“This…” Ugly Aunt didn’t want Xiaoman’s family to go to Chongling’s house: “Sister Wang, let’s eat at my house. My mother and my sisters-in-law have already prepared the dishes.”
Xiaoman smiled. "My daughter wants to go to his house and play with that little panda."
"Alright then. Come back after you finish eating. My mother has already tidied up the house for you."
"Okay." Xiaoman stood up from her chair. "Then I'll go thank your mother and your sisters-in-law."
"Need not."
"Of course. I'm planning to take the kids into the mountains this afternoon. Would you like to come with us?"
"I won't go. I'm afraid I'll cause you trouble." Ever since learning that Xiaoman was looking for someone skilled in raising Gu poison, Chougu had been on edge. Chougu also knew that Xiong Lin was interested in her because of her business acumen. If Chongling helped Xiaoman's relative remove the Gu poison... Knowing that Xiaoman was taking the children into the mountains that afternoon, Chougu wanted to use the afternoon to carefully consider what to do next.
Xiaoman thanked Chougu's mother and sisters-in-law and then led Hanbin and the children into the mountains. Before entering the mountains, Xiaoman and Hanbin took Naonao, Tengteng, and their older sister to visit the village chief. They asked if they were allowed to enter the mountains. After learning that it was allowed, Hanbin then asked the village chief about the customs and etiquette for entering the mountains in their area.
After clarifying the situation, Xiaoman led Han Bin and the children into the mountains.
Not long after entering the mountains, Xiaoman and his companions spotted an adult giant panda sitting on the ground eating bamboo.
Xiaoman looked up at the sky. Damn it, this morning I just told your lazy daughter to learn about adult giant pandas, and this afternoon you've delivered an adult giant panda right in front of her.
The older sister looked at the giant panda curiously. "Mom, if I were to raise pandas, would I need to find a special plot of land to plant bamboo for them?"
"Yes. Adult pandas have a huge appetite. You'll have to plant a large bamboo grove for them."
"Then... I'll come here to see them when I miss them."
"Hmm." Xiaoman looked at the surrounding green mountains and clear waters: "This is their home. Here, they are free. And only here can you know what a real giant panda is like."
Xiaoman led everyone on a tour of the mountains for just one hour when they encountered eight giant pandas.
When they encountered the eighth giant panda, Xiaoman couldn't help but glare at the sky again.
Whether it was because they felt embarrassed by Xiaoman's glare or because they thought her daughter had seen enough, Xiaoman and her friends didn't encounter any more giant pandas for the next hour.
After wandering around for a while, Xiaoman led everyone down the mountain. On the way down, Xiaoman had Naonao and Tengteng catch two pheasants and two rabbits.
Back in the village, Xiaoman asked Naonao to deliver a pheasant and a rabbit to Chougu's family. After Naonao returned, Xiaoman led everyone to Chongling's house.
Xiong Lin had been waiting at home ever since he learned that Xiao Man was coming over for dinner. As soon as Xiao Man and her family arrived at the door, Xiong Lin saw them through the window.
As soon as Xiaoman stepped across the threshold, Xiong Lin came out of the house. "Hello, Boss Wang!"
Chong Ling also came out of the house. "Little sister, come inside."
Xiaoman smiled. "Okay."
After sitting down inside, the older sister noticed that Yueyue wasn't there and asked, "Auntie, where did Yueyue go?"
"I went out to play." Actually, he was kicked out by Chong Ling to go find Gu. "You guys chat. I'll go cook for you."
The older sister stood up from the chair. "Auntie, I'll do it with you."
Chong Ling: "No need. Auntie can manage on her own."
Xiaoman: "How can we let you cook for yourself when so many of us are coming to your house for dinner?"
Sister: "Yes, Auntie. If you don't let me cook for you, I'll feel bad eating it after you've finished cooking."
"Then...then you can do it with me."
"Why."
As soon as Chong Ling and her sister left, Xiong Lin asked Xiao Man, "Boss Wang, is business good these days?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Those who made money think it's easy. Those who lost money think it's difficult."
"So what kind of business can make money now?"
"As long as you manage it well, you can make money in any business."
Han Bin knew after a couple of sentences that Xiao Man didn't want to talk to Xiong Lin. Han Bin also felt that Xiong Lin had gone a bit mad. "My wife is right. I heard that there were two people doing the same business. One made a fortune, while the other lost so much that he could barely afford to eat."
Nao Nao: "My classmate saw others making money in business, so he secretly took money from home to start his own business. He ended up getting swindled out of everything. Later..."
Just as it was almost time to eat, Yueyue brought the little panda back.
As soon as the little panda saw Nao Nao, it ran over and hugged Nao Nao's leg.
Chong Ling was about to start dinner when she saw Chong Yue return. But as soon as she came in, she saw the little panda clinging to Nao Nao's leg again.
When Xiaoman saw Chongling come in, she pointed to the little panda on Naonao's lap and said, "Sometimes, animals are smarter than people."
Chong Ling paused for a moment, then said, "Yes. The food is ready, let's eat."
After finishing their meal, Xiaoman and her friends sat for a while before saying goodbye.
After Xiaoman and the others left, Chongling asked Xionglin, "You know, those two kids look exactly alike, so why does Yueyue's little panda only like one of them?"
"It might be because they smell different."
"odor?"
"Um."
In the middle of the night, Xiong Lin was sleeping soundly when Chong Ling suddenly sat up and shouted, "Old Xiong, wake up!"
Xiong Lin was startled: "Chong Ling, are you trying to scare me to death?"
"Do you think Yueyue's 'husband-sucking worm' might be on Naonao?"
Are you still half asleep?
"Yueyue's little panda likes him so much, could it be because..."
Xiong Lin's eyes lit up: "If that's really the case, we'll be rich."
Chong Ling glared at Xiong Lin: "Why are you only thinking about money? If Yueyue's husband curse is really on Nao Nao, then our Yueyue will have to marry him. He's so much older than our Yueyue."
"Not many. Only teenagers."
"Isn't being a teenager a lot?"
"Then...why don't you remove the curse from his body?"
Chong Ling rubbed his forehead: "The Gu poison on his body cannot be cured yet."
"Then let's not try to cure it." Knowing that Yueyue's husband curse might be on Naonao, Xiong Lin felt that he could accomplish great things even without cooperating with Chou Gu. "We didn't intentionally put Yueyue's husband curse on him. Since he's been infected, it means he and our Yueyue are destined to be together."
"But...he's so much older than Yueyue?"
"That curse was ours. Although we didn't intentionally put it on him, since he's been affected, we have to take responsibility for him. Otherwise... otherwise, you'd make sure he can never touch a woman again?"
"this……"
"Forget about that. I'll bring that child to our house tomorrow. You can take a good look at him. If he really has been afflicted by Yueyue's 'husband curse,' then we'll arrange for him to be engaged to Yueyue."
"This..." On one hand, Chong Ling felt sorry for Nao Nao, but on the other hand, she didn't want to give Yue Yue to Nao Nao.
