Glutinous Ball shut its mouth resentfully. “Fine! Why are you so fierce!”

Su Li planted everything and said to Glutinous Ball, “Do you have anything more useful? Take it out and let me take a look.”

The medicinal powder that Glutinous Ball had given her last time was really too effective. If there were similar things, she would have more things to protect herself and would be more confident when she went out.

“Of course!” Glutinous Ball proudly took out everything. “These are all my treasures. You must have never seen them before.”

Su Li’s eyes lit up as she looked at the bottles in front of her. “Yes, yes, yes. I’ve never seen them before. Lend them to me to take a look. I’ll return them to you in two days.”

Return it? She would never return it in this lifetime!

Glutinous Ball protected everything. “That won’t do. These are all my treasures. I can’t give them to you.”

Su Li said regretfully, “Sigh, forget it then. I originally thought that our relationship had reached the point where we could share it with each other. It turns out that I was thinking too much. Forget it, forget it. Just treat it as my sincerity had been fed to dogs.”

With that, Su Li turned around and was about to leave.

Glutinous Ball pulled Su Li back. “Don’t go, don’t go. I’ll lend it to you, alright? But let’s make a deal. You have to return it to me in two days!”

The naive Glutinous Ball did not know what it meant to be evil. There was an 80% chance that the things it lent out would not come back.

Su Li gestured in her heart. She suppressed her smile and said, “Alright, I’ll definitely return it to you.”

Just like that, Su Li tricked Glutinous Ball’s treasures into her hands.

Glutinous Ball had eaten so many of her treasures. Even the Lingzhi that she had painstakingly found had been eaten by him. She wanted to ask him for some small things as compensation for her fragile heart.

After getting the item, Su Li stared at it again.

“Why are you looking at me like that? I’ve already given you everything.” When Glutinous Ball realized that Su Li was staring at it, it couldn’t help but rub its arms.

Su Li smiled and said, “What are you doing in the space every day?”

Glutinous Ball did not know why she asked that, so it answered honestly, “Eat, drink, sleep. There are no other playmates here. I’m so bored.”

Su Li snapped her fingers. “Since you’re so bored, I’ve helped you think of a good way to kill time. You can plant some flowers and plants in the interspace.

It’ll be pleasing to the eye and kill time at the same time. It’s simply killing two birds with one stone.”

She had to slowly tempt Glutinous Ball to become a hardworking little gardener. Otherwise, she would have to do everything in the future. With this labor force, it would be a waste not to order it around.

“I don’t have any flower seeds,” Glutinous Ball said.

Su Li did not upgrade the shop, and it could not use the thing that she had yet to obtain.

Su Li smiled brightly and said, “It’s alright, I have it!”

Wasn’t it easy to get flower seeds? She had bought a lot of them last time!

Glutinous Ball felt the excitement in Su Li’s words. It tilted its head and looked at Su Li, feeling that something was wrong.

Su Li continued to tempt it. “The flowers planted can also be used to make flower pancakes and tea. There are many uses. Don’t you want to try them?”

When the little glutton Glutinous Ball heard this, it could not help but swallow its saliva. What’s flower cakes?! It had never eaten that kind of thing before. Moreover, it could make tea to drink. It sounded very good.

“Alright, then give me some seeds. I’ll start planting flowers later.”

Su Li immediately placed the seeds in front of Glutinous Ball. “They’re all here. Hurry up and plant them!”

Glutinous Ball looked at the large pile of flower seeds and said in surprise, “So many?”

Su Li lied without thinking. “Not much, not much. You need many flowers to make flower cakes, so you have to plant more.”

“Then I’ll plant it now.”

Glutinous Ball, who had not been beaten up by society, did not doubt it at all. It took some seeds and ran far away.

Su Li smiled like a flower as she watched it run away. She turned around and went to the workroom to develop some perfume. Unknowingly, time passed really fast. She rubbed her sore shoulders and was about to stand up when she felt something by her feet.

Su Li looked down and realized that Glutinous Ball was sleeping beside her. It was still snoring. It must have been tired from planting flowers just now.

Although one didn’t have to physically plant things in the space, it was very tiring to use one’s mind. Over time, it was even more tiring than manual labor.

Su Li moved her feet to the side. Glutinous Ball seemed to have sensed it and moved along with her feet. In the end, it even rubbed against her shoes. This action was exactly the same as Riceball.

Su Li chuckled and squatted down to pat its head. “Alright, sleep obediently!”

She covered Glutinous Ball with a piece of clothing and then flashed out of the interspace.

When Su Li woke up, the sun had already entered the room.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu were reading in the courtyard. When they saw Su Li, they smiled and greeted her, “Mother, you’re up!”

Su Li asked, “Have you guys eaten?”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu said, “Yes, Father cooked it for us. He also cooked for you and left it in the pot.”

Zhou Yu was boiling lard in the kitchen. When she saw Su Li come in, she smiled and said, “Su Li, you’re so lucky. Your children are obedient and sensible, and your man even dotes on you. Look, he was afraid that you would be hungry if you woke up late, so he specially saved food for you.”

Su Li: “…” Their expectations towards good fortune were too low.

She lifted the lid of the pot. Inside the pot was a bowl of dumplings.

Su Li looked at the dumplings with mixed feelings. She did not expect He Yufeng to leave food for her. Although she could make it herself when she woke up, the feeling of others thinking for her was different.

When he saw what was in the pot, his eyes widened. “Boss, you have dumplings in your bowl and I’m only drinking coarse grain porridge!!”

Su Li glanced at him and said, “It’s not bad to have something to eat. You’re still picky.”

Yao Jun pursed his lips and said, “I’m not picky. The problem is that the treatment is too different! ”

Su Li picked up the dumplings and started eating. “Who asked you to be at the bottom of the food chain? If you create value, I’ll feed you dumplings every day in the future.”

Yao Jun moved a stool and sat beside Su Li. “Um, Boss, I see that there are quite a lot of dumplings. Why don’t you share some with me?”

Su Li did not even look at him. “Hurry up and get to work. Otherwise, there won’t be any coarse grain porridge tomorrow morning.”

Yao Jun sighed and said sadly, “Sigh, why is my life so bitter!”

After dinner, Su Li took out the chili from her space and prepared to make chili sauce.

The process of chopping chili was very annoying, so Su Li directly handed it to Yao Jun.

Yao Jun thought that it was a good job, but when he started, tears streamed down his face.

Su Li gave a few instructions and prepared to leave. She kept feeling that Zhao Peng’s death was not that simple. It would not have mattered if this matter did not involve her. Now that this matter was already related to her, it was better for her to investigate clearly so that there would not be endless trouble in the future.

Zhao Peng and the evidence that he had unintentionally mentioned yesterday might have something to do with his death..
