Chen Zhixiu and the others arrived after Chen Yijun had given them the antidote.
Seeing her loved one lying on the bed, Chen Zhixiu rushed over and wept silently.
"Tuantuan, it's alright, look at your brother, Tuantuan..." Chen Xingfeng noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Tuantuan and kept trying to coax her, but Xiao Tuantuan was like a wooden doll, not responding or speaking.
"Big brother, what's wrong with Tuantuan?" Chen Lingfeng also became nervous and looked at Xiao Tuantuan with concern.
Chen Xingfeng was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Being too sad will block out everything from the outside world. We can only wait for her to recover on her own."
"That damned old geezer!" Chen Lingfeng shouted in a deep voice, "It's all that old man's fault!"
Chen Xingfeng pursed his lips and remained silent, frowning as he stared at Xiao Tuantuan to avoid any surprises for her.
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere was completely silent.
Slowly, Chen Luo and the others woke up one by one, and Chen Zhixiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears.
Chen Xiaoran and the others standing nearby were also relieved.
"I'm going to make something to eat!" Chen Zhixiu said, heading towards the kitchen, but Chen Xiaoran stopped her. "Xiu'er, go and tidy yourself up. I'll have the restaurant send some food over."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixiu glanced at herself, nodded quickly, and returned to her room.
Chen Luo's face darkened, and he said coldly, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother would want to kill us. What is the reason behind this?"
Feng Yue rubbed her temples and then took everyone's pulses. "Nian'er, A Li, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
The group shook their heads; aside from not being able to exert any force, there was nothing else wrong with them.
"Thanks to Tuantuan's antidote." Chen Yijun exhaled a breath of stale air.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Xiao Tuantuan. Seeing that she remained motionless, Feng Yue immediately noticed something was wrong: "What's wrong with Tuantuan!"
As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Tuantuan's side: "This... Tuantuan, Tuantuan?"
“Tuantuan is obsessed.” Chen Luo frowned.
"Tuantuan, can you hear Grandma's voice, Tuantuan?"
Chen Zhixiu, who had just changed her clothes, heard Feng Yue's voice and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly walked over: "Tuantuan..."
Xiao Tuantuan was immersed in her memories of her past life, and a sense of sadness enveloped her.
She didn't know how much time had passed, until she heard familiar calls from all sides. Only then did she come to her senses, her eyelashes trembling, and her eyes brightening: "Grandfather...Grandmother...Mother..."
"He's awake! He's finally awake!" Chen Lingfeng cheered.
Chen Xingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Yue hugged Xiao Tuantuan tightly: "You little rascal, you scared your grandmother to death!"
Xiao Tuantuan's tears soaked Feng Yue's clothes.
"Okay, okay, our Tuantuan was just scared this time. It'll be fine once she's cried..."
"Father, Chi Yi and the others are back," Chen Xingfeng said softly.
Chen Xiaoran glanced at everyone and nodded: "I'll be right back."
Chen Xingfeng thought for a moment, then followed.
After the family finished their meal and rested for a while, Chen Xiaoran said, "We didn't catch Li Fan or the people who were blocking us."
Chen Luo frowned deeply: "Never mind."
"Father, Mother, Brother, Sister-in-law, this is my fault." Chen Zhixiu took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's Xiao Guangyuan."
After Chen Zhixiu and Li Fan repeated what they had said, anger was clearly visible on everyone's faces.
"What a Xiao Guangyuan! He not only betrayed Xiu'er, but he also wanted to kill her!"
Chen Yijun slammed his hand on the table: "Unforgivable!"
Chen Wenxiu said coldly, "This time it's not enough for us to just avoid it. If Xiao Guangyuan finds out that Li Fan and his group's plan has failed, he will send others over."
“Wen Xiu is right,” Chen Xiaoran said slowly. “I suggest the whole family move to town so they can take care of each other.”
Nan Nian and Rong Manli exchanged a glance, and Rong Manli said, "We were careless this time. Fortunately, we had people around Tuantuan and the others."
"Thank you so much, Tuantuan! I never imagined your medical skills had reached such a level!" Nan Nian said with a smile, trying to liven up the atmosphere. "If Tuantuan ever develops any pills in the future, you must give some to your aunt."
