Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work Chapter 99: How Nice It Would Be Not to Be So Obedient

Yi Roujing’s maternal grandfather’s house was at the foot of the mountain, and since it was noon, no one from the production team saw them when they went down the mountain and entered the courtyard, saving quite a bit of trouble.

Yi Roujing took Ding Ancheng to her own room here, which used to be very warmly decorated, but after many years, only empty furniture remained. However, just from the amount of furniture, one could see how favored Yi Roujing was.

Yi Roujing squatted down and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed, filled with books. After all, Liu Qinghai was a renowned doctor working at a traditional Chinese dicine hospital, his patients were widespread, and many ca to him by reputation. So patients also introduced others to him, so Liu Qinghai wasn’t affected in any way, but others didn’t know about this.

The reason the books under the bed were preserved was precisely because of this. Yi Roujing carefully flipped through them and then pushed them back.

"Not taking them back?" Ding Ancheng was a bit surprised.

"In a few years," Yi Roujing was mindful, not wanting to involve the Ding Family yet. If soone caught her reading, it would implicate the Ding Family.

In fact, she had read quite a few of the books in the box, so she read in the future, others had been read by her original self, and she retained those mories too.

Ding Ancheng respected Yi Roujing’s decision.

Next, the two simply tidied up the surroundings inside and out, packed their findings into baskets lined with hay, which Ding Ancheng securely placed at the front rod of the bike. As they cycled out of the Wan Tang Production Team, they encountered quite a few people heading to work.

However, to the people in the production team, Ding Ancheng and Yi Roujing were unfamiliar faces, though so with a good eye imdiately recognized Yi Roujing, as she practically grew up there and her features, although more developed, still bore resemblances to her childhood self.

Yi Roujing had long forgotten the people, only estimating nas by age, teasing the young couple about Ding Ancheng’s handsoness, and complinting the couple’s good looks was essential. They didn’t return until half an hour later.

When they got ho, only Liu Huilan was there, the three children were still sleeping, and everyone else had gone to work. Ding Ancheng took the ga to the kitchen and went off to find more work. Yi Roujing, anwhile, hugged her box and went to whisper with Liu Huilan.

Drawer after drawer was opened, and Liu Huilan maintained a calm deanor, finally breaking into a relieved smile as she picked up the jade rattle and tapped it back and forth, its sound crisp and clear.

"I was wondering where these things went," Liu Huilan said with a smile. "I also played with this rattle when I was little, and the nine-chain ring too, though I never managed to solve it, so I stopped playing with it."

"Your grandfather played with these when he was little too, they’ve been passed down through the Liu Family for generations, though by the ti they reached your grandfather, only these few remained."

"When you were little, you played with the nine-chain ring and solved it your first ti, making your grandfather so happy. Your three brothers are quite dense, like your mother, and can’t solve it," Liu Huilan said as she burst into laughter.

"Your grandfather must have told you the place, which ans he left all these things to you, take them back with you later."

Yi Roujing firmly shook her head, "I don’t want them, Mom should keep them. When they can be sold for money, share them with the brothers."

Yi Roujing also took out so pills, "Mom, there’s also this."

Liu Huilan’s eyes instantly reddened at the sight of the long box, "When your grandparents were dying, I asked about these life-saving pills, why didn’t they take them."

"Your grandfather said taking them would be futile, their ti was almost up, and consuming more pills wouldn’t save them, no use in wasting them." Liu Huilan burst into tears, "So they were here, they were here all along."

Yi Roujing quietly watched Liu Huilan cry for a good quarter of an hour, she shed tears too, the tenderness in her deeper mories mingling with the sobs before her, resonating with her emotions, though she did not cry aloud.

After calming down, Liu Huilan wiped Yi Roujing’s tears, smiling through her red eyes, "I lost my composure, but I’m so happy you’re like your grandfather. Take all this back; your grandfather left it for you."

"Mom, I don’t want..."

"Listen," Liu Huilan said seriously yet gently, "Your grandfather’s decisions I never argued with. Since he left them for you, I can’t take them."

Yi Roujing’s eyes flickered with an idea, "Since these are now mine, I want to give them to Mom and the brothers."

"Oh you," Liu Huilan helplessly smiled. Ultimately, at her fair suggestion, everything was divided into two parts, one for Yi Roujing and one for the family.

"Mom, this isn’t right, it should be split into five parts for the brothers..."

"Roujing, either do as I say or take everything back with you," Liu Huilan insisted.

In the end, Yi Roujing could only compromise.

Yi Shunyin and the others returned from work to see pheasant, rabbit, and wild eggs in the kitchen, surprised, and of course, Yi Roujing claid that Ding Ancheng had brought them. Well, Ding Ancheng’s popularity continued to rise.

At night, after washing up, Ding Ancheng laid down in Yi Roujing’s scented chamber, watching as she sat on the bed engrossed in studying the prescription in her hand.

Yi Roujing looked at the dicinal ingredients within, feeling a headache coming on. Several were hard to find, musk for one, along with bezoar and buffalo horn, considering that cattle were pri laborers, few were slaughtered. Oh dear...

She did have the pearl, from the ti she received a single one, but if it was truly needed for a pill, even one would be insufficient in amount.

Yi Roujing rolled around in frustration on the bed, sitting up suddenly. What was there to fear? Find what she could first and deal with the rest later, why panic?

"What are you thinking, little brain of yours?" Ding Ancheng chuckled, rubbing Yi Roujing’s hair top.

"Just about the dicine," Yi Roujing bluntly replied, which made Ding Ancheng satisfied as he pulled her into his embrace, holding her tight.

"What are you doing?" Yi Roujing squird uncomfortably as she was tightly held but couldn’t break free.

"Stop moving." The voice near her ear beca husky, scaring Yi Roujing into complete stillness. This guy wouldn’t be thinking of...?

"Sigh." Ding Ancheng sighed in regret, wishing she wouldn’t be obedient now.

The next morning, Yi Roujing got up with Ding Ancheng. Seeing him about to run early, she joined in. As the sky was just starting to brighten, they ran a lap around Xintang Production Team. Yi Roujing didn’t fall behind, which surprised Ding Ancheng.

Yet after two laps, Yi Roujing couldn’t keep up and slowed down. After one more lap, she stopped running, understanding that haste leads to failure.

"Roujing, Roujing." While wiping her sweat and catching her breath, Yi Roujing heard the voice and turned to see Wang Qiushuang, oh, how unlucky.

"Roujing, you’re back ho, and spent last night here? Why didn’t you co to find ? A month from now, I’ll also be a wife of the Dingping Production Team like you." Wang Qiushuang said with a smile.
