Chapter 286 You Eat First

Shi Xia remained silent in the back.

On the stage, a large pot of dark, sour-smelling "porridge" was brought up.

The four people who came down to "light the fire of the new broom" subconsciously showed their disdain, yet each of them began to lecture others with eloquent arguments.

"Was the Long March tough? You didn't even have these things when you were fighting. This was to train you to endure hardship and temper your spirit."

A person kept rambling on and on, as if he wanted to recite an entire speech.

Finally, he called out to Uncle Cao, telling him to eat first and set an example.

Uncle Cao hesitated before stepping forward. It wasn't that he was being coy; it was just that half of this thing contained sand, and the other half contained something he couldn't name.

It must have been really tough on these people; I have no idea where they got it from!
Even during the years of natural disasters, they never ate this stuff in their village.

They live off the sea, and although they eat seafood to lose weight, they haven't actually starved to death.

Uncle Cao controlled his expression. He had long heard about the stories of people reminiscing about the past and appreciating the present on other islands, and he was always glad that their three islands didn't have such stories.

Who knew they would suddenly parachute in!
This was completely unprepared.

If the villagers hadn't been quick-witted and informed them beforehand, allowing them to change their clothes and hide their belongings, there probably would have been more trouble.

These days, it's illegal to create wealth through your own labor.

Uncle Cao thought about many things, but he still picked up the spoon. These people couldn't come to check every day, so he could just fool them for one day.

"Let me do it!"

Cao Ping stepped forward, took the spoon from Uncle Cao's hand, scooped up some water, and drank it.

Uncle Cao is getting old; he probably can't handle taking that bite.

The four people behind him looked offended and pointed at Cao Ping.

"Who are you? Everyone has to drink, not a single one can be left out."

Cao Ping was stopped. Uncle Cao didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to keep a low profile. The villagers of Hai San Island had become a bit wild under Shi Xia's care.

If these people go any further, they'll all have to stay here.

"I'll take it, I'll take it! Go back, what are you fighting for? I'll leave you a bite."

Uncle Cao gave Cao Ping a look, and Cao Ping had no choice but to retreat.

Shi Xia, who was standing behind, suddenly realized that her view was blocked.

"Shi Xia, you should leave now, that stuff doesn't taste good."

Several villagers quietly blocked Shi Xia, letting her go first.

Shi Xia pushed the person away.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Uncle Cao was about to drink, his hand trembled, and he spilled the porridge.

Oh no, our ancestor is back!

He looked at the four people on the stage and said with utmost sincerity, "You must not have any conflict with her."

"Please do not!"

"Hmph! That's hilarious. Who is she? I'd like to see who's trying to get special treatment."

The person on stage looked serious as he looked at the crowd. Shi Xia walked over from behind, and the crowd automatically parted.

That grandeur was far greater than what was on stage.

The leader on the stage felt suppressed and humiliated in a poor, remote place, and decided to regain his face.

"who are you?"

"Who do you care who I am?"

Summer arrived, and a single sentence made the other person blush with anger.

It's been so long since anyone dared to speak to him like that!

Uncle Cao sighed; what happened next was beyond his control.

No, that's not right. He still needs to keep an eye on things, just in case he needs to kill someone...

No, no, they are all successors to harmonious socialism, they cannot do such a thing, they definitely cannot do it.

Uncle Cao stepped forward, blocking the group of people, and introduced them, saying, "These are villagers from our village. The children are young and speak a bit harshly. You are older, so please don't take it to heart."

"Go away!"

Uncle Cao was pushed.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't make any progress.

Uncle Cao is a seaside man who can go to sea, while the other party looks like an office worker who has never done any manual labor.

"What are you doing!"

"You fucking pushed me!"

"Take your claws away!"

One action enraged the villagers. The man who pushed the woman was surrounded by a crowd and took several steps back in fear. Forget about causing trouble for Shi Xia; he was even worried about whether he could leave alive.

Uncle Cao turned around and comforted him, "It's alright, it's alright."

At this moment, Shi Xia also arrived on the stage, walked to the side of the pot, scooped out a spoonful, and looked at it.

"You all eat first, since your diet is so simple and frugal."

The spoon was handed directly to one of the people's mouths.

"Bah!"

The man stepped back, shaking his head from the stench.

Shi Xia sneered.

"You don't even eat it yourselves, yet you dare to tell others to eat it? Is this how you live a frugal and simple life?"

"Who are you? This is no place for you to speak—"

Those who criticized Shi Xia dared not speak again, because all the villagers went a step further, their eyes filled with murderous intent, as if they could tear him apart if he spoke again.

There are only four people on their side.

"What are you doing! As the village chief, aren't you going to do anything about them! What kind of behavior is this?"

Uncle Cao, who was called out, took a step back and stood behind Shi Xia.

"I've tried to persuade you, but you won't listen. There's nothing I can do. Anyway, if you bully her, you're bullying us."

"We may not be very educated, but we are very strong."

Uncle Cao had originally wanted to let things rest, but since Shi Xia had already made her move, he couldn't sabotage the situation.

"you you you--"

After stammering for a while, the other party realized that they really seemed to have no other options.

They were hoping that the ignorant masses would fear their leadership, but now, the fishermen who were just obedient are now practically ready to stab them in the back.

And all of this is because of the woman in front of him.

"Hello, let me formally introduce myself. My name is—"

"It doesn't matter, and I don't care. You just need to remember my name, Shi Xia."

"Drink this pot of porridge, then leave."

"As for the consequences of not doing so, I'm not sure either; it's up to you."

"Uncle Cao, watch them finish drinking."

Shi Xia threw down her rice spoon and left.

Looking at Shi Xia, who had lost a lot of weight, Uncle Cao was already thinking about what delicious food he could find for her when they got home.

"Cao Ping, have the fishing team keep an eye on them."

Uncle Cao has also left.

Before long, more than thirty strong fishermen surrounded the four men, watching them drink porridge.

The four of them were incredibly annoyed, but they were also genuinely afraid of dying.

Eat first. Once we leave this place, he'll teach them a lesson!

Forced by circumstances, the four people began to eat porridge.

They felt nauseous while eating; when have they ever suffered like this before!

On the other side, Shi Xia gave her luggage to Grandpa Shi and prepared to go to town.

Grandpa Shi looked at Shi Xia with heartache.

"Why have you lost weight again?"

“I’ve been a picky eater lately, so I’m asking you to feed me when I get back.”

Grandpa Shi knew this wasn't the truth, but he could only take it as such.

"What do you want to eat? Grandpa will make it for you."

"I knew Grandpa was the best."

Auntie came over and took Shi Xia's hand.

How did Wen Cheng'an take care of you?

“You can talk to him when he gets back.”

After coaxing her aunt, Shi Xia called a few people to follow her in a boat and leave for land.

She wanted to see who dared to set their sights on the three islands.

She works so hard every day picking up things, just wanting to create a paradise for herself.

If the paradise is gone, then why should she work so hard?
