After a while, Shui Ling received a hasty reply from Gong Qianyu.

"Believe me, I am innocent."

Shui Ling suddenly wanted to laugh. Gong Qianyu must have encountered irresistible trouble, and it was the kind of trouble that caused a rotten peach blossom.

But I still believe in him, because I have absolute self-confidence, and other women cannot compare with me.

This is not arrogance. Although there are space objects in this world, no one can carry his own space and let him go in.

Another point is that Gong Qianyu grew up with me, and I know him very well.

He is like a cat in front of himself, but like a tiger in front of other women, he never looks good on her.

If someone insists that love is blind, when a person has learned advanced knowledge and understands high technology, he will not like the kind of woman who sticks to the rules.

If the above are all excuses, and I think they are, then after Gong Qianyu’s personal experience and the bitter consequences of women’s competition for favor, will he make the same mistake again and turn his home into a battlefield for women?

Shuiling rubbed her cheeks with her hands, she really couldn't think of any other words to say.

She would go to Zhang Xinyi and watch Zhang Xinyi selecting these clam shells.

The ones she chose were all big and plump ones, all about the same size, and she threw them back if they were too big or too small.

Zhang Xinyi said: "Just keep these fifty. I don't know if we have the materials you want here."

Shui Ling nodded, "Okay, I need some beeswax, which is the honeycomb."

"Hive..." Zhang Xinyi pointed her chin with her index finger and thought.

After waiting for a while, she said: "There is a beehive somewhere, but there is a very fierce monkey there. It guards the beehive and prevents people from getting close to it."

Shui Ling quickly asked: "Where is it?"

There is no animal in this world that cannot be handled by oneself.

Zhang Xinyi looked at the sky and said, "We can't do it today. It's too late. It will be dark when we get back. Besides, we don't have the tools."

"Okay, you take me there tomorrow." Shui Ling said with a smile.

Zhang Xinyi nodded, "It just so happens that Baitao needs sweet tea when she returns home in three days. You can give her some honey."

Shui Ling asked blankly: "What is sweet tea?"

Zhang Xinyi smiled and said: "It just means that from now on I can be sweet to my parents' house, and I don't have to take things from my parents' house all the time."

"By the way, there are also those who give sweet tea to their son-in-law and bitter tea to their daughter if they hint that their daughter is going to take something from her parents' house."

"There's something special about drinking bitter tea. It means you don't want to take anything away from your natal family. You must also subsidize your natal family, otherwise you will suffer."

Shuiling's brain twitched and he asked, "Are there any people who drink plain water?"

Zhang Xinyi nodded, "Yes. Those who are particularly poor can drink plain water. That means I can't help you and you can't help me. It's as light as water. It doesn't matter whether you go back to your parents' home or not."

Shui Ling frowned, this is nothing, is it really possible for a girl to drink bitter tea?

If you say you drink plain water, you can be forgiven. After all, in ancient times, it was believed that a married daughter should be thrown out of water.

But the godfather and godmother love Baitao very much, so they will not give Baitao any other tea, only sweet tea.

Zhang Xinyi said: "Let's go home. Now that Baitao is married, you can't just point her at her to deliver food. Think about what to eat at night."

Shui Ling looked at her in surprise, "Weren't you full just now?"

Zhang Xinyi said with a bitter face: "I'm tired of eating those sea creatures, I'd rather go back and bake beans."

Shui Ling chuckled, "You're not afraid of being out of the void and not being able to sleep."

"How could that happen?" Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Shuiling.

The two went back talking and laughing, and when passing by a house, they heard crying inside.

Shui Ling looked over and saw a woman kneeling on the ground. There was a duck in front of her, but the duck was motionless and she didn't know if it was dead.

Another old woman stood opposite the woman, pointing at her nose and scolding her.

"You are such a loser. You can't even watch a duck. After all, this duck can still lay eggs. What can you do?"

Shui Ling raised his eyebrows, not understanding what was going on.

Zhang Xinyi said in a low voice: "This woman's name is Liu Guifen. She has been married for three years and has no children. Opposite her is her mother-in-law, who is usually very nice to her. I don't know what happened today but she started to settle old scores."

Shui Ling asked: "What about her man? What do you think?"

Zhang Xinyi said: "His man came to me secretly and asked me to tell him that he couldn't have a baby, not to mention that there was something wrong with his wife."

Shui Ling nodded, this man is quite nice.

Zhang Xinyi added: "But my mother-in-law doesn't believe it, and I can't help it. She thinks everything about her son is normal."

Shui Ling, "..." I really don't know what to say.

Zhang Xinyi sighed, "I'm going to see if I can buy the duck. We just don't have food tonight."

"Well... I want to give her a look, maybe she can be treated." Shui Ling hesitated and said.

Zhang Xinyi nodded, "Yes, but you have to do it secretly."

"No problem." Shui Ling was full of confidence.

When the two walked into the courtyard, Zhang Xinyi raised her voice and said, "Auntie, what's wrong with this duck?"

When the mother-in-law saw Zhang Xinyi and Shui Ling, she immediately put away her anger and put on a smile, "This duck can lay an egg a day, but today she died not long after taking it out."

Shui Ling reached out to help Liu Guifen and secretly checked her pulse. This woman's body was very normal.

After she helped the woman up, she touched the duck and found that it was already dead.

She held the duck's neck with her hand and moved it upward, and felt a hard object at the duck's throat.

"What's this?"

The mother-in-law looked at Shui Ling blankly, "What?"

Shui Ling took out a dagger and slit the duck's throat, and a round object fell out. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pearl as big as an egg yolk.

"This..." The mother-in-law bent down and picked up the pearl. The surface of the pearl was round and smooth, and the quality was very good.

Shui Ling smiled and said: "It's a blessing in disguise, it's quite good."

The mother-in-law smiled and looked at Liu Guifen with less anger.

"It turns out it's just a gift, that's all. Guifen, please go back and rest."

Zhang Xinyi immediately asked: "Auntie, I want to eat duck, can you sell this duck to me?"

The mother-in-law shook her head quickly, "What are you selling? Just eat it. We don't like duck and we hate the taste. If it's chicken, I won't give it to you for nothing."

Zhang Xinyi chuckled, "Then we'll take it."

Shui Ling was quite surprised. The people in this village were really simple and honest. If it were someone else's fault, would they still be excused in vain?

However, my mother-in-law is generous and Zhang Xinyi is cheerful, so no one thinks anything is wrong.

Shuiling thought for a moment, then took out a small bag of maltose and gave it to her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, I have some sugar here, don't dislike it."

"Oh, you can't do this. The duck can catch it. This candy is a precious commodity. You can't have it... you can't have it..."
