Chapter 5 The Brat



It was quite unpleasant at the time. Xu Fen, seeing that Ye Zhiyu was so rich, said directly, "Since you're so rich, I won't build it. I'll stay at your place."

These words completely stunned the original owner. Her family pampered her like a princess, and everyone in the military compound fawned over her. No one dared to take advantage of her; she had never seen anyone like this before.

But Li Xi, who had just been reborn, was playing the good guy, saying that everyone should help each other when they get together, and that those who are capable should take on more responsibility.

Could the original owner of this body tolerate this?

It turned into a huge scene, but Lu Weimin mediated it, and it ended with Xu Fen moving into the mud-brick house that the former educated youth had lived in, and the village providing some simple repairs for free.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhiyu sighed that things would get lively in the future.

However, she quickly entered a meditative state and had no time to think about the excitement.

......

Meanwhile, Lu Chen had just arrived home when a feather duster was thrown at him.

Lu Chen calmly dodged to the side, letting the feather duster fall to the ground, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"You brat, you finally decided to come back?"

Lu Chen's mother, Tian Hongfang, stood in the main room with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at him.

Most people would have already rushed over to comfort her, taking the blame for themselves regardless of whether it was their fault or not.

Lu Chen is different. From childhood to adulthood, once he has made up his mind, no one can change it. If you disagree, he won't argue with you; he'll just quietly get things done.

By the time you realize it, it's too late. No amount of scolding or beating will help; they'll just do it again next time.

Tian Hongfang was furious, but he casually remarked, "This is my home too."

Tian Hongfang took a deep breath and muttered, "Don't get angry, don't get angry, getting angry will make you sick and no one can take your place."

She pointed at him and said, "Fine, fine, this is your home. So, what did you say to the girl when we set her up on a blind date a little over a month ago? Did you say she was ugly?"

Lu Chen frowned as he tried to recall the scene, but he couldn't remember what the girl looked like. He guessed she was ugly.

He nodded silently.

Tian Hongfang was so angry that she jumped up and down. "The girl has willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and is very pretty. She is not ugly at all. She went home and cried. How many times has this happened? Now matchmakers avoid me when they see me."

Looking around the room for something useful, Lu silently picked up a feather duster and handed it over.

Tian Hongfang stared at the feather duster and then at her son's expressionless face, and immediately burst into laughter in anger.

He grabbed it, lifted it up, and said, "You think I wouldn't dare hit you?"

Lu Chen pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "No, I was just afraid you'd get sick from being angry. It's okay for you to vent your anger on me." After all, she was his mother.

Tian Hongfang gritted her teeth, thinking, "What a tragedy! How could I have given birth to such a stubborn son? Even my eldest son isn't like this."

He sighed, put the things he was holding on the table, and turned to sit down.

Try to calm yourself down. "So tell me, what kind of person do you like? You're 24 this year, 25 by the Chinese age reckoning, and before you know it, you'll be 26, 27, 28, almost 29, and nearly 30. My son, when your father was 24, your older brother was already two years old, and you were almost born."

He then slapped his thigh hard, saying, "Look at everyone in the brigade who's your age, who isn't married yet?"

Lu Chen sighed and rubbed his temples with his thumb. He didn't want to go home because of this. As soon as he came back, he started nagging about it, and every time he did, he felt like he was about to die.

Helpless, she said, "Mom, there's nothing suitable."

"What is suitable? What does suitable look like? Tell me, and I'll marry a fairy godmother from heaven for you."

Lu Chen inexplicably recalled Ye Zhiyu's captivating eyes from earlier, which seemed to be filled with nothing but him when she stared at him.

When Tian Hongfang didn't get a reply for a while, she looked up and saw her son staring at the ground.

He got up, walked over, and waved his hand in front of his eyes. "I'm asking you a question, what are you daydreaming about?"

Lu Chen snapped out of his daze. "I'll let you know when I have something to say."

Before Tian Hongfang could say anything, Lu Chen interrupted her, saying, "I'm going to help Dad with the chores."

He strode out, ignoring his mother's calls from behind.

"Hey, hey, come back here, you brat."

......

As the sun sets in the west, it paints the sky red.

As the colorful sunset painted the sky, everyone finished their work. After a long day's work, they slowly walked back to the warehouse, hoes in hand.

After returning the farm tools, they hurried home. The children, who had been playing wildly all day, now followed listlessly beside their parents.

Ye Zhiyu finally emerged from her meditation, opened her eyes, threw off the covers, and got up to stretch her limbs.

He frowned slightly. This time, he had no spiritual energy left in his body. The Hundred Treasures Pill had repaired his internal injuries, but his external injuries had not healed at all.

The headache was that there was no spiritual energy fluctuation in the air, and she couldn't enter the mustard seed space. It must be a restriction placed by the Heavenly Dao Father to prevent her from being lazy. How annoying! Ye Zhiyu couldn't help but pout.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and rub my temples; the pain in the back of my head made my temples throb.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, followed by Liu Shengnan's awkward voice, "Ye Zhiyu?"

Ye Zhiyu got out of bed and opened the door.

Liu Shengnan stood at the door with a thermos in her hand, her face expressionless. "Miss, everyone is waiting for you. If you come any later, the food will get cold."

He handed her the thermos he was holding, saying, "Here, I saved some hot water for you. Wash your face; you look terrible."

They meant to be caring, but they had to say it in such an obnoxious way.

Ye Zhiyu had a headache and wasn't in the mood to argue with her, knowing she wasn't a bad person.

He thanked her, took the thermos, and walked to the table.

Liu Shengnan was puzzled that Ye Zhiyu hadn't retorted and had even said thank you? Usually, her little mouth would chatter on and on, never letting anyone off the hook.

Looking at her in astonishment, she thought, "She got hit with a stick, and it even fixed her head?"

Ye Zhiyu opened the closet and took out a set of clothes.

Turning around, I saw Liu Shengnan still at the door, with a strange expression on her face.

"I need to change my clothes. Are you coming in or leaving?"

Ye Zhiyu pointed to the room door, indicating that she was going to close it.

"Oh, oh." Liu Shengnan snapped out of her daze and closed the door.

Back in the kitchen, still thinking about Ye Zhiyu's reaction, Wu Wenwen asked, "What's wrong?"

She shook her head and said nothing.

Ye Zhiyu tidied herself up and came to the kitchen. Everyone couldn't take their eyes off her. The girl who used to be as fiery as a chili pepper was now wearing a bandage on her head and her face was slightly pale.

Yet it showed no signs of illness; instead, it possessed a unique, delicate beauty, as fragile as porcelain, making one want to cherish it.

Fu Tingshen also forgot about the unpleasantness of the day and looked at her with a slightly infatuated expression.

Li Xi couldn't help but clench her fists, her nails digging into her palms. She lowered her head, her face filled with a sinister expression.

During this time, she worked desperately to complete the system's tasks, constantly absorbing Ye Zhiyu's luck to gain beauty and put on a mask of gentleness and innocence, which barely managed to make Fu Tingshen favor her.

She continued to reinforce everyone's impression of Ye Zhiyu as arrogant, domineering, and unreasonable.
