Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character
Chapter 27 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction
This is not something Ji Chaoxi made up.
Most of these educated youths came from well-off families, and the village chief also valued them. After their trip to Xinniu Village, they not only didn't lose weight, but actually gained some.
Once, Ji Chaoxi went to bring them food. Their courtyard was filled with the aroma of vegetables. The educated youth was afraid that she would want to stay for a meal, so he was extremely wary of her. He took the food from her and closed the door.
"Sister, I've lost weight. I don't even eat as much meat as Xie Zhiqing." Ji Chaoxi bit Ji Zhuxin's hand.
Ji Zhuxin was so annoyed by her that she still went and got her two pieces of cured meat to eat.
"Just eat these two pieces. I still need to take the rest to Xie Zhiqing." Ji Zhuxin patted her head.
Ji Chaoxi pouted: "Sis, you're so biased. I'd think Xie Zhiqing was your sister."
Ji Zhuxin was so angry that she flicked Ji Chaoxi on the forehead: "What are you saying?"
Ji Chaoxi immediately covered her head and pretended to be pitiful.
Ji Zhuxin sighed. This brat really doesn't understand her good intentions.
The next day, Ji Chaoxi prepared to go to the fields.
Chen Yiping was sitting at his doorstep, eating meat with gusto. When he saw her looking at him, he immediately turned away, refusing to let her see him.
Meat is a rare commodity in the village, and theft of meat and vegetables is commonplace. But he sits here eating for show, yet he also has to be careful not to let others take it from him.
A person driven mad by hunger is capable of anything.
Those who were about to go to work saw Chen Yiping eating meat at the door and couldn't help but swallow hard; it had been so long since they had seen meat.
"Chen Yiping, your family is eating meat again?" a villager greeted him with a smile.
Chen Yiping slightly raised his chin and nodded.
The villagers looked on with envy: "Does your family eat meat often? I haven't had meat in ages."
Chen Yiping immediately became alert: "If you don't have meat to eat, then you'd better work harder. This is what my dad earned through hard work."
That being said, in the village, apart from the educated youth and those who held a slight position in the village, almost no one else could afford to eat meat.
If other villagers catch animals, they must first hand them over before they can get a share. However, they usually don't get a share themselves. Some people secretly hunt and keep the animals for themselves, but this often gets them reported by people around them.
Qin Du was an exception. He wasn't afraid of being reported because his home was almost completely separated from Xinniu Village.
Ji Chaoxi went to the fields a little late today. As she walked along the ridge, she couldn't help but look into Qin Du's basket. She knew that he often put the game he caught in the basket.
She was shocked when she saw it.
There was a large piece of meat in the basket. As soon as Ji Chaoxi saw the nose, she knew it was half a pig's head.
Did Qin Du kill the wild boar? Or did he buy it somewhere? But isn't it forbidden to sell meat now?
She walked into her own field, absentmindedly pulling up the weeds, her gaze involuntarily lingering on the muscles in Qin Du's arm.
Qin Du has so much muscle on his body, how much meat did he eat to build that up?
She felt hungry again and stared longingly at the pig's head in the basket.
Pig's head meat is delicious. I had it once during the Spring Festival in the village last year, but she only took two pieces, and the meat was snatched up in no time.
Her mission was to steal Qin Du's life-saving food from the Qin family, but if she went, Qin Du would probably beat her to death.
Ji Chaoxi sighed deeply and walked down the mountain.
She happened to see her sister carrying a basket and talking to Xie Zhiqing.
Xie Zhiqing was a little embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly.
Then Ji Chaoxi saw her sister stuff the bowl of meat into Xie Zhiqing's hands: "Don't be shy, Xie Zhiqing."
Ji Chaoxi's eyes turned red as she watched.
Her family's meat.
Food was scarce in the village, and someone gave him meat, which was incredibly lucky. However, he was afraid of gossip, and his face was full of embarrassment.
Ji Zhuxin didn't care whether Xie Zhiqing would accept it or not, and just shoved it into his hand.
"Xie Zhiqing, are you looking down on our family's meat?" Ji Zhuxin frowned tightly, and her voice began to rise. "I didn't mean anything by it. My sister often says that you take good care of her when she comes home, so as her older sister, I should definitely know how to behave properly."
Upon hearing Ji Chaoxi's name, Xie Zhiqing's face immediately turned red: "Sister Zhuxin, I haven't taken good care of Chaoxi either."
Ji Zhuxin sighed: "Thank you, educated youth. Don't refuse. You and my sister are so close, it's only right that I take care of you."
She spotted Ji Chaoxi not far away and quickly waved to her, "Hurry up and come over, stop dawdling."
Ji Chaoxi walked away with her head down, looking sullen.
When Xie Zhiqing saw Ji Chaoxi, his face turned red and his neck bulged: "Chao...Chaoxi."
Upon seeing Xie Zhiqing like this, Ji Zhuxin laughed so hard she bent over. What didn't she understand?
She patted Ji Chaoxi on the back: "I have to go now. You talk to Xie Zhiqing, don't leave so soon!"
As soon as Ji Zhuxin left, the air immediately became quiet.
Ji Chaoxi glanced at the meat in his bowl from time to time, feeling even more unhappy. He ate too much; most of the food in her house ended up in his stomach.
Xie Zhiqing looked at Ji Chaoxi nervously. Her face was a little red from the sun, and it looked like she had just washed her face in the river. There were still some water droplets on her face, making her look even more radiant.
"Chaoxi, thank you for the meat from your family," Xie Zhiqing said softly.
"Oh," Ji Chaoxi replied dryly.
Ever since Xie, the educated youth, came to their Xinniu Village, she felt that she had become thinner, starving and thin.
Later on, Ji Chaoxi lost interest in listening to him and ran home after giving him a few perfunctory replies.
As soon as she approached the house, she smelled the aroma of meat. Ji Chaoxi stood at the door and sniffed. Sure enough, the smell was coming from Qin Du's house.
He's probably cooking pork right now, Ji Chaoxi thought, her stomach rumbling, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
That evening, her family ate rice porridge, and Ji Chaoxi was not full at all.
She pressed her face against the window, feeling the aroma of meat wafting from Qin Du's house, and the craving kept her awake at night.
Ji Zhuxin was almost asleep, so the fanning speed slowed down a lot. Ji Chaoxi leaned on her and whispered, "Sister, can we not give our meat to Xie Zhiqing anymore? He's much stronger than me."
Ji Zhuxin groggily opened her eyes and hugged her tightly: "Xixi, be good. From now on, when you go to the city with Xie Zhiqing, you can eat whatever meat you want."
Ji Chaoxi snuggled against her, feeling wronged. "But he doesn't give me anything to eat now. Will he give me anything to eat in the future?"
She felt that her sister was not sober at all.
After being woken up by hunger once again, Ji Chaoxi carefully got out of bed. She was about to do something extremely immoral.
It's alright. So many people in the village have been caught stealing meat but haven't died. It's not her fault. She's still growing. It's all Xie Zhiqing's fault for eating her family's meat.
