"Oh my, who would dare to bully you???" Little Sweetie picked up another piece of sweet and sour fish, stuffed it into her mouth, "Tsk tsk, this sweet and sour fish is really well made, so crispy and crunchy, and so chewy..." As she spoke, she winked at Wei Qingqing provocatively.

"Hmph, you're making me so angry..." Wei Qingqing pouted.

"Ignore her. You have to understand that Jixiang is part of our family. Whatever we want to eat, we'll have Jixiang make it for us..." Yang Ming quickly comforted her, not knowing whether he felt sorry for his wife or for his own battered face.

"Yes, Jixiang is our family's. From now on, whatever I want to eat, I'll have Jixiang make it. Make two portions of each, and I'll throw away one portion after I eat one..." Wei Qingqing immediately became smug, and the craving that had been bothering her disappeared without her noticing.

"What a spendthrift..." Little Sweetie glanced at Wei Qingqing with a hint of jealousy, but she was helpless. Who could blame her when the chef was as beautiful as an angel, and her husband just wasn't the kind of person who could withstand the test? If her husband could withstand the test, then she would just hire a chef herself and save herself from envying Wei Qingqing here.

Thinking of this, when he saw Zheng Dongfang lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with his body burning hot, his gaze became somewhat unfriendly.

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Wei Qingqing hummed triumphantly twice, gently stroking Yang Ming's face with her little hand, her eyes glancing smugly at Xiao Tiantian.

Seeing Wei Qingqing's provocation, Xiaotiantian became even more indignant. Her chopsticks were noticeably larger. Since she lost to Wei Qingqing in a contest with her husband, she would take her anger out on these dishes.

The old lecher, the old swindler, and Zhang Jianhui clearly sensed the tense atmosphere in the air. They consciously buried their heads in their food, knowing that the murderous aura was too strong and could easily cause accidental injuries...

"Oh dear, I'm starving..." Aunt Liu's voice rang out. As her voice faded, the curtain was lifted, and Aunt Liu walked in with a smile. She took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), sat down next to Yang Ming, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating.

"Phew, I haven't had a proper meal all day, I'm starving..." Following behind Aunt Liu was Officer Zhu. Officer Zhu didn't stand on ceremony, took off her shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), sat down next to Aunt Liu, and picked up a bowl of porridge to drink.

"Zhu Yun didn't come?" Yang Ming asked.

"No, Miss Zhu said she needed to take care of Miss Liu and the two Miss Zhangs, so she asked me to deliver the food to them..." Ruyi lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Oh..." Yang Ming nodded slightly, "Then take the food to them..."

"Yes, sir..." Ruyi quickly replied.

"By the way, where's Bao'er? Why didn't Bao'er come to eat?" Yang Ming suddenly realized that his precious daughter was missing from the table.

"Never mind her, that little thing is playing on the computer at home..." Aunt Liu said while eating.

"Jixiang, send some food over to Bao'er..." Yang Ming said.

"Yes..." Jixiang quickly replied.

The meal was eaten very quickly. After all, the food was delicious. Judging from how fast everyone ate, it was practically a scramble. In this situation, if you were slow, you would basically miss out. This scene of people starving to death made Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing, who were watching from the side, feel extremely contemptuous, as if they hadn't eaten in countless lifetimes.

"Sigh..." After a hearty meal, the old lecher picked his teeth. "This is the first time in my life I've ever felt that food in this world can taste so good. I've lived a worthwhile life..."

"Tch..." The old swindler rubbed his stomach and said disdainfully, "Human food??? As if you, Old Du, have attained immortality and no longer eat human grains..."

"I'm happy to do it, what's it to you???" The old lecher smirked, glancing at the old swindler. He was having a good meal today, so he wouldn't bother arguing with the swindler.

"Alright, alright, gentlemen, stop bickering. It's getting late, let's hurry back and come up with an effective way to rescue our Boss Zhao from his clutches..." Zhang Jianhui said with a bitter expression.

"Huh???" Upon hearing this, the old lecher and the old swindler's eyes lit up at the same time, and they secretly praised Zhang Jianhui for his cleverness.

