The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits

Han Zixuan wanted to say something, but he seemed too shocked at the moment.

By the time Su Li finished tidying her bowl and came out, Han Zixuan's figure was nowhere to be seen.

However, the loyal little tail left on him dutifully reported his whereabouts to her.

Han Zixuan had sneaked off to the Old Qin's house next door.

He could be heard soulfully questioning, "Is the effect of that medicine truly so overbearing?"

This time, a strange male voice spoke, presumably Yu Zhenzhen's husband.

"Such a good thing, if it weren't mandated from above that Huo Wei must take it, who would be willing to waste it on a lower-class person like her."

A tone full of jealousy.

Lower-class person—this was the second time Su Li heard them use this term.

Su Li considered whether to directly perform a Soul Search on them; that way, no matter how deeply hidden the secrets, they would all lay bare before her.

"Exactly, if we weren't constantly exposed to the vision range of those above, I would have swapped out the package long ago." Han Zixuan, aside from jealousy, was also filled with disdain towards his wife.

Hearing this, Su Li's fingers moved involuntarily.

Her Divine Sense swiftly spread over the entire courtyard, searching in a grid pattern, but found nothing.

She did not detect any surveillance equipment, nor any extraordinary energy fluctuations here.

If there were, she should have been aware when she first descended, so overhearing Han Zixuan now left her in utter disbelief.

Su Li would not arrogantly assume Han Zixuan was talking nonsense; she could only think the other party was deft enough to elude even her detection.

Her original plans could not be carried out; this world was interesting.

Clearly, it appeared to be a closed-off setting, yet whether it was the emergence of medicine or Han Zixuan's so-called surveillance... all indicated the prowess of the organization Han Zixuan belonged to.

The original owner's small town wasn't too small, further extending into various villages. However, she had never left the town from her childhood to adulthood.

The only two opportunities to go outside—one when she was admitted to college, and another out of a sudden urge to see the outside world—were both ruined by coincidentally perfect reasons.

So perfect that not a single flaw could be picked out.

A force was preventing this body from leaving the confines of the small town.

Yet, what secret did the original owner harbor that made her worth the effort to confine her within the town limits?

The information the original owner had encountered and absorbed from childhood to adulthood, most or even all of it, was probably fabricated with intent by the other party.

Her surroundings were filled entirely with lies.

Thus, the last thing the original owner discovered, that her distant siblings were not biologically related, seemed highly likely, with a 90 percent certainty of being true.

If it wasn't for the deeply engraved memories in the original owner's mind of the hardships of a ten-month pregnancy and the traumatic scenes of childbirth, Su Li might have thought the so-called childbirth was merely a guided illusion.

While Su Li was pondering, her eardrums were suddenly pierced by a sharp female voice.

The gentle and soft voice of Yu Zhenzhen was gone, replaced with a wary tone as she asked Han Zixuan, "Why are you borrowing food from me? It's only the first day, and there's six days until the next food distribution. You're a principal figure and get more resources than us but still eyeing mine."

Embarrassed, Han Zixuan said, "Mainly because all the food was eaten by Huo Wei, and now I'm a bit hungry."

Early in the morning, he hadn't had a drop of water.

Old Qin awkwardly tried to mediate, "Didn't we cook some dumplings, give Zixuan a portion...."

Before Old Qin finished, Yu Zhenzhen, like a fiery pepper, retorted, "If you want to give, give from your own share, don't use mine to play the good person."

"I'm telling you, in the future, we won't have any extra supply subsidies. They said from above, we need to truly integrate, so you'd better be prepared to face hunger."

It seemed Yu Zhenzhen knew more inside information than the other two.

But their conversations were always vague, and Su Li couldn't decipher the specific meanings behind their words.

There was a rustling sound again, and Han Zixuan could be heard begrudgingly thanking Old Qin.

It appeared Yu Zhenzhen's husband gave some food to Han Zixuan.

As Han Zixuan seemed ready to return, Su Li nonchalantly withdrew her spying on him, lazily reclining in a rocking chair, gently rocking to start digesting her meal.

When Han Zixuan stepped into the room with one blackened face, by the time he lifted his other foot, his expression had quickly returned to normal, even raising a slight smile tinged with emotion.

The master of disguises had come online.

Su Li laughed twice inwardly, then pointed with authority at the messy table.

"Zixuan, go and wash the bowls, will you?"

In the past, the original owner was weak, but still did small chores. As for Su Li, that was absolutely impossible.

Especially with her justified attitude, making Han Zixuan feel like a long-term laborer in the landlord's family.

Seeing Han Zixuan about to lose his temper, Su Li blinked expectantly, and the result...

He held back, forcing an ugly smile.

Su Li felt she hadn't hit his limit yet, determined to test more next time.

She was the very embodiment of a drama queen, not believing she couldn't incite their anger.

Time passed quickly with Su Li stirring things up.

In the meantime, the Han Family's food was consumed in one meal, leaving it to Han Zixuan to think of a way for the rest.

Su Li didn't bother exploring his methods; as long as there was food, it was enough for her.

After all, a good husband wouldn't let his wife starve, would he?

But seeing other people's less vibrant complexions in the courtyard made it obvious what methods Han Zixuan used.

Su Li leisurely stepped out of the room, wandering around the courtyard, nodding with satisfaction at the sight of others' somewhat emaciated bodies.

This should be the image of laborers in this era, after all.

"Zhenzhen, I envy you, you seem to have slimmed down a lot, unlike me, feels like I'm gaining weight, Zixuan feeds me too well, I just can't not eat."

Su Li raised her swan-like neck, speaking with a bragging tone.

Watching Yu Zhenzhen biting her molars, Su Li felt very pleased.

Currently, despite others in the courtyard being enthusiastic about her, there was also a hint of gritted teeth.

And Yu Zhenzhen was the most among them, yet she had to wear the biggest smile facing Su Li.

After all, their relationship was supposedly the best among everyone here.

Yu Zhenzhen wished to poke Huo Wei's eyes blind, considering her blind.

Couldn't she see that she wasn't slender from dieting, but rather emaciated from hunger, her complexion sallow, with sunken cheeks?
