Chapter 26 Xie He was shocked
"What a terrible thing to do! Stop it, all of you!" Old Mrs. Zhou cried out, slapping her thighs with both hands as she sat on the ground.
Wen Luozhi stepped forward, grabbed her with her small hands, and dragged her out of the house.
She hates these kinds of mean old people the most, both in the past and now!
Xie He and the others stopped what they were doing. Wu Hong and Qian Zhaodi caught their breath, got up, and stumbled towards the door.
At the door, they saw the elderly Zhou lying on the ground. The two quickly helped her up and fled in panic.
The one-sided brawl ended before the men inside even started fighting, and Wen Luozhi grinned, looking extremely happy.
They are a great family, protective of each other and united.
The important thing is that her adoptive father isn't the kind of person who blindly obeys his parents, otherwise she would really be furious.
Inside the house, Wen Zizhong pounded his legs in hatred. He could hear everything that was happening outside. If only his legs weren't crippled!
……
Wen Luozhi opened the system with great anticipation before going to bed; she currently had a total of 350 points.
She opened her backpack, and sure enough, there was a large gift bag and a blind box inside.
She opened the gift pack, and several items appeared on the screen:
【Unlucky Charm X5: Simply stick it on the cursed person and it will immediately take effect invisibly for 5 days.】
Invisibility Talisman x2: Recite it three times and it will take effect immediately. It will be valid for half an hour.
Super Growth Potent Solution X3: Mix with water at a 1:1 ratio and spray evenly onto the surface of crops.
Tomato Seeds X5: Enhanced variety with super strong growth ability, can be sown in all seasons.
Premium dryland cucumber seeds X3: Can be sown in all four seasons.
[A quantity of spice seeds: high-quality, essential seeds; can be sown year-round.]
Wen Luozhi nodded in satisfaction. This system wasn't too bad; at least the components were all useful.
She opened the surprise blind box, and something that looked like a slot machine appeared on the screen.
She shook the joystick and looked at the screen with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
Finally, three identical icons appeared on the screen, and upon closer inspection, they turned out to be... a puppy?
Wen Luozhi felt a little embarrassed. Was this supposed to be a surprise?
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a top-tier spirit pet, the Jade-Faced Snow Wolf. It's a must-have for guarding your home!]
After hearing the system's notification, she was still wondering whether she had just seen a dog or a wolf when suddenly a little creature appeared in her arms.
She looked down and saw a small, furry thing rolling over on her belly.
She gently picked him up with both hands and looked at him; the little guy immediately grinned at her.
It's laughing! Wen Luozhi's eyes sparkled. She reached out her finger and scratched its belly, making it whimper.
Wen Luozhi was charmed by it. She thought that since it was so small, she didn't expect it to guard the house. It would be fine if it could be a playmate for the children in the family.
She loved it more and more as she stroked it, and the snow wolf lay obediently on her body without moving around.
[Side Quest (2) has been activated. Please check it.]
Wen Luozhi opened the system to check the tasks, and was immediately confused.
Find a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. Reward: 30 points. Task limited to 5 days. Friendly reminder: Your spirit pet can help!
A thousand-year-old ginseng, 30 points? 5 days? Wen Luozhi couldn't help but sigh that this system was really stingy and a total rip-off.
Ordinary ginseng costs tens of taels of silver, and she actually wants to find it herself? Where is she going to look for it? In the mountains?! Last time she only found two pheasants and a rabbit, does she really think ginseng is a radish?
Wen Luozhi took all the seeds out of her backpack in a depressed mood. She was going to breed them when she got back tomorrow, and then she could earn money by planting them.
She sighed silently, then hugged the little wolf in her arms and fell asleep, her mind heavy with worries.
The next morning, all the women in the family got up early. Xie He arranged for her two sisters-in-law, Li Chunxing, to help prepare food. By the time Wen Luozhi got up, the only thing left to do was prepare the food for Wen Zijin.
Wen Luozhi washed her face to clear her mind, then took out the things she bought yesterday and started making food for Wen Zijin.
