At present, Shen Mu Ning's body is not very healthy and her muscles are weak, so she uses the method of absorbing external elements to upgrade her superpowers, and to beat her body to increase her strength.
With this training method, once the wood-type ability reaches the first level, the body's strength will be equivalent to that of two ordinary adults, meaning it can withstand a force of over 150 jin (75 catties). Although it is not as terrifying as the strength of a power-type ability user, it will still provide self-defense in this era.
Shen Mu Ning didn't go out; she stayed in the woodshed cultivating until evening, when Shen Guo Liang's family returned. She then stopped her deep cultivation and focused some of her attention on the outside world.
"Honey, that brat hasn't woken up yet!" Li Hongmei came back to find the stove and pots empty. No one had done the housework for the past two days, so she had to do it all herself, which was incredibly hard work.
"Okay, go check on him. If he still has a fever, take him to the hospital and get some medicine." Shen Guoliang leaned back in his chair, not really in the mood to talk.
"Send her to the hospital? What hospital? That precious medicine is for her!" Li Hongmei exploded when she heard that she should be sent to the hospital. She had never been to the hospital to get medicine when she was sick. Why should that little brat get the right to do that?
“It’s been two days already. If this continues, she’ll either burn to death or starve to death. No matter what, she can’t die in our house.”
"Yes, Mom, we have to wake her up quickly. If she dies, it'll be my turn to go to the countryside. Recently, the son of a food processing plant director has been pursuing me. If I go to the countryside, how will I marry into their family?"
Shen Lin was the last person in the family who wanted Shen Mu Ning to die. Her time to go to the countryside was fast approaching, and she wasn't sure she'd find a job or get married so quickly. She hadn't originally wanted to tell her family about this suitor; she wanted to see if there were other men with better prospects willing to marry her.
But she also knew that her parents favored boys over girls, and even sending her to high school was to increase her value so she could marry into a good family. Her mother was always one to act only after seeing results; if she didn't tell them about her suitors, her mother would never care about her life or death.
Sure enough, Li Hongmei's expression improved a lot after hearing this, and she repeatedly told her, "Good girl, you must seize the opportunity, but don't agree to him too quickly. At least make some demands. The host family has plenty of money!" Even Shen Guoliang's expression softened a bit.
After giving her instructions, Li Hongmei pushed open the door to the woodshed and entered the room, where she saw Shen Mu Ning still lying on the small, worn-out single bed. She reached out and touched Shen Mu Ning's forehead; the fever had subsided.
"That wretched creature is lucky. It had a fever for two days, and after just one bowl of ginger water, the fever actually broke." Li Hongmei walked out of the room without calling anyone to get up for a meal. They hadn't done any work, and now they wanted to get up for a meal? No way!
Upon hearing this, none of the three, including Shen Guoliang, had any desire to mention Shen Mu Ning again.
Shen Mu Ning was not surprised at all by their behavior, and continued to sit cross-legged in the center of the bed and continue her cultivation.
As night fell and all was quiet, the entire county town slept soundly. Shen Mu Ning took out medicinal powder from her spatial storage and blew it into the rooms through the windows of each house, allowing the four members of the Shen family to sleep even more soundly.
Shen Mu Ning climbed through the window into Shen Guo Liang and his wife's bedroom and first used her psychic abilities on Shen Guo Liang.
She had always been curious. After all, Shen Mu Ning was Shen Guo Liang's niece. Shen Guo Dong had treated Shen Guo Liang well when he was alive. Even Shen Guo Liang's job was bought with Shen Guo Dong's allowance. How could he be so indifferent to Shen Mu Ning and even try to seize his family property?
