A damp sensation fell onto her neck. Mimicking an adult, Li Yi patted Jiang Yuting's back.
My mother has had a tough time too.
[He never saw his parents in his entire life, and spent his whole life worrying and fretting.]
Worried and anxious
Jiang Yuting dared not cry anymore, afraid that if she got too emotional, she would end up like the characters in the storybooks. She needed to stay healthy so she could see her older brother tomorrow.
"Thank you, Yi Yi."
After calming herself down, Jiang Yuting said gently,
She was truly grateful to her daughter. If it weren't for her daughter, her life with Li Laoda might have really ended up like in the stories.
I've lived a long and arduous life, and when I look back, I'm left with nothing but a worthless wretch.
"Mother~"
She sweetly called out "Mother!" Li Yiyi couldn't resist such a sentimental moment, but her little schemes were still running through her mind.
"Mom, if you really want to thank me, ask Uncle to give me a little more money tomorrow."
[Mother, also, you should teach Uncle a good lesson.]
He didn't teach me anything good, but instead taught me to be a beggar, and told me to eat less and starve myself.
Li Yi raised four fingers and swore that she really wasn't lying.
Translated word by word, this is exactly what Jiang Cheng meant.
Jiang Yuting looked at Boss Li, who gave her a "we'll talk about it later" look. He said he would definitely tell her about her wonderful performance today, which was a rare source of laughter, once his daughter went to the space.
Li Yi went into the spatial dimension, while Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting kept laughing, tears streaming down their faces.
After discussing Jiang Cheng's later fate,
Jiang Yuting cried sadly, laughing and crying at the same time. Her emotions were so turbulent that she was exhausted. Before Li Yiyi came out, Li Laoda and Jiang Yuting went to sleep.
Li Yiyi was busy planting vegetables, harvesting grains, and drawing talismans in the space. After leaving the space, she burrowed into the quilt and fell asleep.
Zhou Wenzhu, heading to the county town, found the place in the dark.
He went to visit a distant relative of his Zhou family, a relative that few people knew about. Zhou Wenzhu only found out about this relative when they met by chance after he was in high school in his previous life.
They rarely contact each other, and Zhou Wenzhu would never show her her face unless absolutely necessary. In her previous life, the two families only gradually became connected because of the matter between Li Jiamin and the Li family head.
He had planned to contact her again after a while, but Li Yiyi really angered him today, so Zhou Wenzhu couldn't stand it and decided to bring the plan forward.
"Knock knock knock"
Who is it?
The tone wasn't friendly, but Zhou Wenzhu didn't mind. This distant relative of his wasn't a kind person to begin with; he was always doing dangerous business, and a single misstep could cost him his life.
"Brother Zhou, I am Zhou Wenzhu."
"Zhou Wenzhu".
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Wenhua finally remembered who Zhou Wenzhu was.
"So it's you, kid. Come on in."
If someone shows up so late at night, they must have something on their mind. No matter what it is, as long as they can afford the price, everyone who comes is a customer.
“Uncle Zhou, I know your rules. If you do me a small favor, I’ll give you this amount after it’s done.”
Zhou Wenzhu gestured the number two, and before Zhou Wenhua could refute, she offered her explanation.
"gold."
Both understood the meaning in that one word. Zhou Wenzhu was fearless; the treasure map was in his mind, and finding it was only a matter of time. He could afford to give up the two small yellow croakers.
"Wenzhu is as generous as ever, but you know, in our line of work..."
"Four."
"become."
Four small yellow croakers—it seems he underestimated Zhou Wenzhu. As expected of someone from the same clan, she's ruthless and decisive.
"Brother Zhou, what I need you to do is..."
In the stillness of the night, two figures, one tall and one short, were reflected in the window, exchanging a few words every now and then, seemingly engaged in a pleasant conversation.
The wick of the kerosene lamp gradually burned out, the moon was high in the sky, and the two, one big and one small, finally went out.
The moon, high in the sky, gradually moved towards its predetermined trajectory, and the two moons, one large and one small, arrived at the Li family's house.
He climbed up the wall and then stealthily climbed down, a process that took only a few minutes. This shows that Zhou Wenhua was an experienced man.
Having determined the room, he took two bamboo tubes out of his pocket.
They gave one to Zhou Wenzhu and kept the other for themselves, acting separately and being very cautious.
After waiting by the window for a long time, Zhou Wenhua went into Li Yiyi's room. A short while later, he came out carrying Li Yiyi, and to his credit, he wrapped her in a small blanket.
Zhou Wenhua had also heard of Li Yiyi's reputation as a sickly person.
Those in their line of work wouldn't dare to act rashly without thoroughly understanding the situation.
As usual, Zhou Wenzhu climbed over the wall to go outside. She tried to pull off the small blanket, but Zhou Wenhua stopped her.
"No, this sickly person is already in poor health. If something bad happens to him, I'm not doing this business anymore."
The low voice carried a threatening tone, causing Zhou Wenzhu to release her hands.
Watching helplessly as Zhou Wenhua took Li Yiyi away, the moonlight was hidden by dark clouds, and the night made things easier. Zhou Wenhua's figure disappeared into the pitch-black night.
Zhou Wenzhu revealed a cruel smile. "Li Yiyi, don't blame him for being heartless; it's her own fault for being blind."
When Li Yi woke up again, he felt very uncomfortable.
Why didn't her dad wake her up for work today? This sudden break is quite unsettling for her.
"You good-for-nothing! If my precious grandson goes hungry, I'll beat you to death! How could my Lang family have married such a spendthrift woman like you? All these years, you've only given my Lang family one grandson. We've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes."
The words were familiar, but the voice was unfamiliar. Li Yiyi stared wide-eyed, lost in thought.
She seems to sleepwalk; she wakes up in a completely different place.
