CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: THE RABBIT DOESN’T EAT VEGETABLES

With her new playmate, Xiaosuisui cared about little else and searched everywhere for grass to feed the rabbit.

When pulling up grass, she also unearthed two earthworms. The little girl wasn’t scared. She held the earthworms in her hand, urging the little rabbit to open its mouth!

"Xiaobai, eat up! Meat is the tastiest. Grass is too bitter; it’s not good!"

Xiaobai nuzzled its mouth against her palm but didn’t open it, instead tilting its head up.

Xiaosuisui casually patted Xiaobai’s head. "Go on, eat. Don’t be shy. After you finish, I’ll dig up more for you."

The Ji Family members stood in Ji Youyuan’s room, looking out through the window. They all looked as if they were constipated.

Our precious girl... eh? Rabbits are herbivores!

However...

"Xiaobai is so good! I’ll go find more meat for you!" Xiaosuisui declared.

The moment she finished speaking, Xiaobai hopped away, fleeing as if for its life.

"Was the meat so delicious that Xiaobai got overly excited?"

Patting her head, Xiaosuisui was puzzled. She squatted by the corner of the wall, huffing and puffing as she pulled out grass to find more "meat"!

"Was Suisui’s mind damaged by that old Li woman?"

Her Fifth Sister had taken the best care of her when she was little. Suisui was Fifth Sister’s only child, yet she had been so tormented by that old Li woman!

Seeing his little niece tormented into a "silly girl," Ji Youzhi immediately wanted to go settle accounts with that old hag.

"Where are you going?" Seeing her youngest son about to run off again right after returning, Old Madam Ji’s expression turned grim.

Ji Youzhi, his face flushed with anger, said, "I’m going to settle accounts with that old hag! Didn’t you see how their family has tormented Xiaosuisui into a fool?"

Hearing her son say the little girl had been made foolish, Old Madam Ji was furious.

"Which of your eyes saw her become foolish? If you ask me, you’re the blind one!"

Hearing his mother’s words, Ji Youzhi’s eyes widened in surprise.

"I’m blind? I think you’re all blind! Can’t you see the little girl is raising the rabbit like a chicken?"

Heavens, what had she been doing just now? Digging for earthworms and insisting the rabbit eat them. Who ever heard of a normal child doing such a thing?

"You’re the one who’s blind! Your whole family is blind!" Old Madam Ji slapped Ji Youzhi on the head, so angry she spoke without thinking.

Ji Youzhi: "..."

My whole family includes you, Mother!

Ji Youyuan, Huo Xing’Er, Zhu Xiuxiu, and Ji Youbo all cast sympathetic gazes at Ji Youzhi.

Oh, this brother who just returned! How did you even get that reputation as a Divine Hunter? Is raising a rabbit like a chicken the main point? The main point is that this rabbit isn’t a vegetarian! A rabbit that should be eating grass opened its mouth and ate two earthworms. That’s what’s truly abnormal, isn’t it?!

"Alright, let’s put aside settling accounts with the Li Family for now," Ji Youyuan said, changing the subject. "Xiaosuisui can avenge her own grievances when she’s older. Let’s discuss other matters first."

Then, the family members looked away and sat down.

Huo Xing’Er nodded and sat on a cushion facing Ji Youyuan. Beside her was the Old Madam, beside the Old Madam was Zhu Xiuxiu, and then Ji Youzhi and Ji Youbo.

Many strange things had happened today. Eldest Sister-in-law Wang Dongxue, who never took afternoon naps, had surprisingly dozed off and gone for one. Ji Youran was still in solitary confinement, so everyone from the Ji Family who could be present was there for the meeting. Old Madam Ji was a woman of her word. She had said Ji Youran would be confined for three days, and she absolutely wouldn’t let him out even an hour earlier!

"Younger Sister-in-law," Ji Youyuan was the first to speak. "I heard you performed divinations by finger-pinching and vomited blood?"

Huo Xing’Er nodded, her face somber.

"Is it related to Suisui?"

Huo Xing’Er still nodded.

"Actually, I’ve also tried to divine Xiaosuisui’s fate using her birth chart, but I couldn’t penetrate its secrets. Sister-in-law Xing’Er, do you happen to know..."

"Big Brother!"
