatically returned to the page, where the points section initially showed 0 but now displays 200.
Wen Luozhi suddenly got excited. Was this the essential cheat code for transmigrating? Oh hahaha, it seems she's not so bad off after all!
She chuckled foolishly, and the mechanical voice sounded again: "Host, please do not get overly excited. Complete the tasks on time to help the system upgrade, otherwise the system will self-destruct and take back your life."
Wen Luozhi angrily retorted, "You're the dog! You electronic monster!"
[Host insulted this wealth-generating system, points -50, current points: 150]
The cold voice rang out again. Wen Luozhi was incredulous. This broken system actually had this kind of operation?!
[Please note, host, this system is called the "Starving to the Point of Dizziness: Farming and Getting Rich System," not the "Broken System." Saying it wrong again will result in a -50 point deduction.]
"Okay, okay! Starving to the point of delirium, get rich and farm!" She quickly threw out the words she wanted to curse at it, because if it was cursed to the point of self-destruction, her life would be over!
She was overwhelmed when she opened the [Shop]; it had almost everything for daily life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation.
She patted her half-full stomach, then opened the food section and spent three points to buy a braised chicken leg.
She happily ate the chicken leg as she ate, pondering the system at the same time.
[Task] Suddenly, a notification popped up. She clicked to view it: [Please earn 200 copper coins within three days. The reward for this task is 250 points + a mystery gift pack. Good luck, host!]
Wen Luozhi: It's not 200 points, it's not 300 points, it's 250. Is this broken... no, this starving farming system subtly criticizing her?
After finishing her meal, she took out the wet wipes she had just redeemed with two points and wiped her hands and mouth. Lying on the bed, she wondered how she could earn three hundred copper coins in three days when she couldn't even get enough to eat.
She drifted off to sleep while thinking about it, and the next day Xiaohu came to wake her up.
"Auntie, Auntie!" Little Tiger patted her face in a daze and quickly ran away. He peeked at the person on the bed from behind the door.
Seeing that the person on the bed hadn't moved at all, he wrinkled his little nose, ran over and slapped Wen Luozhi's face hard with his little hand.
"Ouch!" Wen Luozhi woke up instantly with a sharp pain on her face.
She touched her face and looked at the bedside again. Xiao Hu was obviously stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and ran out the door.
He timidly peeked through the door and said, "My aunt is getting up for breakfast. Grandma said she'll give her some sweet water and eggs."
His big eyes welled up with tears, as if he would burst into tears if he said another word.
He wouldn't have come if his mother hadn't insisted that he wake his aunt up!
He had yelled before, and as a result, he got a spanking, which hurt a lot!
Wen Luozhi was charmed by his appearance and beckoned to him softly, saying, "Little Tiger, come to Auntie's here quickly."
