"Help! Stop hitting me! Ah!"
Chen Xue rolled on the ground, but Xiao Tuantuan showed no intention of letting go. Grabbing her sparse hair, she dragged her directly in front of Chen Zhixiu: "Apologize to my mother!"
This action startled Chen Xingfeng and Chen Lingfeng, who both gasped in shock.
"What a fierce little sister!"
As soon as Chen Lingfeng finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head!
Chen Lingfeng looked at Chen Luo with a pitiful expression: "Grandfather, if you hit me again, I won't be able to think straight!"
"Hmph, you're not much better yourself." Chen Luo glanced at Chen Lingfeng and said indifferently, "Look at how you two can't lift a finger, and look at your sister, learn from her!"
Chen Lingfeng shrank his neck and winked at Chen Xingfeng, saying, "Brother, Grandfather wants you to learn more!"
Chen Xingfeng coughed twice and looked away. He wasn't stupid enough to respond!
"Tuanzi, stop hitting..." Nan Nian, who had come to her senses, quickly hugged Xiao Tuantuan. Looking at Xiao Tuantuan's little face, which was red from anger, she couldn't help but touch it affectionately. "Let Auntie come."
Chen Xue collapsed to the ground, looking at Xiao Tuantuan with apprehension.
Xiao Tuantuan glared at her fiercely and shouted loudly, "What are you looking at! Do you think you can kill me with your eyes?"
"Chen Xue, you should leave." After Nan Nian helped Xiao Tuantuan sit down on the stool, Feng Yue said, "The Chen family won't tolerate you."
Chen Luo glanced at Chen Xue indifferently: "Considering you're still a child, the Chen family won't hold it against you."
When Chen Xue met Chen Luo's gaze, she couldn't help but shiver.
He quickly got up from the ground and was about to go out when he heard Chen Zhixiu's voice: "Wait."
Chen Xue quickly turned around and met Chen Zhixiu's eyes. She knelt down with a thud: "Auntie, I was wrong, I was really wrong this time! Please, save me!"
Rong Manli frowned deeply: "Sleeve?"
"Auntie, you can't be soft-hearted anymore!" Chen Lingfeng said quickly, "She's an ungrateful wretch!"
Chen Xingfeng also stood in front of Chen Zhixiu.
Chen Zhixiu smiled gently and said slowly, "Of course I won't be a sucker again."
As he spoke, he walked around them and came to Chen Xue's side, reaching out to pull off the jade pendant from Chen Xue's neck: "This jade pendant is a gift from me."
Chen Xue was shocked: "You can't take my jade pendant! How am I supposed to live if you take it! Are you trying to force me to my death?"
"What do I care if you live or die?" A resolute look appeared on Chen Zhixiu's gentle face. "You're not a son of the Chen family, just a stranger."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xue's face turned deathly pale: "No! No! Give me back the jade pendant! You hypocrite! You shameless woman! No wonder my uncle divorced you!"
"Smack!"
Chen Zhixiu was stunned when she saw Xiao Tuantuan blocking her way.
"Say one more word and I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Xiao Tuantuan glared fiercely at Chen Xue like a little leopard.
Chen Lingfeng and Chen Xingfeng quickly dragged Chen Xue away and threw her outside!
"Xiu'er, you really gave birth to a good daughter," Nan Nian said helplessly. "This little girl is quite strong."
"With so many people here, are you worried your mother will suffer?"
Nan Nian teased, making the atmosphere a bit more cheerful.
Xiao Tuantuan's face was flushed. She hugged Chen Zhixiu's arm tightly and said softly, "If anyone bullies Aunt, Tuantuan will protect Aunt."
"Hahaha!" Nan Nian laughed. "Then we'll have to rely on Tuanzi to protect us from now on."
Chen Zhixiu laughed along, "Sister-in-law, stop teasing her."
"Alright, alright, let's eat first, and then you can all get some rest."
Nan Nian quickly said, then looked at Chen Xiaoran: "Xiaoran, when are you going back to town?"
