I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Chapter 14 Early Morning Farce

Hehe! You told me not to continue, but I'm going to keep going anyway. Whether I disappear from your mind at that time depends entirely on your progress in cultivation. Do you remember that sweet dream you had before?

Zhuzhu: Of course I remember! It was because of this dream that I miraculously traveled back to our childhood. This gave me another chance to be by my mother's side and fulfill my filial duty. I haven't seen Jianmei for many years in modern times, and I really miss the happy times we spent together when we were little.

Did you know that such a strange thing could happen to you? I'll tell you a secret! In modern times, many people are experiencing this miracle.

They, like you, have just lost a loved one and are deeply grieving! By chance, they encountered our Tiande System. They too are quietly cultivating goodness, but as you know, contemporary society is a huge melting pot.

It's filled with all sorts of people! One can easily be tainted by bad habits. Even worse, some will do anything for their own gain, which is why hell is overflowing. That's why there are so few immortals living in heaven!

Zhuzhu; do you mean to say that spiritual practitioners are like the soil of the earth, while human beings are like nail polish?

Yes, yes, yes! Where did you hear that? That's exactly what I was trying to say! It seems you really have a knack for this! I definitely didn't choose the wrong person this time!

Zhuzhu; I remember in my previous life, when I went to visit Jianmei who was bedridden, I heard this sentence playing on a DVD!

It seems the Tiande System's choice of you was foreshadowed...

Zhuzhu: But I'm not interested in cultivation at all! Let alone using the rules of the Heavenly Virtue System to regulate my words and actions.

A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings! Your late mother, Madam Longzhen, always did good deeds when she was alive, thus leaving behind a very deep legacy of good fortune for her descendants. This is why the Tiande System chose you!

Just as Zhuzhu was about to ask the system some more questions, a familiar voice suddenly interrupted her.

Zhuzhu! Zhuzhu! Why are you taking so long to wash your face? Are you feeling unwell? Should I make you some brown sugar water?

Longzhen saw Zhuzhu slowly washing her little face and couldn't help but worry.

Zhuzhu scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on her face, then rubbed her cheeks with her hands. A little while later, she scooped up another handful of cold water from the basin and splashed it on her face again.

Zhuzhu felt her little face was very clean, so she looked in the mirror. She noticed that her face had become rosy and fair, like a ripe peach.

In her previous life, when Zhuzhu went out, people would always say she was young and beautiful, a fairy who would never age. But that was just a facade; in reality, her own daughter always loved to buy her high-end skincare products.

Zhuzhu subconsciously touched her hair, which had grown past her waist. Looking in the mirror, her hair was jet black, shiny, and lustrous. Wasn't this the look she had always strived for?

Oh dear! Hurry up, or your uncles and dad will eat all the soy milk and steamed buns.

Upon hearing her mother's words, Zhuzhu put down her comb and quickly ran to the dining table.

Changchun: Sister-in-law, please don't cook porridge! There's already plenty of good food here! Besides, we usually just eat something simple for breakfast at home.

Hua Ying's mother: Yes! Yes! We usually just have some millet porridge and pickled vegetables for breakfast at home. It's nothing like the lavish breakfast my sister-in-law made this morning.

Hua Ying sighed. "Mother, can I stay at Sister Jianmei's house indefinitely? I guarantee I'll gain five or six pounds while I'm staying there."

Hua Ying's mother; Hahaha! This little girl must have seen that Sister Jianmei's house has so many delicious things to eat even in the morning, so she wants to stay at Sister Jianmei's house.

After Longzhen served the last breakfast item, she took off her apron and sat down next to her husband.

Longzhen: If she wants to stay, let her stay at my house! It'll keep my three girls company!

Hua Ying's mother; normally it's fine! But right now, as you know, we're all busy transplanting rice seedlings. My little brother is still so small; he needs to be held in someone's arms right now.

Upon hearing this, Jianmei dropped her chopsticks and bowl; wasn't that simple? She put her younger brother alone on the bed and placed several pillows around him to prevent him from rolling off.

Hua Ying's mother: That's a good idea! I'm just a little worried about my younger brother's safety at home alone. Hua Ying and I need to go to the fields to plant rice seedlings. Your uncle has been called away by the clan chief these past few days to learn about managing the family business. We have to thank my elder brother for not wanting to manage the family business, so it's now the child's father's turn.

