The daily life of a space tycoon raising children, doting on his husband, and farming.

Chapter 24 Don't bite people randomly

“Yesterday I went to the Zhang family to borrow Aunt Zhou’s needles and thread. Yuanyuan cried and wanted to go out, so I took her to the Zhang family to return the needles and thread.”

Xiao Huan looked anxious, her eyes swollen from crying.

“When I went to the outhouse, I asked Aunt Zhou to watch over Yuanyuan, but Aunt Zhou only went into the kitchen to bring Yuanyuan a bowl of sweet soup, and Yuanyuan disappeared.”

When the Zhang family learned that Yuanyuan was missing, they all stopped what they were doing to help search for her. When the villagers who were not busy heard that the child was missing, they also came out to help search.

"We've searched the whole village, but we can't find him. He's only a year old, where could he have gone?" Xiao Huan felt guilty and worried, and tears streamed down her face.

If anything happens to Yuanyuan, she won't live anymore!

"Don't panic." Shang Wan patted her shoulder reassuringly. "Can't find Little Grey either?"

Xiao Huan shook her head, "Xiao Hui just won't leave the yard."

Shang Wan raised an eyebrow in surprise. Xiao Hui was someone she had hired to guard the house and had a contract with. If Yuan Yuan went missing, Xiao Hui should be the first to run out to look for her. Why wouldn't she want to leave the yard?

Thinking of something, her ears twitched slightly, and a moment later, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

Upon hearing that Yuanyuan was missing, Lu Chengjing's usually expressionless face showed anxiety. He asked Shitou to help him up, and he also offered to help search for her.

"You can't even walk steadily, what trouble are you causing?" Shang Wan pressed the person back onto the oxcart. "Shitou, you and Xiaohuan drive the oxcart home, I'll bring Yuanyuan back in a bit."

Shi Tou asked excitedly, "Sister, do you know where Yuan Yuan is?"

Xiao Huan and the others also looked at Shang Wan.

"The little one is naughty." Shang Wan smiled, but Lu Chengjing couldn't help but think that smile was malicious. This woman was probably up to no good.

Liu Er had been mingling in the crowd waiting for Shang Wan. He squeezed to a spot closer to Shang Wan. "I heard the baby crying all the way to the village chief's house."

Zhang Er looked at him upon hearing the voice, "Liu Er, why didn't you say so earlier if you had a clue?"

"I just didn't want to say anything, so what?" Liu Er raised his head. He was afraid of Shang Wan, but he wasn't afraid of Zhang Er, that simpleton.

"You!" Zhang Er clenched his fist and was about to punch him, but Zhang Da stopped him.

Liu Er became increasingly smug, but deep down he felt a bit annoyed.

He'll probably be resented by the Lin family for saying that, but who cares? His own life is the most important thing.

"Then let's go to the village chief's house and ask first."

Shang Wan put two fingers to her lips and whistled. In no time, a burly gray wolf came galloping over.

"Oh my god, it's a wolf!"

"A wolf has entered the village!"

"Run!"

The villagers screamed in panic.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is a domesticated wolf. It won't hurt people randomly." After calming the oxen pulling the cart, Shang Wan squatted down and touched the gray wolf at her feet.

Little Grey was extremely docile, and its tail even swayed gently.

The villagers watched this scene in astonishment, wondering why the wolf looked like a dog.

Lu Chengjing also stared at the gray wolf. Taming beasts—another skill that Shang Wan had never possessed before.

Shi Tou didn't know what Shang Wan wanted to do by calling Xiao Hui over, but he blindly trusted Shang Wan now, so he didn't delay and drove the oxcart home.

Lu Chengjing, whose plans had been meticulously laid out, was speechless.

Xiao Huan didn't want to go back, but Shang Wan felt that if she kept crying, her eyes would be ruined, so she knocked her unconscious and stuffed her into the oxcart.

After the oxcart left, Shang Wan took Xiao Hui to the Lin family's house.

The villagers didn't leave; they were all eager to see what was going on and followed the others to the Lin family's house.

When Liu knocked on the Lin family's door, she opened it and saw a lot of people in front of the door, and her brows furrowed.

