I open a farm in the doomsday: I take in a female coach at the beginning

Shizuka Kudo suddenly felt unwell.

what is happening?

Is this man a monster???

No, since he can do this, it means...

The shock on Shizuka Kudo's face gradually turned into horror.

She hurriedly took several steps back and looked at Jiang Chuan again, her eyes as if she was looking at a horrible zombie monster.

“The massacre at the grocery store… you did it!!”

Jiang Chuan spread his hands, neither admitting nor denying.

He looked at Kudo Shizuka and continued with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. I'm not an unreasonable lunatic. Didn't I just say that I have no objection to your shrine holding a summer festival? I can even sponsor you food."

"As long as you can behave yourself, there's no need for us to have any conflicts. These days, it's hard enough to survive. Isn't it good to help each other?"

In fact, Jiang Chuan did have the intention to kill Kudo Shizuka.

This woman is an extreme egoist, and she is smart and knows how to efficiently seek benefits for herself. Such a person in charge of a special place like a shrine is definitely an unstable factor for Jiang Chuan.

But then again, what would this shrine become without Kudo Shizuka?

Jiang Chuan did not agree with Dr. Kudo's opinion on the shrine. In fact, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good thing for the entire town that the place had become what it is today.

When the end of the world comes, everyone's life is very different from before. There is no water or electricity in the town, and entertainment options have been greatly reduced. Everyone works hard every day to fill their stomachs, and also tries to forget about the zombies in the outside world who are eyeing the town at any time.

Under such pressure, at least people have such a place to relieve the pressure in their hearts. At least they can forget the pressure of survival and the dangers of the outside world in this brief comfort, and life still has some hope.

The shrine has definitely played a key role in the town's continued stability.

Now it seems that if Kudo Shizuka is really eliminated, I don’t know whether the shrine will remain the same.

……

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Kudo Shizuka's expression changed several times.

A cold sweat broke out on her forehead unconsciously.

In her entire life, Shizuka Kudo had never been in such a passive situation.

What is his origin? Why can he do such a thing?

"..."

Shizuka Kudo stared at Jiang Chuan, with all kinds of thoughts flashing through her mind.

She is by no means a fool. On the contrary, she is good at judging the situation, judging people's attitude, and plotting behind people's backs. Deception and betrayal are her specialties.

However, no matter how much she thought about it, in front of the scene that Jiang Chuan just casually showed, all these things seemed so powerless...

Finally, she forced herself to calm down.

Looking at Jiang Chuan, he slowly spoke.

"Okay, I admit defeat."

Jiang Chuan was inevitably a little surprised by this reaction.

But that was all, and he soon understood the reason why Shizuka Kudo had undergone such a change.

Just as he had always believed, Shizuka Kudo was a smart person.

"If you want to know anything, just ask. From now on, I can do things for you, but the premise is to ensure the safety and interests of me and the shrine."

Jiang Chuan really felt a little impressed by Kudo Shizuka's lightning-fast change of expression.

He patted the dust off his hands and asked curiously, "Are you giving in now? Are you not going to struggle any further?"

"Being alive is more important than anything else. Going against you is too risky. I'm not Yuichi Miyagi. I'm not that reckless."

As Kudo Shizuka spoke, she leaned weakly against the door frame, reached out from inside her kimono and took out an exquisite cigarette case. After opening it, she took out a slender ladies' cigarette and lit it.

After the end of the world, every cigarette was an extremely precious consumable. Usually, she would only light one to help herself clear her mind at the most critical moment, such as before she visited Jiang Chuan.

But now, in an instant, everything she had worked so hard for turned into bubbles. Nothing mattered now, and she just wanted to empty her mind.

Hearing what Kudo Shizuka said, Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows and did not comment.

He really didn't expect that Kudo Shizuka would raise the white flag and surrender so easily. It seems that he still underestimated this woman. At least her decisiveness to give up is worthy of Jiang Chuan's attention.

So he also lit a cigarette and smiled at Shizuka Kudo.

"Let's change places. We'll have something to talk about next."

"what ever."

Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate and walked towards the stone table in the backyard where he came from.

……

Time passed slowly, and by the time Jiang Chuan left the shrine and walked back to town along the steps, it was already time for dinner in the evening.

After chatting for such a long time, Jiang Chuan was able to confirm that Kudo Shizuka's behavior was not an act, and she really did not want to be his enemy.

So he really told Jiang Chuan his entire plan.

There is a small yard in the backyard of the shrine, which looks like a small vegetable garden, but the crops grown there are a little special.

In short, this is basically Kudo Shizuka's plan. She takes advantage of the summer festival to provide food to the residents of the town, and then tamper with the food to achieve the goal of controlling the town.

Jiang Chuan did not ask where the crops came from, nor did he ask what her follow-up plans were, because in the town he hoped for, such things would never be allowed to exist. So under his order, all the crops in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the shrine were uprooted, and even the processed products were piled together by Jiang Chuan and burned to ashes.

At that moment, Jiang Chuan felt like a great figure in the late feudal era.

The summer festival will still be held as usual. With the help of Jiang Chuan, the food will naturally be richer than the original plan. There will even be grilled fish, steamed fish, fried fish, and tempura, protein foods that everyone has not tasted for a long time. I think the festival day will be very lively.

The shrine will continue to operate normally, but from now on, all the shrine maidens will have salary guarantees, and there will be enough "salary" distributed to them every month through Kudo Shizuka. Jiang Chuan also knows that Kudo Shizuka will definitely continue her plan of taking kickbacks, but this is not important. As long as she can work honestly for Jiang Chuan, he doesn't care about this little thing.