"Our Boss Zhao is currently in dire straits, and he's counting on you two to come to his rescue..." Zhang Jianhui said, bowing deeply to the two men.

"That's right, a dignified Tai Chi master openly abducted people, completely disregarding the law. Such behavior truly deserves to be called evil and heretical. We, as righteous people, naturally must eliminate this demon and save the people from suffering..." the old lecher said righteously.

"That's right, that's right! The Wudang Sect even calls itself the leader of the righteous path. I spit in their face..." the old swindler said indignantly.

"Oh dear, with the help of these two seniors, our Boss Zhao has nothing to worry about..." Zhang Jianhui chimed in, playing the straight man.

As they talked, the three of them got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and slipped away.

"Hiccup... I'm leaving too, you guys keep chatting..." Officer Zhu let out a burp, patted her belly, and unceremoniously slid to the ground, put on her shoes, and left.

"Hmm... When Dongfang wakes up, we'll leave too, to make room for you three..." Little Sweetie leaned against the end of the kang (heated brick bed), smiling at the three of them.

"Nonsense..." Aunt Liu blushed, glared at Little Sweetie, leaned against the headboard, and waved her little hands for a long time without finding anything to do, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What are you scratching?" Yang Ming asked.

"Um, I... I forgot my chores at the cabin..." Only now did Aunt Liu realize that she had been staying at the cabin for the past two days and had forgotten about her chores there.

"Jixiang, tidy up the table. Ruyi, go to the wooden hut and get some work for Sister Liu..." Yang Ming instructed.

"Yes..." The two women quickly responded. Jixiang tidied the table, while Ruyi went out through the back door to the wooden house in the back garden to get work for Aunt Liu.

"Look how considerate she is..." Little Sweetie deliberately provoked Wei Qingqing.

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing wasn't angry at all. The kiss she shared with Aunt Liu today had given her a strange feeling. Although it wouldn't turn her into a lesbian, it was real. She felt like she was as close as sisters with Aunt Liu.

"Hey, when your husband wakes up, take him away. Don't be a third wheel in our house..." Yang said, glancing at the scheming Little Sweetie.

"I'm not leaving, what can you do to me???" Little Sweetie giggled.

"What can I do to you??? Hehehe..." Yang Ming grinned mischievously, "Of course not much, but Second Brother always keeps glancing at our Jixiang, hehehehe..."

"Despicable..." Although she didn't know if Yang Ming was telling the truth, some things are just baseless rumors, and Little Sweetie would never take that risk. She glared at Yang Ming fiercely.

"Jixiang, turn on the TV and switch to Inner Mongolia TV for me, it's already 7:30..." Wei Qingqing said smugly.

"Yes..." Jixiang, who was tidying up the table, quickly wiped her hands on her apron, then turned on the TV and broadcast Inner Mongolia Satellite TV.

"Corruption..." In the TV program "Life is like a walled city...", Little Sweetie glanced at Wei Qingqing with disdain, then widened her eyes and started watching the program.

"If you're jealous, just say so. We're not petty. If you ask, we won't treat you badly. Introducing you a nanny even prettier than Jixiang isn't a big deal..." Wei Qingqing said smugly.

"Hmph..." Little Sweetie snorted and didn't respond. Her attitude towards hiring a nanny was very clear: absolutely not, especially not a nanny as beautiful as Ji Xiang Ru Yi. She shouldn't even think about stepping into their house...

Before long, Ruyi returned with Liu Sao's work. After handing the work to Liu Sao, Ruyi went to the outer room to help Jixiang tidy up the house. Liu Sao picked up the work and started working quickly. Her little feet reached up to Yang Ming's waist, slipped inside Yang Ming's clothes, and gently pressed on Yang Ming's waist with her feet.

"Jixiang, has Teacher Wang settled the payment yet?" Yang Ming suddenly remembered that he had settled the payment for the Confucian robe with Wang Zhengzhi this afternoon.

