Zhijia
"Mother, Grandmother, my cousin's family is building a house. Do you know about this?"
As if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret, Zhi Zhaodi rushed in from outside in a flurry of activity and shock, letting out a sharp, explosive sound.
"My God, how is this possible? How could my cousin have such abilities?"
"Could it be that, like the rumors were circulating a while ago, she's hooked up with some rich guy?"
"My cousin is really something. She has money but doesn't know how to be filial to her grandmother. It's too much."
After Zhi Zhaodi entered, she began to sow discord as usual, her large eyes gleaming with a sinister light.
I felt like I was being overwhelmed by jealousy, and I couldn't accept that someone who was once on the same starting line suddenly seemed so far away.
She desperately hopes that someone will join her in condemning, or even insulting, her kindred spirits, so that perhaps her twisted mind can find some relief.
She had expected that after she finished speaking, it would be like pouring a bucket of cold water into a pot of boiling oil; everyone would be shocked, stand up, and yell at her to cause trouble for her.
Unexpectedly, her grandmother and mother, who were eating, only glanced at her briefly before letting out a deep sigh.
Seeing their calm demeanor, Zhi Zhaodi was completely stunned and utterly incredulous.
"Mother, Grandmother, Grandfather? Did you hear what I said?"
"I said Zhiyin is going to build a house!"
"How can you all be so calm? That's a soulmate!!! That's that money-loser!"
She seemed too shocked and too unwilling to believe it, her voice rising several octaves.
"Tch, we already knew that. You don't need to tell us. It's all over the village."
The eldest aunt glanced at the scheming look in Zhi Zhaodi's eyes with annoyance, and then thought of the capable Zhiyin.
She felt incredibly bittersweet, wishing that such a wonderful confidante was her daughter.
"Instead of wasting your time, why don't you think about why, even though you're both money-losing talents, some people can rise above others while you can only freeload off your family?"
The more her aunt talked, the more she disliked Zhao Di, finding her extremely annoying.
"Alright, alright, just looking at you annoys me. Why don't you hurry up and go catch some wild rabbits and fruits in the back mountain to sell for money?"
"oh…"
Facing her aunt's unfriendly gaze, Zhi Zhaodi pouted in grievance and dared not say anything more. Instead, she quickly ran outside, afraid that she would be beaten at any moment.
"Sigh, do you really think we don't want to cause trouble? It's just that this brat is impervious to both soft and hard approaches! She doesn't even think about her grandmother and aunt when she has money."
"They don't even know how to be filial to us."
Grandmother also said in a sinister tone, she felt so angry that her liver ached.
"They'd rather hire other villagers as laborers, paying them 80 coins a day, than let their own family members help. It's a waste of their resources to raise her!"
"Who can argue with that? If we had known she would be so successful, we shouldn't have separated from the family."
Grandmother glared at Grandfather with a mixture of annoyance and anger, "It's all your fault. I told you not to separate, but you insisted on doing it."
Grandfather just silently smoked his pipe without saying a word, and in an instant his body seemed to hunch over, as if he had aged several years.
"We don't have much money left at home. The rest has to be saved for our son. If things continue like this, we probably won't even have enough to eat."
Seeing her grandfather like this, her grandmother felt a little sorry for him and ultimately didn't say anything more.
I just couldn't help but sigh, not knowing what to do.
For a moment, silence fell over the room.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"By the way, Zhao Di should be turning 15 soon, right? Shouldn't she be getting married by now?"
…
Meanwhile, Zhiyin was busy with her work.
As soon as get out of class ended, Xing Luxi and Mu Lin habitually grabbed their bowls and rushed to the stall where Zhiyin usually set up her business.
When they saw that there was nothing there, their smiling faces instantly fell.
It felt like I went from heaven to hell in an instant, or like I'd been doused with cold water, and I experienced what it meant to feel deep disappointment and despair.
"Ah! Where are Yinyin and Huahua? Could it be that we arrived at the wrong time?"
Mu Lin screamed, and she and Xing Luxi stared at the bowls in their hands, looking at each other in disbelief. Then they glanced at the people around them who were just as bewildered and surprised, staring at the sky and the ground. They felt numb.
"Or have we come to the wrong place?"
"Could something have happened?"
Thinking of the feeling of Zhiyin touching his head before, Xing Luxi couldn't help but blush and feel worried.
His face, which originally had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes and a slightly arrogant look, was all scrunched up with worry, making him look blank.
If a true friend saw this scene, they would definitely want to pat his 'dog's' head.
"No way?"
Mu Lin was also startled. "Could something have happened at home?"
"How about we go to her house to find her after class this afternoon?"
Upon hearing this, Xing Luxi, who was already annoyed, immediately glared at Mu Lin as if he were an idiot.
Do you know where Yinyin lives?
"Even if we knew, we couldn't go. She's an unmarried girl. Wouldn't it ruin her reputation if two grown men went to her house?"
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh. The two of them really didn't know their soulmate; they only knew her name.
While feeling regretful, I resolved to ask for her home address next time.
Otherwise, people wouldn't know where to look. If she disappeared, then...
For some reason, thinking about this, Xing Luxi felt a little panicked.
