Chapter 1398: Chapter 1220: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Shagen came out and saw the flustered look on Axiang’s face, and then at the jade bracelet in her hand, he immediately understood something.

He looked at Axiang with a wronged expression, "This... did he give this to you?"

"He forced it on me, I didn’t want it," Axiang said as she looked at the jade bracelet in her hand as if it were a hot potato, "What should I do? Should I throw it away?"

Just as Axiang was about to throw it away, Shagen snatched it from her, saying angrily, "I’ll throw it away for you, you go inside and cook!"

"Alright... okay," Axiang watched Shagen, not knowing where he planned to throw it, but saw him take the bracelet and leave.

Where was he planning to throw it?

Never mind, as long as he’s happy, let him throw it wherever he wants.

Axiang turned around and went back to cook.

...

After sending the bracelet, Zhao Datu’s mood had improved a bit.

Axiang was gullible and easy to persuade, as long as he persisted, she would eventually come back to him.

When she did come back, he feared he wouldn’t treat her the same as before, but would instead pamper her well, no, have her pamper him properly.

Thinking this, Zhao Datu cheerfully went to have his meal.

But he had only eaten half of it when he heard a cry of "Ouch," followed by Aunt Zhao’s nearly exploding voice: "Who threw this, who!"

Aunt Zhao had been down on her luck recently, getting hit on the head while simply walking. She initially thought it was a brick or something similar, but when she looked down, she saw it was a box. She quickly picked up the box and saw that inside was a jade bracelet.

"Whose bracelet is this? What does throwing it mean?" Aunt Zhao wondered.

But since it was valuable, she quickly put it away before others gathered. When Uncle Zhao and Zhao Datu came around, she acted as though nothing had happened, "Don’t bother looking, I’m fine!"

"Mom, what did you just say hit you?"

"Bird droppings, bird droppings hit my head!" Aunt Zhao said nonchalantly.

Uncle Zhao cursed under his breath, "Nuts!"

Then he resumed eating.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Zhao went back to her room and immediately put the bracelet away, but after a little while, she took it out again to admire it by the candlelight, thinking how genuinely nice the bracelet was; she didn’t even have one as attractive as this.

She’d hide it for a month or two, and once people stopped paying attention, she’d wear it. If anyone asked, she would just say it was a gift from the heavens.

Touching the lump that had formed on her head, she thought, indeed, wasn’t it a gift from the heavens?

...

Longya Gang.

Dabao’s first day here went very well; Long San and Lu Jianxi were very enthusiastic, and Long Aixi was even more so. At dinner, she kept talking about her experiences in Peach Blossom Village, how fun it was to go hunting in the mountains or catching fish in the river, and how Xiaoge had taught her all sorts of lethal moves, all very practical.

The food within the Longya Gang was clearly more refined than that of Peach Blossom Village. Take the Braised Ribs, for instance, not only did it look succulent and tender on the outside, but the dish was also garnished with broccoli and radish around the plate, truly appealing to all senses. Dabao couldn’t help but eat a few extra pieces.

Lu Jianxi watched Dabao eat heartily and was extremely pleased, "The Lady raised by Yege and Nan Feng is really different; straightforward, unpretentious, eating when she wants, drinking when she wishes; not as affected like other ladies here."

While eating, Dabao explained, "Aunt Jianxi, I’ve always loved to eat since I was little. When I see something I like, I have to eat more. Just don’t mind me eating a lot."

"How could I? If you eat a lot here, that’s showing me respect. If you didn’t eat this or that, I would think I didn’t host you well," Lu Jianxi said with a smile.

Long San watched from the side and couldn’t help but smile, "Dabao, since you’ve come here, Aunt Jianxi’s smile has become so much brighter. She usually isn’t this cheerful."

Lu Jianxi playfully scolded, "Dabao, don’t listen to your Uncle Long San’s nonsense. I just regret not having a daughter of my own. Now that you’re here, you can help fulfill a small wish of mine. How about Aunt Jianxi takes you out tomorrow for a stroll and buys you a few outfits?"

Dabao hesitated for a moment. Her mother had told her that if Aunt Jianxi offered to buy her clothes, she should not refuse but just accept them. After all, the way ladies dressed in the Provincial City was different from the countryside, so she nodded, "Then... I’ll listen to Aunt Jianxi."
