Chapter 409 Reverse Revenge
Chapter 409 Reverse Revenge
The three of them finished their meal with difficulty, but Wu Chaoyang didn't eat a single bite. He stared at Ji Yuntang with a resentful look on his face.
Ji Yuntang knew that this little bad boy was probably thinking of some bad ideas to mess with her again!
Her eyes sparkled, and she smiled and said, "Adoptive father and mother, you have come at the right time. It just so happens that the Night Palace is still short of a few workers. Since you will all live here in the future, then this princess will tell you about the work that each of you will do!"
"There is nothing else in the Night King's Palace, but there is a lot of firewood. Foster father is responsible for chopping wood and feeding the horses. Every day, pile up the chopped firewood and stack it against the wall, and add hay and water to the horses. I will go to check on the results of your labor at night."
"My foster mother is a woman, she is more considerate. You can help me take care of my husband's daily life. Sometimes I am too busy to take care of him, so I have to ask my foster mother to help take care of him!"
"There are still many wastelands in the Night Palace that have not been reclaimed. Big brother is a man and has great strength. You will be responsible for reclaiming those wastelands, planting fruits and vegetables, and watering and fertilizing them on time."
"When these vegetables are ripe, they will be the food for everyone in our Night Palace. Whether we can have food depends on whether Big Brother can plant the land well!"
After Ji Yuntang finished speaking, he turned to look at Wu Chaoyang and gave him a harmless smile.
"As for my third brother, I can't let you suffer because you are so young. I just happened to be researching acupuncture and some medicines recently, so you can help me test the medicines!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Huaxiu exploded. She pointed at Ji Yuntang's nose and started cursing.
"You damn girl, you have such a cruel heart. It's fine if you let us do hard labor for you, but Yang Ge'er is still so young, and you actually let him test the medicine on you. If you find out that he has any disease, how are you going to let our whole family live?"
"You have lived with us for sixteen years, but I have never heard that you know any medical skills. You don't think you can show off just because you cured your own face, do you? You are really showing off!"
Ji Yuntang picked his ears and didn't want to pay any attention to Chen Huaxiu.
After she finished yelling and cursing, it felt like a punch on cotton, without any pain.
At this time, Wu Chaoyang expressed his opinion!
He rolled his eyes and suddenly tugged at Chen Huaxiu's clothes.
"Mom, please don't scold Sister Yuntang. It's not easy for her to take care of such a big house here. We should help her share the work so that Sister Yuntang can have an easier time."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Ji Yuntang again, his face was full of obedience and innocence, and when he smiled, two little canine teeth were revealed at the corners of his mouth, looking very cute.
"Sister Yuntang, I am willing to help you test the medicine. I will do whatever you ask me to do and will never cause you any trouble."
If I don't help her try the medicine, how will I torture her later?
It’s not certain who will let whom try the medicine by then!
As soon as Ji Yuntang saw Wu Chaoyang's expression, he knew that this bad boy was up to something.
What a coincidence! She was afraid that he would not agree!
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly and reached out to touch Wu Chaoyang's head.
"My third brother is still as well-behaved and sensible as before, and knows how to help his sister share the hard work."
"Don't worry, as long as you help me test the medicine, I will never treat you unfairly."
Each family member had their own thoughts. After Ji Yuntang made all the arrangements, he took them to their work places.
Wu Jinxi was taken to the stable in the backyard. Next to the stable was a built shed filled with firewood.
When he looked up, he found that it was much taller than a person. Ji Yuntang had specially asked Chen Hu to pile it up.
She said to Wu Jinxi: "Foster father, these firewoods are your workload for today. Once you chop them all, you can have dinner!"
Wu Jinxi was almost scared to death when he saw so much firewood.
His eyes were grim and he angrily threw the axe to the ground, his deep voice revealing deep displeasure.
"Ji Yuntang, you clearly know that my waist and legs are not in good condition, but you still asked me to chop so much wood. Are you trying to force me to death?"
Ji Yuntang looked at him with clear fox eyes, his expression slightly innocent, "How could my foster father say that to me?"
"When I lived in a small mountain village, you used to force me to go up the mountain to collect firewood and chop wood every day with a whip, saying that it was to exercise my body."
"The reason why I am in such good health now is because you, my foster father, have been exercising well. You have been climbing the mountain rain or shine for ten years. Now my legs and feet are very nimble."
"As for you, foster father, the reason why you have back and leg pain every other day is because you lay in bed and didn't exercise when you were young. Over time, you became lazy."
"I asked you to chop wood, but it's not just to chop wood. I want to help you, my foster father, cure your illness."
Seeing Wu Jinxi's gloomy face, Ji Yuntang smiled.
"Foster father, think about it. You came all the way to Beijing to find me. You must want to live a good life here."
"You can't have your health break down before you even enjoy wealth and glory, right? How can I be filial to you in this way?"
Wu Jin's neck turned red with joy, and his voice became a little higher.
"Then you can't let me chop so much wood in one day. How long will it take me to finish chopping so much wood?"
"I'm already so old, and it wasn't easy to raise you. Can't you understand how difficult it is for me as a father?"
Ji Yuntang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Consideration, why wouldn't I be considerate?"
"It is precisely because I sympathize with you that I have helped your family boil water and wash clothes since I was five years old. When I was six, I picked up five bundles of firewood from the mountains every day and carried them home, chopping them neatly and stacking them in the kitchen. When I was seven, I made fire and cooked three meals a day for the whole family. Sometimes I would get up in the middle of the night when you were hungry. When I was eight, I went to the fields to plant rice and weed for you, and take care of the vegetable garden. When I was nine, I made my own slingshot and went up the mountain to hunt, just so that the family could have some meat. When I was ten, I went to the market alone to sell vegetables to earn money to support the family."
"After I turned ten, I basically took care of all the chores at home. I even helped raise my third brother when he was a child. If doing so much for me is not considered as being considerate of you, then what is?"
Wu Jinxi said confidently: "That's what you should do. You eat and use the things at home, so what's wrong with helping with some housework?"
Ji Yuntang pursed his lips and said, "Yes, so now that you eat my food and use my things, you should also help me with my work, right?"
"I have to thank you guys because you made me realize that human potential is always unlimited. Sometimes if you don't push yourself, you won't know how great you are."
"I was able to do so many things at such a young age. My adoptive father was in his early 40s, and it was the time for him to make a living. Why couldn't I give it a try?"
"Not to mention, chopping wood is not a brain-intensive job. You just need to sit there and chop it. You don't even need to move."
Wu Jinxi: "..."
Wu Jinxi: "!!!"
