When Ma Lihua woke up, it was almost two o'clock. The sky was overcast. She took a deep breath and meditated for one minute... No, it seems she should meditate for 30 seconds from now on!
Back in the day, she could meditate for tens of thousands of years, but now... even a minute feels like torture.
Looking at the kettle by the bed, he reached out and picked it up, then gulped down the ginseng water in one go.
She felt much better now, and after getting dressed and going downstairs, she realized she was a little hungry and should have breakfast by now.
As soon as she went downstairs, she saw her grandma and mom eating something. She went over to take a look and, wow, it was a pig's trotter! It was huge!
She swallowed hard; it was too painful. She couldn't eat anything with braised meat.
"Daughter, here's your breakfast." Li Fagui, wearing an apron, made her a bowl of chicken noodle soup, along with twelve fried eggs and two large chicken legs. The original chicken soup was incredibly flavorful.
"Thank you, Father!" she said obediently.
Uncle Fu, though used to it, couldn't help but twitch his lips. "Have you ever seen anyone eat breakfast in the middle of the day? And Miss Pear Blossom is a girl, how can you use such a big basin? At least use a bowl the size of a basin!"
That's really not fussy at all. Girls should be raised with care and delicacy. It seems that the young master is still a bit lacking in refinement.
Li Zhongguo nodded in satisfaction; his braised pig's trotters were still a favorite of Linghua and his daughter.
Sometimes the servants couldn't help but gossip about how much the old lady, the madam, and the young lady could eat. They wondered how she never seemed to gain weight, which was outrageous.
After the three of them finished eating, the newly hired maid, Wang Ma, quickly went to clear away the dishes.
She fell silent as she looked at the bowls…
This bowl is spotless, so white it practically glows. All the broth inside has been licked clean. It's wonderful; I don't even need to use dish soap, just a quick rinse with water will suffice.
However, no, this is much easier to wash, but the proper procedures still need to be followed, because Uncle Fu is keeping a close eye on Aunt Wang, afraid that she won't wash properly.
Wang Ma; "…………………………"
"It's just a few bowls, isn't it? No need for this?" Her face flushed red. How annoying!
It has to be said that Uncle Fu is still a handsome old man. In his sixties, he still looks energetic, with his hair dyed very black, wearing a well-fitting suit, and his beard and eyebrows are very manly.
He also had a faint, unidentified perfume scent, making him the dream lover of countless women—a charming older man.
Someone like Wang Ma, who's almost forty, would be completely bewildered by Uncle Fu. Who wouldn't love him!
Uncle Fu was speechless. Why was she blushing? It made it seem like he had taken a liking to her.
However, he quickly reminded the old lady that the ox-headed and horse-faced creatures he had raised were incredibly intelligent and looked just like real people.
Horse-faced; "…………………………"
Is this a spiritual manifestation? Is this the true form appearing in spirit?
"Madam, I have already nurtured the spirit within Miss Pear Blossom's artwork. What do you think?"
"Oh! I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Here you go! Let me take a look. From now on, we'll put one on each side of the front door so more people can see my granddaughter's superb skills." Ma Linghua said proudly; her granddaughter was a genius.
Li Zhongguo; "……………………"
Li Fagu; "……………………"
Is it really a bit inappropriate to have ox-headed and horse-faced demons at the main gate?
"Yes, madam." Uncle Fu quickly carried out the Ox-Head and Horse-Face statues. To be honest, even at 182 cm tall, Uncle Fu had some difficulty carrying them; they felt just like real people.
The three of them looked each other over. Ma Lihua stared at Ox-Head and Horse-Face for a long time. Ox-Head and Horse-Face were panicking. They were doomed. Had they discovered them?
Both of them were sweating profusely. Although it was not visible on the paper figures, their souls were about to leave!
"Hmm~ I remember, I didn't put blush on them!" Ma Lihua stared for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face breathed a sigh of relief; they were terrified...
Uncle Fu said somewhat nervously, "I noticed their faces looked stiff, and I thought that adding a little blush would bring out their natural charm, so I did it for them." Uncle Fu was now waiting for his judgment.
“Great, this is wonderful! It looks festive, and placing it at the entrance will make it less frightening,” Ma Hehua said cleverly.
Then she looked up at her mother and thought to herself, "That makes sense."
“That’s right, Uncle Fu, you’re really amazing. You’ve even managed to fill in the gaps.” Ma Lihua nodded in agreement.
After washing the dishes, Wang Ma glanced at the paper figure and felt a chill run down her spine. But after hearing what Uncle Fu said, she took another look and thought, "Hmm! It's really not bad, quite comical." She wasn't scared anymore.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face; "…………………………"
It's hilarious! That pink blush, isn't it just Uncle Fu's twisted sense of humor?
Before the two could leave, they were immediately encased in two glass cases, one on each side of the main entrance. The glass was so thick that even a gun couldn't penetrate it.
To showcase his daughter's artwork, Li Fagui spent ten million yuan on two glass cabinets, five million yuan each, leaving everyone in the villa area who heard even a whisper of it speechless.
"Is he fucking crazy? Five million for a glass dome?" The Zhang family from the neighboring villa were shocked.
"He...has a daughter? That nouveau riche is so stingy, would he really spend money on a broken window? Is he crazy?" The Zhou family in the neighboring villa were also incredulous.
However, they had no choice but to believe it, because they had all seen his mother, wife, and daughter. They secretly glanced at them from afar and saw a strong rural atmosphere.
I've never met them before, and I don't know what their personalities are like. Some wealthy ladies even wanted to make their acquaintances for business purposes, but who knew that these men always went to some low-class places, making them feel embarrassed to go.
Now, Ox-Head and Horse-Face were dumbfounded. They had been living in Uncle Fu's house for a long time, and suddenly they were living in a villa?
That's right, for these two poor guys, this 5 million glass enclosure is like a villa, the kind they could never afford to live in for the rest of their lives.
"Brother Ma... Brother Ma, are we still going?" Niu Tou asked him nervously.
"Leave? Leave my ass! Are you out of your mind? We're living in a villa now, why would we leave! Stay! Let's settle in first! We can cultivate here in this glass... no! This villa." Horse-face almost said "glass," could something worth 5 million really be called glass?
That's definitely not an option; it would be too low-class. This is a villa, a high-end, elegant, and classy villa; it could be called a crystal dome villa.
Bull's head; "…………………………"
This horse-faced demon changes his tune way too fast! He's the one who said he wanted to leave, and he's the one who said he wanted to stay, so why is he so indecisive!
So, in the Ma family villa, two underworld messengers acted as door gods, one on each side. Now, Uncle Fu didn't need to nurture the spirit anymore; it grew on its own, becoming more and more like a real person.
Uncle Fu was upset. Those two were ungrateful wretches; he had taken such good care of them.
Ox-Head and Horse-Face; "…………………………"
Just see through it but don't say anything; don't push your luck.
