The meal was so delicious that the plates and bowls were completely empty. Yuan Zhuan truly experienced what it meant for a half-grown boy to eat his father out of house and home.

Liu Da, that chubby boy, ate three bowls of rice, and he also ate quite a bit of other dishes.

When Liu Ma remembered that there was still a little boy at home to eat, she came back empty-handed.

"Yuxiang, the child is at my eldest sister's house. She's free at home anyway, so I asked her to take care of him. She's bought all the formula and stuff, so the child won't go hungry. I..." Aunt Liu's loud voice came from outside the door, but before she could finish speaking, she saw her little chubby son carrying his round belly, looking very satisfied as he got off the table.

"Liu Da~!" The embarrassment turned into anger in an instant.

When his mother yelled, Liu Da almost took off running, but remembering that he hadn't done anything wrong today, he stopped himself. "Mom, Aunt Zhao's cooking is so delicious! The braised pork and braised fish are especially delicious, and the steamed eggs with scallions are amazing..." He hugged his mother's waist affectionately and started reciting the dishes.

Aunt Liu gritted her teeth, slapped the little fat boy's bottom, and thought fiercely, "You brat, I'll deal with you when we get back."

"Oh dear, Yuxiang, look, this is so embarrassing. My son probably ate a lot... Look at this big belly, he probably ate quite a lot... Wait a minute..." Her gaze fell on the dishes that hadn't been cleared away yet. Liu Ma felt she had never been so embarrassed in her life. She quickly slapped her son away and turned to stride towards the kitchen.

She just bought the lamb last night and hasn't had a chance to eat it yet, so it's perfect.

That brat, he's really embarrassed me, so incredibly embarrassed...

"Sister Liu, don't worry about it. The child won't eat much. Xiaoda likes my cooking, I'm just happy..."

Zhao Yuxiang genuinely didn't think anything of it. They had only lived there for a few days and hadn't known each other for long, but Liu Ma was truly a wonderful person—kind-hearted, honest, and reliable. Liu Ma had even shown her around the neighborhood. Furniture and household items were a hassle and expensive to acquire, so Zhao Yuxiang had initially planned to buy them little by little. However, Liu Ma worried that she wouldn't have anything useful and was short on money, so she brought out the best items from her storage room for her to use. Yet, Liu Ma wouldn't even eat a single meal from them. Even something as precious as the refrigerator was given to her to use freely. Zhao Yuxiang noticed all of this. Therefore, she genuinely didn't find it troublesome for Liu Da to eat, nor did she feel bad about it.

After Yuan Zhuan finished tidying up the kitchen, he came out and saw two mothers at the kitchen door, carrying a bag of something and pushing it back and forth, making quite a scene.

As for the two younger ones, they've long since disappeared; Yuan Zhu probably had Liu Da take them away again.

Yuan Zhuan went back into the house, took two peace charms, put them in his pocket, and then went out.

Since Aunt Zhao is going to set up a stall, let's go to the vegetable market and take a look.

Although it's called a vegetable market, it's actually just a small market organized by the local government. It covers an area of ​​about two acres and is divided into more than ten rows of small cubicles, each stall being six or seven square meters. If someone wants to do business, they go to the management office at the entrance, pay a fee, and get a license plate.

This area has over 10,000 residents, and most of them buy their groceries here. The foot traffic is indeed higher than at the shop location she chose. However, most of the shoppers are only buying vegetables; not many are buying ready-made food.

After Yuan Zhuan finished browsing the entire market, he had a pretty good understanding of the details. The market was full of vegetable vendors, except for three breakfast stalls at the entrance and exit. The breakfast options were nothing more than steamed buns, mantou, soy milk, and fried dough sticks.

Her plan was to have Zhao Ma sell skewers and spicy hot pot.

Tsk... This makes the wet market really unsuitable; who would eat chili peppers so early in the morning?

We still need to think about what to sell.

Just as Yuan Zhuan reached the entrance of the vegetable market, she was attracted by a dark shadow. It wasn't that she was looking for trouble, but the soaring black aura seemed to be spreading outwards, which was about to become a malevolent force!

When mortals become evil, they lose their reason, and the slaughter they bring always results in rivers of blood.

Soon, Yuan Zhuan found his target.

The one who was being attacked was a man, thin and short, with a hunchback. The rough lines on his face were clearly visible in the sunlight. It should have been hot enough to take off one's shirt, but he was wearing a durable coarse cloth jacket, black trousers, and rain boots. He looked like he was about to burst into flames, but there was no sweat on his forehead.

Passersby might glance at him or be surprised, but no one would approach him to speak.

The scorching sunlight made it hard to open one's eyes. The man's droopy eyes were slightly narrowed as he stared straight ahead. It was just a very ordinary squinting action, but it had an inexplicable eeriness to it. He seemed to be searching for something.

After Yuan Zhuan caught up, he frowned and looked at the only two pockets on the man's coat, but he didn't see any strange bulges.

She needed to touch the man's hand to know where and when he was going to commit the crime, so she could react accordingly.

Yuan Zhuan has a secret, a secret that even the system doesn't know.

She had always known that her father could accurately predict major disasters, which angered Heaven and led to the extermination of her Yuan clan.

Precognition is a bloodline inheritance that only the patriarch of the Xuanyuan lineage possesses, and it can only awaken in male descendants. Once a person reaches the age of eighteen, the person in whom the ability of precognition awakens will become the future patriarch, and her father is the last male descendant of the Xuanyuan lineage.

She thought that after her line died out, the inheritance of foresight would be lost forever. Who would have thought that it would reappear, and in her hands, even though she was a woman.

Looking at the lines on his palm, Yuan Zhuan composed himself, picked up a bag of apples, and started running lightly. Pretending to be in a hurry, he accidentally rushed up and brushed past the man, his hand naturally touching the back of the man's right hand.

The man seemed startled, turned his head to look, and habitually bowed down to apologize in a hoarse voice. His eyes showed timidity, yet not quite timidity. Finally, he actually smiled at her.

As soon as he smiled, images of murder scenes flashed through Yuan Zhuan's mind, cruel and bloody. Even Yuan Zhuan was stunned and stood there, his pupils contracting violently several times.

"Young lady, are you alright?" A kind voice rang in her ears. "Old Qi has been a bit confused lately. He didn't mean to bump into you. If you're alright, just let it go." The kind old woman appeared before Yuan Zhuan, her cloudy eyes hiding worry. Clearly, she was worried that Yuan Zhuan would ask the man for compensation.

The old woman glanced at the ground. "Little girl, Grandma will pick it up for you. Don't blame Qi Laosan, okay?" She was a pitiful child who had lost all hope. She didn't want to cause any more trouble for her. She was worried that the child might do something drastic.
