The old woman was furious and cursed without restraint: "They really are born of a mother but not taught by one. No wonder these two children are like this. It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked too."

"Who are you talking about?"

Li Chunhua also got angry, glaring with fury. Just as she was about to step forward to argue, He Mu grabbed her hand: "Chunhua, you stop right there and shut up!"

"I've never seen such a coward as you! You were like this seven years ago, and you're still like this now!" Li Chunhua was furious and embarrassed. She slapped He Mu's hand away and pulled Qiao Dun to sit down to the side.

Wow~ Wow~ Wow~

Seeing her daughter crying incessantly, Xiuzhen had no choice but to pick her up and breastfeed her while facing the wall.

But there was nothing to eat, so there was no milk. The baby sucked twice, but when he realized there was no milk, he immediately put down the nipple and started wailing again.

Wow~ Wow~ Wow~

The child cried even harder.

Zhao Feng walked over to Xiu Zhen and said apologetically, "Auntie, I'm so sorry, my two younger brothers are being naughty and disturbed you."

Xiuzhen was quite angry, as her daughter had just fallen asleep and they had woken her up.

However, Xiuzhen is kind-hearted and easy to talk to. Seeing the girl in front of her sincerely apologizing, her anger immediately subsided by half.

"It's okay~"

Xiuzhen smiled and shook her head, then patted her daughter in her arms reassuringly and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Mommy's here!"

The child is so young, how could he understand? Besides, he was already hungry, and now he's been frightened, so he's crying hysterically.

Wow~ Wow~ Wow~

Seeing her daughter crying uncontrollably, Xiuzhen was at a loss.

"Why don't you let me hold you for a while?" Zhao Feng asked tentatively.

"What do you want to do?" the old woman asked warily.

Seeing the old woman's fierce face, Zhao Feng steeled herself and said, "I see this baby crying, and I want to hold him and take a look."

"No way!" The old woman refused without even thinking, who knew what the other person's intentions were?

"Mother, it's alright, let her try it." Xiuzhen said, handing the child over.

Da Ya and Er Ya watched as their younger sister was carried away by Zhao Feng, and fearing that she would be taken away by her, they quickly stood by worriedly.

Zhao Feng held the child, gently patted her back, and rocked her a few times. She smiled and said, "Oh, this baby is so pretty~ But she won't look good if she cries, so she can't cry."

A miraculous scene unfolded. The baby, who had been wailing loudly, gradually quieted down and stopped crying, much to Xiuzhen's astonishment.

"Little sister, what's your name? Is this your sister or brother?" Zhao Lian asked, looking at Daya beside her.

"My name is Daya, her name is Erya, and this is my younger sister Sanya."

"Da Ya is so good. Your little sister is just as pretty as your two older sisters." Da Ya and Er Ya scratched their heads shyly after being praised.

The older sister in front of us is so kind. We've never been complimented on our looks before.

"Auntie, look how well-behaved this child is! He looks just like you!" Zhao Feng said, not forgetting to praise Xiu Zhen as well.

"You really know how to talk, girl." Xiuzhen's lips curled up.

Sitting opposite Zhao Feng, Li Chunhua felt as if she had swallowed a fly when she heard what Zhao Feng was saying.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Feng's personality has changed drastically in the past few years. She used to be a quiet, reserved person who was never one to utter a word and had no guile.

But things are different now. Now I always feel that she's a bit sinister, and she's also more cunning and shrewd than before.

Contrary to Li Chunhua's expectations, He Mu was secretly pleased.

Zhao Feng is much more articulate than before, and she's also good at reading people's expressions; this kind of personality won't put her at a disadvantage. However, she's still a bit inferior to Zhao Lian.

Thinking of Zhaolian, He Mu's face fell again. Of his three daughters, Zhaolian was the most capable, but it was a pity that he had lost her.

Seeing that the child had stopped crying, Xiuzhen smiled and said, "Young lady, give me the child, let me hold him!"

Sanya fell asleep peacefully in Zhaofeng's arms. Afraid of waking her, Zhaofeng carefully handed Sanya to Xiuzhen.

"Young lady, what's your name? Where are you from?" Xiuzhen asked curiously.

Zhao Feng was just wondering how to start the conversation, but when she heard the other person ask, she was secretly delighted.

"Auntie, my name is Zhao Feng, and we are from Changting County, Lianzhou."

Xiuzhen's heart skipped a beat. What a coincidence! It seemed that Zhaolian was also from Changting County, and the girl in front of her was called Zhaofeng. The two looked somewhat alike. Could they be sisters?

Thinking of this, Xiuzhen subconsciously asked, "Miss Zhaofeng, do you know a girl named Zhaolian?"

"Summoning Lotus~"

Zhao Feng's mind raced.

The fact that the other party could mention Zhao Lian's name proves that Zhao Lian must have been here before.

Judging from the other person's tone, they probably have a pretty good relationship with Zhao Lian. Perfect, I can use this relationship to get closer to them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Feng immediately feigned surprise and said excitedly, "I know her, of course I know her, she's my sister. We got separated. I'm with my parents. Where is she now?"

"Oh, so you really are sisters!"

Knowing that her guess was correct, Xiuzhen was overjoyed.

However, when Zhao Feng asked where Zhao Lian was, Xiu Zhen looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Zhao Feng, Zhao Lian has been gone for two or three days now. I'm really sorry, I don't know where they are either."

"Oh~"

Zhao Feng feigned disappointment and asked with concern, "Auntie, I wonder how my sister is doing now?"

"Her? She's doing well! I'm so glad I met her." Xiuzhen was so happy that she didn't try to hide anything and told Zhaofeng about finding the water. She was extremely grateful to Zhaolian.

Zhao Feng was overjoyed to hear this. She hadn't expected that it would be such a lucky coincidence that she had managed to get such information out of him so easily.

Suppressing her excitement, Zhao Feng asked, "Auntie, my parents and I have been hungry for days and haven't had a drop of water since we arrived here. I wonder if we could ask for some water?"

"No!" the old woman interrupted.

She had already realized that the girl was deliberately trying to get close to her, so she had been listening to their conversation.

I never expected that my stupid daughter-in-law would tell everyone everything.

Hearing Zhao Lian ask this question, he quickly refused.

Zhao Feng shook her head in disappointment, "Sigh~ We have no water to drink right now, and we don't know how much longer we can hold on. It seems I'll never see my sister again in this lifetime~"

Seeing her mother-in-law interrupt her, Xiuzhen looked displeased and said coldly, "Mother, this water was originally found by Zhaolian. Zhaofeng is Zhaolian's sister. We can't just stand by and watch her die. Don't forget, your antidote is in my hands."

"Fine, fine, you decide, you decide, okay?" The old woman immediately deflated.

“Miss Zhaofeng, my husband has gone out to fetch water. When he comes back later, I will ask him to take you up the mountain to find water.”

"Okay! Thank you very much, Auntie."

Zhao Feng was overjoyed that the matter was resolved so easily.
