Chapter 642: Is My Family Not Wanting Me Anymore?

ishes to bestow great rewards upon you. If you have any requests, please speak freely!”Liu Zhiheng giggled and replied, "Your Majesty, my father often says that I am not capable and have always been o..."What happened" Old Madam Li was startled and quickly hugged the youngest grandson, asking repeatedly: "Why is our Cat-er being wronged Tell grandma, who bullied you Grandma will support you!"

Before others could react, Zhao Yuru's face changed. After all, she usually took care of the cat, so if it was wronged, wouldn't that mean she wasn't a good mother to her child

Tao Hongying discovered that just as she was about to pat her sister-in-law's hand, Jia Yin had already run over and sat in her third aunt's arms.

Zhao Yuru hugged her niece and shook her head at her sister-in-law, indicating that she was fine.

Little Cat cried with choked sobs, his face flushed red as he whimpered, "Grandma, is it because I didn't pass the imperial examination like my older brother that you don't love me anymore! Waaah, our family doesn't want me anymore!"

"What are you talking about" Old Li couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're still young, and you haven't studied for long. Of course, you can't pass the scholar examination yet."

Besides your elder brother and sixth brother, none of us have passed the imperial examinations. Does Grandma dislike us now Doesn't she want any more grandsons

"Little Mao thought about it, and realized that this made sense. But he still couldn't stop his tears. “Grandma, why wouldn’t you let me take the boat to Quanzhou All my brothers have been there, only I haven't. Wah wah wah, Grandma doesn't want her grandson anymore!"

Li Laotai finally understood the little boy's thoughts, and Zhao Yuru let out a long sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Li, it's hard work to be a sailor. The food isn't good, you don't sleep well, and it can be dangerous on the road. Grandma just thinks you're too young and she doesn't want you to suffer."

"I'm not afraid of hardship!" Mao Geer stood his ground, puffing out his thin chest and assuring her repeatedly, "Grandma, I'm a man, I'm a member of the Li family, I'm not afraid of hardship!"

Li Ge'er didn't want to see his younger brother cry, and he knew the younger brother had been feeling down for this matter for a long time. Now, he couldn't help but plead on his behalf.

"Grandma, let Cat-Brother come with us! I'll take good care of him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble!"

Jiarren heard the noise and came to sit down, asking, "Grandma, this time going south, did Jiayi and Liu Yang go with the ship, or did Uncle also go If Uncle is still the leader, then bring along Mao'er as well, I will also help take care of him."

Li Laotai was helpless and could only call Li Zhensheng over to inquire.

Li Zhensheng said, "Mother, I still need to go to Quanzhou again. Not to mention that our family members Ren and Liguo are on the ship, there are also merchant ships from the academy going there, so I have to take care of them."

The little boy, Cat-er, immediately jumped up with joy and shouted, "I'll follow Father! I'll follow Father!"

Li Zhensheng was a little taken aback when his son suddenly hugged him.

Upon hearing the reason, he said: “If you're going, then go. I'll be with you anyway. Jia Yi and Liu Yang are also going, so with more hands, we won't be afraid of anything.”

Even though Li Laotai was reluctant, she could only agree.

The little cat hugged its daddy, then kissed grandma, and then ran in circles all over the kang.

Grandma Li was afraid he would run into Wenjuan and Mrs. Wen, so she quickly chased him away, “Go play in the backyard quickly, don't make a fuss here anymore.”

Jia Yin also quickly called her brothers, "Brothers, come to the backyard with me, I have something good for you."

From the youngest to the oldest, everyone in the family knows that the good things here at Jia Yin are hard to come by.

So, from Jaren to Mao'er, all seven brothers gathered around and went to the backyard with Pating.

Everyone at home was smiling. Li Lao Tai said, "This girl is the best at saving things every day, today she's going to spend it all."

Mrs. Wen also chimed in, "Indeed, I've seen Ye Shan and Dong Mei run to Zheng Family Manor several times. This girl may seem gluttonous and playful on the surface, but she's actually the most astute of them all. I estimate that she's worried about her brothers' safety outside, and hasn't been idle in making preparations."

Old Lady Li sighed, “People say that Fu Niuer has seven older brothers, pampered and loved by them. She’s born with good fortune.”

Actually, I think Jia Ren and his family are fortunate to have such a sister. They must have accumulated good deeds in their past lives.

"When elders sometimes get angry at children for being naive, but a child like Funiu is so sensible, it makes them feel even more heartache."

Madam Wen quickly interjected, “Aunt, you can’t say that. We are all family. Funiu loves her brothers, and her brothers know that they will naturally protect their younger sister in the future.”

“We’re so used to it at home, we don’t think much of it. Outsiders probably have envious eyes that are red with jealousy. Who wouldn’t want their children to be so harmonious and close It’s not easy to achieve!”

"That's right, let's see how these youngsters will support their sister when they grow up." Li Lao smiled and changed the subject, "How have you been these days Is your belly bigger Are you sleeping soundly at night"

Mrs. Wen smiled gently and lightly stroked her abdomen...

Behind the courtyard, Jiayin led her brothers into her private room and instructed Shuiling and He Mamā to bolt the door, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

She closed all the windows, she made her brothers shut them.

Luckily, the weather is cool today. Otherwise, eight siblings crammed into a house would be stifling.

Jia Yin opened the box, taking out delicious food one after another.

Snacks, cakes, assorted pastries, fruit, grapes, oranges, even mangoes and lychees from the south, and jade melon, a few golden fruits!

Snacks and appetizers are fine, but the fruits are unbelievably fresh, like they were just picked from the fields and trees. It's a bit eerie...

But the Jiaren brothers didn't ask a single word, they sat together, eating and talking.

Jia Yin felt relieved and took out seven crossbow arrows and seven daggers, all from Zheng Family Manor.

Just as Mrs. Wen said, since the family decided to have her brothers take turns going south, she had begun making preparations.

Going out and about is not just about having money, safety is paramount.

Although they were following their family's ship and had the care of their elders, a thousand miles has its unforeseen circumstances!

At any time, relying on oneself more is never excessive in making all-round preparations.

When Jia Ren and his brothers saw these exquisitely crafted crossbows and daggers, their eyes lit up, and they all put down their food and crowded around.

"Sister, where did you get these crossbow arrows! Wow, you can even fire three in a row" Jia Yi was delighted by the sight of them and, being more familiar with weapons himself, immediately recognized the exceptional quality of the crossbow arrows.

"This was crafted by the master craftsmen from Zhengjiazhuang. It can be fixed to your arm and hidden under your sleeve. In case of danger, just raise your arm and it will fire!"

"The master from Zhengjiazhuang said that within five zhang, no one could dodge. But for first-rate martial artists, they would need to be closer, catching them off guard would be best."

Jiarren's a few things I'm not familiar with and am hesitant to touch.

After a moment's thought, Jiayi pressed the switch on the doorknob.

Ding!

Before anyone could react, an arrow had already been embedded in the door.

The arrow was not large, being only half the length of a normal arrow shaft.

But this speed is truly too fast, no wonder they say he's invincible within five zhang.

No matter how skilled one is, it's impossible to dodge a hidden arrow that strikes in the blink of an eye!

Jia Anjia happily ran to open the door and saw He Grandma and Shuiling standing outside with pale faces.

It was clear that they were frightened.

And on the door, half an arrow was visible!

Home Peace and Home Joy were both astonished. After much effort, they managed to pull out the arrowhead and then, grinning, shut the door again...es.When the house was finally quiet, Lord Duke dismissed all his servants and discussed matters with his wife.Hearing the reason, the old wife also regretted, "It was my fault that I harmed my son.
