“What do you mean it’s not certain? If even family members can’t do it, let alone outsiders. But this is good, then the matter with the fourth son won’t be settled, and we adults won’t be blamed,” Zhou’s mother said with a sense of relief.

"I think you should contact the matchmaker as soon as possible. The matter of the fourth son can't be delayed. Also, you should pay more attention to Mingjiao. Don't let her go to the provincial capital with the eldest brother and the others. Wouldn't that just cause trouble for them for nothing?" Zhou's father had a headache when he thought about his youngest daughter.

Zhou's mother hesitated, "Why don't we just agree to Jiaojiao's suggestion?"

Mr. Zhou glared at him and said, "You're just spoiling your son. Think about it yourself, what can she do in the provincial capital?" He didn't want to say anything more and became increasingly suspicious that the old monk had been wrong.

“Jiaojiao is not young anymore. If there is a suitable match in the provincial capital, I think it would be good.” Zhou’s mother couldn’t help but feel happy at the thought of her daughter marrying into the provincial capital.

“I think you’re dreaming. Do you think people from the provincial capital are stupid? Coming all the way here to marry a country girl?” Mr. Zhou was quite rational.

"Isn't it because of my older brother and sister-in-law? They certainly won't just stand by and watch. They'll definitely lend a hand no matter what. Old man, don't you really want a son-in-law from the provincial capital? Besides, you know that because of her involvement with Zhao Zhiqing, do you think any decent family around here would marry our Jiaojiao?" Although Zhou's mother was unhappy with the gossip, she knew that her daughter didn't have a good reputation in the village.

Zhou's father pondered.

But considering my older brother's personality, I thought, "I'll discuss this with him first, and you should also sound out my sister-in-law's opinion. In the end, I'll have to trouble her to take care of this."

Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him, "How could I not know these things?"

The couple made a decision.

Shen Banxia had no idea that someone else was plotting against her. At this moment, looking at the little field mouse that appeared and hearing its cheerful "squeaks," and then looking at the white wolf following behind it, she would definitely have screamed if the little guy hadn't given her a heads-up.

"Hey little guy, didn't you say you'd get it done in fifteen days? And what are you planning to do with Big White after you took it away without a word?" If this little guy hadn't suddenly reappeared, Shen Banxia would have thought she was dreaming that she could understand field mice.

After all, she couldn't understand other animals at all.

"Hehe, there was a little accident along the way, but now I have a lot of good stuff, I'll take care of you guys from now on," his furry little face was full of smugness and lewdness.

Heaven knows how Shen Banxia managed to read the expression from that tiny face.

"Tell me, what treasures do you have in your collection?" Shen Banxia asked, quite curious.

"Didn't I tell you? My master used to work in the imperial kitchen. Think about it carefully, what is the imperial kitchen never lacking?" He then gave his own answer, "Hehe, of course, food and drink."

Shen Banxia gave a thumbs up.

The little field mouse became increasingly smug. "Hehe, now I'm not the kind of uncle who can't even look at a grain of millet flour anymore. From now on, I'm a rich mouse. Since you helped me open the treasure, I'll take care of all your food from now on," he said with an air of domineering arrogance.

Shen Banxia could even see the domineering CEO aura in it.

"Thank you very much, but please explain to me clearly what's going on with Da Bai?" Shen Banxia asked directly.

A hint of guilt flashed across the little field mouse's face. "Well, how should I put it, there was a bit of an accident. I originally wanted you guys to help raise it, but after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it. As for now, it can understand human speech and won't bite people randomly, right, Big White?"

The white wolf nodded its enormous wolf head.

Shen Banxia sighed, "Now that this little guy has grown up, he's not like a puppy anymore. What do you think the villagers will think?"

"Hehe, as long as this winter is over, the boss will find a place to go on his own."

"Why this time?" Shen Banxia pressed.

"You know how cold it is back there? I was just worried about Big White. Don't worry, I have a treasure. There's plenty of food inside for it." The little field mouse couldn't stop talking about its collection. "Let me tell you, back then, there was trouble in the Imperial Kitchen, right? The rebels were attacking. Hehe, I had a brilliant idea and packed up all the food in the Imperial Kitchen."

"And what about your master?" Shen Banxia asked again.

"He went on a journey."

Shen Banxia: ...

She gives off the vibe of a little field mouse spouting nonsense.

However, how many items must the entire Imperial Kitchen have in its collection?

Thinking that Zhou Mingqian had spent a lot of effort trying to get supplies from the black market but hadn't managed to obtain much, Shen Banxia had another idea in mind. "Do you have any cotton or anything like that to keep warm?"

"Of course, I've stored all the palace supplies in my treasures. Those people are only concerned with escaping for their lives."

Shen Banxia twitched her lips. Was this true or false?

"Can you trade those things with me?" Shen Banxia wouldn't take advantage of the little field mouse.

"Sure, Xiaxia, if you want to use it, anything is fine, even the baby in your belly. But your man can't; he has to be swapped."

Shen Banxia twitched her lips again.

"What can we exchange it for?" Shen Banxia inquired.

"A magical treasure."

Shen Banxia: ...

Her silence was deafening.

Seeing that Shen Banxia didn't speak, the little field mouse didn't want her to think he was stingy, so he retorted, "I'm not being stingy. You are destined to be with me, so I'll let you use it. As for others, getting opportunities that don't belong to them for no reason will only shorten their fortune and lifespan."

Thinking about the little field mouse's experiences, Shen Banxia didn't disbelieve it.

"What qualifies as a treasure with spiritual energy?"

"I can smell it with my nose," the little field mouse said casually.

Well, Shen Banxia, ​​who had originally had some other ideas, immediately put them aside.

For information regarding Niu Peng, we should try to find out more from the black market.

“Alright, in that case, I’ll trade with you when you smell something with spiritual energy.” Shen Banxia wouldn’t take advantage of others casually, whether they were people or rats.

"good".

The man and the mouse reached an agreement.

Now, the little field mouse finally found an opportunity to show off its collection.

But before it even started, Aunt Zhu's panicked voice came from behind, "Banxia, ​​something terrible has happened!"

Shen Banxia's heart skipped a beat. Before she could figure out where this feeling came from, she heard Aunt Zhu's voice coming from afar, "Zhao Zhiqing is in trouble. He got into a fight with Liu Zhe. It was a really fierce fight."
