Chapter 38: Indeed Not Right

“You made me think of something else.” Ji Zhao suddenly raised her eyebrows and said with a bright smile.

“All ears?”

“As long as one’s martial arts skills are deep enough to grind an iron pestle into a needle!” Ji Zhao’s gaze inadvertently swept past him before finally looking away shyly.

At that moment, she actually misunderstood-

“Why is your face so red all of a sudden?” Shen Yao asked with a frown when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of her slightly red face. “Do you have a fever?”

During this period of time, Ji Zhao had lost a lot of weight in order to manage Old Master Ji’s funeral.

Shen Yao even felt that if a wind blew now, it would probably blow Ji Zhao away.

“No…” Ji Zhao quickly changed the topic. “Didn’t Mother come with you?”

“Mother asked me to send food to the two of you.” Shen Yao pointed at the food box placed near the shrine platform and said softly, “Also, Mother wants you to go back later.”

“Okay!”

Ji Zhao was also a little tired. She opened the food box and took out the food inside.

There were more meat slices in the chili stir-fried meat slices, and there were also plenty of eggs in the loofah egg soup.

Ji Zhao lowered her eyes to hide the gratitude in them and lowered her head to eat.

At that time, Shen Yao had almost finished feeding Ji Chen.

“Shen Yao, thank you.” Ji Zhao looked into his eyes and smiled brightly. “My brother…”

“I know.” Shen Yao smiled and interrupted her. “Jichen needs someone to take care of him.”

“Thanks a lot.”

When it was almost dusk, Ji Zhao carried the food box in one hand and held Ji Chen’s hand in the other as they arrived at the Shen family’s courtyard.

“Mother?”

“You’re here?” Zhao Lanhua, who was fanning herself outside her courtyard, heard the familiar voice and welcomed the siblings in with a smile.

In the central room of the Shen family.

Ji Chen held onto the corner of Ji Zhao’s shirt, unwilling to let go.

Even if Zhao Lanhua gave him candy, he refused to let go.

Seeing this, Zhao Lanhua sighed faintly and looked at Ji Zhao’s face. “Ah Tao, do you have any plans in the future? I heard that your grandmother has already sold the Ji family’s house?”

“Yes.” Ji Zhao nodded honestly. “Grandmother wants to remarry, so the Ji family’s property has been settled. She’s willing to give half of Ji Chen’s assets.”

Ji Zhao thought for a moment and placed all the silver pieces on the square table.

Zhao Lanhua frowned in confusion. “What are you doing?”

“Mother, I know I haven’t paid off the money I owe the Shen family, but don’t worry. I’ll definitely earn money to pay off that sum of money… As for these, this money belong to Chenchen. Can you help me get a blanket and make two sets of clean clothes for Chenchen?”

“Although the weather is getting hotter now, it’s still a little cold at the Earth Temple at night. Chenchen has been in poor health since he was young, so I want to ask you to help me get some quilts.”

“Ah Tao, do you plan to stay in the Earth Temple with your brother for the rest of your life?” Zhao Lanhua sighed helplessly and advised earnestly, “I’ll accept this silver first, but I have another idea. Listen to it first.”

“Okay.”

“You also know that your eldest brother and sister-in-law opened a pastry shop in the county city. They can’t stay at home for more than a few days a year, so no one lives in their house all year round. I’ll take this money as the rent I collected. You and your brother can stay in the Shen residence.”

“This? This isn’t appropriate, right?” Ji Zhao hurriedly waved her hand to refuse.

“Indeed.” Shen Yao, who happened to walk into the central room, suddenly objected when he heard his mother’s suggestion.
