"How did the three of you come together?"
"Brother Ziāan was waiting for us at the school on purpose," Yang Qingtong said as she put down her schoolbag.
"Sister, look, Brother Ziāan also brought back puppies," said Yang Xiayun.
"Puppies?" Yang Chuxia looked over, so the big box he was carrying contained puppies? She quickly went forward to check, and indeed, there were a few new-born puppies.
"Aww, where did these come from? They must be from the same litter."
Ye Ziāan casually smiled. "They were born to the guard dog at the restaurant. There are six in total. Shopkeeper Li originally wanted to throw them away, but I thought it was a pity, so I took them. I thought since we live far away from the village, we could raise them to be watchdogs."
"You think of everything, I didnāt even consider that," Yang Chuxia played with the puppies and asked, "Are they a month old yet? If theyāre not, they might not be easy to raise."
"They just turned a month old today," Ye Ziāan put down the puppies and continued, "Which ones do you like? According to Shopkeeper Li, their father is an unusual breed, with long hair making them look cute, and they can grow pretty big, like a little lion. Looking at these puppies now, I guess they take after their father."
Based on Ye Ziāanās description, Yang Chuxia felt that the puppies looked like chow chows, but that breed shouldnāt be present in this era, right?
Could it be that in this alternate reality, many things were different from her past world?
The more she looked at the puppies, the more they looked like chow chows. She used to love this breed; they looked majestic and their long fur was comfortable to hold.
"Brother An, I want these lighter-colored ones," she said.
"Sure!"
"Brother Ziāan, I also want a puppy," Yang Xiayun, like all children, loved small animals and was already envious of Yang Chuxia picking out a puppy.
"You want one too? Alright, Iāll give you one to raise, and the rest will go to Brother Ziāan to be watched and raised as guard dogs," Chuxia replied.
"Okay!" Overjoyed at getting a puppy, Yang Xiayun obediently went to the side.
As for the brother duo, they werenāt particularly interested in the puppies and went back to their rooms after a quick glance.
Once everyone left, Yang Chuxia secretly told Ye Ziāan about the events she had encountered over the past few days. He found the affairs of Old Lady Hua and Ms.Lv of Hua Family quite repulsive.
"Xiaxia, what do you plan to do?" Ye Ziāan was clever enough to understand that Chuxia had a plan in mind after hearing her story.
"I asked Ms.Lv of Hua Family to keep an eye on the old lady. When there is news, sheāll inform me. Humph, I need to get rid of that disgusting woman quickly, lest she ruins the Feng Shui of our Yang Family home," she said.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Ye Ziāan asked, still puzzled. He thought Yang Chuxia was discussing the matter with him, but it seemed she had already made arrangements.
"You silly boy, what can you do in this kind of situation?" Yang Chuxia laughed, then continued, "Actually, the reason Iām telling you is because I wonder if Ms.Hua Junior is the same as her mother and aunt. Maybe we should find someone to keep an eye on her too. If sheās just like her mother, we can use it as an excuse to kick her out and take back your fatherās belongings."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziāan shook his head, "Ms.Hua Junior might be cruel, but I donāt think sheās the promiscuous type."
"Hmm, since you say so, she must be decent in this aspect, so weāll leave her alone for now. After we deal with my step-grandmother, weāll plan further and kick out your stepmother. Those with the surname Hua sticking around our village are really annoying," Chuxia agreed.
"Okay, letās not rush my matter; Iāve been enduring it for years anyway."