Longzhen, who had been all smiles, suddenly lost her composure after hearing her sister-in-law say those words.

If it weren't for her own fault, her husband might have already taken the position. Her husband disregarded the opposition of Old Man Yang's clan and tried his best to suppress and exploit Second Master (Old Man Yang) in order to force Second Master to leave Longzhen.

Hua Ying's father noticed his sister-in-law's face darken and quickly said, "Your sister-in-law is just a working woman; sometimes she speaks without thinking. So, brother and sister-in-law, don't take what she just said to heart."

Old Man Yang: I never thought of becoming the patriarch of our family, otherwise I wouldn't have left home alone with my luggage ten years ago! Becoming the patriarch of a family is not necessarily a good thing!

Yang Changchun: What do you mean by saying that, elder brother? Did something happen to you back then, which is why you had no choice but to leave your hometown alone?

Old Man Yang: That's right! As you all know, the clan chief publicly announced in front of the entire clan that I was the next clan chief. This action by the clan chief caused dissatisfaction among many people, so some people held back. They secretly arranged for some prostitutes to work in my room. They even specially trained them to wait for the day I got drunk and then...

Hua Ying's father: Ah! How could someone plot to frame my elder brother like this? Why didn't my elder brother mention this to us?

Old Man Yang; it's all in the past! What did I do for him? If you hadn't suddenly brought up the fact that I almost became the next clan leader, I would have kept it all to myself.

Yang Changchun: But brother, are you willing to be schemed against like this?

Old Man Yang: What can I do if I'm not willing to accept it?

Jianmei: If my father had become the clan leader back then, wouldn't I have been a young lady?

Hua Ying: Aren't you a young lady now? Big sister, can I call you Miss from now on?

Jianmei: You're silly! Miss doesn't need to do farm work all day! Besides, someone will hold an umbrella for her when she goes out. Someone will bring her tea and water if she's thirsty.

Hua Ying: Ah! Wouldn't that make me a useless piece of trash who can't do anything?

At this moment, because she was thirsty, Grandma Kui went into Old Man Yang's house.

Friendly reminder: These are people gossiping about your family outside, and they're planning to bring you home to cause trouble! Please handle this matter carefully! Please don't escalate this situation!

Grandma Kui; Longzhen, do you have any tea brewed? I was washing clothes in the little ditch in front of your house. I suddenly felt a little thirsty, so I came to your house to ask for some tea.

Longzhen: Yes! I just brewed a pot of tea, wait a moment and I'll go pour it for you.

Grandma Kui: Okay! It's alright, pour it slowly! I'm not in a hurry.

Grandma Kui saw Longzhen go to pour her tea, so she looked around the kitchen, muttering to herself, "How strange! They should keep such a good thing in the kitchen! Are they afraid someone will steal it? Is that why they hid it somewhere else?"

Zhuzhu; Grandma Kui, what are you looking for in my house? Let me guess, are you looking for the crispy loach and small fish I fried yesterday?

Grandma Kui, who was intently searching for crispy loach and small fish, was startled by Zhuzhu.

Grandma Kui: Why do you walk so quietly, child? And what are you doing, sneaking around behind me like that?

Grandma Kui avoided answering the questions Zhu Zhu asked her, and instead asked Zhu Zhu herself.

Jianlin: Are you stupid?! Why are you asking such an obvious question?! This old lady must have heard that you can cook those fragrant loach and small fish, so she came to our house to steal them!

Grandma Kui realized that Jianlin meant she was stealing, and she immediately became anxious.

Grandma Kui: Do you even know how to talk? What do you mean I'm stealing? Which eye of yours saw it?

Jianlin: What were you doing in my kitchen all by yourself? And you didn't even say hello before coming in. What else could this be but a thief?

Grandma Kui touched her nose guiltily; "I came to your house for a cup of tea, and while I was at it, I also wanted to try the crispy loach that your young wife and Jianmei made. I heard they say Zhuzhu's crispy loach is delicious!"

Jianlin said proudly, "That's right, don't you even know whose wife made that dish!"

At this moment, Longzhen brought tea to Jianlin and Granny Kui and served the tea to Granny Kui.

Longzhen glared at Jianlin; "How can you be so shameless? You just love to brag."

Grandma Kui burst into laughter upon hearing Longzhen's words.
