Sisi's eyes immediately reddened, and she grabbed Xie Yan's clothes with her little hands, her face full of grievance.

"Wu Guoguo, what I said is true."

"I believe Sisi's words," Xie Yan said calmly.

Rather than believing the liar Zhuang Rongrong, it's better to believe this "demon".

At least she's simple-minded.

Zhou Erqian sneered, "Fifth brother, I think you've been fooled by this brat. She's spouting nonsense and framing people. Rongrong is kind-hearted and doesn't hold it against her. But if she did, she could definitely sue her for slander."

“Even false accusations require evidence. What evidence do you have to prove that Sisi’s words are wrong?”

Xie Yan's expression grew even colder. "Why don't you take that purse to the county government office and let them examine it to see if it's snake-attracting powder?"

If a child like him goes to the county government office to have this thing checked, he'll probably get beaten up and thrown out.

Zhou Erqian was speechless after being rebuked, glared fiercely at Long Sisi, and left.

Sensing her low spirits, Xie Yan patted her head and said, "It's alright, Fifth Brother believes in you."

Sisi pouted and buried her head in his arms.

Why doesn't my second brother like Sisi?

"Never mind him, Fifth Brother will take you to see what Mom is making. Sisi, are you hungry?"

Mentioning food, Sisi's stomach rumbled, her thoughts wandering as she patted her belly and said.

"Sisi's tummy is hungry."

After Qin finished marinating the meat, she had a lot of fur left over. She washed it clean and planned to sell it in town after breakfast. She also planned to sell the Ganoderma lucidum while she was at it. She would keep the ginseng for now, in case it came in handy later if she was short of money.

Thinking that her eldest son was working in town, Qin Shi, who hadn't seen him for a long time, became even more diligent in her work.

After tidying up, she turned around and asked, "Where's Erqian? Where did he go?"

"He probably went to find Zhuang Rongrong."

Xie Yan responded, and Qin Shi's lips pursed.

This child feels restless if he doesn't visit her for a day.

Qin ignored him and said, "Then, Fifth Brother, you come with me to town to sell furs later. If we get a good price, I'll buy each of you a new set of clothes."

Xie Yan wanted to go, but he was worried about this "demon". Just as he was hesitating, the little demon spoke up in a soft, sweet voice.

"Mommy, Mommy, Sisi wants to go to town to play too!"

Sisi had heard Grandpa Turtle talk about the mortal world a lot before. He said that there were many fun and delicious things in the mortal world, and it was much more lively than the sea.

When Qin thought that her eldest son didn't know that Sisi was better, she thought it would be a good opportunity to go and tell him the good news together, so she happily agreed.

Before leaving, Sisi suddenly noticed that everyone in the Zhou family had a thin black line around their face.

yeah?

Why is everyone having bad luck?

She looked puzzled, and when she raised her eyelashes, she saw a thin membrane-like barrier enveloping the Zhou family.

This barrier is continuously absorbing the fortune of everyone in the Zhou family, not even sparing hers.

Almost instantly, Sisi understood who had set up the barrier. This carp spirit had gone too far!

The little guy's face darkened, and anger flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, and the barrier shattered into ashes.

Silently, no one in the Zhou family noticed anything; they only felt their bodies suddenly become much lighter.

Qin moved her hands and feet, feeling so happy after receiving so many good things today that she felt light and refreshed.

"Mother is carrying these furs. Fifth brother, hold your sister's hand tightly. Let's go."

at the same time.

Zhuang Rongrong suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood onto the red cloth bag.

She turned around in a panic to check the person on the bed's reaction, but no one answered her calls. She couldn't help but burst into tears.

"mother--!"

Zhuang Rongrong had cried all her tears.

The doctor had just left when Mother's injuries became too severe; there was no hope of recovery.

She wanted to absorb the luck of everyone in the Zhou family to save her mother, but now she has been interrupted again.

Why? Why exactly?

I've never failed before!

The body on the bed slowly grew cold. Zhuang Rongrong sat there blankly, the hatred in her eyes growing deeper and her thoughts becoming clearer.

Ever since that fool stopped being a fool, her schemes have all failed. Today's incident must be related to her.

Zhou Sisi!

You dare to harm my mother, I will never let you get away with this!

"Rongrong, why did your house collapse?"

Zhou Erqian's voice could be heard from outside.

Thinking of something, Zhuang Rongrong's eyes darkened, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

There's a solution!

The eldest son of the Zhou family is named Zhou Dawei. He is strong, honest, and has great strength. He is nineteen years old this year and works in a blacksmith shop in town.

Qin planned to sell the furs first, then go to the pharmacy to sell Ganoderma lucidum, and then buy some things to visit Dawei.

At her street stall, Qin displayed all the furs and called out, "Fur for sale! Bear fur, wolf fur, tiger fur, we have them all, even fox fur!"

Her shouts didn't attract any customers; instead, passersby were drawn to Sisi's presence.

The little one was wearing a faded short jacket today, and her hair was tied up in two round buns that looked like dumplings, making her look even softer and cuter.

With her big, curious eyes looking around, she was being led by another boy. Although the boy wasn't as cute as her, he exuded a mature air despite his young age, and his eyes and brows held a coldness.

Pedestrians couldn't help but stop and sigh in admiration.

"Oh my, this little guy is so cute! Look at his chubby little face, he looks like a dough ball."

"Little one, does Auntie want to rub your little face?"

Long Sisi smiled, her voice even more adorable, "Will Auntie buy me a fur coat after touching Sisi's face?"

That smile melted everyone's heart; they didn't even care whether they needed it or not, and readily agreed.

"Okay, okay, my little darling, if you say you'll buy it, then I'll buy it."

Long Sisi obediently leaned her face closer, and the moment the man touched her, her soft heart melted. She immediately took out her purse to buy two items.

With Sisi around, Qin's hands were pounding with money, and the furs were quickly sold out. Some people were so attracted to Sisi that they started petting her without even asking the price.

Upon careful calculation, it turned out that the price was twenty taels more than the original price. Overjoyed, Madam Qin hugged Sisi and showered her with kisses.

"Oh my, Sisi is such a lucky charm. Otherwise, with Sisi around, we wouldn't have been able to sell them so quickly, and we might not have made so much money. Sisi is truly my lucky charm."

Sisi giggled as she was kissed, her little face flushed, making her more and more adorable.

Seeing that people were about to gather around again, Xie Yan said helplessly, "Mother, let's hurry to the pharmacy."

"Yes, yes, yes." Qin realized what was happening, picked up Sisi in her arms, and walked away laughing.

The lingzhi mushroom was too big, so in order not to attract attention, Qin wrapped it tightly with a handful of straw.

The shop assistant cautiously peeked out, but Qin scolded him, "Go away, stop looking around, and call your manager out."

The waiter pouted and hurriedly went to call the manager.

The pharmacy owner, Liu Qing, was talking to a noble lady when he heard the waiter's report and frowned.

"Tell them to wait a moment, I'll be there in a bit."

The noblewoman waved her hand, her face weary and desperate, "You go first, I'll rest for a bit."
