Back in the house, Li Laoda and Li Yiyi were eating delicious meat and white rice. Since they had a space, Li Laoda would occasionally bring things back.
I bought all the pots, pans, and seasonings. When I want to eat, I take Li Yiyi up the mountain to the cave, stir-fry a big pot of it, and put it into my space while it's still hot. When I take it out, it will still be hot.
Once he goes to work, he won't need to go to labor anymore. His work points won't be credited at home, so there's no worry about the Li family taking advantage of him. He'll also have a reason to eat the pig feed – the bright green pig swill will be given to the Li family.
"Dad, I want more cabbage."
The vegetables grown in the space were delicious, with a unique flavor, which Li Yiyi liked very much.
"Eat more, you little fat pig."
"Mom, I'm not fat. Dad's talking nonsense."
Li Yiyi immediately complained, "She's not fat at all! None of the cultivators are fat. She's a fairy, not a little flying pig!"
"Yi Yi is not fat."
Jiang Yuting comforted him, and looking at Li Laoda, who was fighting with Li Yiyi for food, Jiang Yuting seemed to recall her own childhood.
Back then, her father would tease her and her brother like that, while her mother watched.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Li Yiyi, the sycophant, clung to Jiang Yuting's leg; she couldn't have been mistaken for the sadness she'd just seen.
"Mother is fine. Mother just missed your maternal grandparents and uncle."
After wiping Li Yiyi's mouth clean, Jiang Yuting looked at Li Laoda and said nostalgically that she was already very satisfied with her current life.
"Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle are all fine."
Li Yiyi said confidently, after all, they would have to come out later, otherwise how could Li Fuyi impersonate her?
"Is it true? —"
Remembering that her daughter knew the plot, Jiang Yuting smiled, like a delicate flower that had been nourished and blossomed, captivating everyone with its vibrant color enhanced several shades.
Li Yiyi was stunned by Jiang Yuting's appearance.
"Mom, you are so beautiful."
With her sadness dissipating, Jiang Yuting was amused by Li Yiyi.
As Li Yiyi went to sleep, she recalled the news about her maternal grandparents and uncle, her little face looking at Jiang Yuting.
[Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle are really alright.]
If something happens to them, Li Fuyi won't have a chance to impersonate me anymore. You should happily wait for them to come back.
Jiang Yuting stroked Li Yiyi's head, secretly resolving that her daughter was right; she had to live well, for only by living could there be hope.
[I remember my grandparents first appearing in the book several years later, when the college entrance examination was reinstated. Li Fuyi somehow met her uncle then.]
Upon hearing her uncle's name, Jiang Yucheng, and that she had a younger sister, Li Fuyi suddenly rushed forward and said her mother's name was Jiang Yuting. Li Laosan and Wang Yiting, blinded by self-interest, followed Li Fuyi and became her third uncle and aunt.
[With the help of the Jiang family's influence, Li Fuyi and Zhou Wenzhu rose through the ranks. Once the Jiang family was no longer of use, fearing their plans would fall apart, they found a pretext to bring them down.]
Finally, the truth was told to the maternal grandparents. In a fit of anger, the grandparents also passed away. The uncle, unable to bear the shock, felt that with his family gone, life had no meaning and he followed them in death.
[The story is over. Mom, you didn't meet Grandma and Grandpa again, but it's okay. This time is different. Your daughter will protect you well. When the college entrance exam resumes, we'll go to the place where Grandma and Grandpa appeared to find them.]
"Damn it."
Upon hearing that her parents had passed away, Jiang Yuting couldn't help but curse angrily.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Li Yiyi looked up, bewildered, not understanding why Jiang Yuting had said that.
It got stuck.
How could she explain that she could hear her daughter's inner thoughts and couldn't help but yell at her?
"Daughter, go to sleep. Your mother must be angry with them."
At the crucial moment, Boss Li came to the rescue. The naive Li Yi thought about it for a moment and felt something was wrong, but seeing that both Boss Li and Jiang Yuting gave the same answer,
She drifted off to sleep, knowing she would need to get up and cultivate in her spatial dimension that night.
With the crisis averted, Jiang Yuting rewarded Li Laoda with a kiss. Looking at Li Yiyi's little face, Li Laoda gently carried Jiang Yuting to the next room.
The daughter woke up quite early, an hour or two would be enough. Jiang Yuting was unusually cooperative, and Li Laoda was full of energy. Fortunately, he knew his limits and went back to bed when Li Yiyi was about to wake up.
Thousands of miles away, Jiang Cheng couldn't sleep at night. Looking at the moon in the sky, he worried about Jiang Yuting's condition.
The incident happened suddenly; the Jiang family was reported unexpectedly, and in the heat of the moment, they could only send Jiang Yuting to the countryside. Fortunately, they found someone to take care of her, so presumably her life won't be too difficult.
Looking at Jiang's father and mother sleeping inside, their once black hair had turned white, and wrinkles had appeared on their young faces. Jiang Cheng hated the person who reported their family.
The Jiang family has always avoided wrongdoing and acted cautiously. They were prepared when they received a tip-off, so how could they be so careless as to be reported? He didn't believe there wasn't a mole within their ranks.
Repeating his usual routine, Jiang Cheng analyzed in his mind again and again who had done it.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang opened their eyes and then closed them again. They were more worried about their daughter, who had been pampered since childhood, than anyone else. However, they were barely able to take care of themselves, so it was unrealistic to go looking for Jiang Yuting.
The son was already worried, so they couldn't show anything unusual. Only by living well could they have any hope of seeing the light.
Hold on to hope, they will have a chance to see their daughter again.
Elsewhere, Li Daqiang excitedly told his wife that he was going to close a big deal that evening, and after that, they could stop and go home to live a peaceful life.
Zhou Wenzhu went to the kitchen for a drink of water because she was thirsty. She happened to overhear Li Daqiang talking, but didn't dare to get too close. Zhou Wenzhu crouched down and listened carefully.
I vaguely heard Brother Li talking about big business and money.
Brother Li, that's Boss Li. A chilling hatred flashed in his eyes. Zhou Wenzhu had stayed at Li Daqiang's house for a long time and knew what kind of business Li Daqiang was talking about—it was actually an illegal business.
That evening, while with Li Laoda, a hint of ferocity appeared on Zhou Wenzhu's youthful face. She quietly returned to her room, closed her eyes, and pretended to fall asleep on the small bed that Li Daqiang's wife had prepared for her.
His mind was incredibly clear. Zhou Wenzhu knew his chances were slim, so even though he was exhausted, he dared not fall asleep. In his hazy state, Zhou Wenzhu heard footsteps.
The door opened immediately, and footsteps grew closer. Zhou Wenzhu's body tensed up under the covers.
"Our son is asleep. Husband, please be careful. Our son and I are waiting for you to come home."
Li Daqiang's wife looked at him with reluctance and worry.
"Don't worry, wife, I, Li Daqiang, will definitely come back."
Comforting his wife, Li Daqiang looked at Zhou Wenzhu's small figure.
“Honey, we’ll move when we get back. We can’t keep this kid anymore. Let him go home on his own! We’ve already done enough by keeping him for a few months.”
"Honey, I'll do whatever you say."
The heavy footsteps faded away. Li Daqiang's wife picked up Li Wuchi and carried him back to her room. Only after the door closed did Zhou Wenzhu lift the covers.
I'm staring intently at the door; I'm not keeping him anymore, I want him to come home by himself.
Thinking of the production team's cowshed, Zhou Wenzhu was unwilling to go back, and her previously wavering resolve suddenly cooled.
