Chapter 158

When she got closer, Cuicui saw that not only her grandma but also her second uncle and grandpa were there. She rushed over and said, "Grandma! You're back!"

Mother Zhong smiled and hugged her granddaughter who rushed over to her, with a loving smile on her face.

"How was it? Were you scared today? Grandma came back as soon as she heard the news. I was so heartbroken!"

Cuicui greeted the others and raised her head to talk to Zhong's mother, "I'm not scared. Grandma, you don't know, my mother asked Second Aunt to take us all into the house. I really want to come out and take a look!"

Zhong's mother said sternly, "You can't do that! You are just a little kid, how can you run to the front to see something like this? You should hide behind to avoid getting hurt by mistake. Oh, why didn't you see your aunt?"

"My aunt is in the room. Tiedan is crying because of toothache, and my aunt is trying to comfort him."

Mother Zhong came closer with Cuicui in her arms. When the aunties at the door saw her coming back, they all started talking to her.

Li Guihua called out "Mom", and Zhong's mother looked her up and down. Seeing that she really didn't look like anything was wrong, she felt relieved and started talking to the other women.

"Mr. Zhong, why did you rush back? It's true that someone came to your house and attacked you. I don't believe you can sit still after knowing that." This was Aunt Tian's voice.

"It's good that you're back, auntie. You didn't see them this morning. The Zhou family members were like crazy. Luckily, Guihua was smart and dodged them in no time. Otherwise, she would be the one lying on the ground."

Mother Zhong had heard these words from people in the village who followed her to watch the fun, and hearing them again still made her feel heartbroken.

"That's right! I was so worried that I came back right away to check on him." Mother Zhong had a worried look on her face. The women around her hurried to comfort her. Even the foul-mouthed Aunt Tian offered a few words of comfort.

After sending away the villagers who came to watch the fun, Mother Zhong turned and went into the yard.

Tiedan was hanging on Zhong Ruyi's thigh and acting like a spoiled child, "Aunt, Tiedan wants to raise rabbits too. Tiedan can raise them well."

Zhong Ruyi remained unmoved and continued talking to Jiang Qin.

"Didn't you say last time that you also raised rabbits at home? I'll have someone take you to raise one, and you'll be responsible for delivering the rabbits to town every day. Can you do it?"

Jiang Qin nodded. "Sure, Sister Ruyi, my father used to raise a lot of rabbits, and he supported our family with them. He taught me everything."

Zhong Ruyi smiled and touched Jiang Qin's head, "Thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Qin was a little shy, but still pretended to be calm and said, "It's not hard. It's best to be able to help Sister Ruyi."

Tiedan pouted and watched his aunt only talking to the new brother and completely ignoring him. He immediately started to cry, but then he saw grandma coming back.

He immediately cheered and ran forward, hugged Grandma's thighs and said, "Grandma! Dandan hasn't seen Grandma for a long time, I miss you so much!"

Mother Zhong wanted to bend down and pick him up, but four-year-old Tiedan ate too well, so she couldn’t hold him anymore and could only touch his little head instead.

Jiang Qin stood up and called out "Auntie", then he saw Zhong's sisters following behind her mother. He was a little confused and wondered why they came back too?

"Jiang Qin, were you scared this morning?" After touching her daughter from head to toe, Zhong's mother turned around and spoke to Jiang Qin.

Seeing him shaking his head, Zhong's mother asked the Jiang sisters who were following behind her to talk to him.

Li Guihua looked at Jiang Qin and then at the Jiang sisters who came with Zhong's mother. She whispered to Zhong's mother, "Mom, who are they?"

They told others that they were distant relatives of Zhong's mother, and of course told the truth to their own family members, Zhong's mother.

"Your younger sister bought these three siblings from the dental shop. She bought them because she felt sorry for them. My daughter is really kind-hearted."

Li Guihua knew that Zhong's mother loved to hear this, so she never hesitated to praise her sister-in-law, and echoed, "My little sister is really the most beautiful and kind-hearted girl in the world!"

After hearing these words, Zhong's mother felt very comfortable. Her brows relaxed and she gave Li Guihua an admiring look.

When Mrs. Zhong came back and saw that nothing had happened at home, she prepared to go back to town as she had to get up early to do business the next day.

"Old woman, why don't you not do business tomorrow? You're too tired running around!" Father Zhong advised her.

But Zhong's mother waved her hand and said, "No, what's so tiring about that? Isn't it just a few steps back and forth? I'm going back with the second son now."

When Zhong Laoer came back to see his younger sister and wife and confirmed that everything was fine at home, he also thought about going back. There was no sign hanging in the store, and it would be bad to let the customers make a wasted trip tomorrow.

"Okay, then you two can go back." Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Mr. Zhong didn't say anything more.

The two men took the Jiang sisters away. At night, they slept with Zhong's mother, while Jiang Qin, who stayed behind, slept with his third brother.

Chen Dongzhi waited until they left before coming in. He had been eavesdropping outside the door, but as there were too many people in the yard, he couldn't just come in to find her.

Now that most people had left, he quietly opened the door and came in.

Zhong Ruyi was trying to comfort the grumpy Tiedan, "You can't even take care of yourself, how can you take care of a rabbit? When you can wash your own clothes and cook for yourself, I'll let you raise a rabbit."

Tiedan's eyes were red with grievance, "How can I support Brother Shitou and Brother Xiaohe? They don't even know how to wash clothes or cook."

"You are a little kid, and they are big kids. How about this, when you grow up to be as big as Brother Shitou, I will give you two to raise, okay?" Zhong Ruyi was very patient.

"Then when will I be as old as Brother Shitou?" Tiedan asked with tears in his eyes.

Just then, Chen Dongzhi pushed the door open. It happened that the gate was not closed, but just half-closed.

Zhong Ruyi didn't have time to coax Tiedan now. She stood up with a look of surprise on her face, "Brother Dongzhi? Didn't you go hunting in the mountains? I just heard from Xiaoxue that you have been guarding the mountains for several days."

Chen Dongzhi nodded and said nothing.

Until now, when Zhong Ruyi stood in front of him intact, he finally let go of his worries. After carefully looking at her face, the last trace of worry also dissipated.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhong Ruyi asked him with a smile.

She could see the worry in his eyes, so she turned around and showed him, "Don't worry, my third brother and the others were there at the time, they couldn't touch a hair on my head."

Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips and whispered, "Next time you encounter something like this, don't get in front of it. You must run away, so as not to be accidentally injured by someone who doesn't have eyes."

"Yeah, I know."
