I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 310 - 285: How About Making a Deal?

Li Hongmei only attended elementary school for two years, and she can’t recognize all the characters. Her handwriting looks like a dog’s scrawl, but it’s clear she tried her best to write. Despite the many spelling errors, you can still guess the meaning.

The notebook records how she was harmed by dirty hands and threatened. In the diary, the girl treats Wang Xiu like her own mother and sees her second brother as her white moonlight. Before that, she always liked her second brother, but after such things happened, she felt she wasn’t worthy of him. However, those two people kept threatening her, saying that if she didn’t behave, they would go after her second brother, forcing her to compromise every time.

In the diary, the girl also wrote about where her savings book is kept. If anything happened to her, she wanted all her money to be used by her second brother to raise his children and for him to take care of Wang Xiu in old age.

The diary described the girl’s vision for her future life, the shattering of her hopes, and eventually her final struggles. In the latter part, the girl had lost the will to live, constantly praying for her death.

The diary was kept as part of the evidence, but the page about the savings book was torn by An Jian, who personally went to the Li Family Courtyard just as Li Laoer was moving with his wife and children.

"Here it is?"

Li Laoer gave a bitter smile: "I won’t be coming back here again. It’s all for my big brother. I’m moving my wife and children to a friend’s house. I don’t want to stay here anymore."

"It’s good to change places and start anew."

"Yes, start anew. I have already failed one woman; I don’t want to fail another. For the rest of my life, I will treat them well."

"Not bad, a real man!"

The evidence was handed over, and the matter settled. The whole team had a day off, and Jiang Mingyue finally got to go home.

She found out that her second brother had visited. Ah! She had forgotten, and was planning to bring him some good food.

Her second brother had brought many things, but all the food was eaten by the elder cousin.

Seeing her in a miserable state, Jiang Ming’an clicked his tongue in disgust: "Where did this beggar come from? Get away a bit further to beg."

Jiang Mingyue suddenly turned away, not wanting to deal with this brother.

She entered the house and first soaked in the space hot spring pool. She had used up the bathing kit Yan Jinzhi had given her, only then did she wash herself clean. She turned back and lay down in the space’s lounge and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was a day later.

Feeling refreshed after waking, Jiang Mingyue busily harvested and planted crops.

She had a lot of chickens and rabbits stored. Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment and used her spiritual power to turn them into dried chicken and rabbit. She remembered Pan saying he needed a batch of dried chicken and rabbit. The fish in the fishpond were also plump, and the fruits—the third crop had blossomed and borne fruit, and even the later planted Qingmei trees had caught up, only a few hanging. As for the apples and grapes, they were completely covering the branches, and Jiang Mingyue pondered whether to thin the fruit, but thought that since this was space, she would leave it be.

The strawberries also bore abundant fruit, clicking her tongue, this crop was going to be another great harvest.

The only trouble was that her field’s yield was not going up.

Actually, she tried different methods, like scattering distiller’s grains as fertilizer in the fields, but seemingly to no avail.

She continued brewing corn into liquor, and then picked the rose petals to make tea. After this, it will take some time before there’s more.

The wild mushroom area this time yielded matsutake. Jiang Mingyue picked a few baskets, thinking they were just a bargain for her elder cousin.

Her spiritual power scanned the house in Qingshan Village, finding only Xiao Ran playing with Coal in the yard.

The others must be working.

Not staying any longer, she heard Lightning howling.

As she left the room, there was indeed another person in the courtyard on Magpie Street.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Mingyue suddenly attacked, aiming for Liu Chu’s face. Liu Chu reacted quickly, dodging to the right just in time. Her fist missed, but Liu Chu didn’t have time to feel smug before his leg got a solid kick. He realized the danger and instinctively closed his legs, preventing some damage to a certain area.

Liu Chu’s face darkened, "So, your initial aim was for a man’s weakest spot?"

Jiang Mingyue clicked her tongue, "What a shame! Nearly had your thing not showing its might, then it wouldn’t harm others."

Liu Chu: "... Such a pure girl, how could you say that?"

Jiang Mingyue’s expression didn’t change, "Those who do shameful things remain calm, why couldn’t I, a model youth, speak up? Liu Chu, one day I will cut off that thing of yours."

Liu Chu’s expression now turned icy cold: "Don’t think that the master protecting you means I won’t do anything. After all, when one is outside, the ruler’s commands aren’t always obeyed. I can find a random excuse to kill you."

Jiang Mingyue: "Talk is cheap, isn’t it? A defeated opponent dares to speak so boldly!"

One wants the other’s life, the other wants the other’s weakness, how can they continue talking?

Thinking about his purpose for coming here, Liu Chu ultimately took a deep breath, opened his eyes again, back to his shameless self.

"I’m here to negotiate sincerely. What will it take for you to give me that watch?"

"Oh! This time you’re frank? Why not go search my room instead?"

Liu Chu: "..." Endure! Clearly insinuating.
