Chapter 255 The Collective Changes of the Women in the Family
The team leader thought for a moment before nodding. Yes, in the end, it was all his daughter's doing.
"Uncle, I understand. I'll manage them properly."
The village chief thought of Gong Suoer's defiant face and felt disgusted. She was far inferior to his own little granddaughter.
"Marry Gong Suoer off quickly. Don't cause any more embarrassing incidents in the village."
The team leader had only one daughter and couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to disobey his uncle at this moment.
"I understand."
Ye Shenggē returned home with the women's troop, tail wagging like a little fox.
Zī Yìchéng and Yè Mùēn knew the little girl's temperament very well. This was clearly a victory, and her pride in having participated was evident.
Only Bai Chǔfán was a bit depressed. He hadn't lacked admirers before; many women had tried to get close to him due to his status, but he had always rejected them with a stern face.
However, after coming to the countryside, he realized the terrifying nature of the women here and the rumors that could instantly send someone to hell. It was a humiliation for him, a grown man, to have the women in his family solve trouble. Even more so, to have the ladies of his family get their hands dirty fighting, how desperate had they been pushed to abandon their refinement?
Bai Chǔmò felt a pang of sympathy for his elder brother's dejection. He had stumbled into trouble for no reason. He knew his elder brother must feel very guilty, especially having made their precious sister cry.
"Brother, dealing with these people requires some violence. If they don't learn their lesson the first time, hit them a second time. We must make them fear us."
Bai Chǔfán looked at his most violent brother, and for a moment, he felt he hadn't lived as freely as him. Ever since arriving at Bai Rong Brigade, he had felt stifled. For the sake of stability, all his knowledge was useless, and he was entangled by a woman he had never even seen.
"Yes, I really need to change how I live."
After this incident, he truly realized he could no longer maintain his status and aloofness. He needed to integrate and use the local methods to deal with trouble, rather than letting the women in his family step forward when something happened, forcing them to fight with others.
"Come to my room tonight to discuss it."
Bai Chǔmò immediately grinned. His elder brother was too bound by his identity as the eldest grandson of the Bai family, always considering whether his actions would tarnish the Bai family's reputation. But where were they now? In the countryside. What right did they have to care about such a thing? They were country people now.
Bai Dà Jiùmā returned home and gulped down two glasses of water, finally feeling the soreness all over her body. Her first fight in this life had not been easy, and she hadn't found any rhythm.
"Are you all injured? Why am I so sore all over?"
"Don't talk about yourself, I think my waist has been twisted."
Bai Èr Jiùmā rubbed her side, also feeling uncomfortable. Only Yè Mā was alright. After all, she had learned some martial arts in her previous life, though she hadn't practiced for many years.
"You all need to learn from me more in the future. I didn't leave any visible marks when I hit people today, and I made them hurt so much they couldn't stand it."
Bai Wàipó couldn't stand looking at her daughter's smug expression. How old was she, still getting into fights? They were all so accomplished.
Ye Shenggē hadn't expected her mother to use the same move as her. Chen Fēn would be feeling unwell for the next few days. She quickly hugged her mother like a little puppy, seeking praise.
"Mom, I took the opportunity to twist Chen Fēn's sore spots many times today. Am I amazing?"
Bai Wàipó couldn't hold back any longer and slapped her daughter on the back.
"Look at how capable you are, turning my Nannu into what she is.
Nannu, you shouldn't learn from your mother and aunts, okay? We need to be little ladies, then people will like us."
After speaking, Bai Wàipó couldn't help but glance at Zī Yìchéng, clearly worried that her granddaughter would be disliked.
Zī Yìchéng shook his head with a smile. He thought his little girl was too well-behaved and wished she would live more freely. If she didn't even have the ability to live freely, then all his previous efforts would have been in vain.
"Grandma, Shenggē is very good like this. Haven't you noticed she's become much more cheerful since coming here? Let's let her live a carefree and happy life. Can't our whole family protect her?"
"Exactly, Grandma. Our family's little princess should live however she wants. If anyone is not convinced, we'll beat them into submission."
Bai Chǔmò proudly lifted his chin. In his opinion, there was no one who couldn't be subdued by force.
Bai Wàipó looked at her grandson, who acted like a little tyrant, with great disapproval. She preferred to look at her Nannu.
Everyone in the family smiled happily at the playful banter between the elders and the young ones, none of them dwelling on what had just happened.
Ye Shenggē also began to accompany Elder Dǎng and Elder Fàn to work and collect herbs. Zī Yìchéng would disappear for a while every day, and even her elder brother couldn't find him. She could only continue learning with Little Tiántián, her little shadow, every day.
Only once a month did her elder brother take Ye Shenggē out at night. This was also to take out some of the supplies from the space.
"Monkey sent word that they will be coming to Ānmíng County in about half a month. Prepare some supplies from the space that you don't usually eat."
Ye Shenggē tugged at her brother's clothes, her little bottom sore from being bumped on the back seat. Riding a bicycle on such a road was truly suffering.
"Okay. There are still the most fruits in the space, and we haven't consumed much since coming to Bai Rong Brigade. I've even reduced fruit cultivation. Now, besides grain, I'm mainly planting medicinal herbs."
"Planting medicinal herbs still has a good market. Fewer people are planting them now, and they fetch high prices in the black market."
Ye Shenggē's eyes sparkled in the dark. In her previous life, she had planted many precious medicinal herbs, like ginseng and ganoderma, without ever harvesting them. They had grown for many years now.
"Precious medicinal herbs are always valuable, but they take a long time to grow. I'll be heartbroken if they don't sell for a good price."
Yè Mùēn couldn't help but laugh at his sister's undeniable greedy tone. His sister had never cared about money in her previous life. It was a shame for his sister to come here.
"Don't worry, anything that comes from your hands will be sold at a high price. You'll become a billionaire somehow."
Ye Shenggē didn't care much about how much money she had. She just liked the feeling of earning money herself, especially since she had never earned even a dime in her previous life and had always been the most senior freeloader.
"A billion is too much. Money is hard to earn these days, and everything is tens of times cheaper than in my previous life."
Yè Mùēn was confident he could achieve this goal but wouldn't argue with his sister. They would let the facts speak for themselves later.
Yè Mùēn also bought a house in the county town, quite secluded, with few neighbors. The main reason was that there was a large cellar there, which was very convenient for storing supplies.
Just as Yè Mùēn was about to turn into the alley, he saw a familiar figure. He narrowed his eyes and continued to ride forward without stopping, showing no intention of stopping.
Ye Shenggē also noticed her brother riding past and thought he hadn't noticed because he was too busy talking to her.
"Brother, you..."
