128 Getting Better and Better

“Mother…” Before Ji Zhao could speak, tears fell uncontrollably.

“Thank you, everyone…” Ji Zhao couldn’t help but sob.

“Silly child, don’t cry.” Zhao Lanhua quickly put down her chopsticks and comforted her gently. “Don’t worry. Now that you’re a member of the Shen family, no one can take you away!”

“Mm!” Ji Zhao nodded vigorously.

“Alright, don’t daze around. Let’s eat quickly. The food will taste bad when it gets cold.” Shen Dashan smiled and said. “Let’s eat first. After dinner, let’s have a good chat as a family.”

An hour later, the family sat on the bamboo bed in the courtyard.

Zhao Lanhua fanned herself as she asked, “Ah Tao, tell me about your past in the Ji family?”

“Mother, there’s nothing much to say.” Ji Zhao smiled gently. “That’s all in the past.”

When the Host was young, she had suffered too much.

That was why she developed a flawed personality.

“I think the days ahead will definitely get better and better.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly, her expression becoming even gentler.

“Yes, Ah Tao is right!” Shen Dashan immediately nodded in agreement. “Our days will definitely get better and better in the future. It would be even better if there are fewer and fewer mosquitoes in the courtyard now.”

Pfft—

Ji Zhao was amused.

“Ah Tao, I’ll go fishing tomorrow. You won’t stop me, right?” Shen Dashan saw her smile and returned a silly smile.

“I won’t.”

“All you think about is fishing! I don’t know what’s so interesting about fishing!” Zhao Lanhua complained angrily. Then, she turned to Ji Zhao and asked with a smile, “Ah Tao, when your father comes back from fishing tomorrow, can you cook two more dishes? Uncle Huzi helped us today. I think our family should treat Uncle Huzi to a meal tomorrow night. What do you think?”

“Yes, yes, yes. Lanhua, you’re so thoughtful!” Only then did Shen Dashan think of this. “If it weren’t for Uncle Huzi’s words today, I’m afraid those people from Pomegranate Village would have been nagging for half a day!”

“Ah Tao, your adoptive grandmother is really not a good person. And that cousin of yours is too much of a jerk. And that fat and crazy Madam Zheng, she’s not a good person either!” Second Sister-in-law Shen thought of the scene that happened this morning and felt angry. “If it weren’t for the child in my stomach, I really wanted to rush up, step on her, and pull her hair ruthlessly!”

Second Sister-in-law Shen gritted her teeth and said angrily!

“Second Sister-in-law, don’t worry.” Ji Zhao smiled and comforted her. “The heavens are good. These evil people will definitely get their retribution!”

“I’m just afraid that a scourge will live for a thousand years…” Second Sister-in-law Shen pouted and said.

“Alright, alright. It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the house and rest.” Zhao Lanhua was the first to leave the bamboo bed. She said with a smile, “Old man, let’s go back to the house to rest. Second daughter-in-law, you should go back to the house quickly. There are too many mosquitoes in the courtyard! Third son, don’t forget to place some mugwort leaf rolls in Ah Tao’s house later.”

“Got it, Mother.”

Ji Zhao, who was about to return to her room to rest, cast a curious look at Shen Yao. “Mugwort leaf roll? What’s that?”

“It can repel mosquitoes.” Shen Yao smiled and accompanied her back to the house.

Fifteen minutes later, Ji Zhao, who was squatting on the ground, looked at the leaf roll on the metal plate. Her eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. “So there’s already mosquito incense at this time?”
