Chapter 53
Watching as everyone left, Xiao Taohua finally slowly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
At first, he thought that with his skills, he would definitely be able to make a splash here.
But he did not expect that in the first round, he would be completely defeated.
What kind of charm does Lin Zaozao's little fat ball have that she can attract five plague gods to guard her side!
Or is there something about her that Ji Fantian and the others can take advantage of!
Thinking of this, the heart that Xiao Taohua was holding slowly relaxed.
It was still early! He didn't believe that after spending more time with the little fat ball Lin Zaozao, he wouldn't be able to discover the secret on her body. After all, when it came to dealing with women, he, the poisonous playboy, was the most capable.
In the afternoon, Lin Zaozao rubbed her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a while. But when she turned her head, she saw Ji Fantian carefully wrapping some herbs.
"Little fatty, you're awake?"
"Don't call me little fatty. One day, I will lose weight."
Lin Zaozao wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and slowly sat up from the bed.
"Ji Fantian, where did you get those herbs?"
"Murong Hai gathered them from the mountain. Lin Zaozao, how do you know what I'm holding is herbs and not just some weeds?"
"Hey! That's because I don't think you would play with a blade of grass with your temper!"
"Lin Zaozao, you seem to understand me pretty well!"
"I don't understand you well. But Ji Fantian, I know clearly in my heart that you are not a bad person."
Hearing Lin Zaozao's frank words, the corners of Ji Fantian's mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Didn't this little fatty Lin Zaozao hate him before? Why is she praising him today?
"Lin Zaozao, seeing that you're saying nice things about me, let me give you a piece of advice. Remember, in this world, except for yourself, don't trust anyone.
I'm telling you, in this world, there is no good without reason, and no bad without reason. Understand?"
"Yeah! I understand."
Lin Zaozao put on her shoes, walked to Ji Fantian's side from the bed, looked into his eyes earnestly, and asked puzzledly,
"Ji Fantian, how long have your eyes been blind?"
"Lin Zaozao, don't you feel your questions are a bit too direct?"
"Not direct. Besides, as long as I'm here, your eyes will get better anyway."
"Lin Zaozao, you mean you can cure my eyes?" Ji Fantian stopped what he was doing in surprise and said,
"I can. But Ji Fantian, can you tell me what exactly caused your blindness? After all, your eyes look quite attractive."
Looking at Ji Fantian's eyes that had lost their luster, Lin Zaozao lamented regretfully,
"Some things are inconvenient for me to tell you about. If I really told you, I'd be afraid it would bring you endless troubles."
"Alright then! Don't say anymore. To be honest, the thing I hate most is trouble."
Lin Zaozao said with a pouted mouth supporting her chin.
"Afraid of trouble? How come you keep bringing people back home! This yard is so small, if you bring people back, would you really have that Xiao Taohua sleep in your room?"
"We'll see when the time comes! If he wants to sleep, let him sleep!"
"Little fatty, aren't you afraid he would take advantage of you?"
"Do you think he will? Or do you think Xiao Taohua would even look at me?"
"Indeed he wouldn't look at you."
"Then that's fine. Since he doesn't look at me, why would I be afraid to sleep next to him."
Lin Zaozao said with a shrug, looking at Ji Fantian's eyes mysteriously and asked,
"Isn't Xiao Taohua's identity a bit unusual?"
"Yes! Indeed it's unusual."
"So what exactly is his identity?"
"Little fatty, I think it's better if you don't know. After all, I'm afraid if you know, it would bring you trouble."
"Humph, mysterious."
With that said, Lin Zaozao placed both hands over Ji Fantian's eyes and stared closely at his face.
One word, immortal!
Two words, true immortal!
Three words, too immortal!
"Lin Zaozao, let go."
"I know, I know. It's just touching you, how could I make you lose a piece of meat!"
Lin Zaozao withdrew her hands from his eyes, made a face at Ji Fantian, then walked out towards the outside.
After Lin Zaozao left, Ji Fantian put his hand over his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
This little fatty Lin Zaozao thought she was doing things without anyone knowing.
But how could she not know that of the people standing in front of her, which one was not a cunning person!
As soon as Lin Zaozao walked out of the room, she saw Ruo Qiu working under the eaves. She lightened her footsteps, tiptoeing inch by inch behind Ruo Qiu. Then, with a tiger pouncing movement, she directly jumped onto Ruo Qiu’s back.
