CHAPTER 734: CHAPTER 731: DUODUO’S PROBLEM

Zhou Zhiyong did indeed get into a fight, and indeed got a cut on his head, but it wasn’t serious.

Xu Liangyou and his wife were not aware of this until they were notified by the school.

But Tang Tang knew beforehand, which made Shen Siyuan very curious about her ability. Was it really the wind that told her?

Perhaps this is what the "Tao Te Ching" describes: Without leaving home, know the world; without peering through the window, see the Heavenly Dao.

"Alright, your Brother Xiao Yong is fine. If you miss him, you can have your mom take you to see him tomorrow," said Shen Siyuan.

"Han~"

Tang Tang grinned foolishly with a happy expression. Shen Siyuan then explained the situation to Mao Sanmei, asking her to take Tang Tang to the Rainbow House tomorrow.

"Is Xiao Yong okay?" Mao Sanmei used hand gestures to ask after learning what had happened.

"It’s nothing serious, just some scuffle between kids."

It really wasn’t a big deal. Zhou Zhiyong got into a dispute with someone at school, got pushed, hit the corner of a table, and cut his head.

That’s how it happened. Zhou Zhiyong wasn’t bullied, mainly because there were so many older brothers and sisters from the same school. They stuck together, so most students wouldn’t dare mess with them.

Even some parents warned their kids not to provoke them. It wasn’t out of sympathy, but because these children were orphans with nothing to lose, prone to extreme thoughts, and at an age where they were reckless, each like a ticking time bomb, really not to be provoked.

Though these were malicious speculations from the parents, it didn’t stop others from thinking that way. This was also something Xu Liangyou and his wife found quite frustrating. Fortunately, because there were many of them, there was no isolating or ostracizing situation.

Speaking of which, they were very grateful to Shen Siyuan for adopting Tang Tang. Otherwise, Tang Tang would have been pitiful in the future, being deaf and mute, not even able to complain, only to be bullied.

"I’m back!"

Tang Tang heard Dou Dou’s voice and immediately skated inside on a scooter.

"If you have time in the evening, buy some gifts to take with you tomorrow."

Shen Siyuan continued instructing Mao Sanmei and also transferred some money to her.

Mao Sanmei noted everything down on her phone.

Shen Siyuan quite liked Xiao Yong as a child, and his mom was quite a fierce person, which Shen Siyuan greatly admired.

Xiao Yong’s dad was originally a taxi driver. One night, he had a dispute with a drunk passenger he picked up and was stabbed to death by the drunk.

The drunk’s family was influential, and eventually, a sum of money was paid, and the matter settled.

Xiao Yong’s mom was very unwilling to let it go, so she sought revenge, poisoning the entire family of three of the drunk, and then chose to turn herself in. Because of this, she received a suspended sentence.

Death sentence changed to life, life changed to a fixed term; she had a chance of getting out, and Xiao Yong still had the opportunity to reunite with her.

"Potato... Potato..." Dou Dou’s cheerful voice interrupted Shen Siyuan’s thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw two little ones riding a scooter towards the balcony.

Behind them was Taozi.

"Why are you back so early?" Shen Siyuan was a bit surprised.

He thought Taozi would stay at home a bit longer.

"There’s not much to do at home, so I came back," Taozi said casually.

Then she sat down next to Shen Siyuan and started eating the fruit salad nearby.

"Potato, I’m talking to you, don’t just focus on being lovey-dovey with Auntie..." Dou Dou said dissatisfiedly.

Taozi almost spit out the salad in her mouth, hiding her giggles to the side.

"What do you want to say?" Shen Siyuan asked helplessly.

"Auntie says I’m Dali Garden Xiao Ying, I’m amazing. Do you want me to take photos for you?"

"Dali Garden Xiao Ying? What’s that, do you want to be a superhero?" Shen Siyuan asked in confusion.

"Pff~ cough..." Taozi couldn’t hold back anymore and choked on herself.

"She’s talking about Tyndall effect," Taozi explained with a smile.

"Auntie, hurry and show him my photos," Dou Dou said proudly.

As they were talking, Duoduo suddenly transformed into a Yin Wind and landed on the balcony.

Taozi and Tang Tang hadn’t noticed yet, but Dou Dou and Shen Siyuan had already looked over.

They saw Duoduo squatting aside, quietly watching everyone.

Taozi, seeing this, followed Shen Siyuan’s gaze, finding nothing but emptiness.

But Tang Tang immediately pointed at Duoduo and let out an exclamation.

"What’s wrong? Feeling aggrieved? Didn’t you go to sell goods at the convenience store with your parents?"

Seeing her expression, Shen Siyuan curiously asked.

He beckoned to her, and Duoduo obediently walked over.

"Heh~, she’s pretending to be good. She definitely wants you to buy her toys," Dou Dou confidently claimed, looking very experienced.

As Duoduo passed by her, she gave her a little tap on the head, just a casual action.

Shen Siyuan picked her up and sat her on his lap. Duoduo took the chance to reveal her form, and Taozi saw her.

"What’s the matter? You don’t really want to buy toys, do you?" Shen Siyuan joked.

"Of course not, Dou Dou is talking nonsense. If I want to buy toys, my mom will buy them for me," Duoduo said anxiously.

Dou Dou, hearing this, was very unconvinced.

So she said, "My mom will also buy them for me, and my aunt will too."

As she said this, she turned her gaze to Taozi.

Taozi wanted to say she wouldn’t buy them, but thought better of it, not wanting to hurt the child’s self-esteem, so she remained silent.

Kids are like this, vying for every little thing.

"If it’s not for toys, then tell me what’s going on."

So Duoduo recounted her day’s experiences.

Because Lin Jianming and his wife both stayed in the store and didn’t go back, and since Duoduo didn’t need to eat, the two decided to order takeout for a simple lunch.

People of their age rarely eat takeout, not because of money, but simply because they feel outside food isn’t hygienic.

They spent a long time studying on the phone, with Duoduo as their advisor. Finally, Song Qingwei ordered a bowl of mixed noodles, being an old Xiajing person, she had a particular fondness for noodles.

As for Lin Jianming, he opted for fried rice and a meat bun, both quite hearty foods.

"Duoduo, when will you be able to eat? By then, mom will cook delicious food for you every day," Song Qingwei said with emotion.

Previously, Shen Siyuan had told her that Duoduo might one day be able to eat like a normal person, and she kept it in mind. Because of this, she had recently learned many new recipes, just waiting for that day to come so she could prepare everything she knew for Duoduo to try.

"Brother says very soon." Duoduo was full of expectation.

Indeed, it would be soon. Once Shen Siyuan fully controlled the Qiongzhou Netherworld, he could confer positions on them. At that time, they wouldn’t be mere ghosts but ghost gods. Because of that single divine character, they would no longer be simple ghosts but could walk the Mortal World just like humans.

PS: That’s all for today, I have two terribly aching teeth. Tomorrow, I need to get them removed, along with pharyngitis, tonsillitis, a whole load of problems, taking loratadine, feeling absolutely miserable.
