Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 28 The Female Supporting Character in a Historical Fiction

It was especially quiet at night. There was a field in front of her house, and the frogs in the field kept croaking, which made her even more nervous.

Qin Du's family had a guard dog, but the dog was very familiar with her. When it saw her tiptoeing over, it didn't bark, but just squinted its eyes and wagged its tail.

Ji Chaoxi peered through the crack at the window of Qin Du's house when a dog suddenly licked her, startling her so much that she almost screamed.

"Don't lick me!" she whispered.

She continued to peek, but the pot on the stove was empty, the cupboard was full of bowls, and she couldn't see any food. The room was dark, and she had a hard time seeing.

Finally, she saw a small basin filled with water, on which was a bowl, which was covered by another bowl.

That must be meat.

She was incredibly hungry for the food, and looking at the dog beside her, she felt that it was eating more than she was.

Is she really going to steal meat? This is too shameful. Does Ji Chaoxi have no shame at all? If she is found out, she feels she will never be able to hold her head up again.

Ji Chaoxi swallowed hard, then thought, what does face matter? Can face feed us? We can't even afford to eat, why bother with face?

Pig's head meat is so delicious that even a dead person will be plump and round!

But... if you get caught, you'll be criticized and denounced...

Ji Chaoxi's eyes reddened with anxiety. She pressed her face against the door and peered through the crack, but suddenly her vision went black.

The next second, the door was flung open, and Ji Chaoxi was thrown forward, crashing heavily into something as hard as a wall, her forehead immediately turning red.

Her breath hitched, she didn't dare to look up, and her whole body froze.

She was so scared that her whole body was shaking. She thought of the scene of Chen Yiping being pinned to the ground and beaten, and her breathing became more and more difficult.

Qin Du looked at her silently. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry. Her shoulders were trembling slightly with fear, and she looked terrified.

The big dog stretched and swayed around the two of them, its big tail brushing against Ji Chaoxi's leg, making Ji Chaoxi's face turn pale.

Hearing the noise, Qin's mother called out.

Qin Du remained silent.

As if realizing something, Qin's mother asked, "Is she the Ji family's younger sister?"

Ji Chaoxi bit her lip, lowered her head, and remained silent.

The croaking of frogs in the field grew louder, but Ji Chaoxi couldn't hear anything anymore and just stood there awkwardly.

"Yes," Qin Du finally said.

Qin's mother said with a hint of a smile, "Son, then give some meat to your sister; she's still growing."

Ji Chaoxi's tears fell in a steady stream. She had previously told Qin's mother not to tell anyone that she had saved her, for fear that she would be affected.

And then they even gave her meat to eat. How could she be so mean?

"I'm not eating anymore," Ji Chaoxi said, choking back tears.

As she spoke, she turned to walk out.

Qin Du frowned, grabbed her collar, and Ji Chaoxi was stunned for a moment before angrily pushing him away: "Don't you dare pull my clothes!"

Tears still clung to her eyelashes; one second she was crying, the next she was angry.

Qin Du had already witnessed Ji Chaoxi's ability to change her expression, so he wasn't surprised. He simply handed her the bowl from the basin and whispered, "It was separated."

It wasn't leftovers.

The aroma of meat made Ji Chaoxi's stomach rumble with hunger. She hesitated whether to accept the bowl, but Qin Du simply placed it on the stone bench by the door and locked her out.

The big dog surrounded her, rubbing against her affectionately, its mouth constantly drooling.

Ji Chaoxi still held the bowl in her arms and snorted at the big black dog: "I won't give you any. You eat much more meat than I do."

As soon as she got home, Ji Chaoxi immediately picked up a piece of pork, which was fried in lard. Ji Chaoxi had never felt so happy before.

She rushed into the room and nudged Ji Zhuxin, who groggily woke up: "What's wrong, little sister?"

"Sister, eat some meat!" Ji Chaoxi looked at her with bright eyes.

Ji Zhuxin immediately snapped to attention: "Where did this meat come from?"

Ji Chaoxi looked at her somewhat guiltily: "Qin Du's family."

Ji Zhuxin's expression changed instantly. She was both angry and heartbroken. Seeing Ji Chaoxi like this, she knew what had just happened.

She sighed deeply: "How many times have I told you, stay away from their house."

We shouldn't send any more meat to Xie Zhiqing and the others; we should keep it for ourselves.

The next day, Ji Zhuxin went to the village chief's house to get some meat and returned it to Qin Du's family.

Although it can't compare to the braised pig's head at Qin Du's house, at least there's the act of returning it.

If we can't send meat, then we'll send pickled vegetables and snacks from now on.

Ji Zhuxin's pickled vegetables are especially delicious. Whenever there is an event in the village, Ji Zhuxin will pickle vegetables in advance, and everyone loves to eat them.

Ji Chaoxi hadn't even had two days of rest when Ji Zhuxin sent her to deliver pickled vegetables again.

"You must make sure they finish their food. They're not allowed to go home with empty bowls, you hear me!"

Ji Chaoxi looked completely unwilling.

When she arrived at the educated youth compound, the group of educated youth were sitting under a big tree enjoying the shade. Just as she was about to walk over, she heard them talking about her.

"She's just a country girl, Lao Xie, you don't really want to stay with a country girl, do you?"

The people next to them mocked, "Qin Du and Ji Chaoxi, these two are really interesting. They're like toads trying to eat swan meat. I think they're quite a good match."

Xie Zhiqing listened in silence, his fingers turning white as he gripped the pages of the book.

"Old Xie, I'm not kidding, but if your dad knew you were having an affair with a village girl in Xinniu Village, he'd definitely break your legs."

"That's right, Lao Xie, don't be bought off by those little favors. Marriage is a lifelong commitment."

Xie Zhiqing lowered her head and whispered, "I didn't take what her sister said seriously. I can't help it if they keep clinging to me."

The educated youth next to him scoffed, "I really don't want to stay here anymore."

Ji Chaoxi was so angry that her face turned red. She slammed the basket down on the ground and ran straight into the yard.

The educated youth in the courtyard panicked as soon as they saw her and quickly stood up. Xie, the educated youth, also looked somewhat helpless for a moment.

"You!" Ji Chaoxi pointed at the man who had just called her a toad, "You're the toad! Look at the stuff on your face, it's so disgusting I can't even eat."

"And you, with your beady eyes, you dare to criticize me? My dog's eyes are bigger than yours."

"You sausage-lipped, bespectacled monster, ugly and short, how dare you call me a country bumpkin! Ugly thing, get lost!"

The educated youth in the courtyard were so angry they could hardly breathe. Just as they were about to say something, Ji Chaoxi grabbed a shovel and poured the ashes from the ground onto them. The educated youth cursed and dodged, leaving the entire courtyard in a mess.

Ji Chaoxi had never been spoken to like that before.

It's not impressive that you can recognize a few words.

Looking at the pickled vegetables in the box, Ji Chaoxi wiped away her tears. Her sister had worked very hard to make them.

She sat on the edge of the field, preparing to eat before going home.
