Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 219: Their Responsibility is Not Her Responsibility

"Alright." Su Yijia didn’t want to make things difficult for the village chief and directly agreed.

The village chief secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and glared at Xia Pengzhan, who was still cowering behind him. Xia Pengzhan immediately bowed and bent repeatedly, "I’ll go back to my room and get it. The money is all in there." Without giving Su Yijia and the others a chance to speak, he hurriedly ran back to his room.

In no time, he returned with a small stack of money. He originally wanted to give it directly to Su Yijia. However, when he looked up and saw Su Yijia’s beautiful but discerning face, he took two steps back in fear. He quickly handed the money to the village chief instead.

The village chief cursed him in his heart for being useless. He could only grit his teeth and take the money himself, walking up to Su Yijia. "Comrade Su, this is the compensation Xia educated youth is giving you. Thank you for forgiving him this time."

"Only this time," Su Yijia took the money and looked at the couple with cold eyes.

The village chief quickly turned around and glared at Xia Pengzhan and Yuan Xiangning. "What are you two dumbfoundedly standing there for? Hurry up and come over to apologize."

Xia Pengzhan could only lower his head and walk towards Su Yijia. However, he found that Yuan Xiangning hadn’t followed. He went back and pulled her over.

"Comrade Su, I’m sorry. I spoke and acted without thinking. I hope you can forgive me," Xia Pengzhan apologized with sincere tone, setting an example of being able to bend and stretch.

Yuan Xiangning was a bit reluctant, but thinking of his eyes just now, she could only suppress her tears and say, "I’m sorry, Comrade Su! I spoke without thinking and slandered you."

"Alright, I won’t hold it against you," Su Yijia waved her hand disinterestedly.

The village chief said some words of thanks again, and everyone dispersed.

Su Yijia returned to her room and took a large cloth bag filled with medicine. Then she called Gao Huabin to deliver the washed steamer and stove to the room where Qin Kaize and the others slept.

They all knew that these formulas were supposed to be kept secret, so no one entered the room. Instead, they stood guard outside the door.

Su Yijia prepared the medicine for repairing bodily functions and placed it in the steamer. Then she put the three chicken hearts into her personal space.

She borrowed three daily points from 666 and refined thirty Great Strength Pills in one go.

Only then did she open the door and look at Xia Weiguo with some struggle in her eyes. "Uncle Xia, can you and Kaize come in? I want to discuss something with you."

"Okay." Xia Weiguo didn’t hesitate and immediately pushed Qin Kaize in.

After sitting face to face, Su Yijia took a deep breath before asking, "Uncle Xia, did you go to do something today and fail?"

"How did you know we failed?" Xia Weiguo was somewhat shocked.

"If something big happened, you wouldn’t have stayed at the Educated Youth Center all the time. And that unpleasant expression on your face can only mean that things didn’t go well," Su Yijia explained before continuing, "Since the first attempt failed, it will only get harder in the future. So, can I try?"

"No!" Xia Weiguo didn’t hesitate and immediately refused with a firm tone.

Qin Kaize’s eyes darkened even more, and he blinked forcefully, indicating his refusal. Seeing his young wife stubbornly insisting, looking as if she was determined to take a chance, he was truly getting angry.

"Jiajia, don’t be stubborn."

"I’m not being stubborn. I helped resolve the issue with the old professor last time," Su Yijia recounted her successful case. She had already planned it out. As soon as they entered the village, she would immediately grab the items before anyone could react and use a fake item as a cover, allowing them to be snatched away. The real items would be hidden in her personal space.

As long as Uncle Xia and his men provided assistance outside the village without being detected, and considering she also had a sedative bracelet, it should be enough. Even though those people were ruthless and had a hundred percent chance of choosing a deadly attack against her, she had a danger warning system and could completely avoid fatal injuries. As long as the injuries weren’t fatal, she could use the medicine to repair her bodily functions and save her life.

"It’s different this time! Getting close to the border means more people and even more dangerous ones," Qin Kaize was genuinely exasperated. If his body could move, he would have wanted to spank the girl in front of him. How dare she even think of such a thing?

"But I have a sedative bracelet, and I’m strong," Su Yijia raised her wrist, which was as delicate as snow, and shook it. However, Qin Kaize and Xia Weiguo were even more worried seeing her slender arms.

"No! We will never agree to this no matter what," Xia Weiguo’s attitude became even more resolute.

"But you’re protecting ordinary people with your lives. I also want to contribute. I’m not as weak as you think. You need to consider that we don’t have much time left. If we can’t retrieve what you’re looking for, how many people will suffer, and how many families will be torn apart? The village chief’s wife invited me to collect mushrooms in another village tomorrow. If you agree, we’ll go to that village directly tomorrow. If you don’t agree, then we’ll go to another village first," Su Yijia looked sincerely at Qin Kaize and Xia Weiguo.

"No matter what you say, we cannot let you take the risk. You’re already giving them all Great Strength Pills and such potent ointments and solutions. If you still can’t complete the mission, it just means we’re not good enough. Jiajia, you need to remember, protecting ordinary people is our responsibility. Even though you’re married to Ze, you don’t need to bear the responsibilities he once did. You’re also an ordinary person, and a very important member of our family, so we will do our best to protect you and let you live well," Xia Weiguo softened his tone a bit, but his words were clear in expressing his thoughts.

Qin Kaize also blinked, "I won’t agree. Forget about it!"

Listening to their final decision, Su Yijia felt somewhat disappointed and lowered her head, "Then I’ll go collect mushrooms with the village chief’s wife tomorrow."

Seeing her like this, Qin Kaize felt both frustrated and heartbroken. But he absolutely couldn’t agree to her wild idea. Afraid that staying in the room longer would soften his heart when seeing her pitiful appearance, Qin Kaize asked Xia Weiguo to push him back to the courtyard.

After everyone left, Su Yijia sighed helplessly, "666, you’ve seen it too. It’s not that I don’t want to complete the mission, they simply won’t tell me anything. They’re the only ones who know the location of the hidden items. If they won’t tell me, I can’t complete the mission."

"The items are in the attic of the highest plaque in Yongyang Village," 666 didn’t give her any reaction time and directly revealed the location of the hidden items. Well, your system has no integrity at all, just for the sake of getting me to do the mission.

Su Yijia’s lips twitched, feeling that it was a bit stupid. "Even if you tell me the location, if they won’t tell me, how can I explain retrieving the items? And if they don’t provide assistance, how can I face hundreds of people alone? Do you think I’m invincible?"
