Chapter 38

After a period of chaos, Zhou Yubai and his team were about to go to work.

Zhou Yubai was worried about Shen Qingli, but Shen Qingli said nothing and walked back carrying two thermos bottles.

She didn’t believe that Zhou Yubai would fall in love with Song Xiaocao.

It’s not that she is blindly confident. With her face and figure, no normal person would be attracted to Song Xiaocao.

She just felt uncomfortable, as if this thing was hers but someone was actually thinking about it. Even though she knew it was still hers, she couldn’t help feeling bad.

Zhou Yubai looked at the lost back of his wife and felt like he had been kicked hard in the heart.

He wanted to go home with Shen Qingli right away, explain to her, and make it clear to her that he had never liked any woman before her, and after being with her, he could not tolerate any other woman.

“Yubai, Qingli is not an unreasonable person. She may just be feeling uncomfortable. You just need to talk to her when you go back home in the evening.” The captain came over and patted Zhou Yubai on the shoulder.

“Yeah.” Zhou Yubai nodded and went to work with everyone.

Shen Qingli walked out for a distance, released her mental power, and quickly locked onto Song Xiaocao.

“Wow, I’m going to my aunt’s house first. It’s too far from our Shuixia Village and I’m cold.” Song Xiaocao cried. The two people who were sending her off felt embarrassed and naturally didn’t bother to make any more trouble. They just went wherever she said to go.

Send Song Xiaocao directly to Widow Zhou’s home.

Shen Qingli walked in front. Her way home was different from Widow Zhou’s, so she didn’t need to walk with Song Xiaocao.

Shen Qingli walked to the courtyard and stopped.

Her mental focus was still on Song Xiaocao. Until they entered Widow Zhou’s house, Song Xiaocao didn’t say a word except crying.

The people who sent her in, after seeing her off, immediately turned around and ran back to work. They really didn’t want to have anything to do with Song Xiaocao.

Originally, it would have been enough to send her alone, but everyone was afraid that Song Xiaocao might rely on someone else, so two people came together.

Song Xiaocao’s pale face turned even paler with anger at being despised like this.

“Xiao Cao, why are you here? What happened to your body?” asked Widow Zhou.

“Mom, go boil some water for my cousin and find her some clean clothes to change into.” Zhou Sicheng said in a deep voice.

“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Widow Zhou responded hurriedly. She had a good relationship with her brothers from her natal family. Song Xiaocao had been able to speak and deal with things since she was a child. Although Widow Zhou could not say that she loved her, her relationship with her was acceptable. And with Zhou Sicheng talking to her, she quickly went to boil water.

“Is it done?” Zhou Sicheng asked.

Song Xiaocao shook her head. “I desperately shouted for help in the water, but Zhou Yubai ignored me. Later, I almost drowned, so I swam out by myself.”

“Useless.” Zhou Sicheng cursed in a low voice, “You swam up by yourself. Even a fool would know that you were plotting against Zhou Yubai.”

“What can I do? If I don’t go up, I will drown!” Song Xiaocao said dissatisfiedly.

“Didn’t you bite Zhou Yubai after you got ashore? Didn’t I teach you?” Zhou Sicheng looked disappointed.

“I was about to say something, but Shen Qingli was here too, and before I could say anything, everyone said that Zhou Yubai must be blind to fall for me.” Song Xiaocao stomped her feet in anger.

She really lost all her dignity and face today.

“Shen Qingli went to the riverbank?” Zhou Sicheng frowned. Shen Qingli’s small body actually went to the riverbank? Could she walk over there?

“Yes, she went to bring ginger soup to Zhou Yubai. Cousin, they seem to have a good relationship, and Shen Qingli is so beautiful. I really can’t seduce Zhou Yubai.” Song Xiaocao said in a muffled voice.

She also wanted to find a good husband for herself. Her parents wanted to sell her to an old bachelor in the mountains. Zhou Sicheng found her and said that if she could seduce Zhou Yubai and marry him, she would be able to eat and drink delicious food every day.

Although Zhou Yubai had a scar on his face, she had seen Zhou Yubai without any injury.

Zhou Yubai is good-looking. Even though he has a scar, you won’t see that half of his face. At least he is better than the old bachelor in the mountains.

What’s more, Zhou Yubai has money.

Zhou Sicheng told Song Xiaocao that Zhou Yubai’s family often eats meat. When Song Xiaocao saw Shen Qingli today, she also felt that Zhou Yubai must be very rich, otherwise, he would not be able to raise Shen Qingli so well.

There wasn’t a single patch on Shen Qingli’s clothes, and there wasn’t even a trace of work on her hands.

Being supported like Shen Qingli is a life that many people envy.

Song Xiaocao gritted her teeth.

“Cousin, don’t underestimate yourself. There is no man who doesn’t cheat. Even if you are not as pretty as Shen Qingli, you are still a woman. As long as you are willing to risk it, you will definitely be able to win Zhou Yubai.”

“Shen Qingli is in poor health. If she knew that you and Zhou Yubai were having an affair, she might be so angry that she would die. Then everything Zhou Yubai has would be yours.”

Zhou Sicheng patiently and persuadingly.

Song Xiaocao was very excited.

“Is it really possible?”

“Okay, you can stay at my house for the time being, and we’ll find the right time and think of a solution.” Zhou Sicheng’s eyes were full of calculations.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, cousin.”

“Xiaocao, the water is ready.” The voice of Widow Zhou came.

Song Xiaocao responded and went to take a shower.

Zhou Sicheng sat alone on a chair and whispered, “Zhou Yubai, I will definitely get that thing! I will definitely be unstoppable in this life!”

Shen Qingli withdrew her mental power.

Zhou Sicheng talked about this life?

Is he reborn?

Song Xiaocao is a chess piece in Zhou Sicheng’s hand. Not a killer, but annoying enough.

“Mom.” Gou Wa’s voice rang out.

Shen Qingli came back to her senses and walked quickly home.

“Mom, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?” Gou Wa asked anxiously. He estimated the time and thought Shen Qingli would be back soon, so he opened the door to take a look. He saw Shen Qingli standing there in a daze.

“It’s okay, just a little tired.” Shen Qingli replied.

Gou Wa hurriedly took the thermos from Shen Qingli’s hand, and Niu Niu ran over to take the clothes from Shen Qingli’s hand.

“Mom, if you are tired, go and have a rest. I will make dinner and wash the clothes later.” Gou Wa said hurriedly, “Niuniu, go and get Mom a glass of water.”

“Okay. Mom, please sit down first.” Niu Niu pulled Shen Qingli into the house and asked her to sit down.

The two kids were busy for a while.

Shen Qingli drank some water, and Niu Niu brought all the snacks over and gave them to Shen Qingli.

Shen Qingli had just controlled the water-based supernatural power and had been releasing her mental energy for too long, so she was indeed a little tired. After saying a few words to them, she lay down to rest.

I fell asleep without realizing it.

Gou Wa and Niu Niu’s eyes were full of worry. They both knew that Shen Qingli was in poor health. What if their mother was sick?

The two little ones would secretly glance at Shen Qingli from time to time, and only felt relieved when they made sure that she was sleeping.

When Zhou Yubai returned home, it was already dark.

Gou Wa made dinner. Although it was not as delicious as Shen Qingli’s, it was still delicious.

“Where is your mother?” Zhou Yubai asked hurriedly when he entered the room and did not see Shen Qingli waiting for him. He thought Shen Qingli was still angry.

“Mom fell asleep as soon as she came back. Dad, Mom doesn’t look very good.” Gou Wa looked worried.

Zhou Yubai walked in quickly, just as Shen Qingli woke up…
