Chapter 241 Paying Penalty
The food was processed quickly. The ribs were from wild boar that the big tiger had brought back earlier. Apart from the marinated ribs, the fresh pork bones were still intact.

Add yam and pork ribs, put them in an earthenware pot to simmer, and soon a rich aroma will fill the courtyard.

At the same time, the fragrance also reached Shi Youyou and the others who were not far away.

They haven't had a proper meal in a long time, and even when they're lucky, the surrounding area is basically scavenged clean.

Very few could be found, and they had difficulty even getting food every day.

Shi Nian'an and Xiao Yu had wanted to leave for a long time, and with the survival expert hired by the Gao family, the four of them couldn't survive on the limited supplies they had.

But Shi Youyou was unwilling. Only she knew that everything she had now was obtained through Shi Nianqing.

Once he can no longer cling to Shi Nianqing, then there's the system within his body, and himself...

It's hard to accept just thinking about it. After enjoying the treatment of a protagonist, Shi Youyou simply can't accept going back to being unknown.

"Youyou, let's go. Shi Nianqing has gone mad. He won't help us."

"If you really can't take it anymore, let's quit. Our families will pay the penalty for breaking the contract."

“Youyou, I know you’re kind, but Shi Nianqing doesn’t deserve your concern for him.”

The two people kept trying to persuade Shi Youyou, but she remained unmoved.

“Brother, A-Yu, how can you say that? She is my sister and your sister too. How can we just abandon her like this? If we have to leave, we should leave together.”

Shi Youyou suddenly realized that perhaps leaving wasn't such a bad idea.

As long as Shi Nianqing is with you, with two families standing behind you, dealing with Shi Nianqing would be like finding fish in water.

Thinking of this, Shi Nianqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Why don't we talk to my sister and pay the penalty for breach of contract so we can leave this show together? It's just too unbearable here."

The fans and casual viewers in Shi Youyou's live stream—

[Youyou is so kind; I've never met such a kind girl.]

[They're truly a breath of fresh air in our entertainment industry.]

"Seriously? Is he alright? If he wanted to quit, that's fine, why is he dragging others down with him?"

You guys are having a tough time, but our Sister Shi is having a great time.

[Shi Nianqing eats well and dresses well every day. She can have whatever she wants to eat whenever she wants. She is also surrounded by all kinds of little rascals. She couldn't be happier.]

[You're just making assumptions again, Sister Bai Lian. Your tea-like aura is practically overflowing the screen.]

That's enough, you're going a bit too far.

……

Shi Youyou didn't have time to read the comments right now; the system in her mind was going crazy with anxiety.

It was originally a system that had defected, and once it lost its energy support, it would be completely annihilated.

And then there's Youyou, whose luck is getting worse and worse lately, with less and less food available.

At the same time, she also felt that the two people next to her no longer looked at her with the same boundless infatuation and indulgence as before.

The family members, who were off-camera, also began to feel regret.

Did they go too far? Were they being too biased?
They began to reflect, and once they did, all the good fortune they had drawn from them began to flow back to them.

The defection system in Shi Youyou's mind remained silent, only able to try its best to maintain the status quo. As long as Shi Nianqing was dealt with, they could return to their original ideal state.

Shi Youyou seemed to have thought of a good idea. She looked at the two of them with an expectant expression and said, "Brother, let's go find sister. Let's leave together and leave this awful place together."

Shi Nian'an didn't actually want to pay the breach of contract fee to her younger sister, but she really couldn't stay here any longer!
Unlike the extravagant life he led outside, he was already feeling extremely uncomfortable here, struggling to get enough to eat and wear, and having to guard against all sorts of snakes, insects, and rodents.

Xiao Yu, who was standing next to him, felt the same way.

The penalty for breach of contract is not a large sum of money for them.

But they were unwilling to pay for another person, no matter what.

Shi Youyou ignored them and led the group to the entrance of the shelter.

At this moment, Nianqing is stewing yam and pork rib soup, and also steaming the cassava from before to make a sweet soup.

On the table were the bamboo sticks we brought back, which had been cleaned and placed there, along with a bamboo fruit fork.

Next to it were various dishes that had been prepared, including braised beef brisket, sausages and cured meat, and most importantly, a jar of monkey wine.

The Monkey King gave them almost all of their monkey wine, keeping only a few jars as a starter.

For him, although the wine tasted good, drinking too much of it would make him dizzy and lightheaded, so it wasn't an essential part of his diet.

Shi Nianqing has a lot of dried fruit and various kinds of dried seafood here, more than she can eat. It would be perfect to give them to the monkey.

The little monkeys got food to survive the winter, and Shi Nianqing got the monkey wine she loved to drink—it was a win-win situation.

Having prepared a large table of delicious food, Shi Nianqing even brought back some oysters from the beach. After steaming them, they could be dipped in soy sauce or her own refreshing dipping sauce, which would be perfect.

Three people sat at a table laden with delicious food, with bone broth placed beside them.

Each person's bowl contains pork ribs and yam. The taste is wonderful, and the yam has a soft, powdery texture.

After drinking it, I felt much more refreshed.

"This soup has a really unique flavor, but I still think chicken stew with mushrooms is the best."

Shi Nianqing glanced at Wu Xuan and saw the longing in his eyes.

Indeed, no matter what kind of soup it is, it feels slightly inferior to chicken stew with mushrooms.

Suya, who was next to him, slapped him on the shoulder: "There's food to eat, and you're still being picky. Look at the others, they're so hungry their eyes are practically glowing green."

As he spoke, he looked towards the doorway and saw four people staring at them expectantly through the bars.

Especially when you smell the delicious food they make, your mouth waters.

But they dared not approach, for Xiong Er and Cuihua at the door were looking at them with an extremely cruel gaze.

Especially Cuihua, who had smelled the baby's scent on them before and thought something had happened to the baby.

After learning what had happened, I absolutely hated them.

If she could, Cuihua really wanted to devour them alive.

For wild predators, maternal instincts can unleash their powerful fighting abilities.

Especially a bunch of useless trash who would harm her own offspring; if Shi Nianqing hadn't told her otherwise, Cuihua would have truly swallowed them whole.

The three ignored them and ate to their hearts' content.

They also gave some to Cuihua, but Cuihua clearly wasn't interested in these cooked foods; she only drank a little soup at most.
