Hey! Grandpa~
Xia Shizhao suddenly appeared at Grandpa Mu's door and shouted. Grandpa Mu, who was leisurely drinking tea and reading a book, was taken aback at first, then turned to look at her with a face full of surprise and said, "You little girl, you've been hiding your aura so well for half a month?"
Xia Shizhao was satisfied knowing that her grandfather hadn't discovered her. She had tried to secretly take her grandfather's body before, but he found out immediately.
"I trained with tears and sweat, hahaha~"
Xia Shizhao put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and laughed loudly.
After having dinner at Ye Qiuling's house that day, she hesitated for a long time before asking Ye Qiuling if she could spar with her.
On the first day, Ye Qiuling ruthlessly pinned her to the ground, rendering her unable to move. For the next two weeks, Ye Qiuling continued to beat her mercilessly, giving her a brutal beating every day. Xia Shizhao's confidence was almost completely crushed.
But hard work pays off. After countless trials and tribulations, she can now hold her own against Ye Qiuling for a few dozen moves. With more practice, defeating her will be just around the corner. Xia Shizhao imagined herself beating up Ye Qiuling, a smug smile playing on her lips.
Suddenly, a powerfully piercing voice struck her brain: "Zhao Zhao!"
The grandfather and grandson both looked towards the direction of the loud voice. Mu Tong, with his hair all frizzy and his eyes slightly dark, rushed out, gently waving a potion in his left hand. His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement: "I've figured out the potion you wanted to strengthen pheromone resistance!!!"
After saying that, Xia Shizhao looked at the medicine in her mother's hand with a pleading expression, then suddenly hugged her and spun her around: "Wow, Mom is so amazing!!! Mom, you're a genius among geniuses!"
"...That sounds like a mix of praise and criticism."
After a moment of excitement, Mu Tong calmed down and fell into deep thought upon hearing her beloved daughter's praise.
"No way!"
Xia Shizhao cooed in a sweet voice, still holding Mu Tong firmly in her arms.
Realizing what had happened, Mu Tong blushed as she realized she had acted like a child seeking praise from her daughter. She patted her daughter's hand softly, "Put Mom down, why are you so unsteady?"
"I was so excited to hear the good news from Mom!"
Xia Shizhao lowered his head slightly, looking at his mother with a mischievous grin.
The adorable Mu Tong cupped Xia Shizhao's cheeks in her hands and squished them, "How many bottles do you want? If it's not many, Mom will make them tonight and you can take them over."
"Thirty bottles."
Xia Shizhao blinked. There aren't many people yet, so the quantity is small. Later, when there are more people, relying solely on his mother won't be enough, but he will make the medicine himself.
The medicinal herbs include snake skin.
I rubbed my forehead, feeling a headache coming on. Oh well, I'll think about it later.
“Only thirty,” Mu Tong nodded. “Not many.”
Xia Shizhao, with a fawning expression, pushed Mu Tong to sit on the sofa, massaging his shoulders and back with practiced ease.
I learned it from Liu Ruxuan, because that's how she asked her for help.
"Did Ruxuan teach you that?"
Mutong immediately felt the immersive enjoyment of the head massage.
"Yes, she said she used to massage her elders like this. Last time she massaged me, I felt very comfortable, so I asked her to teach me. I learned it especially for you guys. I'll go massage Grandma later."
"Where's Grandpa? Doesn't Grandpa have any?" Grandpa Mu asked from the side, his face full of resentment.
"Grandpa, you can punch monsters and kick insectoids, you don't need a massage, do you?" Xia Shizhao chuckled, but still walked over to him and massaged his shoulders.
Grandma Shu came downstairs and slapped Grandpa Mu on the head. Her words were full of disgust, but her eyes were full of teasing: "Why did you ask Zhao Zhao to massage you? If anyone's going to massage you, it'll be me. You're all muscle. Your grandson will hurt your hands if he massages you."
"Hahahaha." Mu Tong laughed mercilessly from the side. Grandpa Mu pointed at Grandma Shu and Xia Shizhao and tattled, "Zhaozhao, look, your grandma bullies me every day!"
"Where? I don't see it."
As he spoke, Xia Shizhao blinked, feigning ignorance.
"You're all in cahoots, you're all bullying me."
Grandpa Mu glared at the three people who were covering their mouths and secretly laughing.
Grandma Shu patted his hand with a smile, "Alright, good boy, stop hitting the basin."
He stroked Grandpa Mu's head gently and gave him a kiss.
Grandpa Mu's expression softened instantly, his eyes filled with love for his beloved.
She's too easy to please.
Xia Shizhao and his mother exchanged a glance and almost burst out laughing. Grandma and Mom were teasing Grandpa and Dad like they were teasing a dog.
"Are you busy today?" Mu Tong asked Xia Shizhao beside her with a happy smile in her eyes.
Xia Shizhao shook his head, "I just happened to have nothing to do today, so I came to see you all."
"Okay, after Mom changes her clothes, I'll take her shopping this afternoon."
As Mu Tong spoke, he quickly ran upstairs.
Xia Shizhao glanced at his grandparents, who were deeply in love, and followed his mother upstairs with great tact.
Only then did I realize that Yushu was not there.
After her mother finished changing her clothes, Xia Shizhao asked curiously, "Where's Mom?"
After changing into a light blue dress, Mu Tong took Xia Shizhao's arm and said, "I don't know. She's always so mysterious sometimes. A few days ago she told me she had to go out for a while and might not be back for three to five days. Never mind her, let's go out for a walk."
"Okay, sure."
Upon reaching the underground parking garage, Mu Tong pressed the car key, and Xia Shizhao drove. Mu Tong sat in the passenger seat, chatting away with Xia Shizhao while looking out the window at the scenery.
