In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
Patriarch Kong raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Zhou, what kind of mess is in your ring?"
Zhou Xiang disagreed. "What do you mean by a mess? These are all practical things. I don't have to look for them when I need them."
The old master of the Kong family inexplicably felt that it made sense, so he stopped talking nonsense and sat cross-legged on the mattress.
"Yan'er, come on!"
Only then did Zhou Niao let go of the son she had been holding.
Zhou Xiang dragged his eldest brother to the door of the study and said, "You guard this door, and I'll guard my bedroom door. Don't let the children run in from the bathroom."
"Um!"
Zhou Xiang glanced at his elder brother. Ever since Yan'er was lost and then found, his elder brother's condition had been a little off. He wanted to finish the Kong family's affairs first!
Ling Ran found the glass shop and asked the owner to cut the glass according to his measurements. Then he looked at Kong Qianchen and said, "Pay!"
Kong Qianchen took out his wallet and asked, "How much?"
"Eighty." The owner replied.
"How much?" Kong Qianchen paused and his voice was a little high.
"Eighty, eighty, if you think it's too expensive, I can..." give you a ten-dollar discount.
"puff"
The shop owner's words were interrupted by Ling Ran's laughter, "Kong Qianchen, are you planning to use 80 yuan to compensate Big Brother for his window?"
Kong Qianchen took out a hundred-yuan bill and placed it on the scratched glass case. "No need for change."
Ling Ran continued to sneer, "Are you planning to add 20 yuan? Is the problem solved by 100 yuan? You don't want to be the head of the family anymore. You've become stingy."
Kong Qianchen put away his wallet and said, "We need to discuss this matter further."
The two men carried the glass back to Zhou's house. Patriarch Kong had already finished leading Zhou Yan in practicing the exercises, leaving Zhou Yan to meditate on his own.
Seeing that her elder brother was looking at her nephew with disapproval, Zhou Xiang quietly called Lu Jing to guard the door of her bedroom. She still had to discuss the remaining matters with the old master Kong.
Back in the living room, Zhou Xiang handed the ring and thumb ring that Ling Ran had snatched from the new patriarch's hand to Patriarch Kong.
"This was taken from your uncle's hand. I'm returning it to you. Go back and reorganize your clan and quickly arrange for the clan members to cleanse their inner strength. I'll return one lamp for each one cleaned. As for whether or not to remove the soul from the lamp, that's your business.
Yan'er begged for mercy, so the original price has been halved. One hundred million is the price of two lamps. You should hand over the quantity to the higher-ups, and I will calculate according to the quantity given by the higher-ups."
"Good!" Patriarch Kong accepted the ring and thumb ring. "Thank you, Miss Zhou. Not only did you solve our lifespan problem, you also saved our family from this internal strife. Thank you very much."
Looking at the smile that could not be concealed on the face of the old master Kong, Zhou wanted to punch him to death. Was he happy that he had taken the initiative to give them the opportunity? He waved his hand,
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. If we can't solve the problem, it will be embarrassing. A cultivator is actually worse than an ordinary person like me."
“Are you an ordinary, common man?”
"I am." Zhou Xiang nodded very affirmatively.
Patriarch Kong waved to his youngest son who had returned to the living room, "This is what Miss Zhou found. Let's go back quickly and give this to Kong Keyan first."
Kong Qianchen took the ring and the thumb ring and bowed deeply to Zhou Xiang. Zhou Xiang accepted it calmly. On the coffee table in front of him, several small medicine bottles appeared.
"The pills are the detoxification pills you've used before, and the liquid is the essence-nourishing liquid, used to aid cultivation. Yan'er said it can increase lifespan. You two should give it a try. It's free this time, but you'll have to pay a lot for it later.
This matter must be kept secret. I don't have much Peiyuan Fluid. If it weren't for Yan'er wanting his cousin to live a few more years and take good care of the Kong family, I wouldn't be willing to give away this priceless treasure! It's not even enough for Yan'er."
Peiyuan Liquid? The Kong family father and son opened their eyes wide. This was something the family had never been able to refine in the past two thousand years! Miss Zhou actually had it in her hands.
"Miss Zhou, we will definitely keep this matter confidential, and we will definitely protect this medicine."
As soon as Kong Qianchen finished speaking, the small medicine bottle on the coffee table disappeared.
Zhou Xiang nodded, and a few more paper bags appeared on the coffee table. "This is the antidote to the sterilization powder. You can use it as you please. Goodbye, both of you!"
Kong Qianchen put away the paper bag. Since the order to expel them had been issued, they did not stay any longer as they still had matters to deal with within the family. As for their uncle (great-uncle), they were so busy that they had forgotten about it.
Zhou wanted to go back to the study to see his nephew first. Seeing that he was still meditating, he waved to Lu Jing, signaling her to leave.
After Lu Jing left, Zhou Xiang pulled his eldest brother and walked to his nephew, "I'll take you inside. It's safe there."
Zhou Niao nodded immediately, "Okay!"
Zhou Xiang took one person in each hand and put them into the thatched hut in the space, and used his mental power to contact Yan'er's mother. Well, without the surname Kong, he didn't want to call her by her name, so he just called her Yan'er's mother!
Then he picked up the mattress and bed board on the floor and went to his eldest brother's room to see if Ling Ran had fastened the glass into the aluminum frame.
Seeing his wife come in, Ling Ran kept working, "Where's Yan'er?"
"Let's go in together with my brother." Zhou Xiang said, and went to help hold the glass.
"No, I can do it myself. Be careful not to cut your hands."
"How can it be so precious?" Zhou Xiang didn't listen and put his hands on the glass. "Hurry up and buckle it!"
Fasten the glass, apply glass glue, and stand it in place to dry.
Looking at the restored security window, Zhou Xiang nodded, "You're using people in a very reasonable way."
No need to guess, everyone knows that it was the steel pipe that Kong Qianchen straightened.
"That's all he's good for. Two pieces of glass cost him a hundred yuan. And he's a young man who's never experienced the hardships of life. He gave the glass shop owner a 20 yuan tip, making him so happy he couldn't stop smiling."
"Don't insult him anymore. This father and son will be your and Big Brother's servants from now on. Why are you still fighting with him?"
"You don't know, I was planning to take his main medicine. Now, he's actually closer to Big Brother. I must have taken the wrong medicine."
"Have you ever tried it?"
Ling Ran shook his head, "I haven't tried it. I think it's better to have flesh and blood. I won't use the medicinal effects unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Where's Big Brother? Did you tell him?"
"I have explained it, and my eldest brother agrees."
"That's it. As long as we have it in our hands, it'll be fine. I even used the Essence-Nourishing Fluid to fish! If they want to practice, they have to buy my Essence-Nourishing Fluid. They will definitely be obedient."
"Original solution?"
"One-half. I can't bear to give the original solution. The person inside used two large bottles of my original solution. I feel so sad."
"Then tell her to plant more herbs for the nourishing liquid."
"Yes! Plant more of the herbs used in this medicine in the future."
The two of them sat in this room and chatted, and Zhou Xiang also had to pay attention to the dynamics in the space.
As soon as he entered the space, Zhou Niao relaxed his mind and stopped staring at his son. Instead, he looked at the woman beside him.
"Are you okay?"
After listening to his son's description of the danger at that time, he couldn't help but hate his own incompetence even more.
Xianxian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm fine!"
This smile made Zhou Niao almost lose his mind. He murmured, "Xianxian."
This is the name he longs to call out in his dreams.