Chapter 178 Mrs. Sugimoto's bottom line, progress finally arrived

The matters at the shrine were also arranged. Since he had already made an appointment with Akiyama Shinsuke to have a drink together, Jiang Chuan went back home first, told Mrs. Hayakawa that she didn't need to prepare her own dishes, and then walked out of the house again and headed towards the Akiyama family.

"Brother Jiang Chuan, you're here!"

This time, when he rang the doorbell of Akiyama's house, he didn't have to wait long before Akiyama Shinsuke ran out to open the door for him, and then warmly invited him into the living room.

"Brother, what did you talk about with Sister Shizuka? I felt like she was a little nervous after seeing you."

The two sat down at the dining table. Qiu Shan poured Jiang Chuan a glass of water, then scratched his head and asked a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Chuan smiled, picked up the cup of water and took a sip, then looked at Akiyama Shinsuke and asked.

"Akiyama-kun, do you like Miss Kudo?"

"Well, I've always liked her since I was a kid."

Akiyama Shinsuke blushed, but still nodded in acknowledgement.

really.

Akiyama Shinsuke is a good guy, but to be honest, Jiang Chuan is not sure whether this relationship is good or bad for him.

Jiang Chuan took out two bottles of wine from his arms, put them on the table, and took out two cups.

After a while, Akiyama's grandmother slowly came out of the kitchen, holding a plate with some porridge, side dishes, and boiled peanuts to go with the wine.

"These are all grown in our own fields. Eat more."

"Thank you grandma."

"You two eat, I'm going to go back to sleep, I'm sleepy."

The old lady smiled on her wrinkled face and slowly left the living room.

Jiang Chuan picked up the wine glass and poured some into his own glass and Akiyama Shinsuke's glass. The two of them clinked their glasses together and drank it down happily. Then they picked up their chopsticks and began to eat casually.

As the two of them ate, Jiang Chuan continued to speak.

"Since I ran into you two at the shrine today, you know what she does."

"I know."

"You don't mind this kind of thing?"

"It's all for a living, I can understand, and I've told Sister Kudo that if she's willing to be with me, I can support her forever, and she won't have to do that kind of thing in the future."

Akiyama Shinsuke said as a matter of course.

This time Jiang Chuan can't handle it anymore...

Should we say that this guy is blind, confident, or blindly confident?

That woman is Shizuka Kudo. At least half of the big farmers with land in the whole town have close relations with her. Your Akiyama family is not a big landowner. Why would others look up to you?

Moreover, people in this line of work must have seen and experienced much more things than Akiyama Shinsuke imagined. Even if he gets her, do you really think he can control her?

Jiang Chuan really wanted to pour out all these words at once, but when he looked at Akiyama Shinsuke's expression, he couldn't say it.

This is often the case. You see your friend persisting in a one-sided love that is doomed to have no results, and you want to persuade him.

But you know he won't listen to your advice, so you can only silently wish him good luck in your heart.

So the two of them clinked glasses, ate and drank, time passed slowly, and the sky outside the window became darker and darker.

Jiang Chuan finally asked the question that had been bothering him.

"O-pai, did you say O-pai?"

After hearing Jiang Chuan's question, Akiyama Shinsuke, who was a little drunk, raised his head shakily, thought for a while, and answered confidently: "Ah, I sometimes feel this way."

"I just want to be held in the arms of Sister Shizuka, not doing anything, just lying there, and being taken care of by Sister Shizuka. It should feel pretty good, right?"

"I guess, brother, you have been taking care of others too much, so here... I have always hoped that someone could take care of you."

Akiyama Shinsuke said dazedly while pointing to his chest.

"Well, I was just talking nonsense, I don't know if it's right..."

Akiyama Shinsuke's words were a bit confusing, but Jiang Chuan understood them.

And there is a feeling of enlightenment.

It seems to be like this...

The part that he felt was really good was indeed the feeling of being cared for and cherished by a mature woman, and being treated like a baby or something... was just a requirement of the situation, and he really didn't feel anything about it.

So that means this is just a normal reaction and there's nothing to worry about?

It all made sense.

Speaking of which, that feeling is really good.

I wonder if Mrs. Sugimoto is asleep now?

Akiyama Shinsuke's eyes gradually became blurred, and Jiang Chuan's mind gradually flew out of the window.

Soon, the wine glasses were empty and the party ended.

Taking advantage of the night, Jiang Chuan slowly walked towards the Sugimoto family.

--------------

That night, because there was no prior agreement, Jiang Chuan's arrival caught Mrs. Sugimoto a little off guard.

Mrs. Sugimoto was awakened by Jiang Chuan who suddenly crawled into her bed. When she wanted to say something, Jiang Chuan's head had already crawled into the bed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Sugimoto was not surprised, but just smiled helplessly, then stretched out her warm palm and gently soothed his head.

The familiar gentle aura surrounded Jiang Chuan again, and his brain became numb, as if Sugimoto Taiten was gently fiddling with the depths of his brain with a soft feather.

The conversation with Shinsuke Akiyama also made Jiang Chuan realize that this wonderful feeling of comfort when getting along with Mrs. Sugimoto was not a bad thing.

"What's wrong, baby? Did mommy do something wrong?"

Hearing Mrs. Sugimoto's words, Jiang Chuan's eyes suddenly widened.

Mother?

When Mrs. Sugimoto called him "baby" before, Jiang Chuan assumed that Mrs. Sugimoto was just following his taste, and even thought that Mrs. Sugimoto was very considerate.

However, at this moment, she even called herself "Mom"?

No, sister, don't get too into the role, okay?
