Chapter 13 Previously, my wife pushed you; don't be angry.

Luo's father chuckled and walked up to Wei Pozi, clasping his hands in greeting: "Aunt Wei, I've come to express my gratitude! Your children saved my son Qiong Niu's life!"

Wei Pozi was still confused about what had happened and frowned, but the old hen was already thrust into her hands by Luo's father.

Luo's father then addressed Xingxing, whose eyelashes still glistened with tears: "Little girl, previously my wife pushed you; don't be angry. She was just very worried at the time. Fortunately, you weren't hurt!"

Xingxing felt a bit shy and hid behind Wei Pozi. But deep down, she still cared about Luo Qiong Niu, after all, he was someone she and her brothers had worked hard to save!

Gathering her courage, Xingxing asked Luo's father softly: "That person, is he, is he okay now?"

At this, Luo's father beamed with joy: "He's fine, he's fine. We came back earlier and invited Daxisipo to check on him! Daxisipo said that because the snake venom was treated promptly and properly, there's no major issue. He just needs to take some herbal medicine and rest!"

Daxisipo was a shaman from nearby Bajiao Village. Though she seemed strange and mysterious, her medical skills were genuinely effective. People from the surrounding villages often sought her help for difficult ailments.

Daxisipo also advised the Luo family that during this festival season, the half-flower lotus used on their child's foot was a valuable remedy that saved their child's life. They must repay the favor, or it would bring misfortune upon their child.

Despite the pain of parting with it, Luo's mother kept muttering, but Luo's father gritted his teeth and brought an old hen to the Yu family.

Luo's father showered praise on Xingxing, Liu Ge'er, and Gui Ge'er, complimenting the Yu family for raising such wonderful children.

These compliments were very pleasing to hear, but everyone except Liu Ge'er, Gui Ge'er, and Xingxing was still confused.

As Luo's father prepared to leave, Wei Pozi held onto him firmly, one hand clutching the hen: "Nephew Luo, if you don't explain clearly what happened, how can we accept this hen?"

She tried to push the flapping hen back into Luo's father's hands.

Luo's father was surprised and looked at Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er: "You haven't told your family yet?"

Gui Ge'er spoke quickly: "We haven't had the chance yet!"

Bai Xiaofeng was anxious and poked her youngest son's head: "What's going on?"

Gui Ge'er rubbed his head innocently: "Mother, as soon as we got home, you made us work and divided the threads. You also chattered for a long time. How could we have had the chance?"

Earlier, Gui Ge'er wanted to speak but heard his grandmother yelling outside and rushed out to see what was happening.

Indeed, they hadn't had the chance!

Bai Xiaofeng glared at her sons.

A villager interjected: "Second Hu's wife, don't be upset. This shows your children did good deeds without seeking recognition. It proves your family educates them well!"

Bai Xiaofeng loved hearing this and immediately stopped being annoyed, her smile reaching her ears!

Indeed, wasn't that so!

Liu Ge'er and Gui Ge'er were from their branch, and they had truly made her proud!

Hearing the villagers talk about not seeking rewards, Luo's father quickly added: "We must repay the favor, we must! Daxisipo said that the half-flower lotus used by your children is very valuable. Besides, our Luo family isn't ungrateful!"

Everyone became even more puzzled and urged Luo's father to explain. He scratched his head: "Our son Qiong Niu was bitten by a snake and fainted. Luckily, this little girl found him in the grasslands, and Liu Ge'er helped squeeze out the venom. I also heard that this little girl helped find the half-flower lotus for Qiong Niu... In short, this little girl, Liu Ge'er, and Gui Ge'er, who ran to inform us, saved our son's life!"

Everyone finally understood and praised the Yu family for raising such good children!

Bai Xiaofeng beamed with pride, her chest puffed out high!

Li Chunhua felt a bit envious. Why didn't her sons Huai Ge'er and Bai Ge'er encounter such a situation? Her sons were equally capable!

Wei Pozi was also immensely proud!

The anxiety over the missing heart-burning grass was alleviated by this event.

Wei Pozi loudly told Luo's father: "I still can't accept this hen. Take it back! Your son Qiong Niu was just bitten by a snake. Although our children saved his life, he needs to recover and should be nourished!"

Wei Pozi couldn't resist emphasizing again that her children had saved Luo Qiong Niu's life.

Luo's father wanted to keep the hen for his son's recovery, but Daxisipo's words echoed in his mind. He dared not risk his only son losing his fortune!

Luo's father waved his hands: "Aunt Wei, it's all thanks to your family's upbringing! Even if we ignore the life-saving favor, the half-flower lotus alone could fetch a lot of money in the county. You really must accept this hen, it's the least we can do!"

The villagers also joined in persuading Wei Pozi, and she reluctantly accepted the hen.

Luo's father earned a good reputation for being grateful and left the Yu family happily.

After the villagers dispersed, Wei Pozi smiled at the flapping hen in her hands: "Let's keep it for a few days and see if it lays eggs. When it does, we'll give the eggs to Xingxing, Liu Ge'er, and Gui Ge'er to nourish their bodies!"

Bai Xiaofeng laughed heartily.

Eating eggs, how wonderful!

This time, her sons had made her proud in the village and brought tangible benefits. As a mother, she was overjoyed!

Looking at Xingxing, she saw her as the most adorable girl in the world!

Indeed, she was the lucky star her son had mentioned!

Though Li Chunhua was envious, she knew that her sons Huai Ge'er and Bai Ge'er would also get their share of the eggs.

Eating eggs was a great thing!

Moreover, since they were all part of the Yu family, the good reputation of saving a life would benefit everyone, including their branch.

When it came time for Huai Ge'er to marry, this would be a significant advantage!

Thinking about it, Li Chunhua felt quite pleased.

Only Su Rouer wasn't very happy, her lips pressed tightly together.

Hearing the words of the person from the Luo family, that half-blossom lotus must be a good thing. If sold for money, who knew how many hens it could buy!

Seeing the overjoyed family, Su Rouer felt a sour taste in her heart.

Wei Pozi smiled happily and personally carried the old hen from the Luo family to the chicken coop in the courtyard.

The old hen flapped its wings into the coop, and Wei Pozi suddenly squinted her eyes, noticing a plant lying there amidst the withered straw, looking somewhat familiar.

Deciding to investigate, Wei Pozi lifted the hem of her dress and entered the coop, avoiding the chicken droppings on the ground, and picked up the plant from the nest.

Sure enough, it was the missing heartburn grass from the windowsill!

This heartburn grass had been pecked at a few times by the chickens, but because it is slightly toxic when eaten directly, the chickens didn't like it, allowing it to remain.

Wei Pozi felt a great deal of compassion for this heartburn grass, which, though somewhat impaired and not in its prime, should still be able to command a decent price.

She carefully placed the heartburn grass in her bosom and sighed with relief.

Seeing this, Su Rouer could guess that this was the plant her son had thrown into the chicken coop. She quickly said, "Mother, see? I told you someone must have accidentally pushed the window, causing the plant to fall down. It's normal for the wind to blow it into the chicken coop."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Pozi's sharp gaze fixed straight on her.
