The wicked sister-in-law is in charge; meals include fish and shrimp.

Chapter 66 Keep on going

Helian Zhiyan raised her hand to pull Wen Luozhi, but the iron chains on her hands were too heavy for her to lift.

Wen Luozhi pursed her lips, took a cheese stick from her sleeve, and placed it in her small hand. "Have something to tide you over first, then I'll give you something delicious."

She took this out this morning to coax Xiaohu, thankfully she had already changed the packaging.

The oil in the pan was already emitting a fragrant aroma, and Wen Luozhi took the spatula and went back.

Helian Zhiyan blinked her bewildered eyes as she looked at the strange food in her hand, then looked inside at Wen Luozhi.

"Mom, have the first bite." She held the cheese stick to Lan Cai's lips, but Lan Cai shook her head and said softly, "That sister's mother fed me so much good food, I can't eat anymore. Yan'er, you can eat by yourself."

Zhiyan pouted and searched everywhere for Helian Yu and the others.

The three of them were overjoyed to see her awake. When she looked over, they all touched their own bellies and shook their heads.

She opened her mouth, took a small bite, and then happily squinted her eyes. It smelled so good and sweet!

Then she took small bites like a little hamster, one after another. Wen Zi'an scratched his head and thought she was extremely cute, just like his younger sister when she was little.

So he ran to the stove and reached out to Wen Luozhi, "Sister, I want that little white thing too."

Wen Luozhi rolled her eyes and gave him the two remaining ones from her sleeve, even though it wasn't enough to fill her fourth brother's teeth.

Wen Zi'an carefully held two cheese sticks in his large hands, then walked over and squatted down next to Zhiyan. He gently placed one in each hand and said with a smile, "Eat up, these are for you."

With her baby face revealing two adorable little teeth, she said to him, "Thank you, big brother, and thank you, fairy sister."

This must have been given to me by a fairy!

She glanced at the kitchen again, and Wen Luozhi noticed her looking over and made a face at her.

The little girl nestled back into Lan Cai's arms, giggling happily, occasionally peeking out her head and then pulling it back in.

Wen Luozhi's lips twitched as she recalled the meme and the caption: "The other party retracted a dog emoji..."

Helian Yue almost lost his composure again when he saw Helian Zhiyan wake up. He calmed down, wrote a small note, wrapped it with pebbles, and shot it in the direction of the mother and daughter.

"A-Yue! What are you doing?!" Gu Yunqi tried to stop him, but it was too late; the pebble had already hit Lan Cai's arm.

She quickly tucked the pebble into her sleeve, looked around and then into the main room, making sure no one was watching before cautiously unfolding it for a quick look.

Upon seeing this, her breathing quickened, and after destroying the note, she looked around but still couldn't see anyone, which inevitably made her somewhat disappointed.

Helian Zhiyan had just finished eating when Lan Cai gently coaxed her, "Yan'er, why don't you sleep for a while? Don't open your eyes unless your mother calls you."

Helian Zhiyan closed her eyes in a daze. She had just eaten some leftovers from lunch and felt comfortable in her stomach, so she fell asleep in no time.

Wen Luozhi brought her some food and saw that she was asleep, so she let it go. The people in the main hall had already woken up.

The leader was the first to rush out of the house, and he was only relieved after counting that everyone was present.

That's strange. I don't usually fall asleep right after eating. Could it be because I ate too well today?

Without thinking twice, he quickly went back inside, because the table was already full of food.

"Auntie, your cooking is so good, I don't want to leave after eating it!"

Xie He forced a smile. "It's just a simple home-cooked meal; I hope everyone enjoys it."

They don't want to leave yet? That's unacceptable! She couldn't wait for them to leave right now!

A few people were left to watch over the house, while the rest drank a couple of ounces of liquor and started playing drinking games inside.

Helian Zhiyan had been awake for a while but still kept her eyes closed. The trio opposite her were worried when they saw that she hadn't woken up.

Lan Cai gave them a reassuring look, and they managed to stop looking in their direction.

The village chief, still worried, checked on the village several times, and seeing that everything was alright, he brought over some food.

These people should have been dealt with by him, the village head, but now that it's their turn, he feels very guilty.

The people in the old house were gloating. When they heard that someone had gone to Wen Muchuan's house, they all showed the happiest smiles they had seen in the past few days.

"Hmph, if you ask me, they deserve it! If my Cai-ge'er doesn't get out, they won't have an easy time either."

Qian Zhaodi was hoping those people would go crazy and kill Wen Luozhi's entire family. They had sold all their land these past few days but still hadn't raised enough for one hundred taels.

To this day, we still don't know how her son Cai is doing in prison.

……

"Wen Youcai, if I had known you were like this, I would have gouged out my own eyes rather than marry you."

Yang Xiu smashed the empty bowl at Wen Youcai. She had only been dozing off for a moment, and this damned man had eaten all the food.

What they called food was actually just two small bowls of spoiled rice, but it was better than nothing! The family had given them some money so they could have a decent meal, but their in-laws hadn't come to visit them since.

Hungry and scared, Yang Xiu clung to Wen Youcai's collar, refusing to let go. "What did you say when I first married into this family? You promised me a life of luxury, and now I'm stuck in jail with you!"

"You didn't even leave me a single piece of spoiled rice! You useless man!"

Yang Xiu punched him wildly. Wen Youcai, who had been enduring him for days, finally exploded at this moment: "What's wrong with me eating a bite of your food? You still have to rely on me to live!"

"A woman follows her husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog! If you keep making trouble, I won't take you with me when I leave!" He shoved Yang Xiu away menacingly and threatened her.

Yang Xiu was scared and shrank back onto the wooden bed, hugging her knees helplessly.

They shouldn't have gone to the shop to cause trouble in the first place; now that things have turned out like this, they don't know when they'll be able to get out.

At night, the wolf cub's fur bristled, making it look like a hedgehog. To Wen Luozhi's astonishment, it grew bigger and bigger until it reached her waist before stopping.

She swallowed hard, looked at the small wolf that resembled a large dog, and uncertainly called out, "DouDou?"

The little wolf nuzzled her leg affectionately before squatting down beside her, its purple eyes fixed on the doorway.

Wen Luozhi was shocked. Why had the little wolf suddenly grown so big? But then she remembered that it was a spirit pet created by the system, and she felt a little relieved. If it could grow big all of a sudden, it could also shrink, right?

Just as it was about to tell it to turn back, the little wolf looked up at the roof and whimpered twice, then shrank back inside.

Wen Luozhi was completely baffled by it, but she lay back on the bed, extremely excited.

That's awesome! This is more than enough to guard the house! She hugged the little wolf and rolled around on the bed happily.

Gu Yunqi stood on the tree, glaring angrily at Helian Yue, "I told you not to go! But you wouldn't listen!"

That wasn't a puppy! It was a monster! No puppy can grow that big all of a sudden! Those dangerous eyes almost scared him to death!

He's most afraid of furry things! Especially such a big one!

Helian Yue was in high spirits upon seeing his family. Looking at him, she chuckled and said, "It's not going to eat you, is it? I think that guy is quite intelligent."

The world is full of wonders; he only needs to make sure his family is safe and sound, and he can't worry about anything else.

Ye Nanqiao was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night. After all this time, she was finally going to see her child.

Finally, dawn broke, and everyone looked much more energetic, except for Helian Zhiyan, who had kept his eyes closed the whole time.

The escort leader, thinking that they would be leaving at night and worried that the group might be delayed due to hunger, asked them to prepare some food for them.
