Chapter 74: Chapter 74: The Favored Wang Xing & the Grateful Zhang Family Members

Facing this question, He Cuicui couldn’t open her mouth, “Sister-in-law, I…”

She wanted to go home, but feared that her family would see her as a burden.

“Speak boldly,” Wang Xing said sincerely, “The family doesn’t lack those two bites of food for you and the child. Sister-in-law just asks you one honest question.

If you still want to live with Liu Chao, my brother and I will find a way. If you don’t plan on staying with him, Sister-in-law will bring you home, and you’ll still be the young lady of the He Family.”

He Cuicui finally broke down in tears, “Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I don’t want to live with Liu Chao anymore! He pushed me, I almost died yesterday.”

It’s impossible for her to continue living with Liu Chao.

Just imagining lying next to a beast, she felt she couldn’t breathe.

“Great! We’ll just go home then. My brother and I don’t have kids anyway, and this child, our entire family will cherish, what’s wrong with a girl?” Wang Xing said with tearful eyes, “I don’t even have a girl, truly not realizing my fortune.”

He Shun, a big man, secretly wiped tears, feeling grateful.

Wen Ran blinked, shedding the tears from her eyes, oh dear, how annoying! She didn’t want to cry.

“What’s going on, what’s going on!” A little nurse charged over aggressively, scolding loudly, “This is a hospital, not a marketplace, what are you all yelling about?

This new mother is still recovering, making her cry, crying for what? Don’t want her eyes anymore? It’s just a man!”

The little nurse waved her hand, full of bravado, “Kick him out, I’ll introduce someone better!”

Everyone: “?!”

They were stunned.

Another nurse with braids rushed over and dragged the little nurse away, “Haha, it’s okay, this girl got a bit tipsy.”

“Oh, you…”

When the two walked away, with others interrupting, the atmosphere was finally not so dead.

This incident just passed, Zhou Xiaolan took care of He Cuicui here, while Wang Xing followed Wen Ran and the team leader back home on the ox cart.

All the way they were muttering and planning what good things at home can be given to the sister-in-law during her recovery.

“That Liu Family beast, wait and see,” Wang Xing chattered, “When we have our hands free, they’ll see.”

Saying this, Wang Xing suddenly grabbed Wen Ran’s hand, “This time, truly thank you, team leader and you, without you, my sister-in-law might have…”

The team leader puffing his smoke, mumbling, “I watched them grow up, encountering this trouble, if I don’t save them, am I still human?”

“I just did it along the way,” Wen Ran was really tired of He Family’s gratitude, quickly changed the topic, “Well, He Cuicui hemorrhaged, needs something to replenish blood.”

“I know,” Wang Xing got worried about this matter, completely overlooked others, “But there isn’t anything good at home, just eggs won’t do!”

“There’s only a couple of ounces of brown sugar, that’s not enough!”

Wang Xing nudged the team leader, “Uncle, drop me at the crossroads to Wild Boar Team, I need to visit my parental home.”

Team leader: “?”

He glanced at Wang Xing, with a complex expression, “Even if you have a feud, you should fight it out in your own team, why go to Wild Boar Team asking for external aid?”

Wen Ran almost laughed to death, what’s this called?

Call for reinforcement?

Wang Xing was speechless, “Uncle, am I that unreliable? With Liu Family’s matter, let them clean their necks and wait, now I’m going to get some brown sugar, red dates from my parental home.”

Wen Ran glanced over, the team leader was already numb, “Is this suitable?”

For own daughter to eat, Wang Family wouldn’t feel heartache, but for giving it to her sister-in-law, the team leader was unsure.

“It’s suitable, just drop me off at the fork in the road.”

Finally, the three changed course and went together to Wild Boar Team, since Wang Xing wasn’t safe fighting alone, just in case something happened…

The team leader felt he couldn’t explain himself.

As for Wen Ran, as long as she didn’t have to work, everything else was fine.

Only the ox cart was truly torturous to ride, she felt her bottom becoming numb.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized last night was thrilling, with all the chaos, He Cuicui not only survived but also gave birth to her child.

The survival instinct of people is truly powerful.

Wang Family’s condition was good, lived in a large courtyard, even the roof was tiled.

Wang Xing just jumped off the cart and yelled loudly, “Mom! Mom! I’m back.”

Seven or eight kids poured out of the yard, each with a cute, chubby face, instantly surrounded Wang Xing, crying out for Auntie.

This scene made Wen Ran retract her foot that was stepping on the ground, quietly.

Too terrifying!

“Xing’er!” A short and thin elderly woman walked out of the yard, eyes glowing when she saw Wang Xing, “What brought you to see Mom?”

“Mom, I have something, lend me the family’s brown sugar quickly.”

Team leader: “?”

He was numb by now, such a bold daughter, truly not afraid of offending the elderly woman?

“Okay okay! Wait here, Mom will get it for you.”

Mrs. Wang Sr. had no questions, went inside to fetch over half a pound of brown sugar and casually grabbed about twenty eggs, “Take these to eat, come back for more if you run out.”

She cleared her throat, “Also, don’t wander at night, I’ll have your sixth brother bring you some things later.”

