42 -42: Keeping One’s Achievements and Fame Hidden
Helian Qiao wrinkled her little brow in disgust, “I don’t need your protection.”
She was the mighty and awe-inspiring Golden Dragon, who didn’t need protection from a mere human child.
But Chen Erbao didn’t take any notice at all because his generous uncle who had just lured him with candy, eventually gave him the sweets.
He wasn’t the sort to keep all the treats to himself, happily dividing half of it for his sister.
“Come on, Guibao, big brother is going to take you fishing!”
Helian Qiao’s eyes lit up and she raised her tiny hand in enthusiasm, “Alright, let’s go!”
Lobster soldiers and crab generals, your Princess is coming!
A few of the boys from the Zhou family also enthusiastically chimed in, “I’m coming too!”
So a group of children, with a large bucket in tow, went off merrily to the creek to fish and catch shrimps.
Helian Qiao was the only girl among them.
Some older girls from the Zhou family stayed behind to help with cooking and couldn’t join them in their venture.
The little ones, whom the boys found bothersome and refused to play with, could only watch with envy as Helian Qiao was lavished with attention from the crowd.
In the kitchen, Mrs.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Zhang was very satisfied with the basketful of goodies that her eldest daughter had brought home.
She casually asked, “Why did you bring your little niece back with you?”
Zhou Zhaodi proudly replied, “Guibao is very lucky.
I brought her with me to bring good luck to our Zhou family.”
Mrs.
Zhang frowned, “While the child certainly seems delightful, in the end, she’s not your own.
You shouldn’t be too kind to her.
You should have more sons while you’re young.
That’s most important.”
Among the three daughters, she loved her youngest the most.
Not only because her birth was followed by three brothers, but also because she was sweet and clever from a very young age.
So when it was time to find her a match, she was married off to the Chens, who were the best option.
Despite her deep affection for her daughter, Mrs.
Zhang valued her sons the most.
Only a son could carry on the family line.
Only a son could support her in her old age and bury her when she died!
Zhou Zhaodi thought to herself that her mother wasn’t aware of just how lucky Guibao was, who was sure to marry into the city just like her aunt.
She merely responded, “Don’t worry, mother.
I know what I’m doing.”
Before dinner, the gang of children returned from their fishing and shrimp-catching adventures.
The adults of the Zhou family were astonished to see the large bucket full of fish, shrimp, and crabs that the children had brought back.
“How did you catch so many fish and shrimp?”
The creatures in the creek were hard to catch after all, and even the adults struggled to land even a single one after half a day’s work.
A triumphant Chen Erbao immediately began to flaunt, “As soon as we got there, the fishes flipped onto their backs, exposing their bellies.
The shrimps and crabs didn’t move a bit and just allowed us to catch them!”
The adults couldn’t believe it, “Erbao, children who tell lies won’t get any meat.”
The accused Chen Erbao immediately became upset and defended himself by accusing a group of cousins, “I didn’t lie!
Ask them if you don’t believe me!”
The other boys rushed to corroborate his story, “Erbao brother’s (younger brother’s) telling the truth!
So many fishes were floating on their backs on the surface; we couldn’t even pick them all up…”
The adults of Zhou family were dumbfounded.
They knew their own children wouldn’t conspire to lie to them.
They looked around at each other, “What on earth is going on?”
“How would we know?”
Only Zhou Zhaodi seemed unsurprised, and the look in her eyes as she watched her little niece grew more fervent, “Guibao, are you thirsty?
Would you like Aunt Er to make you some sweet water?”
She decided, she must treat her little niece even better from now on!
The accomplishing yet humble Helian Qiao nodded her head sweetly and cutely, “Yes~”
