Zhou Xiang leaned her head against his neck. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that when my mother encounters something, she will think of dying in glory rather than living in disgrace. I would rather reveal some of the situation to her, let her slowly accept it, let her have confidence in me, and let her stabilize the rear."
"But Aunt Jiang is under too much pressure. Her father and father-in-law have deeper feelings and hatred for them than you do."
"But she's the one in the family who's most likely to know. She found out as soon as I came back. Otherwise, why would she let me do that? And to appease her worries, I performed magic tricks.
I have so many people behind me who need my care, I can't take care of them all, and I don't have the energy to weave lies. Our family is not suited to living in lies, because we have too much to face. Only by struggling in the quagmire like before can we avoid it."
Ling Ran hugged her tightly, "Okay, didn't you say that when enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers and when water comes, we will block it with earth? Don't think about it anymore. What is coming will eventually come. Just wait."
"Um!"
After making the bed, the two went downstairs. Zhou wanted to ask Zhonglan and Xiaoxiao to go upstairs with her. Zhonglan liked the second floor that was specially decorated for her as soon as she saw it. She said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to trouble Miss Zhou."
Zhou Xiang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go and have some rest! We'll call you for dinner."
"good!"
Zhou Xiang took Xiao Xiao up to the third floor and settled her in the second bedroom. "You live in this room, and I'll be in the room next to you. You're not afraid of living alone, are you?"
Xiaoxiao was observing the room curiously. When she heard this question, she shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid. I always sleep alone."
Zhou Xiang felt relieved, as she didn't want to take the "child" to sleep.
"Then you should take a rest too. You must be exhausted after two days of driving."
"good."
She happily opened her small suitcase and packed her clothes.
Zhou Xiang went downstairs. Tian Cheng and Xia Fei had already returned to the single dormitory in the front yard. The guests had been arranged, and the rest were all members of the Zhou family. They went back to their own rooms to rest.
Ling Ran saw her coming down and pointed to the north building.
Zhou Xiang went to the north building and found her mother sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze. She went over and sat down next to her mother. "Mom, what are you thinking about?"
Mother Zhou turned to look at her and said, "I'm really angry. If you had told me earlier, I could have gone to the Jiang family and cursed them to vent my anger."
Zhou Xiang shook his head. "Mom, I didn't dare reveal a single thing. I was holding it in. There's no point scolding him; he doesn't even know it! Why bother trying to wake him up? He won't be able to handle the consequences. His position and financial resources aren't even a fraction of what they have. He can only passively defend himself."
Mother Zhou grabbed her little girl's hand and said, "Think about it. Just tell me what it is. I already know so much. I have to know how powerful the enemy is, right?"
Zhou Xiang gestured for Ling Ran to guard the door. After Ling Ran left the living room, Zhou Xiang whispered, "It's a very old family. He and Old Man Zhou took advantage of their escape and intercepted a shipload of their property. They're literally plucking the hairs from a tiger's head. They'll be back soon. We, the Zhou family, are their common descendants. We had a miserable life in our past life, but now we're doing well. What will they think?"
Mother Zhou's hands trembled. "You'll think all this was earned with the help of those financial resources, right? Don't they investigate? We earned everything for our family, didn't you?"
"But I used the money I earned secretly, so there's no way to find it. Or, even worse, if I do find it, I'll be guilty of possessing a treasure!"
Hearing this, Zhou's mother woke up more than anything else. She realized that her little girl's things were her great blessing and no one could take them away.
Mother Zhou took a deep breath. "Okay! I'll endure it, I'll wait. There's always a way out. I just don't believe this ancient family can be so powerful. Oh, and what about my little brother?"
"I told him, and he can only wait. Anyway, we have plans. Don't worry about it. Just take care of our family."
After being comforted, Zhou's mother cheered up again. She went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. There were many more people in the house.
Father Zhou rested for a while, then went downstairs and helped in the kitchen.
Ling Ran pulled Zhou Xiang into the children's room next to the living room and locked the door. "Let's go train the puppy."
"good!"
The two disappeared into the room and sent Ling Ran to the grassland. Zhou Xiang then returned to the thatched cottage to look at the seeds.
The seed has only grown to about ten centimeters in height, and the space acceleration is almost a hundred times. In more than two months, it would take more than 20 years in the outside world, and it has only grown this little?
She squatted beside the seedling and looked at it, then stood up, got a basin, and fetched well water to water it. Regardless of whether it would work or not, it wouldn't be a bad idea to water it, right?
After pouring water, I can see that the seedlings have grown a little bit. Is it useful?
Zhou wanted to continue watering, but this time there was no response. What happened?
If she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it. These couldn't possibly be ordinary things. If she planted them outside, they probably wouldn't sprout. She carefully watered the entire patch of land and left it alone.
Dahuang wagged its tail again and asked for water. Zhou Xiang pumped out some water and poured it into the basin they had used that day. Dahuang drank it first with Xiaohuang and Rourouqiuqiu, and then looked up at Zhou Xiang.
Zhou Xiang waved the basin in his hand, "Don't worry! They've been tired from training, so we must comfort them."
When Ling Ran dismissed the puppies, Da Huang howled, and the puppies didn't even want the fruit and ran towards Zhou Xiang together.
After the puppies finished drinking the water, they ran back to Ling Ran to get some fruit.
Zhou Xiang teleported to Ling Ran's side, and Ling Ran asked her why Da Huang was howling?
"Why is it howling? It's fighting for the welfare of its offspring! When it saw me drawing water from the well to irrigate the fields, it smirked and demanded to drink, and it also wanted to take its offspring and grandchildren with it."
