Chapter 22: Subjugation

Liu Zhiyan glanced at Liu Qianjin and hesitated a little. It was not unknown that Liu Qianjin, a big man, had a big appetite. She had seen it along the way.

If she shared a meal with Liu Qianjin, she would suffer a little.

These days, no one was rich. If they didn't plan their food well, they would starve, not to mention Liu Qianjin.

Seeing Liu Zhiyan's hesitation, she knew what Liu Zhiyan was thinking.

"Go back and think about it. Liu Qianjin and I must share a meal. You can see that Liu Qianjin knows nothing and has a child's mind.

He can't cook. I still hope that Liu Qianjin can help fetch water and chop wood with his strength. Even if he goes out to do something, there will be someone to protect him.

Save him from being eaten by wolves."

She reminded Liu Zhiyan that it was not just a simple matter of eating. There would be many problems in the future!

In addition to his big appetite, Liu Qianjin was actually quite useful.

Others bullied Liu Qianjin for being stupid. She had to let everyone know that Liu Qianjin was very useful.

Even if it is just for Liu Qianjin's role, Liu Qianjin cannot be bullied.

After hearing this, Liu Zhiyan immediately patted her chest to express her position.

"We advance and retreat together, and the three of us have shared the joys and sorrows along the way.

How can I abandon Liu Qianjin? Don't worry, he can eat more.

I don't care."

This statement is somewhat lacking in confidence. In this year, food is hard currency, and no one is so generous and willing to give their rations to others.

"Then you must remember what you said today, don't wait until you eat and complain every day."

"Otherwise, let's separate in advance, so as not to cause trouble at that time, and we can't even be friends."

Xia Zhi would of course say it in advance. Liu Zhiyan's mouth is like a knife. Don't look at the friendly relationship now, that's because everyone is really like friends now.

In the previous life, Liu Zhiyan and I had a lot of tit-for-tat with swords and guns.

Although Liu Qianjin is stupid, a child of a few years old will also have his own personality and dignity.

If you hurt him, he will still be angry.

She owed Liu Qianjin this.

It was okay to take care of Liu Qianjin, but she couldn't hurt others. She was reasonable and didn't bring the grudges from her previous life.

"Okay, okay, since I promised you today, I will definitely not bother with him.

I don't know if I won't need help from others in the future.

Even if it's just making friends, I'm willing to work with you, it's better than working with those people.

Didn't you see the faces of that group of people at dinner yesterday, they wanted to tear the three of us to pieces."

Liu Zhiyan clearly realized that she was now tied to Xia Zhi and Liu Qianjin.

Xia Zhi had a big and thick leg, and she was tied to Xia Zhi, which meant she was tied to Captain Zhou.

When the work was divided in the future, Captain Zhou might take care of her a little for Xia Zhi's sake.

She knew which was more important.

Xia Zhi valued Liu Qianjin so much, and she couldn't bother for Xia Zhi.

"Okay, since you said so, let's divide the work clearly. Each of us will cook for one day, and the other will wash the dishes.

The work of fetching water and chopping wood will be given to Liu Qianjin.

What do you think? Your arm is not working well these two days, so I will temporarily do the cooking and washing dishes for you. When you recover, return these tasks to me."

Liu Zhiyan pouted.

She can cook, but she didn't expect Xia Zhi to divide the work so clearly with her.

She even did two days of work for her and had to return it. She didn't expect Xia Zhi to say that.

Don't say that she didn't have the intention to take advantage of it. She originally thought that she could at least not work for one or two months because of her arm's poor performance.

"Of course, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. We met by chance. If you don't like it, I can move out."

Xia Zhi was not polite at all. She couldn't spoil Liu Zhiyan's bad habits. Liu Zhiyan was like this in her previous life. She liked to be a little lazy and a little clever.

Take a little advantage.

Liu Zhiyan is not a bad person.

But because of her bad mouth and her scheming, she didn't have many good friends on the farm.

Of course, it's not easy to make friends these days. Friends who treat each other sincerely will eventually fall apart because of interests.

This is a result that will be faced in the end of this era.

When we are not competing at the same starting line, we are all brothers and friends from the same place, and we should help each other.

Once everyone starts competing, it's a life-and-death struggle.

So in order to prevent vicious competition in the future, Liu Zhiyan must abide by the rules.

When Liu Zhiyan heard this, her face changed, she pouted, her face was gloomy, and she walked forward alone.

Originally, I thought Xia Zhi would comfort me a little, after all, they lived in the same room.

Saying this really made her a little chilled.

Xia Zhi was actually ready to kick me out because of such a trivial matter without hesitation.

But after walking a long way, she didn't hear any footsteps behind her. She turned around suddenly and saw Xia Zhi and Liu Qianjin talking and laughing far behind her, at least 200 steps away from her.

Liu Zhiyan stamped her feet angrily and glared at the two of them.

"Xia Zhi, go if you want. There are plenty of people who want me if you don't want me."

After saying that, she turned around and left, but she heard Xia Zhi's voice coming from behind with the wind.

"You can go, but you should carry your food."

This time, Liu Zhiyan couldn't leave or not. Yes, more than 100 kilograms of food were still on Liu Qianjin's shoulders.

She looked at her arm that was still hanging.

Liu Zhiyan stood there and cried.

When Xia Zhi and Liu Qianjin came to her, they saw her standing there motionless, with her shoulders shrugged.

Xia Zhi leaned over to take a look.

"Oh, you're crying now. I tell you, it's very cold here in winter. If you get caught in the wind, your face will be cracked.

You better be careful. You won't be able to see this little face when the time comes."

Liu Zhiyan was frightened when she heard this, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to cover her red eyes.

"Xia Zhi, you're too bullying."

The voice came through the handkerchief.

"Liu Zhiyan, I'm not bullying you. People should have a sense of propriety and boundaries.

Your hand is injured now, I'm helping you out of kindness, and I'm not helping you out of duty.

So you're the only one who knows how to take advantage, and I'm a fool who's happy to let others take advantage."

Xia Zhi's half-smiley words finally made Liu Zhiyan's last bit of self-righteousness completely disappear.

I originally thought that she and Xia Zhi were somewhat different because Xia Zhi was dressed shabbily.

This was a natural sense of superiority, but I didn't expect Xia Zhi to be so transparent and rational.

Such a calm and rational person, if she couldn't control him with her actions, she would have to surrender in the end, otherwise she would be embarrassed.
