Chapter 503: Stir-fried Pork with Iron Needles

Gu Xi squeezed for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze in from the crowd of onlookers.

When Chen Fengzhi saw Shui Miaomiao coming, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, tidied his hair, and said excitedly:

"Miao Miao, I know that you are the only one who treats me the best. Are you here to see me?"

All the villagers looked at Gu Xi with complicated expressions.

Xiao Shanzi also pulled Gu Xi:

"Miao Miao sister, don't be stupid!"

Gu Xi was speechless. How stupid and crazy must the original owner be! The whole village knew about it!

No, she had to save her face.

She walked into the yard, spat at Chen Fengzhi's face, put her hands on her hips and said:

"See you? Oh, yes, see if you're dead! You can't die, you still owe my family dozens of taels of silver. I heard that if you don't pay off your debts before you die, you will be reborn as an animal in your next life."

Chen Fengzhi's face turned pale, full of disbelief, and he stammered:

"Impossible, Miaomiao, how did you become like this? Don't you like watching me write the most? I will write it for you right away."

Gu Xi was so angry that he almost laughed. How could this be so unconvincing? Even at this time, he still thought that Shui Miaomiao's love for him would last until death.

Chen Fengzhi wiped the spit from his face and continued:

"Miao Miao, believe me, when I pass the imperial examination next year, I will definitely return the money to you double. Even if I pass the imperial examination in the future, I will only marry you."

Gu Xi was disgusted:

"Chen Fengzhi, I feel sick when I hear my name from your mouth!"

"You are the only one who still wants to take the imperial examination. You have lost your title of scholar, right?"

"You cheated my family out of money and almost killed me. Today I'm just here to collect some interest!"

After saying that, Gu Xi raised his fist containing the needle and punched Chen Fengzhi.

Acupuncture won’t kill you, but it hurts terribly!

"Ah!!!", Chen Fengzhi began to scream.

Mother Chen hurried out of the house and hurried to pull Gu Xi.

"Miao Miao, Feng Zhi has always had you in his heart, just hit him a few times to vent your anger, you are all family from now on, you can't be cruel."

Damn, this mother and son are determined to get Shui Miaomiao, right?

Chen Fengzhi grimaced in pain and gasped.

When Shui Miaomiao beat her, it hurt more than when the county government broke his legs.

He cried bitterly and shouted:

"A dragon swimming in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, a tiger in plain water is bullied by dogs. Shui Miaomiao, you will regret insulting and beating me like this today!"

Gu Xi looked disgusted:

"Bah! You're not even a shrimp. Shrimp are high in protein. You're just a bad guy!"

"I'm telling you, you'd better get out of Chenshui Village right away and don't let me see you. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Gu Xi waved his fist again.

Chen Fengzhi was so frightened that he quickly crawled back, looking extremely embarrassed.

[Beat up Chen Fengzhi violently to vent the anger of the original owner, reward: 100 points. ]

[Current points balance: 400.]

[System awakening progress increased by 10%, current progress: 90%. ]

Seeing the system reward, Gu Xi achieved his goal, so he turned around and left without any further delay.

The force works in both directions. If you hit him, your hand will also hurt, right?

Gu Xi thought that if he beat him up again tomorrow, the system should be able to wake up.

Although Chen Fengzhi and his mother settled down in Chenshui Village, they had no food or water, and no neighbors to help them.

Chen's mother took the last remaining money in the family to buy grain, but the neighbors refused to sell it to her, so she had to walk to the town to buy it.

But food prices have now doubled, and she only has enough money to buy two kilograms of brown rice.

Although Gu Xi solved the locust plague in the county and the drought in nearby villages, the overall grain production in the county still decreased a lot.

There was a severe drought, and some losses also occurred in the early stages of the locust plague.

But it is still much better than the situation in other surrounding counties where there was no harvest at all.

After all, the current grain price has only doubled, but Shui Miaomiao said it has increased more than ten times.

The Shui family still has 10,000 kilograms of grain in stock, which they can sell at any time and make twice the profit.

Life in Chenshui Village was getting better and better, and no one in the nearby villages had to flee famine. Gu Xi felt that it was time for her to leave.

So the next day, she went to Chen Fengzhi's house again.

Chen Fengzhi was lying on the bed drinking porridge made from brown rice, which was really unpalatable.

But his family is very poor now and no neighbors are willing to help him, so he can't have this thin porridge for more than a few days.

Seeing Gu Xi coming, Chen Fengzhi shrank back into the bed in fear, but then his eyes lit up again.

"Miao Miao, are you here to see me? Did you bring any food? I'm so hungry."

He felt that there must have been too many villagers gathered at the door yesterday, and Shui Miaomiao was embarrassed to make peace with him, so she took advantage of the fact that no one was around and came to find him again today.

Well, she must have regretted it when she went home yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have come to his house again so early in the morning.

Gu Xi smiled slightly:

"Food? I brought it."

Chen Fengzhi's face was filled with excitement.

"Really? What did you bring?"

He looked at Gu Xi's hands. Why were they empty? Did he leave them outside the door?

Gu Xi waved his fist and punched him:

"I brought a big meat dish, stir-fried pork with iron needles!"

"Ah!!!" Chen Fengzhi howled again.

Chen's mother was washing clothes by the river outside, and there was no one to save him.

Gu Xi outputted a lot and finally received the system reward:

[Beat up Chen Fengzhi and avenge the original owner successfully. Reward: 100 points. ]

[Current points balance: 500.]

[System awakening progress increased by 9%, current progress: 99%. ]

Gu Xi had already walked out of Chen Feng's house. When he saw the progress of awakening, he was stunned.

What does that mean? Didn’t it increase by 10% each time before?

Did I hit him too lightly?

He immediately turned around and went back to Chen Fengzhi's house.

Chen Fengzhi's teeth were still chattering in pain. When he saw Gu Xi coming back, he still had hope in his eyes and pleaded:

"Miao Miao, Miao Miao, I was wrong. I will love you well in the future, and only love you. As long as you lend me some more money, I will use my connections to help me regain my status as a scholar and take the imperial examination!"

Gu Xi didn’t know what to say.

"You are about to die, but you are still thinking about how to cheat me! I will beat you!"

Gu Xi took off his shoes and slapped Chen Fengzhi on the mouth. He really didn't want to hear him say disgusting words anymore.

I'm tired of playing, and the system doesn't give out any more rewards.

Is it possible that I can only earn a reward from Chen Fengzhi once a day?

No, the system prompt just now was that revenge for the original owner was successful. Does that mean she will not be able to earn rewards from Chen Fengzhi in the future?

"System, what's going on? Do I have to kill Chen Fengzhi to complete the mission?"

System: "Host, the original owner's revenge mission has been completed. Chen Fengzhi is now living a life worse than death, so you can no longer gain rewards from him."

Gu Xi was angry:

"There's still 1% left. How am I going to get back?!"

System: "Host, please be patient. We still need to wait for an opportunity."

Gu Xi had no choice but to go home and think of other solutions.
