Zhou Zhuangzhuang, mimicking his father, shouted, "Pay up!"

"I have no money, but you can take my life. Take your mother's old life, you heartless wretch!" The old woman craned her neck and leaned close to him.

How could Zhou Youfu, his own mother, dare to move? He retreated repeatedly, crying out, "Mother, how can you be so unreasonable? Why would I want to kill you?"

"So you want me to apologize? You're asking for my life?" The old woman pointed to the dilapidated house behind her. "Look at yourself! This house is so run-down and dilapidated, it doesn't even have a yard. How can I compensate you?"

Zhou Youfu's eyes darted around.

He wouldn't even take this dilapidated house if it were given to him for free; he's here today to ask for the ginseng and lingzhi!

He chuckled, hooked his arm around the old lady's, and whispered, "Mother, I heard that the eldest son found ginseng and lingzhi on the mountain. I am your only son, so you must think more about your son and share some with me."

So that's what they were planning.

The old lady flung her arm away, "What nonsense are you talking about? We didn't find anything like that in our house, don't talk nonsense."

That old hag, she still wants to fool him!

Zhou Youfu smiled obsequiously, "Oh, Mother, don't hide it from me anymore. Rongrong has already told me everything. I don't need much from you, just give me the ginseng."

It turns out it was Rongrong who said it. The whole village probably knows now. That gossipy girl!

The old woman retorted angrily, "That's not true!"

"Mom, stop lying to me!" Zhou Youfu had lost his patience and pushed his way in, sleeves rolled up. "I just want one ginseng root, I don't want any more, what's wrong with giving it to me!"

"Zhou Youfu, are you trying to rebel?"

He impatiently pushed the old lady down, saying, "You're so long-winded, don't meddle in other people's business at your age!"

The old woman lay on the ground, clutching her back, crying out, "Ouch..."

"Mother!" Madam Qin hurriedly went to help the old lady.

Taking advantage of the lull, Zhou Youfu seized the opportunity to go inside, calling out to his son, "Zhuangzhuang, hurry up and find ginseng!"

"Don't come in!" Zhou Erqian shouted angrily, blocking the doorway. "We don't have any ginseng, so you're not allowed in our house!"

"Wu Guoguo, hurry up and grab that fat guy!" Long Sisi waved her little fist and pointed at Zhou Zhuangzhuang, who was running towards the kitchen.

Xie Yan walked quickly, stretched out his long arm and grabbed Zhou Zhuangzhuang's collar, then shoved him hard, sending him crashing to the ground, where he wailed loudly.

When Zhou Youfu saw that someone was blocking his way and that his son was being bullied, he became furious, grabbed Zhou Erqian by the neck, and threw him out.

"You little brat, you dare block my way? Get out of my way!"

When Erguoguo was thrown to the ground, Sisi couldn't stand it anymore. She clenched her little fists, her eyes filled with anger.

As soon as the dragon cub got angry, the sky seemed to sense it, and suddenly layers of dark clouds gathered, with electric currents surging within them.

Zhou Youfu froze, a chill running down his spine.

What happened?

Seeing this, Qin pointed at him and cursed, "Ha, you dare to come into our house and steal our things, God will strike you down! God is standing up for us, you'd better wait to die!"

"Let you go..."

Boom!

Before Zhou Youfu could finish his cursing, a bolt of lightning struck right in front of him. He fearfully hid inside the house, but another bolt struck behind him, burning a large hole in his pants.

Zhou Zhuangzhuang yelled, "Dad, Dad, you've exposed your butt!"

Zhou Youfu hurriedly covered his buttocks. The black crater in front of him, caused by lightning, to make his legs go weak, and he collapsed to the ground, too afraid to move.

What happened?

Why is it thundering all of a sudden?

Why did they specifically strike him down? Could it be that God has finally seen through his scheme and knows he wants to steal something, and doesn't want him to do anything bad?

Zhou Youfu swallowed hard and tentatively reached his hand into the room.

Another loud bang.

The lightning struck down rapidly, sending dust flying all over his face.

It's true, God has opened his eyes!

Thunder rumbled in the sky. Zhou Youfu screamed in terror and scrambled out, shouting as he ran.

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I won't steal anymore! I'll never do it again! I'll never do it again!"

Zhou Zhuangzhuang followed behind, crying and wailing, "Dad, wait for Zhuangzhuang, Zhuangzhuang is scared, boohoo."

Hmph, you're lucky you ran fast!

Long Sisi snorted, the anger in her eyes dissipated, and the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, restoring the clear sky.

She didn't see that from the moment the dark clouds appeared until they dispersed, Xie Yan's gaze remained fixed on her, and he took in all her emotions.

When the little guy gets angry, the sky becomes overcast with dark clouds, lightning flashes and thunder roars; when his anger dissipates, the dark clouds and thunder also dissipate.

What are the odds of such a coincidence in this world?

The little guy, unaware of what he was thinking, was happy to have chased away the bad guys and was babbling in his babyish voice, wanting to go downstairs.

"Wu Guoguo, quickly put Sisi down!"

Xie Yan placed her on the ground.

The little guy ran up to the old lady in a flash.

Xie Yan looked at her and couldn't help but think, "This little one's legs are as short as radishes, yet she runs quite fast."

"Grandma, Grandma, Sisi chased the bad guy away!"

The little one waved his chubby little hands and rubbed the old lady's back, saying, "Sisi is rubbing Grandma's back."

The old lady who had been rubbing her was no longer angry. She smiled and hugged her, but she didn't take Sisi's words about chasing away the bad guys seriously.

"Oh my, my sweet baby is so good to Grandma."

Sisi grinned, showing off her white teeth.

Mrs. Qin was happy that her daughter was sensible, but she was also angry. "The second son is really something. He has taken over all the land in the house, and now he wants to take our things!"

Thinking that it was Rongrong who had been too talkative, Madam Qin became even angrier.

"And that Zhuang Rongrong, I've never seen her so talkative before. She picked up the ginseng herself, why didn't she tell everyone? And she even ate the goose, what a waste of my goose!"

The old lady nodded. "I never saw her gossiping outside before, but our family was poor back then. We would break a single bean in half to eat, so she didn't have much to say."

Hearing the two mention Rongrong, Zhou Erqian became displeased. "What's wrong with Rongrong? She's probably just curious because she's never seen such big ginseng and lingzhi before. How can you say she's making a fuss?"

Qin rolled her eyes. As his mother, she knew exactly what this brat was up to.

However, she really disliked Zhuang Rongrong. If Erqian wanted to marry her when he grew up, he would have to get past her first hurdle.

"No matter what, you can't talk about other people's business to outsiders. It's rude, you know?"

Zhou Erqian said angrily, "Rongrong is not an ill-mannered person, Mother. You are just prejudiced against her. Rongrong is about the same age as that brat, but she is a hundred times better than her. You don't like Rongrong, so you are biased!"

"You brat, I'll hit you, you believe me?" Qin made a gesture to take off her shoes, but the old lady grabbed her.

"Alright, why bother with a brainless idiot like him?"

Zhou Erqian: Is he brainless? ???

He tried to argue, but the old lady glared at him and shut him up.

The old lady sat in the yard with Sisi in her arms, wondering to herself, "If our Sisi hadn't been so silly from the start, she would definitely be much smarter than that girl Rongrong, right?"