"You..." Before she could finish speaking, Little Grey ran inside, clinging to her leg.

"Wolf!" Liu was jolted by the impact and stumbled, managing to grab the door frame to avoid falling.

She didn't care what all those people were doing at the door, and quickly chased after them inside. Tie Dan and Er Ya were still in the yard.

Shang Wan stepped over the threshold and strolled into the Lin family home.

The villagers looked at each other and then followed them inside.

The Lin family's lively atmosphere is rare. Since we're already here, let's see what's happening before we leave.

Er Ya and Tie Dan were so frightened by Xiao Hui that they burst into tears.

"Get out!" Liu stammered, grabbing a broom and tentatively swinging it at Xiao Hui. "I'll beat you to death! Now get out!"

Little Grey ignored her, bared its wolfish mouth, and approached the two children. Its sharp teeth frightened the two children, making them cry even louder. Their little bodies trembled, and they wanted to run away but dared not.

Liu was so anxious that she burst into tears, looking at the villagers, "The wolf is going to eat people! Come and fight the wolf!"

“Little Grey is a pet, it doesn’t bite people randomly.” Before the villagers could speak, Shang Wan spoke first.

Upon hearing that the wolf wasn't biting, Liu breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, hearing her grandson's cries, she became extremely anxious again and scolded Shang Wan, "How can you be such a grown-up with no sense of propriety? Do you think wolves can be kept as pets? You little rascal, get the wolf away right now! If it bites my precious grandson, I won't forgive you!"

Shang Wan said, "Give me back my child, or else..."

Little Grey moved two inches closer to Iron Egg, its wolf mouth almost touching Iron Egg's face.

Tie Dan cried so hard that his face was covered in snot and tears, calling for his father, mother, and grandmother.

Hearing this, Liu felt extremely distressed. She grabbed a broom and swung it at Shang Wan, yelling, "You little devil!"

Shang Wan grabbed the broom and swung it around. Liu Shi couldn't withstand the force and fell to the side. She immediately started pounding the ground, kicking her legs, and crying out, "This is outrageous! There's no justice!"

Shang Wan narrowed his eyes, flicked the broom, and swept it straight across Liu's face, making a big hole in the wall.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

The villagers stared in astonishment. Shang Niangzi looked so thin and weak, but she was surprisingly strong.
Liu's shouts stopped abruptly, and she stared at Shang Wan in horror.

Isn't this woman the most bullied young mistress of the Lu family? How come she knows martial arts?
"Where is my child?" Shang Wan asked Chen San's father inside the house.

Old Chen raised his hand and wiped his neck, his hand covered in blood.

He screamed and fainted on the kang (a heated brick bed), landing right on top of Chen San.

Shang Wan noticed that Chen San's fingers twitched, and she secretly raised her eyebrows, realizing that he had indeed woken up.

She turned her gaze back to Liu, "Crying and making a scene won't work on me. I only want the child. If you can't hand him over..."

Little Grey let out a timely howl and pinned Iron Egg to the ground with one paw.

"Grandma, Grandma, save me!" Tie Dan cried out to Liu Shi for help.

Liu was so shocked that her eyes widened in horror. It was her precious grandson!

Shang Wan: "Hand over the child and I'll let him go."

"I don't understand what you're saying. I've never seen your child." Liu's eyes darted around.

Shang Wan stared at her, "Looks like you want to watch your grandson get eaten by wolves, huh, Little Gray!"

Little Grey lowered its head, grinned, revealing sharp teeth, and bit at Iron Egg's neck.

Just as the wolf's fangs were about to touch the child's skin, a stone suddenly hurled at Little Gray, who dodged it by tilting his head.

A man's angry roar came from the crowd, "You beast, how dare you hurt my son!"

Lin Jianshan pushed through the crowd and squeezed in, followed by Village Chief Lin and Lin Jianshui.

It turned out that the villagers, seeing that things were not going well, ran to the fields and called the men of the Lin family back.

"My Tiedan!" Lin Jianshan's wife, Zhou, shook off Chen Guifang's hand that was supporting her and lashed out at Shang Wan. "If you dare to hurt my son, I'll fight you to the death!"
