Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 154: The Man’s Childish Jealousy

Even the boxes were made of golde nanmu wood?

Su Yijia was excited as she touched the edges of the wooden box. Because there was no direct sunlight here, she couldn’t see the golden threads reflected on the surface. She instantly regretted that she had carelessly stepped on these boxes earlier.

Thinking of how she had just used her foot to step on these valuable boxes, she quickly wiped away the footprints with a remorseful look on her face.

She took out everything from her storage space and arranged the five boxes neatly inside.

The five large boxes took up the entire space, around three-quarters of it. She crammed the remaining 760 kilograms of peanuts and purchased herbs into the little space that was left, making it packed to the brim with no room to spare.

"Can’t this space be a bit bigger? You’re a system, how can you be so stingy?" Su Yijia complained with a disdainful look on her face.

But 666 appeared unapologetic.

[Two square meters is not small at all. It’s just enough for everything you need. Once you’re back home, you can make some space by reorganizing your belongings, and it’ll be fine.]

"So, you guys don’t have any method for expanding the space?" Su Yijia still wasn’t giving up.

Small 666 paused for a few seconds before suggesting,

[Don’t you have two more chances for the lottery? Why don’t you give it a try? You might get what you need.]

"Ha! You wish," Su Yijia immediately refused. She wasn’t certain what she might get from those two draw chances, but they were like a lifeline for her.

Once the granite was placed back neatly, Su Yijia carefully wiped away any fingerprints she left on it. She used a tree branch to push the steel spikes back into the pit. Afterward, she covered the pit securely with numerous thorny branches.

Then, she pulled herself up the rope. Glancing at the time, it was already 7 p.m. The last minibus to the city from the village was at 8 p.m. Su Yijia couldn’t afford to delay, so she ran back as quickly as possible. Thankfully, at this time, most of the villagers were either preparing dinner or working on their small farms. She stealthily made her way back home. She barely made it to the minibus station in time, and she had to walk for about 20 more minutes to reach her house.

When Su Yijia appeared at the entrance of the alley carrying the medicinal herbs and 760 catties of peanuts, Xia Weiguo was waiting with Qin Kaize. His eyes had a shallow smile, a mixture of tension, concern, and love, as they kept scanning her. Su Yijia turned around, allowing him to give her a careful look.

Then, she smiled apologetically and said, "This time when I went into the mountains to find the medicinal herb for the Great Strength Pills, I thought it would be a quick task, but catching wild chickens and finding old locust trees turned out to be more challenging. I ended up taking more time than expected. I’m sorry, next time I’ll make sure to set things clear in advance."

"Did you get bitten by any insects? If you’re feeling unwell, let me know. Uncle Xia has some effective medicine," Qin Kaize’s concern didn’t diminish with her explanation.

Instead, he seemed even more worried that her body hidden under the clothes might have insect bites or injuries.

Su Yijia responded, "No, my constitution seems to repel such things." She told a little white lie, not daring to mention her encounter with the silver ring snake.

However, it was uncertain whether he believed her or not; his dark eyes remained fixed on her, and he wouldn’t look away. Feeling uneasy under his scrutinizing gaze, Su Yijia quickly moved behind the wheelchair to take Xia Weiguo’s place.

"Let’s go, we’re heading back. I’ll show you the results. Gao, could you please help me carry these things?" She said, looking at Gao Huabin, who was standing to the side.

Gao Huabin sneaked a look at Qin Kaize, who still had a dark expression. Finally, he had to grit his teeth and pick up all the things that Su Yijia had brought back. Then, he followed them.

"Yijia, where did you go? Why did you come back so late? Don’t you know we were all worried? Ze hasn’t even eaten dinner yet," Grandma Lin hurriedly got up at the sound of their arrival. Her worried expression, accompanied by the slight trembling of her body, made Su Yijia, who was already feeling guilty, unable to lift her head.

"You, child, don’t you know how dangerous it is out there now? There are all sorts of bad people, kidnappers and perverts targeting pretty girls like you." Grandma Lin held Su Yijia’s arm and examined her, turning her around a couple of times to make sure she had no bloodstains or injuries before finally calming down. Then, she reached out to pat the wrinkles and dirt on Su Yijia’s clothes.

"Look at you, where have you been? Your clothes are all dirty. Go and take a bath. I’ve already heated up the water for you." Grandma Lin said with deep concern. Seeing a child who could still grow up so well despite facing adversity must mean she had her own way of surviving. She wouldn’t press for details if she didn’t speak.

But when it came to their own child, she couldn’t bear to see her looking so dirty. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"It’s okay, I just got scratched a few times by branches in the mountains," Su Yijia had to hug Grandma Lin’s arm and mumbled.

After pushing Qin Kaize to the middle of the yard, she took out a soy sauce bottle from her backpack, which contained the Great Strength Pills.

"These are the Great Strength Pills. I made a batch earlier, and with the addition of the guiding drug, the pills are a complete success," she shook the nine pills in the bottle and proudly announced.

In theory, everyone’s attention should have been drawn to these miraculous pills. However, Qin Kaize’s gaze remained firmly fixed on her, following her every movement like a devoted admirer.

Su Yijia moistened her slightly dry lips and could only ignore his persistent gaze for the time being. She then waved to Gao Huabin. "Gao, come over and let’s compare our strength."

"No, I won’t!" Gao Huabin shook his head quickly. How would he dare to hold the hand of his sister-in-law. But once his eldest brother recovered, he was sure to receive a severe beating that would leave him unrecognizable, even to his own parents. After refusing, he instinctively looked at Qin Kaize. However, he didn’t see the approving expression he had hoped for. Instead, those jet-black eyes held a hint of cold danger.

"What... how about I give it a try?" Gao Huabin suggested tentatively. Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Kaize’s deep eyes suddenly turned icy, filled with a warning. Gao Huabin quickly withdrew his extended foot.

So, what’s the situation now? He couldn’t compare, but not comparing wasn’t acceptable either. The eldest brother might as well just finish him off directly. Gao Huabin was practically in tears as he muttered in his mind.

Su Yijia’s lips curled slightly. She changed the direction of the wheelchair and crouched down beside Qin Kaize.

"Are you even jealous of this?" She teased.

Qin Kaize’s gaze shifted uncomfortably, but the faint blush that colored his ears exposed his feelings clearly. Qin Kaize felt the intense heat of the young girl’s gaze, as if she were trying to burn a hole through him, so he could only surrender and look back at her. But Su Yijia was smiling sweetly, as if she were soaked in honey.
