Chapter 190 Bo Qiaohui 2

At the dinner table, Bo's father said with some worry, "The city has been getting increasingly unstable lately. I think we should stay home for a few days and see how the situation develops."

The fourth son, Bo Chen, disagreed: "When has the city ever been peaceful recently? Now the Lü clan is in power. I heard that two days ago, the daughter of the Lü family forced the King of Zhao to death. Sooner or later, the two families will fight."

"You kid, you didn't even tell the family about this big thing?" Bo's father moved his hands, but then thought of his fourth son's thick skin and tough muscles. He slammed the table and said, "Big Boss, after dinner, practice with him. Don't stop until you tire him out."

Bo Qi immediately became depressed. From childhood to adulthood, he had been completely dominated by his younger sister in literature and suppressed by his older brother in martial arts. His father knew that his older brother was a monster, and a straightforward monster at that. He would be surprised if he didn't skin him alive if he got the order.

"When did Fourth Brother know this news?"

Qiaohui finished her meal leisurely and nudged her fourth brother beside her. She only heard the boy weakly reply, "Ah... four or five days ago, right? I met a retainer from Prince Zhao's mansion. He happened to be an acquaintance, and I pried the news out of him."

"Your acquaintance is truly unlucky. You've even found out about this kind of beheading news." The third brother, Bo Xiang, was speechless. "Hasn't he severed his ties with you yet?"

"Hey—not only did he not break off our friendship, he even said he'd repay me in the future." Bo Chen couldn't help but feel proud when he said this. "A few days ago, I helped him set up some connections, and now he's become a guest at Lord Zhou's house."

"...You still have this ability?"

"I have a friend whose legitimate sister is Mr. Zhou's favorite concubine."

"Fourth brother, you will achieve great things in the future."

Bo Qiaohui couldn't help but admire her fourth brother's ability to make friends. The key point was that the friends he made were really worth it.

"Little sister is little sister. You are the best taster in our family." Bo Qin showed off for a while, then became energetic again, and rubbed little sister's smooth long hair.

Bo's father hit his son with a chopstick, but when he saw his son nimbly avoid it, he just rolled his eyes and said, "Of course your sister has good taste. She's nothing like you, who only cares about irritating your father all day long."

Bo Qiaohui brought the topic back in time: "Now that we have the news, let's close the shop first. I've been staying at home these days, and I think the world is about to fall into chaos."

"Then after we visit your mother's grave today, the eldest and fourth sons will go to the city together tomorrow and close our shop first."

"I know, Dad."

None of the five men in the family questioned Bo Qiaohui's decision, simply because after five years of living with her, they all regarded their sister/daughter as the reincarnation of a deity.

The story begins when she was just born. At that time, Bo's father was delighted to have a girl. Not only would he have less food to eat in the future, but he could also marry the child off to a boy in the family when she grew up.

Not for anything else, just because of one word: poor.

They were so poor that winter that their mother, who had given birth to a child alive, died of a cold. They were so poor that out of dozens of children, only five survived, and the number would have been even lower. If Qiaohui hadn't gradually grown out of her childish state after turning three, the system would have finally followed the rules and allowed her to freely use the spiritual spring.

Her four older brothers probably didn't survive to adulthood.

But all this changed after Bo Qiaohui was born.

At first, she was just smarter, prettier and healthier than others. Later, on her third birthday, the girl asked her fourth brother to move her sick eldest brother to the mountains without telling her father.

Bo's father still shudders when he recalls the scene of that day:

When he came back and saw that the three children were gone, he asked the second and third children and took them all the way up the mountain.

In his haste and anger, he failed to notice a slippery patch of moss and fell heavily.

When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by being licked by a white deer.

He struggled to get up, and for a moment he thought he was still in a dream.

Countless birds circled in the sky, dozens of species he could name. Monkeys and snakes mingled in the trees, and on the ground, there were even more: tigers, jackals, foxes, rabbits, wild boars, elk...

They surround something in circles, and the predators and prey here are like friendly neighbors, huddled together closely.

Mr. Bo turned around and saw that his two sons were actually reaching out to grab the tiger's hair. Before he could faint from the shock of this scene, he heard the clear voice of his youngest daughter:

"Dad, second brother, third brother, why are you here?"

He turned his head suddenly and saw a small figure stepping on the tiger's head and climbing up a huge rock with difficulty.

"Come here quickly, come here, you too can take a dip in the spiritual spring."

Yes, that was the spiritual spring. It was an opportunity bestowed upon their family by God.

And the daughter who knows how the spiritual spring appeared is naturally a fairy who came down from heaven.

Since then, with the help of their youngest daughter, their family accumulated a lot of wealth and moved to Chang'an.

Now, she has opened three shops with Qiaohui's recipes, and her children all have their own strengths, so her life is getting better and better.

The problem was that there were more men in the family. In the past, the family lived and ate in the shop, so it wasn't a problem for Qiaohui to live with the shop's female manager. But now that the children were older, it felt a bit awkward for them to move back home.

"Well... come to think of it, the eldest brother is fifteen this year, it's time for us to meet each other."

"Dad is going to find a wife for my eldest brother?" The fourth brother's eyes lit up. "We need to find a professional to look for someone who is suitable for my eldest brother in terms of both personality and appearance."

Bo Chen is a typical fun-loving person. It is obvious that he can never beat his honest elder brother. However, he only cares about food and not about punishment, and always misses the opportunity to laugh at his brother.

Unfortunately, Bo Ren was born with a weak constitution. He simply finished the rice in his bowl and put down his chopsticks. "I'll listen to Daddy. As long as you have a good temper, that's all."

Then he turned to look at his fourth brother and said, "Eat quickly. After we finish eating, let's go out and practice."

Bo Qin's face turned pale: "You are deliberately seeking revenge."

Bo Ren was confused: "Huh?"

The second brother, Bo Gu, sighed, shook his head, and said, "This is what they call the devil is one foot taller, but the Tao is ten feet taller. Fourth brother, you should just give up the resistance."

"snort."

Bo Chen wrinkled his nose, put down his bowl, and said ambitiously, "Just practice. How could I, Bo Chen, be afraid?"

Before anyone could applaud him, the boy dove for the door. As if anticipating this, Bo Ren stretched out his long arm and grabbed his arm tightly. He even smiled and praised him sincerely, "Little brother, your skills have improved again. If you're five more breaths faster, I'll trip you up."

Bo Chen: ...

Bo Chen struggled to break free from his elder brother's hand... Bo Chen failed to break free from his elder brother's hand and was dragged to the yard obediently.
