nXiao Lingyu sighed softly. After her reborn, her luck seemed to become better.

nFirst, the random man she grabbed off the street was the famous Young Master Yan. He helped her exact the perfect revenge on the pair of scumbags. Xiao Lingyu didn’t feel sorry for them. If they didn’t have a vicious heart and tried to frame her, they wouldn’t end up like this. This was karma.

nThen, the jade pendant she found when she was young contained a magical space. The space had magical uses, but she didn’t know what those uses were until she explored the dimension further.

nXiao Lingyu wanted a way to resolve the potential trouble from the Chen Family. God was smiling at her. She didn’t even need to do anything. The Chen and Lan Families imploded once they heard the exorbitant medical fees Chen Ran needed. To the greedy people of the Chen and Lan Family, they wouldn’t waste any more effort on Chen Ran, who was not worth anything anymore.

nIn fact, the two families had cut themselves off from Chen Ran’s family for fear of implication. How heartless could these people be?

nXiao Lingyu shook her head with a smile. Perhaps God pitied her after what she had experienced in her previous life, so he was kind to her in this one.

n‘Now that the Chen Family business has been temporarily settled, it’s time to study this space properly!’ Xiao Lingyu told herself. ‘Since I’m already back home. Then, I’ll have to work hard to be a good farmer!’ She lowered her head and gently stroked her stomach as she continued to mutter to herself, ‘I have to do my best to make up for everything I owe Xiao Tong.’

n“Yu ‘Er, it’s time to eat!” Mother Xiao shouted. She sounded in a good mood.

n“Okay, coming!” Xiao Lingyu replied.

nXiao Lingyu smiled when she saw the array of good dishes on the dining table. “Mom, what’s the occasion? You’ve made so many dishes. There’s braised pork, braised pork trotters with soybeans, braised tofu, fried beef, stir-fried vegetable heart, and even a chicken soup. Mom, are we suddenly rich?”

nMother Xiao chuckled. “Darn girl, do you think we’re so poor that we can’t afford these dishes? I am simply in a good mood.”

nXiao Lingyu smiled obsequiously and said, “Of course, mother. But, Mom, why are you in such a good mood?”

nMother Xiao answered, “Why else? Your little brother is coming back from school today. He eats at school five days a week. How much nutrition can he get from cafeteria food? Therefore, I have to feed him well when he is home!”

nXiao Lingye happened to walk in and heard everything.

nHe immediately said, “Mom, I’ve been coming back every week, but I won’t be welcomed with a feast every week.” He walked to the table and gasped with exaggeration. “Look at this overflowing table. Mom, I refuse to believe it’s just for me. Mom, just tell us. What happened?”

nThen, he clapped and said, “Mom! Are you and dad going to give me a younger brother or sister?”

nMother Xiao’s face turned red, and she smacked Xiao Lingye. “You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Your dad and I are way past that age already. You should be thankful that you got to eat. Why so many questions?”

nXiao Lingye curled his lips and said, “Mom, can you really blame me? Normally, when I come home, I’ll have an extra egg or chicken thigh. But this is on a whole new level. I can’t help but be suspicious.”

nMother Xiao rolled her eyes and took out a bottle of white wine from the cupboard.

nXiao Lingye opened his eyes wide in surprise and said loudly, “Mom, are you sure there is no younger sibling for me? You’re taking out the wine! You never let dad drink unless it’s New Year or we have something huge to celebrate!”

nMother Xiao’s face reddened again. Even Father Xiao, who sat at the table, turned red as a tomato. He said in a low voice, “Xiao Lingye, you rascal, how can you tease your parents like that? You have no sense of propriety! See how red you’ve made your mother’s face!” However, Father Xiao was smiling.

nMother Xiao was embarrassed that Father Xiao would tease her like that. She turned mock-angry and ordered, “You two will go outside and stand for an hour. Yu ‘Er, watch them, so they don’t slack off!”

nThe father and son blamed each other as they headed out for the punishment. Xiao Lingyu felt bad for her father and brother. She said, “But mom, the food will be cold in an hour.”

nMother Xiao took a bowl of rice. “So what? They can eat cold food.”

nXiao Lingyu said, “But…”

nMother Xiao stopped her, “Xiao Lingyu, you can go join them if you want.”

nXiao Lingyu immediately shut up, picked up the bowl, and obediently filled the bowl with rice.

nMother Xiao suddenly asked, “Yu ‘Er, was the Chen family kid seriously stabbed?”

nThe news of the two families refusing to lend money to Chen Ran’s family was known around the two villages and the town.

nXiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “I’m not sure. I was too busy defending myself. After Zhao Wenman stabbed Chen Ran, she tried to stab me…” Xiao Lingyu immediately caught herself. She hadn’t told her family that.

n“What?!” Mother Xiao immediately put down the chopsticks. She examined Xiao Lingyu and shouted, “Yu ‘Er’s father, come in now!”

nFather Xiao ran in worriedly. “What’s wrong?”

nMother Xiao was in shock. “Just now, Yu ‘Er said that the woman who stabbed the Chen Kid almost stabbed her!”

nXiao Lingyu’s father and brother were anxious. They checked Xiao Lingyu. They asked anxiously, “Yu ‘Er, are you hurt?”

nXiao Lingyu quickly explained to her concerned family, “I’m fine. Don’t worry. I’ll explain!”

nSince Xiao Lingyu really looked fine, her family finally sighed in relief.

nMother Xiao demanded, “Girl, hurry up and tell us everything. If you try to hide anything, I’ll never forgive you. You almost gave me a heart attack just now!”

nXiao Lingyu said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Mom and Dad, for making you worry. This time, I’ll tell you everything. There won’t be any more secrets.”

nXiao Lingyu didn’t want her family to live in a state of a constant worry. In that case, she figured it was better to tell her parents everything. Perhaps they could accept it.
