Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 370 Tall and Capable Hunter vs. Lucky Beauty (5)

"Clatter—" Mother Shen's hand, which was clearing the dishes, suddenly stopped, and she almost dropped the dishes on the ground.

Mr. Shen clenched his fists. "What happened? Did the Chen family hit you?"

Shen Shuyi recounted her experiences in the Chen family over the past two years in detail, including those things the original owner of the body had never mentioned.

They frowned deeply after hearing this, and exclaimed angrily, "This is simply outrageous!"

"It's better that you're divorced. I never agreed to you marrying into the Chen family in the first place." Mother Shen's eyes were red.

Mr. Shen suddenly stood up, "I'm going to the Chen family to get justice for you!"

Shen Shuyi quickly pulled the man back, "Dad, listen to me."

"The most important thing for us right now is to make a good living. Shushan and Shulan are both old enough to go to a private school."

The Shen couple fell silent immediately.

They wanted their children to have a good life, but they didn't own much land, and how much money could they save from farming each year? It wasn't enough to pay for their children's education!
Being able to eat well and stay warm is already a blessing.

Since Shen Shuyi had promised the original owner to take good care of her family, she would not hide her strength—she was a lucky charm, and she wanted to lead her family to a life of wealth and prosperity.

Of course, she was just making things sound a bit fantastical.

“At first, I didn’t know about Chen Mengzheng’s affair with his cousin. One day, I was so tired from work that I fainted. Perhaps the Bodhisattva took pity on me and told me in a dream about my husband’s affair with someone else.”

"Not only that, the Bodhisattva also gave me a special ability that brings me good luck and makes it easier for me to succeed in whatever I do than others."

"For example, when I go for a walk in the mountains, pheasants and rabbits will run into the big trees in front of me and die, and when I go down to the river to catch fish, the fish will obediently go into my bamboo basket."

Shen Shuyi told them a lot about her lucky charms, and the Shen family was dumbfounded after listening, wondering if their daughter had been driven crazy by the Chen family.

Although they had heard many ghost stories, how could they believe them when they actually happened to them?
Shen Shuyi anticipated that they would find it hard to believe, so she said, "Father, would you take me up the mountain tomorrow? I want to pick some mushrooms."

Mr. Shen quickly replied, "Alright, you must be tired from traveling such a long way. Get some rest early tonight."

"Yes, Yi'er, Mother has boiled some hot water for you. Take a bath before you go to sleep." Zhuang Mei looked at her daughter, who had lost a lot of weight, with heartache.

Shen Shuyi gave him a reassuring look, "Father, Mother, don't worry, I plan to live a good life and I won't do anything rash."

“I misjudged Chen Mengzheng before, but now I understand everything and just want to live a good life with you all.”

"It's good that you think that way." Zhuang Mei's eyes reddened again, and she couldn't stop the tears.

When Shen Shuyi went to her room to get her clothes, her younger brother and sister went to the kitchen to fetch hot water for her and poured it into the large bathtub.

Shen Liang paced back and forth in the house for a few steps, then went to his wife and said, "Tomorrow morning, kill the hen in the house and make a chicken soup for Yi'er to nourish her body."

"Yes, I will." Zhuang Mei wiped away her tears while washing the dishes. "If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have let her marry into the Chen family!"

While taking a bath in the large wooden tub, Shen Shuyi ate a skin-beautifying pill that she had redeemed from the system shop. She immediately felt a cool sensation and felt refreshed all over.

Especially after taking a shower, she felt that her skin had a soft, white glow, and her sallow complexion had undergone a noticeable change.

Even her dry, yellow hair has become much blacker and smoother.

The next day, she got up early and went mushroom picking with her father, Shen Liang. Zhuang Mei noticed her daughter's face and suddenly paused, "Yi'er, you seem to have gotten a lot fairer."

"Really? Maybe it's because you're finally out of this misery that your complexion looks a bit better." Shen Shuyi rubbed her face.

Zhuang Mei nodded, "That's it then, good riddance!" "Be careful going up the mountain, don't go too deep into the mountains, and come back for dinner early."

