They would probably continue to make trouble over the next couple of days.
Zhou Xiaoli smiled.
They were like mad dogs biting each other.
The two of them did not stay for long. They got on the carriage and went to the county city as Zhou Xiaoli wanted to buy some stones.
Although this was only Zhou Xiaoli’s third time coming to the stone gambling den, the incidents that happened on her previous two trips were still fresh in people’s minds.
Therefore, many shops in the stone gambling den recognized Zhou Xiaoli.
On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoli bought stones but did not cut them on the spot.
Therefore, many people thought that Zhou Xiaoli was only here to buy stones to play, and not many people paid attention to her.
Soon, Zhou Xiaoli walked around the entire stone gambling den.
There were quite a few stones that emitted spiritual energy, but none of them were particularly outstanding.
In the end, Zhou Xiaoli chose three stones that were piled up in the trash. They had good spiritual energy and were cheap.
Then, she left the stone gambling den with Wei Chiyu.
Since they had nothing to do today, the two of them were not in a hurry to go back. After depositing the donkey cart at the transit station, the two walked around the county city.
The street was bustling with activity and Zhou Xiaoli looked from one stall to another.
She did not buy anything, but it was endless fun doing window shopping. “Wontons. Open the pot. Wontons, open the pot.”
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoli heard the crisp sounds of bamboo hitting one another and the call of the stall owner.
Zhou Xiao was very interested. “Wei Chiyu, do you want to eat wontons?”
Without waiting for Wei Chiyu’s reply, she dragged him to the stall.
The wonton stall was a shed built by the roadside. With a few tables and stools, it became a simple roadside stall.
Business was good. Many people were eating, and there were no empty seats at all.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu enter, the Lady Boss smiled and said, “There are no more seats left. Are you ok to share a table with others?”
Zhou Xiaoli nodded nonchalantly and said with a smile, “Lady Boss, two bowls of wontons please.”
After savinz that, she pulled Wei Chivu to sit down in front of a burly man.
Wei Chiyu glanced at the burly man in the seat and pursed his lips. In the end, he didn’t say anything and sat down.
Soon, the wontons were served.
The taste was not outstanding, but it was not bad.
Zhou Xiaoli was indeed very happy.
At this time, Zhou Xiaoli heard the conversation between the customers nearby.
They were talking about the efficacy of Jinhua Temple in the city.
One said that someone went to pray for a child, and when they came back, she was pregnant and gave birth to a fat boy. The other said that someone else asked for luck to pass through the entrance examination and that person indeed became a scholar.
Anyway, it was quite lively.
Zhou Xiaoli’s interest was piqued. After finishing the wontons, she took Wei Chiyu to the legendary Jinhua Temple.
Jinhua Temple was located halfway up the mountain. The scenery along the way was very beautiful, and there was an endless stream of visitors.
Zhou Xiaoli and Wei Chiyu strolled around the Taoist temple leisurely. After a while, they arrived at the back of the mountain.
This was a large peach forest. According to the monk’s introduction, the busiest period for the temple was when the peach blossoms bloomed every year.
However, it was not the season for peach blossoms, so the back mountain seemed a little desolate.
There was almost no one around.
Zhou Xiaoli walked around aimlessly and felt that there was indeed nothing to see, so she prepared to leave.
At this moment, an indescribable noise entered Zhou Xiaoli’s ears.
She immediately stopped in her tracks and curiously looked in the direction of the noise.
Just as she saw a man and a woman kissing passionately, her vision darkened suddenly. A pair of large hands covered her eyes.
Zhou Xiaoli was immediately displeased. If it weren’t Wei Chiyu who covered her eyes, she would have thrown that person over her shoulder.
She felt that the man and woman looked familiar. Just as she was about to confirm it, Wei Chiyu covered her eyes.
Therefore, she had to move Wei Chiyu’s hand away to check again.
