midnight.

Ji Sisi seemed to hear some noise outside while half asleep, but she was too sleepy to get up and see.

Xiao Huihui didn’t cry, so he should be okay, right?

After Ji Si finished thinking, he turned over and continued to sleep.

When Little Huihui smelled a familiar scent, he ran around the yard with joy. The female wolf outside growled, and Little Huihui immediately sat down obediently at the door.

The she-wolf came in through the crack under the gate and started throwing pikas into the yard.

More than a dozen dead pikas were piled in the yard. The mother wolf looked at the house, then at the wounds on Little Huihui's body, and prepared to take Little Huihui away with her mouth.

The moment the mother wolf opened her mouth, Little Huihui dodged forward.

The she-wolf was stunned for a moment and let out a low growl.

Little Huihui retorted and growled, then turned around, ran back to the doghouse that Ji Sisi had made for it with its short legs, and lay there motionless.

Under the moonlight, the she-wolf left alone.

Zhang Qianjin's snoring filled the room. He slept in a casual position, deep in dreamland.

In the dark room, Wang Cuicui sat at the head of the bed, her mind full of the scene she saw Zhang Qian enter Ji Sisi's house this afternoon.

A myriad of emotions mixed in her heart, and anger clouded her brain.

Snapped--

Zhang Qianjin was pulled back to reality from his dream. He opened his sleepy eyelids and was slapped hard in the stomach.

Zhang Qianjin was furious. "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night? What's wrong with you?"

After saying this, he was afraid that the noise was too loud and would wake up his little son, so he looked down and found that the child was not there and the door of the room was closed tightly.

"Why did you go to Ji Sisi this afternoon? You knew that she and I didn't get along, but you still went to her.

Do you have a shameful relationship?

Zhang Qianjin, are you worthy of me, the two children at home, and Director Qi? If you don't make it clear today, I will go to Ji Sisi to ask clearly! "

Wang Cuicui had her hair loose and her eyes wide open in anger, looking somewhat scary under the dim light bulb.

"Wang Cuicui, be careful with your words!"

Zhang Qianjin rubbed his face irritably, feeling extremely annoyed and not knowing how to explain.

If he wanted to tell the truth, he was afraid that Wang Cuicui would know about Cordyceps. With her greedy nature, she might even start a bad trend. His situation was complicated!

But if I don't say it, seeing Wang Cuicui's behavior, she will definitely turn the courtyard upside down and everyone will know about it.

He wasn't afraid, but Ji Sisi was a woman, and people's words were scary. Director Qi's life or death was still uncertain...

Zhang Qianjin sighed, his expression solemn.

"Director Qi is in trouble. It's hard to say whether she can come back. I went to deliver Director Qi's salary to her on behalf of the accountant Xiao He. I asked her if she had heard any rumors."

Wang Cuicui was stunned, but she saw that her husband's expression did not seem like he was joking, and if the mission went well, there should be good news from the institute.

When she thought back, she realized that whenever she ran into Director Fu these days, he had a gloomy face and his greetings were not as enthusiastic as before.

Could it be that...something really happened to Qi Yan?

Wang Cuicui didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was happy that Ji Sisi could be kicked out of the hospital completely, but she was sad that such a good person like Qi Yan was gone.

Wang Cuicui was still frozen in place, her anger still not resolved.

After a long while, Wang Cuicui spoke up, "I wanted to introduce me to Director Qi, but you all stopped me. Now it's over, right?"

"This has nothing to do with your introduction to a date! You'd better keep your mouth shut and don't tell anyone. If anyone tells anyone, our family of four will all pack up and go back to our hometown in the countryside."

Wang Cuicui's doubts were completely dispelled by Zhang Qianjin's words.

Wang Cuicui knew she was not in the right, so she muttered softly, "Ji Sisi has a heart disease and will die young. Maybe she is the one who brought about Qi..."

Zhang Qianjin's expression changed again. He picked up the water cup on the bedside table and smashed it to the ground. The red porcelain cup made a clanging sound when it hit the ground.

"Shut up, what does this have to do with Ji Sisi? If you keep talking nonsense, go back to your hometown in the countryside, or else we'll get divorced!"

Zhang Qianjin climbed up from the bed, pointed at Wang Cuicui's nose and cursed, "I've had enough of you. If I had known you were so evil, I would never have married a black woman like you even if I had to be single for the rest of my life!"

After saying that, Zhang Qianjin opened the door and went to another room, brought the two children over, and had them sleep in the other room.

Wang Cuicui stood in the room at a loss, tears streaming down her face. She ignored her sleeping child and cried out loudly about her miserable life.

-

Early in the morning, Ji Sisi got up and stretched. She suddenly found that her body seemed much lighter than before. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect or the effect of the marrow cleansing pills.

As soon as she opened the door, what came into view was a pile of rabbit corpses. Ji Sisi's pupils shrank and she was stunned for a few seconds.

Where did these come from?

When Little Huihui heard the noise, he ran towards her, wagging his tail, then ran back and sat on the pile of pika corpses, licking his tongue.

Ji Sisi walked closer and squatted down to observe the pika.

Without exception, all of these pikas had several bloody holes on their necks, and it was not difficult to guess that they were bitten to death.

Ji Sisi caught one. It had brown fur and looked a bit like a mouse. However, it was different from ordinary rabbits. It had short ears, black eyes, and was very small.

"Did your mother send it?"

Ji Sisi put the pika down and touched Xiao Huihui's head. Xiao Huihui raised his head with a proud look.

Just when Ji Sisi was worrying about how to start, someone knocked on the door.

"Sisi, are you awake?"

Ji Sisi opened the door and Li Hongying was holding an iron basin with red flowers and a white porcelain bottom, filled with steamed corn bread.

"I made some steamed bread this morning. I'll give you some to try. You...ah! Why are there so many pikas here?"

Li Hongying was halfway through her words when she screamed in fear and almost dropped the basin in her hand.

Ji Sisi had no choice but to explain truthfully, "It might have been sent by Xiao Huihui's mother. I was wondering what to do..."

Li Hongying opened her mouth, her brain still hadn't digested what Ji Sisi said.

After not seeing each other for two days, Sisi had already raised a little wolf. The mother wolf even sent her a bunch of mice and rabbits in the middle of the night to express her gratitude?

Li Hongying moved her lips, but held back what she was about to say.

"Sister Hongying, don't worry. I will let Xiao Huihui go after his wounds are healed. I will also keep him at home during the day. He will definitely not hurt children or adults. As for the mother wolf, I still have his cub in my hands. He will definitely not do anything to hurt people."

"Silly girl, I'm worried about you. This is a wolf. How dare you raise such a wild thing?"

Li Hongying skillfully opened the kitchen of Ji Sisi's house. "Wowotou, you haven't had breakfast yet, come and eat it while it's still hot."

"What should we do? Can pikas be eaten?"

Ji Sisi pointed at the pika on the ground.

Li Hongying nodded. "It's edible, but it's a little complicated to prepare. There's not much meat, so it takes a lot of time. You don't have time at work, and I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway, so I can help you clean it up."

"I don't need it. I can't cook. It would be a waste to give me this meat. Sister Hongying, if you want it, take it. If not, I'll find a bag to pack it away later."

Li Hongying hesitated for a few seconds, but finally accepted it.
