Chapter 4, Do Not Imitate Her

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ping rushed into the kitchen to quickly serve rice to his parents. He was filled with trepidation, fearing his interactions with Daining. At this moment, in Zhao Ping's eyes, the eldest daughter of the Ji family would have to pay a hefty sum for any damage she caused.

Dainin ran into the house filled with anticipation, but within half a minute, she came back out.

Uncle Qian said with a dry mouth: "The village chief promised me that he would kill all the pigs at his home that would scare you. Miss, could you please stay here?"

The package is half a person's height, containing the young lady's floor mat, as well as curtains and pillows. It has a compartment to ensure everything is kept clean and tidy

She is very beautiful, with every detail from the corners of her eyes to the tips of her brows being exquisite. When she saw him looking up at her, she revealed a mischievous smile

Dai Ning said: "Zhang Yongfeng, take his luggage."

His family is very poor, living in a mud-brick house, with occasional moss on the cement walls outside, and the light inside the room is also poor

This person turns out to be Zhao An'an from childhood! She remembers that girl wasn't this ugly, and six years later, twelve-year-old Zhao An'an looks quite charming.

Dai Ning said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhao Yu said he would take care of me."

Zhao Yu also lowered his gaze, standing in front of Zhao Ping, shaking his head: "I apologize, my family is very poor and I cannot take out that much money for the time being"

There is one room for the parents, one each for him and his younger brother and sister, leaving no extra room available for the eldest young lady

In the evening, Zhao Ping faced a problem while cooking.

Zhao Ping's eyes turned red upon hearing this "astronomical" figure, and he nearly fainted

The village chief let out a sigh of relief, feeling an inexplicable sense of ease at having sent off the deity. Although the earnings were reduced, at least the people were safe

Zhao Yu did not speak of him again; the situation has already reached this point, and solving the problem is the most important thing. Today, the rice cannot be harvested, and we need to go back to make room for the young lady in the city.

Zhao Ping made a mistake, and at this moment he was very obedient. He herded the chickens in the house into the coop and cleaned the chicken droppings in the yard thoroughly

Zhao Yu asked Zhao An'an: "Did she bully you?"

Upon thinking of this, she puffed up her cheeks, finding Zhao Yu displeasing no matter how she looked at him

Four bodyguards carried her bed, clearly intending to accompany her. Zhao Yu said nothing and led the way in front.

Zhao Yu frowned: "You speak."

Dai Ning looked at the skinny, emaciated black girl in front of her with surprise and asked, "What is your name?"

Zhao Yu surprisingly felt a sense of foreboding. He knew that the witch with an angelic face was up to something again

Uncle Qian was filled with worry upon hearing this and was just about to stop the young lady

Uncle Qian has a terrible headache

Zhang Yongfeng scratched his head: "Oh."

Do I want to be a young lady

Behind him, the smoke from cooking wafted gently, as each household prepared their meals. Daining observed him from a distance; he stood approximately 1.83 meters tall, appearing less mature than he would later become, with slightly darker skin. Yet, it was his demeanor, that sense of calmness, which struck a familiar chord.

Zhao An'an feels somewhat wronged; she is also aware that she is not attractive.

Zhao An'an asked: "Second brother, what happened?"

Zhao Yu washed his face and brought up some well water. He said, "Let's get started."

Uncle Qian walked down, feeling a deep sense of sympathy in his heart

Zhao Ping said: "We don't have any meat at home, how about..." He glanced at his brother. The family raises chickens, which are easy to care for. They usually catch insects or can be fed with vegetable leaves.

Zhao Yu naturally understood the principle that one must compensate for damaging someone else's belongings. The eighteen-year-old boy, barefoot, calmly looked up and met the girl's gaze.

After she finished speaking, a person jumped out excitedly

That delicate young lady looks down on the village chief's house, let alone this dilapidated dwelling of his.

Dai Ning waved her hand and said, "No need, just pack it up and let Zhao Yu wash it."

Uncle Qian turned back with difficulty to glance at Daining

According to reason, one should first serve the parents, but today a distinguished guest has arrived at home, and Zhao Ping looked towards his brother

Zhao Yu pressed his lips together

You are Zhao Ping's brother, right? The bowl he broke is worth thirty-four thousand six hundred yuan

Since Zhao An'an was born, she has never seen such a person, and she feels very uneasy

Zhang Yongfeng nodded eagerly, resembling a loyal guard dog.

Dai Ning was very happy and asked him: "Do you have pigs at home?"

Usually, the young lady would not carry just this amount of money in her bag; I wonder what offense the Zhao family has committed against her.

Zhao Yu brought some thin wooden boards and repaired the window

Brother, please give my room to Miss Ji

Zhao Yu said, "I will go back and tidy up."