Considering the hot weather, she made stir-fried loofah with eggs, stir-fried shredded pork with bean sprouts, a cold salad of three shredded vegetables, and a yam, mung bean, and pork rib soup.
Yesterday I redeemed a high-efficiency thermal insulation cloth in the system, and it came in handy today. Unlike yesterday, I didn't have to put everything into the system.
Since the potato planting work was finished yesterday, and today they only needed to weed the other fields, Xie He didn't need to go to the fields and suggested going to town with Wen Luozhi.
Yang Guilan was somewhat unwilling, but she couldn't say much. She could always go again tomorrow!
It was even earlier than yesterday, and Old Zhao's oxcart hadn't arrived yet. Taking advantage of the cool weather, the mother and daughter decided to walk to town.
Since it was Xie He and Wen Luozhi, there was no need to hide anything. They would take out a piece of ready-to-eat beef, an apple, or other random things to feed Xie He.
Seeing how hard Xie He was carrying the load, she put everything into the system and took it out when they were almost in town.
It was the same stall as yesterday. She had just put down her basket and hadn't even had a chance to set up her stall when someone came over.
"Little girl, I've walked this way so many times but I haven't seen you!"
"Same as yesterday, five of each of these fried dumplings, and two bowls of braised pork intestines."
He had already prepared the money, and seeing Wen Luozhi busy with her hands, he handed her thirty coins, saying, "Big sister, here's thirty coins for you to count."
Xie He was still a little stunned, but when he came to his senses, he quickly took the money with both hands and said happily, "What are you counting! You seem like a very generous person!"
The man laughed heartily and said to the mother and daughter, "If I weren't home alone and couldn't eat all of that, I would have bought even more!"
Wen Luozhi smiled and handed him the items, saying sweetly, "Uncle, you've set a good example for us today, so here's an extra one for you."
The man happily accepted the item, thanked him, and left with it.
"Daughter, am I dreaming? Pinch me!" After everyone left, Xie He shook Wen Luozhi's arm, somewhat incredulous.
Wen Luozhi patted the back of her hand and said with a smile, "This is nothing, Mom. You'll be amazed when you see it in a moment."
The market was getting more and more crowded, and there was a growing number of people in front of the stalls, with queues forming.
Most of the customers were repeat customers from yesterday, and the remaining small group came because of the shouts and recommendations from others.
Without exception, those who bought yesterday bought even more today, and even those who were new to the store today bought some to treat themselves, even if they thought it was a bit expensive.
Xie He gradually calmed down from her initial shock, carefully working on the side to avoid making any mistakes.
The braised pork offal had just sold out when that auntie came by yesterday with her basket. Wen Luozhi took out the things she had prepared in advance and handed them to her with both hands, saying, "Auntie, these are for you. I packed extra braised offal for you, and I'll give you an extra one of the other things."
The older woman beamed with joy upon hearing this, and placed the remaining coins on the small table, saying, "That's why I said yesterday you have a knack for business."
"Oh, little girl, why is someone else here today?" She noticed Xie He, who was busy working nearby.
“Auntie, this is my mother, and that was my sister-in-law yesterday,” Wen Luozhi answered while busying herself.
Hearing this, the aunt gave Xie He a thumbs up, saying, "Young lady, you've really raised a capable daughter!"
Xie He chatted with her warmly for a few minutes, and seeing that the stall was getting busier and busier, the aunt waved goodbye.
Today they brought half again as much as yesterday, but sold out even earlier than yesterday. The mother and daughter packed up their stall and were about to go to the academy to deliver food to Wen Zijin.
Since it wasn't lunchtime yet, the two sat under the big tree and waited.
Wen Luozhi took out some food and filled Xie He's stomachs. Seeing that no one was around, she took out the sour plum soup in the bamboo tube from the system.
When everyone had almost finished drinking, it was lunchtime at the academy. This time, we didn't have to wait long before we saw Wen Zijin come out, accompanied by Yan Che, who was tilting his head and talking to someone.