As the vehicle entered the street, Mu Tong looked at the increasing flow of people and the bustling little street, and exclaimed, "It's been so long since I've come out to see the world. This place has become so much more prosperous, and there are so many snacks!"
"Do you want to eat? If so, let's go to the parking lot first."
"Let's eat!"
Mu Tong's nose twitched as she smelled the enticing aroma of barbecue wafting from the roadside, and she readily agreed.
"Do you want to get off here or come with me to the parking lot?"
"I'll get off here to buy some food first. You should be able to find me soon."
"good."
After Xia Shizhao and his mother got out of the car, they turned around and went to the nearest parking lot, which was only a three-minute walk away and very convenient.
After parking the car and turning off the engine, Xia Shizhao looked at the group of people gathered around the barbecue stall and felt a little strange. It seemed that someone was arguing. When she went over, she found that it was her mother and an old woman.
"Let go of me! Who's your wife? Where did you come from, you rotten scallion pancake! Your face is so big! With your ugly appearance, how good-looking can your child be! You want to marry a wife as beautiful as me! You don't have a mirror at home, but you must pee! What, is your pee matte?!"
Mu Tong, lacking the strength to pry open the old, bark-like hand she was holding, continued to verbally attack the pitiful-looking old woman crying before her. The accusations from those around her made her cheeks flush with anger: "You think crying makes you right! Wait until my daughter comes and she'll teach you a lesson!!!"
Xia Shizhao grabbed the old woman's hand and pulled it off his mother's body, his eyes darkening. "Grandma, what proof do you have that she's your son's wife? If you don't have proof, don't lay a hand on me!"
Mu Tong suddenly realized what was happening, pretending not to recognize her, and tightly hugged Xia Shizhao's arm with both hands: "Good boy, this person is a complete lunatic! She grabs an aunt and calls her 'wife,' she's got a problem with her brain, or if she's not, she's a human trafficker."
The old woman, now caught, stared wide-eyed, her eyes blazing with anger. "Children, don't cause trouble! My daughter-in-law is a philanderer, always having affairs and never clean! If you let her go, I'll make you pay!"
Xia Shizhao narrowed his cat-like eyes slightly, let out a cold snort, and slapped the incessantly chattering old woman across the face. "Old thing, who gave you permission to talk about my mother like that? She's so ugly it's like a miscarriage of justice. You want a daughter-in-law like my mother? You must have water in your brain that you can't get rid of even after a year of sloshing around."
"Ah! Someone's been hit! Someone's been hit! Someone's been hit in broad daylight! My daughter-in-law is having an affair, and now she's even getting people to beat me up!"
The old woman sat on the ground and wailed loudly.
"This old woman is so pitiful. Not only did her daughter-in-law cheat on her, but she also got beaten up."
"They look like decent people, but they do all sorts of immoral things."
"Not necessarily. This old lady doesn't seem like the kind of person who could afford to marry that aunt."
"Exactly, can't you even recognize your granddaughter?"
"Maybe he's that woman's illegitimate child."
"Can't you think of it in a better light? You're just giving people that reputation for cheating."
"You're so sure someone's cheating just from a few words, without even seeing it with your own eyes."
"Exactly, does that mean whoever cries the most is right?"
The area was packed with people, who were arguing amongst themselves.
Xia Shizhao glanced at the loudest people who were cursing, and only looked away with satisfaction when he saw them shut up in fear.
Holding the old woman firmly with one hand, he dialed the Star Police with the other, warning the old woman who was trying to run away: "Don't go now, we're going to the Star Police Station."
The old woman's shouting had subsided considerably, "Don't wash your dirty linen in public! Do you want me to die?! Do you believe I'll run myself over in the street?"
After giving the location, Xia Shizhao hung up the phone, sneered, let go of the hand, pointed to the wall next to him, and said disdainfully, "Come on, go crash into it and die. I can afford to pay for it anyway."
The old woman stood up and tried to run, but how could she possibly outrun Xia Shizhao? In just a few moments, Xia Shizhao caught up with her and pinned her down. When someone around her tried to talk to Xia Shizhao, she pulled out her work ID.
Everyone fell silent.
Xia Shizhao held her hand with one hand: "You have to come to the Star Police Station with me today. I want to see how many 'daughters-in-law' you can catch using this method."
After taking the statement, Xia Shizhao realized that the old man was actually a middle-aged man. He had used this method to kidnap many young women. Because Mu Tong did not have a bite stopper, she thought she was a beta, which is why she dared to come up and slander her. She evaded capture many times by using a disguise potion.
"You're really angry. You came all the way to the Star Police Station just to have some fun."
Mu Tong sat in the lounge, pouting and muttering to herself.
"It was quite a magical experience, going on a shopping spree to appease my unhappy mother?"
Xia Shizhao chuckled and moved closer to Mu Tong.
"Xiaotong?"
A male voice suddenly rang out, and Mu Tong turned her head to look. Her previous coquettish demeanor with her daughter instantly returned to calm and composure.
Xia Shizhao looked over and said, "Hmm."
A mature man with a tall and upright figure, regular features, wearing a police uniform and exuding righteousness, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.
"Wife!"
Yu Shu, who had come looking for her wife by following the scent, found someone she hated and found incredibly annoying.
"It's you?!"
You're still alive?
Both sides were quite surprised.
Ignoring them, Mu Tong covered her face and pulled her daughter, "Zhao Zhao, let's go quickly."
After saying that, he grabbed Xia Shizhao and ran away from the tense Star Police Station.
Xia Shizhao asked, bewildered, "What's wrong?"
"Children shouldn't concern themselves with adult matters. Let's go shopping." Mu Tong's expression was inscrutable.
Xia Shizhao was completely confused.
I followed my mother around like a ghost, and after buying everything, we rushed home.
