Qin glanced at the old lady, thinking it was better for the old lady to make the decision on such matters.

In previous years, when there was less grain, we would save it for ourselves. This year, there is more grain, so we should sell some of it. After thinking it over, the old lady nodded and said, "I think it's fine, as long as it's reliable."

The village chief laughed, "Of course it's reliable, you can rest assured."

Having received her confirmation, the village chief consulted the other villagers, and after they agreed, the village chief set off for the town to discuss the sale of the new grain.

The boss immediately agreed, and the village chief hurriedly informed everyone of the good news.

Long Sisi, however, sensed an unusual atmosphere in the air.

She sat in the yard, staring blankly as Little White and Grandpa Turtle in the tank played together.

What exactly is wrong?

"Once this wheat is harvested, we'll give half to Dawei, keep half for ourselves, and sell the rest. We'll split the profits equally," Qin muttered to the old lady as she picked vegetables.

The old lady nodded. "What do you think of Cui Cui?"

"She's great. She's smart and hardworking. Didn't you see this morning? Before any of the rest of the family got up, she was already up. She not only made breakfast, but also cleaned the house. It's spotless."

"Dawei has actually turned misfortune into blessing. Did you hear that the Zhang family and the Li family had a fight today over the betrothal gifts? They said the Li family cheated them and that the gifts were all borrowed. I think the Zhang family is going to regret it to death."

At this point, the old lady couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Serves her right for being greedy!"

—Princess, princess, what's wrong?

Xiao Bai looked at the little guy with a puzzled expression. Why did the princess suddenly become so listless?

Sisi idly tapped her fingers. "Xiaobai, I feel like something's not right, but I don't know what's wrong. It's so strange."

Xiao Bai: I think you're all alone. Come on, Xiao Bai will play with you. Let's play hide-and-seek. You hide, and I'll find you. I promise I won't peek.

The little guy pouted, "No, you always peek."

At this moment, Zhou Dawei and Xu Cuicui returned from Xu's parents' home.

Xu Cuicui's eyes were terribly red, and she knelt down in front of Sisi as soon as she entered the courtyard.

Qin was terrified. "My son, what's wrong?"

"Sisi, I'm begging you, can you...?"

Xu Cuicui's voice became increasingly choked with sobs. She didn't know if speaking out would put Sisi in a difficult position. Sisi was just a child, but now there was no other way.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me?" Sisi asked, puzzled.

Qin Shi pulled her along with heartache, "Son, tell me, don't just cry."

"My father is dying, Sisi, can you please save him? I'm begging you."

As early as last night, when the young couple were sleeping in the same bed, Zhou Dawei told her about most of the things that had happened at home, including Sisi's rescue of someone from the Zhao family.

She felt that this was the only way to save her father.

Sisi reached out her chubby little hand to wipe away her tears, "Don't cry, sister-in-law, Sisi promises you."

Xu Cuicui looked up, her eyes blurry with tears, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Sisi said she would save people, and she will. Alright, saving people is the priority. Let's go to the Xu family now."

Qin picked up Sisi in her arms.

The group hurriedly made their way to the Xu family's house.

I had only gone halfway when a child came running up to me in a hurry.

"Sister Cui Cui, your father has passed away!"

"What?" Xu Cuicui couldn't catch her breath and fainted.

Zhou Dawei hugged her and asked anxiously, "Child, what happened? Her father was perfectly fine when we left!"

Even children can't explain it clearly.

The group could only hurry to the Xu family's house.

The gate to the Xu family's courtyard was open. All the things the couple had brought today were gone. Xu's father lay there with a sallow complexion and scratches on the back of his hands.

Qin slapped her thigh, "Oh my goodness! Isn't this blatant robbery? Which bastard is so audacious as to steal people's things in broad daylight!"

Zhou Dawei said with a stern face, "I'm going to find the village chief. This matter can't be left like this."

"What a terrible thing!"

She sighed and groaned to the side, while Long Sisi locked eyes with the two ghosts in the room.

Xiao Bai whispered: Princess, these two wouldn't dare offend you, so they certainly wouldn't steal the old man's soul, right?

The Black and White Impermanence lay on the ground, wailing, "Princess, please let us go this time! Last time, King Yama fried us in hot oil, and my skin is all wrinkled now."

The two ghosts eagerly lifted their clothes and came closer.

"It's covered in blisters, so pitiful."

Sisi sighed, and Xiaobai scratched her head with his mouth and said: Princess, don't be fooled. They are dead anyway, so it's no big deal to boil them in hot oil.

The Black and White Impermanence looked up to curse, but as soon as they did, their bodies trembled in unison. Damn it, they couldn't afford to mess with these guys either.

The two ghosts, with snot and tears streaming down their faces, cried, "Princess, this time it's really not going to work. Grandpa Yama said that if something like this happens again, he'll send us to sweep the eighteenth level of hell. Waaah!"

Xiao Bai retorted: "Just sweep it, it's just sweeping the floor. Why are you crying like that? You're supposed to be the Black and White Impermanence, it's shameful!"

Black and White Impermanence, "..."

They dared not speak.

Sisi wasn't an unreasonable person. "Otherwise, what do you call the King of Hell? I'll tell him."

"We wouldn't dare!" they both said in unison.

After a long pause, Bai Wuchang suddenly chuckled, "Why don't you give us something? We can take it to see King Yama, and maybe he'll believe us and not punish us."

"Yes, yes, you can give us a receipt, like a peach or something..."

The Queen Mother of the West doted on this dragon princess, and perhaps gave her many peaches of immortality, which they had never tasted before.

If I could eat this once, it would be worth sweeping through the eighteen levels of hell a hundred times.

Xiao Bai was furious: "You two damn liars are trying to cheat me out of the peaches, aren't you?"

The heads of the Black and White Impermanence shook like a rattle-drum.

"Here." Sisi pulled out a peach. "I only have peaches, no flat peaches. Do you want one?"

The two ghosts' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Good heavens, these are peaches of immortality!

The Black and White Impermanence exchanged a glance and rushed over to grab it, resulting in a fierce fight and shouting match.

"Gossipy woman, give me back the peaches! I clearly grabbed them first."

"What a load of bull! What I get is mine!"

Qin shivered involuntarily and muttered, "Strange, why is it so cold all of a sudden?"

Sisi frowned, completely baffled by the two of them. It was just a peach, why were they fighting?

"Stop hitting me, I have more here."

She took out another one, and Black Impermanence hurriedly snatched it away, saying, "Thank you, Princess, thank you so much, Princess."

Little White swaggered around chasing away the ghost: "You've taken the stuff, aren't you going to leave now? Want to get beaten up?"

The two ghosts immediately left the room.

Sisi's golden eyes flashed, and the soul that was floating in mid-air automatically returned to the old man's body.

At the same time, the village chief arrived, along with other villagers who had come to watch the excitement.

"Villagers, has anyone seen what the thief looks like? Dawei said that whoever sees him will get ten taels of silver as a reward once he is caught!"
