Like a bolt from the blue, Ji Xiaoxiao was shocked, her mind blank for a moment.
Qian Cai secretly spied on the Bai family members. In the blink of an eye, Tie Aimei took the twins back for a few days, saying that there was no shady business or problem. No one would believe that.
The twins are now five years old, just the time when their past lives' abilities to turn lead into gold will be on full display. The fact that they're now eyeing the twins for money suggests their scheme has been exposed.
If outsiders were to learn of the existence of the Midas touch in this idealistic world, the twins would surely be in grave danger. While Ji Xiaoxiao's strength surpasses all others and is unparalleled in the world, it is still insufficient to deter a nation or even the entire world.
Three years have passed. Ji Xiaoxiao is exceptionally intelligent, and the original owner of this body possesses extraordinary physical attributes. She has already reached the Great Perfection of the Eighth Stage of the Tranquil Mind Realm in cultivating the "White Lotus Sacred Technique." Given the right opportunity, she will either remain silent or astonishingly achieve great success, like a phoenix spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.
"If I can't solve the money problem for now, I should at least use Soul-Stealing and Mind-Forgetting Technique on it. How can I let it do whatever it wants with me!" Ji Xiaoxiao thought with great frustration as she ran.
A martial arts master with unparalleled lightness skills, Ji Xiaoxiao swiftly arrived at Qian Cai and Tie Aimei's house. With a leap, she scaled the wall, holding her breath and carefully making her way towards Qian Cai, one step at a time, moving quietly and steadily.
An hour earlier, a sudden storm struck, its fierce force startling many.
"You two hurry up and turn this into gold." Qian Cai held a dark red brick in his hand and presented it to the twins, whose tear stains were still wet.
The twins' brows furrowed like stale buns as they stared blankly at the beaming Qian Cai, then looked up at the astonished Tie Aimei, asking softly and in confusion, "Mom?"
Qian Cai winked at Tie Aimei, signaling her to say something to coax those two brats. Tie Aimei bit her lip, shook her head, and silently refused Qian Cai.
"What do you mean by shaking your head? Are you rejecting me? Oh, is that so? Rejecting me? Are you just asking for a beating?" Qian Cai casually slapped Tie Aimei across the face, cursing, "If I don't beat you for three days, you'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles; if I don't beat you for two days, you'll feel uncomfortable all over. You despicable wretch, you dare to disobey me? Who gave you the guts?"
Throughout her life, Tie Aimei was used to being submissive. At home, she obeyed her father; after marriage, she obeyed her husband; after her husband's death, she obeyed her father again; and in her second marriage, she married for money. The husband is the wife's heaven; women are inherently weak, but become strong when they become mothers. Tie Aimei wasn't clever, but she knew the strangeness of the twins and that no one should ever find out.
For the sake of two innocent children, Tie Aimei defied the heavens above her for the first time.
"Are you going to listen to me or not?" Qian Cai asked again in disbelief, only to be met with Tie Aimei's silent rejection.
Ha, a woman dares to defy me, the great one, Qian Cai thought to himself. Normally, Qian Cai always occupies the high ground, issuing orders from above. But now that his soldiers are disobeying orders, it's already a great mercy that he hasn't killed them with a single sword stroke.
"I'll beat you to death, you treacherous, slutty woman!" With Qian Cai's furious roar, a dazzling array of blind fists and feet rained down like high-speed raindrops.
Tie Aimei silently endured the rage and beatings caused by the money, her eyes, filled with unwavering love, fixed on Bai Yiliufeng and Bai Yiliuyun. Three years had passed; it had been so long since she had properly looked at her son. Seeing him grow up, Tie Aimei realized how terribly wrong she had been.
"Go talk to them and tell them to turn these bricks into gold." Having vented most of her anger, Qian Cai grabbed Tie Aimei's hair and glared at her.
Tie Aimei coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Brother Cai, how can a brick turn into gold? Don't make things difficult for the child. If you want to hit or scold him, just come at me."
"I wasn't mistaken, they turned stones into gold," Qian Cai insisted.
Tie Aimei said he knew nothing about money. But he clearly saw those two brats holding a stone, which, damn it, instantly turned into glittering gold. Although he was a drunkard and gambler for years, and his mind was clouded, he was certain he hadn't seen wrong.
"Brother Cai, you must be mistaken. How can a person turn a stone into gold?" Tie Aimei answered cautiously, trying not to provoke Cai into a fit of rage.
Money isn't like iron, it doesn't care about anything, and it says recklessly, "I don't care. I'll give you one day. If this brick can't turn into gold, I'll starve you to death and turn you into corpses."
"I mean what I say." When someone is chasing me for debt, I don't have as many concerns about money anymore.
As Ji Xiaoxiao approached, she heard the threat of money.
"You mean what you say? I mean what I say. If you dare to harm my family today, I'm afraid you won't be spared." A cold voice echoed in the somewhat cramped hall.
"Sister." Having spent three years together, the twins were extremely familiar with Ji Xiaoxiao's voice.
Ji Xiaoxiao kicked open the tightly closed door. Seeing that the twins had no injuries, but Tie Aimei was covered in wounds, Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and guessed what had happened.
A biological mother and child are a biological mother and child. They may not have much interaction or communication in daily life, and may seem cold, indifferent, and distant. However, if the child is in trouble, the mother will still step forward to help.
"Qian Cai, you really don't value your life." Ji Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze and stared directly at Qian Cai.
Ji Xiaoxiao's figure was like a mirage. One second, she was at the gate, speaking coldly against the light. The next second, space distorted, and Ji Xiaoxiao was already in front of the money.
Strike unexpectedly, catching him off guard. Ji Xiaoxiao formed a claw with one hand, tightly gripping Qiancai's neck, her voice barely audible. Qiancai struggled to breathe, his face flushed, his limbs flailing wildly in mid-air. His bulging eyes and bewildered expression were filled with the terror of death.
