Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 92: Visiting Her Parents

Yi Roujing, on the bumpy tractor, was contemplating the contents of the book, because in the book, Xia Xingchen was trafficked in Jing City. Back then, Song Yiluo was in Jing City, and Wen Chaokuan was too. How could the Li Family’s siblings be in Jing City? The book didn’t say.

But in the previous life at this time, the original self had already died. Li Xipei’s target was Ding Ancheng. Following him to Jing City made sense.

Now I am not dead, and the Li Family’s siblings are cooperating with Wen Chaokuan. Whether Xia Xingchen’s trafficking will happen earlier is hard to say. My existence really is changing the course of the story, so Yi Roujing dare not ignore it.

"Gu, do you like Xingchen?" Ding Anmin’s words broke the silence; Yi Roujing returned to her senses, looking at the man driving the tractor ahead.

"Yes, but don’t tell her, it might scare her." Gu Shizhao admitted generously.

"But aren’t you two relatives?" Ding Anmin hesitated.

"We’re not blood-related." Gu Shizhao said carelessly. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Gu, you have to work hard, Xingchen is very rule-abiding. It’s not easy to break this restraint." Ding Anmin said with furrowed brows, "Moreover, Xingchen’s stepmother, who is your aunt, is not a good person, you know that. It won’t be easy for Xingchen to become Ancheng’s wife."

"Yes, I know." Gu Shizhao replied, "I won’t be part of the Gu Family in the future."

"Hmm?" Ding Anmin didn’t understand.

"Just leave the Gu Family." Gu Shizhao grinned, "Ding, I’m relying on you."

"Was the agarwood sold?" Ding Ancheng asked.

"Yes, it’s good stuff, after selling it a lot of people asked about it." Gu Shizhao laughed, "Sister-in-law, it’s all thanks to you."

Gu Shizhao turned back to glance at Yi Roujing, gripping the tractor wheel tighter because from the corner of his eye he saw Ding Ancheng smiling in the darkness. This guy was in a great mood, he was sure, looks like his "sister-in-law" flattery had pleased him, how sly.

"Drive carefully." Ding Ancheng said in a low voice, Gu Shizhao clicked his tongue and focused on driving.

"How much was it sold for?" Yi Roujing’s voice was slightly excited.

"Two thousand, I’ll take out the money later and give it to Ding for you, to give to sister-in-law." Gu Shizhao said.

"From now on, whatever I give you, just sell them and give the money to Jing." Ding Ancheng added.

"Okay." Gu Shizhao readily agreed, this sticky sweetness, still calling her Jing, oh how sour, suddenly Gu Shizhao felt he had to try harder.

Yi Roujing glanced at Ding Ancheng, sitting beside her, who squeezed her palm. Pulling away, she felt awkward, not pulling away was uncomfortably hot. Though it was dark, adapting to the light, the outline was visible. It was seen by Ding Anmin and Ding Aiguo across, what a sight.

"That old wood sold for two thousand!" Ding Anmin had been wandering in thoughts, shocked by the two thousand, now snapping back, his voice sharply echoed around.

"Sold only half." Gu Shizhao explained, "There’s still half left, might sell for a higher price."

"Four thousand!" Ding Anguo was also unsettled, "Sister-in-law, when are we going back to the scrapyard?"

"What, it was found at the scrapyard!" Now it was Gu Shizhao’s turn to be unable to stay calm.

"You sure you could recognize valuable stuff at the scrapyard?" Ding Ancheng asked lightly.

Gu Shizhao silenced, yes, he wouldn’t find it if he went, even if found, he wouldn’t think it’s a treasure, it really did look like a piece of old wood, to be honest, it was his first time witnessing it.

"Not that many, I was just lucky last time." Yi Roujing didn’t think her fortune was strong enough to casually pick agarwood at the scrapyard.

By the time they arrived at Dingping Production Team, it was near midnight, Ding Ancheng invited Gu Shizhao to stay overnight at home, sharing a room with Ding Anguo, which Gu Shizhao happily agreed to.

Ding Weihuo and Li Hongying hadn’t fallen into deep sleep, half-awake because they knew Ding Ancheng and the others would come back tonight.

"Thump thump" as soon as the knocking sounded, they woke.

Ding Weihuo went to open the door, Li Hongying went to the kitchen to start a fire and boil water, after dinner she had purposely made white dough dumplings, with oil residue and cucumber egg filling.

"Come in, come in." Ding Weihuo invited Gu Shizhao.

"Hello Uncle Ding, I’m Gu Shizhao, a friend of Ancheng." Gu Shizhao greeted properly.

"Good, good, go wash up first, your aunt is making dumplings, eat and then sleep." Ding Weihuo was very pleased.

"Thank you, Uncle Ding."

Li Hongying’s cooking skills were truly good, Yi Roujing was won over when biting into a dumpling. The pork oil fragrance from the residue was absorbed by the cucumber, yet still chewy, and the more chewed the tastier, combined with the egg’s freshness. Li Hongying controlled the heat perfectly; the cucumber wasn’t mushy.

"Aunt, your cooking skills are really this." Gu Shizhao gobbled down, still didn’t forget to give Li Hongying a thumbs-up.

"Eat more, eat more." Li Hongying courteously invited.

"Tomorrow morning, don’t go to work, take half a day off." Ding Weihuo told Yi Roujing and the others.

"Okay, Dad."

After dinner, almost fell asleep immediately, when Yi Roujing opened her eyes, it was already bright daylight, and Ding Ancheng was nowhere to be seen.

Coming out of the room, Ding Ancheng just happened to return from running, Yi Roujing contemplated again, her exercise had been neglected lately.

Breakfast was white porridge, side dishes, paired with whole grain pancakes.

"I’ll go to my parents’ house later." Yi Roujing thought about the things she bought for her family, better to send them early, since she hasn’t visited her parents’ house since she came.

Yi Roujing looked up and saw Ding Ancheng’s seemingly dissatisfied look projected onto her.

"Are you going?" Yi Roujing asked cautiously.

"Of course." Ding Ancheng raised his right brow, "I’ll take you on the bike later, haven’t seen father-in-law and mother-in-law for a long time."

"You both go, I’ll tell mom and dad." Ding Anmin said.

"The stuff for mom and dad I just sorted out, at noon you..."

"Wait till you get back, giving away what you bought doesn’t sound right." Ding Anmin refused.

"Okay." Yi Roujing responded.

The new Phoenix bicycle had quite a load hanging from the handlebars, two green mesh bags filled with malted milk, milk candies, canned goods, cured meats, roasted duck... anyway, Yi Roujing felt she couldn’t hold on to the handlebar.

Yi Roujing sat on the rear seat, carrying two packages, inside were clothes bought for Yi Shunyin and Liu Huilan, along with a cotton fabric divided into three parts for her brothers and sisters-in-law.

"Oh dear, so many things, Ancheng, Ancheng’s wife, where are you heading, maybe to Xintang Production Team?"

It was work time now, quite a few people in the fields of the team exiting out, Ding Ancheng and Yi Roujing with bags, very conspicuous. Ever since her youngest son divorced, and a new daughter-in-law was discussed, Hupozi walked with straightened back, shouting far away.
