All eyes turned to him, and Zhou Dawei asked anxiously, "Erqian, how is Rongrong?"
"She's not dead? That's amazing. Her hair was blown apart by lightning, yet she's still alive."
Zhou Erqian took a big gulp of water and said, "Grandma, the village chief talked to you about Rongrong. I heard him say that he wanted Rongrong to come to our house."
Zhuang Rongrong made a huge fuss about praying for rain today, but she also lost face, even embarrassing the village chief.
The families who used to want to adopt her are now silent; instead, they've all set their sights on Sisi.
The village chief thought that since she was from the same village, he couldn't just ignore her. He remembered that she was usually on good terms with the Zhou family, so he came up with this idea.
The old lady immediately frowned and said, "No, we have enough children already. I don't have the money to raise another one."
"Erqian, just tell the village chief that our family is poor and we really can't afford to support so many children." Qin didn't want to bring someone with ulterior motives into the family.
Zhou Erqian objected, "Grandma, Mom, how can you two be so heartless? Our family is clearly wealthy, and besides, didn't we just sell the giant Ganoderma lucidum? With so much money, what's a little child?"
Zhou Dawei thought that since the money wasn't his, he had no right to speak, but thinking about Rongrong's current situation, whom he had watched grow up, he sighed heavily.
"Sister Rongrong is indeed pitiful."
“Rongrong has a small appetite, she can’t eat much at all. Mother, Grandma, I beg you, please take Rongrong in.”
Zhou Erqian clasped his hands together and begged shamelessly.
Qin rolled her eyes. "I don't have money. If you have money, go support yourself. You can't even support yourself, yet you're thinking of supporting others."
"Can't you just treat me like a child bride?"
The old lady smacked him on the head. "A little brat like you is already thinking about a child bride. When you grow up, you'll be successful and won't you have any choice in the world?"
Zhou Erqian persisted, pestering the old lady and rolling around on the ground, "Grandma, please, take Rongrong in. If you don't take Rongrong in, I won't get up."
"Then you shouldn't get up."
The old lady lifted her foot to leave, but he grabbed her legs, sat on the ground, and started wailing.
"grandmother…"
The old lady was getting a headache from his nagging. "All the money in our family comes from Sisi. If you can convince Sisi, I'll agree to let Rongrong stay."
Zhou Erqian went to find Zhou Sisi excitedly on Tuesday. He didn't come for nothing; he brought a piece of candy with him.
That silly girl is easy to fool.
"Sisi, here's some candy for you. If you agree to let Rongrong stay, I'll never call you 'little brat' again, okay?"
Sisi looked up at him. Erguoguo's face didn't show any attitude of begging at all. Instead, it was like a big shot giving you a chance, and you should accept and be grateful.
The little one got upset, grabbed the bag, turned his face away, pouted, and refused, "No!"
No matter what, she won't leave any bad fish behind.
If the bad fish stays in the Zhou family, it will only make it easier for the pots to harm them!
"Zhou Sisi!"
Zhou Erqian got angry. It was the first time she had spoken to her in a soft and gentle tone, and she was so ungrateful!
He threw away the candy in his hand and reached out to grab her, but before he could touch her, Lao Wu suddenly kicked him.
"Ouch!" He felt a sharp pain in his knee and fell to the ground with a thud, cursing as he clutched his backside.
"Fifth brother, you dare kick your brother? You heartless bastard, you're siding with this brat. Have you forgotten who took care of you when she broke your leg?"
Xie Yan's expression was very indifferent. "I'm fine now."
"Fine, you've forgotten the pain now that you're healed. Be careful, she might break your leg again!" Zhou Erqian seemed to be driven mad with anger, pointing fiercely at Sisi.
"So young and yet so heartless, how wicked!"
"You can easily support her yourself, why use Sisi's money to hold her hostage?"
Xie Yan's dark eyes stared at him, and for some reason, Zhou Erqian felt a chill run down his spine.
Knowing he was in the wrong, he glared at Sisi and ran away.
He insisted on bringing Rongrong back even though they wouldn't take her in; he refused to believe they would have the nerve to kick her out!
vicious?
Sisi pointed at herself, stunned, and murmured, "Fifth Brother, is Sisi vicious?"
She did all this clearly for Erguotou's good, so why are you scolding her?
For the first time, Sisi felt wronged.
Her little hands gripped Xie Yan's clothes tightly, her big eyes red and swollen like a little rabbit's.
Xie Yan picked her up, her voice softening, "He wasn't mean. Second brother didn't mean to scold you. He was angry and just said something inappropriate because Rongrong was angry."
The little guy was immediately appeased. "Will Erguoguo apologize to Sisi when he comes back?"
You should apologize if you make a mistake.
Xie Yan was stumped by the question, and it seemed unlikely that he would get an apology from Zhou Erqian, as he was naturally stubborn.
...
When Zhuang Rongrong woke up at the village chief's house, the heavy rain outside had stopped.
She propped herself up and suddenly heard the village chief talking to someone in the courtyard.
"This rain really saved our whole village. The fields were soaked through, so all the seeds we planted will definitely grow. We definitely won't starve this year."
Another woman said, "Rongrong, what are you planning to do? Before, people lined up to take her in, and the door was practically kicked down. Now, everyone avoids her, like she's a hot potato."
"Although she didn't succeed in praying for rain, it's true that she used to collect a lot of good things. It's just that her luck has been a bit bad lately. I've already spoken to Erqian and asked the Zhou family to take her in."
"Now that I think about it, that silly girl from the Zhou family was right. The Dragon King is the one in charge of rain. It would be strange if she kept praying to the Bodhisattva and it rained. She made such a big joke of herself."
The village chief scolded, "Say less."
The piercing sound brought tears streaming down Zhuang Rongrong's face.
This rainmaking ritual should have been flawless, but it's all because of that fool!
She had always been very lucky, and she was always the one praised in the village. But ever since that fool stopped being a fool, the person being praised has changed.
Zhou Sisi, Zhou Sisi!
Zhuang Rongrong's eyes were bloodshot with hatred; she couldn't let a fool stand on her head like this.
Thinking of something, Zhuang Rongrong immediately wiped away her tears and hurriedly ran outside.
Judging by the time, the important person should be arriving in town soon.
The book says she arrived in town in the evening to buy ginseng to save her life. Unfortunately, her carriage broke down in front of Zhou Dawei's blacksmith shop. He helped her, and the nobleman generously rewarded him with one hundred taels of silver, which gave Zhou Dawei the confidence to return with his ugly face.
Zhuang Rongrong didn't care about the hundred taels of silver; what she valued was the status of a noble person. Anyone who could casually take out a hundred taels of silver was definitely not an ordinary person.
If one is adopted by a noble person, one can receive an extra hundred taels of silver.
Then no one will look down on her anymore.
She'll find an excuse to buy the Demon King back and slowly raise him by her side; the position of Demon Queen will still be hers!
Zhuang Rongrong firmly believed that everyone would bow down to money.
If you don't bow your head, it just means you haven't given enough.
