Seeing her husband being scolded like this, Tian Guilan was immediately furious. She rolled up her sleeves and yelled at the top of her voice: "Ma Ergun, you only had a few days of full meals, and you don't even know your last name? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? In the past, you couldn't even drink vegetable porridge, and now you are here and act so arrogant! What's so great about having a donkey in your family? Do you have the ability to carry a donkey on your head? Humph! My Zhao family has a real brick and tile house, how can you compare?"

The mention of their brick houses instantly gave Zhao Cunliang and his wife a boost of confidence. Those three brick houses had been passed down from generation to generation, and they couldn't afford to lose face in this area. Zhao Cunliang puffed out his chest, his eyes filled with disdain as he stared intently at Ma Ergun.

"Open the door! Open the door! Uncle Ma, we're back!"

Ma Ergun was standing on the lookout, arguing fiercely with Zhao Cunliang, and hadn't noticed anything happening at the village entrance. When he heard Shi Liu's voice, he suddenly turned his head and thought to himself, "Oh no!"

Then he hurriedly shouted to the villagers guarding the gate: "Everyone, hurry up and open the door! Shi Liu and the others are back!"

As he shouted, the gate at the entrance of the village slowly opened, Taohua and Shiliu sat leisurely on the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove in.

Behind the carriage, a delivery team followed, each loaded with various items. Seeing this, the servants waiting nearby immediately surrounded it like a tide.

"Miss Eldest, Miss Second." The servants greeted respectfully in unison.

Taohua ordered methodically, "Bring in all the furniture from the village entrance."

Shi Liu added, "Just move it in and put it in the village, and then use a bullock cart to slowly transport it to the row houses."

When Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan saw Taohua and Shiliu coming back, they hurriedly walked forward with smiles on their faces.

"Peach blossoms, pomegranates, my home..." Zhao Cunliang just opened his mouth and didn't finish his words.

Without even looking up, Shi Liu casually raised her braid and slapped the horse's butt with a "slap" sound, and spat out two crisp words: "No time."

With a loud neigh, the two horses raised their front hooves high and kicked wildly in the air. Xiuying's carriage was pulled by two horses, and the sudden movement frightened Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan so much that they retreated step by step.

Ma Ergun stood on the observation deck and saw the whole scene clearly. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

"Uncle Zhao, what's the matter? Don't you have a grand brick house? Why are you afraid of these two horses?" Ma Ergun deliberately shouted in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Cunliang blushed and retorted, "Stop making sarcastic remarks! They're just two horses, there's nothing to be proud of!"

Seeing Zhao Cunliang's stubborn attitude, Ma Ergun couldn't help but touch his nose, chuckled twice, and said with a bit of pride, "Hey, do you see these furniture? Xiuying bought them all specifically for those 'down-and-outs' you mentioned. And those new row houses behind Xiuying's house are so beautiful, do you know who they're for? They're for those servants you look down on."

Tian Guilan, who was listening at the side, became increasingly anxious. She quickly reached out to grab Zhao Cunliang's arm and called out anxiously, "Boss, Boss..."

Zhao Cunliang glared at her impatiently and said unhappily, "What are you doing? You act like you've never seen the world. What are you yelling about? It's just some low-end furniture. What's the big deal?"

"Boss..." Tian Guilan became increasingly anxious. She tightly grasped Zhao Cunliang's sleeves, lowered her voice, and stammered, "...The rich and powerful are still in Zhushan..."

When Zhao Cunliang heard this, he slapped his head suddenly. He didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran towards the carriage, shouting loudly: "Peach Blossom... Pomegranate..."

The carriage that Taohua and Shiliu were riding in slowly and steadily stopped outside the yard. As soon as the carriage stopped, Shiliu jumped off lightly.

Before Shi Liu could stand firmly, the two little guys, Lao Liu and Lao Qi, came running over and, like two little sparrows, chirped and told her everything about how Da Fu Da Gui stole bamboo shoots and got trapped in a formation.

Shi Liu leaned forward slightly and gently touched the heads of her two sisters, with approval in her eyes, "You two did a good job. People like Dafu Dagui should be taught a lesson so that they will remember it well."

At this time, Taohua also got off the carriage and walked over. "Those brothers used to bully us and mother in many ways. Now is the time for us to take revenge and settle our grievances."

Pomegranate and Peach Blossom looked at each other with telepathy, a calculation flashed in each other's eyes, and they came up with an idea in an instant.

Shi Liu turned to look at Tao Hua and said, "Sister, I'll call Afan and Awang right away, and we'll plan this together."

Little Six and Little Seven were clever and immediately sensed the "smell" of the impending prank. Their eyes lit up like two little stars and they shouted excitedly.

Little Laoliu tugged at the corner of Shiliu's clothes and said, "Big sister, take me with you. It's such a fun thing, you can't leave me out."

Little Seven jumped up and down in agreement: "I want to go too. Playing pranks is such a fun thing, how can you leave me out!"

Dafu and Dagui had been trapped in the bamboo mountain for a whole day and night. At this moment, they were starving, shivering with cold, and in a miserable state.

Dagui asked tremblingly with tears in his eyes, "Brother, why can't we get out of Zhushan no matter what?"

Dafu frowned, his eyes filled with anxiety, "This bamboo mountain really has an indescribable strange energy!"

When Dagui heard this, his face turned even paler with fear, and he said in a trembling voice, "Brother, we...were we encountering a ghost?"

Dafu pretended to be calm, but his voice couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Don't... don't talk nonsense... where... where do ghosts come from in this world?"

Just as the two were talking, a chilly breeze whistled past their heads, carrying an endless chill that seemed to penetrate into their bones.

Dagui's eyes widened in horror, he grabbed Dafu's arm tightly, and asked hurriedly: "Brother, what...what did you feel?"

Although Dafu was also terrified, he still said, "What? It's just an ordinary mountain breeze. Don't make a fuss and scare yourself."

Dafu and Dagui turned around tremblingly, and in an instant, they saw two figures suddenly appear before them.

They were actually two "female ghosts" with long flowing hair. Their faces were half covered by their long hair, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with a faint light, which was indescribably weird.

One of them was wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind; the other was wearing a bright blood-red dress, which was eye-catching yet creepy.
