Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 322 - 10: The Famine Years Without Hunger (Part 10)

Chapter 322: Chapter 10: The Famine Years Without Hunger (Part 10)

When Li Donghua went out, she didn’t meet Li Rengui, so naturally, she couldn’t let him appreciate her beauty.

After Li Donghua and Zhao Jing left, Li Shuning finally pulled Li Chunhua into the kitchen to sit down; she felt sick in that room.

"Mom, do you know why Auntie looked like that?"

Li Chunhua was still a bit confused: "Didn’t your aunt say she was itchy? Maybe she got bitten by a mosquito."

"Mom, you’re so naive. I heard at school that behavior should be called shameless, right? This is our home, and Auntie is a guest here. What kind of guest takes off all her clothes and lies on someone’s bed? Auntie doing such things on your bed is to disgust whom? She’s your own sister. This morning, when Auntie arrived, she was eyeing Dad and wanted to touch him and even wipe his sweat. If Dad hadn’t dodged quickly, Auntie would have succeeded."

Li Shuning sneered, "Mom, Dad has always cherished you, but now Auntie is divorced and has her eyes on Dad, coming over frequently. If one day Dad is taken away, have you thought about what kind of life you’d lead? And what about Auntie’s behavior earlier? If Dad saw it, what would he think? I don’t know what Auntie was doing, but it was definitely nothing good. As for the mat on the bed, I’ll burn it later. Would you feel comfortable having Dad lie on it, Mom?"

Li Shuning was just a child, and she couldn’t say too much, yet even with these few words, Li Chunhua felt her brain was in a muddle.

When Li Shuning was burning the mat in the courtyard, Li Rengui came back and couldn’t help but ask after seeing it. After learning the whole story, his face turned dark.

To be honest, this aunt really doesn’t know her place. Even his own wife can’t distinguish between right and wrong, having to be reminded by their daughter. Truly, they’re living backward now. Back when they just got married, she wasn’t like this.

Li Chunhua was muddled all day, but in the evening, after Li Rengui spoke to her, she was completely awakened.

Indeed, she wasn’t as good as her elder sister in any regard. If her sister wanted to steal Rengui and if it was Rengui, unaware, who walked in instead of them, what would have happened?

A brother-in-law coveting his sister-in-law’s beauty?

Rengui’s reputation would be ruined. If Rengui did fancy her and divorced her, and Mom only liked her elder sister, could she still go back to her mother’s home?

Li Chunhua shivered, and when Li Donghua next came over, Li Chunhua plainly told her not to come around often, as everyone had work to do and they couldn’t entertain her properly. It would be a shame if there was no food to eat.

Li Donghua felt a jolt inside, realizing Li Chunhua had grown wary of her.

After that, Li Chunhua stayed guarded against Li Donghua, leaving no room for Li Donghua to come over again as she still had a sense of shame.

Li Donghua remained quite reputable in the village, with her city-style clothes always attracting attention whenever she went out.

Soon, she hooked up with the village accountant. After being discovered, the storyline played out just the same, and Li Donghua secretly ran away, leaving Zhao Jing behind.

Zhao Jing’s miserable days then began.

And Li Shuning became more vigilant.

After the previous events, Li Chunhua grew wary of Li Donghua, but she probably wouldn’t be cautious about Zhao Jing.

Sure enough, Zhao Jing, bearing injuries, came to their home, pleading for Li Chunhua’s help, saying Grandma was furious with her mother and constantly hit her, forced her to do hard labor, and barely gave her any food, leaving her starving.

Initially, when Li Donghua returned, Zhao Jing was still the treasured granddaughter to Wang Cuicun, but within just a year, Wang Cuicun treated Zhao Jing like this—it was truly heart-wrenching.

Li Chunhua’s heart softened, and she took Zhao Jing in.

Since she took Zhao Jing in, whatever Li Shuning had, Zhao Jing also had. Coincidentally, it was the start of a new school term, so Zhao Jing was sent to school too. However, on the way to school, though Li Shuning had many friends, Zhao Jing was no longer the same and wanted to see Li Shuning dead, yet she never found the chance, not in any rush.

Zhao Jing had strong patience, now currying favor with Li Rengui’s family, even currying favor with Li Shuning. Although she couldn’t get rid of Li Shuning, there would eventually be a chance.

One day, she would become the second aunt’s child.

The second aunt’s family had good conditions, too—if she were just the niece, what good would those conditions do her?

She wasn’t going to walk the old path again. Only with a full belly and money could she live comfortably.

Li Shuning cooked really delicious food. Knowing Zhao Jing was starving, she made very tasty meals, especially those loved by girls.

Whether before or after her rebirth, Zhao Jing hadn’t eaten such good food, and gradually, she couldn’t stop eating.

Girls often can’t control their mouths, and with Li Shuning intentionally making "delicious" high-calorie food for Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing slowly became plumper.

Every time Li Chunhua saw how sensible Li Shuning was by saving some treats for Zhao Jing, she felt very gratified.

Zhao Jing, who was initially skin and bones from suffering, became more rounded and even started to look pretty.

After all, her parents weren’t ugly but quite good-looking, so Zhao Jing was actually very pretty.

Initially, when Zhao Jing went to school with Li Shuning, she was often taunted as an ugly duckling.

Now that she had gained some weight and returned to school, no one bullied her, and some boys even cast secret glances at her.

Naturally, Zhao Jing didn’t think to restrain herself or be cautious anymore.

Li Shuning, however, used her spiritual power, subtly letting Zhao Jing overlook her own figure.

So Zhao Jing kept eating, and by the winter break, she had become quite the chubby girl.

The once skin-and-bone girl turning into a chubby girl warranted praise from everyone, commending Li Rengui’s family for their kind hearts.

Winter break arrived, and both Li Shuning and Zhao Jing no longer needed to attend school, so Li Shuning lifted some of the subtle influences she’d placed on Zhao Jing.

When Zhao Jing realized she’d gained weight, she was somewhat incredulous.

Then, her heart twisted further, her hatred for Li Shuning deepening. If it weren’t for Li Shuning always feeding her, how could she have become so fat?

With the winter break, every household got busier.

Zhao Jing also schemed relentlessly, seeking the right opportunity to take down Li Shuning. But Li Shuning was very cautious, and until the time was right, how could she give Zhao Jing such a chance?

She needed to be fully prepared. Once Zhao Jing dared to make a move, the family should see her true colors, and even if they didn’t see her true nature, she wanted to plant a seed of doubt in Li Chunhua’s heart.

As the New Year approached, people in the village became less restrictive with their children. Many kids enjoyed playing on the frozen river, where they could skate and do other activities.

That day, Li Shuning went skating with her friends.

Zhao Jing immediately followed, sensing her opportunity was coming.