"This is it," Daining said, her rosy cheeks turning towards Zhao Yu. "I have an idea, let you pay off the debt."

Girl's Way: "We will stay at your house, and you will take care of us, as a way to repay you."

Uncle Qian sighed heavily, while Zhang Yongfeng only listened to Daining. Hearing the young lady mention taking the luggage, he hurriedly picked up a large package and a light blue suitcase.

Zhao Ping's room has a leak in the corner of the wall, and his window has issues, causing drafts at night

Upon arriving at the village chief's house, I found that there were quite a few onlookers. The frail Zhao Ping was trembling, and the moment he saw Zhao Yu, tears streamed down his face

Dai Ning turned around and glared at Zhang Yongfeng: "What are you following me for? Go back!"

The young lady resembles a fairy, and the wealth in her family could be piled up into a mountain

To be honest, she wouldn't feel soft-hearted even if all the Zhao family members died there, except for Zhao An'an

Two hens can lay two eggs every day. Usually, they are steamed with a drop of oil for my parents to eat in the morning, or directly made into boiled eggs. Occasionally, I feed a couple of bites to my younger sister. This time, the young lady has come...

Zhao Yu walked over at dusk

Brother, I did not do it on purpose

Zhao Yu rolled up his sleeves and entered his own room

He is a diligent person, and the house is usually clean. If the young lady is to move in today, it would be easiest for him to tidy up his own room, and he will squeeze in with his younger brother.

There are four rooms in the house, the largest belonging to my parents, but it is filled with the smell of medicine year-round and cluttered with miscellaneous items

Zhao Yu silently took it over; having worked hard for many years, he was not lacking in strength. Carrying a huge package, he did not find it burdensome.

Dai Ning nodded arrogantly and went to see the bodyguard lying on the bed

To be honest, Zhao Ping feels that his home has never been this clean during the New Year, as his brother has cleared all the weeds from the yard

Dai Ning finds this girl’s worldview quite peculiar; isn’t it only natural to compensate for broken items? Is being poor a justification for such behavior?

domineering, bad-tempered, petty, and spoiled

Their family has porridge for dinner, and with the sweet potatoes from the cellar, they can fill their stomachs to about seventy percent. It is impossible to stir-fry any dishes. If it weren't for the busy farming season, the elder brother could make a trip down the mountain and buy some meat, but these past two days have been hectic with farm work. Zhao Yu is exhausted and has no time to go down the mountain, and the family hasn't had meat for several days.

She hates this person, and there are reasons for it

The porcelain bowls from their family cost at most one yuan each, and they are sold outside the mountains

If Daining were merely a reader, ignoring the fact that Zhao Yu is a "Phoenix man," she would still applaud this man's glorious life.

Dai Ning was very satisfied, and thus signaled Zhao Yu to continue walking

What are you crying for? I am here.

Unfortunately, she is the foolish daughter of a wealthy family in the book, used for her resources, abandoned by others, and mistreated. Moreover, in order to obtain her family's wealth, Zhao Yu is very likely the murderer of her grandfather.

She said in a delicate voice: "I can't bear to watch, you pay it back for him."

Years later, the family's thoughts were not shallow, but only Zhao An'an truly believed that Daining would be her sister-in-law. Zhao An'an had an introverted and kind personality, seeing everyone as a good person

In this male-oriented novel, Zhao Yu is one of the protagonists. He comes from a poor background and has a difficult family situation. He has always been self-taught, emerging from the mountains. Later, relying on his outstanding business acumen and steady personality, he catches the attention of a wealthy family and agrees to marry into it.

Zhao An'an hugged Zhao Yu's neck tightly and nodded slightly

Dainin said, "I am leaving, quickly bring my luggage up"

Zhao Yu is coming soon

Zhao Yu glanced at her and took his younger brother home

Zhao Yu was waiting nearby, carrying Dainin's luggage. In a short period, he had basically understood Dainin's character.

Zhao Ping said quietly: "I broke Miss Ji's bowl, and my brother promised to let her stay at our home"

The girl had a pair of round cat-like eyes filled with fiery intensity

The village is just this big, fortunately there is a main road, and it is not far. By the time they arrived, Zhao Ping had just finished preparing the meal

Village Chief Li Aiguo asked, "Miss, does my daughter still need to wash the clothes you changed out of today?" He was very worried that his daughter's rough hands would ruin the young lady's garments, as his family could not afford to compensate for any damage

Zhao Yu said to Zhao Ping: "Go and tell our parents."

Zhao Yu immediately said: "No."