After saying that, she was about to kill a chicken. Her daughter had just returned from her divorce, and at noon, the family was having a proper reunion dinner.

In Lihua Village, after the busy farming season each year, many of the young men who are idle in the village will go to the town to find short-term jobs. Some will go up the mountain to make traps and hunt. However, there are wild beasts in the mountains, so very few people go up the mountain. Usually, the people on the mountain are hunters who have little farmland.

At this time of year, there aren't many mushrooms on the mountain, but fortunately, wild fruits are ripe and there are plenty of wild vegetables that you can't possibly pick them all.

Shen Liang instructed his daughter, "Stay close, we'll pick some wild vegetables and then head back."

"Father, I understand." Shen Shuyi had a bamboo basket on her back and a wood-chopping knife in her hand.

The mountain path was quite narrow, and Shen Liang brought his daughter up the mountain early to avoid the villagers and prevent her from overhearing their gossip.

Unexpectedly, just as I entered the mountain road, I heard fast and steady footsteps behind me.

When Shen Liang turned around, he saw that the man was Chu Yi, a hunter from the foot of Pear Blossom Village. He breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Yi rarely interacted with the villagers. He was a man of few words and would never say anything gossipy.

So he pulled his daughter aside and let Chu Yi go first.

This was the first time Shen Shuyi had ever stood so close to Chu Yi face to face, and neither of them had greeted each other.

Chu Yi didn't even glance at Shen Shuyi, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. When he passed by her, he slightly turned his body to avoid touching her.

Shen Shuyi was carrying a bamboo basket. As Chu Yi walked by, the basket moved forward slightly and bumped lightly against Chu Yi's strong, narrow waist.

Chu Yi glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just quickened his pace and walked straight ahead, avoiding her.

As Shen Shuyi walked, she looked at the broad back of the figure receding into the distance. A smile appeared on her lips. What a coincidence.

They had just started climbing the mountain and hadn't walked far when a wild rabbit crashed into a tree in front of Shen Shuyi and died.

She stepped forward, picked up the rabbit, and smiled at the bewildered Shen Liang, saying, "Dad, look, we're having rabbit meat today!"

Shen Liang watched as his daughter tossed the plump rabbit into the bamboo basket. Before he could finish being shocked, he saw his daughter squat down and rummage through the grass, whereupon a nest of wild eggs appeared before him, which she then picked up and put into the bamboo basket.
They walked a little further into the mountains, and two pheasants rushed up to Shen Shuyi, about to crash into a tree.

Shen Shuyi caught them and hurriedly called to Shen Liang, "Dad! Let's catch these pheasants and take them home to raise."

"Hey, here they come." As Shen Liang tied the chicken's feet, he muttered, "When did the rabbits and pheasants in these mountains become so stupid, always running right in front of my daughter? Could it be... that the Bodhisattva has intervened?"

Hearing his daughter call out again, "Dad, come quick! I've found ginseng!"

"That must be over a hundred years old."

The moment Shen Liang saw the ginseng, he was filled with excitement. His daughter was blessed by the Bodhisattva!
Shen Shuyi went up the mountain this time to convince her father that she had been blessed by the gods. She had gained a lot from the trip. Just as she was about to go down the mountain with her father, an emergency notification from the system suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Host, Chu Yi has been hit in the arm by a wild boar and is in danger. You can go help him, but it won't matter if you don't. He won't die.]
Shen Shuyi chose to help without hesitation; she wouldn't let go of this opportunity to get in touch with her target.

Before leaving, she said to Shen Liang, "Dad, there's a big pear tree here. I want to eat the pears on it when they're ripe."

"Dad will pick them for you right away!" Without saying a word, Shen Liang put down the bamboo basket and started climbing the tree.

Shen Shuyi watched his nimble back as he climbed the tree. "Dad, pick more. I'll make pear syrup later. I'll be digging for wild vegetables across the street. Just call me when you come down."

"Alright." Shen Liang was no longer worried. There were no wild beasts around, and his daughter was protected by the Bodhisattva, so he could pick pears with peace of mind.

Shen Shuyi quickly followed the coordinates provided by 66 to find Chu Yi.