"It's settled, the money's all here with me, sir, do you want it?" Jixiang ran into the room and said.

"No need, you can keep it. In a little while, you and Ruyi can make two sets of Hanfu. From now on, you can only wear Hanfu at home, understand???" Yang Ming said.

"Yes, sir..." Jixiang replied respectfully.

"Alright, go ahead and do your work..." Yang Ming waved his hand and said.

"Yes..." Jixiang replied, then turned and left.

"Um..." Little Sweetie lowered her voice, turned to the side, and stared intently at Yang Ming, "You stinky farmer, why do I feel like Jixiang Ruyi has a bit of a servile attitude??? Tell me, where did you find those two...?"

"Where did you find her??? Don't bother asking..." Yang Ming smiled slightly, reached to his waist, gently grabbed Liu Sao's toes, and then gently rubbed and kneaded them. Liu Sao's little face turned red in an instant.

"What a character..." Little Sweetie rolled her eyes at Yang Ming. "Now that you've married a wife, you're acting like a stranger to your sister-in-law. Back in school, didn't you always confide in your sister-in-law about everything?"

"How dare you say that??? You big mouth, every time I've told you something, you've spread it all over the world???" Yang Ming glared at Xiao Tiantian hatefully.

"Hehe, you can't blame your sister-in-law. You know, if your second brother asks, would your sister-in-law dare not answer?" Little Sweetie said with an embarrassed smile.

"Hmph, I knew all along that you were sent by those three to find out my secrets, so I always tell you only half of what I have to say, hehehe..." Yang Ming said smugly.

"So you did this on purpose..." Little Sweetie's face turned dark instantly, and her big, fiery eyes stared intently at Yang Ming.

"Well, I was just joking with you guys..." Yang Ming said with an embarrassed smile.

"Are you kidding me??? Do you know how many times your joke has caused those three guys to make a fool of themselves??? The worst time was when you tricked them into going into the girls' restroom and they even saw the headmaster. They got a warning for it and almost got expelled..." Little Sweetie's face turned bright red.

"Well, I absolutely told you everything back then, I definitely didn't keep half of it. I can guarantee it. I just made a bet with Boss Zhu..." Yang Ming quickly said.

Back then, Yang Ming and Zhu Yun were competing with each other, neither willing to concede, and it was quite boring, so they made an equally boring bet: Yang Ming would go into the women's restroom once, and Zhu Yun would go into the men's restroom once and take a dump inside. Whoever could do it would win, and they agreed that this would be their last competition, commonly known as the "final showdown".

"Then how did you beat Boss Zhu??? You weren't really so perverted as to take a dump in the women's restroom, were you???" Little Sweetie looked at Yang Ming with some disdain. To be honest, none of them knew how Yang Ming won that time, but they were certain that Yang Ming did win, and he even won against Zhu Yun completely.

"Don't think of me as something so despicable. Winning against that muscular woman, Boss Zhu, is actually quite simple. I just swapped the signs in the men's and women's restrooms. Once I won, I switched them back. Who knew those three guys would just sneak into the women's restroom..." Yang Ming chuckled and said.

"You made it sound so serious back then, like it was the final battle and all that, I... I just misunderstood..." Sweetie's face turned red.

"This is your responsibility, it has nothing to do with me..." Yang Ming quickly distanced himself. That time was the most embarrassing time for the three brothers. The warning was issued in the form of a school-wide announcement. Yang Ming dared not take responsibility for that. Otherwise, even after many years, the three brothers could still make him suffer.

"You're trying to distance yourself, but do you know how many beatings I've taken because of you??? Those three were there to help you..." Little Sweetie's face turned bright red when she talked about being beaten, and it was clear that the beatings she received were quite unusual.

"Hey, even though you're the second sister-in-law, you can't be this unreasonable. I made it perfectly clear to you back then that you absolutely, absolutely couldn't tell those three. What did you promise me back then??? Did those three come to my aid??? They were clearly just there to laugh at me. Otherwise, what would the eldest be doing with that digital camera???" Yang Ming said.

