Looking at her cute sleeping face, Shen Yao could not help but laugh.
However, he could not help but slow down his footsteps.
He walked to Ji Zhao’s side, leaned over gently, and pecked her cheek.
“Good night.”
The next morning, the moment Ji Zhao pushed open the door, a light white hibiscus suddenly appeared in front of her.
“What a beautiful hibiscus flower.” Ji Zhao took the hibiscus flower with a smile.
“This is the Drunken Hibiscus,” Shen Yao explained with a gentle smile.
“However, I feel that Ah Tao is more beautiful than this hibiscus flower.”
Ji Zhao lowered her eyes shyly and muttered softly, “You secretly smeared honey on your mouth so early in the morning?”
“Then do you want to try it, Ah Tao?” Seeing her shy look, Shen Yao could not help but raise his eyebrows and smile.
Ji Zhao pretended not to hear this. She turned around and returned to her room to find a small vase. She placed the hibiscus flower inside.
Looking at the drunken hibiscus, she could not help but smile.
It felt good to be able to receive fresh flowers the moment she opened her eyes.
“Ah Tao, have you heard of the Three Drunkun Hibiscus?” Shen Yao stood beside her and asked softly.
“Huh?” Ji Zhao looked at him curiously.
“I remember reading about the Three Drunken Hibiscus in a book. In the morning, the Drunken Hibiscus Flower first bloomed. The flower crown was white and gradually turned pink. From afternoon to evening, it would turn dark red when it withered. Therefore, the color of the flower changed three times a day, so it’s nicknamed the Three Drunken Hibiscus.” Shen Yao could not help but hold her shoulder and explain in a gentle tone.
“So that’s how it is.” Ji Zhao smiled in realization. “Then let’s come back at dusk to take a look at this Drunken Hibiscus?”
“Mm.”
In the kitchen, Zhao Lanhua specially cooked red bean porridge for Ji Zhao.
When Ji Zhao found out that Shen Yao had told Zhao Lanhua about her period, she felt both shy and sweet.
“Ah Tao, does your stomach hurt?” Zhao Lanhua carefully observed Ji Zhao’s expression and asked with concern, “Don’t touch cold water for the next few days. Also, you have to rest more. Why do I feel like you don’t look so good?”
“Mother, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly. “My stomach doesn’t hurt at all, and I’m in good spirits!”
“If you feel any discomfort, remember to tell me, okay?” Zhao Lanhua reminded her carefully.
“Yes, I know.”
After the family finished their breakfast, Shen Dashan went out to look for the village chief.
After all, the land temple at the back of the mountain was considered a public property of Shanghe Village. If the Shen family wanted to dig on it, they had to report to the village. After all, some procedures still had to be followed.
Ji Zhao wanted to go too, but Shen Yao stopped her.
“Father can handle this matter.” Shen Yao could not help but pinch her cheek and say softly, “Let’s go back to the house. I have something to tell you.”
“Alright.” Ji Zhao nodded obediently.
After the two of them returned to the house together, Shen Yao handed her the blueprint he had drawn last night.
“This is?” Ji Zhao stared at the contents of the blueprint, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Since there’s a chance to renovate the Earth Temple this time, I thought about it and decided to build it more imposingly.” Shen Yao looked into her eyes and explained with a gentle gaze, “Ah Tao, I know you’ve always been very grateful to the Earth God. Didn’t you promise the Earth God that you would definitely repair his golden body? I think we should take this opportunity to do it together, right?”
“I think this idea is indeed good.” Ji Zhao subconsciously rubbed her chin and finally smiled bitterly. “But if we build according to this blueprint, we’ll have to invest a lot of money, right? Of course, it’s not that I’m unwilling to spend money, but I don’t have so much money now…”
“I plan to gather everyone to raise money together.” Shen Yao smiled and explained the plan in greater detail.
After listening to the entire plan, Ji Zhao silently gave him a thumbs up.
“Shen Yao, aren’t you too smart?”
“You’re my wife. How can I not be smart?” Shen Yao tapped the tip of her nose affectionately and smiled gently.
“Although these two sentences sound completely unrelated, I know you’re praising me. Hehe, I want to give you a reward.” Ji Zhao took a step forward and gently wrapped her arms around his waist. Her intimate tone was filled with coquettishness. “I’ll reward you with a kiss, okay?”
Shen Yao looked down at her bright smile and his heart skipped a beat. He slowly approached her—
Knock knock knock~
Ji Zhao could feel her heart beating faster.
“Ji Ah Tao, you heartless b*tch. You ungrateful b*tch, get out here!”
Before Shen Yao’s lips could land on her face, a voice suddenly sounded outside the Shen family’s courtyard.
Ji Huai shot a look at the fat woman beside him as he shouted loudly, “You bastard! You actually colluded with the head of the gambling den to chop off my hands! I’m your biological cousin. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”
“Dear fellow villagers, come and judge!”
In the crowd, there was a fat woman dressed in mourning clothes. She wailed at the top of her lungs, “This Ji Ah Tao is really too evil! She killed my mother-in-law! Boohoo! Oh my god, is there still justice in this world?”
“Aren’t you Pan Erlai’s wife?” Soon, someone in the crowd recognized the fat woman kneeling on the ground and came forward curiously. “I say, someone from the Lai family, why are you here in Shanghe Village?”
“Auntie, I am indeed Erlai’s wife. My father-in-law is Old Pan. A few months ago, my father-in-law married Ji Ah Tao’s grandmother.”
When the fat woman saw that everyone’s gaze was on her face, she immediately became energetic. “Although this she’s not her biological grandmother, it’s fate that they can become a family! But two days ago, someone from the county office came and captured my mother-in-law!”
“After that, Father-in-law brought us around to ask around. In the end, we never expected this…” The fat woman deliberately paused to hook the attention of the onlookers.
In the end, she cried and wiped her tears. She choked and said, “It was Ji Ah Tao who held a grudge and deliberately went to the county office to falsely accuse my mother-in-law of human trafficking, causing my mother-in-law to be arrested! In the end, my father-in-law wanted to commit suicide, and there was no one to take care of the children. The family has already become a mess…”
“No way? Why would Ah Tao falsely accuse her grandmother?”
“Yes, yes. Did you misunderstand?”
“There’s no misunderstanding!” The fat woman anxiously stood up from the ground. “Now that my mother-in-law has been arrested, it’s really Ji Ah Tao’s doing!”
Whoosh—
Before the woman could speak, a basin of vegetable washing water was splashed on her.
Rotten vegetable leaves drooped on her head, making her look extremely disheveled.
