Chapter 116 She thought things weren't exciting enough.
Anjia Village, Ma Family —
Huangfu Qian is currently at Xia's house and has been there all morning. No one knows what they are talking about, and the news that he hasn't left yet has reached Wei Zhishu's ears through other people in the village.
As Wei Zhishu thought of Xia Mo's appearance, he covered his chest, which was throbbing with pain, with his hands again. He was so nervous that his limbs were trembling and he felt cold.
He guessed that, given how beautiful Xia Mo was, Huangfu Qianding wouldn't be able to resist either, would he? He too would be tempted, just like him...
The thought that Xia Mo would end up with Huangfu Qian made Wei Zhishu's heart ache even more.
"Are you feeling very unwell? Should we go and call a doctor?" Ma Yiyi asked gently and considerately.
Wei Zhishu glanced at Ma Yiyi out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with resentment he himself was unaware of.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to marry Ma Yiyi, he could have openly proposed to the Xia family. Perhaps Xia Mo would be his betrothed by now!
Wei Zhishu blamed all his resentment on Ma Yiyi, without feeling that he himself was at fault.
Ma Yiyi was stunned by that resentful look, and stood there dumbfounded, as if she had been petrified.
She was panicked. She didn't understand why Wei Zhishu was looking at her like that!
Because of Wei Zhishu's low spirits, the entire Ma family fell into an inexplicable state of tension and awkwardness.
Ma Da's wife comforted the agitated Ma Da, whispering, "Things will be fine once Little Sister and Master Wei leave."
Ma Da's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he glanced at his wife.
Ma's wife stiffened.

In contrast to the stiff atmosphere in the Ma family, the Xia family was surrounded by a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian returned from Anning Prefecture!
Despite suppressing her emotions, Xia's mother couldn't help but rush towards Xia Mo, grabbing Xia Mo's hand and carefully examining Xia Mo's condition from head to toe.
Xia Mo said, "Mother, I'm going to wash up first and wash off the tanning cream."
"Alright, go quickly," Xia's mother urged, but couldn't help but steal a glance at Huangfu Qian.
After all, it had been a morning alone for a man and a woman. Xia's father and the others tried their best to show trust, but they couldn't help but worry.
Xia Sange asked Jiang Feng directly, "Go and ask our master if he and my sister did anything improper this morning?"
Jiang Feng rolled his eyes and said with a serious face, "Since you've pledged yourself to your master, you should learn to trust him. Is your master that kind of person?! On the contrary, your little sister... I feel like your little sister..."
Jiang Feng realized that saying anything more would be offensive, so he chose to keep quiet.
"What's wrong with my little sister? What do you mean by 'it's my little sister?! You have to explain this to me clearly!'" When Xia Sange encountered Xia Mo's situation, he was no longer afraid of Jiang Feng, who was many times more powerful than him. He insisted on getting to the bottom of things and asking for an explanation.
Jiang Feng glanced at Huangfu Qian furtively and whispered, "I'll tell you in private later."
Xia Sange stared at Jiang Feng for a while, then nodded in a simple and honest manner.
Jiang Feng: "..."
Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian came out after removing the tanning cream from their bodies.
Xia Mo changed into her own clothes, while Huangfu Qian wore Xia's father's clothes, still exuding an extraordinary air.
"Father, Mother, this is the money we earned on our trip to Anning Prefecture," Xia Mo said, placing the first sum of money she had received on the table.
“Twenty catties are a gift, and thirty catties are for sale. They are sold in plates weighing four ounces each, and each plate weighs one ounce. We made a profit of seventy-five ounces from these thirty catties,” Xia Mo winked playfully at her mother.
Xia's mother's eyes widened suddenly, and her heart pounded wildly.
In the past, if we could save two taels of silver a year, the whole family would be as happy as if it were New Year's Day. Now... a single business deal can be worth seventy-five taels!
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god...
Xia's mother reached out and grabbed Xia's father's arm, gripping it so tightly it seemed she wanted to break his bones. She was so excited and happy.
"If we can have this kind of harvest every day in the future, how many taels would we get in a year?" Xia's mother looked at Xia's father expectantly, waiting for him to give her a number.
Looking at his delighted wife, Xia's father smiled and said, "I'm not good at math, so I can't calculate how much it would be in a year, but if we could have this kind of harvest every ten days, it would be as much as seven hundred and fifty taels."
Xia's mother clung to Xia's father's arm, feeling like she was about to faint—she was fainting from happiness from being showered with money.
"Father, Mother, you've forgotten, the restaurant takes 30% of the profits," Xia Mo reminded her with a smile.
After a moment of silence, Xia's father and the others began to calculate again.
The whole family was immersed in the little things that brought them happiness.
Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian and said, "Are you really going to go out dressed like this?"
Huangfu Qian countered, "Why not?"
"No," Xia Mo smiled gently.
Huangfu Qian leaving Anjia Village wearing Xia's father's clothes will surely make the villagers' minds wander and think all sorts of nonsense, right?
"Miss Xia, may I ask... about that... special skill? Can I learn it?" Seeing that Xia Mo was standing quietly to the side without any problems, Jiang Feng finally found a moment to interject.
Xia Mo scanned Jiang Feng's entire body with his divine sense and shook his head: "Learning extraordinary arts requires good physical constitution. Your physical constitution is suitable for martial arts."
Jiang Feng understood; he couldn't do it, and he immediately felt somewhat frustrated.
“My family has a set of secret techniques passed down through generations, specifically for cultivating physical strength. You can ask my third brother. If he is willing to teach you, you can learn from him and your abilities will improve,” Xia Mo said.
To deal with the live-streaming system that invaded from another world, she alone is not enough; we still need Huangfu Qian, who has the manpower and resources, to take charge.
Although Jiang Feng felt it was a pity, he didn't insist on learning it and turned to find Xia Sange.
Xia Sange and Jiang Feng's relationship progressed rapidly, and the two became close friends, whispering to each other in secret.
"What?!" Xia Sange exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Jiang Feng's words.
Jiang Feng nervously put his arm around Xia Sange's shoulder and looked around, whispering, "Keep your voice down, keep your voice down... what if someone hears us?!"
Xia Sange looked Jiang Feng up and down, and deliberately said, "Are you really loyal to your master? How come you can make up stories about him so easily?"
"Nonsense! I never made any false accusations against my master!" Jiang Feng shook his head vehemently in denial.
Xia's father and the others were all drawn to the interaction between Jiang Feng and Xia's third brother, and they looked over.
What are you two discussing?
After spending lunch together, the Xia family members felt closer to Huangfu Qian, and their fear and nervousness towards Jiang Feng disappeared.
"It's nothing," Jiang Feng hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands, while signaling to Xia Sange not to say anything.
Xia Mo looked at Huangfu Qian and flirted with him in front of everyone.
She deliberately transmitted her voice, saying, "Are you my plaything?"
Huangfu Qian's expression didn't change at all, as if he hadn't been teased by Xia Mo at all. In reality, his heart tightened, and he realized something.
Xia Sange and Jiang Feng were whispering to each other, thinking no one else could hear them, but in fact, Xia Mo heard them.
She felt the situation wasn't exciting enough, so she used her divine sense to share her hearing, allowing Huangfu Qian to hear Jiang Feng and Xia Sange's whispered conversation.
