The passenger ship sailed on the river for nearly ten days and finally arrived at Qingxi Town in Shang'an Prefecture. Rongshan Town was not far from here, but it was not accessible by water, so they still had to hire a carriage to go back.

"Donor, since we have arrived in Shang'an Prefecture, I have to go to Sanqing Temple to visit a friend. Let's meet in Dashi Village in a few days."

Sanqing Temple was not far from here, so he said goodbye to Master Yin Guang and took Xu Jinchu to the town to hire a carriage to Rongshan Town.

"Zhao Zhao, how long will it take us to get there?"

She was exhausted from the long journey these past few days. Unable to resist, she lifted the carriage curtain and asked.

"It will probably arrive tonight. Are you hungry, sister?"

She was riding in front and waved to the driver to stop. She took out the still warm roast duck from the package, opened it, and gave it to Xu Jinchu to eat first.

After getting the roast duck, Xu Jinchu didn't ask any questions. He just retreated into the carriage and started to eat it with relish.

On the other side, Zhao Huanxi was looking at the two men and one woman at his door with some worry.

"Sister, you actually have enough money to build such a big house. I guess it must be even more luxurious inside. You can't chase us away again this time. It's not easy for mother to come here once."

As for her mother, Luo, she was lying on a wooden cart, her face crooked and her mouth tilted, drooling. Her eyes were full of hope as she looked at Zhao Huanxi.

It's pitiful, but Zhao Huanxi was not fooled.

Because tomorrow is the "apprenticeship ceremony" for the three children, she asked the clan leader to calculate the date and found that the first day of July is a good day for the apprenticeship.

I was cooking meals for tomorrow at home when I heard these people shouting at the door.

When I opened the door and saw this scene, I was puzzled. Who instigated these two people?

"Tell me who told you I have money, and I'll give you some benefits," she tempted. Find the person who's causing trouble, and then slowly take care of them one by one.

When the two heard that there was profit to be made, they immediately told them about the last time Mrs. Zhang asked them to help her make money.

After hearing this, Zhao Huanxi thought to himself: It was indeed her. She was the one who had made it clear that he had a grudge against the villagers. Besides, this old woman was always hoping for chaos in the world. I thought she would behave herself after being divorced by Liu Dashan, but she was still doing something behind my back.

Zhao Fengnian asked impatiently, "I've already told you, where's the reward? Bring it over!"

He held out his hand, as if asking for something, much like a panda asking for a snack.

No... Pandas are national treasures, and he is just a jerk... so ugly that he is not even as big as a panda's toes.

"Yes, of course. In dreams, there is everything."

Zhao Huanxi spoke nonchalantly, rolling his eyes to the sky.

If you don't know the whole story, she looks like a villain in a TV series.

"You bastard, you're not going to take my toast, are you? I'm talking to you nicely, but you're not going to do it, so I have to use my weapon on you."

Zhao Mancai was furious when he saw his daughter, who used to be a taciturn person but has now become so mean.

Zhao Huanxi stood on the steps, looking down at the father and son.

"I still say that I have no money but my life. If you insist on taking my money, come and kill me."

"Sister, please have pity on me. I'm so old now. Can't you see how difficult it is for me to come to you?" Zhao Fengnian's thieving eyes couldn't stop looking into the yard, wanting to see what it looked like inside.

There weren't any houses like this in their village, and even in town, there weren't many houses this large with blue bricks and large tiles. Ever since he'd suffered a loss here last time, he'd known better than to use force against Zhao Huanxi. He touched his leg. It still hurt.

"Okay, Mom can go in, and you two can go back to where you came from. As for the money, there's not a penny left."

"I'm your father! I can't even enter your house?"

Pang Hongying, who was in the backyard, heard the noise and came out to investigate. She and Yu Yan had arrived this morning. Because Yu Yan was moving in, she had a lot of luggage, a whole carriage. She had just been helping to tidy up the house.

"Sister Huanxi, what's wrong?"

She looked at the three people outside the door with different expressions and didn't understand what was going on.

When Zhao Fengnian saw the beautiful Hongying, he immediately swallowed his saliva and stared at her with lustful eyes. This damn woman actually had such a beautiful woman in her house, no wonder she refused to let them in.

Hongying felt Zhao Fengnian's disgusting gaze and almost vomited the overnight meal she had eaten when she saw the fat, big-eared, and smelly Zhao Fengnian.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you stare at me like that? You're such an uneducated thing!"

She was originally the daughter of the golden and beautiful Pang family. She only liked men's clothing because of her love of martial arts and her bold personality. But this did not mean that she could tolerate the man in front of her using such a disgusting look to offend her.

Hearing her scolding, Zhao Fengnian was not angry. He grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth and said in a lewd smile: "Sister, such a beautiful woman, please marry me! I don't want your money anymore."

Zhao Huanxi felt as if he had heard a huge joke. This guy didn't even take a piss and look at himself to see what kind of person he was.

"You toad, you want to eat swan flesh! Calling you a toad is an insult to toads. I think you are a bandit painting an image. Look at your own thief's character! Don't insult my guests! You have a father but no father to raise you. You have no manners at all!"

Her scolding was so harsh that Zhao Mancai, who was standing next to her, was almost furious. She pointed at Zhao Huanxi and scolded, "You are not my daughter! I don't have a daughter like you!"

Zhao Huanxi sneered, "Your daughter died a long time ago! She died the day you sold her to that bastard Lu Feng! Since you said you don't have a daughter like me! Then write a letter of severance and never come to my house again in this life!"

Before the original owner got married, she washed clothes and cooked at home, went up the mountain to chop wood, and kept the house clean. Her life was worse than that of a servant. When Lu Feng came to ask for the original owner's hand in marriage, they knew that Lu Feng was a jerk, but they still married her to him.

Yet, the original owner believed their words and truly thought the Lu family was a good place to be. However, she later discovered that this was not the case. Ever since she had revealed Lu Feng's misdeeds to the village chief last time, they had not been surprised once. It was clear that they knew what kind of person Lu Feng was.

She was actually deceived by the original owner's memory and really thought that the Zhao family married her for her own good.

“Just write it!”

Zhao Mancai was so excited that his blood rushed to his head and he agreed immediately.

Zhao Fengnian, who was standing by, pulled him aside and whispered to him, "Dad, don't be angry first, just look at me."

"Sister, we are a family and we should not say different things. No matter how we say it, we are all the blood of the Zhao family. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected." He said it with sincerity, but Zhao Huanxi didn't want to hear even a single punctuation mark.

"Stop your stinky face and stop nagging me. If you don't get out of here, I'll let the dogs bite you!"

Xiao Yin inside thoughtfully let Dahei and Xiaohei out at this moment. The puppies have been in the house for more than two months. They eat a lot and poop a lot every day. The cub that is more than four months old has eaten so much that it looks like it is six or seven months old.

"How dare you! Your mother is still here! How dare you bite her?" Zhao Mancai pushed Luo to the front. If he hadn't been told that there was someone else, Zhao Huanxi would have almost forgotten about it.

He snorted coldly: "I can support my mother, but you have to get out!"