"Um..." Little Sweetie blushed and stammered, "Back then, right? The three of them were just covering for you and gathering some information on the side..."

"So, they just used the head of the teaching department's information???" Yang Ming chuckled slyly, a look of schadenfreude on his face.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I don't want to know where the good fortune came from. Even if you're a human trafficker, I won't care. Is that alright?" Little Sweetie rolled her eyes and said.

"That's really awful. What do you mean by human traffickers who abduct women? Would we do something so heinous?" Wei Qingqing rolled her eyes at Xiaotian and said.

"Hmph..." Little Sweetie snorted twice, "Don't get too cocky. Let me remind you... don't forget our bet. Today's almost over, and there's still no sign of my sister-in-law..."

"What's the rush? Isn't it still tomorrow morning?" Wei Qingqing said dismissively.

"Huh??? What sister-in-law???" Yang Ming asked.

"We called my sister-in-law today and told her that our eldest son is going to become a Taoist priest. Then we hung up. Your wife said that my sister-in-law would be here as early as today or as late as tomorrow. I thought to myself, we didn't even give her the address. It's no wonder she can't find us so quickly. So we made a bet. Whoever wins gets to ask the other one a question. The winner has to answer honestly..." Little Sweetie said.

"Second sister-in-law, you've been so smart all your life, but you've made a foolish mistake. Have you forgotten how they met?" Yang Ming scolded Xiao Tiantian with a pained expression.

"How did they meet???" Little Sweetie thought for a moment, then her face turned pale. "Hacker, my sister-in-law is a hacker, how could I forget???"

"That's right. With your skills, hacking into China Mobile is a piece of cake. Finding your location will be a piece of cake for you too..." Yang Ming said.

"Hmph, Second Sister-in-law, I'll 'ask' you properly..." Wei Qingqing glanced at Little Sweetie and said smugly.

Well……

With a groan, Zheng Dongfang suddenly opened his eyes. His body temperature and skin color had slowly returned to normal.

"Where am I??? Why do I feel so tired???" Zheng Dongfang said.

"Dongfang, Dongfang, you're awake???" Little Sweetie quickly crawled over, her hands on Zheng Dongfang's sides, looking at him with concern.

"Sweetie???" Zheng Dongfang steadied himself, recognized the person in front of him, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek. "I thought I'd never see you again in this life. From now on, I'll never dare to eat anything indiscriminately again..."

"You know that's good..." Yang Ming pressed his foot on his cheek. "How does it feel? Anything that's uncomfortable?"

"My whole body aches, and you even molested me..." Zheng Dongfang struggled to raise his hand and hit Yang Ming's foot, complaining as he did so.

"Whose fault is this??? I told you not to drink it, but you wouldn't listen..." Yang Ming pulled his feet back and said gloatingly.

"My brother suffered so much, and you didn't even offer to comfort me, instead you made sarcastic remarks. Are you even my brother?" Zheng Dongfang said angrily.

"You're still feeling wronged??? Do you know how much of a bargain you got??? That bag of milk has special effects, and it's enough for a hundred people, and it all went into your stomach..." Yang Ming said with a pained expression.

"Oh???" Zheng Dongfang's eyes lit up. "Tell me, what special effects does it have???"

"Have you ever heard of special abilities?" Yang Ming didn't intend to hide it from Zheng Dongfang. After all, Zheng Dongfang had already drunk milk. Even if he didn't tell him, because his genes were already complete, he would gradually develop various strange abilities in the future.

"Are you kidding me??? Drinking your milk will give me superpowers???" Zheng Dongfang's first reaction was disbelief.

"What do you mean 'my breasts'??? I'm a man, where would I get breasts???" Yang Ming was speechless.

"Hehe..." The three women all laughed.

"Hehehe..." Zheng Dongfang also laughed.

"If you don't believe me, just ask your wife how high your temperature was just now..." Yang Ming said.

"It was like boiling water, it scalded me to death! Look, I'm almost getting blisters here. Luckily, I was wearing thick clothes..." Before Zheng Dongfang could even ask, Xiaotian rolled up her arms and said.
