The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1397 - 1410: Days of Being Pampered by the Escape Boss (11)

Chapter 1397: Chapter 1410: Days of Being Pampered by the Escape Boss (11)

"Thank you."

The villager hesitated for a moment, reaching out to take the hoe, only to find he couldn’t pull it from the girl’s grip.

Exerting even more force, Su Li lightly held the other end of the hoe, as firmly as a pair of iron pliers.

The other people, hearing Brother Zhao’s exclamation, ran to the door to see what was happening. Seeing Su Li standing intact not far away, these newcomers all breathed a sigh of relief.

Having not experienced the harshness of the game, these newcomers still had soft hearts and didn’t want someone they had interacted with to die in front of them.

No one died, that’s great.

Xu Qingqing pursed her lips and also commented, "Although Su Li is very lucky, she’s too reckless."

"Why does it seem like that uncle appears to be a bit afraid of Su Li?"

Someone muttered softly, and with this reminder, the others began to notice something too.

It was as if Su Li was toying with him, the uncle pulled several times but couldn’t get the hoe out of Su Li’s hand.

His eyes burning with wicked fire, wanting to vent but holding back, his gaze darted around as if intimidated by something.

They remembered this villager; he was the one talking to them yesterday evening and left the worst impression on them.

Creepy, just like being watched by a venomous snake.

"Uncle, I picked up your hoe for you, your tool for work, shouldn’t you thank me properly?"

Xu Qingqing: "....."

Others: "...."

Xu Qingqing wasn’t surprised, this was indeed something Su Li could do.

In the outside world, Su Li was someone who loved to haggle. If Uncle ever smiled kindly at her, she would be displeased and then do something to upset everyone.

Uncle Su always said Su Li was like her mother, too calculating, not broad-minded.

"Wh-what kind of thanks?" The village uncle couldn’t quite comprehend.

Su Li, with an expression of obviousness, said, "I’ll just eat at your place, go cook."

Xu Qingqing couldn’t stand it and raised her voice, "Su Li, don’t make things difficult for others for no reason."

"It’s just picking up a hoe, a small favor, what’s there to thank for... If you’re hungry, I have some food here."

Xu Qingqing’s kind gesture immediately earned her a grateful look from the village uncle.

Su Li coldly snorted, "Why meddle? Uncle wants to thank me."

She cracked her knuckles, the sound made the village uncle stiffen for a moment, then he silently turned and headed to the kitchen.

Xu Qingqing: "...."

Xiao Nan tugged at Xu Qingqing, "Qingqing, you’re kind, don’t trouble yourself with such a mean girl."

Su Li found it confusing; what had she done to be labeled as bad?

Damn, they’re not innocent themselves, yet they judge others.

Brother Zhao, however, changed his view of Su Li, secretly giving her a thumbs-up behind her back.

To curse at and confront an NPC and still be alive, this newcomer was something else.

She’s leveled up now, directly extorting from an NPC... If she can survive tonight, he’ll kneel and call her daddy.

Brother Zhao’s eyes scanned over Xiao Nan, the village uncle, and Fourth Aunt in the room... The boss of this game must be among these NPCs.

He leaned more towards Xiao Nan, but that guy clearly only had eyes for Xu Qingqing, showing some animosity towards the rest of them.

----------

The village uncle’s house was nearly half the size of Fourth Aunt’s house next door. Besides him, his elderly wife, a middle-aged woman who seemed a bit sharp, also lived there.

Though called an elderly wife, their ages seemed mismatched, with his wife appearing at least ten years younger.

The village uncle and his wife seemed to be avoiding Su Li, perhaps sensing something.

Like other families in the village, the village uncle’s house also had an empty room.

It was kept tidy, and when Su Li casually flipped through reading notes on the desk, a slightly yellowed photo fell out.

It was a handsome young boy whose appearance felt familiar.

Su Li held the photo in her hand, but the village uncle silently appeared behind her and snatched it away.

Su Li raised an eyebrow, looking down at the village uncle’s tiptoeing footsteps, "Why do you walk soundlessly like a ghost?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Seeing the village uncle didn’t answer, Su Li bluntly continued to ask, "Is the person in the photo your son? Is this room where your son lived? Where has your son gone?"

"Time to eat." The village uncle turned his back and ignored Su Li.

Su Li chuckled, looking meaningfully at the shadow cast on the wall.

Just now, this village uncle’s nails were sharp, what was he planning?

But nowadays, everyone talks about being civilized and innovative; even village folks have to keep up with the trends, right? Su Li pondered, she ought to have a little talk with this village uncle.

No sense in keeping long nails like that?

Perhaps helping to trim them later would be good, after all, she’s just that beautiful and kind.

When it came time for lunch, Su Li poked at her bowl of rice, not forgetting to eat.

The village uncle’s young wife, unusually warm, urged, "These are things we saved for special occasions, using them all to treat you, you must eat more."

Su Li: "Of course, I don’t have a habit of wasting food, you can ask Fourth Aunt."

Village Uncle: "What does this have to do with Fourth Aunt?"

Su Li mysteriously grinned, "You’ll find out soon enough."

With that, like a skilled hand prying open Fourth Aunt’s jaw, she pried open the village uncle’s mouth.

A dish of something unidentifiable slipped into the village uncle’s big mouth.

Heaven knows how a normal human mouth could fit so much without choking.

The same method was used, and the second dish went into the village uncle’s wife’s mouth.

Husband and wife are one, they should share the good things, right?

"You, wretch..." The village uncle’s wife seemed unaware of gratitude, thrusting her inch-long nails toward Su Li’s chest.

Su Li: ".... You don’t like cutting your nails either?"

"But I don’t have a nail clipper, so you’ll have to endure it a bit...." Su Li swiped her hand, slicing off several long, black nails.

"Aunt, your nails are so long and black, that’s a bit unruly, isn’t it?"

"Uncle, I seemed to notice your nails were getting long too...."

The village uncle, who had been scowling a moment ago, now forced a twisted smile, stammering, "I, I’m a clean person."

"See...." The village uncle obediently stretched out his rough, dark hand.

"I was a bit rough just now, I was just afraid you’d push back and forth, I was too eager, I’m ashamed.... You should keep the good food for yourselves, you look quite thin."