"In a few days." Chen Xiaoran looked at Xiao Tuantuan, seemingly lost in thought. Perhaps he could take her as a disciple?
Nan Nian was quite surprised: "What's wrong? This is the first time I've seen you voluntarily stay in the village."
Chen Xiaoran looked at Nan Nian and smiled helplessly: "It's because of Tuantuan."
Dumplings?
Nan Nian watched as everyone went inside, feeling somewhat curious. After Chen Xiaoran briefly explained his thoughts, Nan Nian was taken aback: "Really?"
Chen Xiaoran raised an eyebrow: "Of course."
After the two entered the house and ate, Chen Zhixiu went to rest.
The Chen brothers went to their room to study.
Chen Luo went to the woodshed with Rong Manli.
Nan Nian and Chen Xiaoran went to Feng Yue's room.
"You want to take Tuantuan as your apprentice?" Feng Yue looked at Chen Xiaoran in surprise. "Tuantuan is indeed smart, but if she becomes your apprentice, she will have a lot of burdens to bear in the future..."
Upon hearing this, Nan Nian slapped her forehead: "How could I forget! That won't do. Tuantuan is already pitiful enough. We should pamper her and let her live happily."
Chen Xiaoran frowned slightly: "I misunderstood. Never mind, let's just let this matter go."
“You are her uncle after all, so it’s not wrong for you to teach her medicine. There’s no need to limit yourself to the master-disciple relationship. By the way, take a look at this book.” Feng Yue handed over the medical book that Xiao Tuantuan had given her. “I’ve never seen anything like what’s written in this medical book before, but I feel like it’s worth a try.”
After reading the contents of the book, Chen Xiaoran was so fond of it that Feng Yue simply gave it to him, saying, "You can take it and study it. I'm getting old, and my mind doesn't work as fast as yours young people."
On the other side, Xiao Tuantuan lay under a big tree in the yard, her soul entering the space: "Soup Spoon, where are the chili peppers I traded my grandfather's clothes for last time?"
There's a bag on your right, go check it out.
Xiao Tuantuan took two steps forward and sure enough, she saw a burlap sack. When she opened it, she was overjoyed to see the bright red chili peppers inside. She immediately took out a few and prepared to try planting them.
"Xiao Tuantuan, you don't seem interested in space trading." Tang Shao's voice was tinged with doubt.
Xiao Tuantuan was taken aback: "Interested! Look, I'm using space trading to get what I need, aren't I?"
The spoon paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I thought you were going to switch to a pistol, an atomic bomb..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tuantuan seemed to understand something and slowly said, "These things are indeed very useful, but I don't really understand them."
"Or perhaps, possessing a treasure is a crime, so I seek revenge. I still want to rely on my own strength."
“I learned martial arts from my maternal grandfather, medicine from my maternal grandmother, and music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and so on from my teachers. I just thought that only by learning them could they belong to me and I would be able to use them someday.”
"I just feel that taking shortcuts is not a safe bet."
Just when Xiao Tuantuan thought Tangshao wouldn't speak, Tangshao said, "It really is you, no doubt about it."
Xiao Tuantuan: ? ? ? What is the spoon saying?
However, no matter how she called for the spoon, it no longer responded.
Xiao Tuantuan didn't care about anything else. When she took the chili peppers to the kitchen, she heard a muffled groan coming from the woodshed.
Xiao Tuantuan walked over with a puzzled look and cautiously peeked through the doors and windows of the woodshed: "Grandfather and Second Aunt?"
"Li, is there anything else you want to say?" Chen Luo asked in a low voice.
Li Dandan was terrified and kept backing away, crying out, "You can't kill me! I had Xue'er poison me! No one can save Chen Zhixiu except me!"
"Bang!"
The basket carrying the chili peppers fell to the ground with a thud.
Rong Manyi quickly opened the door and saw Xiao Tuantuan's pale face. Her heart skipped a beat: "Tuantuan..."
Xiao Tuantuan's eyes flickered, and she rushed towards Li Shi, grabbing her neck with her small hand and shouting, "Tell me! Where is the antidote! Or I'll kill you!"
