After this incident, the villagers all said that Chi Tang was a lucky child.

What?

You're saying it's just a coincidence?

How could it be a coincidence that there are two kinds of grass?

I heard that Tie Dan wanted to sell the dog milk grass to Meng Chenyi, but Meng Chenyi didn't want it. Chi Tang, however, insisted on having it!

The more these stories are told, the more fantastical they become.

When it was time for lunch, Old Man Chi and the others jogged back to ask.

"What happened? How's Tangtang?"

"Mom, Grandma's causing trouble again? How can she be so shameless?"

Old Man Chi and Chi Dashan bumped into each other.

Old Man Chi glared at him: "How dare you talk like that?"

"How can you talk so shamelessly!"

Chi Dashan snorted and ignored his father as he hurried back to the house to check on his sister.

Inside the house, Little Fifth Brother was playing with Chi Tang and Si Lang and Wu Lang on the kang (a heated brick bed), and the little rascals were all laughing heartily.

An'an and Xiao Suotou quietly played by themselves on the side.

Only Xingxing stood against the wall, her eyes red, as punishment!

"What's wrong, son?" Chi Dashan asked.

Chi Shuxing replied, "My great-grandmother scolded my aunt, so I threw a stone at her. My mother punished me."

Just then, Old Man Chi came in and heard those words.

He immediately said, "Xingxing, you mustn't throw stones at your elders."

Chi Shuxing retorted indignantly, "Shouldn't elders scold people? Why did Great-Grandma scold Auntie?"

Old Man Chi: ...

"Grandpa is biased!"

"..."

This child...

"Fairness!" Little Lockhead shouted along.

Then a group of children joined in the shouting.

This made Old Man Chi feel a bit embarrassed, and in the end he could only apologize to the children.

"Tangtang, let your father take a look." Old Man Chi hurriedly went to hug his daughter.

Chi Tang giggled and hugged her fifth brother tightly, refusing to let her father hold her!

Hmph, that old lady Zhou, Father has to step in and deal with her!

"Tangtang?"

When Old Man Chi saw that his chubby daughter was no longer affectionate with him, his fragile heart shattered instantly.

Tangtang peeked her little head out from her fifth brother's arms and giggled.

She just clung to Brother Wu and wouldn't let go.

Chi Wuhu immediately said, "You're close to my grandma, but Tangtang won't be close to you!"

"ah!"

Chi Tang waved her little arms excitedly.

Little Fifth Brother is really smart.

"Tangtang! Daddy isn't biased. Tangtang, come and give Daddy a kiss, okay?"

not good!

Chi Tang shook her little head, ignoring Old Man Chi.

Old Man Chi was heartbroken!

Outside, Aunt Chi and Sister-in-law Chi had prepared lunch, set the table, and called the children to wash their hands and eat.

They also ignored Old Man Chi.

During the meal, Mr. Chi took the initiative to say a few words, but everyone ignored him, leaving Mr. Chi extremely embarrassed.

What kind of mess is this?!

He wasn't home at the time, so what does it have to do with him?

"ah!!!"

Chi Tang reached out and desperately tried to reach for the table.

I really want to eat it!

They're all delicious!

“Sweetie, you can’t eat that,” Aunt Chi said.

But all Chi Tang could see on the table was rice! Scrambled eggs! Scrambled potatoes!

Wow!

She had no idea that such a simple dish could be so tempting!

Chi Tang's mouth was agape, and saliva was uncontrollably dripping down her throat...

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed when they saw how hungry Chi Tang looked.

Chi Tang was so angry that she arched her backside towards everyone!

After dinner, Aunt Chi discussed holding a full moon celebration for Chi Tang.

"I don't need to elaborate on the benefits that Tangtang has brought to our family, do I? I think we shouldn't treat this child too badly. Fortunately, the gift of gratitude that Mr. Meng sent included ten taels of silver, and those two bags of grain were obtained through legitimate channels."

"I'm thinking of returning those ten taels of silver to them as a token of their gratitude for saving An'an. These two bags of grain were earned by Tangtang herself. I hope no one will object to holding a full-moon celebration for her?"

The benefits that Tangtang brings to everyone are well known to the adults present.

Putting everything else aside, ever since Tangtang was born, there has never been a shortage of eggs in the house! And later, we even had millet!

Everyone thought it was God who gave Tangtang food.

Of course, Sister-in-law Chi was unaware of this.

"Grandma, I need to write an IOU!"

An'an suddenly shouted loudly.

An'an's personality is actually similar to Xingxing's, but An'an is more mischievous, less loyal, and less ruthless.

The four-year-old toddler was there, asking to write an IOU in his childish voice, and everyone laughed.

Chi Sanhe ruffled his son's hair and chuckled, scolding, "Do you even know what an IOU is? You're writing an IOU?"

"The Meng family saved me, so I should pay for their help, not my aunt! I want to write an IOU! I'll pay my aunt back when I grow up!"

"Oh my, our An'an is so thoughtful." Aunt Chi picked up her grandson and gave him a big kiss, then coaxed him before saying, "An'an, we're family, there's no need for an IOU. Family members should help each other."

"Then, when I grow up, I'll marry my aunt! I'll take good care of her."

An'an's eyes lit up, and she came up with another idea.

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chi Tang rolled her eyes.

"Idiot! That's your aunt, how can you marry your aunt?" Chi Shuxing slapped An'an on the head with his hands on his hips, looking disgusted.

How could he have such a stupid younger brother?

An'an was indignant, her face full of displeasure: "Then, then I'll protect Auntie when I grow up!"

“That’s called being filial, not protecting him! Do you understand? You’re his nephew!” Chi Shuxing lectured his simple-minded younger brother.
