Quick Transmigration: After the Backup Love Awakens, He Sacrifices the Official Partner to the Heave

"Mother, what makes you say that? Look, the boys like my sixth brother are all fetching water from the river. My youngest brother is already thirteen years old. It's time for him to do his part for the family. With so many of us, it's too slow for me to store water all by myself."

"We are not the same as before. I think... Mother already knows about the current situation."

Liu Yu pursed her lips and said sadly, "Xiao Zui, I know things are different now than before, but... your father is ill, and you are the eldest among the children in the family."

You are now the pillar of our household, so you must take good care of your younger brothers.

Jiang Zui looked disdainful and thought to himself:

Before the incident at the manor, he had never heard the other person's voice so gentle.

Pshaw, trying to morally blackmail him.

"Mother, you flatter me. How could I possibly have the same abilities as my second brother?"

Jiang Zui retorted, "My second brother is the legitimate son, while I am merely a lowly illegitimate son. I am not worthy of the title of supporting the family business."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's lips twitched. She seemed to have said these words to Jiang Zui before.

Seeing that Jiang Zui refused to help, Liu Yu, in a fit of desperation, said, "Jiang Zui, as your legal mother, I'm asking you to help fetch the wastewater. How dare you refuse?"

Jiang Zui feigned panic and explained, "Mother, you've misunderstood me. I didn't say I wouldn't fetch water!"

"Then why don't you hurry up and go?" Liu Yu felt instantly relieved to see that Jiang Zui was still the same as before, obediently doing whatever he was told whenever he got angry.

Seeing Jiang Zui's cowardly appearance, Zhang Yuansi, who was standing next to Liu Yu, looked at him with contempt and a mocking expression.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, young master. Once the master wakes up, I will definitely put in a good word for him."

"Trouble? Mother and my husband must have misunderstood. Although I was fetching water, I wasn't the only one doing it."

Our family includes my mother, father, concubine, three younger brothers, my father's maids, and concubines.

Oh, and there's my husband and me too. That makes about a dozen people. Does Mother think I can carry water for a dozen people by myself?

"This..." Liu Yu stammered.

Jiang Zui seized the opportunity to say, "There's still an incense stick's time before we have to fetch water, we're almost running out of time."

Liu Yu, fearing he wouldn't get any water, quickly said, "Then, Xiao Zui, you don't need to worry about your father's concubines. Just fetch water for me and your father. Let... let Xiao Li go with you to fetch water."

Upon hearing Liu Yu's words, Zhang Yuansi retorted, "Madam, what do you mean by that? I am, after all, the master's concubine."

Liu Yu glanced at Zhang Yuansi and said sarcastically, "You said it yourself, he's... a concubine."

Relying on Jiang Hongsheng's favor, Zhang Yuansi frequently argued with Liu Yu in the mansion.

Liu Yu also harbored deep resentment towards Zhang Yuansi, that vixen, and the two immediately started arguing.

Jiang Zui ignored him and directly called Jiang Li to come with him to fetch water, "Sixth Brother, take the water bag and come with me to fetch water."

Jiang Li, spoiled by Liu Yu, sat motionless in the shade, pretending not to hear Jiang Zui's words, and pulled Zhao Xingyuan beside her to complain:

"Brother Xingyuan, Brother Mingrui is so good to you. Look at Jiang Zui, he actually made a mere boy like me fetch water."

Zhao Mingrui is Zhao Xingyuan's older brother, and he had just finished fetching water for her.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingyuan said with a slightly reproachful tone, "Brother Jiang Zui, as Xiao Li's brother, how come you didn't even help fetch water?"

If it were the Jiang Zui of the past, he would have apologized immediately, then grabbed his water bag and happily went to the river to fetch water.

elder brother?

How funny!

Over all these years, he had never heard Jiang Zhou or Jiang Li call him "brother".

The two of them always called him by his first name, using all sorts of random and nonsensical terms, such as: trash, beast, garbage, etc.

Zhao Xingyuan said she liked the original owner of the body, but she got along very well with the Jiang brothers, Jiang Zhou and Jiang Li.

Did they genuinely not notice how the two addressed Jiang Zui, or did they know but pretend nothing was wrong?

Jiang Zui didn't speak to Zhao Xingyuan, but looked directly at Jiang Li and said seriously, "I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not?"

He wasn't thirsty, but after Zhao Xingyuan finished drinking her water, he took a sip as well.

"I'm not going." Jiang Li's eyes were teasing.

After saying that, Jiang Zui turned and left without looking back.

Zhao Xingyuan stared at Jiang Zui's retreating figure with anger in her eyes, while Jiang Li, standing to the side, was so angry that she jumped up and down.

Jiang Zui quickly filled two water bags and handed them to Liu Yu. Then, he walked over and sat down next to Qi Chen.

Jiang Zui lowered his head and whispered, "Is it hot?"

Qi Chen hesitated for a moment before answering, "It's...it's alright."

It was actually very hot, but he knew that even if he told Jiang Zui, Jiang Zui wouldn't be able to handle it, so it was better not to say anything.

Jiang Zui saw the beads of sweat on Qi Chen's forehead and knew that the other party was lying. She moved closer to Qi Chen and said, "Move closer to me, I'm cold."

Qi Chen thought Jiang Zui was teasing him, and suddenly a blush rose on his cheeks.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Zui approached him, he was surprised to find that it was indeed much cooler. His eyes widened, filled with curiosity.

Jiang Zui casually explained, "I have a cold constitution."

Qi Chen did not believe the other party's explanation and cleverly protected Jiang Zui's arm.

"Host, you...you...you actually...cheated!" The system was greatly surprised to discover that Jiang Zui could use the cultivation level from the previous world.

Logically speaking, things from the previous time should not exist in this world.

The host's personal space doesn't count; that personal space is something every quick-transmigration mission taker has and can be freely used in any world.

But... but its host easily conjured an Ice Soul Technique, adjusting the body and the surrounding air to a suitable temperature.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't wrong me. This is something I brought with me. If you don't believe me, go check it yourself," Jiang Zuibian said.

The system ultimately failed to detect the bug.

What exactly...is it...linked to...some...big shot?

On the other side, Liu Yu took the two water bags handed to him by Jiang Zui, drank them all herself first, and then filled some water for Jiang Hongsheng.

Jiang Zhou, seeing that his parents had finished their water, brightened up and asked, "Mom, where's my water?"

"Huh? I asked Xiaoli to get you water, didn't he?" Liu Yu asked, puzzled.

Jiang Zhou said urgently, "No, Mother, please give me your water pouch to quench my thirst first."

Liu Yu gave Jiang Zhou both her and Jiang Hongsheng's water bags.

Even though there were two water sacs, the space inside was limited, and Liu Yu and Jiang Hongsheng had drunk almost all of it, so only a tiny bit of water remained.

After Jiang Zhou finished drinking, he said with disdain, "Why is there so little? Mother, I'm still thirsty."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu ran to Jiang Li to ask if there was any water left, only to find out that Jiang Li hadn't gone to fetch any water at all. Furious, Liu Yu cursed Jiang Zui several times.

"As expected of a lowly wretch born of a lowly maid. He won't even fetch water when asked. We've provided him with food, clothing, and shelter for so many years, we've probably fed him dogs. Keeping a dog would be more useful than keeping him."