Xiao Tuantuan smiled faintly: "Good...it's all thanks to my grandmother and uncle for teaching me well."
Chen Xiaoran's voice softened a bit: "Tuantuan has surpassed her teacher. This antidote, although made from simple ingredients, is extremely difficult to control in terms of dosage. The ingredients interact with each other, which is quite remarkable."
Xiao Tuantuan's eyes lit up: "Then I'll research more pills in the future and give them all to you!"
Everyone laughed.
Chen Luo then made the final decision: "Tonight, we will move to town, and rent out our farmland to other people in Chenjia Village."
“I’ve already prepared the house.” Chen Yijun took out the property deed from his pocket. “No. 135, East Street. It’s about half a cup of tea’s time to walk from Fenghua Academy.”
"The two courtyards are next to each other and connected in the middle. The three of us brothers live in one courtyard, and our parents and younger sister live in the other courtyard. We will trouble our parents to take care of Xingfeng and Lingfeng."
Hearing Chen Yijun's arrangements, Feng Yue laughed and cursed a few times: "You don't even care about your own son?"
"It's because our parents are here that we can finally relax!"
Chen Zhixiu clenched her hands inside her sleeves; she wanted to earn more money too.
"By the way, there's a vegetable garden behind the yard. Didn't you want to study chili peppers, little sister?" Chen Yijun looked at Chen Zhixiu. "Go ahead and study them. If you can't figure them out, just sell them all to your older brother!"
Chen Xiaoran glanced helplessly at Chen Yijun before saying, "Xiu'er, don't feel pressured. We didn't tell you our identities before because we felt it was unnecessary. Now that I think about it, you should know about our family's situation."
Xiao Tuantuan became interested and listened intently.
"Erdong Restaurant, Dongfeng Grain Shop, and Tianhe Tea House are all our family's businesses. In addition, I am also a member of Shenxiangu."
Chen Xiaoran's words surprised Chen Zhixiu greatly.
Chen Wenxiu interjected, "Big brother found martial arts masters to secretly protect Xingfeng, Lingfeng, and Tuantuan. We thought you wouldn't be in any danger with your parents, but we didn't expect this... So this time, we will find masters to protect you again, so don't be afraid of anything in the future."
Chen Zhixiu's nose tingled with emotion: "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law."
“There’s no need for such formalities among family members,” Chen Wenxiu said with a smile. “As for your desire to set up a stall to make money, we certainly won’t stop you. Xiu’er, as long as you’re happy, we’ll support whatever you do.”
While the Chen family was enjoying a harmonious time, Li Fan met up with the man with a large black mole on his face.
"Qian Yun, what happened? Why didn't you stop those three?" Li Fan immediately blamed Qian Yun as soon as he saw him speak.
Qian Yun was in a sorry state. While tending to his wounds, he sneered, "Didn't you say that apart from Chen Luo's martial arts skills, the rest of the Chen family were nothing to fear? Those three are all incredibly skilled! And that's not all, they even have secret guards! Just who are they?"
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was stunned. How could this be?
"Don't talk to me. I can't even handle a woman. I'd like to see how you explain this to the adults!" Qian Yun looked at Li Fan with sarcasm.
Li Fan said dismissively, "So what if they escaped? They were poisoned by me and can only last for a day at most. The antidote for this poison will take at least three days to make. By now, they are probably just cold corpses!"
Qian Yun looked at Li Fan's smug expression and curled her lip: "That's for the best."
Meanwhile, the Chen family had already boarded a carriage and headed to town.
Looking at the silent Chen Zhixiu, Xiao Tuantuan sighed inwardly. Her mother would be heartbroken if she knew what Xiao Guangyuan had done. What could she do to help her mother get over it...?
That damned Xiao Guangyuan!
Chen Zhixiu caught a glimpse of Xiao Tuantuan's furrowed brows out of the corner of her eye, and her heart ached. Tuantuan knew that her own father had cruelly tried to kill her, and she knew she must be devastated. She didn't know how to comfort her...
Xiao Guangyuan deserves to die!
