Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

Back then, when the Wang and Sun families went to the Zhou family to cause trouble, Zhou Xiaoli had kicked both of them. Everyone in the village knew about it.

At that time, many people said behind her back that Miss Zhou was fierce and might not be able to find a husband in the future.

Therefore, Bao Meifang subconsciously cowered, afraid that Zhou Xiaoli would alight from the donkey cart to kick her for real.

However, she was indignant!

Now the village often mocked her about the beetroots, saying that she had gone for wool and come home shorn.

Thev even said that the Lu familv was unluckv. In the hands of the Lu familv. the beetroots were trash that could not be disposed of.

In the hands of the Zhou family, it became a treasure.

This comparison was infuriating and she was furious.

As the saying went, jealousy drove people crazy. This Bao Meifang was so agitated that her eyes were red.

Hence, she became stubborn and did not move. She even shouted loudly, “Zhou family, aren’t you too selfish!”

“Now that you have the method to make sugar, you should announce it and tell everyone in our village for us to get rich together. Isn’t that right, everyone?!”

Many of the surrounding villagers were tempted. Who didnt want to earn money?

However, they were not as shameless as Bao Meifang. They only thought about it in their hearts and did not show it out.

Zhou Xiaoli was so angry that she laughed. Bao Meifang.s shamelessness knows no bounds.

Since that was the case, Zhou Xiaoli shrugged and said calmly, ‘iWei Chiyu also has a part in coming up with the method to make sugar. Why don’t you ask him?”

Bao Meifang was deeply afraid of Wei Chiyu.

That was the living King of Hell who had almost set them on fire and roasted her son.

She couldn’t help but keep quiet.

However, she still acted shamelessly. “If you don’t give me the formula today, don’t even think about leaving. Unless… unless you step over me.” Zhou Xiaoli sneered, as if she did not dare to do so.

She immediately said, “A good dog does not block the path. It’s not our responsibility that she chooses to block the road. Father, let’s go! If she still wants to lie in the middle of the road, we’ll just ride the cart over her!”

Zhou Yu was very annoyed with Bao Meifang as well, but since she was a woman, he could not argue with her.

Therefore, when he heard Zhou Xiaoli’s words, he immediately whipped the reins. The donkey let out a cry and charged towards Bao Meifang.

A person like Bao Meifang seemed to be very ruthless, but she cherished her life very much. As soon as the donkey cart moved, she screamed and ran to the side of the road.

Then, Zhou Xiaoli and Zhou Yu left with Bao Meifang cursing behind.

The cart slowed down when they almost reached home.

The donkey cart turned a corner and from afar, they saw a few children playing outside the Liu familys house.

Two were climbing up the trees by the roadside.

She walked closer and took a look. Good lord!

Zhou Xiaoli almost cried out in surprise. Wasn’t the one hugging and climbing the tree haDDilv Zhou Xiaovu?

Zhou Yu rushed over and pulled her down.

“You little girl! You jump up and down all day long, but you actually dare to climb a tree today. Would you climb the roof tomorrow? Would you go into the river the day after tomorrow?

After scolding Zhou Xiaoyu, Zhou Yu l s brows were knitted into a frown, and his face was filled with worry.

He would never have thought that a cute and adorable girl would be so energetic and restless.

Zhou Xiaoyu patted Zhou Yu l s chest. “Father, Father, I want to help the little bird home, not climb the tree.”

As she spoke, she pointed at a young bird under the tree and an especially excited wolf.

The wolf cub seemed to be very curious about the baby bird and was extremely excited.

It jumped in front of the baby bird and suddenly jumped over. It rubbed its mouth against the baby bird and jumped away. Then, it jumped close to it again.

The baby bird curled up under the tree, trembling, helpless and pitiful.

Zhou Xiaoli covered her face. She was too ashamed to continue looking at the scene in front of her. She hurried forward and stopped the Silver Wolf, which was overly excited.

If it continued playing like this, the young bird would be traumatized for life.

“Howl, howl-

The Silver Wolf, which was being hugged by Zhou Xiaoli, was very unhappy. It was still jumping up and down in protest.

Zhou Xiaoli patted the wolf cubs head. “Be good. You can’t play with the little bird anymore. You would scare it.”

On the other hand, Zhou Yu was still surprised that Zhou Xiaoyu had gone up a tree to dig for a bird’s nest!

Zhou Xiaoli felt that Zhou Yu was very funny at this moment. She had already climbed up the tree, so why was he concerned about her climbing up the tree?

On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoyu explained anxiously to Zhou Yu that she was not going up a tree to dig for a bird’s nest. She was going up a tree to help the bird go home.

In the end, under Liu Fengfeng and the other children’s flustered explanations, she finally explained the matter clearly.

It turned out that while they were playing under the tree, the baby bird suddenly fell from the tree.

Then, after discussing it, they unanimously decided to help the young bird go home.

Hence, the scene they saw when they were returning home, happened.

Zhou Xiaoyu pouted and said, “Father, little birdie has left its mother. He must miss home. Let’s help him go home, okay?”

Zhou Yu patted the dirt off Zhou Xiaoyu’s body. “Okay, leave it to Father.”

As he spoke, he stood up and held the baby bird in his hand. Then, he raised his head and searched the tree. After confirming the location of the bird nest, he tied his clothes on his waist and climbed up quickly.

Zhou Xiaoyu’s mouth was agape as she said in surprise, “Father is so good at climbing trees.”

After Zhou Yu placed the bird in the bird’s nest, he jumped down from the tree.

“Alright, the bird has already gone home. Go and play. Don’t climb the tree anymore.”

The children clapped their hands happily. “The bird’s home. The bird’s home.”

Then, they swarmed elsewhere to play.

Zhou Xiaoli also let go of the wolf cub.

The Silver Wolf seemed reluctant to part with the little bird and even circled around the tree a few times.

In the end, when he heard Zhou Xiaoli’s call, he ran home like a wisp of smoke.

After a long delay in the morning, Zhou Xiaoli did not go up the mountain.

In the past four days, they had made a lot of sugar. They could now make about

12 kilograms in one morning.

Now, there are almost 80 kilograms of sugar at home.

Everyone was talking about selling the sugar.

Lin Xiujuan said, “Let’s go tomorrow. There is too much sugar at home. We don’t have space to keep them around.”

Liu Yan nodded and said in embarrassment, “Sure, but my Yongyan has to go to school tomorrow and cant go to the county city to sell sugar. The others don’t know how to sell it, so I’ll have to trouble Little Li to do it.”

Hearing this, Zhang Lan smiled. “It’s nothing. Just let Little Li go again. It won’t be troublesome.”

Zhou Xiaoli also nodded. “That’s right, it’s alright. I also like to go to the county

Most importantly, if she wanted to buy stones in the future, she had to go to the county city more diligently.

At this moment, Lin Xiujuan said, “But you can’t always go, Little Li. She still has to go up the mountain to learn from her master.”

“Let my husband learn from Little Li this time and he can bring the others next time.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Zhang Lan Lengs green bean tea was ready. When she saw Zhou Yu had returned, she called out, “Hubby, go and send the tea to the construction workers..”