Wang Xing was bold but not foolish, immediately understood Mrs. Wang Sr.’s implied meaning, hastily said, “Mom, let my brother stay home for now, things aren’t safe right now, robberies everywhere.”

Mrs. Wang Sr.: “?”

She waved her hand, “Don’t be afraid, they can all go, I’ll see who dares act out.”

“Okay.”

Saying goodbye to Mrs. Wang Sr., on the way back, the team leader was truly puzzled, “Aren’t you coddled at home?”

“Indeed!” Wang Xing counted the eggs, pondering letting her sister-in-law have two a day while exchanging for some hens from other houses to stew.

Her own chickens were laying more eggs now, not worth slaughtering.

Faced with the curious gazes of the team leader and Wen Ran, Wang Xing thought for a moment, “My mother gave birth to seven sons, raised six of them, and years ago, my father went to fight the Japanese and never returned.

My mother didn’t want to live anymore, she fainted crying at my father’s funeral, and when she woke up, she found me.”

Wen Ran understood, isn’t this like stacking buffs? A girl they’ve longed for, plus a posthumous child, and also the youngest daughter, it would indeed be strange if she wasn’t pampered.

Upon arriving at the Silly Deer Team, Wen Ran jumped off the car and quickly headed back, thinking about soaking in a bath to relax a bit. After yesterday’s disturbances, even if her body isn’t smelly, it definitely doesn’t have a pleasant odor.

As a result, she bumped into the Zhang Family right at her doorstep.

To be precise, a large crowd of Zhang Family.

Wen Ran: “…”

This time, her scalp truly went numb.

“Xiao Wen,” Aunt Zhang squeezed out from the crowd. She still looked a bit disheveled, but her spirit seemed much better, “We’re here to thank you.”

“Uh, this…”

If she remembered correctly, there were about twenty to thirty grandchildren in the Zhang family, but this seemed to be more than that, right?!

She was numb; could the small courtyard really fit so many people?

“Oh, it’s Treasure Bead’s brothers and nephews. After hearing about that matter, they all wanted to thank you. I couldn’t stop them, so we just came over.”

Aunt Zhang patted her chest, “Don’t worry, every single one of them can work.”

The group of men, aged from their teens to their twenties or thirties, got excited upon hearing this, “Yes! We’re here to say thanks!”

“No, no, no, please don’t.”

Guests should be treated well.

You can’t have them doing work.

Treasure Bead ran up to Wen Ran, eyes brimming with admiration, “Sister Xiao Wen.”

“How are you?”

Treasure Bead whispered, “I’m okay, but mom and brother are not.”

She inquired, “Sister Xiao Wen, will she be punished for strangling Zhenzhu?”

Turns out, that little infant did get a name, called Zhenzhu.

Wen Ran was silent for a while, then softly replied, “She will, justice will not let anyone who does wrong get away.”

“Mm!”

This many people standing at the door wasn’t ideal; before Wen Ran could get everyone inside, she saw the team leader running towards them, out of breath, leading a group of people.

Of course, Bao Wenxuan was among them.

She was running like she used every ounce of strength from her body, “Don’t move! Don’t move!”

Rushing past the team leader, Bao Wenxuan came to an abrupt stop in front of Wen Ran, then pulled her behind her, saying warily, “What’s going on?!

What do you all want? Where did you come from?”

The team leader felt pitiful, having traveled for a day and a night, only to be dragged over like his tail was on fire by Bao Wenxuan.

But the reasoning was legitimate.

Wen Ran must have helped too many people, attracting an enemy to seek revenge.

The team leader didn’t believe it at all, given Wen Ran’s combat abilities, anyone coming at her would just be biting off more than they could chew.

But, Bao Wenxuan mentioned over thirty people.

The team leader got flustered.

Too many ants can bite and topple an elephant, no matter how powerful Wen Ran is, it’s hard to fight off four attackers alone.

After running all the way and losing half his life, the team leader realized upon seeing Aunt Zhang that it was just a false alarm.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!”

After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Bao Wenxuan’s face blushed like a monkey’s butt, exchanged a few words with Wen Ran, then quickly dragged the team leader away in a hurry.

The team leader: “…”

Oh heavens!

Oh earth!

If this keeps up, how much longer can I live?!

Wen Ran opened the door and took the Zhang Family members inside, “Come in, have a seat.”

Well, hopefully, they can find a place to sit.

Hetao was so scared by the number of people, it cowardly lay in its nest with its butt facing the door.

Wen Ran: “…”

Thanks a lot, some watchdog you are.

“No need,” Aunt Zhang waved her hand, “I brought them here to work.”

The men basically didn’t have empty hands, they brought dried vegetables, walnuts, fungus, mushrooms, and so forth, making a small pile of mountain goods.

“Auntie, what’s this…”

“These are things farm folks gather from the mountains, not worth much, take them, it’ll put our minds at ease.”

The people they brought weren’t idle, after looking around the courtyard for a while, a gentle and handsome man came over, politely and courteously, “Xiao Wen, you haven’t built a woodshed?”

Wen Ran: “?”

She was stunned for a moment and then responded, “No.”

“Alright.”

He said and then left.

Wen Ran was bewildered, what was that about?
