Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 144 - She’s Too Bullying!!!
Chapter 144: Chapter 144 She’s Too Bullying!!!
Ordinary people would have been at a loss in this situation by now.
But Jiang Yan was, after all, Jiang Yan. He not only naturally took a seat amid the aunts but even took the melon seeds they passed to him, cracking them and chatting away about the mountains.
“Granny, I’ve just been on this variety show, never been in a drama, but if Granny wants to watch, I’ll go act in one in the future.”
“I live in the Capital, it’s crowded, and I live with my uncles and aunts. Jiang Li is indeed my sister, but she had a genetic mutation, she’s not quite like the rest of our family.”
“Auntie, if you keep praising me like that I’ll get shy. You’re so young and have such a good aura, not a bit inferior to those city women.”
“I’m 21 this year and still don’t have a girlfriend, Auntie, but if you could introduce me to someone, someone who was like you when younger, that would be great.”
...
“I can’t handle this, Young Master, how can you just go along with anyone! Even flirting with the aunts and grannies!”
“So you’re talking bad about Jiang Li, huh? Wait till Jiang Li comes over and sees you!”
“Help, I would have social anxiety already. How can Jiang Yan be so socially brilliant, managing to chat with everyone?”
“Jiang Yan actually doesn’t have a girlfriend? Really? He looks like he has a truckload of girlfriends.”
“No girlfriend? So does that mean I still have a chance?”
“Wake up sis, above. It’s true Jiang Yan doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he previously had a fiancée, it was an arranged marriage by family, though I don’t know why they split later on. I’ve heard people mention it, but with his family background, they surely care about matching social status.”
Seeing how sweet Jiang Yan talked, the aunties liked him even more, even declaring that if the director ever starved him, he should just come to their house.
Jiang Yan feigned great excitement, “Really? That would be too embarrassing.”
“What’s so embarrassing? Our house won’t run out of food for you. Ah, why didn’t you come live at our place before? Uncle Zhao’s place is alright, but seriously poor! Look at you, your face has sunken in.”
Jiang Yan laughed, “Thank you for your concern, Auntie, but I won’t mooch off you, in case the director deducts my points. There is something else I really want to eat, though.”
“What is it? Just tell us, and if we have it at home, I’ll bring it to you right now.”
Jiang Yan sneakily moved closer and whispered a few words into the auntie’s ear.
She immediately burst into a bigger grin.
“Goodness, it’s just cigarettes. My husband has some on him, just wait, I’ll bring the whole pack to you.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan’s face lit up with anticipation.
He could finally smoke!
He had been suffering without it!
Especially since both the production team and Jiang Li were out, he had to seize the opportunity to enjoy a few puffs!
The smoking auntie left, and the other people were called away to lay out the dishes.
Jiang Yan sat alone at the door, growing more anxious as he waited.
Why was it taking the auntie so long?
Just as he hesitated over whether to get up and look for her, a voice suddenly came from above him—
“Are you looking for this?”
Seeing the pack of cigarettes that appeared before his eyes, Jiang Yan excitedly grabbed it like a mouse that had just seen grains.
“Yes, yes, that’s it, thank you, thank you.”
But when he tried to pull the pack toward him, he found it stuck to the other’s hand, impossible to pull free.
He then noticed the hand—fair and slender, not at all like an auntie’s.
And that voice—
It was as if something clicked, and Jiang Yan’s eyes widened as he jolted to his feet and turned around, coming face to face with the deviously smirking Jiang Li.
Jiang Yan’s instincts tingled at the base of his spine.
“Fuck, why is it you?!”
The smile in Jiang Li’s eyes deepened, “Why can’t it be me?”
While she spoke, she glanced at the pack of cigarettes in her hand, “You refuse to cook, and when asked to help out, you still borrow cigarettes from the villagers—”
Jiang Yan’s face immediately tightened as he retorted, “I’ve been moving stuff around for half the day; the viewers in the live stream can all vouch for me. What’s wrong with wanting a pack of cigarettes? It’s my reward!”
Jiang Li’s smile disappeared, “I’m confiscating the cigarettes; you keep working.”
After saying that, she turned and left unapologetically, leaving Jiang Yan standing there in impotent fury.
“Damn it! This girl is too bullying, one day I’ll make her pay!”
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter, our young master’s cigarettes are gone again, Jiang Li arrived just in time.]
[Jiang Yan, stop just talking big. If you have the ability, really give Jiang Li a run for her money.]
[Doesn’t anyone feel like Jiang Li is a bit too controlling? She’s even managing her own brother’s smoking—If that were my sister, she’d have been scolded to tears long ago.]
[You must be sick upstairs. They are real siblings, one family; what’s wrong with managing each other? Smoking isn’t a good habit; it’s harmful without a single benefit. If someone did that for me, I’d be over the moon.]
[Some people are just sour because they can’t have the grapes. They hit each other willingly; what’s it to you? Instead of ranting here, better spend your time reading more and improving yourself.]
Having been exposed to the live streams for the past couple of days, the ordinary people from Li Ming’s village had noticeably stepped up their game.
If someone deliberately picked a fight on Weibo, they wouldn’t retort harshly but would casually drop a “Read more when you’re free; it’s good for your brain,” leaving the other party grinding their teeth in anger.
Gradually, more and more people gathered at the village chief’s doorstep, and as soon as Jiang Li appeared, she was instantly surrounded by villagers.
Later, it was Aunt Ying who saw she was struggling to cope and took the opportunity to pull her aside.
“Master Jiang, sit with me tonight. Don’t worry, with me here, no one else will trouble you.”
Jiang Li smiled and nodded her head.
As people began to arrive, Jiang Li finally had Qi Tianyu bring up all the dishes they had prepared.
Each table received a portion of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, a serving of fish soup, and a serving of fried sauce noodles.
Jiang Li explained each dish.
“These were all made by the guests of our show. The flavor might not be perfect, but they’re made with full sincerity. I hope everyone won’t dismiss them.”
The villagers reacted enthusiastically.
“How could we dismiss it? Food made by big stars, even plain rice, we’d love to eat.”
“This dish looks really good, especially the fish soup. It looks fragrant, and smells even better.”
“Stop talking and start eating already, I’m drooling over here!”

“….”
Other villagers’ dishes were also gradually brought to the tables, and in no time, the area was enveloped in a variety of delicious aromas.
The workers who had been busy all day were already starving, so they no longer cared about formalities and just went for it with their chopsticks.
The fish soup made by Jiang Li was also quickly devoured by those who had been salivating over it.
When they finally tasted it, each one of them was in awe, their eyes widening in amazement.
“Wow, this fish soup is so delicious, I didn’t expect Master Jiang to be good at not only fortune-telling but cooking as well.”
“This is the best fish soup I’ve ever had; I need to get another bowl!”
“How come it’s gone after just one sip? You people must be reincarnated from starving ghosts—such fast eaters.”
