Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 138: Beasts Should Tear Each Other Apart Until Death
"Rest assured, I’m fine. I haven’t had any feelings for them since I found out we’re not biologically related. All that’s left is disgust and hatred," Su Yijia reassured them.
Gao Huabin held up the notepad, on which a line had been written.
"Do you feel a bit relieved now?"
Apparently, Qin Kaize was worried that using spelling to communicate would be too slow.
Su Yijia felt touched and she said, "What if I’m still not satisfied?"
"Whatever you want to do, I’ll support you," Qin Kaize quickly spelt another line, looking at her earnestly.
"Whatever I want to do?" Su Yijia asked.
Of course!
Qin Kaize blinked emphatically twice. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Then, can I take charge of their execution?" Su Yijia’s question shocked the three men.
Despite their concern and dilemma, they didn’t immediately refuse. This was clearly against regulations, but there wouldn’t be any fundamental issues if they actually intervened.
No matter who was to conduct the execution, after all, both of the two were condemned to death.
"Alright," Qin Kaize blinked earnestly twice.
The desire for revenge against those who killed one’s mother was understandable. If it were him, he would want to be the one to carry out the punishment.
Touched by this response, Su Yijia’s heart swelled with a bittersweet feeling.
"Never mind, it’s not worth dirtying my hands for those two animals. But I hope that, until they are executed, both of them stay in the same cell and are closely watched. Don’t let Su Jianshe beat Lin Cuifen to death. If he does, he should be punished, right? Will he be beaten?" Su Yijia hadn’t been to prison, so she didn’t know the specific rules.
"If you want him to be punished by getting beaten, then he’ll be punished that way," Qin Kaize indulged his young wife, fulfilling all her wishes without a second thought.
He didn’t mind doing these things, even if they seemed troublesome.
"Can Lin Cuifen rest in the cell? Lock Su Jianshe in another cell, together with someone else condemned to death. Once Lin Cuifen is well enough, put them together. If he doesn’t beat her anymore, put him back in his cell." Su Yijia continued with her requests.
Keeping her in the infirmary would be like pampering her. She couldn’t let Lin Cuifen enjoy that.
These two "animals" should continue fighting like dogs until one of them is defeated.
Su Yijia knew what people were capable of when they knew they were about to die. Alone in a small cell, listening to the screams of others, it would be unbearable for anyone. Three months in such a state, no one could endure it. Lin Cuifen would be equally tormented, even if Su Jianshe wasn’t there with her. It was just a matter of whether she preferred mental torture or physical torment.
"Alright! I’ll make sure everything is arranged as you’ve said," Qin Kaize didn’t think these requests were excessive or troublesome. He even thought his young wife could ask for more.
To him, three months of suffering was too lenient a punishment for those two.
"Let’s go, let’s go! Now that we’ve settled matters with the Su and Lin families, and I’m in a good mood today, we’ll go grocery shopping and prepare a feast to celebrate," Su Yijia’s eyes sparkled like stars and crescents. Her smile was as radiant as a blooming mountain flower, radiating an exuberant joy.
Infected by their joy, Qin Kaize lanughed as well.
After lunch, Su Yijia took a nap with Qin Kaize. She then got up and set out.
Watching her hang the two baskets on the rear of her bicycle, Gao Huabin, asked concernedly, "Sister-in-law, do you want me to accompany you to the black market? You have a lot to sell, and it might be tiring for you to carry it all by yourself."
Su Yijia declined his offer and said, "It’s fine! I’ll be there in no time." She rode her bicycle and left.
When she was close to the black market, she found a deserted alley. tied two plastic containers to the back of her bicycle with hemp rope, and pushed toward the entrance of the market with all her strength.
From a distance, Qiu Yanqing spotted her and hurried to greet her with some helpers.
They pushed the goods into a small courtyard, and Qiu Yanqing hesitated as he lifted the 120-pound container of oil. "Comrade, why is there so little oil? Many people in the market need oil, and what we have might not be enough."
The other two black markets had been bustling lately, with one bringing in trendy clothes from Guang City and the other a shipment of electronic watches from Haigang City. These watches were becoming popular among the young people of Hu City, making their regular watches hard to sell.
With such limited oil, they might face trouble.
Su Yijia assured him, "I’ll bring more in a few days." Then she pointed to the two bamboo baskets on the ground. "I brought 600 bottles of the Whitening Lotion today. Do you all want them?"
"Of course, we want them all! Now we don’t have enough oil, and if we run short on the Whitening Lotion too, our business will be in jeopardy," Qiu Yanqing replied anxiously.
"What about the parts I asked you to order for me?" Su Yijia didn’t rush to collect the money, instead steering the conversation in another direction.
"Please wait a moment," Qiu Yanqing said.
Qiu Yanqing hurried into the small building and brought out a large bamboo basket, handing it over to Su Yijia. "Please check to make sure everything you requested is in good condition."
Su Yijia didn’t hesitate and began to inspect the contents one by one. The craftsman who helped had done a meticulous job, making sure the parts were smooth and well-made. This work wasn’t just about having craftsmanship but also genuine dedication. The materials he used were of high quality.
"Thank you. How much is it in total? If it’s short, I’ll make up the difference," Su Yijia expressed her gratitude as she looked at Qiu Yanqing.
Qiu Yanqing replied with a smile, "I wouldn’t charge you extra. I didn’t even spend the full 200 yuan you gave me. I only used 180 yuan, so you can keep the extra 20 yuan."
Su Yijia was deeply appreciative. It was clear that Qiu Yanqing had the opportunity to ask for a higher fee but chose to be fair and considerate. Without his kindness, she might have been met with an indifferent attitude if she had gone to a machine shop to get the parts she needed.
"What kind of relationship do we have? You’re saying this?" Qiu Yanqing’s tone became natural and friendly, strengthening their bond.
Su Yijia felt that Qiu Yanqing was quite reasonable, and she tacitly accepted this tentative move.
bottles of Whitening Lotion totaled 4,800 yuan, and 120 pounds of oil was 432 yuan. With her money and parts, Su Yijia left the black market and headed straight to the old carpenter’s house.
On the way, she stopped at the cooperative store to buy some pastries, egg cakes, and canned goods as a token of appreciation. She had all the supplies in hand, so she went straight back to her little building.
She was ready to try her hand at oil extraction to see how effective it would be.
