Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

‘Grandfather, Mother, I’ll go help in the kitchen.’

Ji Zhao walked into the kitchen with a smile.

Tian Xiu’e, who was counting peanuts, frowned unhappily when she saw her.

“What are you doing in here? Get out!”

‘Tm here to see if you’re poisoning me!”

‘You wretched girl, what are you talking about?” Tian Xiu’e was shocked, and the expression on her face became even more flustered.

“I just said it casually. Why are you so nervous?” Ji Zhao said with a smile.

“Pfft! Which eye of yours saw that I was nervous?” Tian Xiu’e deliberately pulled a long face. “You’re not welcome here. Get out quickly!’ ‘Okay,” Ji Zhao replied obediently.

Seeing that she had really gone out, Tian Xiu’e felt even worse.

Did this sharp-tongued brat discover something?

However, she had done it so secretly that no one should discover it!

After Ji Zhao walked out of the kitchen, she did not leave immediately.

Instead, she walked around to the base of the kitchen wall and slowly squatted down.

Coincidentally, there was a large water tank that completely blocked her figure.

The dream she had last night was very disgusting.

In her dream, she saw a nauseating scene.

Now, she just had to patiently wait for that scene to happen.

On the other side.

After hearing Tian Guangsheng’s words, Zhao Lanhua frowned.

‘Sixty taels?”

‘That’s right.” Tian Guangsheng frowned worriedly. ‘Lanhua, you also know that your two younger brothers are not young anymore and should be getting married. All these years, I’ve saved some money, but the family that your eldest brother has taken a fancy to insisted on a betrothal gift of 30 taels. I think that our two sons should be equal, right?”

‘Also, you saw our house. The kitchen and the east wing have a corner of the roof broken. This house needs to be renovated.’

‘But 60 taels is really too much.’

‘Lanhua, I know you’re having a hard time, so I’m willing to write you an IOU and let your two younger brothers put their thumbprints on it together. What do you think?”

“Father, I can’t make this decision alone. I have to go back and discuss it with Dashan.’

‘That’s true. Then talk to Dashan nicely. Dashan is a kind and honest child. He will definitely agree.” Tian Guangsheng tapped his pipe and slowly said, ‘Lanhua, I’ve let you down all these years. Back then, I had no choice but to let you change your surname.”

‘All these years, whenever I think of this, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.’ The more Tian Guangsheng spoke, the sadder he became. “You probably still hate me in your heart, right?”

‘No.” Zhao Lanhua shook her head gently. “Father has been very good to me.” Back then, after the traveling Daoist priest prophesized Zhao Lanhua’s fate of jinxing her father and mother, the elders in the Tian family’s ancestral hall wished they could drown Zhao Lanhua in a pig cage. After all, in their eyes, girls’ lives were cheap. They could not keep a girl who jinxed their father and mother.

In the end, it was Tian Guangsheng who suggested that she change her surname and saved her life.

In Zhao Lanhua’s heart, her father had always protected her.

“I know sixty taels is a lot, but don’t worry. When your two younger brothers can increase their salary, we will definitely return the silver.

‘By the way, I heard that Shen Lei’s pastry shop is doing better and better?”

‘The years haven’t been good. Eldest Brother and his wife can only barely make ends meet.” Zhao Lanhua lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in her eyes and said softly, “Perhaps in two years, Second Brother will complete his apprenticeship and our family will be better.”

“It’s gonna get better.”

“It’s gonna get better.”

‘That’s right.” Zhao Lanhua smiled and asked carefully, “Aunt Ju said that you coughed very badly a few days ago. Are you feeling better now? Have you called a doctor?”

“It’s an old problem that has been going on for many years.” Tian Guangsheng waved his hand indifferently. “When the weather warms up, it will get better.”

Putting aside the topic of borrowing money, the father and daughter actually looked at each other in silence.

‘Shall I go to the kitchen to take a look?” Zhao Lanhua thought for a moment and stood up.

‘Let’s go together.’

At that moment, Ji Zhao, who was guarding under the wall outside the kitchen window, heard the sounds coming from the kitchen and covered her ears in disgust. Then, she tiptoed to the door and locked it!

In the kitchen, Tian Xiu’e was doing something indescribable with a same man. The sounds she made during this period were really nauseating.

‘Lanhua?”

‘Mother!”

Shen Dashan led the Eldest Brother Shen and Shen Yao into the Tian family’s house.

‘Dashan, why are you here?”

“I heard from Uncle Ju that the Tian Family Village has been a little unsafe recently. Wild boars and weasels often appear. We’re worried about you.” Shen Dashan hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Lanhua. “Did the wild boars rush to the door?”

‘Wild boar?” Tian Guangsheng was also stunned. “I’ve never heard of wild boars recently?”

‘Son, what’s going on?” Shen Dashan subconsciously turned to look at Eldest Brother Shen, who had his head lowered.

Ah Tao told me!’

‘Ah Tao?”

Only then did Zhao Lanhua realize that Ah Tao was missing.

‘Mother!” Ji Zhao rushed to the front of the crowd. “There’s really a wild boar. I saw it just now. A big black wild boar rushed into the kitchen!”

“1’11 get the hoe!’

‘Shall I get the twine?”

‘No matter what, we have to capture this wild boar today!”

‘Wait?” Just as the other men were in high spirits, Shen Yao suddenly shouted, ‘Can a wild boar close the door on its own?

At this moment, Tian Xiu’e, who was having an affair in the corner of the kitchen, felt that her heart was about to jump out.

‘You restless brat. Didn’t you say you would come and find me before your father left home?

‘Auntie Xiu’e, I miss you!”

The man lying in Tian Xiu’e’s arms smiled wretchedly. “Auntie Xiu’e, are you afraid?”

“I’ve lived for so long. Who am I afraid of?”

Tian Xiu’e kicked away the man lying on top of her and quickly buttoned her long coat. Then, she gathered her hair and rushed to the door to open it.

‘What are you arguing about?”

Tian Xiu’e spat in displeasure. “I’m cooking right now. Why are you guys babbling on and on?”

‘Shen Yao, Grandmother is so fierce…” Ji Zhao hid behind Shen Yao with an aggrieved expression and said pitifully, “But I really saw the wild boar rush into the kitchen!”

‘Get lost!” Tian Xiu’e put her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes at Ji Zhao.

‘Shen Yao, look! Is there a wild boar by the window?!”

As soon as Ji Zhao finished speaking, everyone heard a painful howl!

‘Cousin Tian Qing?” Zhao Lanhua recognized the black figure at a glance and asked curiously, “Why are you in my family’s kitchen?”

‘Hiss…” Tian Qing was about to speak when he felt a dull pain in his behind!