Fortunately, Ruo Qiu had already noticed the movement behind him. At first, he thought Lin Zaozao only wanted to startle him!
But how could he have imagined that Lin Zaozao, the little fatty, would actually jump onto his back.
It was also fortunate that he had a good foundation, otherwise wouldn't she have pressed him to the ground at this moment?
"Lin Zaozao, get off me."
Ruo Qiu pulled at the arm Lin Zaozao had fastened around his neck, trying to shake her off.
But Lin Zaozao, who was well prepared, stubbornly hugged Ruo Qiu's neck tightly, wrapping her little fat legs around Ruo Qiu's waist, absolutely refusing to come down.
"Lin Zaozao, get off quickly. If you don't get off, I'll directly shake you off."
Feeling that Ruo Qiu was really angry, Lin Zaozao was also afraid that if she kept pressing down on him, she would really press him to the ground.
So Lin Zaozao obediently jumped off Ruo Qiu's back.
"Ruo Qiu, are you busy?"
"Busy!"
Seeing Ruo Qiu turning his back around to continue working, Lin Zaozao hurriedly grabbed the tools from his hands. Ignoring his struggles, she directly pulled him to the wall.
"Ruo Qiu, these two days I have carefully observed the house opposite, it seems no one is living there. Do you think I should go to the village chief and ask if I can buy it down?"
"Little fatty, what do you want to buy a house for?"
"Of course it's for living, what else can it be for! Ruo Qiu, our small broken yard is broken, small and leaking rain. But the house opposite has more rooms and looks quite solid and decent.
What do you think, if we buy it and move in there, wouldn't it be much better!"
"Lin Zaozao, buying a house requires money, do you have it?"
"I have money, enough money. As long as the price is not unreasonably expensive, let's go to the village chief now to see if we can buy the house."
Seeing the shiny eyes of Lin Zaozao, Ruo Qiu turned his head again to look over the house opposite. His eyes flashed with a hint of smile.
The mice who had been watching them all this time should have nowhere to hide now!
"Zaozao, while there's still some time before meal, shall we, go to the village chief's house now?"
"Great, let's go now."
Facing Ruo Qiu's radiant face, Lin Zaozao grabbed his hand and walked out of the yard.
"Lin Zaozao, I'm about to start cooking, won’t you eat?" Xiao Taohua stood at the kitchen door and asked puzzledly.
"Xiao Taohua, go cook first, we'll be right back."
With a wave towards Xiao Taohua, Lin Zaozao pulled Ruo Qiu towards the village chief's house.
"Ruo Qiu, does my hair look messy?"
"You just got out of bed, what do you think?"
"Oh crap, going to see the village chief with a chicken’s nest for hair, won't that be a bit embarrassing? Also, when going to see the village chief, shouldn't I prepare some gifts for him? Going there empty-handed doesn’t seem right?"
Lin Zaozao stopped in her tracks, looking at Ruo Qiu blankly and asked.
"What to do then? Shall we go tomorrow instead?"
Lin Zaozao's words also made Ruo Qiu stop in his tracks.
That's right! To meet the elders of the village, they must be sticklers for etiquette. Asking the village chief for help empty-handed was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"Then shall we go back now?"
"Let's go back then! Going to see the village chief empty-handed, the etiquette is indeed lacking."
With an involuntary soft sigh, when Lin Zaozao pulled Ruo Qiu’s hand to turn back, a woman blocked their way.
"Lin Xiaohua!"
Lin Zaozao sized up the thin woman in front of her, unable to think for a moment who she was.
But when she saw the dozen or so men behind her, she remembered at once. This wretched woman was Zhao Yingmei, the old lecherous woman who had harassed her family's Gu Shan last time.
Why was she blocking their way? Could it be that this old lecherous woman had taken a fancy to her family's Ruo Qiu upon seeing him?
Thinking of this, Lin Zaozao's eyes towards Zhao Yingmei were not kind. How could this shameless old woman have so much audacity as to set her sights on her husband!
Had the lesson she gave her last time not been enough?
"Lin Xiaohua, out for a walk?"
Zhao Yingmei tilted her body to the side, her tone coy as she greeted Lin Zaozao. But her eyes were practically glued to Ruo Qiu's body.
Damn it, she had guessed right after all. This Zhao Yingmei woman really was incorrigible, actually setting her sights on Ruo Qiu.
