Gu Jiaojiao had asked Aunt Zhao to set aside the meat for the Xu Family. While it was intended for Yu Fangfang and as a thank-you to Chen Xiaoli, it didn’t really matter who took it, since the village chief’s family hadn’t divided their household yet. It was the thought that counted.

She would give Chen Xiaoli a bar of face soap another day.

She had originally prepared extra meat, but more people had shown up than expected. Except for a small portion, it was all finished.

The women who came to help today had worked hard, so she planned to give each of them some meat as a thank-you.

She took two wild pheasants from the cellar, cut them into small pieces, and placed them in a bowl.

The village chief’s family’s portion had already been sent.

As for the rest, she would have Chen JianShe take the portion for his family and also deliver a portion to Aunt Zhao’s family.

Then there was Uncle Chen’s family. She had given them fish last time, so she wanted to return the favor with a larger portion of meat this time.

As for Chen Ruoyu, everyone at the Educated Youth Point ate together. If she sent meat over, it would be awkward for Chen Ruoyu to eat it alone. It would be better to invite her over for a meal another day.

Besides the chicken, Gu Jiaojiao also put some milk candies in the basket.

Whichever house she delivered to, she would give them a handful.

Although it was a celebration feast today, she wasn’t a brand-new bride, so she wasn’t overcome with shyness. She just took Sweet Girl with her, carrying the basket to deliver the meat.

As it happened, it was an unfortunate coincidence.

She ran into Xu Wenwan on the way.

When Xu Wenwan saw Gu Jiaojiao, she let out a cold snort and arrogantly turned her face away.

Gu Jiaojiao was left speechless.

’Even if she doesn’t like me, does she have to be so obvious? Hasn’t she ever heard that a dog that bites doesn’t bark?’

’She’s so brainless.’

However, she glanced at Xu Wenwan, then at Feng Ergou beside her, a strange look in her eyes.

She was reminded of Xu Wenwan’s system.

’Don’t tell me she’s planning to absorb Feng Ergou’s luck!’

Speaking of which, she had heard from Chen JianShe a while back that this Feng Ergou was extremely unlucky. He would trip on flat ground, nearly fall into the latrine pit, and even manage to fall out of bed and end up black and blue. It was as if he were cursed.

The more Gu Jiaojiao thought about it, the more excited she became, and she edged a little closer to Xu Wenwan.

As she got closer, she heard an electronic voice.

"Host, you’ve almost finished absorbing all of Feng Ergou’s luck. If you keep going, you’ll start absorbing his bad luck, too."

Xu Wenwan already found Feng Ergou’s face to be an eyesore. Hearing the system say this, she instantly took several steps back, putting some distance between herself and him.

A smile from Xu Wenwan had just sent Feng Ergou’s heart racing. Just as he was about to confess his feelings, he saw her instantly leap a great distance away from him.

Feng Ergou: ...

’How did she move over there so fast?’

The word "teleportation" hadn’t been coined yet, or he certainly would have used it.

Xu Wenwan snorted coldly. "A toad lusting after a swan. Stop following me around. I will never like you."

After saying her piece, she turned and walked away.

As a result, she nearly bumped into Gu Jiaojiao.

Luckily, she managed to stop on a dime.

Staring at Gu Jiaojiao’s face, Xu Wenwan was overcome with jealousy.

’Even though Gu Jiaojiao is the villainess and is destined for a bad end, her face is just too perfect. That flawless skin, those captivating eyes... forget men, even women would be mesmerized.’

"System, can’t I absorb luck from women, too?"

’For some reason, the plot has changed, and life is getting better and better for this villainess, Gu Jiaojiao. I can’t stand seeing her looking so pleased with herself.’

’I’m going to absorb Gu Jiaojiao’s luck.’

System: ...

"Although you can’t absorb Gu Jiaojiao’s luck, you can absorb Leng Yuan’s."

"As long as you absorb Leng Yuan’s, no one will be there to protect Gu Jiaojiao anymore. Then her fate will be just as you wrote it in your book."

Xu Wenwan frowned.

She frowned deeply.

’Leng Yuan is handsome, has a good job, and is a future powerhouse.’

’But his expressionless face is too intimidating.’

’That’s why she hadn’t made a move on him all this time.’

’For some reason, whenever she met those emotionless eyes, her heart would panic, and she’d feel an overwhelming urge to run away.’