Wei Chiyu’s deep voice sounded in her ear. “Don’t look. It’s dirty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman’s coquettish gasp sounded. “Brother
Dakun, no…”
In the next second, she was pulled away by Wei Chiyu. Wei Chiyu only let go of her after they left the peach forest.
Zhou Xiaoli felt a little awkward.
No matter how thick-skinned she was, she would blush when she encountered such a thing!
Wei Chiyu’s reaction was extremely calm. Only he knew if he was indeed as calm as he looked.
After that, Zhou Xiaoli was no longer in the mood to shop. The two of them left Jinhua Temple in silence.
After that, the two of them bought some cloth, cotton and some small pastries for the children before leaving the county city to go home.
As soon as she reached home, she met Liu Yuanyuan at the door. Zhou Xiaoli looked at her thoughtfully.
At this moment, an illusion appeared again.
The protagonist in the illusion was Liu Yuanyuan, but she was tied up and thrown into a dark room.
In front of her were three burly men who smiled lewdly at Liu Yuanyuan, who was crying and begging for mercy.
Then, the scene changed.
Old Madam Chen was making a scene as she broke off the engagement in the Liu family. Liu Yuanyuan, who had lost her innocence, was so embarrassed that she hanged herself.
From then on, Lin Xiujuan lost her mind. Liu Liangcai was mentally and physically exhausted and died soon after.
The image flickered again and disappeared.
Zhou Xiaoli could not help but frown.
Perhaps because Zhou Xiaoli had stared at Liu Yuanyuan for too long, Liu Yuanyuan also looked at Zhou Xiaoli.
This time, she did not say nasty things to Zhou Xiaoli as before. She only glared at her before turning around and returning home.
Zhou Xiaoli removed her gaze and returned home too.
Zhou Xiaoli had been engrossed in thinking about what had happened in the illusion and returned home in a daze, giving Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan a scare.
Zhou Xiaoli quickly collected her thoughts and said with a smile, “Father, Mother, it’s nothing. I was just thinking about something.”
As she spoke, she hurriedly said, “Mother, I bought cloth and cotton again.
Come and take a look. It’s very beautiful.”
Instantly, Zhang Lan’s attention was diverted. She went forward to take a look. “Ah, this fabric is really good. It must cost a lot of money.”
It was plain to see that her heart was aching at the thought of spending a lot of money.
Zhou Xiaoli smiled and said, “Mother, it’s not expensive. It’s just ordinary cotton, not silk. You used all the fabric we bought previously to make clothes for us, but you didn’t make any for yourself and for Father. Hence I bought more cloth. Let’s make a few more clothes and throw out the old ones.’ Hearing Zhou Xiaoli say that she wanted to toss the old clothes, Zhang Lan and Zhou Yu immediately disagreed.
“How can that be? Our clothes are still fine. How can we toss them?”
Zhou Xiaoli was speechless. She tugged at Zhou Yu’s clothes and said, “Look, there’s a hole in it.”
Zhou Yu chuckled and patted his clothes. “It’s fine. Your mother can sew it up and I can wear it again. It’s still fine.”
Then, he looked at Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Xiaoyu beside him and said with a smile, “We still have the burlap that you bought. Your mother made me a few sets of clothes using burlap. I’ll just wear that. This cloth is soft and good, suitable for making clothes for you to wear.”
Zhang Lan also nodded in agreement. “We often have to go to the fields to work. It would be a pity if we were to wear this good material and it gets damaged then.”
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoli’s face stiffened. “No, we have to wear them together. This is the first New Year since we left the Old Zhou family. We have to wear them.”
Zhou Xiaoli insisted. Thinking that it was indeed the first New Year since they left the Old Zhou family, Zhou Yu and Zhang Lan agreed.
As they chatted and laughed, they carried the cloth into the room.
Zhou Xiaoli subconsciously looked in the direction of the Liu family and thought of the illusion she had just seen about Liu Yuanyuan..
