Zhao Zhan’s feet were planted firmly on the ground, not moving an inch.

He had a cave in the mountain to stay in. It could be said that he had been living in the cave for most of the month. Other than the fact that he was the only one who had enough to eat, the main reason was that he didn’t want to deal with the duo.

Every time they came to visit, they would take something away under the pretense of concern.

He wasn’t dense. When it happened once or twice, he believed it. However, after it happened so many times, he realized that something was wrong.

However, because they had raised him, Zhao Zhan could not cut ties with them.

“Zhao Zhan!” The husband was submissive to his wife, but he shouted at his nephew when the wife elbowed him, “Can you hear me? Are you still not going to let us in? You jinxed your parents to death when you were nine years old. We raised you after that. You can’t be an ungrateful person and forget about this, right?”

Zhao Kuazi’s upturned eyes darted around, and she chimed in, “Exactly. Although you moved out by yourself when you were sixteen, that was because your brother was about to get married, and the house couldn’t accommodate you anymore. Kuazi raised you for seven or eight years. Even if you moved out, Kuazi would still take care of you, you should know, right? Now that you’ve become rich, you don’t want to acknowledge family? We haven’t split up yet. Your household registration is still in Juan Zi’s house!”

At the mention of household registration, the man’s slender eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then he said earnestly, “Zhan, you’re twenty years old this year. It’s too old. It’s normal to want to marry a wife. But if your wife is hiding in the house, you have to go to the head officer and register your household register. You should open the door and follow me home. I’ll give you your household register. You can’t let her follow you without a title, right?”

Zhao Zhan didn’t seem to hear him.

What a joke, how could someone like her want to marry someone like him?

“Quickly open the door! We still have things to do!”

Zhao Kuazi saw that Zhao Zhan was acting like a deaf and mute as usual. Her patience had run out, and she pushed the door open with all her might. She shouted at the top of her voice, “The little vixen that Zhao Zhan hid in the house, why don’t you come out to welcome your elders when they come? Are you also deaf and mute?”

“I can’t believe it’s come to this…”

Zhao Kuazi gulped as she looked at Zhao Zhan, who was standing in front of her with a terrifying black face. For the first time, fear seeped into her soul and she subconsciously swallowed the vulgarities that came after. “You, what do you want to do? I’m your aunt!”

Zhao Zhan’s face was frighteningly dark.

His hands were stained with the blood of countless preys, and the small animals that usually showed off their imposing manner on the mountain had all fled quickly.

The aunt was caught by his shadow. She tugged on her husband’s sleeve and said dryly, “That… We just want to see our niece-in-law. Quickly say something!”

The husband’s legs were now a little weak.

Why was this nephew of his who was usually so quiet and easily bullied being this scary? His eyes looked like he wanted to eat them up.

During the confrontation at the door, Yue Jiaojiao’s figure appeared at the door with a walking stick. She called out softly, “Zhao Zhan…”

Like how snow melts, the cold aura around Zhao Zhan’s body instantly disappeared. He quickly walked to Yue Jiaojiao’s side and asked in a low voice, “Why did you come out? Isn’t it too noisy outside? I was too slow in chasing them away!”

Yue Jiaojiao shook her head and glanced at the two people standing at the door. “I heard everything when I was in the room. They were the ones who were shameless. Are they here to see me?”

Originally, she had thought that this was about Zhao Zhan’s family matter and that it was not appropriate to interfere, but after listening to the exchange in the room, she felt that something was wrong.

They were the legendary relatives that had been mentioned in those types of novels!

If she didn’t come out to help, with Zhao Zhan’s personality, wouldn’t he be bullied to death?

Yue Jiaojiao was wearing the new clothes that Zhao Zhan had bought today. She had even tidied up her hair in the house. The moment she appeared, the two people standing at the door exchanged glances and muttered a good words in their hearts.

This face, this body… Did he find a demon on the mountain? Could it be that Zhao Zhan had been hunting too much, and the mountain god had sent a demon to harm him? The two of them were thinking too much.

Yue Jiaojiao had already walked to the door with Zhao Zhan’s help while supporting herself with her walking stick. “Zhao Zhan, why didn’t you open the door when your uncle and aunt are here? If someone sees us, they’ll say that we’re rude.”

“Yes, yes, yes. Zhan, you’re so rude. Hurry up and open the door for us.”

Zhao Zhan lowered his head and opened the lock. Zhao Kuazi pushed her aside and went in front of Yue Jiaojiao, reaching out to hold her hand.

Yue Jiaojiao took a step back, her face full of disdain.

“Which village are you from? Why did you come to our Willow Village?”

“Are you the wife that Zhao Zhan bought?”

Zhao Kuazi crossed her arms and clicked her tongue as she looked at Yue Jiaojiao’s fair and tender face. Her heart was filled with jealousy.

“Let me tell you, for us farmers, looks are not important. What’s important is whether we can give birth and whether we can work.”

“Look at me. I gave birth to three sons in a row. Everyone in this village is envious of me,” said Kuazi. “I see that although you are good-looking, you are a cripple. I don’t think you can clean up the house, right? Since you’re here, I’ll help you tidy up.”

Zhao Kuazi clicked her waist and walked around Yue Jiaojiao, heading into the house. Yue Jiaojiao extended her walking stick without a sound.

“Ouch!”

Zhao Kuazi tripped and fell flat on her face. Yue Jiaojiao was surprised. “What’s wrong? How can you trip over for someone with two good legs? It’s a pity that my legs are crippled. Otherwise, I could have helped you up.”

Yue Jiaojiao covered her mouth and chuckled. She gave Zhao Zhan a reproachful look. “Zhao Zhan, why didn’t you help me with the hairpin? Oh, I forgot. You said that you would only use your hands to support me. ”

“I’m sorry. She dotes on me too much…”

Zhao Kuazi’s face was almost buried in the ground. She rolled her eyes in anger at Yue Jiaojiao’s every sentence. She did not even get up. Instead, she lay on the ground with her eyes closed and roared, “You’re a dead man! Can’t you see that I fell down?”

It was only then that Juan Ji was willing to shift his eyes away from Yue Jiaojiao’s face for the time being to help his wife up. He walked over, turned his head, and chided Zhao Zhan, “You’re just going to let this little hussy bully your aunt? Can’t you see what’s happening here?”

Yue Jiaojiao fake panicked and hid behind Zhao Zhan. She couldn’t stop her fake shudders as she spoke in a sweet voice, “He’s so fierce. I’m so scared!”

How could Zhao Zhan, who had been paying attention to her, miss the smile in Yue Jiaojiao’s eyes? He followed her movements and stood in front of her, blocking her from the others.

“I don’t have money. You don’t have to go in and search for it. You won’t find a single silver in there. But uncle and aunt, thank you for reminding me just now that I haven’t moved out.” Zhao Zhan touched the blood on his waist and stretched it to the other party. “I’m seriously injured. The doctor said that it will cost a lot of money to cure me. Can you lend me some aid?”
