Cataclysm: Precognition system vs. luck system

Chapter 262

Inside the small restaurant.

"What? I have to use all the money I earned today to pay off my debts before I can continue to eat on credit!"

Listening to the words of the withered old lady, Fang Tianling felt sad. His brilliant plan of holding onto the ghost money and not paying off the debt, and then paying off the village debt and having all the ghost money his own, was aborted.

Fortunately, the old lady only knew about the money she earned from fishing today, and she didn't know about the extra money she earned from Si Tiantian.

Li Huaijue also silently handed over the 50 ghost notes he earned, and then ordered a bowl of seafood rice for 60 ghost notes.

Si Tiantian, however, was no longer stingy. She sat down with a flourish and ordered the restaurant's signature dishes. "Pickled mustard greens and yellow croaker, oil-drizzled black fish fillet, crispy sole fish, and baked cuttlefish eggs. Bring me one portion each. Rong Xiu, little uncle, you two can join us. It's my treat."

Xiao Gao, who was working in the strange and special office at the next table, widened his eyes.

Oh my god, did she go out to pick up money or something?

Not only do you only pick the expensive ones, but you also don’t bargain?

Li Huaijue was holding the seafood rice he had just ordered with an anxious look on his face. He carefully pulled the corner of Si Tiantian's clothes under the table. He thought that even if his niece had money, she couldn't spend it like this. The prices of the food in this small restaurant were obviously wrong. They were being taken advantage of!

Si Tiantian gave him a reassuring smile, "Don't worry, little uncle. You can enjoy the meal without worry."

Rong Xiu was different. He had no expression on his face and remained calm. He was more familiar than Si Tiantian and went to the rice pot at the kitchen door to fill two bowls of tightly pressed rice. With his slender white fingers, he handed one bowl to Si Tiantian and took the other for himself. Then he sat down and waited for the food to be served.

Seeing this, Li Huaijue could only swallow his worried words silently, then picked up the bowl and finished the whole meal with trembling hands. At the end, he even burped.

It can be seen that although he was nervous while eating, he did eat less.

Li Huaijue showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

Si Tiantian didn't care. She smiled and cleaned up the mess with Rong Xiu. Then, while stroking her round belly, she said to the withered old lady who came over to collect the money, "Grandma, I don't have any more money on me. I'll owe you this money for now. I'll go fishing with our village boat tomorrow and pay you back when I make some money."

Fang Tianling, who was sitting at the next table on the right, widened her eyes as she listened. After a moment's thought, she immediately understood Si Tiantian's idea.

Good man, he wants to eat for free while owing debts. Once this weird situation is resolved, the debt will be gone.

Although I can’t get any cash, I can eat for free!

Also, if being in debt is dangerous, then there are those who owe more money and are taking the blame. It's the same as if the sky is falling and there are tall people to hold it up. The small fish and shrimps who owe less debt are too safe hiding below.

This is such a cool move!

Why didn't she think of that!

As expected, it was Si Tiantian, the smart boss she recognized!

So she rubbed her stomach, which was only half full after eating the seafood rice, and raised her hand excitedly, "Grandma, I'm not full yet. Can you give me another bowl of oily black fish slices? I was amazed by it before, and I still miss it now. I can't help but want to try it again."

The withered old lady who was unable to get the ghost money due to her debts felt a little better. "Although you are a poor girl, you know what's good. You know that my family's food is delicious and you have a sweet mouth. Not bad, not bad. If all my sons had not married, I would definitely let you be my daughter-in-law.

But she can’t be my daughter-in-law. Other young men in our village are also good. Grandma, how about I introduce one to you? My neighbor’s family has a son who…”

Fang Tianling's heart was filled with alarm. Realizing something was wrong, she quickly grabbed the hand of Li Huaijue, who was sitting at the next table, and raised it high, declaring her sovereignty. "Grandma, there's no need to introduce me to my uncle. I've always had a crush on Huaijue, and today I couldn't help but confess my feelings. Now we're already in a relationship, and I appreciate your kindness."

Li Huaijue: ...

Confession, when did it happen?

But no matter how slow he was, he knew that the situation was not right at the moment, and he could only give an awkward but polite smile.

Xu Miaoyi, who had just walked into the restaurant, happened to hear these words and saw Li Huaijue's tacit agreement. Her cold face suddenly darkened.

Is Brother Huaijue going to give up on her and fall in love with another girl?

No, it's impossible. Brother Huai Jue would definitely not fall in love with someone else so quickly. She knew how good he had been to her over the years. It must be because of his brother's affairs that Brother Huai Jue misunderstood her too deeply, so that other little goblin took advantage of the opportunity.

The little goblin Fang Tianling felt a chill on her spine, and inexplicably felt that she was being stared at by something dirty.

She turned her head and met Xu Miaoyi's cold eyes.

Alas, isn’t this the pretentious woman who hooked Li Huaijue before and caused her own brother to fall into the sea and his life or death is unknown!

What’s the matter? Are you still planning to continue eating what’s in your bowl and what’s in the pot?

You dare to look at her like that? Well, she'll get mad. She'll take the pot away and see how you look back.

Thinking of this, Fang Ziling immediately stood up, then sat next to Li Huaijue and squeezed together with him, not letting go of his hand, holding hands, looking very intimate, and then she raised her lips provocatively towards Xu Miaoyi.

Xu Miaoyi bit her lip, and her cold face looked extremely ugly.

Si Tiantian pulled Rong Xiu to eat melon silently, laughing.

[I suddenly feel like Xiao Fang and my uncle look a bit like a married couple. Come on, Xiao Fang, completely get Xu Miaoyi out of my uncle's mind. I'm rooting for you~]

"Uncle, you should show some courage. Xu Miaoyi can't even compare to a finger of Xiao Fang. Go and see Xiao Fang, wash your eyes and heal your lameness."

Li Huaijue's ears turned red and he lowered his eyes in embarrassment, especially when he felt the delicate little hand holding him tightly, his face almost burned.

He temporarily put Xu Miaoyi aside.

Xu Miaoyi saw this scene, and the resentment in her eyes deepened. It was not until Bi Shang beside her put his arm around her waist that her face changed back to her usual cold and stubborn look. Then she pretended to be angry and pulled his hand down.

"hiss--"

Bi Shang let out a low cry, his handsome face twisted in pain.

Tong Lulu immediately rushed over from behind and angrily accused Xu Miaoyi, "Don't you know that Brother Bi Shang is injured, you damn woman? I knew you didn't really love Brother Bi Shang, and you even scratched the wound on Brother Bi Shang's arm..."

As she spoke, she pulled Bi Shang's arm over and untied the white gauze wrapped around his arm, revealing the bloody hole inside.

Fang Tianling and Li Huaijue stretched their necks to take a look, with strange expressions on their faces.
