"Oh God, my Sangui has woken up! How are you feeling? Does your body still hurt?"
When Granny Wang called her in, Tian Sangui was fast asleep in the rocking chair.
"Take her home and let her get some rest. She'll be fine when she wakes up!"
Looking at her daughter sleeping peacefully, Zhang felt a weight lift from her shoulders.
Now that Tian Sangui has woken up, the bruises have disappeared, and even his spirits have improved. Zhang can finally rest easy.
"Mom, I feel much better, and my body doesn't hurt anymore."
Perhaps it was because the fog had been cleared, but Tian Sangui felt that his body was indeed much lighter than before.
Zhang smiled happily: "Everyone says that Granny Wang is an enlightened shaman, and seeing her today, it's indeed true. In three days, Mother will prepare a generous gift to thank her properly."
The sorceress Wang promised Zhang that she could cure her daughter, and Zhang naturally had to keep her promise. As long as her daughter was safe and free from evil spirits, she was willing to spend any amount of money.
Seeing that they were almost at the village entrance, Tian Sangui insisted on walking back himself: "Mother, I'll walk back myself for the last few steps. Aren't you going to your aunt's house? It'll be dark soon."
Zhang wanted to take her home and then go to Zhangjia Village, but seeing that she insisted on walking back by herself, Zhang had no choice but to comply.
"Go back and get some rest. Your father and brothers are in the fields, so don't worry about them. Wait for your mother to come back and cook dinner."
"Why!"
Tian Sangui obediently agreed and then walked steadily toward his home.
After glancing at her a few more times, Zhang drove his donkey cart at breakneck speed to Zhangjia Village.
As they passed the big locust tree, Wang Erwa jumped out from behind the thick trunk and landed in front of Tian Sangui.
"Hey, San Gui, where are you going?"
Tian Sangui, who was still deep in thought, looked up and saw it was him. Too lazy to pay attention, he walked past Wang Erwazi.
Seeing that Tian Sangui was about to leave, he once again strode forward and blocked her way.
Tian Sangui frowned, looking at him with a displeased expression: "What's up?"
"Hehe, this is for you!"
He opened his right palm, revealing a small white daisy lying in his dark hand, a stark contrast to the color of his hand.
It turns out I was going to give her flowers. Although I don't like this Wang Erwazi, what girl wouldn't be charmed by clean and lovely little flowers?
She reached out and picked up a flower, holding it to her nose to smell it. The faint chrysanthemum fragrance seemed to have a magical power, soothing her restless heart.
She even found Wang Erwazi, who was standing right in front of her, less annoying now.
"Hehe, if you like it, I'll pick more for you tomorrow. This flower is just as beautiful as you!"
His silly appearance made Tian Sangui unable to help but laugh.
It's rare to see this guy with such a tender side, besides eavesdropping on gossip, slacking off, and raiding bird nests all day.
Why?
Wang Erwazi is good at prying into walls, so why not ask him to help find out about Tian Laosan and confirm the reality of the dream?
"Wang Erwazi, I need your help with something. Are you willing?"
Help? Sure, he was just worried about not having such an opportunity to get close to Tian Sangui.
"I'll do whatever you tell me to do. It's too formal to ask for help."
Wang Erwa was overjoyed and told Tian Sangui not to stand on ceremony with him.
Tian Sangui took out ten copper coins from his sleeve and handed them to him.
"Could you inquire about my third uncle for me? I heard he's been getting close to a big restaurant owner lately. Could you help me find out if it's true? Consider this ten coins a tip. I won't be home this morning, so you can come find me at Jue Wei Zhai across from the school!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Erwazi was immediately delighted. He could make so much money just by listening to gossip; this was a piece of cake for him.
"Just give me two coins, it's not that much for such a small matter."
He then returned eight coins to Tian Sangui. In families like his, children don't see money before they reach adulthood.
Even if Tian Sangui didn't give him money, he would still be happy to help her, but he really couldn't bear not taking the money, since money is a huge temptation for people of any age.
Tian Sangui could tell that he wanted it but was too embarrassed to say so.
"Take it. This matter can't be resolved in a day or two, and I'll be troubling you again afterward!"
Only after Tian Sangui said that did Wang Erwazi dare to accept it with a clear conscience; his excitement was beyond what he could control.
"Hehe, San Gui, you're so kind. Don't worry, I'll find out everything about your third uncle, no matter how big or small. Just wait at home for my good news!"
After saying that, Wang Erwazi turned around and ran out of the village entrance, as if he wanted to go to the town now.
That Wang Erwazi should at least have said goodbye to his family before leaving.
Then he thought about it again. He remembered his mother talking about him before. He would be gone for two or three days at a time. Over time, his family got used to it and started to raise Wang Erwazi in a free-range manner.
Back home, Tian Sangui lay on his bed and sorted through his thoughts. He planned to go to town the next day to tell Manager Yan and Steward Li about the matter.
It's always better to have two people handle things than to have one person take care of everything.
And we hope that Tian Laosan will not do anything reckless and will stop as soon as possible to save his life.
But how could Tian Laosan, faced with gold, bear to give up such a good deal?
He is now planning to divorce Liu, whom he finds repulsive.
As the sun set, Zhang drove his donkey cart back to the village, bumping into the fathers and sons who were also heading home after work.
Tian Laosi asked Zhang's daughter how her condition was.
“I look much better, and my complexion has returned to normal. I went to my sister-in-law’s house and told her that my two nephews should go to town with San Gui to help out tomorrow. My sister-in-law agreed without hesitation.”
Seeing Zhang's relaxed expression, Tian Laosi felt relieved. His daughter had been busy making money lately and got up early in the morning, so it was inevitable that she might encounter something unclean.
"That's good. I'll take them to town tomorrow morning and then come back. It's dark in the morning, and it's not good to be without an adult around!"
Zhang understood Tian Laosi's intentions, so she nodded and took a deep breath.
When I arrived at my doorstep, I could smell the aroma of cooking oil filling the yard even before I opened the door.
Zhang knew this girl was dishonest.
As the last batch of sour soup was being made in the kitchen, he heard the sound of the gate in the yard, so he went out of the kitchen.
"Father, Mother, Brother, and Brother, you're back! The meal is ready. Wash your hands and get ready to serve the dishes!"
Tian Laosi and his sons listened with smiles as she called for dinner, while Zhang pretended to be angry with her.
"You! I told you to rest well and wait for Mom to come back and cook, but you just wouldn't listen!"
Zhang took the wooden spoon from her hand with a pained expression, then switched hands and pretended to slap Tian Sangui hard on the backside.
Consider it punishment for her disobedience.
"Hehe, Mom, I'm perfectly fine. How can I stand not being able to move? It's just cooking a meal. Compared to Dad and my brothers working in the fields all day, it's so much easier."
"Don't be angry, look, I made your favorite water spinach, and twice-cooked pork with green peppers. You've had a long day, let's eat!"
Looking at the three bowls, two plates, and a soup bowl on the stove, Zhang was already craving a delicious aroma from the kitchen.
"You're so sweet-talking! Don't you dare do it again. If you disobey your mother again, I'll teach you a lesson!"
While she was saying she was going to teach Tian Sangui a lesson, she was secretly overjoyed that her Sangui was finally fully recovered.