Dainin seemed as if she had been struck by lightning

Zhao Yu restrained his temper and pulled Zhao An'an over: "Miss Tu Shi Ji, please go check the room."

The village chief anxiously said to Uncle Qian: "The Zhao family is very poor, Miss Ji from your family cannot get used to living there. Old Zhao is paralyzed, and his wife is also ill"

Zhao Ping wept all the way; at the age of twelve, he had never felt such sorrow before

Zhao Ping, seeing his elder brother's composure, gradually felt less anxious. He responded affirmatively and informed his parents that someone was coming to the house

Zhao Yu set down Daining's luggage and said softly: "As usual"

Zhao An'an sat in the courtyard and was very surprised to see her two older brothers return early

On the road, Zhao Yu listened to Liu Bo recount the events that transpired

Zhao Yu immediately noticed that she was in a bad mood; he was a clever man and chose to remain silent

He was afraid that the young lady would find fault, so he did not secure it tightly, leaving a bright light, and temporarily made curtains out of heavy fabric

Zhao Yu picked her up and whispered, "It's okay, if she comes to our house and bullies you, just tell your brother."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only the Zhao brothers on the scene but also the villagers watching the commotion from the periphery all gasped in shock

Zhao Yu changed into his shoes after washing his feet and examined his house.

More than 30,000, the village chief's family cannot come up with this amount of money

She was satisfied: "Then you hurry up."

Zhao An'an had never seen the "young lady," but she had heard about her from her neighbor, Brother Daniu.

Dai Ning would not reason with him; she said: "Repay the money or take care of me, you choose"

Zhang Yongfeng quickly agreed and handed the package to Zhao Yu

Zhao Yu remained silent, using his rough palm to wipe away the tears of his younger brother

Zhao An'an leaned against the door, watching her elder brother tidy up the house

Zhao An'an shook her head

Although he learned from the village chief that the young man was very independent and had good character, he was still reluctant to leave this valuable item in the home of a stranger

Daining went downstairs, tilting her head with an air of indifference as if the matter did not concern her

Just right, Uncle Qian has calculated the accounts. Daining slightly raised her chin and poked Uncle Qian: "Tell them how much my bowl is worth"

Dai Ning said, "Uncle Qian and the others can choose not to go; I will stay at your house."

He finally said: "Don't learn from her"

The three siblings each harbored their own thoughts as they tidied up the house

Zhao Yu turned around and realized something was amiss; the young lady in the courtyard had grabbed hold of his younger sister

Zhao Yu shook his head

Recently, Chen Xiaoli, who has been quite honest, nearly exploded with anger upon hearing this. She had originally thought that once Daining left, her good days would begin, but she did not expect Ji Daining to be so calculating

Dai Ning poked Zhao An'an's face and said: "You are so ugly"

Zhao Yu wiped his hands: "No need, don't make eggs, and don't kill the chickens that you and An An raised, keep them for your parents"

Chen Xiaoli's face turned red, and in an instant, it became as quiet as a chicken. Where could she possibly get thirty thousand yuan from

The black girl looked at her in amazement and shyness: "Zhao, Zhao An'an."

Zhao An'an timidly looked at her two older brothers

Dainin was upstairs, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at him

In the evening, Dainin changed into a pair of ordinary sandals and waited for Zhao Yu to pick her up

Zhao Yu glanced at the lively figure of the girl in front of him. He wanted to refute her, but he had to admit that, even if all the unpleasant qualities could be attributed to her, in terms of appearance, she truly left him at a loss for any derogatory words.

He could not relax his furrowed brow, and Zhao Ping knew he was in the wrong

The suitcase contains clothing and daily necessities

Chen Xiaoli looked disapprovingly and said, "Dai Ning, your family is so wealthy, why do you insist on holding onto others?"

Uncle Qian feels that he is so anxious that he might lose a few years of his life

Everyone thought he was easy to manipulate, but unexpectedly, he leveraged the resources of a wealthy family, advancing smoothly along his path, ultimately becoming a great legend

"Elder brother," she pursed her lips and said softly, with a hint of envy and disappointment, "the young lady is truly beautiful"

She looked fierce, making Zhang Yongfeng grin foolishly

As for Zhao An'an, her room is pitifully small, resembling a cat's nest

Zhao Yu had no intention of treating Daining to good food, not because he was stingy, nor because he harbored any particular hatred towards her. He understood clearly that a young lady whose set of dishes cost over 30,000 would not be interested in the two chickens and a few eggs from his home

Dai Ning said: "Do not let others touch my things, otherwise I will be angry, especially Chen Xiaoli"

He refused decisively. Seeing the girl with a face full of displeasure, he explained in a low voice: "There are five people in my family, and there are only four rooms available for living."

No
